Hi Lynda,
Since posting my message I obtained Richard Joseph Dyos and Agnes' marriage certificate. She is Agnes Carroll born abt 1836 County Carlow, Ireland. Her father is Michael Carroll. I don't have her mothers name as yet.
Maud Catherine Dyos (sometimes referred to as just Catherine) is my fathers mothers mother.
She lived with my grandmother (Agnes Ivy St Clair IRELAND) and her husband (Arnold Bolton)for the last 27yrs of her life. I am told that she ruled the home with sternness - everyone had a respectful "fear" of her (even when she was bedridden). My father remembers her vividly.
We also have a cousin named Cecily Hirst ( daughter of Charles Percy Norman Ireland, eldest son of Maud Catherine)who is nearly 85yrs old and lives at Blaxland in the Blue Mountains, who has lots of stories to tell about this side of the family. She lived nearby and spent a lot of time at my fathers childhood home. She is 11 yrs older than my father and loved spending time with him as a child. She told me that after Maud Catherine died, her daughter Agnes Ivy St Clair took over the role of being the one to be feared.
Cecily loves to talk to people about all this kind of stuff. I know she would not mind my giving you her address. It is 11 Mitchells Pass Blaxland 2774.
If you would like to contact me direct, my email address is: [email protected]
Regards, Ilet Grgich
