Amy Halliday (nee Killion) - born 125 years ago today
Amy Halliday (nee Killion) was born on this day 125 years ago - 2 February 1897 at Smithtown, NSW. Amy married Herbert Halliday in 1922 in Sydney. They had five children. Amy died in 1949 in Marrickville. Amy was my grandmother's first cousin. Being such a big family, I often wonder what contact the cousins had. What I do know is that Amy's granddaughter, Helen, has this photo in her collection as well as a photo of my great-grandparents, Margaret Killion and Francis Gersbach, inscribed "Aunty Maggie and Uncle Frank". While the photo was taken about 1885, the years evaporate when see you read those inscriptions. So it makes me wonder about this photo. Was it a photo taken by a street photographer, perhaps during the war? Where was it taken? We have a clue as it was in front of a Bank of New South Wales and the street number was 155. Is there an inscription? This photo was shared on Ancestry.com by Amy's great-granddaughter.
