Place names Upper Richmond My ancestor Thomas KIRK and family are listed on the Census as being in Ham County, Upper Richmond? Also he is listed BDM as place of death Upper Richmond. any clues to where the exact location would be welcomed. A bit of trivia. 1. "Evening News" of May 2nd 1859 published the following: Bushrangers - On Saturday as Thomas Kirk and John Waters, both residents of Yellow Mundies (now called Yarramundi) were returning homeward together with their teams, they were attacked by three ruffians, disguised, between Castlereagh and Richmond. The article states that the ruffians are supposed to be well known to the police. 2. Thomas Kirk is registered as having a licence for "The Plough" in 1853, 1854; in 1856 the name changed to "The Plough Inn". This information is from "Butts and Certs. of the First Publicans Licences 1830-1860": indexed by Jean McNaught 1997. ----- Original Message ----- From: "BERNICE CALLAGHAN" <bernicec@ozemail.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-HILLS-HAWKESBURY-HUNTER-VALLEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 10, 2002 8:00 PM Subject: [H,H,HV] place names
