I expect that you mean Cambridge, NSW. This genealogical site may be of help http://www.ihr.com.au/ Several Worralls ?as you probably know ? can be found on the web, Having one like George from the 1820s in Australia in your family tree is not quite ennobling, but no smirch to the name, in Australia ;) http://www.travelmate.com.au/Places/Places.asp?TownName=Campbelltown_%5C_NSW A satellite city in Sydney?s south-west, Campbelltown is one of the few towns which has converted murder most foul into a festival art form. The town celebrates the Festival of Fisher?s Ghost every November, and several other institutions and local businesses have hitched their stars to the spectre of petty villain and murder victim Frederick Fisher. Fisher made one supernatural appearance - four months after his last mortal sighting on June 17, 1826. As local farmer John Farley rode by, the ghostly form of the missing man sat on the rail of a bridge, pointing to a nearby paddock. In November, 1826, Fisher?s remains were found in the paddock and, subsequently, his former neighbour George Worrall was hanged for his murder. |

Thank you, Sorry I meant Cowbridge, South Wales, Britain. My great grand-dad Samuel Worrall was Mayor in or about the late 1800's. I am trying to find some record. I haven't heard of this george but the satory is interesting, I will keep it in mind as I research William Worrall and backwards since I know nothing beyond Williams birth. Who know's a relative may well have gone to Australia some of my mothers side did, and to New Zealand but in the 1920's. |

Sorry, I went off halfcocked, jumping to Australia when I read South Wales, having lived in NSW for a couple of years. Back in the old country, they probably tried to forget someone "transported". |

The Glamorgan Record Office http://www.glamro.gov.uk/ http://www.glamro.gov.uk/contact.htm should have several records, such as the "declarations of oaths by Mayors of Cowbridge, 1894-1926" http://www.glamro.gov.uk/news8.html "The Council Chamber has ... boards listing past Mayors, Town Clerks and Honorary Freemen": http://www.cowbridge-tc.gov.uk/abtcouncil.html "Queen Victoria granted the last Royal Charter in 1886 which allowed the people of Cowbridge to elect their own Councillors and Mayor": http://www.cowbridge-tc.gov.uk/abtcouncil.html http://www.cowbridge-tc.gov.uk/contact.html |

You can depend on Fp-ga, while I was vicariously reliving times Down Under, she (?, why do I thing so?) was barking up the right tree (a southern US expression from raccoon hunting). |
