Note: Birdie was a most erratic lady as E.M.S. clearly recalls when visiting in 1942 at her house at Newton Street, Campbelltown which was newly built and of 10 rooms. She was fond of practical jokes such as throwing a number of saucepans through the open window into the room where E.M.S. and cousins Kenneth and Kathleen were talking. She had turned against her elder daughter Essie, in babyhood and the child was largely brought up by the Wilson aunts. It was said that Birdie was wildly jealous at her husband Charles' (known as Chris) great love for his little girl. When first married the Mundon-Cresdees lived in the quaint old house called "Charlesworth" on the land taken up by Chris' people early in the state's history. The Lakeman sisters recalled visits to this strange two storey house that had no two rooms on the same level. Deserted later it became derelict, full of spiders and cobwebs and was demolished. The father-in-law had built a newer "Charlesworth" where Birdie and her own family lived when he died in 1924.
