Thank you June. I'll follow that lead. The directory says Maryland, New England so perhaps Stanthorpe is a bit too far north. I'd assumed somewhere near Murrurundi because of the supposedly strong Hunter connections at this time and because son John is listed at Murrurundi. However this could be a very mistaken assumption. Am not sure how far "New England" extended at that time - and what the generally accepted boundaries (if any) of the "Maitland" region were in the late 1830s. Does any lister have any knowledge of the locally accepted areas - or did just about anything go?

Ann, I think thats the one I was thinking of. between Stanthorpe and Warwick on the highway there is a sign to Maryland, which is actually in NSW.
