Hi all, I have in my procession a photo from about 1860 - 1870 showing a shop selling wicker baskets. The shop is of wooden construction & adorned with all kinds of basket ware. Standing outside are a man & his son. On the back of the photo is written Carl Maweach or Moureach - German, Dresden. Sydney. New Castle. The picture was in an old photo album we inherited. I think the photo would have been sent back to Evesham, Worcestershire here in the Uk by a close relative of My Gt Gt Grandfather Mark Beard. If anyone is interested in seeing the picture & perhaps identifying where it is, I'd be happy to email copies directly. Regards Sally Gunton Ilkley West Yorkshire UK
Hi Sally My suggestion is to have a look through the NSW BDM Index which is online at http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/ It might give you something on that name. Newcastle is the name of a very large city just north of Sydney.
