Mary Walshe circa 1939
Mary 2002
The following pages are meant to give a brief outline of
the life of some of my Grandparents and Great-grandparents after they came to
Australia. In doing this I hope to leave my family with a few images of how life
was like for them.
This way I hope to start forming the skeleton of our family history and in the
future someone else may be able to put some meat on the skeleton.
Linda Henry in her book 'The Mary Kelly Story' has told us a little of the
McGleads and Bob Rockett, Waterford, Ireland, has
given us an insight into life for the Foley's in Ireland.
I will cover a little of life in Australia for some of the Marstins, Howers,
McMasters, and Walshes and explain how they were all connected.
My information has come from four sources.
-
Family stories, information and photos from Auntie Annie Marstin nee Hower.(1867- 1964).
-
Family history from the German Genealogist Herr Herbert Ahlgrim.
-
Family research done by my mother's cousin, Ray Hower, who was the son of Fred Hower.
