The index covers requests from individuals for land - leases and purchases - received by the Colonial Secretary's office between 1826 and 1856. These letters were separated out of the main series of incoming correspondence. They can be very important because the applicant often provides background information about themselves that is not available in any other source. Microfilm copies of the Letters received by the Colonial Secretary re Land, 1826-56 are available in both reading rooms. > > The reference above is the search returns item and reel numbers > > If you go here http://www.lands.nsw.gov.au/MapsAndPhotos/default.htm > > you can then search the parish maps to see his land. > > Kerry > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Wendy > To: [email protected] > Sent: Saturday, October 08, 2005 5:21 PM > Subject: Re: [HC] Unassisted Immigrants 1842-55 - Sydney > > > Kerry, > > Thanks.
