Cecil was my great uncle and when my dad, Norman Richard Maloney, purchased Gulgowra (from Uncle Cecil) at the time of his (dad) marriage in 1952 I think, Cecil and Gladys moved to Bara. I was born in 1953 and so grew up at Gulgowra,. Lue. I asked my mum if she knew who your grandmother was..but not enough clues to gain any more information. What was her name? Cecil and Gladys had no children. Tennis was the social activity of the time and I remember Cecil in his latter years critiquing my and my twin sister's tennis skills!!! Thank you for the information. If I find any info re your grandmother I will let you know.Myree Maloney myreem@ozemail.com.auMyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179992440053084147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-30023477128941648112017-07-16T17:21:25.979+10:002017-07-16T17:21:25.979+10:00Myree Maloney July 2017

I grew up at Gulgowra, Lue.(my dad, Norman Richard Maloney, purchased Gulgowra from his uncle(Cecil) around the time of his marriage 1952 and Cecil and Gladys moved to their property in Bara area. I have asked my mother if she knew your grandmother...no recollection yet!<br />I have many memories of Gulgowra and some of Uncle Cecil. He used to watch my twin sister and I play tennis in Mudgee. enough of my interest! What was your grandmothers name? Thank you for the lovely information and photos.

I think that's why my grandmother went up to help Milly too as they both had to cook for the shearers - hard yakka as we call it here in Orstralia - yakka being slang for work. Funnily enough as I was writing this post, my daughter was sending me photos of alpacas being shorn at her partner's mother's property.

But I'm smiling because it's a very familiar name to me. In fact I'm surrounded by it - on the north by the Stanislaus River, on the east by the Stanislaus National Forest, & on the west by Stanislaus County (all pronounced with a silent 's' at the end) Wikipedia says the Stanislaus name in our region came from a Mi-Wok Indian leader whose name, according to information from Mission San Jose, was Estanislao. I don't know if that man had any connection to Slavic heritage, however.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-70069836563498581152014-10-06T09:43:53.269+10:002014-10-06T09:43:53.269+10:00Now that is funny!
