• note. ⁴³ Donna East notes:
Dad's family has come from Warialda and settled in Penrith - The three brothers (Henry Cadbury George, Lawson (Noel) and Alfred owned a couple of butcher shops in Penrith (East Bros Butchery in High Street, Penrith). The brothers owned acreage throughout the Penrith District in which was sold off gradually over the years to keep the butcher shops afloat (Dad said they were not good businessmen). They also had their own abattoir in St Marys/Werrington area where they ran cattle between Northern Road down through Cambridge Park to Werrington - they owned that land too - shame they were not so savvy as to keep hold of some land in Penrith as it would have been worth a mint. They prepared their beef, lamb for the shops. Dad lived in Haynes Street on the north side of Penrith near Governor Phillip Hospital and Dad bought a block of land in Haynes Street in which we lived there until approx. 1980, they moved to Leonay and are still there. He did his national service in the Navy.

Dad is sure that we are not related to the East Beach or Caravan Park side. Unless that is with one of Alfred George Alexander East (Dad's great great g-father) children - 4 boys and 1 girl (incl Henry Alfred George).
Dad said that Terry nor Judith worked at East Beach. Terry went straight into butchery, then got a truck later on. Judith was like a seamstress around St Marys then started her family, she passed away at an early age. (I remember her living down the road from us - she died from a brain tumour). (Ethel, Dad said lived in Doonmore Street, Penrith)

Robin married someone in Jul 1957.
