Notes

Mary probably looked after he brothers on a farm at Kybunga at quite an early age, travelling from Grace Plains and staying for several weeks.
After her marriage she became a good housewife, attending to all the usual duties of a farm wife of years ago. One grand daughter recalls her visits to her home, bringing lots of goodies to her little grand daughters.
Ladies of years ago had little scope for other than being a wife and mother. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992)
