Hi John, I remembered the correspondence regards Peisley, but I had deleted it as it had no relevence to my research, so your memo is opportune. Yesterday while I was looking for something else on an old map I came across a "Peisley Park". It is located 83 k's west of Nevertire off the Mitchell Highway on the way to Nyngan, the next closest town/village would be Nymagee. Regards Lins. > Yes am aware of the Street but have made a few enquiries as to how the name > came about.

There are also Peisley's at Dubbo and I think it was Parkes (?) ! There is also a street names Peisley in ORANGE. Jennifer

Having come from just east of Nymagee I thought the name was Paisley Park. Can check with my mother if you want.Regards Elaine [email protected] wrote: > Hi John, > I remembered the correspondence regards Peisley, but I had deleted it as it had no relevence to my research, so your memo is opportune. > Yesterday while I was looking for something else on an old map I came across a "Peisley Park".
