Hello Christine I was up there a few years ago with my son, and photographed the CofE and the RC cem's at Nerriga, from memory there were a couple of TAPER and McGRATH headstones there in the RC one. Unfortunately we ran out of time and didn't get into Corang or Charleyong and I had intended going back, but still haven't as yet. I haven't been able to do it for a while, but have been collecting bits here and there to record burials in the area. Some time ago when I asked for help/info on burials in the area a lady sent me a photocopy of the headstone of Margaret McLelland [d 1873] and her grandaughter Clare A Rolfe[d 1874], though the death cert say's bur'd at Nerriga, I'm pretty sure that that headstone may also be at Corang. The computer I had then died a rather nasty death, and lost files, e-mail adresses etc all in one foul swoop, the list I had made etc on the cemeteries included, but do have the photo's and earlier work printed from the list. Also the book 'Burials in County of Argyle NSW 1856-1918" list some who died and were buried at Corang, if you would like me to look any names up for you. There is a photo [ page 226] in the following book re gold fields "Bungonia to Braidwood" by Barry McGowan from page 209 Corang Village and the Corang Deep Lead "The village and the Deep Lead mine were located on and near the main Braidwood Nerriga road north of the Corang River crossing. Of the Deep Lead little is left other than a few mullock heaps and two hut sites, for the new road alignment has been put through the middle of the site. Of the village there is little left other than the site of the Roman Catholic church and the cemetery. The stone footings for the church entrance are still visible. The cemetery measures about 32m x 25m and contains five headstones and numerous burial mounds. The headstones date from as early as 1854 in the case of Mary Taper and 1859 for Mark McGrath" Regards Marg Batemans Bay ----- Original Message ----- From: "christene hartley" <chartley@tpg.com.au> To: <AUSTRALIA-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 9:59 PM
