Elizabeth and Emily Macarthur, Camden, Sydney, ca. 1858

    How can this be, Elizabeth MacArthur nee Veale died 1850.
  • State Library of New South Wales said:
    It may be another person? This Elizabeth is the daughter of James Macarthur and she married Arthur Onslow in 1867
  • Julie Storry said:
    Would it be Elizabeth Macarthur (1840-1911) on the left? I agree that would make her the grand-daughter of Elizabeth Veale Macarthur (1766-1850). If the photo was taken in 1858, it would make the later Elizabeth Macarthur-Onslow about 18 years of age. Who, however, is Emily Macarthur, the older woman on the right? There is a striking physical resemblance to Elizabeth Veale Macarthur, with the strong aquiline nose and sardonic turn to the mouth. I am unable to locate an "Emily" in the family tree prior to 1858.
  • State Library of New South Wales said:
    Elizabeth was the daughter of James Macarthur (1798-1867) who married Emily Stone, daughter of a Lombard Street banker. adb.anu.edu.au/biography/macarthur-james-2389 It seems Emily was Elizabeth's mother.

  • Tveljus said:
    Carole Riley And they were all white and all men. Civilization at its finest?
  • State Library of New South Wales said:
    Yes, not until 1925 was Millicent Preston-Stanley elected to the Legislative Assembly of NSW, but British women did not even have national female suffrage until 1928 (although they could stand for Parliament before then!)
