Notes:

From Dan Byrnes:

He died at age 92, 0r 93? check birthdate here. There is some association with surname Duckworth in his family or with his parents. Roy Musgrave, a keen fisherman all his life, died of basically, renal kidney failure, aged 92, having been healthy and still living at home, alone, and still driving, till Christmas 2005, when he began to fail. Cremated 28 March at Pose Chapel, Palmdale Crematorium, Ourimbah, NSW. His sons Leslie and Steve filled two skips to 12 cubic metres of material, not including clothes and major items of furniture. On Musgraves on the net, there are Musgraves of Ireland who went to Canada and intermarried with Crofton of Brandon, Manitoba. There is a Musgrave genforum at genforum. genealogy.com/musgrave. In the USA is a Jasper Newton Musgrave. The name Musgrave in England seems based mostly in Yorkshire, including at Richmond, Yorks. There were Musgraves of London, and of Devon England. Musgrave in the 1400s in Northumberland, England. There is a Thomas Musgrave in Victoria Australia in 1850 or so. There was apparently a Musgrave a governor of jail in Limerick in 1900s. In the 1798 rebellion in Ireland, Capt Musgrave led the 20-man Lismore Blues Cavalry of Co Waterford.

From Dan Byrnes:

His mother died a few weeks after he was born at Gilgandra. He was given to a family named Johnsn/Johnston to be cared for. He saw his father only once, when he was about three years old. Thomas applied for his birth certificate in 1928, when he was 40. Or, Ohalam. He may be John Thomas O Smith? Larkin has notes from general records, births, of Smith, 1888, Thomas O. Smith, to John T. and Catherine of Coonamble, in 1885 a John Thomas S, to John and Hannah at Brisbane Waters. This Thomas is of Waverly in the Larkin tree. Late in his life, his lost parents were once identified but he never bothered to delve further into who were his siblings. Where is that info? Grandfather of compiler Daniel Thomas Byrnes.

From daughter Marge Kelly 26/1/2008:

Tom's mother Catherine died when Tom was only 3 weeks old and Tom was raised on a farm by the Johnson family of Gilgandra. Tom's only memory of his father was when Tom was 3 years old his father came to visit him and gave him a bag of marbles, he watched his Dad ride away and never saw him again.

Tom became friendly with the Hamilton family who owned a hotel in Dubbo, and accompanied some of the Hamilton boys to Sydney. This was a permanent move for Tom. The Hamiltons also had an electrical store in Sydney and Tom acquired appliances from them. He owned a radio at a time when they were not common and also a clock which he kept all his life and which stayed in the possession of Elizabeth after his death. Those that knew Tom and Elizabeth probably remember the clock sitting on the mantelpiece and the ritual winding of same. Tom always kept in touch with the Hamiltons, one of the Hamilton sisters attended Elizabeth's 90th birthday in Tamworth and commented at the time that Tom "was always a good boy". Tom always said he was the youngest of 7 siblings.

Marge remembers Tom said that he slept his first night in Sydney on a Manly ferry (stowed away?)

Tom's foster parents only gave him two years of primary education prior to putting him to work on their farm. After moving to Sydney, Tom realised the he needed further education and studied as a mature age student. He turned out to be a good mathmetician and Marge remembers evening visits by Vaucluse Council engineers to discuss with Tom how a road should be designed and to work out the curves etc.

From Marjorie Smith:

After Tom and Elizabeth were married they lived with Elizabeth's mother Sarah at Bondi Junction (Mill Hill Road) for a period before moving to St, Leonards where Tom had secured employment as a labouror. When Tom secured employment with Vaucluse Council they moved to Vaucluse and lived a small house which was only half built and was called "The Rest". Around 1928 they moved to Watson's Bay where the children grew up and which was always a "special place" for them.
