Lightoller Photographs
The next photo is from Nora M-P's album and labelled 'Mrs Lightoller, 9 September 1879'. Maria Theresa (Minnie) Haly (1854-1911) married Dr Harry Martin Lightoller that year.1) Minnie Haly was Matilda M-P's niece and Thomas B. M-P's aunt as well as future mother-in-law. 2)
Dr Henry Lightoller: Minnie's husband, Dickie's father, and eminent Brisbane doctor.3)
As outlined on the Memories of Fassifern Facebook Page (27 April 2022) Dr Lightoller was also a talented artist who exhibited his paintings (mainly watercolours) with the Queensland Art Society. The following photo shows him teaching a young woman, possibly (from the profile likeness), one of his daughters.4)
Henry and Minnie Lightoller had two daughters. The next photo is of Minnie Lightoller and her younger daughter, Minnie Rose, in the 1890s.5)
'Dickie' Lightoller.6) The two girls in the next photo are probably the sisters, Dickie and Minnie Lightoller.7)
This unidentified photo is perhaps Dickie M-P or Minnie Palmer (nee Lightoller) or their mother. This next photo too looks like one of the Lightoller women. Can you help to identify them?
