Hello Moe. While I am not directly related I am the descendent of James McNamara a Convict who had a sad death when he fell under a thrashing machine at Mayfield in 1852. There was an inquest held that showed this was clearly a sad accident. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for some general information about Mayfield and/or (I am always hopeful) some records in relation to James.
