Hi Jill At the end of Hill St there is a Mill Lane. This may be an indication of where the mill was. I went to the Kapunda Museum recently and the people I spoke to had moved to Kapunda in recent years. They had no information on the family I was researching, I'm thinking of printing up the photo I have and the obituary of the lady who spent many years in the town. At various times her sons were publicans, operated stables and one was the taxi proprietor.

I think it's great when "new" people move into a country town and then get involved with some form or another of a community group/event. And I am sure that the people at the KAPUNDA MUSEUM would all be volunteers.. doing the best that they possibly can to help visitors to their beloved township. But there again, I didn't realise that the Volunteers at this Museum also did research for any one who needed information for their Family Tree's, I understand the skills required in Family History Research and also (from experience) know the disappointment after sending letters/emails or travelling many kms, to come up against a big black zero.. Some of my Ancestors have left their foot-prints within a local community... but the majority of them certainly did not. I am sure the Kapunda Museum would appreciate a copy of the photograph and the obituary of the lady in question... One never knows who else may have an interest in this family in the future. And I firmly believe in sharing information, as long as the "source" is quoted.

Hi Chris They don't do research, but the last place I lived if you asked a question about a family who'd been there for a couple of generations and ran a business you could find out quite a bit about them. The town where I grew up (and where I've just returned) I've learned a lot about the early days and the early settlers. In regard to my family, I thought the fact that one operated a taxi service in the early days of motorcars would have been of interest. The same man was heavily involved in racing, trotting and coursing and was an SP bookie. I'm not knocking the volunteers, they do a fantastic job. I just hoped they would have something on this family. Maybe I'm just used to living in places where everyone knows everyone elses' business.
