My Trove Tuesday article for this week concerns my first cousin five times removed Rosa Dargan (nee Last) and my second cousin four times removed Mary Dargan (Rosa's daughter) and their overseas travels in 1932. Laurence Joseph Dargan had left them well provided for when he died in 1922, as he left an estate valued for probate at £93,217 with £10,000 held in trust until his daughter Mary was 21 (which she would have been in 1927) and the residue of his estate after bequests, being left to his wife Rosa.

Dublin city they love, and wrote from Cork, though they were to go back to Dublin. They had met his Lordship Bishop Dwyer, of Wagga, and reported that he was looking much the better for his trip.

One by one we hear of our trippers to the Congress turning their thoughts homeward, and looking to necessary berth bookings. Mrs R. Dargan, of Binalong, cabled last week that she and her daughter Mary may be expected home in early December. Back in London after the Congress they attended the Royal Garden Party on July 21st. It was a brilliant affair, as the day was perfect, the frocking of the ladies very gay, and the Palace Gardens were a delight to walk in.

Long, interesting letters from Mrs. R. Dargan and daughter Mary, tell of wonderful jaunts abroad. They fairly revelled in the scenic beauties of Norway, which to them could scarcely be equalled anywhere. Also they like Scotland for its solidity and its history, but at the time of writing they were enjoying Stratford-on-Avon and Shakespeare's home surroundings. They attended one of his plays, " A Winter's Tale," and the scenery and production were magnificent. They had just spent a very happy couple of weeks in the country home of Mr. and Mrs. McHale, in Worcestershire, their only taste of real country homelife in England, and it appealed very much to them. Their letter were from "The Red Horse Inn," an old coaching days' souvenir, and they sat on the chair occupied by Washington Irving. Also they visited Kenilworth. They were pleased to renew acquaintance with Miss Mary McHale, who, as you may remember, made many friends amongst us during the time she spent in Bondi, the guest of her uncle, Very Rev. Father M. Fitzpatrick, P.P., Mrs. and Miss Dargan expect to arrive by the Chitral the first week in December.
