Thanks Colleen, " First of all, I know Maiden's Brush Road is at Wyoming and timber mills were located at Narara, Lisarow and Ourimbah area, I would say Maiden Brush was between Gosford and Wyoming ..." I did find some historical information on Wyoming, as I thought this may have been called Maiden Brush in the past, but Wyoming has a very interesting history of it's own [a property from the 1840s, and doesn't appear to have anything to do with Maiden Brush. I live too far away from the Central Coast to visit the library, but I may be able to borrow the book 'Blue Gum Flats' on inter-libary loan through my local library. Thanks for the reference. "Morrisset Hospital cared for people who had suffered mental breakdowns, or who were depressed or any person with mental disabilities" Thanks also for the information on Morisset Mental Hospital. I suspect the person I am interested in may have been suffering from dementia. He was 65 years old when he died there. I'll try Lake Macquarie Council and library on the net. "My brother was connected to the Crighton family through marriage" I am interested to know of your brother's connection to the Creighton family. It is great for me to be connected to an old central coast family, even if my branch [William Creighton] eventually ended up being Sydneysiders. The history of the central coast is fascinating. It would have been an amazing place to live in the early days. Quite isolated and stunningly beautiful along the waterways. The early pioneers must have been strong-minded and hard-working to cope with the tough conditions, Regards Wendy
