NSW ER 1870  THE BOGAN
In the Dubbo Police District
William FAUX, of Murrumbidgerie, residence, Macquarie River
William FAUX, of Bens Creek, residence Talbragar River
NONE with that surname listed in the Forbes police district in that electorate.

NSW ER 1870 THE LACHLAN
In the Forbes Police district
NONE with the surname FAUX, however, there is the following listing which may be of interest.

William FAUL, of Emu Creek Gold Field, residence, Emu Creek Gold Field.

The rolls in that era were prepared by police deputised by the Police Magistrates, and they recorded the information in long hand BEFORE sending it off to the printers.  It is entirely possible, and logical, that there has been a mis-read or a mis-recording of FAUX v FAUL. 

The Forbes Police district stretched across more than one electorate

Hi Jm
could that be Beni Creek because I once found an old map that had a land grant to William Faux at Beni a place close to Dubbo.

Did you notice that in 1870 in the BOGAN electorate, there were two listings for a William FAUX, so it is actually possible that there were two chaps by that name in that district at the same time ..... To me that possibility needs to be considered and not eliminated, particularly as you seem to have your William's signature .....

NO.   I have typed Bens as that is the word displayed in the printed document.

Yes, I am well aware of Beni, on the Golden Highway,  been through there many times.  However, I type the words I read and I typed from a printed form.
