Yes we are related Hannah is my great grandmother. Dairy was in Leichhardt now lilyfield, my father was Keith, I think slyvia was his Aunt?
I grew up in Piper street Leichhardt in the 1940’s and spent many hours playing in Kincade Park park where the dairy use to be. I knew that a dairy used to be there but it was gone just before my time. Lilyfield started at the tram terminus on the bridge at the bottom of Catherine Street.
