Notes
- Mary (Molly) was born 28 July 1892 in Minyip, Vic. In 1906, at the age of 14, Molly was taken by Addie from the family home in Jeparit, Vic., to be trained in domestic work at the guest house at Spion Kop. She apparently also rowed the guests from the railway station across the bay to the guest house. Molly returned home from Woy Woy 4 years later, when she married William Griffiths in 1910 at Ascot Vale, Vic., and they lived at Flemington, Melbourne. She had two children, William (b. 21 June 1912 in Williamstown) and Roma (b. 3 June 1914 at St Kilda). Molly returned to Railway View about 1916 with her daughter Roma, and stayed there until about 1922. She subsequently operated "Bed & Breakfast" accomodation around inner Sydney and the Blue Mountains for some years, and later a delicatessen shop. Molly had another son John Griffiths, who was reported lost at sea, and married John Thompson in 1945. She died in 1972 at Bankstown.
