Hi there,

NSW ER 1870 MUDGEE
James NELTHORPE, householder, Market Street, MUDGEE

NSW ER 1878 MUDGEE
James NELTHORPE, freehold, Church Street, MUDGEE.


NSW ER 1903 ROBERTSON, polling at Mudgee
NELTHORPE, all of Church St
James,   Tailor
Jane Louise, domestic duties
Minnie, domestic duties
Sarah Rose Harriet, domestic duties
Walter James, Church St, Tailor

From NSW BDM seems Jane Louise was married to James, and Walter James was married to Sarah Rose Harriet.   So Elizabeth Amy, born 1866 was daughter of James and Jane Louise, so I agree with Sue’s comment.

Cheers,  JM

Am I allowed to email you photos?

I have had a very close look at those photos on Ancestry.   I think you need to get to the originals of those photos before sharing them further.   The one with Agnes aged 7, if that is definitely Agnes, then even her arms are a pale and fair complexion.   Don't forget that sepia photos always tend to give the person a darker complexion than they actually had in real life. 

Cheers,  JM

Here's a link to many pages about the Mudgee district.   

Have you or your cousin researched Walter SHERRY and his family?  Earlier I posted info about a brother for him,  George SHERRY.   There's a  George SHERRY who was in the Mudgee area in 1870 as he is on the electoral roll there, but not there in 1878.

May I suggest that you go back over this thread any check for each of the questions each one of us has asked you, and make sure you have answered these questions, even just to say "not sure"

I have phoned one of my Mudgee rellies, but it seems they are away for a week or so.  I may need to ask you to send an email enquiry to the Reverend at St Johns.   If so, I will let you know.

Cheers,  JM

Yes,  I fully understand that Agnes' mother was born in Ireland, and that you have been led to believe that Agnes' father was an Aborigine.     There are many instances where people in the early to mid 20th Century were ashamed of any Aboriginal heritage in their forebears.  Nowadays it is hard to understand how why this occurred.  HOWEVER, there are also many instances where people knew that their forebears paperwork showed them as "Native Born" and from those two words those people concluded there was an Aboriginal heritage.   The expression "Native Born" simply meant the person was born in Australia, regardless of where their parents were born.   My Grandfather's enlistment papers for the First World War show him as "Native Born".  So too his brothers, and his cousins who also enlisted.  None of them have an Aboriginal heritage.   

I was born and raised in the central west region of NSW, and as my family settled in the western district of NSW in the early to mid 19th Century,  and as I have family who have lived in the Mudgee region for several generations, I do have some practical understanding of how to help with research into 19th century NSW records, and I will try to help you.  But it may well be that the boundary rider you are looking for, is simply a NSW born lad, of parents who had 'overseas' origins.

 http://www.aiatsis.gov.au/collections/exhibitions/mudgee/about.html   This link is also within the link I gave earlier.  http://www.mudgeemuseum.com/?i=479/the-wiradjuri   Perhaps you could contact the website to see if they have any knowledge about the two girls, their parentage, and where they were raised prior to their marriages at Gulgong and Mudgee.   Perhaps you could contact the lass who researched her ancestor, Dianna MUDGEE as written about in that link.

Cheers,  JM
