Mary May Brice's
Friends Book
Below are photos of the pages of a small little book owned by my Grandmother, Mary May Brice. Mary was born in 1887 in Port Adelaide.
On the pages of the book are words and signatures of friends or people Mary may have just met that day. They nearly all happen between 1911 and 1914 and Mary was living in Adelaide at this time, but did have a brief spell living in Melbourne in 1912.
Two of the pages refer to what appears to be musical groups she belonged to, "the Sympathy Club 1911" and the "Forget Me Not Club" and on those pages it lists the names and roles of people.
I am sharing these photos because perhaps one of the people mentioned may be an ancestor of yours and it will share perhaps a little of their life to you.
(I've attempted to index/list their names at the bottom of this page.)
