  2. Hi Terry
    My great grandmother Margaret Blundell owned the Commercial Hotel in Jerry’s Plains with her licensee husband Albert Blundell. I have some research you may like on the timeline of the transfer of the license and a splendid postcard photograph of the hotel (c 1920-1923).

  8. My G-g-g grandparents were Elizabeth Demeur (nee Smith [then Dark then Demeur]) and Theodore Demeur married 27 years who had 7 children & lived on New Freugh about 1870 -1880. June @ Singleton Museum & Historic Society has photos and Info about New Freugh. We visited New Freugh Lane a fortnight ago and ruins of house visible on Satellite/Google

  9. Hi,
    I am hoping someone can help me with some information and/or photographs. of some of my relatives. Their names are James Smith and Eliza Smith, they worked on the farm “New Freugh” near Singleton in 1859 when it was owned by J.S.C. McDougall .

    James worked as a shepherd. He and Eliza had 9 children. Two were born on “New Freugh”, one in 1859, the other in 1860. Someone would remember this, surely, its a worthy event if they were there. All the other children were around the same age .

    I would appreciate any help, or information on this family you have. Thankyou
