G'day Marg,   Would you be aware if there is any mention in Edward STINSON's books in relation to the ANSON and BUFF families.   They were generally located a little further south of the Wyong area in the Matcham Valley past the New Settlements.   Many thanks Wal Towells “May all the trees that you grow, bear fruit”   Need a Holiday?

Hi Wal, According to the annotated index of Stinson's books from Wyong shire library, there is no mention of ANSON and the only mention of BUFF is Buff Point. You can download it here http://www.wyong.nsw.gov.au/netopac/Annotated%20Index%20to%20Stinson.pdf - saves a lot of searching. Cheers David Would you be aware if there is any mention in Edward STINSON's books in relation to the ANSON and BUFF families.
