Dear Jill, In reference to your enquiry re William Henry Vincent and his sons Henry and Frank and the newspapers they were involved in, there is a book by Rod Kirkpatrick titled "Country Conscience - a history of NSW provincial press 1841-1995" which has many references to these men and their newspapers. The book was published in 2000 and its isbn is 0 646 402706. Hope the above is of some assistance.
