Jack travelled as ship's Anglican chaplain. He had been invited by Bishop Elsey of Kalgoorlie to go to the parsh of Bouder. England to Boulder, what a shock. We left England not realising it would be for the rest of our lives, ending up with a family of nine.

  • Both Jack and Norah were very kind to us and helped us when my husband had a near fatal accident We were glad to use their pram that had been slept in by all 9 of their babies
