George Taber D 1885 Menangle

[petwal]

Good Evening Roots chatterers
I am seeking confirmation on the date of death of George Taber son of convict Thomas Taber. George Taber was born in Sydney in 1800 and Ancestry records state that he died in Menangle NSW in 1885. I am attempting to verify this date. There is no record of his death on the BDM index site. He is thought to have been buried in St Peter's Church of England Cemetery Campbelltown. Could somebody look this up please or tell me where I could find this information. George Taber is the brother of my Gt Gt Gt Grandfather James Taber.
Thanks Petwal

I am not sure if this is the correct way to reopen a question on this forum but here goes. George Taber  died on 22 March 1885 at Medhurst Vale House , Menangle, in New South Wales. I would like to check if this the home as Menangle House & Inn. I cannot find a picture of Medhurst which was built by George Taber as his family home & as an Inn. This now used as a restaurant. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi petwal

This webpage mentions George Taber and a passing reference of the old homestead?

Have you contacted historical societies in the area?
