Dear Listers I was searching for info this morning and happened to look thru the Rev Alfred GLENNIE 1855 plus journal when he was the incumbent of Brisbane Water and found what I was looking for ........... Bapt of baby Anna in 1856, which isnt in the NSW birth records This reads Anna REIGLER , dau of Andreas , labourer of Wallaroo Park and Anna WALBOURING b 16 May 1856 Also bap of a Charles Hy KLUMPP. son of Christian Joseph , Vine dresser and gardener of Wallaroo Park & Johanna Frederica b 15 May 1856 This birth is in the NSW records registered Gosford 1856 / 4581 The Rev states on Friday he went up to Mr LEEs at Reedy Flat to baptise 2 German children That doesn't help much as dunno where that was either :-) Does anyone know please ? Many thanks bye MargM Central Coast List Admin
Post 1856 the Rev Glennie was living in the Hunter Valley west of Maitland and I think Wallaroo Park is between Maitland and Clarence Town. ..· ´¨¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ -:¦:- -:¦:- ((¸¸.·´*.` Jenny McCarthy Brightwaters N.S.W. on beautiful Lake Macquarie

On April 29, 1857, the Rev Alfred Glennie, an Anglican Minister who lived at Gosford between 1850 and 1862, occasionally 'borrowed' an Aborigine from a neighbour in order to paddle him around Brisbane Water in a small boat, The only Wallaroo Park Google could find is abit south of Clarencetown . Must have been another in the mid 1850's Are more spelling than you can poke a stick at for this surname . Have found REIGLER , Gwen came up with RAIGLER, In later records its RICKLAR, RICKLER, RICKLOW and maybe STEIGLER A Joseph LEES worked at a sawmill , Blue Gum Flat mid 1850's,,,,,,,,, Maybe Reedy Flat was near ???? Havent come across it before Bye MargM
Hello MargM Found on http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:G80IeMxAhtoJ:www.huntervalleygenealogy.com/Glennie.pdf+reedy+flat+gosford+1830&hl=en Page 2 of Revd Glennie's Journal on their journey from Gosford to Maitland: "the roads were bad from recent rains, our travelling pace was slow, and our only halt was 3/4 of an hour at REEDY FLAT, it was quite dark before we reached Mount Vincent....."" Mount Vincent is 9 km north of Freemans Waterholes, 2 km south of Mulbring. Therefore, Reedy Flat must be some distance south of Freemans - but you may already know that. INDEX for "THE BRISBANE WATER STORY" Part 1: Gosford and the Henry Kendall Country By Charles Swancott. Published 1953 Second Edition 1966, has a reference to "Reedy Flat, 70". Regards Joanne have been more highly favoured, as regards the weather, as we were on that day. Itwas a complete specimen of a perfect Australian Winter’s day. Cloudless sky, & calm; The roads being bad from recent rains, our travelling pace was slow, & though our only halt was ¾ of an hour at Reedy Flat, it was quite dark before we reached Mount Vincent.
