Hi Rhonda Sir William Manning was involved with John Nadin at Candelo and Kameruka - he was a magistrate and there is a lot on him online http://www.manning.ch/genealogy/f822.htm http://adbonline.anu.edu.au/biogs/A050237b.htm http://www.auspostalhistory.com/articles/1964.shtml I am reading "A Colonial woman" Te Life and times of Mary Braidwood Mowle whose husband was the collector of customs at Eden in 1850's and the Mannings are mentioned often.
