I am keen to know exactly what my GGG grandfather declared in a murder trial on 12 Jan 1792

Indigenous Colonial Court Cases 1788-1838.

I have accessed a very brief summary but would like to get more insight into the proceedings. It is a long shot but please get in touch if you are and would be willing to help out.

Hi Simon

I’m up that way this Thursday and could pop in if you wish?

If I recall, it’s best to book items in advance so they can be waiting when I arrive.  Message me the details and we can tee-up the details.

Cheers

Peter

That would be great Peter.

I may be making a move to Sydney in the future but this is good for now. I will private message you with more details after I make arrangements with the centre. Obviously, they are closed today, so I will give it a whirl tomorrow.
A big thank you to Peter Jones...

I got the document. Now the challenge is deciphering the 18th century handwriting.
No worries Simon.  

I had a very productive day up there otherwise, and I wasn't sure that I would.  

I found two excellent primary source documents that I didn't even know existed and also viewed and photographed another that was in far better condition than the microfilmed version I had previously looked at at the NSW State Library.  

NSW Archives and Records really is an amazing place and provides a fabulous service.

Cheers
