From rural Ireland to inner-city Sydney - my great grandmother's journey.
This is my great grandmother, Cecelia Sedgwick (nee Morley) (animated by AI from My Heritage!). She was born in Red Hill, near Ballindine, County Mayo in Ireland in 1864. Her family (father Thomas, mother Bridget) lived on a farm on Lot 7b (land and house) at Redhill, owned by John Nolan Ferrall. There is an 1856 map of the region, which clearly shows Redhill, approximately between Ballyhaunis and Ballandine (which explains why both are found on various documentation) which was entirely owned by John Ferrall, and he also owned several nearby farms. If we zoom in a bit, we can clearly see Lot 7, but it's not clear where a and b might be and which house they would have lived in. You can go onto Google maps now, and actually travel around virtually, via Google Streetview! This house is the northern bit near the current road, looking south over Lot 7. It's hard to know if this was their house, but you can imagine where Thomas and Bridget lived, with their 7 children, including Cece
