Jean Muriel Pearce was born 30Apr1925 in Petone NZ the second daughter of Jack and Jean Pearce. She was just a baby when the family sailed to Sydney.
Stories tell of Jack 'helping' with the dirty nappies on the voyage over by throwing them out the port hole!
Poor Jean had few nappies left on arrival in Sydney.
According to cousin Molly, baby Jean was the favourite of Grandma Newey with whom the family lived for a time after their arrival.
There are several photos of Jean and baby sister Dorothy with their mother - in one they each are holding a tennis racquet!
I presume that, like Helene, both Jean and Dorothy did their schooling at Brookvale Primary School when the family lived at Consul St.
I have no details of Jean's schooling.
I am not sure what Jean's first job was on leaving school. I believe she did work in a Department Store for a time.
Jean joined the AWAS - Australian Women's Auxilliary Service - and served for 4 years from 1943-47.
She enlisted on 8Jun1943 at Paddington and was discharged 23Jun1947.
During this time she was engaged to an American called Wally. He was a rear tail gunner and was killed in action.
Sometime later Jean met Colin Newton Williams whom she would eventually marry. But not for many years to come.
Jean lived at 4 Francis St, Fairlight with her parents until they died - Jack in 1960, Jean in 1968 -
and moved to Balgowlah Heights soon after her marriage to Colin in Jun1969.
During all those years Jean worked in the city, travelling every day by the Manly Ferry.
Every morning Jean got up very early and took their dog 'Patchy', then 'Ragsy' for a walk up to Fairlight to get the days groceries for the house.
I loved that house. The big solid door with the green glass, the smell - a mixture of old house and gas - holds special memories,
the beautiful multicoloured carpet runner down the hallway passed the two bedrooms,
the living room with the beautiful sideboard next to the gas fire under the mantel (from this we hung our stockings at Christmas time),
the picture rail around the wall, into the kitchen with the old 'stand alone' gas stove, the big kitchen cupboard and table with the sink under the window.
Into the bathroom with its huge built in copper and bath to one end with that evil gas heater that terrified me.
Out the back under the verandah was a wooden crate which was used mostly to store old papers etc -
when cousin Margaret and I visited we would transform into our cubbyhouse.
The grassed area was small but lush with a high back fence with purple morning glory vines growing up it.
The pathway up the side of the house led to another world under the house -
a musty cavern used for storage which was very cool in temperature because it was cut out of the sandstone.
I just loved those huge front sandstone steps going up the side of No 4 and back down No 6.
From the stoop I could survey the whole domain and felt like a queen. I always wanted to live on the top side of the street like at No 4!
I loved all the front fences from the house to the shops. I used to try and walk along them all.
I am sure I made my Aunt squirm with embarassment at times at my attempts at being an acrobat.
I loved the shops - the greengrocer where the man used to say 'one and siggies, two and siggies' (translated means one shilling and six pence!)
and especially the cake shop. It was the pink bird shaped meringue that caught my eye on my first visit.
Everyone used to always buy me one when we visited the cake shop. Years later we were talking about it and I was asked why I always had the same cake.
I replied that I just liked the look of it, did not even like the taste of it but was never brave enough to say so during all those years.
Would much preferred a chocolate eclair!
Friday was 'Go to Town Day' to meet Jean for lunch. All the visitors would get dressed in their best clothes, new shoes and blisters and all, and head for the Ferry.
I especially remember Nani on these days. She loved to get dressed up - everything matched, the hat, the gloves, the handbag, the shoes.
Her large hearing aid and accessories were always a challenge - making sure the batteries weren't flat
and hiding that cumbersome batterypack in her lace petticoat were also. Sometimes we would get the double decker bus down to the Ferry -
I always wanted to go upstairs. It was so exciting walking up the plank to get aboard the ''South Steyne" or one of the other large ferries for the journey across the Heads to Circular Quay. I loved to stand and look down at the clanking engine of the ferry or stand out the front and watch the bow cut through the swell.
I remember the trams up from Circular Quay to the centre of town then to the Coles Cafeteria or the one at DJs. It was all so wonderful.
Colin also worked in the city and lived at the Tattersalls Club Hotel. He worked at Horden Bros, then at Anthony Hordens, eventually managing their midcity store.
For years they had a weekly routine of visiting Mrs Williams for dinner one night, the pictures or a show another night, dinner with either of Col's sisters June or Peggy another night. On Friday night they had dinner with Nani and Colin slept on a stretcher in the loungeroom. Saturday was a busy day with shopping, washing, ironing, and washing the MG car which was garaged next door at No 2 - the Medinas. Sunday was a day of rest which in summer meant a day at the beach sunbaking.
Both Jean and Col had the best tans. A picnic lunch would be prepared - fresh soyabread sandwiches of devon and cheese to be washed down with ice cold bottles of GI lime - followed by a special icecream.
After Pop ('Jack') died in 1960 Jean and Nani continued on at No 4. The previous years had not been easy with Pop's cancer making him not the easiest person to live with. Throughout it all Nani's sense of humour kept her going. Sadly two accidents caused Nani to become 'strange' and the next few years were a nighmare for Jean. Dot helped as much as she could. Nani died Dec1968.
Jean worked for John Nossiter, an Accountant, for many years. Over Christmas holidays of 1964 I lived with the Nossiters for a few weeks in Buckingham Rd, Killara and helped in the office (I think that was in Castlereagh St). Later it became Nossiter & English. In the mid 80s Jean changed jobs and worked in York St.
For years Jean had been the loyal worker - the family retainer even. And for years overworked and underpaid. So she hitched up her skirt, put a different tint in the hair, lowered her age, demanded more money, got the job and the money.
Jean only 'retired' after Colin had a stroke in the late 1990s. She now has a 'home office'. Many of her longtime clients still want her to do their books.
They just don't feel right letting anyone else do them.
Jean and Colin live the quiet life now, meeting up with Hennie and June for dinner every week. | Jean Muriel PEARCE

The following is information passed down through Thelma Watts' (great grandaughter of Christoff) family.
Christoff was in possession of medals from the Prussian Army, presumably awarded to him prior to his departure to Australia.
The primary reason for the family's migration was to protect their son, Frederick Wihelm, from the rigours of continual warring in Germany.
The family travelled to Armidale, NSW and settled with Mr Dangar at Gostwyck Station and learned about farming.
They moved to Ashford around 1866 and settled on a 400 acre settlers grant, and then gradually bought out other settlers until they acquired a total of 2,000 acres.
Amongst other farming activities, Christoff and Wilhelm bred horses for the Indian army. They were the owners of the famous stallion 'Krupp'. These horses commanded high prices of twenty to sixty pounds sterling - a fortune in comparative value today.

mitted to the Hospita] some days
ago in a septic condition. The
police had their suspicions as to the
cause of deatih, and required time to make

YOUNG WOMAN'S DEATH
RESULT OF ILLEGAL OPERATION.
CORONER'S VERDICT.
The Coroner (Mr. Harold Wright'),
after inquiring yesterday into the death
of Sylvia Violet Plummer, single, aged 23,
which occurred at the Hobart Public Hos-
pital on July 13, returned a verdict that
death was due to an illegal operation, but
by whom it was performed there was no
evidence to show. The inquest was held
in the magistrate's room at the police
station. Mr. Eric Johnson represented
Frederick Herbert Eiszele, who made a
statement that he had had relations with
the young woman, but knew nothing
about the cause of her death. The pro-
ceedings were conducted by Chief Detec-
tive-Inspector Oakes.
Dr. Ratten,l Surgeon-Superintendent of
the Hobart Public Hospital, stated that
Sylvia Plummer was admitted to the hos-
pital on July 8, in a septic condition.
The usual treatment was applied, but her
condition did not improve. Subsequently,
he found that a criminal abortion had
been committed, and he reported it to the
police. The young woman died on July 13.
Detective-Sergt. Fleming stated he in-
terviewed the deceased about her condi-
tion. That was when she was in the hos-
pital. She told him she had been brought
to the hospital from a dilapidated two
story place in Macquarie-street, but did
not know who it was brought her. She
also said she had been up at the house
for a few days. She had been employed
at the Mental Diseases Hospital at New
Norfolk, where she said she had a fall on
some asphalt and felt very ill afterwards.
Jane Bennet Power, matron at the
Mental Diseases Hospital, said the de-
ceased had been at the institution since
April 9, 1924. On Monday, July 5, she
left on 14 days leave but she did not
mention to witness that she was ill from
the result of a fall, or that she intended getting married while away.
Ottilie Ohlsen, crtincated nurse, who
said she kept a private hospital at 88
Goulburn-street, stated she failed to re-
member a girl named Plummer coming to
the hospital. She had never seen her.
Neither to her knowledge did a man
named Eiszele call at the hospital and
inquire about the condition of a girl. Her
sister often attended to patients, and did
not always mention their names.
Violet Elsie Plummer, sister of the de-
ceased, residing at New Town, said she
visited her sister in the hospital on July
9. She said the detectives had been to
see her in the morning about her condi-
tion, but, having promised to tell them
nothing, she had told them she had been
to the Ouse in order to put them off the
track. She also said: "The dreadful
woman almost killed me and then brought
me to the hospital." She however, could
not remember the woman's name, nor did
she see her face properly, because her
eyes were affected.
Mr. Oakes: You say she said she misled
the detective in order to keep her pro-
mise?-Yes.
Mr. Oakes: Did she say what the pro-
mise was?-No.
Mr. Oakes: Did she tell her mother
about it?-No, she thought she might get
better, and did not want to say anything
about it.
Mr. Oakes: Did the deceased ever tell
you about her private affairs, and that
she was to become a mother?-No, never.
Mr. Oakes: Do you know with whom
she was keeping company?-Yes, with
Frederick Eiszele. She did not want to
get married, because she thought she was
wanted to look after the home. She went
to Nurse Ollsen's rest home in order to
have her eyes attended to. Before she
died she asked witness to explain every-
thing to her mother.
Mr. Oakes: And did you explain?-I
had nothing to explain.
Frederick Herbert Eiszele, painter, resid-
ing at 20 Lille-street, Glebe, said he was
21 years of age. He had been keeping
company with the deceased for the past 17
months. She was employed at the Men-
tal Diseases Hospital, New Norfolk, and
he was engaged at New Town. About
five weeks ago he was at New Norfolk for
the week-end, and about 8.15 o'clock on
the Saturday night he went to the regatta
ground with deceased. They returned to
the hospital about 10 o'clock. Ho did not
think he told Mrs. Plummer he was re-
sponsible for her death. The next he
heard of her was on July 10, when Mrs
Plummer told him her daughter was in
the Hobart Hospital, and asked him to
go and see her, which he did. He was
with her when she died. He did not ask
her how she came to get into her condi
tion. During the previous four weeks he
had met her several times, and she never
complained of anything wrong. He did
not know Nurse Olsen.
Mr.Oakes produced several letters
which witness admitted were in his hand
writing.
"I sent the best remedy I could pos-
sibly get," Mr. Oakes read out from one
of the letters. To what did that refer
he asked?
Witness: They were some small pills
that I sent her for a backache. She often
complained of it.
Mr. Oakes: And then there is this in
another letter: "Our mix-up cannot be
done for £15, but for £25. I have been
scouting round, and find that is so.'
What does that refer to?
Witness: That was to be the cost of
our marriage and a holiday.
Mr: Oakes: But the "mix-up"- was that
your marriage?
Witness: Yes.
Mr. Oakes: And what do you say to
this: "We will talk things over, but I
will make arrangements before it comes"?
Witness: That refers to the arrange-
ment I was to make to get away from
work.
Mr. Oakes (to the Coroner): I put these
letters in as exhibits.
Witness, in reply to Mr Johnson, said
he had nothing to hide in the letters. He
repeatedly urged the girl to marry him,
and in the end she promised to do so.
CORONER'S VERDICT.
Mr. Oakes: That is all the evidence we
have to offer you, Mr. Coroner.
The Coroner said he had listened to
the evidence very carefully. There was
no doubt that an abortion was effected,
but there was no evidence to show who
committed it. Death was due to the per-
formancc of an illegal operation.
