Name:
From Faith Boxold,
Emily died at 'The Falls', Lynmouth, North Devon, England. She came to live with us after Grandad (Isaac) died, first at Laidan House, Lynmouth, then at 'The Falls'. This is not 'The Falls' where Wal and Marg now live, they called their place 'The Falls' after mum and dad's place. Mary Squire and her husband 'Spider' visited us when we were at 'Laiden House', Lynmouth.

When Reg and I visited England in 1982, we visited their grave and put flowers on it from their old garden 'Staunton Cottage', Staunton Meade, plus some hydrangeas from a house further up the lane - a Mr and Mrs Coles. They had an elderly lady living with them who said she could remember Isaac and Emily.

Emily married Isaac SQUIRE on 5 Jul 1877 in Exton, Somerset, England. Isaac (son of Isaac SQUIRE and Mary REDWOOD) was born on 02 Dec 1846 in Wiveliscombe, Somerset, England; was christened on 25 Dec 1846 in Wiveliscombe, Somerset, England; died on 22 Dec 1924 in Alcombe, Dunster, Somerset, England .

Notes:

Died:
I discovered a terrific new piece of family history information today (2 June 2023). My sister Val has always recounted the story of visiting a cousin in Melbourne with our mum and dad. He was Vic FOX, but the name meant nothing to me. I had a few minutes spare this morning, so I had a look at Victorian bdm records for Vic. There were several entries, but one had the mother's surname of GILL, which is also dad's mother's maiden name. Vic's parents were James FOX and Emily GILL. Dad's mother was Ethel GILL, and it turns out she has a sister Emily GILL. I purchased Vic's birth certificate, and his parent's marriage certificate, and the proof is there - Ethel and Emily are sisters. Now, I will have to see who else came to Australia. Emily came to Australia in 1890, which is consistent with her not appearing in the 1891 census records. She was single and recorded as a nurse, so she probably worked as a nurse till she married Vic FOX in 1902.

Emily married James FOX on 8 May 1902 in Richmond, Victoria, Australia. James (son of Richard FOX and Agnes MITCHEM) was born in 1872 in Wool Wool, Victoria, Australia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Name:
John Squire was born on 7 September 1881, at Staunton Cottage, Staunton Meade, Alcombe, Somerset, Eng. I have a photocopy of his birth certificate. On the birth Certificate of his son, Ken, he describes his birthplace as Hemyock, Devon, England.

He came to Australia in 1911, and settled at Pt Wakefield, working as a Wheelwright for the South Australian Railways. On 31 October 1914, he married Ethel Gill at Pt. Adelaide. They were married in the Pt. Adelaide Methodist Church (in Dale St.) by Rev. Robert Ernest Stanley. Constance M Stanley and Maude H Rann were witnesses. Their only child, Ken, was born at Sister Whitford's Private Hospital, Hamley Bridge, and grew up in Pt Wakefield. The family moved to 37 Stephens Terrace, Torrensville, prior to 1943. This was possibly on John's retirement as a coachbuilder. Ethel died on 6 April 1943, at the Torrensville residence, and is buried at Centennial Park Cemetery.

John and Ethel are recorded in the Sands and MacDougal directories as living in Port Wakefild in 1919, 1936-43.

Notes:

Name:
According to Faith Boxold, Lottie died at Lynton Cottage Hospital, Lynton, North Devon, England. She was living with Wal and Marg, at their present home 'The Falls', 22 Tors Road, Lynmouth, and had a stroke. She was moved to the hospital at Lynton, but rallied a bit and was moved to a home for elderly people. She then had another stroke, from which she died.

There was a flood at Lynmouth in 1952, caused a lot of damage throughout the place, and it undermined the house that mum and dad were living in. They were running a Private Hotel and they and their guests had to take refuge in the upper rooms. All their personal posessions were in the basement which was flooded and filled with rocks and boulders. They lost most everything, only the guests' bedroom furniture was salvagable. Lorna and Len from Bristol came down and did what they could, also Wal from London (?). Mum and dad then went to live in Bristol with Lorna and Len, and it was after this that dad got ill and died. Then mum went to live with Wal and Marg at Lynmouth. Reg and I were in NZ at this time.

Notes:

Name:
Ken was born at Whitford's Private Hospital, Hamley Bridge in the mid north of South Australia, to John and Ethel, who lived at Port Wakefield at the time. Probably on John's retirement from the railways, they moved to Torrensville, from where Ken met Connie.

Ken did an apprenticeship as an electrical fitter, but must have begun studying accountancy at nightschool almost immediately. By the early fifties, he had begun practising as a public accountant, and had an office at 308 North Terrace (city) for some years. He also began building spec. homes. During the fifties, he moved the family to Glenside, then Beaumont. While at Beaumont (about 1958), Ken began working as administrator for the Congregational Union (church) in Adelaide,and as a result, he and the family switched from Methodism to Congregationalism. He also moved to Toorak Gardens soon after. During the sixties, he began to explore opportunities for the church to be involved in building and managing aged home and nursing centres. He gradually became fulltime in aged care management, being involved at Rose Park, and consulting for several other centres, under the banner of the Congregational Homes for the Aged. They had also moved to Tusmore, and then to a Manager's unit at the Rose Park Aged Homes' complex.

After Connie died in 1974, Ken retired and moved to Belair. He had an interest in travel, and owned a motor home for some years. He had a number of cancers, and died of throat cancer in 1984.
