Dubbo and District Family History Society Inc has one of the largest collection of genealogical and historical resources outside of Sydney. This collection is at the Western Plains Cultural Centre. Their website for more information can be found here.
The link for the above does not appear to be working. Could you please advise if they have a current website.
Thankyou
Unfortunately the website for the Society is currently down. It will be back up shortly.
Dear whomever,
I was wondering what the operating hours are for the Dubbo & District Family History Society Inc. I am looking up coming up from Melbourne in April and would like to access some information on my grandfathers parents, in particular his mother Ivy Heydon, who died in Dubbo in the early 1920′s – if there is any information available. I recall that you weren’t open on Tuesdays? Could you please confirm times and days of operation.
Thanks and regards,
Pauline

My grandfather was Charles Smith and my grandmother Elizabeth Carroll her father was James Patrick Carroll of Dubbo. I lived in Gosford and the Carrolls there where my father’s cousins they owned The Carroll Inn a cake/bakery shop I have been researching my fathers family and bingo! I think your grandfather was my grandmother’s brother but I’m not sure, all the Smith family are dead now, so sad, there was a Carroll in Gosford who was a dentist also, I think he was a Carroll I was only 16 or 17 at the time
My G.Grandfather’s name was Patrick James Carroll he married Margaret Kent in 1884 he died in Sydney in 1922 aged 74. Margaret died at Clydebank Hospital in 1924 aged 69. They had 9 children 6 boys and 3 girls. A Patrick was born in 1888 my grandmother Elizabeth was born in 1885.

She remembers the boys well, and what they did great to speak with her,she is in her eighties of course I’m 70 so time does fly. hoping to hear from you…….. Pat
I am hoping to find information on Lilian Finch (nee Cauchi) wife of Neville Finch (married in 1950). Lilian’s mother is my Great Aunt. Any information would be greatly appreciated and any rellies welcomed.
Sorry the Historical site is not working. I’m trying to find anything about my ancestor Charles Rademy who was from Dalmatia and lived in Dubbo in the 1870′s or about. How do I access your records?
My great grandmother registered her 3rd child’s birth, following shortly after her husband’s death, at Pine Ridge, Denison Town. Her name was Elizabeth Manning, nee Donoghue. I wonder where this is in relation to the town of Dubbo, and whether her parents in law , Thomas and Margaret Manning [we think he was a blacksmith] were settled there. The years of 1882-1892 are relevant.
Would the historical society have records to help?
Looking for information on my great-great-grandmother, Charlotte McMunn and her parents John and Priscilla McMunn.
I’m one of the Astill clan. Looking for information on great grandmother Annie nee Hudson born 1858, married Alfred Astill 1876 Narromine. Supposedly still around Dubbo area 1935/36. BDM records not helpful. Alfred and Annie separated but no idea whether there was divorce/remarriage.
Re: Lorraine Lang message, 31 July.
My wife Carol’s gr/grandmother was Rose Hannah McMunn, father John and mother Priscilla Hart. Rose married William Henry Whitton and is buried at Ballimore, Lonely Graves. Sounds like the same family.
We have nothing on them at present and are trying to find out more about where this family came from.

I have been trying to find information regarding the Greentree family but am not having much success finding a way to contact the Historical Society. My Grandmother was Gertrude Elsie Greentree (1891-1954) Gertie was born in Dubbo. I have also been trying to find information about her father Albert. Albert was born in the Lower Hawkesbury in 1856 and died in Dubbo in 1910. Is there some way I can access information on line as I am living in Hervey Bay Queensland.
To Scott McMunn
Have just found your reply of Dec 15 2010, re my enquiry on the McMunn family. Would love to make contact so we can exchange info. We have info on the Whitton family and their descent from convict William Witten.
