>> Hi Jan

>> I cannot think of anywhere in Sydney known as St Vincent's, other than

>> The Catholic Church owned a tract of land stretching from Oxford St,

>> This area was much larger than that taken up by the hospital alone, at

>> My understanding is that the terrace houses they purchased were intended

>> The only thing is that the 1830's seems a bit early for all this to have

>> late
>> 1800's.
>> Was Maria a nurse? There might be a clue in that French name??

>> Hello all
