Content

Comprehensive subject file containing correspondence, research, articles, and newspaper articles/clippings compiled over time by various named and un-named researchers, separated into a number of files. In addition to genealogical information contained in brief handwritten biographies there are also transcriptions of cemetery records and a family tree (Sue Leong). The file also contains a copy of Suzanne McWha’s article on Marion Henty’s wedding dress and a long newspaper article. There is also a typed summary of a talk provided by Dr. and Mrs Scholes, who were descendants of James Henty. The value of the file is that it is comprehensive and mentions Henty relatives who are not named Henty.
