This would have been about 1846-1860? She married John Parkin in Longford on 25/8/1862. They had 6 children born around that area last being born in 1873. John and Kate Parkin ran a boarding house at 2 Finch Road Ulverstone, Tasmania. Their son John took it over from 1914 after Gran died. Thanks in advance, Barb.
