Here's a interesting corner of the Kirkwood kingdom: Kirkwood Drive in Sydney. It's named after William Love Kirkwood, brother of our grandfather and sister of Aunt Peggy. He was a decorated military doctor who treated casualties from Gallipoli in the First World War. He emigrated from Ayrshire to Australia in 1906 to practice with his maternal uncles (both Kerrs). His grandson has just sent me William's biography.
Just realized the comments I posted a few days ago against the earlier post didn’t take for some reason ��. In summary: love, love, love the beach pic - it encapsulates so many happy memories. As for Kirkwood name places, I’ve got a few good urns I’ll post seperatly
ReplyDeleteDid I share this with you? It’s a T shirt and mug from Kirkwood Community college in Iowa. Not sure how well connected it is with the family tree, but who knows...
