Helping to connect families 2

Elizabeth Thompson:

To connect to Christopher MacRae, Wagga Wagga

Hello Allan,

Sorry I missed your clan meeting at Glen Innes new it was on but didn’t know when.

I’m sending this to you as I’m a direct descendant of a Christopher MacRae & Ellen/ Elena Noble.

My Grandmother was the eldest born to them. Her name was Christina MacRae born 21st Jan 1880 at Wallenbeen she had lots of siblings. Unfortunately I never got to know her as she passed away before I was born; she married my grandfather James Madden, son of Thomas Madden & Catherine Madden, nee Harrington from Tipperary Ireland.

Nana had lots of family I guess she had too many as my mum never spoke of them much but her Sister aunty Faith kept up to date with most of them.

I think there was a disagreement when my grandfather died in 1918 in Barrangary, her uncle Farquhar did a injustice when she needed help as nana something to with the property....

Anyway I look forward to hearing from you.

What I want to know is, if you can help me I’m trying to find out about Christopher MacRae mostly about his wife Elena /Ellen/ Noble Wagga Wagga.

I have just seen some nice old Photos of some MacRaes at Redfern the one who was married to a lowesby.... and a very young Catherine I MacRae. Sister Michael she was Nanas younger sister.
