NASH'S Flat, (near Mudgee) NSW

[Les de B]

Just found another 2 Land Sales for Nash's Flat near Mudgee in SMH 1858 and 1860. Nothing to indicate exactly where it was except "near Mudgee".

Thanks for your assistance so far everybody.

Oh those maps JM!!!! My poor eyes are already out of focus. They really need a scrolling, then enlargement feature - would be much easier to navigate through the maps. The facility & the intent are good though.

I'll keep trying the maps, but have emailed the GNB in hopes they can assist.

Best,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Err.... that's why I didn't go looking for you  but try adjusting the 25% and the size options in the dialogue box and then click on say any of the corners in the absence of that scroll option...  also sometimes start with the smallest % and click the middle of the map as it seems to automatically centre around that selected spot...  But I do agree, its not the user friendly facility that I would expect...   

Les' clue re "Oliver's portion" may help too...  Mudgee was huge township in that era, and petitioned for its own municipal status.  I'll try to find info about the signatures on the petitions. 

Back shortly, and will modify this post with results.

Edit  to add  In 1859, Edw OLIVER of Short St Mudgee signed petition supporting the creation of the Municipality (NSW Gaz Fri 19 Aug 1859,  page 1852)   if that's same Oliver, then perhaps Nash's Flat would be not far off to north of Mudgee perhaps around the FLAT area near the current cemetery, just over the bridge near the Cudgegong River ..  (thinking of you on the parish maps site) ...  Err... I did NOT find any NASH  as a signatory to that petition (nor any other names that I recognised  )

Cheers,  JM

Have found another way around the maps using the PIXEL viewer - much easier!! You can section off small portions, enlarge them and scroll at will. I have a few names that come up in google as well as Les's hint of Olivers Portion. Fingers crossed.

Just a quick update to say that I have come across a W. Nash as purchaser (still to confirm a date of purchase) of several portions listed as N.E. - (not sure if this is where the current cemetery is though JM). I'm still trying to locate those portion numbers 138A & 139A on the map - shall update when I've nailed them. There are a few Nash's listed on BDM's in the Mudgee region for the time, no W. Nash though. Thanks again to everyone for their interest & assistance.

Best,
Jeff

Mudgee Cemetery

There's one on the main road out of Mudgee NORTH (or NNE ISH) on Ulan-Cassillis Road ... just on the right past Mount Pleasant lane (coming out of Mudgee that is) before the Aerodrome.   Ulan Road intersects with Short St in Mudgee, on the township side of the river...

I'll try again to find NASH on my Mudgee records

Cheers,  JM

NASH on 1870 Mudgee Roll !

back shortly

EDIT 1
Nash, David residence at Mullamuddy
Nash, Martin, freehold at Redbank

Edit 2 LAW
Law, Moses, household, Market Square (which I think is in town, near Short St, but perhaps google map would know)

Edit 3 OLIVER   This is interesting, as I am sure that the address is off the Ulan Road, near one of the Stein wineries where they make "Serendipty" even today 

Oliver, Thomas, residence Grattai
OLIVER, WILLIAM, FREEHOLD AT PIPECLAY, could be (from memory about 6 miles out of Mudgee, and of course north east of the bridge near Short St in town. 

Cheers,  JM

Hi there,

I just googled "Nash's Flat" and read

".......Clara Ward was born Clara Blackert at Nash's Flat near Mudgee in 1883.........."   

So, I've checked the 1903 roll for the seat of Robertson, polling place Mudgee, and there she is listed,

Clara Blackert, F, Nash's Flat dom duties,

Her birth is registered and indexed for district of Mudgee 23784/1883 showing parents as John Henry and Louisa G . 

So that means that as early as 1860's and at least forward to 1903, there was a locality known as Nash's Flat  but exactly where it was/is ... we don't know yet...

I'll have a look at random pages from early rolls to see if other surnames show up against "Nash's Flat"    (starting with the 1870 roll)

Cheers,  JM.
