'Euphemia' Mary MCDONALD (KERIN) was born in 1856 in Clare SA - Hill River Head Station. Euphemia's Mother is listed on her death certificate as Christina. This is incorrect
(Marie-jeanne Shaw) She was a Midwife. Euphemia was a "Sarah Gamp Nurse" . Otherwise known as a Mid-wife. I am not sure when she started this but Nana told me that she was the "little mother" while Euphemia worked. In Uncle David's Birth Certificate the Nurse present at the birth was "Nurse Kerin". Nana also told me that she had to throw any used water over the floors in the house, this hardened them so that the dust was lessened. (Marie-jeanne Shaw )
She was a in Broken Hill NSW - 177 Gaffney St in 1929. 'Euphemia' died on 31 March 1930 at the age of 74 in Broken Hill NSW.^1129,1130 She was buried on 1 April 1930 in Broken Hill NSW.^1131,1132 Grave : Broken Hill - CATH K 12¹¹³³ There is little anecdotal information about Euphemia although she has been acknowledged in passing by her grand children as a very 'proper' lady who always dressed in starched and stiff clothes. After Patrick died in 1897 it would have been a challenge raising her children many of whom were in their teenage years. The youngest however was born after her husband Patrick had died.

Parents: James Snr MCDONALD-14 and Margaret MCKASKILL (MCDONALD)-15.

Spouse: Patrick Thomas KERIN-12. 'Euphemia' Mary MCDONALD (KERIN) and Patrick Thomas KERIN⁹⁶⁸ were married on 1 September 1872 in Burra SA - St Joseph's Catholic Church.⁹⁶⁹ Marie-jeanne Shaw and Trent Niemann have noted that although married in 1872 Patrick's wife Euphemia's first child was born in 1877. It is a complete supposition but interesting nonetheless, that calculations from her death certificate regarding her age, indicate she was actually 16 yrs when married and not 21 as claimed on her marriage certificate. Maybe she married without her father's consent, was 'dragged home' and wasn't 'released' until she was 21 yrs. It may be coincidental but this age coincides with the commencement of her child-bearing. It is very unusual for a delay in child bearing of that order in those days.

James Fitzgerald (Brother in law to Patrick) was a witness to marriage.
An interesting historical aspect & today's re-connection.
Ellen Ryan also a witness: .. 21 yrs at Patrick's marriage.This reference to Ellen Ryan is only included for interest as a descendant also named Ellen Ryan lived in the Tiver Row cottages diagonally opposite the Miner's cottage owned subsequently by Sally Niemann a descendant of Patrick Kerin. Sally would find some spiritual meaning in her choosing to live in Burra and in an almost original miner's cottage as well !

"Mixed marriage" The history of the Irish suggests a deep hatred of any non-Catholics.In colonial Australia at least this it seems was not as clear as we are led to believe. While it is true that Catholics married Catholics almost exclusively in some parts of the colonies it was not always true. Indeed, some Catholics were even married in non-Catholic churches, by non-Catholic priests where there was no Catholic priest available. The same facts emerged in relation to the Germans in Bendigo.
One suspects that life was sufficiently demanding and remote that some of the questions regarding the luxury of bigotry and the lack of opportunity meant prejudices were put aside. Eras of Australian history are characterised by a breaking down of European traditions and today Australians are quite relaxed about 'mixed' marriages between religions and ethnic / cultural groups. There is more Chinese and Aboriginal blood running in Australian veins than is generally acknowledged ! The current negative response to Islamic adherents by other Australians is interesting. It is only a repeat of Australian history many times over in relation to especially the Irish, Chinese, Italians, Greeks etc etc ... Over time these cultures and religions blend into the landscape especially if there is a 'wave' of another cultural group. They become the new 'target' of our suspicions and distrust. It has always been thus but to date it has not resulted in widespread victimisation. Our record related to indigenous Australians is far worse. It must be said though a much more difficult 'assimilation'.
I'm not sure how James McDonald, a Scotsman, felt in 1872 about his daughter Euphemia, marrying a Catholic in a Catholic church. As it appears Euphemia was only 16 (claimed 21) our Patrick may have taken advantage of her naivity !
Given the influence of a mother in a family it is somewhat surprising that the love of Irish music by my Grandmother and her siblings and the on-going adherence to Catholicism, Euphemia must have adopted or at least given 'licence' to the Catholic tradition for it was passed on to her children and subsequently her grand children. Indeed Annie Kerin's children and grand children had a strong faith in the Catholic church. Almost all of Patrick Kerin's descendants would claim 'Catholic' as their religion.

As mentioned elsewhere, Patrick, Euphemia and the family probably moved to Silverton / Broken Hill prior to October 1888. The following was recorded at the official opening for the rail connection.

"The township itself would present a novel appearance to an English eye, but is without exception the vilest place I ever saw.

The habitations are principally wood or iron, and a good number reside under canvas. "

"I should dread spending a night in Broken Hill for, of course, the rough element strongly predominates, and was told as the night wore on it was pandemonium. A visit to Broken Hill Feb 1888 Edmund M Harral
