Hi Rusheen. Thank you for that great bit of info. I'd love to send you a story on Charles Duchatel but apart from his birth, parents and family I know very little of him or his moves. I shall keep looking and I'll contact you when I have something further to write. I have found a Mona Josephine Duchatel nee Watson and her husband John C Duchatel (Son of Charles & Martha) were land holders at Griffith early 1900's and were also residents of White Cliffs. Many thanks Marg. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rusheen Craig" <rusheen@optusnet.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-WEST-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 4:23 AM Subject: Re: [NSW-W] DUCHATEL > Hi Margaret, > > According to Dansie, the Exchange Hotel was a 12 roomed wood and iron > structure opened by Charles F.
