Euphemia Hardie, was the fourth child and second daughter of <strong><ac:link><ri:page ri:content-title=\"William Hardie 1833\" /><ac:link-body>William Hardie</ac:link-body></ac:link> and Jessie Stoddart</strong> and Jessie Stoddart, was born on 9 October 1861 in Gladsmuir, East Lothian.</p>\n\n<p>Little

Little is known of Euphemias life between 1861 and 1879. Euphemia emigrated to Australia with the family aboard the Oaklands which arrived in Adelaide, South Australia on 23 September 1879. Immigration records give her age at the time as 17.</p>\n\n<p>Euphemia

Euphemia was first married on 18 April 1881, at age 20, to <strong>Thomas Sullivan</strong> Thomas Sullivan. Thomas was from Cork in Ireland, there is no further information about his family. The marriage took place in the Adelaide South Australia. Her sister Christina Hardie was a witness.</p>\n\n<p>Euphemia

Euphemia and Thomas Sullivan travelled to the Flinders Ranges to work on the land. It is uncertain whether Thomas recieved a land grant, or whether he was a station manager of Willipa Station. Life out there was very hard. Many settlers, including Thomas and Euphemia started farming the area after a few years of exceptional rainfall, but soon afterward the area had become too dry to sustain farming in the long term. The family lived out there for 6 to 8 years.</p>\n\n<p>Euphemia

Euphemia Hardie and Thomas Sullivan had the following children:</p>\n\n<ul>\n   <li><strong>Jessie Willipa Sullivan</strong> born

• Thomas William Sullivan - Born. 1 October 1888. m Ann Reid (nee White) 8 January 1923 d. 19/12/1942 buried

• Brisbane

It appears that Thomas deserted the family some time around 1889, and then died on 10 Jun 1890. There are limited details on his death certificate, possibly meaning that it seem that the informant didn\'t know him well. When he died his occupation was given as Barman.</p>\n\n<p>Euphemia

Euphemia left a widow, started working as a charwoman. She entered Adelaide Hospital 16/12/1890 for reasons unknown. Just after this, she relocated to Queensland to be nearer her family. Oral history suggests that upon her arrival, she gave her youngest daughter to one of her brothers to be raised. One other possibility is that Euphemia Adelaide Hardie died some time before the family arrived in Brisbane.</p>\n\n<p>By

By 1892 Euphemia was living in Spring Hill. Euphemia appears to have had a number of liaisons in the following years giving birth to two more children, she gave both of the children the surname Sullivan.</p>\n\n<p>Euphemia Hardie and <strong>William Wyatt</strong>

Euphemia Hardie and William Wyatt had one child:</p>\n\n<ul>\n <li><strong>William Edwin Sullivan</strong> b

William Edwin was raised by Euphemia\'s brother William.</p>\n\n<p>It  It appears that between 1893 and and 1899 Euphemia travelled to Far North Queensland living in Cooktown (it is believed she travelled via Normanton). She had returned to Brisbane by 1901 when she gave birth to another child. However her daughter Jessie remained there and married.</p>\n\n<p>Euphemia

Euphemia Hardie and Charles Mockton had one child:</p>\n\n<ul>\n    <li><strong>Florence May Sullivan</strong> - b

• Florence May Sullivan - Born. 13 May 1901 Enoggera Queensland ; m. Charles White, 27 November 1921 Swan Hill.

• Queensland

Whilst May's marriage certificate gives her father as Charles Mockton there is no father on the birth certificate. May\'s appearance suggested a Chinese father, so it may be that Charles was only Euphemias \ 'adopted\' father.</p>\n\n<p>Euphemia

Euphemia remain in the Brisbane area after that, moving to Ipswich some time in the 1920\'s, where she lived in a cottage behind May\'s house. Sometime in the 1940\'s she moved to Sandgate where she died on 2 February 1948. </p>',557325,2),(786647,'h1. George E Hardie (1871 - 1945)\r\n\r\nGeorge E Hardie is the youngest child and 4th son of William Hardie and Jessie Stoddart. He was born in Gladsmuir, East Lothian, Scotland on Nov 3 1871. \r\n\r\nHe married Joan Kitching\r\n\r\n\r\n* [Douglas James Hardie|Douglas James Hardie 1917]\r\n\r\n',557327,0),(786648,'h1. George E Hardie (1871 - 1945)\r\n\r\nGeorge E. Hardie, the fourth son and the eighth and youngest child of William Hardie and Jessie Stoddart. He was born on 3 November 1871 in Gladsmuir, East Lothian.\r\n\r\nLittle is known about the families movements during the period from 1871 to 1879. In 1879 George emigrated to Australia with the rest of the family (minus Christina & William). They travelled aboard the Oakland, which arrived in Adelaide, South Australia on 23 September 1879. Immigration records give his age at the time as 7.\r\n\r\nGeorge travelled to [Maryborough|Maryborough Qld] with the rest of the family some time after 1881.\r\n\r\nGeorge Hardie was married on 6 September 1899, at age 27, to *Joan Kitching*. The marriage took place in St Matthews Church Howard, Wide Bay, Queensland. It was witnessed by Adam Kitching (Joans Brother) and Isabella Aitkin.\r\n\r\nJoan Kitching, the third child and eldest daughter of *[Joseph Charles Kitching|Joseph Charles Kitching 1852] and Lillias Cockburn*, was born on 15 February 1879 in Pentland Mains, Lasswade, Edinburugh. Joan was poorly educated, barely able to read or write, so it is likely she started working in the mines at an early age.\r\n\r\nGeorge and Joan produced eight children (4 boys and 4 girls):\r\n\r\n* George Hardie Born. 11 July 1900 Ipswich, Queensland ; Died. 22 February 1904.\r\n* Lillian Hardie Born. 25 April 1902 Ipswich, Queensland ; Married John McCrindle\r\n* David Hardie Born. 8 May 1904 Ipswich, Queensland ; Married.

Joans parents Joseph and Lillias had moved to Lindsay St, Bundamba in 1905. Lindsay St is near the present day location of the near the Bundamba Racecource. At the time of the 1906 census George and Joan were living with Joans parents at Lindsay St.\r\n\r\nIn the period from 1910 George worked as an Engine Driver. The engine driver runs the engine house. He is in charge of the winding engine.It is unknown whether he worked in his brothers mining operation, but this is quite likely, as many other members of the family did.\r\n\r\nSome time before 1917 George and Joan moved to Borehole Estate (near Bundamba) with the rest of the Hardie Family, where they built a house.\r\n\r\nGeorge was an active alcoholic until he found religion. He joined the Exclusive Brethren Congregation (which is quite a closed society) and never touched a drop of alcohol again. Apparently this new found religion caused a rift in the family. The nature of the Brethren church meant that George \'separated\' from his family, and from this point onward, he had only limited contact with his siblings.\r\n\r\nGeorge\'s children do not remember the family as being \"close\", but they do remember visiting the \'top Hardies\' - the family of John Stoddart Hardie, so called because they lived on top of the hill.\r\n\r\nGeorge E Hardie and Joan continued to live at the house on ? street until George\'s death in Ipswich General Hospital, Ipswich on 17 April 1945, he was 73. He was buried on 18 April 1945 in Ipswich Cemetery, Ipswich, Queensland. His death certificate indicates that he was buried by the Brethren minister - J McCrindle (his son in law) and witnesses to the burial were H J Marshal and O Kopelke\r\n\r\nJoan lived on at the family home until her death on 22 March 1951. Upon her death, the public curator distributed her estate, which totalled 410 pound 95. A total estate after funeral expenses and dispersements of £358 pounds 46 pence was split equally among 8 surviving children. Each child received £43 pounds, which had the equivalent purchasing of $? in 2002.\r\n\r\nAssociated Documents\r\n* Birth Certificate - George E Hardie\r\n* Electoral Records - (coming soon)\r\n* Census Records - coming soon\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n',557328,0),(786650,'',557330,0),(786652,
