He & Charles William Hughes purchased the run from Charles O'Connell(Maurice O'Connell), held the licence for one year. He left due to the severe drought which affected most of NSW. On retreating to Armidale, it rained and Hughes got bogged at Guy Fawkes. Charles Hughes then moved to India.Peter Dowlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756463440459277523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005668431384229268.post-90750184228936514672012-08-22T19:06:52.073+10:002012-08-22T19:06:52.073+10:00A belated thank you, Judy, for following up.A belated thank you, Judy, for following up.Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005668431384229268.post-10324311151490604992012-05-13T19:11:21.007+10:002012-05-13T19:11:21.007+10:00Yet another granddaughter of Kentys (Judy Garde Wi...Yet another granddaughter of Kentys (Judy Garde Wilson, not Sonias mother but another cousin)I lived in Armidale and spent many hours with gran who to me was a truly awesome lady, yes she could be scary but she could also be a very caring person.She was also the worlds worst driver!

This Mary Kent Hughes was the granddaughter of John Singleton's daughter, Mary Quinn, who married Desmond Graham or Dilmond Humes. I'm puzzled, but think this must be a different Mary Kent Hughes, because I believe Kenty's grandparents were Charles Hughes and Ellen Mann, and Alfred Rankin and Ellen Shalders (also my ancestors, hence my interest). Anyone know? If any of the two descendants who posted here are interested, I have photos of their Rankin ancestors posted on ancestry.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09279847284069239835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005668431384229268.post-23401084374479585272012-01-10T19:47:41.695+11:002012-01-10T19:47:41.695+11:00What an interesting comment, Barbara!

We grew up in awe of this woman who would dispense lectures on moral virtues and christian devotion quite regularly. We assisted with surgery "on the verandah" fetching and carrying and helping with poultices and plaster casts. We on occasion were taken to visit the children's wards at the hospital and felt very important! I'm sure Granny was influential in my career path in allied health! She was an amazing woman with a strong pioneering spirit.Barbara Peattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05092141122215762023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005668431384229268.post-13739353193736796332011-12-29T07:07:32.430+11:002011-12-29T07:07:32.430+11:00How fascinating, Sonia.

I went to visit Aboriginal mums with her when I was a child. She was well meant but clearly of an earlier generation. We even had the stories of the curates! <br /><br />Sonia Ennals (daughter of Judith Garde Wilson)Sonia Ennalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15327100408083535350noreply@blogger.com
