Talk:Thomas Icely

Carcoar
The timeline appears to be:

 * 1839 Carcoar: "The growth of population created by Thomas Icely's Coombing Park property led to the establishment of the town of Carcoar in 1839."
 * 1876 Mandurama, New South Wales
 * 1876 Mandurama, New South Wales
 * 1876 Mandurama, New South Wales

 * The timeline, however, doesn't equate fact. While Carcoar may have 'led to', but it misses the fact that Mandurama was actual founded as a service centre for Coombing Park. http://www.smh.com.au/news/New-South-Wales/Carcoar/2005/02/17/1108500193253.html I'll change it back. 150.203.188.118 (talk) 14:15, 16 October 2011 (UTC)


 * 1. This is an article about Thomas Icely, not about Coombing Park, Carcoar nor Mandurama, New South Wales.
 * 2. Your source, supports the original text. With respect to Mandurama, it says "It began, in the mid-19th century, as a village for the workers on the Icely estate and developed into a service centre for the surrounding farmlands." which does not support your edit that Mandurama was founded in 1876.
 * 3. This source suggests that the name "Mandurama" originated with Tomas Icely but that the town of Mandurama owes its existence to the likes of Thomas Rothery Icely and John Fagan.


 * I propose to revise in these terms.Otherthinker (talk) 08:31, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
