Hi Howard, Jenny here from the ABN and other lists that you are on. Give me time during the day and I will see what I can find for you. The DANGARs were a very well known and respected family in the north and north west of the State of NSW also holders of large parcels of land. You will be looking for the family in KEMPSEY, I have checked one immigration resource 'no go', will check others when I come home this afternoon. Probably try browsing the archives of the AUS-NSW-NORCO (north coast) list too. Kempsey is located between Newcastle and Brisbane on the east coast (two Main cities found on any map). Regards Jenny

Hullo, I'm new to this list, having discovered in this List's Archives (for 2000!) that one line of my family turned up in this area. George KNIGHT & Euphemia SMITH married 17 Apr 1820 Liberton Midlothian. Their family (if not them themselves) must have emigrated bet 1841 and 1851. They turn up in Kemsey, lived, married and buried there - unsure of my geography but several are buried in Commandant Hill. >From the partial index of the Macleay Chronicle on the web, I can see that a daughter Euphemia KNIGHT (d c1911) married a John FERRIER, another daughter Lillias KNIGHT (d c1910) married William Thomas DANGAR, a third daughter Grace KNIGHT died unmarried, and a son George KNIGHT d c1912 - marital status unknown. In the IGI, Lillias KNIGHT is given as Lillian WRIGHT. This is incorrect - the marriage of Lillias KNIGHT & William Thomas DANGAR was announced in an Edinburgh newspaper, her father being given as George KNIGHT of Little France. This identifies Lillias with certainty. The 2000 posting in this list concentrated on the DANGAR side. My 3xgtgdparents John PENTLAND & Ann KNIGHT farmed at Little France, Liberton, Midlothian for many years. Ann KNIGHT was George KNIGHT's sister. I think George KNIGHT & Euphemia SMITH were the last of my line at Little France (where he was a publican in 1841). I want to find out why they were the last. I understand there is an obituary in the Macleay Chronicle (date unsure - 1912?) which might (doubt it!) throw some light on the reason for emigration. Failing that, looking for clues why the family emigrated, and any memories of their time in Little France, Liberton. Possibly someone has more extensive info than I have noted above. Howard Geddes

BlankHi I'm doing research into RICHARD BOYLE who married SARAH TULLOCH in Maitland in 1863. They had about 10 children who were born in Patricks Plains/Singleton. Any one know this family Kind regards Dianna

Dear Pauline, In view of what MargM has said I doubt if there would be papers at KINGSWOOD. These days an Inquest would be "dispensed with" as during a Post Mortem examination of the body the Medical Officer (Government MO back then) would have submitted his report disclosing that he found xyz in his examination of the heart and brain. Inquests are held where a Doctor who has been treating the deceased can not issue a certificate as to the cause of death, eg treating for heart disease, but run over by a car and died from those injuries. Sincerely,Bill >> >> Hello, >> I was wondering if someone could do a look up for me >> Please, although I am >> not sure if it was >> in the Maitland Mercury.

Dear Pauline, Rod and Wendy GOW have indexed a lot of the papers from that area. Google their name and you might be lucky to find a reference in their index. Not all Inquests were published to the best of my knowledge, but there are papers held for some (not all survived) at State Records, KINGSWOOD. Have a look at Archives in Brief No. 4 on www.records.nsw.gov.au which deals with Inquests. You do however have to be at Kingswood to ask if the file survived. Serious ones were kept, such as Murder.

Hi Pauline Some 10 years ago the Maitland Family History Circle published a couple of books on local inquests The death of Ignatius HARTCHER is listed and has info on this Inquest held Melville 26 Dec 1872. Verdict was death from disease of the heart / old age Bye MargM Hunter Valley List Admin

Hi Margaret http://www.xroyvision.com.au/singleton/imagess/pic_details.php?pid=41 Try this link. Glenn -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Margaret Bauer Sent: Friday, May 22, 2009 11:26 AM To: Maitland & Hunter NEWSGROUP Subject: [HV] Morris's Hospital at Singleton Hi Listers I am trying to locate an image of the private cottage hospital run by Frances Agnes Morris (nee Drew) at Singleton, New South Wales, during the early 1900s. Also does anyone possibly know the history of this hospital ?. I would like to add some story and a picture in the story I am creating of my mother's life and this part of things pertains to her first marriage as this Frances Agnes Morris was for some time her mother-in-law. My mother has been deceased for many years and back then I never queried her in any depth of her first husband who died as the result of Mustard Gas poisoning from WWI. I have been told that this cottage hospital, was always a busy place and although there were patients and children with various complaints she (meaning Frances) really excelled in the midwifery side of nursing, and had some sort of temporary lodging for women from way out of town whose time to have their babies was close and they would come in and stay for a few days or weeks until the births of their children. I dare say that the place is still there and most likely a private dwelling these days, but unfortunately I do not know the address to even assist with more description that might help further, in learning its full history. Hope someone can help Regards Margaret ************************* Margaret Bauer Qld, Australia.

I'm not sure if this is your cottage hospital, but there was a provate/cottage hospital called "Fairholmë" which is currently used as a doctor's surgery.
