This is my first mail to this list. Hullo everyone. My gggrandfather William Stewart is said to have worked on these properties approx 1855-1875. Can anyone help me with information about them, the people who owned them and any records that might survive of their operations. Best of all would be records that might name William as a worker there. As far as I know he was a general labourer although he did cut stone for a building at Bowenfells later. His wife Bridget/Elizabeth/Eliza and son John b c1855 moved and camped with him when he worked on these places apparently so I presume John would have attended school where possible but worked when he was old enough. 'Wontabadgery' means - wonta, an aboriginal word and badgery after the BADGERY family who owned(?) the place, in the Murrumbidgee area. 'Burrambogie' was/is in Hay area. Any leads? TIA.
