[NI0880] Submitted by Maggie Galley daughter of Mollie I remember my mother coming into my room one morning when I was about 8 years old, to tell me that her mother had died. She was crying. I did not have very much contact with Mary Josephine Delaney but I felt sad because my mother was sad. I was always curious about my grandfather Dennis Delaney. Mum did not speak of her father and when I asked about him she said that he had died. He remained a mystery to all of us until we finally made contact with his family in 1978. My mother had a close relationship with all of her sisters. She had a particularly close relationship with Vera her younger sister. By way of describing the closeness my brother Desmond related this story that was shared between the Anderson (Vera's) and Galley (Mollie's) household. Vera, Charlie, Harry and Mollie were not averse to having the occasional bet with a local SP bookie. Apparently the story goes that they started to accrue a debt to this local SP bookie and discussed a way of paying off their debt. Vera, Mollie, Charlie and Harry decided they would bet whatever spare money that they had on a particular horse that was racing that day. Charlie and Harry would be charged with the responsibility of putting the bet on. There is some confusion whether it was the "Trots" or the "Races" for those who understand the intricacies of gambling options. This fact doesn't really matter however the outcome does. Vera and Mollie waited at home with the children and listened to the radio and were filled with delight and were ecstatic, when as they listened to the race they heard their horse won. Apparently the odds were very good and knew with such a win that all their troubles were over. Unbeknown to Vera and Mollie, Charlie and Harry had met an old friend out at the track. This friend told them the surest bet of the day. They in their wisdom decided to place all of the money they had on the tip that they had received at the track, believing it to be a more reliable bet. This "sure thing" did not win. You can only imagine what wailing and gnashing of teeth occurred when Charlie and Harry finally returned home with the news of their changed plans and their loss. The Delaney sisters met regularly in the city for lunch. When we were with them we wondered how they managed to hear what each other was saying be cause more often than not there would be more than one sister speaking at the same time. It was bedlam. During the school holidays one of our favourite outings was heading into the city and having lunch at Hyde Park with all of our auntie's and cousin's. We had fun chasing the pigeons, while some of the more daring cousins went swimming in the Archibald Fountain. Other memories of my childhood of our extended family was our weekly visits to our cousins' home in Crow's Nest to watch the Sunday movie on T V. It was the home of Vera and Charlie Anderson. My father was an employee of Charlie for a period of time so we had a lot of contact with them. We occasionally had picnics down at Lane Cove National Park with all of the extended family. Also many a trip to Curl Curl beach on the back of the Anderson truck. My mum was terribly upset at Vera's sudden premature death. Vera was only 58 years old when she died. Vera was so lively, full of life and had a wonderful sense of humour. My mum loved being with Vera and laughed a lot about all the antics that Vera got up to. My mum then had to cope with the sudden death of Harry her husband. I don't have much memory of my mum expressing her feelings much. She was a person who just seemed to accept whatever happened and went on with her life. My mum went on a Queensland holiday with her sister, Annie and her husband Baden Arkell after Harry's death. Mum would get Annie to make clothes for her. Annie who was the eldest sister died some years later and my mum was also very sad. Annie was the dressmaker of the family she obviously followed in her own mother's footsteps. Nellie was then mum's only surviving sister and my mum took every opportunity to spend time with her. Nellie moved up to Katoomba so this was also an opportunity for my mum to have little holidays away from her own home. When Nellie died my mum was the only surviving Delaney girl and she felt real sad. She missed her sisters. She died after a brief illness heart related 10 May 1987 on Mother's Day.
