bullet  Noted events in his life were:

• He worked as a Mailman Crookwell to Tuena from 1896 to 1906 in Crookwell, King County, New South Wales. There is some conjecture that he ran the mail run from Crookwell to Goulburn. Perhaps he did both.

In addition to mail and passengers, he used to carry gold. He wrapped the gold in newspaper and kept it at his feet. He was never robbed.

• He worked as a Blacksmith & Shop Keeper before 1911 in Maronglo, New South Wales, Australia. One the first day a big team of draught horses arrived to be shod. And it nearly killed him and we think this is the reason he does not seem to have kept on the blacksmithing.

• Moved: from Morongla Creek to Orange., Cir 1914, Orange, Wellington County, New South Wales. There are two stories of why they left the shop and moved to Orange. One is that it was too dusty. The other is that the business was running at a loss because the debtors were not paying their debts.

• Living at "Bony Brae" in Summer Street, Orange, Wellington County, New South Wales in After 1914. Had a wood yard at the back of the house and they sold wood.

• He was Elder in Elim Four Square Gospel after 1918 in Orange, Wellington County, New South Wales, Australia. They would meet in the Orange town hall.

• He owned the Orchard "Renuara" at Anson Road, Orange between 1921 and 1955 in Orange, Wellington County, New South Wales, Australia. Telephone number - Orange 710

The women (Louisa, Ivy and Daisy) moved in a taxi "limousine". The driver's name was Bowler Forester, call Bowler because he wore a bowler hat.

He kept the Orchard until the 1950's when he sold it and it was subdivided for housing.

• He was employed on 22 Feb 1936 in Orange, Wellington County, New South Wales, Australia. Carrier - On Percy's Mariage Certificate.

• Living in 29 Sep 1941 at Orange, Wellington County, New South Wales. From the obituary of brother Charles.
