Biography

Amy Emily Discombe Sparrow was born on 13 December 1873. She had red hair when young always in ringlets. She was well educated and sailed to England when aged 19 travelling by herself, and stayed with an uncle, a minister, in the south. She went as a governess to the property of her future husband's younger sister at Thackeringa. She married (Joseph) William Carne, in 1911. Possibly William Carne was the manager there and she the governess when they married. William was born at Menindie in 1879, the son of Joseph William Carne, overseer of an adjoining property called Hillston Station, of 40,000 acres about 30 miles from Broken Hill, and later called Montana, about 1911. They continued to live at Thackaringa Station, (perhaps later moving to manage nearby Hillston Station?). Amy died 22 May 1962. Joseph died 8 October 1922 aged 43. [letter from Connie Carne 1983] Amy lived at Hillston until about 1955 when she moved to live with her son Walter at Bundanoon. [email fom granddaughter Pat ] Her son Bill stayed on at Hillston. The property passed into the hands of Mary Biggs by 1980, and was renamed Montana.
