  • Notes 
    • AMANCAY on CERRO OTTO, Bariloche, Argentina.
      AMANCAY (Peruvian Lilies) grow wild on this hillside. My mother bought the painting after we had spent a holiday in Bariloche in 1945.
      Mary Petty had been at scheool in England with the O'Kelly aunts, maybe Kel or Nokes. She went back to Argentina where her father Dr Perry was instrumental in getting Eileen Cornish to take over a school (Belgrano Girls School) in Buenos Aires, 1921, which eventually became known as 'Mrs Youngs'.
      Eileen O'Kelly met Charles Young on the voyage, and they married in 1922.
      ~~~
      Notes from Nell Atkin in 2013:
      There were a variety of schools in BA:
      Belgrano Girls School (Mrs Youngs), at St Margaret's
      Boys school - Buenos Aires English High School (still there, right next door to Belgrano Girls School)
      Also Belgrano Day School (Mr Greens)
      Other schools included St Hildas, Hurlingham (Polo Club there) - 3 stops down, they though they were very superior to Belgrano Girls School - very posh!
    • 1891 census: In Chipping Norton

      1901 Census record: Pupil at District Private Boarding School, aged 15

      Recorded as arriving from New York into Southampton on the Majestic (White Star Dominion Line) 18th May 1911 - would have been about 25 at the time.
