I haven't really got around to searching Trove's digitised newspapers for family names, because the occasional time I have, I haven't found anything interesting. I guess I was just looking for the wrong names.

So I'm sharing a few mention of one great-grandmother (maternal grandmother's grandmother, although not quite the "female line"). Done in chronological order so that puts the more interesting ones towards the end. All from the Examiner.



Before the Warden and J. G. Johnson, J.P. Emily Eeles, licensee of the Nile Hotel, Lymington, was charged with having allowed Robert Boyd (against whom there was a prohibition order) to loiter in her house. Defendant pleaded not guilty. After hearing the evidence of the Superintendent of Police, Constable Copplestone, and the defendant, the bench dismissed the case, as it was not shown that Boyd was there for the purpose of obtaining liquor, but was waiting for his breakfast. 17 January 1895

We've been here before but I wanted to find the Nile River. It's just south of the village a bit.

Here in fact.

That's on the bridge, looking back towards the village. Although there was some more buildings in there, back off the road just enough that they don't show. I'll get to them. River first.

Going back to Nile to look at a few things, before moving onto Richmond.

The first being the old hotel.

Arriving in Evandale, most people turn off to the left, but if you kept going along High St, past St Andrews church and St Andrews church, past the street with the shops, and past the other pub, you'll find yourself heading out of the town.
