  • Notes 
    • Charles and Kathleen lived on the Peel Estate and were allotted their own farm. They were later transferred to Bussleton. Times got hard during the depression years and they moved about until 1937 they settled in Bassendean. The 1939-45 war came and Charles joined the Light Horse. Later he went to New Guinea. After the war Charles spent most of his life in the building trade. Charles and Kathleen left W.A. in 1960 with their youngest son Graham who was 16 years old, to tour Australia, but got as far as Whyalla in S.A. They lived there until Charles retired about 1971 returning to W.A.
