SUMMARY:AIHA - Saint Brigid's Day Celebration - The Story of Mary Ann Taylor – From Galway Workhouse to WA’.
DESCRIPTION:To honour St Brigid\, (451 – 525 AD) Ireland’s female patron saint the AIHA presents ‘The Story of Mary Ann Taylor – From Galway Workhouse to WA’. William (Bill) Marwick OAM\, great grandson of Mary Ann Taylor\, will give an illustrated talk on Mary Ann who was a famine orphan living in Mountbellew workhouse in County Galway. She arrived in Fremantle in 1853 on the sailing ship Palestine just three years after the first convict ship had arrived at the colony. Mary’s story stands out because of the extent of her biographical details that are available and her story was chosen as the first to receive a replica Orphan travel box made by the Irish Prison service. This box will be presented to the York Museum on 15th May and will be on display during Bill’s talk. Last year Bill was a guest speaker at a workhouse conference in Portumna\, where he spoke on Mary. He believes he has the only known photo in the world of an Irish Workhouse girl in her best workhouse uniform. His talk revealed that Irish historians and academics were unaware Irish Orphan girls were sent out to Western Australia after 1850. \nBookings Cecilia Bray 9367 6026 or pay at the door\, $10 includes Irish afternoon tea.
