Ivy MARRIED on 5 JUN 1920 ROBERT RAMSEY FAIRBAIRN, school teacher, inspector. Robert and Ivy were married at St Stephen’s Presbyterian Church, Macquarie St, Sydney by John Ferguson with Cyril Bruce and Margaret Fairbairn as witnesses.
Robert, the son of Joseph FAIRBAIRN [blacksmith], and Selina CORBETT, was born 17 SEP 1891 Kelvin, Glasgow, Scotland and died 21 JUL 1972 Bundaberg, QLD.
As the elder daughter Ivy helped her mother with bringing up the family and so did not have an outside occupation. Robert and Ivy met in Maitland. They moved to “Fairlie” Fitzroy St TAMWORTH after they married as Robert had been transferred to Tamworth by then.
Because Robert worked for the Education Department he moved around quite frequently. At times he worked in the country districts while Ivy remained in the city so that their daughters could have a continuity of schooling themselves. As the daughter of a school teacher Ivy knew what it was like to be constantly changing schools and the continual need to make new friends knowing that soon they would move on yet again.
The family lived at 28 College St DRUMMOYNE (1925-30), but Robert was residing at 624 Griffith Street, ALBURY in 1930. Their next known address was “Kenya” Conway Avenue, ROSE BAY (1931-1933). In 1933 Robert was living at Tilga Street, CUDAL. Robert then transferred to GRIFFITH (1935-36) taking the family with him to live in the School Residence, However, Ivy and their daughters moved back to Sydney about 1936 so that their children could attend secondary schools.
In 1937 Robert, now a school inspector, was constantly traveling from school to school. He is on the electoral roll living at the Exchange Hotel, WAGGA WAGGA. Ivy settled with their daughters at 4 Piper House, Wunulla Road, EDGECLIFFE. Later the address was changed to 4/1a Longworth Avenue, POINT PIPER. The building was located on the corner of these two streets. In 1943 Robert was living at the Hotel, INVERELL. Eventually Robert also remained with his family permanently. After Robert retired in 1956 Robert and Ivy moved to 18 Explorer’s Rd, GLENBROOK where they lived for the rest of their lives. For a short period before his death Robert lived in Bundaberg with his daughter, Jean.
Ada and Robert had two CHILDREN: *Jean Margaret [p36] and *Bobsy Bruce [later known as Rosslyn Robyna] [p36].

SECTION TWO: THE GOYEN FAMILY
G4 ELIZA MARY SNOW ASPINALL [p10]
Eliza [27 MAY 1869, Kent St, Sydney-12 SEP 1947, Bexley, NSW in hospital] was cremated 15 SEP 1947 at the Woronora Crematorium after a service in the Church of Christ, Rockdale.
Eliza MARRIED 7 JAN 1889 NICHOLAS GOYEN, poultry-farmer, orchardist, fuel merchant, plasterer and bread carter, the son of Nicholas GOYEN [copper miner, grocer], and Martha COCK.
Nicholas [22 FEB 1867, Homebush, St, St Austell, Cornwall, ENG-12 APR 1935, Rockdale, NSW, AUS] was cremated 13 APR 1935 at the Woronora Crematorium.
For many years, until about 1905, Nicholas, Eliza and their young family lived on a small farm at Beaconsfield Rd, BANKSTOWN. It was surrounded by the thick scrub still visible from the East Hills to Liverpool rail track. Eliza tied her children to the clothes line by long ropes so that they would not wander off into the dense bushland. Tragedy struck when young Harriett died a “cot death” attributed to heat and teething. Nicholas became the Mayor of Bankstown Council. There are many references to Nicholas and to Council activities in the Sydney Morning Herald-see Trove.
Eventually they moved to 22 Kendall St, SURRY HILLS, to help Nicholas’ younger brother run their aging father’s flourishing grocery and fuel business.
Finally, about 1918, the family moved to 27 George St, ROCKDALE, after the families’ business had been sold. Nicholas then took work delivering bread. This house was demolished in about the 1990s. In their teens both Lily and Amy were removed from the family and incarcerated in a mental institution, either for illness or retardation. This distressed Eliza who spoke fondly of them until her death. Eliza was adored by children who enjoyed visits to her. She made copious quantities of delicious raspberry cordial which she distributed generously. This I still remember from childhood.
Eliza and Nicholas had seven CHILDREN: *Martha Jane [p41], *William James Albert [p45], Harriett, Lily May, *Rossina [p47], *James Nicholas [p49] and Amy Iris.
….G5 HARRIETT GOYEN was born 24 March 1895 Bankstown and died 14 JAN 1896 Bankstown.

Sub-Section 1: G5 MARTHA “JANE” [Dot] GOYEN [p40]
Martha, dress cutter, milliner, [23 DEC 1889, Upper Bankstown-5 SEP 1964 Bexley] was cremated 6 SEP 1964 at the Woronora Crematorium.
Martha MARRIED on 24 OCT 1914 in Parramatta CHARLES ARTHUR MANINS, painter, tramway employee, the son of Charles Arthur MANINS [bootmaker], and Adeline HUTCHINSON.
Charles [SEP 1884, Wellington, NZ-8 APR 1962] was cremated 9 APR 1962 at the Woronora Crematorium.
Martha and Charles were married at the Congregational Church, O’Connell St, Parramatta by the Rev. Oliver H. Putnell with N.Goyen and W.H. Stunell as witnesses.
Dot and Charles first lived in York St, ROCKDALE then at 137 Farr St, ROCKDALE before moving to 36 Gibbes St, ROCKDALE in about 1924. This latter dwelling is the first house built by James Goyen [p44]. The basement area has now been bricked in otherwise the house remains unaltered externally. About 1937 the family settled at 143 St Georges Road, BEXLEY. Dot was an active participant in the Rockdale Bretheren Assembly.
Among Dot Manin's many friends was my maternal grandmother, Lydia King, who attended the same church, the Brethren Assembly, Rockdale. I was taken to this church by my mother as a small child. My mother, a teenager when Hazel was small, knew her well. Hence my keen interest in the Goyen family through not only my Aunt Eliza [Aspinall] but because my grandmother and mother were friends of the Goyen family and knew them well.
Lydia’s son, Anthony John King, was a close friend of Dot’s son, Walter, and was upset by his premature death.
Resume of the story of the family written by Hazel for the Goyen Family History, October 1993.
Jane as she was known in the family, being the eldest child, was required to work hard, helping with the housework from a very early age.
She attended school and left a little legacy of those days in a sewing sampler, a neatly written poem addressed to her father on his “Natal Day” and Hazel’s remembrance of her saying that she had had French lessons at Primary School.
Jane spoke in later years of travelling to work by train. It was at work that she was nicknamed “Dot” because of her small stature. Whilst she was at work one day, the head of the firm sent for her to speak to her about a sample of an article of sewing she had been required to make. Feeling very apprehensive, Dot obeyed his request to sit down opposite his desk and heard herself being addressed as “Miss Goyen” and offered congratulations on the neatness of her handiwork.
Never-the-less, wages were meagre. A treat was a quince, because that was the largest piece of fruit which one could buy with the least amount of money. A girlfriend and Dot agreed to buy each other a singlet, this being an economical way of giving each other a birthday present! And an old dress could be made “new” by being carefully unpicked, turned, then sewn up again, so that the former inside became a fresh outside.
As a girl, Dot enjoyed roller skating. It was at a skating rink that she met a young New Zealander, whom she was to marry later.
Dot was loyal to her family and had a great affection for her father, Nicholas. She had a somewhat motherly attitude towards her younger brother James [Jim]. Indeed Jim was regarded by her own sons, Charles [Bonnie] and Walter, as a kind of big brother;
Jim had lived with Dot and Charles Arthur for some time after his bout of scarlet fever when the boys were little.
Hazel remembers her early childhood when the family of five had meals together, Hazel sitting in the wooden high chair. She remembers her mother, Dot, as a kindly lady with a keen sense of humour.
When school days came, as soon as she could read a little, Hazel would sit with her mother, the family Bible open between them, and would be helped to read a portion of Scripture, usually one of the Psalms.
Friendships formed an important part of Dot's life. These were with her aunts, and with cousins in the area, as well as with certain other ladies. These ladies were always addressed as, e g., “Mrs Hord” or “Mrs Cain” and never by their Christian names! Although life held financial struggles, a saucepan of soup always seemed available for Dot to take to a friend in trouble. Charles Jnr and Walter had joined the St George Amateur Cycling Club. Their parents went regularly to watch them compete in cycle races.
Later when Hazel was taking part in singing competitions and exams, her mother travelled with her to the venue, ready always with a few words of encouragement.
Dot suffered a severe stroke in 1960 and died in the Blairgowrie Nursing Home, Bexley.

Martha and Charles had three children including *Charles Nicholas [p42] and *Walter James [p43].

PART 1: G6 CHARLES NICHOLAS [Bonny] MANINS [p41],
Charles, clerk, fencer, builder, [8 AUG 1915 Rockdale-4 FEB 1975 Lugarno] was cremated 6 FEB 1975 at the Woronora Crematorium.
He MARRIED on 28 SEP 1946 at the Methodist Church, Croydon, IRIS IRENE COOKSON.
Charles had the black straight hair persistent in the Aspinall family. As an infant Charles was described as “bonny” by a Scottish friend, and so “Bonnie” became the name by which he was called by the family. Charles obtained work with Amalgamated Wireless of Australia [AWA] in about 1930. At first he was a “beam boy”, that is, one of a number of boys who rode bicycles around the streets of the city of Sydney to deliver the wireless messages received by AWA in York Street, Sydney, for businesses throughout the city. Over the years Charles received various promotions at work until he became Paymaster. He was a highly successful student at a Business College in Sydney where he studied at night. Each day he rode to and from work on his pushbike. Charles served on Thursday Island during World War Two, patrolling the surrounding waters by motor launch. He attained the rank of sergeant.
After the war he returned to work at the AWA and married a fellow employee. Charles, Iris and their three children, Peter Charles, Duncan Keith and Dianne Kerrie, lived at 20 Park Ave, OATLEY until 1956 before moving to 24 Park Avenue, OATLEY. About 1961 the family shifted to 11 Koorabel St, then LUGARNO, NSW. Eventually, about 1984 Iris moved to 15 Bayside Drive, LUGARNO.
Finding office work irksome after army life in the open air, he left AWA and began work as a fencer. This led to his taking an interest in building and within a few years he had set up business, designing and building houses in the St George area of Sydney. By 1958 Charles owned C.N. Manins Pty, Ltd, builders. One of his projects was to build all of the houses in a new street in Kingsgrove, which was named Manins Avenue after him.
Charles was a champion cyclist attached to the St George Amateur Cycling Club of which he later became the secretary.
Eventually he became the secretary of the NSW Amateur Cycling Union, later transferring to the position of treasurer. He was renowned world wide for his knowledge of cycling, and his ability as an organiser.
He was manager of the Australian cycling squad for the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, and the 1972 Olympics in Munich. A lengthy obituary of Charles’ achievements was written up in the “St George Sutherland Shire Leader” on Wednesday, FEB 12 1975, page 7.

William, given the name “Albert” like his grandfather, called his son “Albert”. Thus Albert became a family name for several generations. An Albert William Goyen was charged with burglary about 1918-see Trove references. It is uncertain as to whethewr the person involved is the William Albert Goyen mentioned here.
William and Pearl lived at 20 Lennox Street, NEWTOWN for several years before moving to 5 Chapman Street, SURRY HILLS.

Sub-Section 3: G5 ROSSINA GOYEN [p40]
Rossina, dressmaker, civil servant, [13 MAY 1903, Upper Bankstown-10 OCT 1967] died in Killara.
Rossina MARRIED [1] 15 NOV 1924 at Katoomba NORMAN SAMUEL BOWLES, accountant, storekeeper, banana grower. Rossina and Norman were married in the Congregational Church, Katoomba, by the Rev. Ivan Stebbins. This marriage was dissolved in 1936.
Norman was born 17 JAN 1900 Rockdale and died about 1981.
Norman was the son of Archibald Alexander Bowles [railway employee], and Lily Rebarte CHEETHAM and was the brother of Archibald A [1898-1962], Herbert V [1903-?], Cecil D [1907-?] and Percy Wilfred [c1913-1972].
[NOTE: By 1936 Norman was again working as an accountant and was living at 3 Brown Road, BROADMEADOWS, a suburb of Newcastle. In 1940 Norman married MABEL ELIZABETH DICKER in Wellington. Norman and Mabel moved quite frequently. Norman had a number of different occupations.]
Rossina “MARRIED” [2] WALTER CHARLES SAVAGE, company director, the son of Walter and Charlotte Jane. This was a de facto relationship in which Rossina assumed the surname of Savage. Walter died 3 NOV 1940 Lindfield, NSW.
Her third MARRIAGE [3] 26 SEP1942 Sydney was to STANLEY HAROLD SHAW, company director, manager. This third marriage, under the name “Rosina”, took place in St Stephen’s Presbyterian Church, Macquarie St, Sydney.
Stanley [6 July 1890, Rockhampton, QLD-7 AUG 1968] was cremated 8 AUG 1968. He was the son of George Barnsby SHAW [auctioneer], and Harriet O’HARA.
In 1925 Rossina and Norman lived at “Felton Woods”, Lurline St, KATOOMBA. In 1930 Norman had found work at the SOUTH CASINO RAILWAY as a storekeeper. Since he had been an accountant and that he later returned to that occupation it would appear that the 1929 depression had an important impact on Norman’s life and marriage. By 1931 they were both living with Rossina’s parents in Rockdale. The 1933 Electoral roll shows that Rossina and Norman had separated. Rossina was living alone at 35 Trafalgar St BRIGHTON-le-SANDS while Norman was also living alone at 36 Gladstone Street, BEXLEY.
Rossina and Walter lived at 21 Highlands Avenue, GORDON [1936] and at 20 Norwood Ave, LINDFIELD [1937-42].
Rossina and Stanley lived at Hill St, ROSEVILLE [1943], 20 Norwood Ave, Lindfield [1944 to 1948], 67 Pacific Highway, ROSEVILLE EAST [1949 to 1951], 15 Gladstone Pde, Lindfield [1952 to 1955] and finally at 642 Pacific Highway, KILLARAH, NSW [E]. Writing poetry was one of Rossina’s hobbies.

Sub-Section 4: G5 JAMES NICHOLAS [Jimmy] GOYEN [p40]
James, carpenter, builder, [10 MAY 1905, Surry Hills-3 APR 1984 Kogarah, in hospital] was christened as James Albert although he had been registered “James Nicholas” by his father at birth. He was buried 6 APR 1984 in the R.C. section Woronora Cemetery, Sutherland after a Requiem Mass at the Church of Our Lady, Star of the Sea, Miranda.
He MARRIED 5 SEP 1936 in St Mary’s Cathedral Sydney MARY SHELAGH [Mollie] BAKER, the daughter of Francis Baker and Ellen HOREN.
Shelagh was born 19 OCT 1915 in Darlinghurst and died 12 AUG 2003.
Although registered “James Nicholas” by his father at birth Jimmy was baptised “James Albert” and known by this latter name, including in the business world. It was only during preparations for his marriage that Jimmy learnt of his registered name. “Albert”, the name of his maternal grandfather, had already been given to an older brother. “Nicholas” was almost certainly his intended name since it was the name of his father and paternal grandfather.
James lived with his parents until he married. At one time, during the 1930s Depression, when building work was scarce, Jim worked with a greengrocer according to the electoral roll.
During the Second World War Jimmy was not accepted by the Army or Air Force because of a loss of hearing caused by scarlet fever at the age of 14 years. The government asked him to transfer his workmen not of military age to the Public Works Department, which he did, to build air raid shelters.
Initially Jimmy and Mary lived at 84 Harrow Rd, BEXLEY [1939], then at 48 Ada St, Bexley [1941] before moving to 2 George St, ROCKDALE [1943]. In the backyard of this residence he built his girls a “cubby” house which was a miniature replica of a real house. Here Phillipa and Cushla Croucher [pp64-66], played with Jim’s daughters as their father, Henry, negotiated with Jim about the construction of their house at 6 Carinya Ave, Brighton-le-Sands by Jim’s off-sider, “Cheyney”.
By 1951 the family had moved to 12 Monomeeth St, BEXLEY. He had his depot at 18 Montgomery St, KOGARAH. Finally, by 1960, James had moved to 9 The Esplanade, CRONULLA [E]. Later his depot was relocated to 4 Montgomery Street, Kogarah. His company was known as J.A.Goyen Pty. Ltd. Eventually, by 1972, the Company was in the names of Goyen, J.A. and McIntyre, C.R.
The houses in Goyen Avenue, Rockdale were built by him, as were those in MacIntyre Avenue, Brighton-le-Sands. Most likely James also constructed the houses in Goyen Place Padstow. Jim was responsible for the construction of many other houses in the area as well as the St George Technical College, Kogarah. James is best known for his development of Syvania Waters. He was responsible for the design and promotion of Sylvania Waters where some of his descendants now live.

James and Mollie had four daughters, sixteen grandchildren and twenty-seven great-grandchildren by 2003. The number of great-grandchildren has almost certainly risen since 2003.

Arthur, soldier, greengrocer, was born 15 JUL 1903 Annandale and died 22 MAY 1980 Traralgon, Vic. Arthur MARRIED 19 Oct 1940 BERYL LEAH MOYSTON, saleswoman.
Beryl [c1910 Melbourne, Vic-5 NOV 1990, Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital, from cancer] was cremated 7 NOV 1990 at the Springvale Crematorium. Beryl was the daughter of William Bradfield [civil servant], and Margaret JOHNSTON.
Arthur and Beryl were married at the Military camp, Wallgrove, near Blacktown, NSW, according to the rites of the Methodist Church.
Little is known about Arthur’s early adult life. He is not on the 1930 or 1936 electoral rolls. Before World War 2 he worked in various hotels around Sydney as the manager [personal communication with the family]. Because he was still single, Arthur was called up for duty in World War 2 and became a prisoner-of-war at the infamous Changi prison in Singapore. By 1955 Arthur and Beryl were living at 127 Gordon St, TRARALGON and ran a fruit shop. They had no children. After Arthur’s death Beryl moved to 5/24 George St RESERVOIR, Vic.

Sub-Section 3: G5 NOEL ALLAN ROLLINGS [p57]
Noel, plasterer, was born 3 NOV 1908 and died 21 MAY 1953 in Brisbane, QLD.
He MARRIED 31 OCT 1931 in Queensland Jeanette Wattle (LIVINGSTONE) DREW.
Jeanette was born 9 NOV 1913, the daughter of Mellvina LIVINGSTONE. She died 21 DEC 1999.
From 1929 to 1931 Noel lived with his father at the corner of Allen and Vulture Streets, MAREE. From 1934-1937 Noel and Jeanette lived at 40 Mark Lane KANGAROO POINT. By 1939 they had moved to 80 Princess Street, PETRIE TERRACE (1939-40). In 1949 the family resided at 105 Linton Street, KANGAROO POINT. Soon afterwards they moved to 652 Webster Street, STAFFORD (1950) before shifting to 257 Webster Street, STAFFORD (1952-1955). The family remained at this address briefly after Noel, and then his father, Henry, died. Once Henry died the family began to split up. The two older sons left home. It is unknown where Jeanette and the younger children lived in the late 1950s. The youngest child was put into foster care.
In 1973 Jeanette lived at 609 Stafford Road STAFFORD before moving to 29 Hurdcotte Street, ENOGGERA. From 1980 to 1984 Jeanette lived at 174 Samford Road, ENOGGERA.

SECTION FIVE: THE CROUCHERS
G4: EVA ASPINALL [p10], servant
Eva was born 5 MAR 1882 at 13 Esther St, Surry Hills and died 26 NOV 1963 from cancer at Hurlstone Park in a Nursing Home. Her funeral 27 NOV 1963 left from the Gospel Hall, Tower Hill, Panania for the Independent Section, Rookwood Cemetery.
Eva was MARRIED on 21 AUG 1901 to THOMAS HENRY CROUCHER, marble polisher.
Thomas, the son of John James CROUCHER [printer] and Charlotte Rosina BAPTIST, was born 18 AUG 1876 at 17 Horace St, Lambeth SUR, ENG and died 12 APR 1953 at Panania. His funeral 13 APR 1953 left 2 Samuel St, Wiley Park for the Independent Section, Rookwood Cemetery.
Phillipa has also published the Croucher and Baptist family histories under the title “At the Crossroads” (q.v.). The Croucher family history is available on the internet.
For many years Eva called herself “Eva Maude Augusta Jane”. Her sisters were concerned about her having such a brief name, as if she had been unwanted and was considered a nuisance. Her three sisters each suggested a second name for her, and so Eva adopted all three names.
Eva was quite a dominating tyrant who did not adapt her ways and ideas to accommodate others. This was due partly to her unfortunate childhood. These years were tough and she experienced neglect. Eva’s mother died when she was four years old. It is unknown who then brought up Eva and her young brother, Albert, and sister. Elizabeth. The three eldest girls would already have left home, probably to go into service. Eva was made a ward of the state eventually. Most likely her brother, Albert, and sister, Elizabeth, were also made wards of the state. When her sister, Ada, lived in Newtown Eva, now aged 13, became her servant which she hated. Ada was very demanding and also very mean. Eva ate mostly left-over food, including the scraps from other people's cups and plates-she was not permitted to throw them out.
Thus, once she married and was making her own decisions she permitted no one to tell her what to do or how to do it. Her husband was made to wear an apron during meals, something I still remember from childhood. Eva was hard-working and enjoyed gardening.
As well as her flower garden she grew many of the family’s vegetables.
Eva was apt to interfere with the lives of her children and grandchildren. In particular, she could see no value in education and so put great pressure on family members to leave school as soon as possible. However, some family members persisted in improving their qualifications. Her son, David became a journalist. Henry’s two daughters were her only grandchildren to complete their secondary schooling. Both later obtained tertiary qualifications. Other grandchildren later showed that they had the capacity for a higher level of education. Two of her grandsons also gained entry to Sydney’s selective high schools, but neither proceeded past Intermediate Certificate level. Norman then went into publishing before running a newsagency; Graham trained in the electrical trades and later held an important position on the Snowy Mountains hydroelectricity scheme.
**PAGE 62**
The family lived in Allen St, LEICHHARDT from 1901 to 1907 when they moved to 5 Kalgoorlie St, LEICHHARDT where they lived until about 1917. During 1917 and 1918 they lived at 15 Albany Rd, PETERSHAM before shifting to Breillat St, ANNANDALE.
Thomas started to buy and renovate old houses in need of repair. The family lived in the house until it was suitable for tenants, later moving back temporarily between tenants. The first of these houses was 35 Park St, CAMPSIE where they lived in the early 1920s, in 1932 and from 1944 to 1952.
In 1925 and 1926 and later from 1937 to 1939 they lived at 22 Lincoln St, CAMPSIE. Their children, Mildred and David, also lived at this address for some period during their marriages.
The third house was “Roseville” 48 Victoria St, KOGARAH, now renumbered to number 9. It is the only one of the three houses still standing. They lived here from 1927 to 1931 and again from 1933 to 1936.
Thomas and Eva prepared to retire to CRONULLA and so bought a house there in Judd St. But Eva was found to have lymphatic cancer of the intestine and so their plans were thwarted. They decided to return to the more populated suburbs of Sydney and so they moved back to Campsie after Eva’s successful surgery. It is now suspected that Eva had coeliac disease which led to the intestinal cancer. Her short stature and very thin physique support this conjecture.
About 1952 Thomas and Eva moved to a retirement village, Eventide Homes, at 965 Henry Lawson Drive, PADSTOW. Thomas died soon afterwards. Eva’s cancer reappeared many years later during her old age causing her to move to a nursing home in HURLSTONE PARK, where she died.
Eva and Thomas had four CHILDREN: *Alfred Thomas [p63], *Mildred Charlotte [p64], *Henry John [p67] and *David Loxsley (Locksley) [p70].

Alf was MARRIED on 6 March 1926 to Esther “Essie” Minnie McCRIMMON.
Essie, [12 DEC 1904, Liverpool-died 9 OCT 1990] was the daughter of Robert McCRIMMON, labourer, [?-1936, Campsie] and Esther ALLEN [?-1923] who married in 1892. She was the sister of Elizabeth “Doris” Jane [1893-22 MAR 1987], m 1915 Charles Lindsay; Elsie [1895-20 JUL 1975], m Paul James Tuohy [?-27 DEC 1965]; Linda I [1898-?] m Albert McAlister; Malcolm [1899-33 AUG 1918], killed in action, WWI; David Gillis [1901-19 MAY 1985] m 1926; Minnie F [1903-1904] and Andrew [1906-15 MAR 1985]

Alfred and Essie had two children including *Norman Thomas.
PART 1: G6 NORMAN THOMAS CROUCHER
Norman, publisher, newsagent, [6 JAN 1927-31 JAN 1990, in hospital] was cremated 1 FEB 1990 at the Woronora Crematorium after a service at the Caringbah Baptist Church.
Norman was MARRIED on 13 March 1954 to JUANITA stenographer, newsagent, store-keeper.
Norman was educated at Canterbury Boys’ High School.
He and Nita lived at 52 Fenwick Street, BANKSTOWN (1958-1961) and at 20 Tooronga Terrace, BEVERLEY HILLS (1963-67) before running a news-agency at 134 Anzac Parade, KENSINGTON (1970). Later they had a news-agency at 178 Redfern St, REDFERN (1972-77). Their address is then shown as 141 Redfern St, REDFERN (1978-9) and 5 Copeland Street, ALEXANDRIA (1983-5). After they retired they moved in 1988 to 59 Old Taren Point Road, TAREN POINT but Norman died soon afterwards from a heart attack.

Sub-Section 2: G5 MILDRED CHARLOTTE [Millie] CROUCHER, [p61]
Millie [15 SEP 1904, Leichhardt-19 AUG 1978, Caringbah] worked in the clothing industry. Her funeral 23 AUG 1978 left the Salvation Army Citadel, Miranda for the Independent Cemetery, Rookwood.
Mildred was MARRIED on 26 March 1928 to CECIL FRANCIS PRICE, straw hatter, hat blocker.
Cecil [5 JUL 1900, Redfern-22 MAY 1964, in hospital] was buried 25 MAY 1964, in the Independent Cemetery, Rookwood.
Cecil was the son of William Victor PRICE and Elizabeth Osmond LAMB, and the brother of Victor Edwin Price (married Lilian Ada Powys PATIS) and Arbenia Emily Price (married Walter Joseph ANDREWS).
[Cecil was the grandson of Thomas Francis Price (born Francis Thomas Price) and Harriet King the great-grandson of Francis Swaine Price from Mevagissey, in Cornwall and the great-great-grandson of Thomas Price and Honor Bake. Details of the family of Francis Swaine Price are readily accessible on the Internet on the International Genealogical Index [IGI] compiled by the Morman Church and available on their website FamilySearch. He was the nephew of Frances Price (married Levi MAIDMENT), Emily Elizabeth Price (married Charles Henry LAYTON), Louisa Price (married John KEEFFE), Thomas Francis Price (married Mary Ann LEWIS, nee Link) Walter Price (married Ellen HARTMAN), George Frederick (married Eva Maria SMITH), Annie Price (married Robert Henderson BRADLEY), and Henry Percy Price (married Phoebe CASS). Levi Maidment and Thomas Francis Price were both stonemasons who used stone from the Pyrmont quarries. Most likely they both knew, or knew of, Millie’s grandfather, Albert Wood Aspinall, and great uncle, John Ingham Aspinall, both of whom also used stone from the same quarries in the same time period.]
Cecil also contracted pulmonary tuberculosis (in earlier times called phthisis) and spent several years in a sanatorium in the early 1930s, but he survived. The illness affected his work as the steam and chemicals involved in hat-making irritated his lungs. Thus Cecil was limited to those sections of the millinery industry where his lungs were irritated the least.
Before his marriage Cecil lived at 76 Regent St, Kogarah and Millie lived nearby at 48 Victoria St, Kogarah (now 9 Victoria Street). The family resided at 22 Lincoln St, CAMPSIE, in a house owned by Millie’s father, [1928-1931] before going to live with Millie’s parents at Roseville, Victoria St, KOGARAH [1930-31]. By 1933 the family had moved to 8 Union St, KOGARAH WEST. Eventually, by 1941, they had moved to 2 Samuel St, WILEY PARK where they stayed for many years. Towards the end of her life the widowed Millie went to live with her daughter, Valerie, at Caringbah.
Aunt Millie was a warm, friendly person with a wonderful smile and a twinkle in her eye. I always enjoyed our visits to her place. She was very involved with church activities. Her cooking was superb, a skill she passed on to Valerie. One particularly memorable visit we feasted on raspberry jam buns made by Valerie whilst Arthur entertained us with his current hobby, conjuring and magic tricks.
The Price family history, THE CORNISH PEARL-DIVER, is available in book format in selected libraries.
Mildred died from the inherited medical condition, haemochromatosis. This means that Mildred had two recessive genes, one from each of her parents (homogeneous recessive).
As neither of her parents had the condition they each must have had one dominant gene and one recessive gene for the condition (that is, they were heterogeneous for the condition). In turn, each of Mildred’s parents must have received a recessive gene for the condition from one of their parents.
Some of Mildred’s siblings were possibly heterogeneous for the condition as well.
Mildred will have passed one of her recessive genes onto each of her children.
Millie and Cecil had two children including *Arthur John.
**PAGE 65**
PART 1: G6 ARTHUR JOHN PRICE
Arthur [7 MAY 1930-31 JUL 1982, Wagga Wagga, NSW] was a photo engraver, Salvation Army officer, hospital social worker/welfare officer. Arthur died from heart disease as did his two uncles, Alfred [p63] and Henry [p67] and his cousin, Norman [p63]
Arthur was MARRIED on 31 JUL 1953 to Evelyn May WADDELL.
Evelyn [c1932-19 NOV 1992, Wagga Wagga, NSW] died from cancer. Evelyn was the daughter of Victor Stranger [1903-12 MAY 1974], train driver and Marjorie May Vince [15 OCT 1901-3 MAY 1965] and sister of Daphne Ida [c1936-25 MAY 2009], the wife of Edwin John Anderson [?-18 JUL 1984].
Arthur attended Belmore Central Technical School.
Arthur inherited the family’s artistic talent. In the mid 1940s he won a trip to Brisbane in a competition for children run by “The Sun” newspaper. In 1959, when his job was computerised, Arthur decided to work for the Salvation Army full-time. He was located at Captains Flat, Albury, and Wagga Wagga.
Arthur and Evelyn built a house at 4 Hendy Ave, PANANIA in the late 1950s. Life was difficult at first. New houses of that era were very basic. They consisted of little more that roof and walls. Internal features, such as cupboards, were constructed while people lived in the house. The householder often built these extras themselves.
Arthur was appalled by the lack of vegetation in the area. He purchased a large consignment of eucalypt seedlings from the government. He then sold them on to other people in his area. Many fine, mature eucalypt trees in the vicinity of Hendy Ave, Panania are the result of Arthur’s foresight.
Arthur and Evelyn were actively involved in the Panania Corps of the Salvation Army. Arthur was deeply influenced by the 1959 Billy Graham Crusade in Sydney. Then, in that same year, his job was computerized. Arthur decided to work for the Salvation Army full-time and so he and Evelyn decided to train as Salvation Army Officers. However, they resolved to wait for several years until their three children were a little older. Finally, in 1963, Arthur and Evelyn moved to Petersham to commence their training. They shared a Salvation Army house with another family at 55 Livingstone Rd, PETERSHAM. Their training lasted two years. It included six months as Cadet Officers in Queanbeyan in 1964. In 1965 they had their first appointment at CAPTAIN’S FLAT, an isolated mining area about 90km south of Canberra. That same year I moved to Canberra. I was able to spend a most enjoyable day visiting my cousin’s family. Their house was next door to the Fire Station. This made a great impression on their two sons. It was a difficult area but Arthur was very suited to the type of welfare required. This year they also served some time in Cooma.
I had known Arthur reasonably well. He was very fond of my father, his uncle. He was a frequent visitor to our place from his early teens. There were high sand dunes in the Kyeemagh area on Botany Bay [now removed], close to where we lived. Sand dune surfing was a very popular sport in that era. Adolescents found speeding down these dunes on polished wooden boards very exhilarating. Arthur was one of them. He usually visited us as well on the days when he went to Kyeemagh to sand-surf. Our family was introduced to Evelyn at an early stage in their friendship. This soon blossomed into romance and marriage.
The Salvation Army moved its officers frequently. During 1966 the family moved to ALBURY. Later in that same year I again visited them, at 588 Wyse St. Two more children were born during their two years in Albury. Arthur’s next two-year appointment was at BOWRAL [1968-1969]. They lived at 70 Merrigang St. This was closer to Sydney. The children were able to get to know their surviving grandparents during frequent visits.
From Bowral the family moved to WAGGA WAGGA in 1970. The oldest children were now at secondary school. Arthur requested, and was granted, several extensions of his appointment. He did not want to disrupt the education of his older children. Eventually, at the end of 1974, Arthur was asked to transfer to Burwood, in Sydney, The family enjoyed living in Wagga Wagga. They were reluctant to leave. Arthur was well recognised as a social worker in the area. He resigned from the Salvation Army when it became possible to transfer to a job as Social Worker to the regional Hospital. The family rented until they were able to purchase a house of their own about a year later. This was located at 24 Croaker St, Wagga Wagga.
**PAGE 66**
To supplement his income Arthur returned to his artistic talents with a cottage industry. He manufactured souvenir items such as teaspoons and key rings. The business became so successful Arthur left his hospital job in 1980. Linda was his assistant. Unfortunately, Arthur’s health was deteriorating. This cottage industry was much less stressful then the hospital work. Heart disease had plagued many members of his mother’s family. Now Arthur was affected. Surgery was recommended but he opted for the drug treatment alternative. He lived another two years.
Widowed Evelyn survived for another ten years. The family continued to live in Wagga Wagga. Their children, my first cousins once removed, encouraged me to write this family history.
Arthur and Evelyn had five children and a number of grandchildren.

PART 2: G6 HAMLYN CARLTON “Dick” BUTTERFIELD
Hamlyn, metal worker, MARRIED Valerie on 5 APR 1957 in the Methodist Church, Lakemba.
Dick, [1917, Lindfield-24 JAN 2008] was the son of Charles Herbert, printer, and Ellenor Florence HOSIE.
Dick lived at 20 Drake Avenue, CARINGBAH. He had two children and at least three grandchildren.

Sub-Section 3: G5 HENRY JOHN [Harry] CROUCHER, [p61]
Henry, process engraver, colour-etcher, [11 DEC 1907, Leichhardt-7 JAN 1975 on Rockdale Railway Station]was cremated 9 JAN 1975 at the Crematorium, Woronora after a service at the Congregational Church, Brighton-le-Sands.
Harry was MARRIED 21 SEP 1934 to Adelaide Nancy Margaret “Billie” or “Addie” KING, analytical chemist, podiatrist.
Adelaide [10 JUN 1912 Bristol, ENG-13 JUL 2001] died in a nursing home in Bexley from dementia and heart failure. Her funeral 17 JUL 2007 was held at the Church of Christ church, Rockdale followed by a private cremation at the Crematorium, Woronora.
Adelaide, known as Billie, Addie or Nancy, was the daughter of John King [tailor, hospital wardsman] and Mary Ann Lydia Pollard [dressmaker] and the sister of Anthony John [1920-1942] and Paula Claire.
After their marriage Harry and Billie rented houses at 36 Shaw St, BEXLEY NORTH [1935-1936] and 17 Francis Ave, BRIGHTON-LE-SANDS [1936-1946] before shifting into their own house at 6 Carinya Avenue, BRIGHTON-LE-SANDS in November 1946. This house had been built by the assistant of Henry’s cousin, James Goyen [p44]. The house in Bexley North was called “Bethany”. Harry made a name in metal for the wall of the house. That metal name is still in the possession of the family.
Henry was a practical person skilled in the use of tools. He constructed most of the permanent interior features of his permanent house at 6 Carinya Ave, BRIGHTON-LE-SANDS [1946-1999]. He kept the family’s shoes mended and also repaired watches as a hobby.
Henry’s appearance was very like that of his brother, Alfred, sister, Mildred, and cousin Eric Aspinall [p79] and Eric’s sister, Jessie [p73]. He had the typical Aspinall features of short stature, a round face, straight black hair and brownish complexion. Some of these features have passed down to subsequent generations.
Henry was a short person, only 154 cm tall (5’ 1 1/2”) who weighed about ten stones (140 pounds, or 63-64kg). This and other traits suggest that he had coeliac disease which his mother almost certainly also had. His wife and children were even shorter, 147cm, 145cm and 143 cm tall, respectively.
Henry’s enlistment papers describe him as “respectable and keen type; smart manner; neatly dressed”. Like his father, Henry was a quiet, gentle person.. This changed, however, when chronic heart disease, untreatable in the 1950s, took over his life. The condition was diagnosed initially in 1952. In 1957 he had the first of many heart attacks with their increasingly debilitating effects. Six linked heart problems are listed on this death certificate. His worsening condition left Henry very cranky, irritable and easily upset.
Henry also inherited the Aspinall artistic bent and wanted to study Art at the East Sydney Technical College He had a variety of skills from pencil sketches of Sydney's ornate buildings [such as St Stephen’s Presbyterian Church, Macquarie St], through pen sketches to beaten copper pictures later in life. However, his mother interfered; she objected to his life-drawing classes using live models. Hence Henry trained as a process engraver and colour etcher in the printing industry. The very steady hand required by this occupation led to a deterioration in his artistic skills where a very flexible wrist was required.
In 1919, when he was 12, Henry received his qualifying certificate at the end of his primary schooling. He then completed one year at a Technical School, possibly at Petersham Technical School. Although he had so little schooling Henry’s letters show a good command of both English grammar and spelling.
In 1921 he started a five year apprenticeship at Bacon and Co, Photo Engravers and attended the Art School at East Sydney Technical College to learn his trade.
**PAGE 68**
Henry worked for many years for “Truth and Sportsman” in Kippax Street, Sydney. This firm also published “The Mirror” newspaper, an afternoon Sydney paper. After the end of World War Two one of Henry’s duties was to alter the pictures of war atrocities to render them more suitable for publication by removing some of the horrendous graphic details the pictures contained.
Henry became an advanced craftsman in his trade.
Henry produced the printing blocks necessary for the reproductions of Australian artists such as Hans Heysen and Albert Namatjira. Many coloured pictures in books produced in Sydney in the late 1940s and early 1950s were printed from printing plates made by Henry. These included the pictures in the children’s books “Blinkey Bill” and “Snugglepot and Cuddlepie”. I still have my copy of Blinkey Bill with its pictures reproduces my father’s printing plates. I also have the original proof made by my father of the picture of Blinkey Bill’s christening.
Henry also made the printing blocks for the State Governor’s Christmas cards. Each year we always had our own proof copy. We also knew the pictures appearing on many business calendars each year. Dozens of Henry’s proofs were in our house. As my mother’s dementia worsened she lost respect for them, put them in a shed in the yard where they deteriorated.
Many beautiful pictures adorned the walls of our house, all the framed proofs of my father’s work. Unfortunately all of these are now lost and I am left with only the memories of them.
Apart from his occupation his artistic talent manifested itself in his hobbies, including the decorative painting of ceilings, especially the intricate, ornate or moulded-plaster ones, photography, and the afore mentioned beaten copper pictures. This latter was taught to Henry by the Red Cross when he was nearly blind.
Members of Henry’s family were mainly associated with the Open Bretheren and Baptist churches. He met his wife-to-be at a church picnic. In later years, when he was no longer doing shift work, he attended the evening service of the Arncliffe Baptist Church.
**PAGE 69**
Another of his interests was working for the St John’s Ambulance Brigade, including nursing duties at the St George District Hospital, Kogarah and duty at Rockdale Ambulance Station every Friday night. Consequently he served as a medical orderly in the RAAF in Australia and Papua-New Guinea during WW2. He rose to the rank of sergeant. Unfortunately his health was affected by the adverse environments he encountered during WWII. Henry spent increasingly long periods in Concord Repatriation Hospital and the Lady Davidson convalescent Hospital. Eventually he was assessed T.P.I. in 1965.
Henry enlisted in the RAAF on 9 September 1941 and was allocated number 60841. Initially he was a trainee nursing orderly. After a period as a nursing orderly and further training he became a qualified medical orderly on 1 September 1943. Eighteen days later he was assigned to duties overseas.
Henry mostly served with a small group of men manning one of the many radar stations in northern Australia and in New Guinea. These included Number 42 Radar Wing (5 JUN 1944) and Number 348 Radar Station (23 July 1945). His service included working near Katherine in the Northern Territory, in outback north Queensland, in Merauke, Dutch New Guinea (as it was in the 1940s) and in Madang in Papua-New Guinea (4 August 1945).
Henry and Adelaide had two daughters and two grandchildren.
One daughter became an analytical chemist. Eventually she worked as a research assistant in overseas universities. Later she retrained as an animal handler in a research laboratory. Her marriage is listed in the AGCI Index. She had no children.
The other daughter became a senior lecturer as well as undertaking other work of interest to her. Her academic interests were in animal behaviour, psychology and medical biology. She married a university lecturer. Both of her children have taught tertiary students. One child has spoken on ABC radio.

CHAPTER SEVEN: THE FAMILY OF SARAH ELIZABETH ASPINALL
SECTION ONE: THE FAMILY OF FREDERICK WEISS/WILLIAM GLEDHILL ASPINALL
G4: FREDERICK WILLIAM GUSTAFF WEISS [later known as WILLIAM GLEDHILL ASPINALL] [p12],
Frederick [15 SEP 1868, Australia St, Kingston, NSW-21 JUN 1944, at Home of Peace, Subiaco, WA] was cremated 22 JUN 1944 Karrakatta, WA. William, accountant, bank officer, bank manager, died from colon cancer.
He MARRIED on 23 DEC 1895 SARAH ANN “Minnie” KELLY.
Sarah was born c1869 St Albans, NSW. The record of her birth is under the family name Kelley. Sarah died 17 JAN 1952 at Women’s Home, Mt Henry, Perth, WA and was cremated 18 JAN 1952 Karrakatta Cemetery, Perth.
Her ashes were buried in the Rose Bed, Karrakatta Cemetery, Nedlands, WA.
Sarah was the daughter of William KELLY [farmer], and Dorothy MORRIS, from Macdonald River, and the sister of Mary J, William, James, Price, Reubena, Henry, Fanny, Hilton, Amelia, Charles, Ada, and Alfred. The children’s births are registered under both the surnames Kelly and Kelley. All are registered in the district of Macdonald River.
Frederick and Sarah were married in the study of the Baptist Church 48 Elizabeth St, Sydney by the Rev. Alfred James Clarke with Paul Payens and Mary Payens as witnesses. Soon afterwards they moved to Western Australia.
In 1934 the family lived at 12 Namur St, BALKATTA. By 1939 they had moved to 169 Walcott St, NORTH PERTH. They then lived at 1/164 Walcott St, MAYLANDS [1941] and 55 Bruce St, NEDLANDS with their son Eric [1943].
Sarah lived with Eric or with her son, John, in Victoria until her death. A CHILD, *Roy, from a previous marriage, is mentioned in Sarah’s death notice and on her death certificate.
**PAGE 72**
ROY FARRELL/WEISS
Roy [31 JUL 1892-12 APR 1971] lived and farmed in the New England district. A distant cousin of Roy, Glen, wrote to me about Roy and asked me to publish the following information which had been obtained from birth, death and marriage certificates and other sources:
“Sarah Kelly was previously married to a Thomas FARRELL, Tailor, on 3rd October, 1891 in Sydney. A child, Roy, was born on 31st July, 1892 at Central McDonald (nr St Albans) NSW. After Sarah's remarriage, Roy was taken to Perth, WA and became a step-brother to the other 3 boys.
Evidently, he took the family name of WEISS and retained it for the rest of his life. By 1920, he had returned to NSW and was residing as a Grazier at Neilrex in the New England area. There he married Emily Mabel Haroldston PERROTT on 27th October, 1920.
Roy WEISS died on 12th April, 1971 in Armidale, NSW, aged 78 years. His occupation was recorded as an Estate Agent. There were 3 daughters: Amy Patricia, Nancy and Margaret.
According to the NSW BDM index, there were 4 Thomas Farrells, who died between 1892 and 1895. I have been told that there is a Weiss Arcade in the Armidale shopping centre and the indexes indicate that there were other Weisses living in the New England area, so maybe they were descendants of the earlier related Weisses and were known to Roy. Amy Weiss died on 16th March, 2006, aged 81 years (Ryerson), Nancy appears to have married a William Bressay Lawson in Sydney in 1953 (NSW Marriage Index) and Margaret seems to have vanished after Roy's death in 1971.
There doesn't appear to be any record of Sarah Kelly's first marriage listed in the NSW Index but the date and place are clearly stated on Roy's Birth Certificate. It is interesting that Roy's marriage certificate states that his father, William Weiss, Bank Manager, was deceased and his mother's name is stated as Minnie Kelly, only giving the nickname, which she had been using”.
The wedding of Nancy Weiss was on the social pages of the SMH, 7 June 1953. She married on 6 June 1953. It includes a photo.

John enlisted on 14 February 1917 at Blackboy Hill, Perth, WA and joined the 8/44th Battalion of the A.I.F. on 1 March 1917. John had already spent four years in Senior Cadets.
His unit embarked aboard HMAT “Borda” at Fremantle on 29 June 1917 and disembarked at Plymouth on 15 August 1917. Several days later he was transferred to the 11th Training Battalion at Durrington. Soon he was in trouble for going A.W.L. for about 36 hours. He shifted to Sutton Veny, then to Sutton Mandeville and finally to Southampton before leaving for Rouelles, France, on the 18 December 1917. John was shot in the right shoulder on 28 March 1918 and so returned to England aboard the “Jan Breydel” on 4 Apr 1918. Here his injury was classified as severe. Initially John was in hospital at Reading, but later he was transferred to Dartford. Here, on 9 AUG 1918, John was declared permanently unfit for general service and temporally unfit for home service. Following his discharge from hospital he was assigned to Weymouth. He returned to Australia aboard “HT Runic”, leaving Liverpool, Eng. on 23 SEP 1918 and arriving at Fremantle, WA on 17 November 1918.

CHAPTER EIGHT: THE FAMILY OF ARTHUR ASHWORTH ASPINALL
SECTION ONE: THE FREEMAN FAMILY
G4: JESSIE STRAHORN ASPINALL [p13]
Jessie [10 DEC 1881, Forbes-25 AUG 1953], medical practitioner, died at 8 Deakin Street, Haberfield, the home of her daughter, Helen. Her funeral, 27 AUG 1953 was held at the Northern Suburbs Crematorium. Eventually her ashes were interred at the South Head Cemetery in the family grave.
Jessie was MARRIED on 22 JUN 1915 to AMBROSE WILLIAM FREEMAN, mining engineer.
Jessie and Ambrose were married at home by Jessie’s father according to the rites of the Presbyterian Church.
Ambrose [13 FEB 1873, Paddington-1 OCT 1930] was .buried at sea.
Ambrose was the son of William FREEMAN [draftsman], who married in 1870 Lucy Rose FISHER, and the brother of Alfred Henry [1871-1955], William Addison [1874-1956], Douglas S [1876-?], Archibald De M [1877-1930], Lucy Rose [[1881-?] and Myra L [1887-1887].
Jessie is listed in the Australasian Biographical Index (1800-1980), published in 1988. Her obituary was published in the Australian Medical Journal 1953(2), December 5, 1953, pp374-375.
Although Jessie was born in 1881 her birth was not registered until 1905. This late registration of her birth was necessary to enable her to graduate from Sydney University. Her early education was possibly at Forbes Public School. In Sydney she was educated at the Presbyterian College, Croydon, The Riviere College and Kambala. Jessica won many school prizes. In her final school examinations she was first in the state and second in Ancient History.
Her father fought the authorities through the medium of the newspaper to have her appointed as the first female junior medical resident at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH), Camperdown. He wrote a long letter which was published in the Sydney Morning Herald on 6 February, 1906. Over the following days a number of other letters were published, some supporting Jessie’s cause and others very against the idea of a woman doctor in a General Hospital. Until this time women doctors were only allowed to practice with other women doctors in hospitals for women. Eventually, in early May, Jessie was finally permitted to start her residency at the hospital, making her the first woman doctor in New South Wales to work in a general hospital. All this publicity resulted in Jessie tending to live a fairly private life away from public view.
After eighteen months at the RPAH Jessie moved to Hobart, TAS in June 1907. The next year found her working at the Crown Street Women’s Hospital, Surry Hills, NSW, where she became the Medical Superintendent several years later. She also worked as the resident doctor for The Scots College where her father was the Principal. Eventually she moved in to private practice, firstly at Lyon’s Terrace and later at Wyoming, Macquarie St, both in Sydney. Most likely she worked part-time in the Practice of another doctor as she does not advertise her services in the telephone books or in the Medical Directory of Australia.
**PAGE 80**
Jessie and Ambrose lived with their family at “St Killians”, 6 Challis Ave, Potts Point, the property which her father had purchased on his retirement. Soon after Jessie’s marriage her father moved to Eastwood and then to Turramurra so the Freemans had the house to themselves.
Jessie continued to practice after her marriage although this was interrupted by two periods in Malaya to be with her husband in his mining ventures there.
Her last years were spent living with her daughter, Helen.
Jessie also had a country home, “Berida”, at 6 David Street, Bowral.
This was donated by Jessie to the Red Cross in 1941 as a convalescent home for ex-servicemen and their children. Later the property was used as a children’s home. Subsequently the property was sold. It became a health resort before becoming “Bed and Breakfast” accommodation. The property is currently known as the Berida Manor Country Resort-see Internet, including photos [I].
Jessie had an active public life and so was well-known. Some of these public activities are mentioned in her Obituary in the Sydney Morning Herald, Wednesday 2 September, 1953, p5. Soon after the death of Ambrose, Jessie was diagnosed with arteriosclerosis, hardening of the arteries. Ten years later both her heart muscle and cerebral arteries had been affected by the arteriosclerosis. Jessie was no longer able to lead the life-style she had followed earlier.
Her children were educated as boarders at Geelong Grammar, Vic. and Frensham, Mittagong, NSW, leaving Jessie free to pursue her own active public and private life and personal interests.
Ambrose William Freeman had been educated at Newington College, in Sydney. More about Ambrose may be found at: http://about.nsw.gov.au/collections/doc/william-addison-freeman/
