    O Mac Ashamed to say I missed the handwriting! Mea culpa. I think the G. is a misreading of the E. on the back.

    And date amended to 1906, thanks to your graduation information.

    From Wikipedia - "... On Friday 13 August she was teaching the daughter of Tomas O'Crohan, Cáit, to swim. Despite them only being a few feet from the shore, she and Cáit got into trouble. Cáit's brother, Donal, attempted to save both of them. Another local Peats Tom Ó Cearnaigh came to their aid, but could only save Cáit. Nic Niocaill and Donal drowned. ..."

    Is/was Cáit the daughter and Donal the son of this fellow ? ... [https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/24801371188/]

    Recorded as Eveleen Constance Nicolls at her birth.

    Oddly, as Eibhlín Nic Aonguis in the 1901 census, the only one in the household recorded as Gaeilge.

    Record of her death says Evelyn Nicholls, both names wrong, presumably the Jams O'Donnell effect.

Strikers during lockout, at Broken Hill, 1909, photographer unknown

  • Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies said:
    What an extraordinary image, hiding their identities I guess. "In 1908 BHP attempted to reduce wages on the expiration of an existing industrial agreement. In response the unions commenced a recruitment campaign and began agitation for increased wages. Following an agreement on conditions BHP closed its mines and announced that it would re-open 'after the Christmas period with rates reduced by 12.5 percent. The company eventually re-opened with non-union labour. In response the unions picketed the mine and battles with police ensued. The lockout lasted 20 weeks with many miners defecting from the union ranks." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_Hill_Trades_Hall Picketers with an effigy of a 'hanged scab' - www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2009/04/20/2546761.htm#:~:te.... "The Great Lockout of 1909 was prologued in 1908 when the bosses decided through the voice of John Darling, Chairman of Directors of B.H.P. that wages must come down by 12.5 percent, i.e. from the minimum of 8/7½ to 7/6 per day." (added emphasis) www.solidarityforeverbook.com/cgi-bin/showchapter.pl?c=4 "During prolonged industrial struggles women bore the brunt of increasingly difficult household duties, exacerbated by food shortages and the lack of income. During the five-month 1909 Lockout, the first industrial dispute to take place in Broken Hill for sixteen years, women formed a Relief Committee to help those struggling to feed and clothe their families. The 'Big Strike' that lasted 18 months from 1919 to 1920 was an extremely trying period. Co-operative depots were established by the unions, supplying housewives with basic food such as bread, margarine, potatoes and onions. Many mothers saw their children suffer from malnutrition. Miscarriages due to poor diet and anxiety were common. The Big Strike was the last major strike that the women of Broken Hill had to endure. It was finally called off on 10 November 1920 after both the unions and mine managers agreed to the recommendations made by the President of the New South Wales Industrial Court, Justice Edmunds." www.womenaustralia.info/biogs/AWE4102b.htm
