Hello Rosemary, My father knew 'Ted' Beattie--the Gouldsville post-master--very well. Dad had a farm about 800 meters from Ted's house--which also served as the Post Office and exchange. Dad went to Ted's place at night, and they would play draughts. This was about 1913. Ted kept bees and made 'Honey Beer' or mead. Both David & Margaret are buried at the C. of E. cemetery at Whittingham--the main C. of E. cemetery for Singleton. Unfortunately, I cannot see it 'on-line'--but the S.F.H.S. would have it listed and available for purchase. This may not help you if there is no headstone. When I went to school [1936]-- I rode my pony past the old Beattie home at Gouldsville--which was deserted--made of slabs with an iron roof--now demolished. The Beatties owned what was known as Boggy Flat. The telephone service didn't last long--due to lack of support. There were only 2 subscribers--my uncle Frank--Gouldsville 1 and my father--Gouldsville 2. I also have some knowledge of a few of the other names you mention--e.g. Thrift, Thorley, Harbourne, etc. I have further detail if you require it. Regards, Bennie.
