The man on the left here is my father Arthur Charles Bernard Smith who was DLE (District Locomotive Engineer) at Dubbo NSW in 1954. (He had previously been DLE at Nyngan in 1952) I was a schoolchild in Dubbo at this time and remember seeing the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh as they drove around the oval in the football grounds. I later told my father that the Queen had "a pretty pink and white face". Kathleen McGregor (nee Smith)

Did Mrs Elizabeth Mary Adams nee Slack own this?

Mrs Adams ran a Post Office Hotel in Mudgee in 1927, do you have anything on this hotel? I wish to know more as it may be where my grandparents met. My mother was adopted by Mr Montford and Mary Elizabeth Adams in 1929. Mary Adams was born in Newcastle and Mr Adams died 1935 in Randwick where my mother grew up with the Adams.

Eunice Curran We hold this record series which might be of interest: NRS 9522, Card index to publicans licences, c.1920-37. The cards show - for each hotel - brief information including electorate, licensing district, sign (name), situation, licensing history, name of licensee and information such as orders and repairs concerning compliance with the licensing laws. Our information leaflet Archives In Brief 61 - Publicans' licenses would be a good starting point for you to find more information and includes a link to the above record series.
