Show all notes
Note	Emma was a tiny woman, but as tough as whipcord. She did most of the work of their Market Garden, and was evidently extremely skilful as a Gardener. Her grandson, Mr Thomas Smirk, proudly records that she grew swedes 4.5 to 5 pounds in weight, and sweet potatoes of 7 pounds. He also recalls that she found a few drops of laudanum a very useful soporific, to stop babies crying when work pressed outside. She herself frequently drove the horse and cart loaded with vegetables to the Market at Fremantle. Her daughter, Mrs Mary Burrows, the thirteenth in the Mortimer family, recalls one horrifying episode when her mother was away on such a mission. Her father also absent, fishing or Hunting, when one of the Younger bRothers caught fire and was very badly burnt. Not knowing what to do, the other children placed him in a tub and baled cold water over him. Tired as Mrs. Mortimer was when she returned home, she had to bundle him up and whip her Weary horse Back to Fremantle, to the nearest doctor. Amazingly, the boy, though badly sCarred, recovered, but became deaf in one ear. As soon as they grew old enough, the Mortimer girls helped their mother in the house and Garden, while the boys assisted their father in fishing, Hunting, and looKing after the cattle and sheep. (Rockingham looks Back, Nora Taggart, pg 86-87)
Note	John William Mortimer — View this family John and Emma took up land on Long Swamp in Hope Valley, adjoining that occupied by Mary and Angel de San Miguel. Here they lost no time in starting what was to be a very large family of nineteen children. Two of them died Young, but the remaining seventeen all grew up and Married. (Rockingham looks Back, Nora Taggart, pg 86)
