she organised in Ballarat
Edwin, like his father, became a carpenter. His wife Louisa's family
owned a bakery business in Ballarat. Edwin and his family moved from
Ballarat to Northcote in Melbourne some time between 1885 and 1888,
when Les was born. They lived in Charles St, and Edwin was a
carpenter and staircase maker. His workbench from his home is still
kept by the person who bought his house after his death, and some
tools are still in the family.
When Edwin died in 1943 he left an estate of £680 real estate
and £119 cash. 52 Dearebin St went to Louisa for life, then proceeds
to surviving daughters.
