"Kirkby & Emery Family: Australian Settlers is a detailed family history by Raymond Alfred Norman Kelly, tracing the Kirkby and Emery families from their English origins to their establishment in colonial New South Wales. The earliest members of this family group arrived in Australia in 1801 and 1809, placing them among the settlers of the colony's formative decades. Kelly records the circumstances of their arrival and the challenges they faced while establishing new lives in a largely undeveloped country. Published in Canberra by Harland Marketing Services and printed by Pirie Printers, this undated first edition appears to date from around 1990, when Australia had recently entered its third century of European settlement. The author presents the history as both a record of family achievement and a tribute to the endurance, enterprise and sacrifices of earlier generations. A specialised and likely small-print-run Australian genealogical work, it is presented here in its original unclipped dustjacket."
