Wow thank you . My mother passed away when I was 7yrs old , thought that there were only the 4 sister but have found  Eva ,  Myrtle Irene,    Ellla kathleen ,  Myrtle Clara (my mum)
But the other sister was Emma  May who died 1949 and a brother  Philip  who married in
In glosstershine England and died there. I know nothing about Emma May.
The interesting thing is Eva's  mum 's name was Quallman but on her marriage ceft.has put Colman her husband  Phillip GAGHEN was much older  than her and had beem married but his wife had passed away Eva was there first child. I am stuck  on finding Phillips father Thomas Gaghen wilfe Margaret o'Tool  arrived in Adelaide 1855.
I THINK THOMAS WAS BORN ABOUT 1825..?
From Beagh Kilmac Duagh Galway.  As i was born and lived in Adelaide most of my life  but not now .I So Thank you  for your time I need all the help I can get.Cheers Gail
