Hello My name is Wayne Oldfield I live in Moonta Mines with Anne

 

I am a desendant of Dolly Dalrymple

 

Many of today’s Tasmanian Aboriginal community are descendants of two Aboriginal women - Fanny Cochrane Smith and Dolly Dalrymple.Dolly Dalrymple lived from 1812 until 1864. She was one of the first children born in Tasmania with an Aboriginal mother, Worrete-moete-yenner, and a European father. She was adopted by a white family

and grew up in Launceston.

 

Google their story.

 

She met and was eventually allowed to marry a freed convict named Thomas Johnson and together they farmed at Dairy Plains.

 

In about 1847 Dolly and Thomas moved to Latrobe, where I was born in 1950,where they prospered in a timber business and became owners of large areas of land.

 

Dolly andThomas raised 10 children many of whose descendants live in the north-west of Tasmania today.
