Thank you Peter.  I am looking for any history of NUL around 1830's, in particular the Mayer family, one of which, I beleive, was the mayor of the town around that time.

Thank you for that Peter, thats very interesting.  It's interesting about the vets in Pepper St as Samuel's wife was named Mary Pepper before marriage.  I am at work now so I will look at the website this weekend.  Thank you for the info again.  I hope to speak soon.
