Shep's Place Family Tree

In 1947 they were at 83 Kings Road, Vaucluse. After his 1950 retirement they built at Gosford. In January 1951 Linda, Stanley and daughter Joan went overseas by ship. Joan had done an art course at Sydney and intended doing further study at London. Like others of the Wilson clan she had the gift of drawing and painting.

When their ship reached Adelaide, outward bound, they visited S.A. relatives including cousin Violet Stevenson at Clarence Park. Linda said she intended doing family research and borrowed prized pictures of the graves of ancestors at Hythe Kent. On the voyage Joan met Theo. Hartley and married him the following year and with him went to live at Dailby, Queensland. No art course was achieved, no research was done and Violet's pictures were not returned. The Bonds sold at Gosford and moved to a house three doors from the Hartleys at Dalby, Oueensland.
