Newtown, Sydney (1904)
When my great-grandfather, John Joseph WALTERS, arrived in Sydney from Ireland in about 1885, the first known address I can find for him was listed on his marriage certificate in 1904.

Some time after his arrival in Sydney, John Joseph WALTERS met Margaret FLEMING. She was to become his future wife. At the time of their marriage in 1904, Margaret was living with her parents at 4 Bartley St (not "Bartlett" as was recorded on her marriage certificate) in Chippendale.

After their marriage, John Joseph WALTERS and Margaret FLEMING lived across the road from her earlier home at 3 Bartley St, as noted on on their first son's birth certificate in 1905.

Forest Lodge in Sydney (c.1900-1940)
My maternal grandparents, John Joseph WALTERS and Lily Ann KINGSBURY began their married life at 13 York St, Forest Lodge (Glebe) in Sydney in the home of John's parents, John Joseph WALTERS and Margaret FLEMING. Although I don't have photographs of this house from the early days, I have taken photos of the house in recent years.
