Australia / Re: Death NSW - James FLOOD
« on: Wednesday 09 June 10 01:31 BST (UK)  »
Wondering if you know where 'Flood's Mount' is. Carcoar is within the parish of Errol. The 1884 parish map (attached) shows a large property belowing to Edward Flood. This section of the Belubala River is now Carcoar Dam. However Flood's Mount would still exist, on the south eastern side of the dam wall.

In Sept 1863 three members of the Ben Hall gang bailed up travellers on the main road near Blayney. The gang members would later stick up three young men on Flood's Mount.

I'd be keen to find the exact location of this place. Maybe some old time locals are aware of Flood's Mount. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I'm researching the bushranger John Vane who rode with the Ben Hall gang in 1863. The gang haunted districts around Carcoar during this period.

Parish maps show someone named Flood had a couple of blocks around Carcoar.

In this article there is a reference made to 'Flood's Mount'. The gang had recently held up a mail coach near Blayney and so it would most likely be around Blayney or Carcoar.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Hi Jo,

I live a stones throw from Lyndhurst. If you have no luck finding the transcription I'll toddle over and have a look.

Cheers,

Craig

Hi Jenn,

No - I'm not related to any police from that period, that I'm aware of anyway. But I've made great contacts from descendants of some of the police in the story that I'm researching - mainly Bathurst - Goulburn. Police such as Morisset & Grainger and other 'characters' in the story.

Are you searching for police?

Cheers,

Craig

Thanks JM,

I live at Newbridge, about 10 km north of Neville. I'm doing some research into the life of the bushranger John Vane.

Will make contact after my next post.

Ta,

Craig

Hi Joanna,

I grew up in that general area, and from my recollections, the Cowra Road was the old name for what is now the Mid Western Highway from Bathurst to Cowra.   I have access to the 1870 and 1878 electoral roll for the district, so can I help you further?  I'm a descendant of the Marsh and Marshall families from that district.

Cheers,  JM

Hi JM,

Are you related to George Marsh from Mount Macquarie (now Neville) who was bailed up by the Ben Hall gang 22 Sep 1863? If you are I'd love to hear from you. Actually, I'd love to hear from you anyay - sounds like you know a bit about the area. You can contact me via this email
