I would also be interested to know if there is an index for Urunga cemetery.
Also, is there anyone out there that could help locate some missing family?
My great aunt Daisy Davis was born in Taree in 1895, daughter of Edward
Davis and Mary Laurie. She married William J Howard in 1920. Her brother
Ednie Manning was my grandfather and her sister Leith was my great aunt -
Leith married Peter Charleston and lived in Grafton. For some reason or
other, the family lost track of Daisy - I remember hearing when

Jennifer,
Urunga is in Bellingen Shire and I would be happy to look at Urunga Cemetery
for you. I could take a digital photograph of any headstones you may be
interested in. What names were you particularly interested in?

Hi Kay
I don't have a specific interest in Riley, the undertakers but my parents
live in Ballina and my auntie in Lismore. I'm sure, but could check with
them, that Rileys are still a firm of undertakers at North Lismore. Let me
know if I can help.
Kind regards
Martyn

When I asked for FH Centres on the list I was also given this URL in which
you can search for Museums in an area. Just type in the name of the city.
It says that 1000 museums are listed so far.

Following are lists of names of people who appeared before a Forests Inquiry
in 1907-1908 - they were contained in a book I have on loan on the history
of the Forestry Commission in NSW. In the book each person has a paragraph
summarising their evidence, it has some interesting information on their
work, location etc. If anyone has an interest in any of these people,
please email me, and I will send a transcript of their paragraph.

Dear Greg,
I don't know about the Casino-Lismore area, but I am interested in the
Woodward family of Taree. I have a step-gt-grandfather, William Henry
Woodward, born in Lechlade Gloucs, who came out here in the 1890's as a
private in the RMLI. He deserted in 1899 and was never heard from again.
His father was Henry and there was a William Woodward died at Taree in 1907
whose father was Henry. I am curious to find out if there were one and the
same person!
Have you any info on the Taree William?

Many thanks for all the answers. BUT - what I need most of all is:

My ancestors Joseph and Alice ALLEN held a licence for the Settlers
Arms corner of Lord and Brown Streets from 1855 to Joseph's death in
1858. Alice was granted the licence in 1860. This hotel was replaced by
the Courthouse Hotel later in the 1800's.
Joseph was a convict from Hertfordshire and Alice ne McNally a daughter
of a convict from Ireland. Joseph was buried in Dungog cemetery where
there still exists a readable headstone.

Hi,
I am looking for information on a John Williams who came from England in 1876. He was at that stage in the army. Apparently, when he retired from the army, he became a hotel owner in Armidale. I have always been told it was the Tattersalls Hotel. He would have been the proprietor around about the 1900's. However I know he died around that time and wondered whether the story was confused and if it was his wife Bridgette, who remarried, who helped run the hotel. Maybe it was another hotel in the Armidale
I have the transcription of the death certificate of James
MARK. It states that he was buried on 4 January 1883 in the Presbyterian
section of the Armidale cemetery.
Can anybody help me out with the transcription of the head
stone (if it exists)? A photo would be really good and I would, of course,
be happy to pay for it and postage.
The undertaker is listed as Harper Brothers. Do they still
exist and would they have records going back to then?
I also believe that his daughter, Mary A B MacKay
