- Summary:
-
"In 1898 my great-grandmother Eliza Bannister (née Elliott) 'took in' a six year old orphan, Catherine Mitchell. From then on Catherine was known as Grace. Grace lived in the Bannister family homes which were in Graman, Howell and Tingha (three towns in the Inverell District of New South Wales) until her marriage to John 'Jack' Reid in 1909. Just before Grace arrived Eliza began to continue the diary started by her recently deceased husband, William Henry Bannister. She continued to write the diary until 1912. This story is drawn from Eliza's diary. I chose to write the story of the 'taken in' child, rather than a story about my direct forebears, as I wanted to understand how a 'taken in' orphan's life could be transformed by being given a place in a loving and stable family.' -- Publisher.
