In regards to the enquiry about the Rook Inn owned by Terence O'Brien, I would suggest theat you check out the excellent State Records finding Aids about the major sources held by State Records that relate to publicans licenses. http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/guides-and-finding-aids/archives-in-brief/archives-in-brief-61 Other useful sources are newspapers (located at the public library concentrating on the Bishops Bridge area, National Library of AUstralia or the State Library of NSW) You could also try http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home The NSW Government Gazettes also published licenses. (GG is held by the StAte Library of NSW and now available on CD-ROM through local libraries and research centres) You can also access via the World Vital Listings (Australia site) at http://www.worldvitalrecords.com.au/ where you can currently get a free trial.
