The original village of Toodyay was one of the earliest inland towns in Western Australia and was subject to flooding, which led to its abandonment in the 1850s,a new townsite was established on higher ground 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) upstream. This was proclaimed by Governor Arthur Kennedy on 1 October 1860 as "Newcastle"[6] and the original settlement came to be referred to as "Old Toodyay". In May 1910, due to confusion with the New South Wales city of Newcastle, a name-change to Toodyay was proposed[5] and the original townsite, which had by this time declined substantially, became "West Toodyay". | Hackett, Mary (I11864)

The twin brother of Vivian Rex Smith.
The twins were so small they were not dressed, just wrapped and carried around on a cushion. Leo attended Warnertown Primary School and then Prince Alfred College. He was a pattern maker at Perry Engineering, then at Islington Railway Yards. He was out of work in the depression. He did carpentery work at home in his shed. He joined the Air Force during World War II and told his wife afterwards. He worked on aircraft maintenance. he suffered in a road accident near Darwin during the war in 1943 and spent 5 months in hospital. He endured noises in his head for the rest of his life but never complained. He came home from the war about three months before it ended. Later he was an agent for T&G Insurance. He was a kind and caring person. He played the trumpet as a young man and later the saxophone. He built a 32 foot boat in his backyard. In 1960 they travelled overseas to Europe.
As small boys Leo, his twin brother Rex and his older brother Cedric, better known as Sid, were taken to the local school by their mother in the Sulky. When they were older they walked. When they were older still they rode their ponies. It was while they were at the age for waling to school that they also bought the bread for their mother on the way home from school. Six loaves at a time meant two each, an awkward load for each in addition to books, and being still fresh it was also a temptation for them. Lunch time was far behind them and the evening meal would have to wait until their father came in from ploughing. The temptation was too much. They sat behind the scimpy bushes at the side of the road and pulled log strips of fresh bread from the centre of one loaf. Well they wer hungrier than they thought and before they fully realized the extent of their nibblings half the loaf was gone! There was no way they could explain that! So they ate the rest of the loaf and stuffed the crust down a rabbit burrow. As far as their mother ever knew the shop had run out of bread and could only supply five loaves!
Life seems to have been full of hazards and the boys got up to as much trouble as modern boys do. It is truly miraculous that they ever lived to adulthood. On one occasion the boys were swimming with another friend in the dam. No doubt they were not supposed to. Well when they clambered out there were only three, not four of them. They couldn't find Leo anywhere. So they grabbed a tree branch as thick around as a person's trunk and thrust it into the muddy water hoping to touch him. They hit him in the stomach first try and he grabbed the limb and clung on until they had him safely on shore. They threatened their friend with all sorts of awful things if he ever told anyone. Apparently he never did and it wasn't until many years later that they told their mother.
Well that was leo nearly gone! Sid nearly didn't make it either. The boys went poking around all sorts of places where they shouldn't On one such occasion they were in the Worman s sleeping quarters. He had left his rifle on the table. Rex picked it up and aimed it just for a joke at Sid at the other end of the room. Sid screamed at him not to be a fool: it might be loaded. Rex wouldn't believe him and said that no-one ever left rifles lying around loaded and Just to prove it he aimed it at the ceiling and blew a hole right through to the blue sky outside!
On another occasion they all nearly came to a swift end. They were visiting the farm of Neighbours and also poking around the sheds where they found a bullet from a .303 army type rifle. It was as thick as you little finger and as long. Leo thought he would see what would happen if you hit it with a hammer instead of firing it from a rifle! He took the hammer and slammed it! An enormous explosion rocked the shed. They dived for the floor and somehow escaped injury. They could all have been killed. There was no way they could cover up that incident!
Maybe the most vivid of the stories is the one about the mice plague of 11914 or thereabouts. The twins were boys of about twelve at the time. The life on the farm had been the same, season in season out, with only variations because of rainfall or frost until suddenly one morning they woke to find not dozens, not Hundreds or even thousands but millions of mice! They were everywhere: in the house, in between the sheets, racing under doors, but most thickly in the shed where feed was abundant.
Their father used to keep the wheat for feeding in a tank separate from the rest. It was usually half filled so that you could bend over and scoop it out with a tin to feed the chooks. The mice were so thick they formed a ramp about two feet thick from the level of the wheat up to the top of the tank! The scrambled up over each other in a living conveyor belt around the entire tank!
In the shed were the chaff was kept mice burrowed in and gave birth to young pink-skinned mice. As the chaff was lifted to feed the horsed the babies fell out or were torn away with some of the chaff so that the horses wouldn't feed. The horses hated the smell of the mice and became very restless and difficult to feed.
At Night the boys and their father would place sheets of iron on the sloping haystack with a Bucket of water under each. In the morning they would empty thirty buckets of mice!
In the big shed, maybe fifty feet long and thirty feet wide, the floor was entirely covered by a seething, rippling mass of mice. Rex says no-one can ever imagine what that was really like unless they had seen it. There was no way you could walk in there without high boots., Even then, imagine treading on living creatures every step you took, even though you had come to hate every single one of them.
Everyone seemed to come out in a rash during the Mice plague, especially on the hands. it was red blotches with flaky skin on the surface. It itched and was sore. They used the oil and kerosene mixture that they used on hens with lice, to keep it bearable
Perhaps the most stomach-churning part of it all is the story of the workman for the boys' Aunt. He was an old man about 90 at the time and use to tend the fowls and potter around being useful in return for his keep. He was too old to be particularly careful about washing and would sometimes go to bed after feeding the fowls their mash, without washing his hands. he did this during the mice plague too and the mice stripped not only the mash from his fingers during the night, but his skin as well!
It went as suddenly as it had come but the five-month mouse plague was a vivid memory for those who experienced it.
Th above true stories were told by Rex and recorded by his daughter, Cynthia. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992) | Smith, Leonard Jack (I5171)

The word bespoke derives from the verb bespeak, to speak for something, in the specialised meaning of "to give order for it to be made."[1] Fashion terminology reserves bespoke for individually patterned and crafted men's clothing, analogous to women's haute couture,[2] as opposed to mass-manufactured ready-to-wear (off-the-peg or off-the-rack). The term originated on Savile Row, a street in London considered the "Golden Mile of tailoring".[3]
Bespoke clothing is traditionally cut from a pattern drafted from scratch for the customer, and so differs from ready-to-wear, which is factory made in finished condition and standardised sizes, and from made to measure, which is produced to order from an adjusted block pattern. The opposition of terms did not initially imply that a bespoke garment was necessarily well built, but since the development of ready-to-wear in the beginning of the twentieth century,[4] bespoke clothing is now more expensive and is generally accompanied by a high quality of construction.[n 1]
While the distinction conferred by haute couture is protected by law in France,[n 2] the British Advertising Standards Authority has ruled it is a fair practice to use the term "bespoke" for products that do not fully incorporate traditional construction methods.[5] The Savile Row Bespoke Association, a trade group of traditional tailors, disagrees.[n 3][6] But it has taken no formal step to challenge the ruling. | Lane, George (I10740)

Thelma was the second child of six. When the fifth child was born her mother suffered a mental breakdown and their father decided the eldest four children would be better cared for if they were made wards of the state. Thelma's earliest recollection is of being taken suddenly from a loving home and being put into an institution with seemingly hundreds of other children. It was all so strange and upsetting for her. She was only 5.5 years old. It was known that they were only to be boarded out to foster parents who were prepared to take the four of them. Because of this they remained in the home for many month. Eventually a childless couple took them. This was a big improvement. There was no more queuing up to enter the huge dining room and of waiting to be rushed through the bath like sheep going through the dip and no more being reprimanded for talking after lights out.
Their foster parents were kind to them except that on Saturday mornings they were all given a good dose of castor oil. The didn't like that. But they enjoyed the stick-jaw-type toffee that their foster mother made and called "taffy". Thelma cannot remember being hungry there but the four of them often enjoyed eating handful of dry bran and pollard for the chooks from the bins stacked in the garden sheds. They also relished nasturtium leaves and freshly picked unwashed raw mushrooms. Thelma started school at 7 while with these folk. Later in the yar there was great excitement when they were reunited with their parents.
At 10, just before the sixth child was born, Thelma and her elder sister Leila were sent to their grandparents on their father's side. Leila remained there for 9 months and Thelma for two years. She was very homesick after her sister left and resented her grandmother keeping her there against her will. She did not appreciate the strict discipline nor the training her grandmother gave her in how to run a home. Her grandmother took great pains to teach her all she knew. One would almost think she could foresee the future as when Thelma left school at 14 the depression was on, Jobs were scarce. Thelma was thankful to find domestic work and was employed as a housekeeper. She was never out of work until she married 24 years later.
Thelma loved change and was soon known as the family "rolling stone". She worked in four states in varied occupations; as housekeeper to Dr Thering, Housemaid/receptionist to Dr Stayner, Housekeeper to the Consul General for Czechoslovakia, Dr Knevton and his wife, Waitress and housemaid at the Carrington Hotel in Katoomba, New South Wales; Waitress at the Commercial Travellers' Club in Melbourne Victoria; and also worked in the Munitions' Factory in Footscray during the war. She worked in Mark Foy's Shirt Factory, Simpson's Tin Factory and Phillips Electrical Industries. She did egg testing and apricot packing, was a Housekeeper to Mr Haslatt and his wife of Knox boys' College, worked at the Naval Lodge in Jervis Bay, New South Wales and Acton House in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. Finally she was a shop assistant in Orroroo, Karoonda and Tailem Bend (where she met Arthur).
The were married in Adelaide and two years later when the lease expired on the property Arthur was working at Coomandook, they moved to Claywells. Their son Geoff was w.5 years old when they took Jenny from Welfare. She was 5.5 months old and they adopted her when she was 2. By this time Arthur was crippled with Arthritis in the hip, Thelma enjoyed 33 years at "Woodlands". the days were long and sometimes the work was hard but she fount it very rewarding. When Arthur was 70, they left the farm in Geoff's hands and did some travelling around Australia and abroad. They saw New Zealand, America, Europe and China. Thelma has never participated in sport since leaving school. Her hobbies are gardening, solving crossword puzzles and being in the company of her grandchildren. She considers herself fortunate in having such caring children who are hard-working and law-abiding citizens. She is thankful for all the good things that have come her way.

There is a discrepancy with the date of death, Tamiot 2nd ed. 1999 has Arthur Weguelin Greene death as 04 Jul 1987, whilst the Supreme Court of Tasmania, granting of probate has his death as the 02 Jul 1987. Whether this is a transcription error on Tamiot part or the wrong date is on the Headstone. without a photo of the headstone I can't tell. I am going with the Supreme Court of Tasmania's date of death until proved otherwise. | Greene, Arthur Weguelin (I10732)

There is an article on Robert John Holman in the ALDINE'S HISTORY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA VOL.2 PAGE 623. Bob bought a farm at Nelshaby and built a stone house where he took his young bride Eliza Rosanna; their five children were born in that house. Bob was a man of great moral strength and courage. When his wife died he was faced with the awesome responsibility of raising his five young children alone. When Eliza died, their children were placed with Hawkins/Tucker relatives; the youngest two Cyril and Thomas went to stay with their grandmother, Miriam Jane Hawkins (nee Tucker) Stan went to Lilly May Smith, Robert Leland to Ethel Dow and Effie was looked after by Hartley Hawkins and his wife Bertha.
Bob bought 5,000 acres of farming land at Wanilla, South Australia, from Mr W.T. Mortlock. He built a home there for his family (the stone chimney still stands in 1989 as a memorial to his work). Bob called his farm "Ashley Farm" after his uncle, Thomas Atkinson's farm at Willunga. It had been the name of the Atkinson farm in Lincolnshire, England. In October 1907. Bob gathered his family to him. They travelled by train from Warnertown to Wallaroo, where they boarded a vessel, the "Rupara" and sailed to Port Lincoln. When Bob arrived at Port Lincoln with his family on October 75h 1907, they had Brought with them furniture and 2 cows. Mr Arthur Hall, who was working for Bob, walked the cows 23 miles to the farm, staying overnight at the "Fountain" with Mr. Sep Roberts.
Effie, at nearly 14 years, was given a formidable task of house-keeping for her father and four younger brothers. Effie cooked on a wood stove and an open fire; utensils were of cast iron. Clothes were boiled in a copper and all the trousers were cleaned on a scrubbing board using a scrubbing brush. Life at Wanilla was very difficult due to extremely wet weather; Crops planted were destroyed by heavy rains and the boggy conditions killed off a lot of the livestock. Bob became very ill after a time and was nursed by his children. This would have been about 1909; Bob thought he had consumption. He had been a great believer in Homeopathy Medicine (a system of medicine introduced by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann in the 19th century; it was preferable to the over-drugging and blood-letting by leaches that had been practised in the previous centuries) and had studied that subject in depth. He always treated himself and his children successfully with Homeopathy. He had great faith in a tonic called "Vita Dact" which came in 1.5 pint bottles. He never consulted a doctor (of orthodox medicine) and never had a chest X-ray; He made a complete recovery.
The older sons with their father cleared and fenced many acres of land, but eventually after much sweat and toil, they were unable to keep up payments and the property was repossessed by Mortlock. Bob moved his family to Cummins where he worked on the new railway lines to Kimba and Darke Peak. When world War I started the two elder sons joined the Light horse and fought in Egypt and Palestine.
When new leases of land were allocated in the Hundred of Wannaman, Bob was allocated Section 30 on 16 September 1915 at Kyancutta. He camped there for some time before being joined by his other sons, Cyril and Tom. Effie married in 1915. Bob with the help of his sons, built a stone house on section 30 (now owned by a great-grandson, Trevor Holman). In 1920 he married Jane Nosworthy of Bald Hills, Yankalilla.
Bob was a truly remarkable man who never lost his faith in God, a mighty man of love, fortitude and courage. He was still farmin and lay-preaching in the Methodist Church until 1940. In 1942, he had a fall from his horse while rounding up his sheep; he never recovered fully from the concussion and broken ribs he received in the fall. He died in Adelaide, following a "stroke". He was survived by his 5 children and 27 grandchildren. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992) | Holman, Robert John (I2530)
