• Notes

  Alfred was not liked by his daughter Elizabeth Emily who remembered him as a drunken, violent father who gradually gambled away their considerable property assets in Coogee Bay, which had been inherited from his father. He was in the habit of drinking himself stupid in the City and relying on his horse to find the way home. At the Coroner's inquest into the death of his daughter, Martha May, there was also an inference that he had raped her after coming home drunk and that this led to an unwanted pregnancy and then her suicide by taking rat poison. At the inquest, he accused Martha's fiance of attacking her, but this was refuted by a string of witnesses including his wife and some of his other daughters, including Lily, then aged 11 years. Alfred has quite a few mentions in the Herald for either assaulting other people or being assaulted himself. http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q=assault+tomahawk&exactPhrase=alfred+windle&anyWords=?Words=&requestHandler=&dateFrom=1870-01-01&dateTo=1920-12-31&l-advstate=New+South+Wales&l-advcategory=Article&sortby=
