Notes - I worked for Len and Joan Brassil for 8 or 9 months in, I think 1961. They had a dairy farm just out of Berrigan and I did a bit of tractor driving and dairy releif for them. At that time they had three children Katie (eldest), Gregory and young Rodney. I noticed Rodney's death on your site. I visited them in 1972 and was told that Greg had been killed crossing the road at the bottom of their drive. Len's death was at a young age and I noticed two infants' deaths on your tree, I presume at or around birth - what a tragic outcome to what was an honest, hard working but struggling family.
I have attached a photograph taken around 1961. The young man on the left was an itinerant farm worker who Len and Joan had given work and shelter to.
