(previously noted TR Huxley at Tempe, here’s some more entries that may be of interest)
Huxley Bros, General Store, Manildra; G H Huxley, General Store, Molong; A R Perkins, 21 Woodcourt St,Marrickville; E J Perkins, 118 Petersham Rd, Marrickville; Mrs Eliza Perkins, 14 Fisher St, Petersham; Wm H Perkins, 66 Margaret St, Petersham
Do you know/suspect when / where Thomas Huxley married Elizabeth Perkins?
Was Jack an only child?
Have you contacted the Registrar for Marrickville Juniors RL to see if their records go back to the Depression years and if there’s any clues there.... (And same for the old Newtown RL club)....
When did Jack progress out of the Juniors into COLT competitions.... does that give indication of his then age? Do you know the origin of “Lindsay” as his middle name? .... could it be a clue to a surname from earlier generation/s?
Cheers from Clunky JM who has NOT yet found any evidence that the late Mr and Mrs T Huxley were of Newtown.... sorry ....
