                                                         Adelong is a small town of about 800 inhabitants, situated on the
Adelong Creek, about twenty-two miles south from Gundagai, in a mining district, rugged, rocky, and picturesque. Mining is carried on extensively, and agriculture to a very small degree, in the limited patches of soil suitable for that purpose, is found to be remunerative.  1888.

  1. No, my g/g/grandfather was William Sturdy JONES and his registered number 1237 or similar. When he was dismissed it was mentioned a number of times in the Adelong and surrounding papers but there was no mention of why? 2 Officers from Tumut were also dismissed at the same time for playing billiards during on election day instead of patrolling the streets? Many thanks Mick

  2. Good afternoon. Having come by your site I was hoping you may have a mention of my g/g/grandfather William JONES who was a police constable in Adelong when he was dismissed from the Police Force in November, 1887. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Regards Mick MILLER
