I am hoping someone with knowledge of the Carramar area (SW Sydney) is able to assist.  I would like to know the names of possible high schools that a teenage boy from Carramar was likely to have attended during years 1950 to 1956.

I guess Liverpool is one possibility but wonder if there were others that I should search.

Thank you for any suggestions

I have looked up the official definition of 'kinsman', etc. but am keen to learn about practical (real) relationships that others may have come across.

The term is used in a number of family wills and is distinct from the mention of 'sister', 'brother', 'cousin', 'nephew', 'uncle' etc.

Have you come across this term yourself and, based on your research, have you been able to identify how the 'kinsman' was related? (eg, was he a half-brother or similar?)

Thanks

Is it possible to have access to / view an individual's NSW criminal record for period 1945 to 1970?

He was convicted and was imprisoned on more than one occasion, both as a juvenile and as an adult.  It is 40 years since his death; I have a copy of his death certificate as proof.  (Also have copy of his birth certificate.)

Given that convictions can be, and are, reported in the media, I am wondering whether court records are available, and what details would be given.

Ideally I'd like to view his entire 'record', ie those where he received a non-custodial sentence as well as imprisonment, but anything would be a start.

Where / who do you suggest I apply to for access.

Thanks heaps

An Inventory of Goods & Chattels, dated mid 1600s, lists what seems to be "One Corn whitche, furnace one ...." in the kitchen.

What would have been (or what is) a corn whitche (or witch)?

I have found reference to an old occupation called a "Whitcher", which was supposed to describe a "maker of chests".  As such I wonder whether the corn whitch was a bin to store grain, but this is just a wild guess on my part.

I would love to learn more about this 'thing'.

Thanks

Please see attached snapshot of a register dated 1830s.  I am interested in the names of the couple who are listed on the 4th row.  What is Elizabeth's surname?  Is Mr Moore's first name Daniel, David, Dennis or something else?

Help in deciphering these names will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
