NASH'S Flat, (near Mudgee) NSW

[jeffreyjoecarroll]

A 'Nash's Flat' appears in my family history but I am unable to locate it on any maps of NSW. It is/was located in the Mudgee district.

Anyone know where it is/was?

Hi Jeff,
I can't remember  that up around Mudgee way the place called  Nash Flat, Who long ago was that to be Jeff.

It's was the 1850's - 1870's. Moses & Celia [nee OLIVER] LAW came out from England in the mid 50's with their daughter and her family. They settled at Nash's Flat where Moses farmed. Moses died in Mudgee in 1876 and was buried in the local CofE cemetery.

I see it mentioned in other family histories when I google it.

Regards,
Jeff

Its odd that it does not show up on the google maps.  the odd queensland names do, still after all these years ;-) maybe thats because queenslanders love their history....

Or is it that NSW has been known to kick out the old and put in the new?

I have faith that someone on Rootschat will know........that's why I came here, it's rare for a mystery not to be resolved in some way!!

Hi there,

NSW Lands Dept old parish maps are online,

http://www.lands.nsw.gov.au/survey_maps/maps_and_imagery/parish_maps  ... its not as user friendly as it could be, but perhaps zoom in/out and pan through several of the Mudgee maps perhaps that may help.  Often those old maps have occupant details, not just boundary and acreage info.  Also, the date displayed against each map is often the date the lands office "de-commissioned" the map, as opposed to the date the draftsman first drew the map...    there's old maps on that site for just about all of NSW, and many of the township maps were originally drawn in 19thC at good scales for checking...  municipal rates etc.

Also NSW Geographical Board may have answers to Nash Flat question ...

Cheers,

JM

Not much help, but only one find in old newspapers - Sydney Morning Herald 1862 Land Sales;

"Suburban Lots - County of Wellington, Parish of Mudgee. 7 acres at Nashs Flat, near Mudgee, adjoining south boundary of Oliver's portions."

Heading of "Suburban Lots" is a bit strange.............
