Rachel Patience Lawson Whitley
My great-great-grandmother, Rachel, left her native Ireland for New South Wales. She lived a hard life at times and was sometimes in trouble with the law. Hers is an interesting story.
Alexander Albin (Albion)
My great-great-grandfather, Alexander, left his native Ireland for Sydney, moved on to Toowoomba, and then went west. There were some bumps along the way but he built a life for himself and his sons.
