Aunt Lottie.

"Forget me not is all I ask, one simple boon of thee, and let it be an easy task to sometimes think of me."

I love the inscription on my Great Great Aunt Lottie’s headstone.

Alexander Mackay.

My Great Great Grandfather Alexander Mackay & his five children - Elizabeth, Alice, Eva, Lottie & Archie. I'd say this photo was taken in the late 1920's or during the 1930's before Alexander died in 1937.

They married in 1885 at Nambucca, NSW. They had 6 children - the 2nd being my Great Grandmother Eva. Elizabeth died during the birth of her youngest child, her namesake, Elizabeth Lucilla Mackay.

I found this photo last week. It is the first photo I have ever seen of them together, and of Elizabeth. Just beautiful! I'm unsure whether this photo is of their wedding.
