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 June, none of those names appear. Did they go to Morpeth? It's on the Hunter and not near Grafton. Judy. june m robinson wrote: >Hi Judy, interested in the Families of Hackett, Cameron. Mc Lucas. Ross all >from arounf the grafton area. > thanks. June > >
