> Hi Listers,
> I'm interested in finding my grandfathers sister's family. She was born
Dorothy CARBERRY in 1899 in Fremantle WA, but after 3 marriages & 3
daughters she spent the last years of her life in Kerang, & Koondrook.
> Marriage 1 was to James HANNAN & they had 2 daughters, Roma (1918) &
Gloria (1921).
> Dorothy then married husband 2, Robert McBrearty, in 1933 but they had no
children (that I know of).
> When Dorothy was 37 she married a policeman Albert Coleman in 1936, and
they had a third child, Eve Lynette (1943), & they lived at Koondrook.
> It seems that during this period of her life that Dorothy adopted the name
Josephine, & the nickname "Josie". Josie was a tireless worker for the
Barham hospital ladies auxiliary [no hospital at Koondrook] and the Country
Women's Association.
> Bert Coleman died at Koondrook in 1978, and Dorothy aka Josie COLEMAN died
a widow in nearby Kerang aged 79 years. She is buried at Koondrook Cemetery.
> Any info very gratefully received,
> Sandy
