They've Left Us Behind (eBook, ePUB)

A Social History

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Stanley Lawrence Carroll and Doreen McGlinn were ordinary West Australians who lived through the Great Depression and World War II and went on to raise a close and loving family.

Their ancestors came to Australia between 1830 and 1871 as free settlers, convicts, military men, and others, all wanting to make a new life in a new country. The stories outline the hardships this family had to endure and the grit and determination required to make a success of their lives in a new country.

These families include the Ashworths and McGlinns from York, the Pollards from Guildford, the Gawneds from Claremont (originally from Victoria), the Carrolls from Claremont (originally from the Goulburn area of NSW), the Kemps and Buckleys from Greenough and Geraldton, the Tillings and Williams from South Australia.

Their stories are an important social history of ordinary citizens who, for whatever reason, settled in Australia soon after colonisation.

Autorenporträt

About the AuthorMaureen Francesconi (nee Carroll) was brought up in a war service housing area in the western suburbs of Perth, Western Australia during the 1950s and 60s. She went on to become a qualified ladies' hairdresser before marrying and having two children. Later, she went to university and was awarded a Bachelor of Applied Science in librarianship followed by a Post Graduate Diploma in business. Her employment included Head Librarian in various public libraries and Manager of a newly formed computer service in local government. Throughout her life, she was intensely keen on natural history with a particular interest in birds and their behaviour. A chance encounter led to professional work in this area for over 25 years. Throughout her life, she always had an interest in Western Australian history. When Covid 19 brought lockdowns, this interest flourished and an underlying curiosity in family history was satisfied. Research led to more and deeper knowledge of her past relatives and she felt this information should be shared. The product is this book.
