Hi Lynne, Would your William Morris be the Billy/William mentioned by Les Anderson in his book, "Pioneer Families and Settlement in the Wellington District"? Speaking about the area to the south of the Bournewood to Yeoval road, he mentions the Sunset Sheep Stud run by Ralf Morris and Son. with his sister Ruth also being a partner. "Billy Morris established this stud. I often purchased rams from him. I remember him saying that he was taking son Ralf into partnership with him as he thought it took more than one lifetime to build up a successful sheep stud. How true it turned out to be, as ill-health cut him off in the prime of his life. He was faithfully cared for by his wife and family. William was the son of George Morris, the son of Alfred Morris, and brother of James Jeffrey Morris." By the way, Wellington and Molong are actually in the Central rather than West List. If you posted your query to the Central List you might get someone who knows more details about your relatives.

Hi Rusheen, Rusheen (lovely name - what does it mean?!!), thank you for this - you are very kind. My William was the son of William Morris and Emily Jane Finnie. I realized after I sent this query in, that I should have posted to the other list!! However, I am looking for Holmes rellies in Cobar, so shall stay subscribed. Warmest regards, Lynne. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rusheen Craig" <rusheen@optusnet.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-WEST-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2004 2:03 PM Subject: Re: [NSW-W] MORRIS & RUMBLE families - Molong & Wellington > Hi Lynne, > > Would your William Morris be the Billy/William mentioned by Les Anderson in > his book, "Pioneer Families and Settlement in the Wellington District"? > > Speaking about the area to the south of the Bournewood to Yeoval road, he > mentions the Sunset Sheep Stud run by Ralf Morris and Son. with his sister > Ruth also being a partner. > > "Billy Morris established this stud.
