Westmeath / Margaret Fisher or Fisher Family of Westmeath
« on: Sunday 25 September 11 23:16 BST (UK) »
A wonderful account of Margaret Fisher surfaced yesterday... it was an account of her written by her grandson, Mervyn, a wonderful researcher, many years ago. It passed down through the fmaily and I was given a copy yesterday.
It indicates:
Margaret Fisher was born in 1831 at Athlone
She remembers as a small child, living with her mother and sister Mary in a cottage on the Estate of Lord Castlemaine. (Moydrum Castle was the family manor, in its grounds) She remembered her mother as being attractive, dainty, fond of pretty clothes and with a charming manner.
He rmother died of TB in her early 20s and Margaret and Mary were taken into a convent by nuns. They were educated. Margaret was trained as a housekeeper and Mary trained as a governess.
Housekeeper training was more important than it sounds... it involved gaining skills in managing a large house, hiring firing and training staff, purchasing, arranging for meals. In their mid teens they were shipped to Sydney. Margaret became a housekeeper to a wealthy family. She was happy there. She met and married John Roberts in 1855. They spent some time in the Vict goldfields and later settled at Marrer near Wagga.. Her husband John died unexpectedly in 1894 and Margaret continued to work the property with her sons
Sometime before her death she suffered a stroke which deprived her of speech and left her unable to walk properly. She lived with her son Frank, and each day she was seated in a large chair near the fire, where she could see what was happening. Her granddaughters would dress her . At age 82 she had another stroke, which was fatal.
Interesting!

John James Snodgrass who was born in Wagga served in both WW1 and WW2. He was involved in the Japanese breakout at Cowra.
He is my grandfather.
He did not live in WA.
He lived at Wagga, Sydney, The Rock, Merrygoen and finally Mendooran where he raised his family. I am keen to know what the objects were and in which museum they are displayed. I can then pass this information onto his surviving children.
His eldest son turns 90 today. Another of his sons, Brian, died a few months ago
Thank you
Cassandra
