Good mornig Jim, Try the site below for some info and pictures of early Sydney. Lynette Surrey www.srwww.records.nsw.gov.au/public/gallery/rocks/rocks Hello to all, I am trying to find a potted history of life in Sydney during the period 1855 to about 1890 and would appreciate some help. Whilst a snapshot in general would be welcome I have a particular interest in The Rocks and Circular Quay due to the fact that my people were mariners and lived in Cumberland Street, Queen and George Street area. My interests are SATTERLY, COATES, RUTTER and FERRIER. for that period. Also trying to find the Records of the Catholic Orphanage at Parramatta from about 1854 to about 1855. Have an interest in 3 children named COATES who were transferred from the Randwick Asylum to Parramatta about 1854. I think that the Parramatta Orphanage was initially run by Lay people on behalf of the Catholic Church for a period. Jim Brisbane

You will find the Microsoft Icon in the very bottom left hand corner of you screen. Open that and you will see a little box at the bottom that say something like "Search programs and files". Type the 3 letters cmd into the search box and press enter. This should bring up a DOS window.

Hi again Listers, Many thanks to Beverley for such a quick and positive reply to my request for a Rookwood Cemetery look-up (Sarah CROWLEY, died Jan. 1887). I now have the confirmation I was seeking. Good wishes to all, Don Bradmore, Central Victoria

Hi Listers, I'm wondering whether some kind soul with access to the Rookwood Cemetery CD can check the grave location of Sarah CROWLEY (nee BRADMORE) who died at Glebe on 4 January 1887 and was buried at Rookwood in the days which followed. In a family memoir written many years later, the location is given as 'C of E Section, CC728' but I've been unable to confirm that. The memoir mentions that her son, Clarence William, was buried beside her in grave CC727 in 1931. Thank you, Don Bradmore, Central Victoria.

I suspect that your man was a Tinker ie someone who made/sold tin saucepans & other household effects. I too have an ancestor who was a tinker.

Thanks Jocelyn. John S Smith an MP and of Mamre is used to describe him, when I googled him. He was a wealthy Squatter.

Hi Listers Sorry to be a bit slow in responding to the replies, but this morning has been a bit of a case of "The best laid plans etc.," here, just when I was itching to be doing this instead. Never mind, I do thank everyone so much for their time and effort in answering my query, I appreciate it so very much. My ancestors were Patrick and Cecilia Harper (my 2x great grandparents actually) and I descend from their daughter Mary Harper (who was their 16th child). It is on her certificate that their residence said "Glebe Farm, South Creek" and as Tony said in his reply it is Cecilia's death notice which mentioned the place "Landyle Estate" but I could not find it to know how it related to where my ancestors were. Patrick was granted 100 acres of land there at South Creek in 1820 and later another 100 acres, was added, and I was trying to pinpoint just where precisely the farm must have been. When I saw the other responses saying "Llandilo" and said it to myself I could see the error and cross with myself as I saw that place staring me in the face on the map I was looking at and did not take any notice of thinking outside the square, so I must have been having a senior moment as the penny did not drop. Thanks once again everyone that was a great help. Bye now Margaret ************************* Margaret Bauer Queensland, Australia bauerm@tpg.com.au *************************

Dear Gloria, Moquilamba was a run out Cobar way, a long way from South Creek.

I have been watching with interest the replies to Margaret's request and am hoping someone can maybe describe to me where at South Creek my forebear 's land was situated. His name was John Samuel Smith son of John Smith and Mary Foster. Mary was the daughter of Samuel Foster and Ann Single a convict. Samuel Foster was granted land out that way also. But he returned to England in about 1817 , taking Ann and Mary with him . He died in 1819 leaving all his wealthy lands etc in NSW to Mary his daughter. John Samuel Smith's land was at South Creek. In 1866 he held Bullock Creek, Merrere, Moquilamba It may have been land initially granted to Samuel Foster his grandfather., and passed on to him at his mother's death in Sydney , in the 1860's Gloria

Dear Margaret, LLANDILO is adjacent to the Munitions Factory land. That land, or a lot of it, is currently being developed into residential land. Eighth Avenue Llandilo crosses South Creek which floods and makes the area cut off from that end. Entry can still be gained from Northern Road. As Tony said the blocks were cut up into small areas, actually they were 2.5 acres. The house I bought in 1964 was on three 2.5 acre blocks.

Dear Margaret, I hope these references will give you a jump start on your HARPER quest.... Landyle obviously mutates to Llandilo ........... Terry Brook probably mutates to Cranebrook ........ Basic Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llandilo,_New_South_Wales Llandilo NSW postcode2747....... European settlement: The first land grant in the area was made to Samuel Terry in 1818. He named the area Terry Brook. By the 1860s it was known as Llandilo after a Welsh town. While the landholdings have reduced in size down to around one or 2 acres (8,100 m2), the area is still primarily rural as it has been for the past 200 years or so St. Paul's Emu Plains with Castlereagh, Llandilo and Cranebrook Glebe Sale and Declaration of Trust Ordinance number1965..........

Rare place names sometimes get weird spelling variants. In 1861 a Mrs Jane Robertson lived in a place named LANDILANDS. Wonder where that was???? It may help your chances if your ancestors name/s was added to this query.... Cheers, ALISTAIR

Hi Listers I have a query for anyone who has done a good deal of researching in the Windsor and South Creek area of Sydney please. I have located that ancestors of mine were farming 200 acres of land they called "Glebe Farm" and this was apparently a part of the "Landyle Estate", at South Creek near Windsor. My ancestors were known to be there from 1820 to just after 1852, but gone by the big flood in 1857. I have been fossicking about on the Internet and searching the maps to see if something might turn up about this "Landyle Estate" to assist me, but nothing so far to even give me some clue or idea just where it was precisely. So, has anyone heard of or know if it changed its name to something else or what. I am stumped.
