It is as far as I can tell quite a sad feeling as to Mary's treatment .She married Victor Cirone Rothville around 1911 in ascot vale and gave birth tom my nanna Rachel rothville. Victor went to WW1 and during this time Mary was incarcerated in the Sunbury asylum for the mentally insane. I have not been able as yet to ascertain why but I'm told that women were often locked up there for things like post natal depression or minor brushes with the law.Anyway she died there in 1918 at the age of 30. This hell hole of a place was just that they were tortured etc etc beyond belief.Rachel her daughter age 5 was adopted out to the white family of Essendon who were jewellers. I don't believe they ever seen each other again.Victor Rothville returned from the war and remarried and denied in court that Rachel was even his.In those days adoption meant nobody could be contacted from then on.
