----- Forwarded Message ---- From: BETTY TELFORD To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 12 October, 2010 1:33:49 Subject: Australian research http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hcastle/ I found some gems amongst the links on here including Kathy Pearson's listing of Greville's 1872 Directory entries which is amazingly comprehensive (it also reassured me that my memory is at least partially intact, as I found several entries for emigrants living in Dochra near Singleton, NSW, one a squatter recorded in a cemetery burial) . Plenty of lists of surnames and places where they lived. Amongst fascinating bits of reading that came up were some old Australian Newspapers and reports of the fine barque "Dochra" arriving from Liverpool in the 1880s. Nothing helpful found re Duchra as I came in late to pick up the thread but something above may help someone. Betty
