  Research Notes:

Ms Robyn Bray - I will try and gather some of my data together about my Aunt Jean - to be honest it will be hard as my vision is shot. I'm classed as legally blind but I argue the point however the walls and trees don't listen. My spouse of 43 years passed away and so I stumble over the newly created messes I make trying to get organized - what I can tell you is as a little boy in 1961 we arrived in Australia- we went directly to my uncles house we called Carl - apparently as time passed we discovered by comments and actions Carl was favored by grandma Dawson (Mary "Molly" nee Dawson "
We never knew of Jean or of her other name Heather because Molly forbid my mother (Dorothy Giles (new Dawson) Shurte from saying her name. Apparently as life goes on forgiveness and restrictions of social rules can occur- Molly in her 90s told me about heather jean and I talked to grandmother Molly for many sessions - you have to understand I'm living then on the Great Lakes doing search and rescue during a period will in charge of stations with personnel under me so being at home making phone calls to Australia helped my home sickness but it was then costly - as I communicated I manipulated mom and Jean to reunite and Jean then imposed herself on her mother. Before Molly died she buried the anger she accused the girls of causing. Point one - Jean you call Jean Giles has that name because grandma had a relationship with the then constable (police office) that toyed with her (let's just say he rubbed the Jennie until he got the lamp to produce smoke) - anyway heather jean was born and not a lot of love was given to her.
When 13 Molly bonded her out and her wages were to come to Molly- the same happened to Dorothy when she turned 14 and it was the act of Japan that got mom free from bondage if she served in designated war zone
After Jean was in bonded position she made same error her mother did or let's put it this way - some asshole decided to take advantage of a young girl and did so and she became pregnant - a boy was born - his name was Noel - we were taught to call him uncle Noel so grandma didn't know who we were talking about. When Noel was about four Molly made up her mind if Jean was to work Molly was going to care for a baby boy so she forced granddad to put him up for adoption.
Granddad knew a couple that wanted a child and they took and trained Noel about farming - Noel took some heavy duty beatings from the strict adoptive parents and eventually ran away - asS time passed he became what I call the true Australian stockman - as well as many other things - he became a part of Australia unsung hero's- he married miss Lane and lived in Bungunya but I would guess she had passed by now - she had dementia very bad when I saw her uncle Noel looked as old as I feel today
He had kids and grandkids
As far a Jean heather Giles goes she did run off with a man as she told me and had children with him - he had some kids of his own and she grew to love all of them but out of the blue one day he just told her she's out
She said she had a few children but the men took them
One man that promised to marry her was an American and went awol he was sent back to America and abandoned her and kids
The second guy just wanted a babysitter- but she loved him and the kids he took the children and used the law to make it so she could never see them again
The last man she was with was a taxi driver and she loved him forever even after his death. She said he was the only person that hugged her besides my mom before they went to sleep and when they wake up
You have to understand two girls in one house - one is Ligament, and the other is il-ligament - one seems to be handed everything, and the other denied all - but there is a story not told by poor Jean Heather - She was treated unfairly by my grandmother and she admitted to that when she was in her later 90s.
Jean Heather never wanted to give up her son Noel (we called him Uncle Noel, but he really was our cousin). A daughter was born after my mother was born but she died shortly thereafter and then a daughter (named Pauline) was born - my mother named me after her and my fathers fried killed fighting in Pacific.
