| Description | Always My Sister tells the true story of Margaret Reardon, through the eyes of her sister Sophia Aldwell. Reardon, an Irish immigrant, unwillingly found herself in the middle of one of early Auckland's most notorious crimes, the 1847 triple murder at Devonport of Lieutenant Robert Snow, his wife, and child, by Margaret's common law husband, Joseph Burns. Joseph Burns was publicly hanged for his crimes on the Devonport foreshore, having travelled by cart down Queen Street sitting in his coffin, and then taken across the harbour. | |||||||||||||||||||
