Both came from Scotland & settled in Dorrigo/Armidale and later Coffs Harbour area. Do not know if they came out together, when they married and if it was here in Australia. Children known - 1.

Sarah Jane (Jane) married William (Bill) Dawson in 1894. William Henry McGuire married Isabella Duncan Grant (?) in Maitland (?). Isabella came from Edinburgh Scotland. Children known- 1. William Henry (Born 1846) 2. Alexander Aitken McGuire (Born 1849 twin) - see details above 3. Elizabeth Sara (Born 1849 twin) married William Edmonds in 1868 4.

Hi! All I'm new to this list my interests are: Armfield, Beddoes, Boyle, O'Reilly, Vidler & Wells I'm looking forward to hearing from anyone researching these names. Valmae Armfield

I just thought I would relist these names as I have just about finished with the NSW side of the family and want to get underway with these. Is there anyone else with an interest in them? Generally they are in SE Qld. I'm also on the SE Qld German list so apologize if you get this message twice. Elaine

Please excuse my posting this to all lists when some information may not be relevant - and some of you will get multiple postings - but it is the easiest way to give out the information. I have just reached a time to pause in my research and in sorting through all my materials have found a handful of certificates and transcripts which turned out to be for the wrong people for me. Hopefully, they will be for the right person somewhere else on a list. They are - marriage of James MARSHALL and Esther BURNS, Wellingrove, 1873 marriage of Wilfred CONNOLLY and Agnes HAMILTON, Warialda, 1908 marriage of Thomas SCHIPP and Agnes HAMILTON, Tamworth, 1893 (third time was lucky in finding "my" Agnes HAMILTON <g>) marriage of David FOLLINGTON and Jane MARSHALL, Tamworth, 1882 birth of Marion McLeod HAMILTON to James HAMILTON and Catherine McLEOD, Wollongong, 1890 marriage of John HAMILTON and Isabella McCAUGHEY, Berrima, 1866 death of William BATES, son of William BATES and Selina FLECKING, Canterbury, 1942 burial of Janet HAMILTON, Camperdown, 1857 (aged 64 years) Please contact me directly if you would like any of these. Elaine

The Macksville History Group's Federation Project is a booklet on the Bragg Family of Lower Nambucca circa 1890s-1980s. A typical pioneering family of that era. $6 (I believe - my copy was a gift) from the History Group if anyone is interested in that family. Jan Thomas on the banks of the beautiful Hawkesbury River
