Hello Ken Henry Dangar, surveyor and explorer of the Hunter, owned many properties in the Hunter (as well as his five brothers). Should Dangerfield Farm be Dangarfield Farm? I am not sure as to the occupations used in documents in Australia in the 1800's, however servant and agricultural labourer were in common use in England. In my records the usage for occupational names were more precise in NSW, such as farm worker, farm hand, farmer, builder, fencer, shepherd, some were recorded as just labourers. In the 1872 Grevilles Post Office directory I found some occupations recorded as servants, and labourers, (but no agricultural labourers). There are many directories for NSW and the country towns that were printed between 1820 to 1933. The 1872 is the only one that is available free online. For the others you would have to go to a large library that has a family history section and view the information on microfiche. There is an Australian website that charges a yearly fee to view the 1871 and 1879 electoral rolls and the 1876 Grevilles PO Directory, if you are unable to get to a large library (such as Blacktown, Hornsby, or the State Library). Further discussion should take place on the Hunter Valley list [email protected] as this enquiry is not about convicts, or Port Jackson. Regards Alan
