IDEDICATE THIS BOOK to my Mother formally Elizabeth Tuddenham, grand daughter of Mary Garahy and grand niece of Bridget Garahy.
The forgotten Women of Ireland is about Bridget and Mary Garahy together with approximately four thousand other women from Ireland.
They came to Australia before 1855 to marry Australian men, as there was a shortage of women at that time!

IWAS BORN ON the 12th of January 1929, at 64 Barkley Street Ballarat East. Dr Spring attended at the house of Nurse Mrs. Phobe Shadford, and was also assisted by Bridget Shadford, probably her daughter.
At the time, my father had the local butcher shop and my mother run the Post Office.
They were very hard working people, and the great Depression had begun, and with a family of eight children, they had it very tough. Our main food source was potatoes and rabbits, we were surrounded by both of them.

There were two classrooms 1 to 4 & 5 to
