Notes
As taken from ®4Contributed by her grand-daughter, June DeVere.
According to the Register of Births in the district of Creswick, Sarah, first-born child of Richard Gregg (then aged 26) and his wife Catherine (nee McKay) (then aged 24) was born at Cattle Station Hill on 13th, June, 1864 .. however, all her life she understood her birthday was on 15th. June and it was always celebrated on that day. As her father didn't register her birth until 11th. August that year, perhaps, in that more leisurely and casual age, a mistake in dates was made.
Sarah attended the Cattle Station Hill in the Creswick district where her teacher was Mr. Alex Gillan. She came, in her teens, with her parents and surviving brothers and sisters to Poowong, and had apparently finished her schooling by then.
Not much is really known about her at that time, but we can assume, as the eldest, her hands were full helping her mother with the younger ones ... and as so many died early, one imagines that there was much illness and stress to cope with ... and many difficulties with much illness and stress to cope with ... and many difficulties with doctors out of reach and medicines mainly of the "home-made" kind. (This incidentally was Aunty Femmie's hobby and Sarah had some faith in her remedies.)
Sarah was always fond of her family ... interested in their doings and perhaps as the oldest, she felt responsible for their well-being and was always willing to help.
I remember my Grandmother telling me, with sadness, of the death of Finley … killed while felling a tree, and of one of her special favourites, little "Marnet" (Annie Margaret) who died when eleven years of age … we think of rheumatic fever. I also remember her telling horrific snake stories … of how, one time, she grabbed a snake, crossing in front of her, by the tail, and killed it by cracking it like a whip! And when Nanna and Aunty Femmie were together and in the mood the snake stories came thick and fast!!!
Some time before her marriage, Sarah worked for a wealthy family in the Sydney Road area of Melbourne. It was during this period she became friendly with, and visited Mary and Dick Umbers of Hawthorn. On one such visit, when going through the living-room, she saw, as she thought, Dick lying asleep on the sofa, so in passing, she gave his hair a tug ... at which point a strange man sat up. Consternation! This turned out to be Frederick, batchelor brother of Dick, and down from Mallee property . From this began a romance, culminating a few years later in marriage … 4th. August 1896, at "Woodland Park", Poowong, the home of the brides parents.
