Actually, I have heard reference to a 'wine shop'!! I will send you a picture, perhaps you could be so kind to identify for me? -----Original Message----- From: aus-nsw-hills-hawkesbury-hunter-valley-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-nsw-hills-hawkesbury-hunter-valley-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Allan Murphy Sent: Monday, 30 November 2009 4:15 PM To: aus-nsw-hills-hawkesbury-hunter-valley@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HHHV] BISHOPS BRIDGE The Rook Inn / Terence (Terrans) O'Brien Allan Murphy allanmurphy47@bigpond.com My Grand parents, Lyall and Isabella Nash, lived at Bishops Bridge near Maitland up to the mid 1960s. In the late 1950s when I visited the house for the first time I was told that the house they were living in use to be a "wine shop" and it had a cellar beneath the lounge room. So I do not know if this is you're The Rook Inn. It the early 1960s, this house was replaced by a three bedroom house.

Hope you are all having a delightful morning. All this talk of hotels has got me wondering if anyone has any info on The Rook Inn, which was owned at one time by Terence O'Brien. It was in (or near) Bishops Bridge. I'd also be interested in more info on Bishops Bridge. Most descendants would be aware Terence had two families, one with first wife Mary Moylan and one with second wife Margaret Hogan. I have a distant photo of him and some family members outside the hotel but would love to know more about it. I have looked, so far with little success. Any ideas? Terence died in 1900. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-NSW-HILLS-HAWKESBURY-HUNTER-VALLEY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-NSW-HILLS-HAWKESBURY-HUNTER-VALLEY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
