Hello to Pam Jennings, It's Jan Pfeifer here. Here's an item for the July "Pivot" re Woollen Mills. Charles Persen ( known as Percy) HARRISON was born 15.5.1882 in Belmont (Shire of Sth.Geelong) to Esther HARRISON who was un-married when she had Percy. Charles married 23.10.1907 at the Belmont Baptist Church to Armenia (Nessie) ROGERS.born 1885 Kardinia, Sth.Australia. He worked for years at Hirsts Woollen Mill, South Geelong. & I have recorded that he died aged 76 on 7th October 1958 at the Woollen Mill. Charles & Armenia had Hilda May 1909. William Percival 1910-1991 & Charles Maxwell (Max) 1918-23.2.2003. My own grandmother Elizabeth Alice Maud (known as Alice) born 17.8.1876 who married 1904 to Edwin CHANT is the sister of Charles & was also born to Esther Harrison in Geelong. Esther HARRISON was born 6.4.1849 in Fen Stanton (sub-district of St.Ives) in Cambridgeshire. Esther's twin sister Harriet married 15.4.1873 to John TOMKINS. By the way I have 2 red tartan woollen blankets with the label showing a map of Australia with Federalia Regd written across it & above at top Silicone Treated. At the bottom of the label which is faded a bit it says " Made From Pure Geelong Lambswool by Federal Woollen Mills Limited" Regards, Janette Pfeifer (nee Grundy)
