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. Thankyou Margaret ************************* Margaret Bauer Queensland, Australia bauerm@tpg.com.au *************************

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
