They Emigrated To Australia From Allerton
A Memory of Allerton.
Pollard and Nancy Smith and their three sons emigrated to Australia in 1884. Their oldest son James went first and Robert (14) and Sidney (0-1) travelled separately with Nancy and Pollard.
They went to Liverpool, a small town to the SW of Sydney NSW. There was a wool wash and mill there and sheep farming. James married and took his wife to a farm in Queensland. Pollard, Nancy, Robert and Sidney stayed in Liverpool. Pollard worked as a wool classer across the state (NSW) and was a big part in developing a Technical College qualification in classing wool for quality. He was a well thought of member of the community and involved in many ways. He was a leader in the Wesleyan Church an alderman and mayor. He was also a JP/magistrate. Pollard and Nancy moved to Queenscliffe north of Sydney harbour and was an alderman there in the WWl years. He was an estate agent.
If you are a relative of Pollard or Nancy or William and Mary Pollard's parents and can tell me about them I would love to hear from you.
