Hi Linda,
I'm a native of Murroe myself, but I don't think there are any Flemings left there. I checked the phone book and there are two Flemings in Cappamore (the next town over), If you would like their addresses pm me and I'll pass them on, writing to them might be worth a shot.

Linda,
 I too have ancestors from Murroe.Philip Fleming married Hannah Coghlan around 1830 and had many kids. Six sons came to Parramatta including James, Patrick, Martin, Timothy, Cornelius and Thomas.
They were tenant farmers with Sir Mathew Barringtom at Murroe and had quite a bit of country.
I can send you the family history I did afew years ago or call at Parramatta Heritage library in Church St and there are copies there.
Let me know if it rings any bells.
I have tried to find burials etc but no luck.
There are three Flemings remaining in the area including Caroline , Jamea and Seamus around Dromsallagh. I wrote to them last year but no reply as yet.
Cheers. I'm excited to hear from you.

Those were the same names that I found, I pm'd the addresses, public forum and all.

Sharon, Linda,
If you look at Griffiths 1851 valuations of land there are several ancestors in the district-
Mary, James, Michael, Philip (my direct ancestor) . Most of them farmed around Oweneybeg (Abington), Rath, Boarmanshill.
Dromsallagh is just up the road and I'm almost sure the three current locals are related.
Let me know if you find any more info.
I'm guessing some are buried around Murroe.
Flemmo.

HI Paul,

Well I think your on the right track, you have the family name Martin which is a good start, I have very little on the family back in Murroe, but have at least three children out here in Victoria.  I would be interested in what you have but I live in SA and cant get the archives you mention.

Look forward to hearing from you
