Rosalie Drury

Inscription

In memory of Rosalie Drury who lived in Benjamin Street.

Andrew Behan researched Rosalie Drury and presented us with a problem. A mother and daughter shared that name and both lived in Benjamin Street for many years. Rosalie Snr had just the one child and Rosalie Jnr had no children so we think it most likely that the tree was planted by Jnr in memory of Snr, but we may have this wrong - it could have been planted by someone else in memory of Jnr.
