Thank you to all those that responded to my story about my grandparents and the Red Cow Hotel to Lack Hotel. I love the stories from our descendants, especially when it ties in with the local history or early settlement. It is a great shame when someone passes and that wealth of information goes with them. Sharing the information is so important for future generations. It creates the tapestry of those times and makes them more personnel. In reference to Clare's question, no I am not from that line. My line is Andrews, Haddow, they were from Werrington/St Marys in the early settlement of South Creek. Their records are with Penrith City Library in the Local History Section. Thanks Laura for your comments, I am glad you enjoyed it.Congratulations on your website. Alan I tend to agree with you and I am glad that you are compiling your "Antidotes" as it is the people that makes the fabric of our history and early society. The dates, times and places are important but it is the stories from the people that gives it the flavour of these times. I am sure that there are many stories like mine that are left untold.
