Thanks again for all your help. I've been busy updating all my summaries with all the new information and I've used the free trial at ancestry to view some of other peoples' trees.

I have a question about this gazette notice. I thought that it implied that John Coffey was buying this land, but the statement at the start of the start of the notice implies it is being auctioned. Does anyone know what the system was here?

At the lpi website, and at the parish maps for Uringalla, you could seek out the one with a file reference : 10195501.jp2

You could find Robert Campbell's 600 acres and look to the western side of those acres.

Here's a snip that may be helpful as it will have reference numbers for the land titles system in operation after the Robertson reforms of 1861 etc.

Yep, that's how I found the gazette notices in the first place!

So given that the 5s/acre that Mr Coffey had paid was deposit on the land, does that mean that the fact that it was sold via public auction would have been a formality to comply with the law?

Looking up the parish maps now.
