Hi Jeff,
I have recommenced organising my family history after many years and found your post on rootschat via another link. Your Mary Hannah HAMPTON (nee CULPAN) was the sister of my grandfather William Robert CULPAN. I was researching his father Joseph CULPAN but any information I have is filed away at present. Not sure about him deserting. Were you talking about military service? He wrote from Australia to the New Zealand Government asking for his service medal so I don't think he would do that if he was a deserter. I would be happy to share any research I have if it would be of use to you. You were asking about a mining lease at Newman's Gully at Hill End too. Have you found out the information about that you required? I have friends with a property in Hill End, so would be happy to ask them if they could help.
