Noel's family grew up in Longueville (Lane Cove) and retired to Port Macquarie.
Bettys family grew up in Campsie (Canterbury district) then retired to Wyoming, also near Gosford.
Mum was telling me that when grandad and uncle Noel were at war, Grandma and Faye and Betty went to live with Dally II at Drummoyne. I asked her about Tom Carroll but she doesn't know him.

Ray's war record - and his son, Noel's
Notice the dates of birth. Noel was actually born 25th December 1924 and Ray was born 27th August 1897. So Noel made himself older and Ray made himself younger. Noel was a Dental Technician.

Fay and Betty Scoles
1950
6 Henley St Drummoyne - childhood home of Ken and Dally Messenger, and for a time of Gladys Scoles and her daughters Fay and Betty. The house was demolished about the year 2000.
Bill Davidson and Ray Scoles (foreground) About 1945. Faye said the car didn't even run and grandad just wanted them to sit in it and look like they were going for a drive. Mind you, grandad wore a white shirt and tie to mow the lawns, so it didnt come off quite as funny as he thought it would because mum said they were all used to him dressing like that, always.
Left: Dally Messenger II. The boys are Ken and Dally (III) Messenger. Then standing is Gladys Scoles, her daughter Betty, and Ray Scoles. About 1945.
