Funny thing, my partner and I just returned from a long road trip to Canberra from Bellingen. We went the long way as we saw some friends along the way, to my astonishment we travelled through a wee country town called Cathcart. My interest picqued upon seeing this name and did a little digging: Well - we discovered a little Town called Cathcart...!
https://en.wikipedia.org/.../Cathcart,_New_South_Wales...and even more interesting the local indigenous people called the area: Togranong.
Prior to European settlement, the Ngarigo Aboriginal people were known to inhabit the lands around Cathcart. Their name for the area was Togranong....
sounds similar to a russian area called Taganrog....Taganrog (Russian: Таганрог, IPA: [təɡɐnˈrok]) is a port city in Rostov Oblast, Russia, on the north shore of Taganrog Bay in the Sea of Azov, several kilometers west of the mouth of the Don River. It is in the Black Sea region. Population: 245,120 (2021 Census);[13] 257,681 (2010 Russian census);[8] 281,947 (2002 Census);[14] 291,622 (1989 Soviet census).[15]
Lord Cathcart links to Alexander 1st of Russia. Taganrog Bay is near the Sea of Asov. Lord Cathcart is discussed in this book as having had a ship in Tagranog Bay, Sea of Asov at the time of Tsar Alexander 1st death - further research into his heirs have revealed a non communication about this ship and any ships records as well. This is discussed in the book mentioned previously:
