Note: -------------------------
When Hugh was born the Midwife thought he looked like a Reggie and hence the nickname stuck with him right throughout his life. He had a few health issues when he was a baby and was late in talking but apparently made up for lost time when he started. He also had trouble walking and had an iron on his leg to help him which was removed later on as his strength grew.
Hugh's birth was registered under Watson and later under Price, after Albert married his mother Henrietta, presumably around the time he was old enough to apply for a job.
Reggie was a staunch church goer and contributed a great deal towards his local parish at All Souls' Anglican Church at Leichhardt. His faith was so great he would often write down a reference to a special bible verse on a birthday card or in the front of a book as a gift for family and friends. You would often see him riding his pushbike around the local area. Unfortunately Reggie was knocked down by a car whilst riding his bike later in life and spent the last few years in a nursing home around Ashfield.
