Hi Everyone Does anyone know or have these two names in their family tree Elizabeth Mckeon and Martin Bronan married at Broulee 1865 they seem to disappear after this date kind regards Joan

Hi Joan I had a few twigs on our JONES branches in the area during this time. There was a major flood and many families left the area - some of mine came back to Parramatta the others went further north to the Taree area. There was a cedar/gold boom up the Araluen and the town of Nelligen (just west of Batemans Bay) was in a boom then the flood came in the late 60's - 1868 from memory. The three lines I have been looking at all left in 1869 or 1870. I had wondered why so I stopped in at Nelligen next time I was in the area - and the local sign tells of this flood which wiped out a large part of the town.
