There were/are a lot of farms just out of Wonthaggi. Mary Lillian Rose WINTLE's father was a miner. She appeared with her parents on the 1943 Wonthaggi Roll, occupation 'home duties'. Thomas WELSH was listed as a 'Farm Hand' living with his parents on the 1937 Wonthaggi Electoral Roll. Mary Lillian Rose WELSH and husband Thomas (Photographer) were listed as resident at Orrong (Melbourne) on the 1949 and 1954 Electoral Rolls. Olive GLENN and husband were also living at Orrong in 1949, not at the same address but a couple of streets away. In 1963 Thomas and 'Rose' WELSH were back in Wonthaggi, Thomas' occupation listed as 'nil'. Residence 123 Broome Crescent. In 1968 and 1972 'Rose', by then widowed, had no other 'WELSH' living with her at that same address. John Alan GLENN (possible son) was listed on the electoral rolls, with Olive, in 1963, 1968, 1972 and 1977. No Andrew GLENN listed at the same address. Did Thomas and Rose have any children? I will message you privately regarding a William George WELSH, as he may still be living. Anne Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
