Rhoda: Her Life and Times: Berkshire to Cottesloe by Ken F Stewart

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

This is the story of the life and times of the author's great-grandmother, Rhoda Stewart (nee Bennett), from Brimpton Mill in Berkshire, Bangor in County Down, Clydebank in Scotland and Narembeen and Cottesloe in Western Australia.

Rhoda was born in 1857 and grew up in Berkshire. In 1881, she married Andrew Stewart in Bangor. Their five children were born and raised in Scotland, and they sailed to Western Australia by 1913, where they pioneered a farm in Narembeen in the Wheatbelt. Two of her sons were lost in the First War, and the family farm was lost during the 1929 Depression. The family retired to Cottesloe.
