Catherine Critchley

Circa 1871, at around 1872, the licence for the Hargraves Hotel was purchased by James Dagger and moved to the other side of Mudgee Road and 300 metres further north. 

A guess at the identity of the people from left to right:
unknown, unknown, Catherine Palmer (nee Critchley), George Hurley (one of Catherine's sons and licencee of the hotel), Sarah Ann Palmer, Eliza Jane Palmer, Frederick John Money Palmer


Thanks. Currency Lad had a different address and was sold by then. Also the fence at the front fits in with Cath's application to build fence. Great-aunt Palmer said there had been a family split. They had found gold, invested in the pubs. When Cath died, Fred and Archer went as boarders to Newington College under the guardianship of John Hurley. The family fortune was lost in one of the many Hurley bankruptcies. Archer left Newington and went back to the goldfields and Fred, my g-g, joined the PMG. Saw the pano, thanks. John Hurley was living in Sydney at that stage, but George and William were miners at Hill End. Archer was in Sydney but that child could have been Fred as you suggest. Robyn.
