Norman James BROADBENT

Norman James BROADBENT (Photo: Dan HATTON)

Norman James BROADBENT was born in 1895 and enlisted for service in WW1 in September 1915, aged 20. Although he was from Mosman NSW, he must have visited Rylstone earlier in 1915 when the quilt was being created as the signature on the quilt and that in his WW1 service records are identical.

He served in the 1st Australian Auxiliary Hospital (AAH), starting as a Private before being promoted to Lance Corporal then Sergeant.

After the war, Norman returned to Australia and married Dorothy Eva BROWN in 1925. They had two daughters:

1. Laurel Mary BROADBENT (c1926-1999)

Beatrice Clara BOWES

Beatrice Clara BOWES (Photo: Dan HATTON)

Beatrice Clara BOWES was the daughter of Reverend Joseph BOWES, of the Methodist Church, and his first wife, Clara BOWES (nee DAWSON). Clara DAWSON was the sister of James DAWSON of Henbury, Rylstone; therefore, Beatrice was the niece of Mrs Jessie DAWSON who created the Rylstone quilt. Rev. BOWES spent some time at Mudgee in the late-1880s but later moved to Queensland.

Beatrice trained as a nurse and served in the early stages of WW1 as part of the 2nd Australian General Hospital (AGH) (1915-1916). She joined on 30 July 1915 and joined the Mena Convalescent Depot in November 1915 but was returned to Australia in March 1916 suffering from anaemia and debility.

Beatrice married Charles Edward COSSART in September 1916 at Brisbane QLD. I believe that they had seven children: five daughters and two sons.

I would like to find out more about Beatrice and hopefully down track down a photo of her.

Robert Henderson BRADLEY

Robert Henderson BRADLEY (Photo: Dan HATTON)

Robert Henderson BRADLEY (1869-1917) was a commercial traveller who was probably visiting Rylstone at the time the quilt was being made. I haven't yet located direct evidence of this but it is likely he represented one of the large Sydney companies that supplied stores in the district. There are a number of other commercial travellers with their names signed on the quilt.

Robert married Annie PRICE (1870-1950) in 1894 and they had one son: Robert Jack BRADLEY (1904-1977).

Robert Jack BRADLEY married Ruth Janet Mary SENDALL (1905-1995) in 1928 and they had three children.
