There were many mining families from Cornwall that settled in Kurri Kurri / Cessnock areas and became coal miners in the late 1800's and early 1900's. I'm happy to photograph places and cemeteries that relate to your family migrant history.

Janet - sorry I took so long. I've been away.
My daughter asks (as we are going this together) if you could find any newspaper reports on death of Minnie Dunlop 26 April 1933. The Dunlops, Harveys & Smiths of Kurri Kurri are all related.
One daughter did died in 1914 - a Veronica May Dunlop (not sure if her name was Dunlop or Dunlop Smith.

Hi
I haven't any access to Kurri as far as newspapers go, sorry. I can offer photos of a known grave at Kurri. Your best bet would be the obits in the Sydney Morning Herald -old copies available at the Mitchell Library I think. Other than that perhaps the Newcastle Morning Herald- but I don't know where old copies are kept- maybe Newcastle Library?? I did a check of Aussie BMD but no entries for the names you mention. J

Thanks J ..... Will do as you suggested. I presume your friend did not know of the Dunlop family in that area - or the Harveys?
