On This Day 17 November Adelaide Ironside was born - she was connected to William Leaf of Park Hill, Streatham
Adelaide Eliza Scott Ironside (17 November 1831 – 15 April 1867) was an Australian artist. Three of her paintings were donated to Australian national collections, but in 1888 they were in "a shed". They were then in Sydney University and "The Marriage at Cana" is at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Bob Flanagan of the Friends of West Norwood Cemetery writes:
She was the daughter of James Ironside (1803–1866), an accountant, and Martha Rebecca, née Redman. In April 1855 she and her mother sailed for London, where they stayed at Park Hill, Streatham, home of William Leaf (1791– 1874).

Her paintings The Marriage in Cana of Galilee, St Catherine, and The Pilgrim of Art were shown at the 1862 Great Exhibition in London.Sadly, Adelaide died of tuberculosis in Rome on 15 April 1867. According to research by Jill Poulton in the 1980s, William Leaf arranged for her body to be brought to London and for storage in the Catacombs at Norwood prior to shipping to Australia
