My name is Barry Spollen and I am the son of Gladys Kathleen Spollen (Fahey) who was the daughter of Emma Theresa Fahey (Elliott)...I don't have much information on my Mother but I know that after her mother died she was taken in by another family for a while and then sent to an orphanage in Rockhampton.  When of age she was sent to Mareeba in North Queensland where she met and married my father Alfred Edward (Bonny) Spollen.  The name of the family who took mum in was Potter and I have since met their son Bill Potter who was manager of the Spring Hill Baths in Brisbane and daughter Charlotte (Lottie) Price who lives in Nambour...Lottie gave me an early picture of my mother.  Please contact me if you have any further info on the family...My niece Judith Norman has more information on our family.
