I am trying to establish the original grantee(s) to Cogenburgh Estate which was situated near Goulburn and Bungonia on the Southern Highlands of NSW. >From items that I have found on Trove there were people living on or giving their address as the "Cogenburgh Estate" in the 1830's. This property became known as Kooringaroo sometime in the first decade of the 20th century After WW II the property, then approximately 5ooo acres, was split into 3 and became part of the Soldier Settler Scheme. The portion which had the original farmhouse, shearing shed and other farm buildings continued to be called Kooringaroo. My parents and a brother owned Kooringaroo during the 1960's and 70's. The current Kooringaroo is located at 859 Lumley Rd., Bungonia Hts. The indexes at the NSW State Archives are based on the name of the applicant for grant and it seems that without this information I will need to visit Sydney and browse the records although at this time I have no Real Property Description to go on. This presupposes that the name "Cogenburgh" would not have existed prior to the acquisition, it certainly does not come up on a "Key Name Search". Does any Lister have any advice on how I can achieve my purpose? Cheers Peter Melbourne
