Narrative
Albert married Florence May PINFORD the daughter of Louisa TOMLIN and George Wainwright PINFORD . She was born in 1887 in Leichhardt ,and was in service as a housemaid. Albert died in,1948.
Albert was aged 61 and Florence at 76 years of age. In her latter years she was looked after by her daughters, Olive, Beatrice and Brenda.
Florence never raised her voice; as a midwife for many years she was in control and in her own family she was quietly but very-firmly in control.
Albert was a leader of the Minchester Uinrty I.O. Oddfellows, a Masonic Lodge: and bitterly opposed the marriage of his elderest daughter Olive to a Catholic: not attending the wedding nor speaking to the young couple.
Quietly, but with determination, Florence burnt his Masonic robes while he watched and declared that the children would marry whom ever they chose and there would be no such arguments within the family.
It is of interest that all his daughters married Catholics. Although they lived in a dozen houses., the pattern of Albert's life changed , very little;- brickworks, pub and Church until he died, in Newtown.

Narrative
Albert COOK married Florence May PINFOLD. who following the dissolution of parents marriage has spent some years in an orphange in Randwick with her brother Percival.
Albert and Florence made their home in Newtown.
Albert, a lead setter at the brick company, also wrote up the company books in a beautiful copperplate script. They had 12 children and their life patteren altered very little. Brickyard, home, weekly pub trip, church 3 times on Sunday and a good Masonic Lodge leader.
the marriage of their eldest daugther Olive to a Catholic enraged Albert and he firmily refused to attend the wedding or speak to the young couple so strong was his diapproval.
It was in the mid 1920's, an era of post war freedom and Florence, an always gracious lady and midwife most of her life, quietly and firmly planted her inherited MOSS determination on the ground. The children would mary whom they please .... and promply burnt Albert's Mosonic robes in the fuel stove in protest.
Florence maintained that this was a family and as a family they would stay closley bonded for the next 60 years, their combined unity and strength providing an impregnable barrier against any external force visually, while restructing and fortifying internally.
Albert remained at the brickworks for the whole of his working life.
The brickworks however gave nothing in return other than an insidious desease of dust slowly coating his lung linings, it similarly clained in the long run his three sons John Percival, Albert Louis and Edward. Albert died in 1948.
It can be seen that both families have been powerfully reinforced by thier Christian beleifs, by their love and loyalty of family. Their Christianity is the same even though changes have been made due to conflict, environment and any number of external influences which the family would not have been subjected to had they remained domiciled in their English village. Change has occured in each generation and will do so in the future. this paragraph was taken from "The Yellow booklet written by Patti McDonald Buderium Qld 1988" If there are any errors please let me know and I will admend it.
