Hi Barbara,
My dear sweet great aunt, might be amused to know she was related to a convict, Sadly, I think her generation was made to feel a lot of shame about being part aboriginal, but fact are facts no matter wheather we like them or not, for me I think it gives a a more interesting history, it's the facts that I'm interested in, and it's the facts I'd like to leave behind me for future generations.
I have a Mary Anne Dingwell death at Gunnedah NSW 1906 aboriginal aged 75, that would put her birth date at 1831. I have yet to get the marriage cert, but will keep you informed, I just hope it has her parents name on it.
Bye for now Regards Karen Kingston
