All I heard was that it happened. Thank you for your visit.<br /><br />Betsy, Thank you for your kind words. I feel the dress ended in a Museum because they were an influencual Welsh family and the dress was well-made and preserved.

Burgus, It's nice to see big families.Thank you for dropping by.<br /><br />Nana Jo,Its strange that they didn't bother with always wearing white back then....A different time and place.I would have liked to write more on Ned but didn't wish to defer from Ellen. <br /><br />Sheri, I'm sorry you lost many of your photos. And I do believe with age we learn to appreciate them more. Bless you heaps.<br /><br />QueenMother Mamaw,Looking forward to seeing what you place on your page. Bless you.<br /><br />Pat, Yes I cannot imagine sewing a dress by hand I wonder who did it? Maybe the museum holds the answer. <br />Ned Kelly's father was a convicted felon from Ireland.They were a poor family and often stole livestock from surrounding properties.He wore armour when holding up travellers.He was only 25yrs old when hung in Melbourne. I think it's a sad story. He seemed to only steal from the rich.Sr Crystal Mary Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509227559164880311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179345863797404094.post-55663206095119159142010-05-08T13:06:20.913+10:002010-05-08T13:06:20.913+10:00fantastic photos, brown silk that looks so careful...fantastic photos, brown silk that looks so carefully stitched.
