Agree with Julie - the marriage cert will give you the info, also her death cert should give you a lot of info such as where born, parents names, previous marriages, etc. You can get a transcription of the certs for about half the price of an official cert from: www.joymurrin.com.au/

cheers,
Richard

Thanks for all that information I am grateful thanks for the site for certificates I will look into that. Sheila

Sheila, you have 'nudge' this, but what are you actually looking for now ?

You are going to have to buy certificates to get any extra info.

sorry aboutth message ur car was hit when we were shopping so I was not in a good mood, also keyboard playing up just thought somebdy else might see it in that area and know something more sorry

Shelia,
don't worry about the message, everyone has an 'off' day and having your car damaged is certainly reason enough.
I hope that you weren't hurt.

Just click on 'delete' (bottom right corner), and its gone, never to be seen again !

I 'googled' your heading and got back several site, one of which had the following...( the village being Binalong)

Kuriong Sheep Station
1 km from the village is Kuriong Sheep Station which offers coach groups a chance to see shearing, working sheep dogs, whipcracking, drenching, branding, spinning, antiquated machinery and other processes,. Hand-knitted jumpers and handicrafts are for sale and morning teas, afternoon teas and lunches can be arranged. For details ring (02) 6227 4222. The station is only open for group bookings.

Have just re-read your opening message, so you have probably found this yourself.
