Hello Ellen
So nice to 'meet' you!
You need to make 3 posts before we can use the Private Message system on Rootschat, so 2 more should do it.
You have probably figured out that my father, Thomas James DWYER, was Kit's nephew. My father's parents Richard Charles and Winifred (nee Ferguson) DWYER moved to Melbourne in the late 1920s so that there was not as much contact with the Mia Mia families.
I would love to have a photocopy of the handwriting in the bible that you have. I note that Probate for Kit's estate was granted to Mary Margaret LINKLATER so I guess that was your mother?
I live in Canberra now and I should do a proper road trip in Victoria - just never seems the right time! The three children of Richard Charles DWYER have died now and they seem to have had little contact with any other DWYERs although they did with the Fergusons (RCD's wife's family)
I have Kit's death as 1945 - about a month before I was born.
Would love to hear from you. Judith
