AGH, right thanks, I will proceed with that.   St Johns, MUDGEE is still there, and some of my family are regulars at that particular Anglican church.   


As an aside perhaps may I mention that Agnes and William James BAKER were enrolled to vote for the Dec 1903 elections.  This was the first time that females were eligible to enrol to vote.   It was not yet compulsory to enrol.

Are you saying she was raised by another family, not Walter SHERRY and his wife Amy?

Hi Sue
   Sherry Mayor of mudgee was a witness on Agnes May marriage and his wife Elizabeth Amy Nelthorpe 

No, Elizabeth Amy NELTHORPE was not the mayor's wife.

She was perhaps a friend as her birth year is similar to Agnes'

REG 11403 Yr 1866  NELTHORPE Elizabeth A
Parents  James & Jane L
At MUDGEE

And death
Reg 16730 yr 1939 NELTHORPE Elizabeth Amy
Parents   James & Louisa Jane
At MUDGEE

This couple had other children in Mudgee.
Sue

Walter SHERRY was not the Mayor of Mudgee when the girls were little.   I think you will find that Sherry and Nelthorpe was the tailoring business in Mudgee.
