Hi Michael, Thanks for your reply....apparently the "Edwards Cutting" was on a monument for Joshua...The monumental masons name was Edward and he cut the inscription, I have quite a bit on Joshua if you are interested,...just not where he was buried, cheers Liz Norfolk Island -----Original Message----- From: Michael Wise [mailto:BRUIN1@bigpond.com] Sent: Thursday, 14 December 2006 4:23 PM To: Liz McCoy Subject: Re: [HV] Joshua Peck, Hello Liz,, the only info I hsve on Joshua is that he died in 1825 at Newcastle and was buried at "the cutting". I searched to no avail to find out where this "cutting" was. it could have related to a number of thing ---coal Cut in, cutting stone for roadwork,place for cutting sandstone for building work,?????. Sorry dont have much on this fellow at all not even his time on Norfolk, Cheers ,Michael.
