George Charles Hargreaves & Jean Giles

March 24, 2012

George Charles Hargreaves was born on 28th September 1915 in Nurse Johanna Tonge’s hospital in Yarra Glen.

When he was six years of age, his father, Charles Albert Hargreaves, died from cancer so the family had to sell the farm at Dixon’s Creek and move to Healesville.

George then attended Badger Creek Primary School where the school teacher was extremely cruel.
