Hi folks, After years of leaving it in the 'too hard' basket I am trying to track down any information about a place called Wrightville, in the Cobar area. I see from the BDM indexes that there was a family called Wright in the area - I assume they owned this property. My grandmother was born Olive Violet Branch GOULD in 1903 at Wrightville, her mother was Edith Gould - father's name not given. When she married in 1919 to Mervyn MAHON of Bobadah, she gave her father's name as Charles Brown McGILL. Any thoughts, leads, contacts or information on the area or people named would be most appreciated. Thanks, Rondo _________________________________________________________________ Send mobile Christmas cards, download a festive ringtone and win a Motorola E365.
