For the Monaro Pioneers
newsletter.

The Parker Family on Monaro
by Dianne Snowden
Dr Dianne Snowden AM has
completed her book, The
Parker Family on Monaro,
after many years of
painstaking research. Dianne
is a great-great-great-granddaughter
of John and Margaret Parker
who arrived in New South
Wales from Limerick,
Ireland, in July 1840 and
settled on the Monaro
shortly after. John and
Margaret brought with them
their children Mary Ann (m.
Slattery/Rawlings/Mellodew);
Elizabeth (m. Feeney);
Thomas; James (m. Keeling or
Beale); John (m. Tyrie);
Margaret (m. Thurbon/Curtis)
and Ann Sarah (m. Stevens/Tyrie).
A son, Joseph, was born at
Burnima near Bombala in
1842. The book traces
descendants of John and
Margaret Parker down to
their great-grandchildren.
It is fully referenced and
indexed. Dianne is offering
a pre-publication discount
until 31 October 2020. For
more information or for an
