A tree on Ancestry has a photo of her standing smiling, with a rifle in her hands, and one foot on a dead deer.

Apparently the back of the photo says " Love to Ethel and Jack taken by our Place - notice all the Bush"

She does look as if she could be in her thirties - hard to tell.
Ethel is Ada's sister, and married John (presumably Jack) Holmes in 1922 - so the photo is probably taken after that.

However, apart from the photo, the tree doesn't list anything about her after 1901.

Ada was one of TEN daughters! There's a photo of the parents and all ten girls.

I know of two people who used to be on genes who I think are now on ancestry. The photos were sent to them by me. I can’t add photos to my tree as I don’t have the know how.
Because the photo has taken by “our place”made me wonder if Ada did get married out there or was it at the place where she worked. A secret now gone to the grave unfortunately.

Not only did they have 10 daughters they had just 1 son born 1897 who died in infancy.

1 daughter Alice was run over by a tram as a child near to where they lived and one of her legs had to be amputated. She lived until she was 28. I have a photo of her in a wheelchair.

Thank you for being helpful.
