Harold and Alice's eldest daughter Marion was born on 22 May 1919. Though only eight days older than Frank, new-born son of Fred and Vi Elworthy, Marion was actually first cousin to Frank's father Fred!
After finishing school Marion worked as a governess on a property at Rowena (between Wee Waa and Collarenebri) from Feb 1936 to Dec 1938, then taught at a subsidised school until Sep 1939. Following three years at Armidale Teachers College where she graduated in 1941, Marion taught in the New England area until the end of 1945. In 1944 she passed the Australian Music Board examination in Theory of Music Grade 3, gaining a Credit in Grade 2 Pianoforte. Marion continued teaching and became headmistress of Middle Harbour Public School. |
