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
I was born in Cowra but left when very young, I am descended from the Pullin, Day and Mackie families from Carcoar and Cowra. If you can find any of these names in the electoral roll it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Joanna

Thought I  might throw a red herring in here  or not!!!

Could Rising Sun  also be the name of a property in  the area?

You  could hope for an obituary from  the local newspaper to give you a bit more?

Hello  there craigresides  and welcome to rootschat
I see you are interested in Busharanges and NSW Police... can I  ask if you are also related to any police from  that period?

Jenn's spot on about the possibility of a property being named Rising Sun.   I can't help further on the electoral rolls, the addresses I have cited are the full addresses from those early rolls. 

There's a very active family history group based in Bathurst, and of course they have holdings from other FHS too.  Perhaps it would be worthwhile for Joanna to make enquiries there, as well as at Cowra.

I seem to have mis-placed my link for Cowra, but Bathurst is http://bathurstfhg.asn.au/index.shtml

Cheers,  JM

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,
