Here's another biography. Maybe a bit more truthful as no-one really knows much about her.

If this needs editing please do so. So as I don't get into trouble.

 

Seems to be the only one in the area,not as many trees as i remember though!

 

Looks like Mr Google did his driveby in time for a funeral

 

Thanks Chimp Sorry
Or was it Daft Bat...however.....Thanks

 

For anyone interested in the tale of Margaret Catchpole have a read of this.

Trove.....Windsor and Richmond Gazette (NSW:1888-1954)
Saturday 31 October 1896, headed, 'Margaret Catchpole or Mary Reibey'
The mystery deepens
On early convict index her age at sentencing was 41, which would make her birth c1759.

 

Trees would look smaller now & are sadly expendable.

Margaret evidently buried in an unmarked grave:

Thanks Wendy, but I'm still going to put it on my cemetery list for a Sunday stroll. Lots of interesting names in that article.

 

I'd be right with you if we still lived there.
