    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

    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?
