Hi Kerry There are ten COFFEY's list as buried in Boorowa Cemetery and I can send you a list if you wish. Unfortunately, none of the entries identify them as being from aboriginal descent, so is COFFEY the married or family name?.

Do you have any other names that I may be able to use as a connection.
