ALL PERSONS LIVING
IN THE PENRITH DISTRICT, NSW
IN 1828

One of the original districts of the Country of Cumberland, NSW bounded on the South side by the BRINGELLY district...on the East side by the SOUTH CREEK to the RICHMOND ROAD...thence by that road to the CHAIN OF PONDS at LARRA'S FARM...and by the RICHMOND COMMON LINE to MATTHEW'S FARM opposite the GROSE RIVER, and on the West side by the NEPEAN RIVER. |

In 1848, the
Penrith Police District was roughly the same size as the original district of
Evan - it contained 4,120 people and had 728 houses.
EMU, now known
as EMU PLAINS, and CASTLEREAGH, had been proclaimed as towns but beyond having
a few Inns, had failed to develop. Penrith only really began to develop after
the discovery of gold.
This book does
not claim to be a complete record of all persons living in the district of Evan
in 1828, but great care has been taken to make it as accurate as possible.
Family History Researchers will find it very useful as a Time Mark as to
whether a person was living in the Penrith district in 1828, or not.
If the book is
further dissected by the reader into households and the people employed by
them, a very interesting picture of life in the Penrith district in 1828 will
emerge.
