DESCRIPTION

NameWilson (Ollie)DescriptionEdwin Oliver 'Ollie' Wilson was born in 1877 at Parkes NSW. In 1908 he married Elsie Jane King at All Saints, Albion Park.

Ollie worked as a blacksmith in the town and his shop was adjacent to the Wilson family home, and on the western side of W.G. Harris and Sons Garage in Tongarra Road.

The Wilson house was formerly owned by John Russell, and prior to the establishment of a courthouse in Albion Park, a room in the house was used as the first Court of Petty Sessions in 1894. The Magistrate, Mr Alexander described the building as ‘though unpretentious was commodious and suitable’.

Ollie and Elsie had several children Edna, Allen, James, Edwin, Gwyneth, Stanley, Phyllis, Charles, Kevin and Maxwell.
