Description

A wheelwright, William Spelman lived with his wife, Mary Fay, on a small farm near the Ballynagrenia bog in Co. Westmeath - part of the Irish midlands. Moate was the nearest town. They had at least two sons and six daughters born between 1829 and 1850. During the great hunger, though better situated than many thousands of starving peasants, they lost a young daughter (Annie) to small pox. The future looked bleak on all fronts. With a million others, most of the surviving Spelman children left Ireland in the mid-19th century. One by one they migrated individually - two went to the US, two daughters went to Australia and the younger son went off to Argentina - where sheep farmers were in great demand. Two daughters (one of whom married) faithfully remained at home with their aging parents. We traced the movements of three of the migrants and recorded their activities and many descendants. Commencing in 1971, the author visited and interviewed descendants in Ireland and Australia. In Victoria, we see the sisters, Rose and Ellen, during the gold rush, nurturing their young families, and struggling through the 1890s depression. The impact of the Great War further devastated Rose's widowed daughter, Sarah. We observe the early descendants' skilled work, farm and business development and community activity. We see their participation as sport, secondary and tertiary education evolved and delivered today's modern lifestyle - one that our hardy pioneers could scarcely have imagined. The book is illustrated with stories and over 200 photographs generously shared by devotees of the various families' history. It complements the Spelman genealogy branch in the 'Reed Family (Bristol)' family tree which can be found at Ancestry.com.
