We have successfully had a local park officially named after the Misses Laugher, Ada Mary, Rosie Underwood and Janie Underwood Laugher. The girls lived on a property which is now part of the park.

The signage in the park is being officially unveiled in September October (date actually yet to be decided). We are liaising with the local ward office of the Brisbane City Council.

The park is on the corner of Benson Street and High Street, Toowong.

I have been researching the girls’ family history with the assistance of some of the descendents of the Misses Laugher’s brothers, Frederick Valentine Laugher and James Laugher.

So far we haven’t managed to contact any descendents of Charles Underwood Laugher, particularly those of Charles Bertram Blackett Laugher and Linda Underwood Ducat (nee Laugher). We have an address for Noel Laugher’s brother-in-law but there are no direct descendents for him.
