Notes From Elsewhere

Mary Frances Alicia Tench
Mary Tench wrote six works of fiction, three set at least partly in Australia, while a fourth, the children's book Madge and Her Friends (1881), has brief Australian reference. Tench's connection with Australia - whether she visited the country or was even, perhaps, born in Australia - is not known

Mary F.A. Tench was an amateur photographer active in the 1910s and 1920s. She took photographs in the West Indies, the Caribbean and India. While in England, Tench was based in London.
