Hi again Paul

I had some of this info but not all, so thanks again.

I didn't realise that Sydney Court and Violet Shingles married when she was 25 and he was only 18 (or even possibly 17)! Also it seems incredible that his younger brother Alfred was already a coal miner at age 15. But I guess that's how fast children had to grow up in those days, start earning a living and put food on the table.

Regards, Bronwyn
