Hello Alan The 16 entries include gardener, carpenter, cooper, storekeeper, carter etc and two farmers. The Wyndhams owned Dalwood, so it rather surprises me that any employees would be called farmers. In other records, in the early days farm workers were called servants and later agricultural labourers. Was the term farmer generally used for farm workers in 1871, or does it imply some rather different status ? A Maitland Mercury report of 10.7.1866 refers to James Kimorley, Dangerfield farm, Dalwood. There is also another similar reference. However Dangerfield and Kimmorley both worked for the Wyndhams at Dalwood. Is it possible that part of Dalwood was farmed on some kind of share cropping basis after the vineyard and winery became the main agricultural enterprise of the property and the main focus of Wyndham's attention ?
