15.01.2022 Its 1st June! Its Miss Traills mothers birthday! Gertrude Emily Lee was born on 1st June 1861 in Bathurst as the eldest of 11 children of George and Emily Lee. Gertrude married Harold George Traill on 6 February, 1883 at Kelso. They had two children George Windeyer Traill and Ida Gertrude Traill. In 1932, Mrs Gertrude Traill and her daughter Ida rented 321 Russell Street, Bathurst, purchasing it in 1937. When Miss Traill died in 1976, she left the house and its contents to the National Trust. We are so lucky to have this museum treasure in Bathurst.
