| Anecdote | BIOGRAPHY: Notes Compiled by Jeanette Campbell (nee Pollard).
- Ada used to say that she and Isaae lived next door to each other, and their older sisters used to push them along together in their prams. - A friend of Isaac's urged him to come to Australia and work, as the workplaces were unionised, and pay rates were better. In England overtime was worked in the good times, at no extra pay, then there would be periods of no work - no pay. - Isaac did not want to be a tailor, but his father arranged for him to be indentured to a tailor, and he had no say in the matter.
- Ada's mother could not read or write. Ada taught her enough literacy skills to enable them to communicate bv letter, Ada's generation was the first to have free? primary? schooling.
- Ada used to say that she and Isaac used to walk through Sherwood Forest, of Robin Hood fame, when they, were going together ('courting').
- Ada worked doing canniely? work before she was married - this was a sort of fancy sewing to put on collars and cuffs. At one stage she had a Jewish employer. He apparently used to have the factory cleaned meticulously before Passover, and there was a ban on leavened bread during this time. Ada said they used to smuggle bread in to eat.
- Apparently there was a violent storm one night when she and Willie were coming to Australia. Everyone on board ship was terrified, and went up on deck. She tied Wiiiie to herself with a scarf and they went to bed. She thought, if the ship sank, at least they would die together. She went to sleep. Next morning it was calm. She said everyone was amazed that she went to bed and to sleep.
- Ada woke up one morning, after Willie's death, with white hair. This, apparently was a result of the shock and stress. She used to cover her head with a scarf when she went out as she was so embarrassed. Her hair colouring never returned.
- Isaac passed away whilst he and Ada were on holidays in Murwillumbah. Prior to this he used to always fall asleep when he sat down. Apparently he went to the doctors for a cheek up - that probably wasn't related to his sleeping! Gladys told me he came home and said - 'I told the doctor - are you trying to scare me? lt is my understanding that he had a stroke.1 |
