McWilliam: Name Electoral District Years Qualification Residence Fiche No McWILLIAM J. R. Port Curtis 1866-67 Freeholder Rockhampton 10 McWILLIAM J. R. Rockhampton 1866-67 Freeholder Rockhampton 11 McWILLIAM J. R. Rockhampton 1867-68 Freeholder Rockhampton 14 Just out of interest the other names William MUNRO, D.L.MULLIGAN, D.T. MULLIGAN, James STEWART, D.H. MAITLAND and a Thomas McDonald PATERSON all appear on the same roll in Rockhampton in the same years. Cheers Mary-Ellen

Hi Jill, Im guessing this - but considering the purpose - I wouldnt be at all surprised if the James STEWART from Rockhampton was the businessman whose premises remain on the corner of East & Denham Sts Rockhampton to this day. Stewarts is an historic department store there.

Hello Mary-Ellen, >>snip I wonder if any of these names ring a bell, they are signatories to an application by my g/g.father, John Richardson McWilliam, to be admitted to the Bar, signed at Gympie in 1870. It's a letter to the Board of Examiners of the Supreme court of Qld. The names are :- Wm. MUNRO; D.MULLIGAN; ?james STEWART; D. MAITLAND; and O. Macdonald PATERSON.<<<<< Thank you for those records, I did have one of the Electoral roll records only. That's very interesting re those names turning up in Rockhampton, John must have known them there, I thought he had met them in Gympie, as that's where the letter was written?? You just never know!! I've just had a look at my "Early History of Rockhampton" by J.S.Bird, and all those above names are mentioned except for Paterson. They were all businessmen of note. That's great to know, saves me time searching in Gympie for them, just have to find out what John Richardson MCWILLIAM was doing there in Gympie in 1870, and where he resided. He never did become a Barrister. Thank you Mary-Ellen, Cheers, Jill
