William Percy I

There is little information available other than he married Harriet Wills(?). This information comes from his son's death certificate from 1913. There is a record of a land grant in the Colonial Secretaries Letters Relating to Land in 1851 to a William Edward Percy here: http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/indexes-online/results?state=&fields=%25percy%3B&names=Surname%2C&Index=CSreLand&id=14&Surname=%25percy&SUBMIT=Submit+Query Maybe he came out to Australia first and his son came out the following year? The Everrets at Ollera were apparently known for their 'commmunity-building' and bringing out 'trustworthy' people from England, but this all might be a bit far-fetched as a hypothesis at this stage! There is a Simpson R. Percy applying for a lease in 1849 in the Gwydir district for the area known as 'Parish of Trigamon'. This is near Bingara, so suits the particular area of Ollera. The link is here . This is a dead end - Hi

Laurence Hetherington Percy

Laurence was from Gunnedah and is mentioned on the family tree photos. He served in Korea: http://www.koreanroll.gov.au/veteran.aspx?id=1208371 From the family tree, it seems that Laurence is Robert (Bob) Percy's brother (wife Bessie June). There is a Robert Percy who served as a sub-lieutenant in the Navy: http://www.koreanroll.gov.au/veteran.aspx?id=1223127 Not sure if it is Bob in the Navy record, but the date works!
