My great, great grandparents were James and Sarah Egan. We know that they lived/worked at Molka Station at the time that Peter Fryer owned the run. Sarah gave birth to a son, who lived for one day. He died 4 Oct 1864 and the witnesses were Peter Thompson (friend), Peter Fryer and Elizabeth Fryer. James Egan and Peter Fryer were both ex-convicts..,perhaps the connection. We believe that Peter and Elizabeth Fryer named their daughter after our Sarah, who sadly died in 1865, aged 35 years. Baby Peter was buried at the Molka Station. Rosie
