    3. Dear Ron Just two from a google search, looks like the first one is your time period. http://www.jenwilletts.com/Timeline1797.htm 1844 Wesleyan church built in Newcomen Street, Newcastle. Rev. Lewis first clergyman http://www.pittwaterhouse.com.au/front/print-friendly.php?id_nav=236 T C Lewis of London built five organs for Australia. One of them was the organ now located at Pittwater House which was originally built for the Wesleyan Church in Tyrell Street in Newcastle. The organ was installed there by Charles Richardson in 1886 and opened on 8 March 1887 by George F King, organist of St Mary's West Maitland. In 1903 the organ was relocated by Richardson into the new Central Methodist Hall in King Street, Newcastle (see Graeme Rushworth's Historic Organs of New South Wales, p. 306 for a photograph from this period).
