Hi Judy, Phoenix Park was, I believe over the river from Morpeth, so would you have any POWER mentions in your book 'Morpeth and I' please? Thanks, Yvonne Scrivener Wagga Wagga NSW Australia -----Original Message----- From: aus-nsw-hunter-valley-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-nsw-hunter-valley-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of judy waterer Sent: Wednesday, 21 March 2007 4:50 PM To: aus-nsw-hunter-valley@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HV] Books We Have Read I have a copy of "Morpeth and I" written by A.P.Elkin to mark the centenary of St James' Church, Morpeth in 1937. Better known as a Professor of Anthropology at Sydney University, Elkin was also an ordained Anglican minister who worked at one time in the Newcastle Diocese, including a period as Rector of St James'. In addition to its emphasis on Anglican Church history, there is considerable general information about the township of Morpeth, its businesses and its people, and a very comprehensive index. I found some nice first hand information on one of my ancestors there in the 1850s and ' 60s actually recalled by a very old resident interviewed by Elkin for the book in the 1930s. I am happy to do look ups for anyone with an interest in 19th century Morpeth. Judy.

Sorry, only one, Yvonne, and not actually in the district at all. Rev. Daniel POWER (Roman Catholic) is mentioned as following the pioneering priest Fr. Therry in the Colony in 1826. The RC Parish of Morpeth was not constituted until 1875 and he appears as part of a general introduction to that topic.
