  Theodora Josephine NISSEN (known as Josephine Elsa or Josie) (daughter of Hans Johannes Trules NISSEN and Josephine ROLLINSON) was born 29 October 1904, Sydney, NSW. She was about 6 when her mother died and was sent with her brother, Colin, to live in Adelaide with a family named Trudinger. After some years there she returned with Colin to NSW to live with two maiden aunts in the Ebenezer, Pitt Town area. This was not a real happy time in her life. While there she lived next door to Rev David Russel BAIRD, a Presbyterian minister, and his wife Margaret nee Kennedy. They had a son, Keith Kennedy BAIRD, who had been born in 1898 at Dungog, NSW. When Josie grew up she moved to Charters Towers, Qld, near her sister and worked as a nurse. Eventually she met Keith again on a boat on Carillion harbour in Qld. They married on 26 May 1921 in Herberton, Qld. The Queensland register shows her as Josephine Elsa NISSER. Keith had studied chemistry at Sydney University. They had four children and adopted another one. The family moved to NSW living in various locations – Parramatta, Griffith, Moss Vale and Liverpool. Their oldest daughter, Joyce, was born in Atherton, Qld, where her father worked as a poultry farmer. She lives (2004) in a little village called Illabo and has six daughters. Josie and Keith’s daughter, Mrilwin, worked with the US Air Force during the war. Their son, David, died in 2002 of emphysema. He and his wife, Val, were bringing up some of their grandchildren at the time and he is sadly missed. Josie and Keith’s son, Keith, was a very good singer. He was killed as a result of a car accident, travelling home from a work trip for the P.M.G. in country NSW, leaving a pregnant wife. Josie’s adopted son, Eric JAMES, was accidentally drowned in a water channel while working for the Sydney Water Board. Ruth JONES nee CALDWELL met her aunt Josie in about 1960 in Parramatta while holidaying in Sydney. Josephine Elsa BAIRD, late of Moorebank, died at Liverpool, NSW, aged 75, on 3 July 1979 and was buried at Pine Grove cemetery, Eastern Creek. Her husband, Keith, died in 1983.
