  General Notes:

Peter Morris notes:
Roy (Peter) Bellamy left school at age 13 but was the only one of the ten children who was never out of work during the Great Depression. He worked as a labourer for his father and others in the district and after WWII he worked for his brother Wal in the shops at Midson Road. When Wal died in 1963, Stan took over the shop management and when Lilian died, he became the proprietor. Stan served in the RAAF as a leading aircraftsman in the Second World War from 1943-1946. On February 15, 1936 Stanley married Marjorie Hawkins (b. Jan 15, 1918) at All Saint's, Parramatta. The Hawkins family had been living for some time in Dunlop Street at West Epping. After the war Stanley and his family moved into a house on the corner of Midson Road and Boronia Avenue, opposite the shops. When Stanley died in July 1971, Marjorie and her son moved to Baulkam Hills. Their only issue was a son, Neil Stanley (b. Aug 23, 1936) who, after serving his apprenticeship as a motor mechanic with his uncle, became a transport driver, firstly as a taxi driver and then as a tanker driver with the Shell Company. Marjorie died January 11, 2007 and was cremated at Palmdale.
