Was there ever a NEWTOWN or NEW TOWN in the Hunter Valley/Maitland area....?
I wonder if anyone can help me with this mystery....?
I have 2 people who are said to have been born Newtown (c1853 and c1855) (entries I can't find of course) but there are indications that they may have been born Maitland.
I had been presuming that Newtown meant Sydney - but perhaps not....!
There is also a NSW BDM index entry that is listed under both NEWTOWN and MAITLAND......
A fellow researcher suggested that maybe -,just maybe, there had been an area called Newtown in the Maitland area......
Is it possible (could I be so lucky?) that someone may have further information on this place name....?
Fingers crossed.....
