Good evening everyone, I've been trying to make contact with someone in Mudgee who could help me find out what resources are at the Museum and Library, and any other historical place. Could anyone help me with am email address for the Library please? I've tried to write to the Library via the Mid-Western Regional Council, they said they would send the message on, but I've written twice over a couple of weeks, and had no reply, same with a letter this week to someone at the Museum. My g/g.father, John Richardson McWilliam was owner/part-owner/journalist with the "Western Post" from 1875-1884, and I'm coming down to Mudgee to find out something about where he lived, and hope to read over some of the newspapers, if there are any in the Museum etc. Also, a daughter died there in 1875, I'd like to find her grave. I'd appreciate any help you can give, Cheers, Jill Brisbane.

Hi Jill My husband and I were in Mudgee a couple of weeks ago researching at the Museum and had wonderful success.....they have a great collection of family histories there, school records, so much available....we originally went to look at the Rate Books but didn't get that far as there was so much to look at,so will be in for another visit. The Mudgee Library has the newspapers available on film also. I have the Mudgee & Gulgong General Cemetery monumental inscriptions for all demoninations if you'd like any look ups prior to your visit. Research interests in Mudgee are. BIRTLES, ELSTON, SMITH, RAYNER, BAGNELL, HALLORAN and many other associated names.

Joan I am interested in your RAYNER, my husbands Grandmother was Annie RAYNER (1872-1939) daughter of William RAYNER and Sarah PINCHAM.. It was Mudgee Museum that finally found the resting place for Sarah.
