Snippets
- Edward Austin Mcmanus was the brother of Vera McManus (who became Vera Ryan, above) and Lottie McManus. Edward married Vera Jones (who then became Vera McManus). So he had a sister Vera and married a Vera.
- Mary McManus married Hilton Roberts There were 8 sibling's but only 4 survived. They grew up out near 2 Mile Flat (outside of Gulgong) as their grandparents had the Guntawang Inn. My great grandmother talked of her childhood, sneaking under the dance floor at ball's at Guntawang Stud and looking at people dancing. She also talked of them hiding Jimmy Governor the Aboriginal Bush ranger. Sadly the Inn didn't exist but the wood from the Inn was brought into Moonlight Street in Gulgong and used to build a house for Joyce Ryan.
