Hi
For a property, will it have the same reference in every valuation roll. For instance if I find my house in 240, number 5. Will it be on the same reference in each volume? or does it change if the village gets bigger etc?

Mine went up by 10 every 10 years.
On the 1905 valuation rolls the last 2 reference numbers went up by 10 from the 1895 reference number. Then up another 10 from 1905 reference number in 1915.

There is a probate packet for Ernest Ambrose GOOD at NSW archives which I could photograph for you next time I am there if you wish https://www.records.nsw.gov.au/item/845043

Thank you very much Ros for your kind offer. I paid someone a few years ago to copy the probate packet for me.  Alas I wish I came on here sooner 
Thanks for your offer and the time you were willing to give.

Yes that is him. A well known incident happen with him a year earlier with a razor gang member.
He got off but he was paid to shut up his business.
That starts  my blackout of what happened to him after 1937.

In 1947 the proprietors were ‘Wicks’:

Thanks Jamjar I think it would be early 1940's. He was in Newtown 1945 running another Wine bar.
I have an enlistment for his Son Reginald enlisting in the Australian Army at Gunnedah 1943 and a identity card for his Daughter at the Park View in 1942.
I have his other Hotel's from the Trove and the Sands directory but the Sands runs out 1933. I just wondered how to fill the 1940's and 1950's.

Catherine Young Sinclair (daughter of my Great Aunt Christina and her husband John SInclair) married Robert Niven born 1890 in Dundee - she was my Great Grandfathers niece. She inherited all of her aunt's belongings in 1947 - including possibly all the photos of my Great great Grandfathers family - none of which we have... would be good to try and track it down and share! The current owners of the family house in Dunkeld would also be keen to see them.

Hello Bee
Catherine Y Sinclair was my great aunt.I know little about of her. I know she married in Dundee and possibly died in St Andrews in the 1970's. My Grandfather emigrated to Australia and after he died  we lost all contact with her.
Her Mother Christina Thomson Sinclair was my Great Grand Mother. Her parents were James Thomson & Jane Mcgregor.
For some reason she lived with her Uncle Donald Thomson and his wife Christina McGregor aged 5 onwards in Little Dunkeld Scotland.
Where do you fit in ? I have done a little on the Thomson tree.
Sorry to say I don't have any Thomson photos either.

Regards
Scot
