Notes
a. Note:   The following notes were written by Jean R Smith in 1996.

 My first memory of Auntie Olive was visiting her at her place of work when I was seven years old. She was housemaid to a Miss Mathews in Albert St. East Melbourne opposite St Patricks Cathederal. We were asked to wait in the front salon. I can still see the beautiful antiques that were in that room and sitting there thinking, "this could have been ours if grandpa had not lost everything!". I can recall it all so plainly that I believe that was my start to family history. From that day on I was an avid listener to all the old stories.

 More notes written by Jean R Smith in 1996 concerning "Olive".


 Olive became a housemaid to a Jewish lady (Miss Mathews) who lived at 408 Albert St. East Melbourne. She never married. A lovely lady and a great friend to me in my teenage years when she came to live with us. She used to talk to me a lot about her history and I still have the notebook I used to write the information in. This helped me a lot when I began our tree in ernest.
