Above: Margaret Mallon, daughter of Mary Frances Sheridan, and her maternal grandmother, Bridget Mary Bourke Sheridan.



Above: These three women were very close during their lives...left to right: Mary Frances Sheridan, her mother Bridget Mary Bourke Sheridan and Mary's only child, Margaret Mallon. Unlike other photos when Aunty Mary is looking sad (or sour!), this is a lovely one of her that has captured a moment of happiness.

Above: Bridget Mary Frances Bourke, daughter of Paddy and Margaret Bourke, and wife of Patrick James 'Paddy' Sheridan. This photo was taken of Bridget after her wedding day in 1897, and in it she is decked out the outfit which she was wearing when she set off from Tungamah by train to start her honeymoon.

Above: A very young Bridget Mary Bourke...she was an excellent horsewoman.
