1201. Cecile TRUSCOTT

from Diana Mayne 13 Nov 2015 email to Julian Land:
I knew her as a teenager, and through Gwen, followed her career and that of her son Andrew(?) who worked for Philip Ruddock in Canberra. Cecile was a most impressive person when I knew her in the 1970s, and as an expert in child welfare gave me help in preparing a submission to the National Council of Women (my mother was a friend of the Queensland President and was asked to do this) on the subject of whether the Federal Government should fund childcare centres. I'm sorry I didn't get around to driving to Toora when she invited me a few years ago.
from Diana Mayne 3 Dec 16:
Ruth told me on several occasions that Cecile was named "Cecil" after Cecil Lousada, but she changed it to Cecile when she went nursing, or maybe it was at school, as it was too confusing to have a boy's name. I think Ruth and Gwen always called her "Cecil"

arranged the grave of Benjamin Barrow Lousada #77 at Korumburra Cemetery
was a nurse - she and husband bought a property in Upper Toora - ran Murray Greys and some sheep. Was 'staunch National Party member'

The Golden Years – Cecile Jordan-Ellerman
By Emma On 14 December 2012
Long lives well lived, a wealth of wisdom accumulated over the years…There is much we can learn from our elders and so many stories waiting to be heard. Mirror journalist Wendy Williamson meets Cecile Jordan-Ellerman, who lives at Banksia Lodge.
Cecile was born Cecile Truscott in Foster 89 years ago. She was the first daughter after three boys born to Catherine and Tom Truscott, who had a farm called ‘The Willows’ at Welshpool. Later she had a younger sister. Both sisters became nurses.
Starting with three cows and a bull, the Truscotts built up the ‘Trusada’ stud (the name is a combination of ‘Truscott’ and Cecile’s mother’s family name of ‘Lousada’) to a fine Jersey stud.
“The Lousada name is of Spanish origin, but some way back – my mother’s family had a farm outside Toora,” says Cecile.
Cecile attended school at Welshpool. “My brothers rode on horseback, but Father thought I couldn’t manage a horse, so I had to walk with the neighbours.”
She loved rural living, particularly the magnificent – and ever-changing – view of the Prom from the family property. “My sister and I would be bringing in the cattle as the sun went down and I would stop to admire the view. My sister would say to me ‘Looking at that silly old Prom again?!’ She didn’t appreciate the view like I did.”
Cecile’s eldest brother William (Bill) farmed at Hedley until his death at the age of 96. Her other two brothers died in the Second World War. Charlie, who was in the airforce, was killed flying over Germany. Cecile visited his grave in Berlin in 2006, on a visit to Germany and England with her niece. Her brother Jim was in the army and was killed in Papua New Guinea. Cecile’s nephew, also called Jim, visited his grave in 2011.
Cecile left school at quite a young age and trained to be a nurse at the Royal Children’s Hospital. She lived on the premises in Melbourne. Once she was qualified as a nurse she decided to complete her schooling and went to Taylors College to gain her matriculation. She also studied singing and piano at the Conservatorium of Music.
“I had ideas of doing an arts course, but I never quite got there,” she says.
Instead, she had a very successful career as a nurse – in Melbourne and Sydney. In Sydney she worked at the Children’s Hospital, where she took charge of the private section – Wade House – on the ground floor. She often spent her days off at the home of her uncle at Chatswood. He would collect her in his old Buick.
Cecile’s parents retired to Blackburn, so she was able to live with them when she finished her training and was nursing in Melbourne. She completed midwifery at Queen Victoria Hospital and infant welfare at Berry Street. She became matron of Berry Street Babies Home. She then worked for the Health Department as an infant welfare inspector.
Cecile studied to become a Fellow of the Royal College of Nursing (Australia) and still treasures the gown she wore as a Fellow. It hangs in her wardrobe at Banksia Lodge. She was also in the Army Nursing Corps/Army Reserve, retiring with the rank of Captain.
When she was in her fifties and working for the Health Department, Cecile was sent to Lakes Entrance to replace the nurse in charge of the community nursing circuit while she took leave, and it was there that she met the man who was to become her husband. Edward Jordan-Ellerman came to the health centre to do some repair work. They married and bought a property at Toora North where they ran sheep and Murray Grey cattle. After Ted died, Cecile built a house with the views she loves over Corner Inlet.
Like her father before her, Cecile was very involved in the National Party for many years. Tom Truscott was president of the Toora/Welshpool branch at one stage. Cecile was secretary of the branch. She would run meetings, arrange afternoon teas and look after politicians when they came through the district. “That’s when the sponge cakes got made. I was a pretty good cook. The wood stove was pretty good, but once we got an electric stove I never looked back!”
A keen community worker, she played the organ at St Thomas’s Toora and was president of the Toora Nursing Home Auxiliary for some time.
Cecile has always loved animals, even taking on an elderly blind Pekinese at one stage. In her younger days she enjoyed tennis and golf, and she has always enjoyed a good read.
“I’ve always had a good library. My father’s best friend was Syd Hall from Hall’s Book Store. He was a regular visitor to the farm. I still enjoy reading a good story, especially a good mystery.”
She is lucky enough to have an extra sunny corner room at Banksia Lodge, where she says she is looked after very well by the staff.
“We are very lucky with our medical services in this district, and the nursing staff, in fact all the staff here, are very good. I just have to ask them – for instance to put up a shelf for my photos and books – and they will help me.”
Now as long as she has her books, says Cecile, she is happy.

981. Edward Charles Hall LOUSADA

A descendant Daniel Lousada of Sydney informed me that his father was John Hall Matthews Lousada and died 15 years ago and was an only child. Daniel has three siblings - making 4 grandchildren of ECHL

He died at Korumburra - did not wake up the next am to the shock of his hosts my grandparents. On 3 Sep 2017 a step-grandniece pointed out 1968 was the correct year and was in Victorian death records (it can indeed be found here https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/indexsearch.doj with registration number 27324).

Further comments from her were "My connection to Lousada family is by marriage only - Ruth Eleanor Lousada was my step-grandmother. However I had a close connection to her brother Edward - my "Uncle Ted." (Though he was a great-step-uncle!) After my father died in 1953 (I was just 5) Ted took in my mother, brother and myself in his home at 6 Malvern Ave, Chatswood in Sydney. He was, I guess, our baby sitter, before and after school while my mother went to work. My mother also left us in Ted’s care for 6 months, sailing off to Europe for what was probably the only self-indulgent act of her life! We lived with Ted for about 3 years till my mother re-married. I adored him - he was my father substitute, and I much preferred him to my new step-father! In your notes on him, you have his death as 1965. This is incorrect. I was certain he was still alive in at least 1968 if not later, and my cousin has confirmed his death as 1968 from Victorian Death records. There is a story about that - Ted didn't want to be any trouble to anyone when he died (he was estranged from wife and son, and had lived alone for many years, before and after we shared his home) and had willed his body to Sydney Uni. When he died in Victoria (visiting his sister) of course the trouble to get his body back to Sydney was enormous! There are also no good photos of Ted on the website. I have attached one showing him with his beloved Buick, his pride and joy!'

Audrey Dowel on 7 Sep 2017 reminded us that it wasn't the Buick which was used to drive Ted's body from Korumburra to Sydney, but a local hearse owend by Les Wynn's company; Aubrey and Len Dowel went as well, and the hitchhiker actually got into the vehicle but promptly got out again!

He witnessed the Queen Mary ramming and sinking HMS Curacao, a cruiser of the Royal Navy in 1942. From http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/13/a2733013.shtml
'My great uncle, George Westray, was the youngest seaman, aged 19, on the Curacao and sadly did not survive the tradegy. The men were lost off Bloody Foreland on the Irish coast. The names of the men who were lost are commemorated on the Chatham Naval Memorial in Kent. The survivors were taken to Londonderry in Northern Ireland where they were given a warm welcome, food and cigarettes!
We have a cutting about the accident from a magazine publised June 30 1945, but we do not know what the magazine is called. It may have been Australian as the cutting was sent to us from there. The article is headlined 'The war's most tragic naval collision'. The illustration in the article is by an artist call Norton. The account of the accident was given by a member of the crew on the QM an Australian called E C H Lousada.

Oddly my great aunt was at the pictures when the news reel showed the Queen Mary with a crumpled bow. No comment was made on the news about the damage, and Aunt Mary mentioned it to husband quite unaware that her brother was a victim of the accident which had occurred.'

Many articles can be found on Trove covering his time in the Northern Territory with the aboriginals. He was with the Church Missionary Society which had 'complete control of Roper, Groote Eylandt, and Oenpeli reserves'. He gave a public lecture in 1926 on his work as reported in Gippsland Times on 29 March and 17 May 1926.

982. Aubrey George LOUSADA

Daughter Audrey recalls Edward Charles Lousada as spending Aubrey's army pay on acquiring Clanville his Korumburra farm later the residence of the Parkers. She also recalls him being too depressed to milk the cows immediately after Frank went off to WW2 and she left her job to fill in.

President Korumburra RSL 1938

He loved to play draughts - and a report can be found in the 16 Aug Morwell Advertiser of a North v South Gippsland match held in Mirboo North on 4 Aug 1945; he won 3.5/0.5 over H Guntzler and 2/1 over W Brown. At Stratford in Jun 1937, A G Lousada drew with B Watt 1 win and 2 draws each whilst A G Lousada 2 wins 1 draw beat A McDonald 1 win. On 11 Sep 1937 A G Lousada scored a draw against K Egan the Victorian champion in a simultaneous event.

Family/military connections Brothers: 1724 Pte Cecil St Leger LOUSADA DCM MSM, 14th Field Artillery Brigade, died of wounds 17 April 1918; 130 Sergeant Aubrey George LOUSADA, 13th Field Artillery Brigade, returned to Australia, 8 August 1918; Cousin: 3451 Pte Duncan Campbell AFFLECK, 59th Bn, killed in action, 19 July 1916.

Comments from Barry Smith (grandson of Aubrey) on 11 Feb 2017 (as amended by his further comment 9 Nov 2017 that it was Barrow who had the hammer toe which is what Barrow's service record shows):
I clearly recall our Grandfather Aubrey telling my brother Geoff and I about the circumstances of his two brother’s deaths, and also about himself suffering a GSW (Gun Shot Wound) to his shoulder in Gallipoli. According to Pop, Buff was hit in the femoral artery by a piece of shrapnel from an errant shell that exploded as it left the gun turret he was operating (QUERY Barrow was hit in the head - see Red Cross evidence below - and was not in the artillery hence unlikely to be operating a gun. This account may relate to Cecil). Pop was on the scene soon after and was with him at the end. He said there was nothing available to stop the bleeding and he wished he had a length of 8 gauge fencing wire from the farm as that would have worked. (QUERY Aubrey was in artillery and it would have been extraordinary for him to have given assistance to Barrow but quite likely in the case of Cecil. It would have been truly extraordinary for Aubrey to have seen a distinctive fragment of Buff's body - the club toe(see below)- as the infantry was forced to reliquish Mouquet Farm so the artillery would not have got there. As Barrow was not buried at the Villers-Bretoneux cemetery but commemorated instead it seems the body was not recovered so if Aubrey actually saw it or part thereof notice was not taken of his find). There were some divergent stories to and from the Red Cross (COMMENT actually the Red Cross report uploaded to www.barrow-lousada.org provides an account by a Private Bell who saw Barrow = Buff while advancing at Mouquet Farm shot through the head and killed by a sniper; though there is a further witness Corporal McLure #2760 who saw Barrow practically instantaneously killed by a piece of shrapnel while attacking near Mouquet Farm. These 2 accounts are essentially consistent and we can conclude Barrow was hit in the head and died while advancing on Mouquet Farm which could not be held and that if Aubrey did identify the body this was not accepted for formal burial purposes).
In the Red Cross notes you may notice enquiries from and to a Robert William Leask. He was a friend of the family who was also on the Western Front and later on was the only reason my mother Nancy was allowed to go to Traralgon to work – on condition she boarded with the Leasks.
With Cecil, Pop is sure he was killed by a direct hit on his tent from a shell. Pop was searching the area looking for him – and the only identifying thing he found was a toe hanging on a barbed wire fence – which he recognised as Cecil’s hammer toe (COMMENT it was Barrow who had the hammer toe as shown by his service record). (COMMENT there is an account from the London Hall relatives that Cecil was killed by a jammed shell exploding in the breech. This matches part of Aubrey's account of Barrow's death suggesting that his account confused the 2 deaths). (COMMENT it seems likely that Aubrey was at hand when Cecil was killed because both were in the artillery and that the attempt to stop bleeding above relates to Cecil not Barrow. The fact that Cecil's body was buried suggests a good part of the body was found)

Pop received a GSW to the shoulder at night in the trenches at Gallipoli. He said it was like being hit by a sledge hammer and he thought this practice was most unethical of the Turks. (NOTE a letter from Aubrey from Alexandria describing the wound has been uplioaded to www.barrow-lousada.org)

I gather he always regretted encouraging his two brothers to enlist. At that time family members were in the same regiment and location. Pop was a career soldier before the war, hence his low service number of 130.
In case you haven’t seen it before, attached is a copy of a letter from Edward Charles on Sept 25th 1916 enquiring for any official news about Buff where he mentions receiving a telegram from Cecil on August 28th stating: “Aubrey self well Buff killed”. Perhaps it says something about EC, that even in these times and circumstances, he signs off with “With apologies for troubling”

Further recollections of Ruth’s family – Margaret Parker’s husband was GEORGE and he worked for Inverloch Council, I think. Sally would have been born in the early 1960s – she was a few years older than my girls (b1965 and 1966) and we received hand-me-down clothes from her (once). I just MAY have a photo of them in an old album. I shall look. I clearly recall what they looked like. Gwen’s family were close to “Auntie Ruth”, so Bronwyn is likely to have photos...Ruth and Auntie Sophie communicated with each other all their lives – that’s how Ruth knew we were in Melbourne and made contact soon after we arrived.

986. Horace Frank LOUSADA

Audrey reported that there were three children - a son John in Geelong, a daughter Ann (deceased) and Cherry McArthur in Orbost.

Appointment as a teller Bank of NSW Castlemaine reported 7 Mar 1917

Chaplain H F Lousada submitted an invention to the Army in 1943 for dropping supplies from a plane. The invention was not adopted.

His recollection as an 87 year-old of the life of his father is given in www.barrow-lousada.org

Officiated at the Shuck-Picton wedding in Rockhampton 24 Dec 1932 and the Ware-Funk wedding 28 Mar 1932 at Mt Larcom near Brisbane

from Diana Mayne 13 Nov 2015 email to Julian Land:
Sorry I have no knowledge of Horace Frank's family. We were put in touch with him by Ruth, and our visit to Frankston in 1979 was occasioned by his recent visit to England (Nov-Dec 1978 I think) where he tried to contact David's mother, but she had just had a stroke and David's father wouldn't let him visit her - a pity as her mind was OK and she would probably have enjoyed the visit. He got to see Auntie Sophie who was in a nursing home not far away (having been moved there from London), but she was suffering dementia and couldn't figure out who he was - apparently she thought this clergyman was her brother John come back from the dead! But Frank was thrilled to see her and told us he was sure she knew who he was and was delighted to see him! So he was happy with his visit, and was also delighted to find the graves of his brothers in France.

from Diana Mayne 14 Feb 2017
Another memory – when David and I visited Horace Frank at his Frankston flat in 1979, at his invitation, to tell us about his visit to Sophie & Mother, I remember him talking about the semi-miraculous finding of the family graves in France – “I was in this huge cemetery and looked down and near where I was standing was my brother’s grave!” He must have been at Querrieu. I think he said he found all three names – must have seen Duncan’s also.
