Notes for John Driscoll:

General Notes: DETERMINING JOHN'S BIRTH:

 

Based on his obituary and death certificate, his age is stated as 80 years old. Based on his death of Jan 1909, this would imply he turned 80 during 1908, and his birth year would therefore be 1828.

 

From the ships' deserter's records - Recorded in the Police Gazette of 20 January 1854 is the report of a John Driscoll, Registration Number 156,602 in His Majesty's Service, who deserted the Chimera on the 13 January 1854. He was a Sail-maker, aged 27.

Description is 5'7.5" tall, brown hair, blue eyes, sallow complexion. A reward of 5 pounds was offered.

This would imply his birth year is 1827.

 

An enquiry into his record of registration with the Royal Navy confirms his birth year was 1827 and his place of birth being Cork, Ireland.

 

DETERMINING WHEN JOHN ARRIVED IN BENDIGO:

 

A John Driscoll is listed on a petition for Gold Miners protesting regarding miners' conditions at Bendigo. The petition date is 1853. If this is our John Driscoll, his arrival at Bendigo needed to be 1853 or earlier. This conflicts with the records for John Driscoll of the navy when he deserted in 1854.

 

His obituary indicates he had resided in Bendigo since 1853; this supports the date of the petition.

 

TWO JOHN DRISCOLL'S?

 

The information about John Driscoll indicates two clearly conflicting sets of information. The Police Gazette entry can be accepted as accurate in 1854. The Gold petition indicate 1853 of which the Gold petition is a historical record. His obituary supports this.

However if there were two John Driscoll's, the Gold Miner from 1853 is further supported by other information cross referenced to his children and his death. The deserter appears to have no further record, at least in Bendigo, but may have prospered in Melbourne, anothe rpart of the Golden Triangle or even moved on to New South Wales.

 

 

 

CATHERINE LENANE is the daughter of Patrick Lenane & Margaret Vaughan. She was born 1830 in Cork, Ireland. She died Nov 1859 in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia [4]. Burial Nov 1859 in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia (Bendigo Cemetery).

JOHN DRISCOLL & CATHERINE LENANE. Their marriage on 22 Jan 1856 in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia (Sandhurst). They had 3 children.

3.
i.

MARY DRISCOLL. Her birth on 16 Jan 1857 in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia (Sandhurst) [5].

ii.

PATRICK DRISCOLL. He was born on 28 Dec 1856 in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia [6]. His death 1857 in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia (Sanhurst).

Notes for Patrick Driscoll:

General Notes: Internment Number at Bendigo cemetery grave nbr 12280

Buried in Roman Catholic I 4

 

 

iii.

THOMAS FRANCES DRISCOLL. He was born 1859 in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. He died Nov 1859 in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia [7].

Notes for Thomas Frances Driscoll:

General Notes: Thomas Frances lived for only 18 days as noted on his death certificate.

The sequence number of the certificate is 4 more than his mother's who died in November 1859.

It would be a safe assumption that Patrick's birth resulted in complications leading to his mother's death.

 

 

JOHANNA HARRINGTON is the daughter of Cornelius Harrington & Catherine Harrington. She was born Abt. 1839 in Castletown Bearhaven, Cork, Ireland. Electoral Roll 1903 in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia (Garsed Street) [8]. She died on 02 Aug 1932 in Swan Hill, Victoria, Australia.

Burial on 03 Mar 1972 in Springvale, Victoria, Australia (Necropolis). Cause of Death was Emphysema. Occupation was Miner; Painter-Decorator. Religion was Roman Catholic.

Notes for Thomas Joseph Driscoll:

General Notes: Thomas was a poorly educated child who worked at whatever job was available.

In his adult life his work mostly consisted of painting and decorating (paper hanging).

He enjoyed the little things most men of his era did - spending time with his mates at the public bar, playing cards, having a bet on the horses. All his children learned to play a range of card games and were very good at it, the most common game being euka.

 

During the Second World War when jobs were scarce and materials and food even more scarce, Thomas guided his boys to manufacture toys from scraps of wood. Decent toys were hard to come by especially when all raw materials were diverted to the war effort. All of Thomas's biys could turn their hands to various skills which always repaid them in years to come in constructing furniture, painting and repairing or just building houses and sheds.

 

For many years Christmas was held at the home of Thomas and Doris. Because the family was so big, it was hard for most to make it close to Christmas day, so the tradition for many years was the last Sunday in November. Father Christmas was played by Bernard in an outfit hand made by his wife from the time their son ws born. This tradition continued until the late 60's when the family had simply outgrown the house - the family continued to meet at sports grounds and parks. Thomas attended some as his heatlh allowed him.

 

In his last ten or so years he struggled with emphysema and spent more and more time in bed with little ability for movement. Yet he continued to smoke - Capstan or Turf Cork-tipped cigarettes - who knew then that cigarettes were so bad for your health.

His last formal occasion he attended was the wedding if his youngest son Peter (Graeme).

 

Towards the end he was taunted by his middle son Hayden who would call out "he'll be dead soon" from the neighbour's back yard. This added to Thomas's stress and frustration.

His last few days were spent in very difficult conditions in intensive care until he passed away.

 

 

DORIS MINNIE JACKSON is the daughter of Frederick Arthur Jackson & Doretta Minnie Drewes. Her birth on 05 Jan 1908 in Carlton, Victoria, Australia (Women's Hospital Carlton). She died on 17 Aug 1994 in Thornbury, Victoria, Australia. Cause of Death was Pneumonia. Medical Condition was Poor circulation lead to gangreen in her toes and general poor heatlh.. Religion was Roman Catholic. Burial in Springvale, Victoria, Australia (Springvale Cemetery).

Notes for Doris Minnie Jackson:

General Notes: Doris was a loyal wife and excellent mother providing for her children and grand-children as best she could.

At 32 she was Victoria's youngest grandmother with the most children, when her daughter Daphne gave birth to Doris's first grandchild Terry. By that year - 1941 - she had given birth to eleven children. Her achievement was news in the Sun Pictorial and on radio 3DB.

 

It is known throughout the family that four of her children were given life through two fathers other than her husband.

Her son Robert was parented by an old friend named Garg, who boarded with Doris and Thomas for many, many years. It was during a conversation with her youngest son Peter, she talked about how Garg would chase her around the kitchen table and "perhaps he might have caught me once.." .

 

Before this, a Lebanese gentleman of the Jewish faith who settled in Melbourne and operated a successful clothing manufacturing business had employed Doris as a cleaning lady and perhaps a little more. As a father to one of Doris's children, he was a provider in part as Bernard was asked often to go down the factory, knock on the back door and hand a potato sack to the gentleman who answered. he would return minutes later with the sack full of clothes - this was Bernard's father.

 

Family days at Dorry's house was always full of kids, food and laughter. Doris would cook pancakes the size of dinner plates for everyone on the wood-fired stove. They were sprinkled with lemon juice and smothered in sugar. Great to eat but wait until later when they cooled down in your stomach!

 

After the death of her husband Thomas in 1972, she moved from her home in Westgarth Street, Westgarth (which was sold at auction for $9,000) into a Housing Commission Granny Flat in Northcote where she lived for many years.

 

Her 80th birthday party held at her son Robert's home, in a newly completed rumpus room. Robert had informed Doris that he had finished it just in time and Doris was so pleased that Robert had built the room just for this occasion.

The following is an extract of the speech her son Bernard gave at the party. The style reflects the culture and passion the family had:

 

"Ladies and Gentlemen and any person people that may be here,

and especially Mrs. Dorrie Minnie Driscoll our guest of honour.

Undoubtedly you are pleased to have me here and I thank you.

 

We are here to celebrate the birthday of Dorrie Driscoll whom will be 80 on the 5th of January 1988.

Now.. a little bit of history about our guest,

She was born at a very young age in Melbourne and soon grew up to be a very lovely young lady.

 

Then she met a Mr. Samuel Driscoll while working in her father's fruit and veggie shop.

He came in and said ...lettuce and Dorrie said OK and they got married.

 

By the time she was 40 she had given birth to 17 children. You must understand Samuel liked lettuce....

17 children in 25 years of marriage... she was given 8 years off for good behaviour...

 

For the first forty years of her life she was busy with child bearing, and for the next 40 years she was unbearable...

Dorrie, you have told us that you would not kick off until you were 80.

So here is your award.. you can kick off whenever you like."

 

Her son Bernard purchased a small flat in Thornbury around 1988 and Doris spent her last few years secure and safe.

Upon her death, her many, many trinkets, ornaments and doilies were quickly snapped up by the family members.

Notes for Bernard Phillip Driscoll:

General Notes: Attended National Service from the 18 AUG 1953 - 23 NOV 1953. Registration Nbr V30047 / Service Nbr 3/748396.

 

Worked with GJ Coles 282 Little Collins St. from 21 JUN 1954 - 5 FEB 1957. He was a Junior Salesman, Storeman and Departmental Manager. During this time he was married to Irene Mavis and they moved to Malvern with her brother Reginald.

 

He worked for Webb's Radio as their leading TV Salesman for about three years. He moved onto John James in Elsternwick and then to Macon and Sons. With insufficient challenge and opportunity, he established Cambridge TV as the General Manager

and earned good money ($90 pw in 1970) but worked six days a week and every third Sunday.

 

During the '60's they lived in 39 Brooke St, Oakliegh South (1963); 255 Jasper Rd, McKinnon (1965); 8 Hillview Crescent, Rowville (1971).

 

Rowville was their first home and they built it new. It was an 18 square brick-veneer home with carport, off-set on a large 1/3rd acre block. It cost $14,800 to build in 1971-1972 and the land was $3,100 purchased in 1970. The house included

solid brick feature walls and shag pile carpets. The land was large and was quickly filled with trees and gardens though the soil was hard and clay.

It also had unmade roads, no phone (12 months wait), half-hour walk to the local store and only 1 in 3 blocks occupied.

 

The mortgage taken was for $11,200 at 7.75% for 30 years at $80.98 per month.

 

He registered a business 'Global Appliance Rentals Pty Ltd' around 1971 and opened up a TV rental business in Hampton St, Hampton. This was his greatest achievement as the business grew very quickly and provided a very good income for the

family.

 

During the early 70's Irene became very depressed due to the isolation of the home at Rowville. In 1973 the family moved to Hamption, living on top of a chemist shop in what was a very comfortable apartment with a balcony looking west (over

the bay).

 

The business grew and he ventured into Hospital Rentals which was very lucrative (a set cost $10 per month to buy and rented for $3 per day).

 

In June 1975 he created Paddy's World; a combination of electrical retail, toys, carpets and a major takeaway business. The retail side did not perform well but the takeaway had takings of $3,000 per week in 1976 (a cappoccino sold for 50c).

 

After difficulties, Paddy's world closed in July 1976. The result of trying to sustain this business included selling the family home in Rowville, his boat and almost everything else. He almost lost Global Applicances except for generous

supporters in Phillips TV who kept him trading and organised an investor to restructure his business.

 

After this time, the family moved to Grenville Street behind a large home owned by Italian Australians who became life-long friends.

 

He continued with Global in a small refurbished Hampton shop until a change of business direction took place. On 19 AUG 1986, he registered Bernie Dirscoll's Handyman Service and as he moved out of TV rentals after selling most of his

customers to a competitor in Sandringham, he became a well-respected tradesman.

 

In the meantime, he and Irene moved to 2/43 Lansdowne St, East StKilda to restart their future. They later moved to East Bentliegh with a shop for the hospital TV rental business and the handyman business. They stayed for five years, and during

this period, his brother and sister in law Reg and Mary moved into a unit opposite from which Bernie became their official carer.

 

He continued with this work for the rest of his working years until retiring in Junourtoun near Bendigo, VICTORIA.

Here he built the dream home that he and Irene had always wanted. A monster of a 2-storey brick house, A frame with very high cathedral ceilings and two self contained units flanking each wing. All this on 3 acres.

 

Joined by Mary after Reg had passed away, the three lived in harmony with the area.

 

This was to be his resting place, as he suffered a heart attack and passed away 24 hours later with his direct family beside him. He was buried in Bendigo cemetery on a hillside after a beautiful service in the local Bendigo Catholic church with a service by an old family friend Father Peter.

Notes for Robert John Driscoll:

His legacy was the construction and development of a Bingo business, with its roots as the bingo caller for the local primary school (the extended school hall was named after him the "Robert Driscoll Hall").

 

His death was a shock to the family in that he was quite young (under 60) and had developed cancer in his internal organs which was quite advanced when it was diagnosed - he survived only six weeks after diagnosis and laughed to the end.

 

His service was conducted at the Church of the Good Shepherd by the family friend and priest Father Peter O'Rourke.
