Hi all I have read the emails about location of St Vincents. When looking through some family files yesterday I came across a photocopy given to me of the death notice of Mary Ann Slade of Raymond Terrace. I believe that this family remained largely in the Hunter district and have always assumeed that Mt Vincent was there as the deaths of the relevant family died in the Hunter area. I have copied the notice: Port Stephens Examiner, 13 September 1901 Death of Mrs. J. Slade - The area is remarkable for the heavy mortality rate, and probably when the statistics it will be found to be many percentages ahead of previous years. We have to announce yet another death yet among our towns people, that of Mrs. John Slade, of Irrawang St., which occurred on Wednesday last, from diabetes, after a short illness, at the age of 73 years. Mrs. Slade, who was married twice, was the mother of Messrs. G. White (Tea Gardens), D. and E. White (Richmond River), S. White (Williamtown), Mrs. R. McKenzie of Nelson's Plains, Mrs. S. Moxey (Williamtown) Mrs. J. White of this town and the Messrs. Slade of Williamtown and Mount Vincent. The remains were followed by a large number of residents from surrounding districts to the Wesleyan cemetery, where internment took place. [Note haqndwritten on notice - Mrs. Slade was only 69 and this was corrected in the paper on Friday, 20 September 1901. Mrs Slade was also the mother of Mrs. Shearman of Fullerton Cove.)

Hi, Would the Mr Slade of Mt Vincent of your obit be John Slade who married Selina Osland? Selina was born & raised at Mt Vincent (near Kurri Kurri) and at some point after her marriage she moved to Williamtown where they had a dairy farm. I know John Slade came from a large family in the Williamtown area. I have details on the Osland family.
