Hey! [especially PRUE M.] did you see the Kelly photos

[sparrett]

Hi All

[speciallly Prue]

Inthe AGE this morning is a wonderful item and photos about Ned Kelly's mother and family.

Some new photos have turned up which were taken by Detective Fred Piggot in approx 1920's

They show Ellen Kelly and her last living son, Jim, together with a car and some other people. They are in a in the open country.

As so often in these wonderful discoveries, the find of the photos was pure luck being part of a collection of old memorabillia  belonging to Piggot.

Love to know what Prue and others think of them...assuming they are published in other State's papers.

No, I can't find a way to view them online either.
disappointing.
I also thought I would look at the war record of the grandson of Ellen [Kate's son] who was mentioned in the article. Fred Foster.

Hi Christine.
I'm sure you will know this link, but I'll put it up anyway as it is a very good lucid telling of the story. 
this page is particularly about Ned's sister Kate [known as ADA] and it makes rference to the Avenel property you mention.

  I can't get a good response from digi display on NAA.
  It is allowing some for viewing and not others [for me anyway]
