Photograph, Aston (or Afton) Cottage, Pitfield, Home of Mr. and Mrs. Alan McDonald
This is understood to be a house at Pitfield which was lived in by Alan (Allan) McDonald and his wife Rosanna, née Lewis. LDHS records have this house named as "Aston Cottage", however correspondence with a McDonald descendant in 2020 suggests that the house may have been called "Afton Cottage", as the McDonald family later lived at a property at Linton which they understood was called "Afton Grove".Enlarged black and white copy of original photograph which has been mounted on white card. The photograph shows the front of a weatherboard house which has twin gables and a verandah. A woman wearing a long gown with an apron is sitting in a rocking chair on the verandah; a man who is wearing a suit and a hat is standing next to her.aston cottage, afton cottage?, alan (allan) mcdonald, rosanna (rose or rosina) mcdonald née lewis, pitfield, houses -

Mosquito drops, Marne & Co. Herbert St., Dulwich Hill, Sydney, N.S.W, Marne's Mosquito Drops, 1919
Found in the cellar of the former Barr's drapery shop, Sussex Street, Linton, which at one time had a doctor's consulting room. Bob Albert (who found them) assumed they were something to do with the medical practice. He gave the box of mosquito drops to Joan and Alan Giles. Information in newspaper advertising (found via Trove) shows the drops were marketed in New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia between about 1915 and 1927. The address on the packaging suggests these particular bottles were manufactured after 1918.Twelve green boxes labelled 'Marne's Mosquito Drops', stored in a strong cardboard box bearing a green label, also reading 'Marne's Mosquito Drops'.

This photograph was originally believed to have been taken in the early 1900s. However in 2017, Betty Grigg identified the men in it as Alan Ching (lhs) and Eugene Grigg (rhs), and said the photograph was most likely taken around 1941.Black and white photograph of brick shop with two men in aprons standing in doorway.ching's store, richard ching, buildings, shops -
