Hi Paul, Is your mother Gwenneth Ruby Pearle nee HORNE & your father Ernest Kilvington KIRBY? I am not directly related but my grandmother was descended from James Swales CLARK and Elizabeth nee McDONALD who settled in Bulga, NSW. These CLARK's married into the McALPIN, EATHER, ONUS families. I have 100 years of CLARK family stories (82 pages in all) written by Elizabeth Catherine CLARK who married Thomas Lindsay COLLINS at Bulga in 1879. The story starts in Yorkshire, England and makes very interesting reading. I recall one story about a trip from Bulga by road & sea to Richmond to visit a specialist doctor who I think was recommended by Mrs EATHER of Richmond. I am sure this Mrs EATHER would relate to one of yours. If you would like a copy of this part of the story, please let me know.
