Bomaderry couple Emma and Andrew McDuff have welcomed their first child – Ellie Mae McDuff.
The little girl was born at Shoalhaven District Hospital on Tuesday, October 30 weighing 3.55 kilograms.
She is a granddaughter for Sue and the late Robert Bailey, of Kiama and Carolyn and Jim McDuff, of Flinders.
By sheer coincidence, proud grandmother Sue was at the hospital when journalist Robert Crawford arrived to take photographs of the new arrivals.
She had brought with her the photo which appeared in a 1983 edition of the Kiama Independent, following Emma’s birth at Kiama Hospital.
Robert was quick to include the original photograph of Emma’s birth announcement, together with the three generations of women.
