May 21, 2020 by lostadmin 3 Comments

A big thanks to Terry Sullivan for this great photo of his great grandmother, Rebecca Downing.

Rebecca was licensee of Tumut’s Star Hotel in 1866 and 1867, and then again from 1902 until her death in 1920.

    Hi,
    I am a descendant of John Downing, Robert Downing’s brother. I would like to be in contact with relatives for family history.
