Annie May Reily was my great-grandmother and the daughter of Annie Laura Green and Robert Magrane Reily, junior.
Annie was born on 13 September 1874 in Batlow (NSWBDM 20196/1874) [1] and married Joseph Francis Murphy on 30 June 1896 in Tumbarumba, NSW (NSWBDM 3998/1896) [2].
Joseph was a widower with four young children when they married: Alice, aged 11; Christina, aged 8; Ernest and Joseph, twins aged 6; and Jemima who was a newborn when her mother died and 3 years old when Annie married her father. I'm not sure what happened to the children when their father remarried. Were they raised by Annie and Joseph or were they cared for by their mother's family?
Annie and Joseph had the following eight children together, all born in Tumbarumba:
1. Duncan H, born 1895 (NSWBDM 999999/1895 189501701)
2. Robert Stanley, born 1897 (NSWBDM 26605/1897). Died in 1949 in Balmain.
3. Beatrice M, born 1900 (NSWDBM 7873/1900)
4. Albert Francis (Frank), born 1904 (NSWBDM 17210/1904)
5. Frederick George, born 1907 (NSWBDM 8381/1907). Died 21 December 1949 in Sydney [4].
6. Daisy Maude, born 1910 (NSWBDM 32672/1910). Died in 1972 in St Leonards.
Daisy was known as Maude. She married George Brabason Carleton in Sydney in 1936. In 1940, the couple were living at 5 Janet Street in Merewether, Newcastle. By 1946 they had moved to a house called St Elmo in Rosedale Road in Gordon, Sydney [2].
7. Ronald John, born 1914 (NSWBDM 9791/1914)
8. Walter Henry (Spud), born 1917 (NSWBDM 12142/1917). Died in 1964 in Sydney.
