Bob Farrell b. 1883 loved his greyhound. There are family stories handed down of the local priest arranging a time for them both to go hunting with Bob's dog during Confession.

Kate Farrell on left with I believe, Noeline West. The nun is a relative, I think one of Gran Farrell's nieces. I believe the relative on the right is Kate's sister Mary (Maim). I believe this was taken on the day of Robert Farrell's baptism in 1927.

Gran Lizzie Farrell b. 1857 with one of her nieces.

Gran (Lizzie) Farrell (nee Reedy), the nun is her niece, Noeline West (child), Aunty Kate Farrell b.1886, Helen (Nell) West (nee Farrell) b.1890, Helen (Nell) Farrell nee Fisher b. 1895 holding her son, Robert Kevin Farrell b. 3/10/1927 on the occasion of his christening.

Helen Farrell with son Robert Kevin at Warrie Creek via Cargo, her family home.

Helen Farrell (nee Fisher) b.1895 with son Robert Kevin Farrell b.1927.

Margaret Love (nee Farrell) thought this was her younger brother Jim but based on Helen Farrell's age and that of Noeline West 9b.1921) , I think it is Bob (Robert Kevin) Farrell b.1927.It couldalso be Margaret Love (nee Farrell) b. 1929.
Margaret thought this was Jim as a baby.Given her age I am more inclined to think it was Bob b. 10/1927.

John Thomas Farrell was standing aside in the shadows with niece Noeline West when this box brownie picture was taken.

Gran (Lizzie) Farrell (nee Reedy) b.1857 on the right with her sister Ellen O'Shea (nee Reedy) b.1842. Uncle Jack Farrell and niece Noeline West in the shadows.

Family photo on the occasion of a visit from Ellen O'Shea (nee Reedy), sister of Gran Lizzie Farrell (nee Reedy). Most participants unknown. The photois quite blurry.

Margaret Love captioned this as Ellen O'Shea b. 1842 with Lizzie Farrell b. 1857. Ellen is Lizzie's elder sister and lived at Wellington.
It is possible this could be one of her other sisters, Mary McAlister b. 1845, or Julia Smith b.1846. The location is the new house on Emmaville built circa 1926.

I believe this is Margaret (baby d.o.b. 20 July 1929) with older brother Bob (Robert Kevin) in around 1930. Original photo blurred. This is a cropped image.

In the centre, the three Reedy sisters. Ekizabeth Farrell (nee Reedy) standing, Ellen O'Shea and I believe Mary McAlister, sitting. The rest of the family are Reesy descendants as far aas I can tell.

I understand this out of focus photo was of Bob Farrell (Robert Kevin b. 1927) with his cousin. Photo would be around 1930.

Bob Farrell b.1883 retired from playing football and became a coach and selector in Group 10 rugby league.

Very probably Bill West with Kathleen and John West, Helen (Nell) West's (nee Farrell) children
Not sure who these children are.

Robert Farrell b. 1883 sitting on the plough. Relative unknown.

Harold John West married Helen (Nell )Farrell in 1920. Ellen is James Farrell's sister. They visited Emmaville on a regular basis after Sunday mass. Two of their children grew up on Emmaville in order to attend a local school in Orange.

Helen Farrell (nee Fisher) on a swing. Was this in Cook Park Orange?

Margaret Love nee Farrell identified these children as Marion Hennessy and Joan Barry, cousins. They were the grand children of Lizzie (Gran) Farrell's sister, Mary McAlister.

This could be Bob (Robert Kevin) Farrell on the horse drawn harvester.

Gran Lizzie Farrell (nee Reedy) relatives. These will be the children and grandchildren of one or perhaps both of her sisters, Mary McAlister or Ellen O'Shea.

1937 Margaret 1st Communion

Aunty Kit (Catherine) Fisher and Aunty Mary Edwards (nee Fisher)

This might be Nell Farrell (nee Fisher) but picture is too blurry to make out details.

At a guess, I think this is Mary Edwards nee Fisher b. 1891. Sister of Helen Farrell Nell, nee Fisher).

John Butler is a cousin of Bob, Margaret and Jim Farrell.

Margaret Love (nee Farrell) on the pony Darky with her cousin John Butler. John was the grandson of Ellen Farrell (married John Lawler). Ellen was Jas. Farrell's sister, Margaret's grandfather making these two second cousins.

Mick and Phylomina's sons Frank and Brian. Brian broke his arm when the two boys were playing gymnastics.

Shot of Millthorpe in early 1920s. Helen Farrell (nee Fisher) worked in Millthorpe before later working in Orange at EC Cameron's garage in Summer St.

In Robert, Margaret and Jim's early school years, they hitched a ride with the abattoirs Meat Truck to get to school. The truck dropped them off in the main street, Summer St. near the Post Office.

Main street of Orange looking East. Post Office on the right.

Shot of the main street of Orange looking to the west from opposite the Post Office. Somewhere (probably) mid 1930s.

Without real details, this could be the Edwards family home in Sydney when Helen Farrell (nee Fisher) visited her sister Mary Edwards (nee Fisher).

Margaret Love identified these folk as Rose and Joan Barry. The Barry's are grandchildren and great grand children of Mary McAlister (nee Reedy) b. 1845, sister of Gran Lizzie Farrell (nee Reedy) b. 1857.wife of James (Jas.) Farrell.

This could well be Jim and Georgie Fisher'sresidence on Bathurst bRd. Orange. But it is a complete guess.

Stook building was a specialized skill where men on the ground threw sheaves of hay up to men on top who built the stook to withstand rain. Not necessarily immune to high Willy Willies.

Emmaville in snow. Guessing the date. Old orchard in background - possibly the Hill paddock before planted with cherries. At that time is was planted with grapes. Around harvest time they would sleep there to prevent workers from the Meat Works pilfering grapes.

The ladders were home made for picking fruit!

Robert Kevin (Bob) Farrell L with Jim (James Joseph) Farrell R and an unknown cousin, possibly Meville Edwards.

Guessing around 1951, perhaps earlier. I don't think this was taken at Emmaville. Perhaps Helen (Nana) and Bob (Robert Kevin) are off to a wedding?

Frank and Mary Edwards.

Margaret Farrell, cousin Sr. Marie Edwards (daughter of Frank and Mary Edwards (nee Fisher) with Aunty Kit Fisher, sister of Mary and Helen Farrell (nee Fisher)

Mary Edwards (nee Fisher) b. 1891 was the sister of Helen (Nell) Farrell.

Emmaville cottage was the original home for James (Jas.) Farrell and his family. Then in 1925, Bob and Nell Farrell. In the early 1950s rented out to Rigney family, then Jim and Alma raised their family there, and finally Mark and Keiren roomed there in the 1970s and 80s. It became a store room later for Waratahs. It was finally restored and moved to the Orange Botanic Gardens in the second decade of the 2000s.

Eric Rigney worked at the Orange Lands Office with Margaret Love (nee Farrell). When he was looking for accomodation for his family, he was offered the Old House at Emmaville which he then rented for several years. Robert Kevin (Bob) Farrell ended up buying bthe car in the photo from Eric.

Paul Rigney was the son of Eric Rigney who rented the Old House in around 1952 after he took up a position with the Dept of Agriculture as a Herd Recorder, based in Orange. Their family had moved from Bathurst to Orange and almost certainly rented the Old House because Margaret made him aware it was available to rent.

Paul Rigney was the son of Eric Rigney who rented the Old House in around 1952. The Rigneys moved in in March/ April 1952. They were ther for 2 years. In Eric's records is a transaction "Purchase of lino 10/7/1952 - 18 pounds 6 pence ". It is reasonable to assume the lino purchased was for Emmaville Cottage, probably in lieu of rent.

Margaret Love (nee Farrell) with her cousin Joan Farrell at Joan's investiture to the Sisters of St. Joseph in Perthville.

Helen Farrell (nee Fisher) near the packing shed during winter snow at Emmaville, note sapling walls

1952 is a guess. This is the old packing shed in snow. Note the wattle sapling walls. These were later replaced with tin - hence guess of the date.

Sister Joan Farrell b. 1927 (Ted b. 1893 and Coral Quinn's daughter b. 1905) with Kate Farrell and Helen Farrell (nee Fisher).

From Marg. Farrell's notes. Sr Joan Farrell, centre with from left, Aunt Kath & Nada, Aunty Kate Farrell & Nell Farrell nee Fisher at Perthville.I am unsure of Kath and Nada'ssurnames.

Bob and Jim spraying the orchard via the horse drawn spray. This stayed in use well into the 1960s but changed to tractor pull.

Bob left (Robert Kevin Farrell b.1927) spraying in the orchard with his brother Jim (James Joseph b.1931). The horse draw spray cart was later converted to a tractor pull. The vat took an hour to empty and only sprayed a few hundred trees.

I believe this is Uncle Jack (John Thomas) Farrell on the right with Bob (Robert Kevin) Farrell behind the horse drawn spray cart.

Person not recognised by caption writer. Would be a cousin. Perhaps one of Ted Farrell's boys.

I am fairly sure this is BobFarrell posing with his dog at Emmaville. Bob is perhaps 25.

I believe this is Jim behind the horsedrawn plough. There is a chance this is Bob but given this was in Jim's photo collection I think it more likely to be Jim.

Mick Farrell and family Aunty Phil Peter Pat and Terry. Mary is not in the photo. About this time, Mary had joined the Sisters of St Joseph at Perthville.

One of Margaret Farrell's old photos. May have been taken on her cousin's property Girrawheen in Tumburramba but that is a guess.

Bob dressed for a game of tennis. Bob (dob 1927) played at St Joey's Tennis Club and this is where he and Marlene Kind knew each other. Guessing photo is around 1953 or 1954.

Guessing this is around late1954. On this occasion, Bob and Marlene went to Sydney to purchase an engagement ring.
