Summary

Mrs Alfred Bird and her four children. Mrs Bird was formerly Emma Chittleborough, daughter of William Chittleborough and granddaughter of James Chittleborough. William died in 1911, a farmer from Reynella and was one of the first pioneers present at the reading of the Proclamation at Glenelg. He arrived at Glenelg onboard the Buffalo in 1836. To her left is Ellen Bird, later to become Mrs Bent. It is interesting to note the fashion worn in the photograph, Emma is wearing a full skirted, high necked costume and the girls are wearing dresses with frills around the skirts. The boy is wearing a loose fitting jacket and cravat.
