New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Corrie family *COMPLETED*
« on: Friday 09 December 16 23:42 GMT (UK) »
Hey all,
My great grandmother was a Corrie, "Moira Binsiar" (nee Corrie) I always called her "Big Nan" she's from the Torres Strait Islands, she passed away 2 years ago. But my Nan said she was born on Thursday Island then when WW2 came they evacuated the islands and Nan and her siblings were moved to Cairns as they got older some stayed in Cairns, some moved to Mackay & other places. (Nan moved to Mackay and lived there)
I've seen pictures of Nans parents I cant remember their names but Great Great Grandad was a Corrie form Badu Island and Great Great Nan was a Maneway from Thursday Island. Nan always called her "Nan Dolly".
