Hello Carol, I am very interested in your publications. I have a James Freel/Frail/Freil/Friel who lived for a short time at Collaroy station with wife Bridget nee Sweeney. They had 3 children, Esther Jane born in Black Creek, John Neil who was born at Collaroy Station, Isabella who as born near Forbes. Do you know whether there is any mention of this family. A cousin of Bridget's (Ann Gillespie) married Bryan Egan who is thought to have been a clerk or book keeper at Collaroy station. Bryan went onto being an Innkeeper and then large landowner near Dubbo. Bryan was a convict on the "Norfolk" 3.
