Hi My Joseph Davis was a signatory to Memorial re: Windsor Glebe (Fiche 3056; 4/1832 No.431A) dated the 28/12/1822 Can someone let me know what was the Windsor Glebe. The memorial note reads as follows with many signatures below. Wilberforce December 28th 1822 We the undersigned Inhabitants of the District of Wilberforce and entitled to the right of Common in the said District, hereby consent to give up that portion of the Common lying between the back corner of Burgess's Farm (now in the possessions of Charles Cross) and the south west corner of Cavanaugh's Farm and thence to the river, provided the same be appropriated to the purposes as named in a Memorial hereto announced, and where in plan of the said piece of land is laid down from the Colonial Charts, and marked No. 3. All assistance would be appreciated. Regards - Keith Skinner
Hello Keith. Here is a link to the results of a google search asking what are glebe lands in general; and not specifically the Windsor Glebe; just in case that might help you too. http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&source=hp&fkt=2469&fsdt=8344&q=what+are+%22glebe+lands%22&meta=&aq=f&oq=&aqi= Whilst each will be informative, the fourth 'hit' from the top is specifically relating to Australian legislation in 1865.
