Adelaide Brown nee Barlow, my maternal great-grandmother.



She was born in 1856 at the goldrush township of Tambaroora, NSW, Australia and died at Newtown in Sydney in 1920. This photo was probably taken at Hill End, NSW in about 1878.

This is my father's maternal grandmother, Annie Mitchell, nee Allen. Annie was born in about 1844 (not registered) in Bristol. She was the second wife of stone mason and publican, Edwin Flower Mitchell, who she married in 1879. Her only surviving child was my grandmother, Florence. Annie died in 1926 aged 82.

This photo was taken in the 1890s.

This is my father's paternal grandmother, Johanna Burchill, nee Sage. Johanna was born in 1853 in Chew Magna, Somerset and married Samuel Charles Burchill in 1879. The had six children (pictured), the oldest being my grandfather, George. Johanna died in 1928 aged 74.

This is my mother's paternal grandmother, Mary Louisa Buck, nee Clark. Mary was born into a Quaker family in 1860 at Neithrop near Banbury, Oxfordshire. She worked as a governess of the children of the headmaster of Sidcot (Quaker) School in Somerset where she met her future husband, Henry Robert Clark, who she married in 1884. Mary died in 1928 at Winscombe in Somerset. I think this photograph was taken just before her marriage in 1884.
