This collection of photographs are connected to the Condon family originally of Jamberoo. They were grouped together in a collection belonging to a descendant.
In 1833 James Condon (1801-1881) married Mary Murphy (1814-1871) and they raised a large family at Jamberoo. Many stayed in the Jamberoo area but others moved further afield so these photographs may be from various places.
The identity of many of the people is not known so please leave a message below or contact me if you recognise anyone. Any information known is noted on the captions or alongside the images.
