Notes for NANCY DOLLY GOLDMAN:
l The story goes .....As a child she was sitting on a flat rock watching her mother, Sarah, do the wash. She was butted by a billy goat and injured her head. She was never the same and considered "slow". In the photographs that exist of her, she looks like she may have had "Downs Syndrome", but there is also evidence of a neck injury. Sarah would have been 38 when she gave birth to her which indicated that she was not to old.
l Dolly had one suitor which Sarah chased off with a frying pan. She died at the age of 34.
