- Notes: The other problem with her "evidence" is that she, unlike your mother was an orphan, losing both her parents. Her mother Beatrice (Atkinson) died when she was very young in a typhoid epidemic. Her father remarried but within a short time was killed in a mine accident. The step mother now without a bread winner was left with two young children who were not her own and apparently did not cope too well. This lead to a famous family story where (Great) Grandma Atkinson made an epic journey (including a stagecoach section) to snatch the children. However she herself was doing it pretty tough and couldn't cope with two extra mouths to feed so my mother was kept and raised with her uncles and aunts (she regarded them as brothers and sisters.) Her brother Les was adopted by a wealthy family and he did pretty well for himself. He got a university education (apparently brilliant and a superb athlete) and became a school teacher. He was principal of the high school at Sarina for many years.
