Luminaries Series - reimagining untold stories of women in Australian history
My Great, great grandmother was Catherine Anne Flood. What I know about her is what I've found on official records. Irish. Came to Australia on a ship called the Shooting Star (sounds romantic). Her occupation was listed as 'housekeeper' (I failed to inherit that skill). Married a German man, Wilhelm Dreschler. They lived in Sedgwick, raised a family. The things I'm longing to know are now buried in the past. What was she like? What did she like? Did she miss her home? How did she meet Wilhelm and come to marry him? In my deep longing to know the women from my past, I feel a sense of loss to have not uncovered anything anecdotal about her. And so I imagine her qualities and interests to foster a lineal connection. She must have been brave and adventurous. Or desperately fleeing poverty and famine. I imagine she loved tea and that's where I get it from. How strange her new life in a completely foreign and new (for Europeans) land must have been. What strength she must have had.
