After my trip to Wagragobilly Cemetery (see post here ) I wanted to know more about the people who’s finally resting place I had visited. The first one I wanted to know more about was Mrs. Thomas Quirk. What was was/is her first name? I had a really strong desire to know this and thankfully the ability to find it out. Her name was/is Catherine, although it seems she went by Kate as that is the name on her marriage registration, the birth registrations of her children and on her teaching records. Yes, Kate had been a teacher and her last teaching position had been at Wagragobilly Public School. I have been able to find out the following about Kate’s teaching career. In 1876 she was appointed a teacher at Huon Prov. School. Then in 1877 she moved to Lacmalac Public School and stayed there until she was moved to Wagragobilly Public School in 1882. She put in her resignation from teaching in June 1884 and it was accepted. Source: EDUCATION APPO...
