Hi Mary
This is not my family, but the family of close friend. I think I knew her family better than she does, lol.
Henry STONE was a very successful butcher in Footscray. He had a large family. The family vault at Footscray cemetery is possibly the largest there. Please google ‘Henry Stone Durham Ox’.
Henry’s father, also a butcher, died young. He left a wife, Jane FRY and a young family. I believe both Henry and Jane were trained to be butchers after the death of Henry’s father. It’s possible that Jane went on to have her own butchering business with brother. I need to research this further though.
Bitzar.
