According to The white pages there are still 4 Toohey and one Gatt Family in Broken Hill. I went to school with Don Toohey in Broken Hill in the 1940's and 1950's. There were several families of Tooheys there then. I suspect they would be related to your tooheys and Gatts. billsymo@bigpond.net.au www.users.bigpond.com/bill_symo.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Meg CAIN" <megc@austarmetro.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-WEST-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 08, 2004 7:29 PM Subject: [NSW-W] >Hi all, > >Im reposting my name interests in the hope of some info > >GATT, CAIN, MAYNARD, TOOHEY > >The Gatt and Toohey families I have as residing around the Broken Hill area >(approx 1920s).
