Summary

A photographic copy of what was probably an over-painted photographic portrait of members of the Morris family. Robert Morris and Emma Morris, nee Coombes, arrived in South Australia onboard the ship the 'Hesperides' in June 1876 with their three children Albert Edward, Walter Robert and Florence Ellen. Walter, Florence and their fourth child John, born 1877, died while the family were in South Australia. The family moved to New South Wales in about 1878. Daughter Mabel Martha was born in Bourke in 1879, son Percival in Cobar in 1881, and daughter Olive Maud Mary in Cobar in 1883. Percival died the same year. The portrait depicts, left to right, Olive, Robert, Albert, Mabel and Emma in about 1885. Another five children were born later. Most of the family, including Robert and Emma, relocated to Western Australia.
