Dear Lynne, In case anyone else is interested in Ben or Lillian ESGATE the book is by Jim SMITH not Fisher. Jim is an historian specialising in the Blue Mountains and knew the Esgates well. Good news that you an make contact.

Thanks, Joan. Sorry for my mistake - another Senior moment. The name 'Jim Fisher' was in my mind in a different context!
