We live within sight of St. Margaret's Church, Risdon Cove, in the Homestead built by Richard Cleburne, who, we believe, funded the building of St. Margaret's. One of his daughters, Eleanor, who died at Newtown, left an annuity to the church. Cleburne's second wife, Harriet, and two of his daughter by her, Louisa and Emma, are bured side by side in at St. Margaret's. Their stones are faded and mossy. The street adjacent to the cemetary is Cleburne Street. I am compiling a history of the Cleburne property, which I am posting (slowly) on our blog attached to our website www.visitcleburne.com.au I am happy to pass on anything useful, and learn everything I can.
