I am trying to find out about my grandmother her name was Julia Anne Larkin born 1895 in Bowral nsw. I wanted to find in Bowral where she was born but not able to do that. On her birth certificate it has garden hill Bowral. The only thing I can find is a place called garden hill resort berry I wanted to find out what it was before the resort and maybe the family lived there. Her fathers name was thomas Joseph Larkin born 1863 I Berrima mother’s name Julia Ann Larkin née burrows born 1861 in it.

Some of those historic parish maps can include the exact localities, particularly when you have the property owner's name.

If you are asking about the garden hill retreat that is in the Illaroo Parish, in the County of Camden, then it cannot be the same place.
Have you researched the New South Wales freehold holdings for your LARKIN ancestors? There will be identifying details on that paoerwork that will match up to an exact location on a parish map.

Researching land titles in NSW can be a time consuming but fascinating theme in family and local history. There are threads on the NSW resources board here at RChat that I hope are useful to everyone. I had included at reply 4 a live link to the digitised historical parish maps.
