Does anyone know Doug Morrissey, the author of a 1987 PhD thesis "Selectors, Squatters and Stock Thieves: A Social History of Kelly Country" held at La Trobe University library, and how I could contact him??
The thesis includes details of James FORGE (my great great grandfather) being "an buttociate of the QUINNs, LLOYDs and KELLYs" and that he "was well known to the police 'as a most notorious cattle stealer', whose shanty pub at Greta was 'the resort of all the horse and cattle stealers in the district'."
I would love to find the original documents at the PRO that Doug cites in his thesis, but I can't work out how to find them from his referencing.
