Notes
Biographical information provided by Stefanie Lash, Archives New Zealand, for the He Tohu exhibition:
There are two people called Euphemia Brydie who this could be, a mother and a daughter. This is probably the mother (Euphenia Imrie) as the daughter signed using her first name.
Euphemia Imrie, born 1842 in Scotland, married Alexander Brydie in 1865. They had five children: James, Alexander, Robert, Margaret, and Euphemia. After migrating to New Zealand the family lived at Clark’s Flat, Tuapeka.
The younger Euphemia was born in 1871, and died in 1956, aged 85.
