Thank you for adding me to your list Linda. With such a vast area hope I don't go out of the boundaries. My families are very scattered so I shall post the main family names. I would like to contact anyone connected to the following. Am happy to share any of my info. Orange/Bathurst area: BLACKMAN (All branches particularly James & Mary John). Forbes/Parkes:BARNES (John Thomas b.1829. m Ellen Hearne. Lived at Palisthan. Parents:Thomas Barnes & Lydia Etherington) Deniliquin:McCARTHY (Francis J & Julia Ryan m.1892 Deniliquin) West Wyalong: O'RAFFERTY (John Joseph & Sarah Tucker (Curd). Albury: BLACKMAN, CURD, Le FEVRE, TUCKER, GALE, O'RAFFERTY, WAIN. My CURD family of RICHARD & MARY ANN SEXTON, sons Isaac(Charles), Lewis(William) and Alfred lived near Albury and the boys were baptized at Yass in the 1840's. They later moved to Beechworth and Alfred & his wife Lydia Broomfield Blackman lived until late 1890's. Maybe these few names may trigger something.Look forward to hearing from fellow researchers. Many thanks Marg Curd.
