It would be good to get some more specific info on Mount Edney Farm in Wagga Wagga, and to create a special page on this.
Dear Paul
Thanks for the invite to the list, re houses, I remember my father Robert Price (Son of Isabella Rose Edney) mentioning growing up in either the Pearce? or Peters Street house Address in Wagga township.
Be interesting to see if anyone knew who resided there during it's time.

G'day Edney cousins,
Thank you, Paul, for setting up this website. I hope to add bits and pieces over the coming months - and years - for that matter.
It would be nice if there was some sort of coherent area where we could list "Projects", a "Wishlist" or a "To do list", such as the abovementioned whereabouts of the Mt Edney farm, and any other research brickwalls. I can think of a dozen right now.
I'm descended from Barbara Robertson Edney and husband John Buchanan. Have been researching the Edneys on and off for the last ten years. It's good to see newer researchers coming along and older ones re-enthused as there's still plenty much to do despite this family being relatively well documented. Hope to hear the stories of fellow descendants joining this website.
Also, 2009 will mark 150 years since the arrival of the Edneys on the 'Caribou', and 175 since the arrival of Robertson on the 'Henry Tanner'. This website lays a good foundation towards organising a descendant reunion in Wagga Wagga in a years time.

This year marks both the 150th anniversary of the arrival of JB Edney and family; and the 175th of the arrival of Robertson Edney. Someone please organise a reunion for Wagga Wagga! Doesn't have to be anything fancy. I am too busy organising one for a convict on my mum's side. But I'm willing to assist someone who wishes to take the reins. Perhaps consider a long weekend for people to get to WW from wherever they are - maybe Labor Day in October?
- Send invites
- Book room/hall
- Print out a chart of descendants, copy a couple of photos, convict documents, Reminiscences etc.
- BYO food & drink
- That's it basically
The following note appears under Life in Scotland. (It was while working as a sawyer in 1820 that Robertson met Elizabeth Webster,)
I am interested in finding the person who entered this information and the source.

At last I have retired and have more time for family tree. I am trying to collect material for publishing a tree for each of the grandchildren of Ellen Frazer. So that was be Elizabeth Morgan, the daughter of Margaret Elizabeth (Murphy) and Richard Morgan. I would like to post parts here so people can give me feedback. Not sure how to do that. Any advice?
