Margaret I found this fascinating the tale of your beloved mother and connection to Bridget Cleary. How the seams of life align. Both our mothers named for Bridget
So lucky to have these ancestors and their stories so close, Margaret. Here in Melbourne, ancestors have such silenced histories. The Earth Carrie’s these stories but so often they do not speak.
"We found a grave that was marked but which to me had maddeningly incomplete information. And we found that a grave was unmarked, in the expected sense, but yet present and freighted with tragedy and history." What a lovely description of your search in the cemetery for stories of family and local lore. I love cemeteries too.

So much truth in what you say here Terri - thank you for reading.

Thank you for reading Joann, and yes, cemeteries and graveyards are such interesting places.
