Downes Family Reunion
In November 2006 the Downes Family celebrated the 150th Anniversary of the arrival of Ellen Byrnes (nee Downes) to Victoria.
Ellen was the second member of the Downes Family to arrive, her sister Bridget having arrived in Australia three years prior to this.
It seemed an appropriate time for the entire Downes family to come together, for this reason it was decided to meet in Yarrawonga/ St.James on the weekend of the 28th and 29th October 2006.
An enoyable weekend was had by the 300 descendants who attended.
Good news! The Downes Family History is all but complete - hopefully it will go to print in the next few weeks. We will be in touch.
