Note: Charles for a time was employed on the construction of the River Bridge, but later he started the first newsagency in Hornsby. The family moved from their first home and lived in the residence attached to their shop situated at the southern end of the present (1979) Hornsby Park. The newspapers were at first delivered by Charles on horseback, then he progressed to a type of dog cart and eventually to a pony and sulky. The roads were little more than bush tracks, and the 'Herald' cost one penny.

Note: Charles and Mary settled in Hornsby in 1880. The first Carpenter home in Hornsby was near the old main road which crossed from Pound Road up through the area known as High Street where the RSL now stands (1979).

Occupation

Before he married Charles was a countryman, working on various properties around Singleton and Wallabadah in New South Wales.

Occupation

Charles for a time was employed on the construction of the River Bridge, but later he started the first newsagency in Hornsby. The family moved from their first home and lived in the residence attached to their shop situated at the southern end of the present (1979) Hornsby Park. The newspapers were at first delivered by Charles on horseback, then he progressed to a type of dog cart and eventually to a pony and sulky. The roads were little more than bush tracks, and the 'Herald' cost one penny.

Property

Charles and Mary settled in Hornsby in 1880. The first Carpenter home in Hornsby was near the old main road which crossed from Pound Road up through the area known as High Street where the RSL now stands (1979).
