For your files do you want to know where the Hillsborough Common School is? Or do you already know? November 28th 1867 top 4th column - happy to type up for you if you don't have. Paper describes exactly where it is Denise

Hi Denise, I know a few details about the whereabouts of the school - it was previously a hotel owned by Ellen Kennedy, but I do not have the detail you mention. (They must have changed their minds about the tender for a new building). I'd absolutely love the info, but only if you have time to type it up - otherwise I can look it up on my next visit to the State library. Ronda OMA November 28th 1867 top 4th column
