A PIONEER OF McCRAE WHEN IT WAS CALLED DROMANA WEST.

My post on the HISTORY OF DROMANA TO PORTSEA Facebook page about young Melbourne Brindle seeing a Rolls Royce for the first time when Sol Green drove through Dromana on the way to Sorrento had me wondering if the bookmaker was associated with the owner of Green's Bush. It seems not.

I found the death notice of a woman who may have been living in the Coburn's original "Springbank" when it was burnt down one Friday night (2-2-1912.)

GREEN Isobel Mary, Death
mother:Green, Clotilde Eugenie Leona, nee Allsop
father: Green, Frederick Richard
Place of death: Camberwell
age, year, reg.no. (93 Years,1989, 22828/1989.

Isobel shared my belief that those who work tirelessly for the community should be rewarded instead of the captains of industry and other big-wigs, as her letter illustrates:

Isobel seemed to be the only person in the world to know what Wannaeue meant.

Unfortunately there is no Fingal parish map so you'll just have to take my word. At the north east corner of the parish is Green's Bush. Apart from E.Russell (probably Edward Russell who was granted almost 80 acres at about Melway 253 J6), the grantees were M.E.Green 626 acres, c/a's 5, 9, 9A; E.C.Green (of Williamstown?) c/a 9B of 108 acres and c/a 8A of 532 acres; and F.R.Green c/a 9C of 145 acres.

Could F.R.Green be Isobel's father?

William Henry Peatey married Sarah Ellen Coe on 23-2-1916 with Ted Green of Main Ridge as his best man.
(Pine Trees and Box Thorns, Rosalind Peatey.)

I reckon this would be the death record of Ted Green who would seem to be Isobel's brother.

Believe it or not, there isn't any history of Green's Bush on the internet. They reckon you can find out anything on the internet but forget to add "if somebody has put it there."
