Life Summary

Daisy Vera Latter was born at Mannum on the River Murray on 11 April 1886, the second child of Richard Pelling Latter and Esther Farrow.

She married Harold Peryman Wishart at Unley Park, Adelaide, on 3 October 1914. They had three children: Alison Mary (1916), Rodger Peryman (1920), and David (1922). The family later moved to Victoria, settling in the Bayside area of Melbourne.

Her son Rodger was killed in 1944 when his Lancaster was shot down over Kolhorn in the Netherlands — one of the two WWII losses carried in this Farrow descendant line.

Daisy died in 1963, in the Sandringham/Hampton area of Melbourne.
