| Personal Notes: |
|
Albert was the first born child of Nellie and Herman. In 1904, when he was one year old, his parents purchased rural land which had been subdivided from the large pastoral holding 'Colinton Station', in the Brisbane Valley near the township of Moore. The original area was added to over the years by the addition of adjoining blocks.
Albert and his brothers were educated at the Moore State SchooL One brother, Stanley, died at the age of two years. Albert and his remaining brothers, Leslie, George and Robert, assisted their parents in establishing the property which had been named 'Glen Hills'. During the early establishment years, when income was limited, it was necessary for Albert, the eldest, to earn his livelihood in other pursuits. This included a stint in North Queensland working in a sugar mill and, during the mid-1920's, he worked as a transport driver in a carrying service in Brisbane, using a motor-truck owned by his Uncle, Harry Andison. Soon after his marrage to Doris Mears of Toogoolawah, they moved to Southport in Queensland, where he operated a milk vending business delivering to Southport, Main Beach and to what is now known as Surfers Paradise. Albert returned to 'Glen Hills', living and working there until his 90th year, when he retired. Eventually, the property was divided between Albert and his surviving brothers, George and Robert, who both pre-deceased him. Albert's mother and father were well known for their hospitality, and relatives and friends were always welcome, and many today often recall the happy times they enjoyed at 'Glen Hills'. Albert and Doris continued the family tradition, their hospitality also becoming well known and appreciated. In his younger years, Albert was a very keen rifle shooter and had considerable success on various rifle ranges. He and Doris generously supported various charities and worthwhile causes in the Moore-Toogoolawah district. On their retirement, Albert and Doris went to live at the Alkira Retirement Village in Toogoolawah, where they spent their final years. There were no children. |
This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources. g.bell@bigpond.net.au When you click the mail address abouve, if it does not open your email app, copy the address on the screen.
