Dawes Point, pre-1932

  "Major General Finn & family standing on the verandah of the Officers' Quarters, c1902" - from a history of the Dawes Point Battery Site (interesting read), a .pdf download from - asaha.com/ebook/DODQ1NDE-/Dawes-Point-Battery-Site,-1791-...

• beachcomber australia said:

  Biography of Harry Finn mentions his wife Catherine (nee Scott), two daughters and a son. www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A080526b.htm I think one daughter is standing behind her sister. Please State Records NSW, a high resolution image would be interesting. I am no genealogist, but it would be fun to find out the children's names and histories.

  beachcomber australia Here you go, a larger version!

• beachcomber australia said:

  Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Thank you, that large size is great, but I was wrong - there is a daughter missing. And a small white dog has appeared. It must have been a wonderful place to live at the time. I expect they told the children there were ferries at the bottom of the garden!
