Story

Eva was born in Perth on 23 October 1905. She was the third child of Margaret and Peter, and the oldest to reach adulthood. She was born Eve Anglia Reid but was known as Eva. In later years she used the family name Zambellas.2,1,3
 
Early Life 
It is believed that a number of Margaret and Peter's children were looked after by Margaret's sister Johanna.4
 
Home of the Good Shepherd
Eva might have been placed with the Home of the Good Shepherd in Perth. She was very fond of the sisters and stayed on there.4
 
She is shown as 'assistant' in the electoral rolls for 1943, but from then until 1980, no occupation is shown.3,5
 
Home of the Good Shepherd (for 'Destitute Women and Girls')
Home of the Good Shepherd (for 'Destitute Women and Girls') was established in 1902, in Perth. It housed women and girls who were sent by the Police Court. In 1904, the Home of the Good Shepherd moved to Leederville, and included an orphanage school. After 1914, pregnant women were sent to the St Vincent's Foundling Home (later, St Margaret's Hostel section) to have their babies. An industrial school opened alongside in 1909. The facility closed in the 1970s and now houses the Catholic Education Office.

Between 1904 and 1979, the Home of the Good Shepherd was located on a 40 acre block of land fronting Ruislip Street, Leederville (now 50 Ruislip Street).6
 
Contact with Victorian Family 
Eva, Greta and Maurice had contact with their Victorian family. Eva and Maurice stayed with their cousin Eileen Haddock's son Ken in Melbourne during a holiday in the early 1960s.4
 
Eva Reid/Zambellas died in Wembley, Western Australia on 11 October 1989, aged about 84. This is close to the former home of the Sisters of Good Shepherd.2,7
