The following is a list of references to aboriginals by either their native name or that designated by europeans. The majority of these names are from newspaper reports or journals,hospital and institution records pre 1900.The source is indicated following the reference.

Be aware that the spelling of the aboriginal name is usually only the european translation of the way the name sounded.Also be aware that many aboriginals were named for their employers..(eg) an aboriginal known as 'Tommy' worked regularly with Robert Bostock, thus he became to be referred as 'Bostock's Tommy' or 'Tommy Bostock'

Jacky..NSW..Rylestone-Mudgee Region.
1861.  (Western Post and Mudgee News.1st June 1861)
"..Our little village was startled out its propriety, last Sunday, by a report that Mr WADDINGTON's (National School Teacher) house had been broken open during his absence from home. On inquiry it turned out that a man named Jacky, an aboriginal, had broken two panes in the school-house windows, and by putting his hand through the broken panes, had stolen a time piece that was conveniently placed on a small shelf near the windows. Jacky took the time-piece to Mr SHUMACK, shoemaker, telling him it was his, and to take care of it for him; after this exploit,he very coolly walked into Mr WALTON's stable, and seeing a horse ready saddled, &c.,with a valise strapp'd on, - he made free to take it. Since which he has not been seen; this was most barefaced robbery; several people saw him with the horse, but imagined it was one that had been lent him to brake in. The police have been out for 3 or 4 days, and although they have heard of him, and one day were only an hour behind him!, they did not manage to take him, which by-the-bye is a great pity, for a greater scoundrel, cannot be. I forgot to mention that the horse belongs to Mr McLEOD, who lives a few miles from Ryalstone.
