Historical information

When Ethel's mother died in 1884 and her father just four years later, the orphaned children were cared for by their maternal grandmother, Mary Roberts (Grandndma) who lived at Hannay Street, Largs Bay. As the eldest daughter, Ethel assisted her grandmother with the daily running of the household until her marriage at the age of 27 years. She married Thomas Davidson in March 1901, and they had 7 children. They lived in Broken Hill for the first few years, but had returned to Adelaide by 1905 where they resided at 32 South Terrace, Semaphore. See D 7945(L) for letters written by Thomas to Ethel.
