This is my great grandmother Joanna Begbie Bradshaw [nee Miller] on the left.

Next to her is her sister Christina [the dressmaker] and her other sister whose name I can't remember. Joanna was the one in Mum's story who won the Red Cross commendation for the most pairs of socks knitted in one month - 30 pairs and that in the heat of Cairns, North Queensland.
