Notes:

?i?From Lynelle Stewart - ?/i?

Albert Edward Miller (1902-1974), known as Pop to his grandchildren, and Abby to his family and friends, met Ivy Lillian Maud Rose (1899-188), Ma, while she was working as a cook at the 'Pride of Erin' hotel in Warwick. Abby was not a drinker so they may have met at a dance or playing tennis as they enjoyed and did both well.

After their marriage, 26 Sep 1923, at Guyra, New South Wales, Abby had to find work as previously he had worked for his father on the family farm for his keep and pocket money, but there was not enough to support another family. His father also had race horses so I've been told.

He did timber felling and fencing in the early years until he was hit on the head with a branch (1929-30) which left him with a cross on his skull. He always said that he was the holiest person around!. After he recovered he went to work on the Council, mostly doing garbage collecting until the war years with the Garrison. After the war until he retired at the age of 70 he was a cleaner for David Jones Department Store, then Walton's Department Store and finally at Repco Auto Parts.

Pop was a bit of a bower bird, which is the Australian slang for hoarding, probably a leftover from the Depression, when people had nothing. He always had chickens (chooks we call them), grew bananas and pawpaws (a tropical fruit) on the rocky ground and grew lovely frangipani and hydrangeas, so there was still a bit of the farmer in him.
