Family of:

John Herbert William FAULL and Gladys Annie Veronica BETHEL

Before they were married

John Herbert William FAULL [19] was born on 18 August, 1883¹ in Hard Hills, Creswick, Victoria, Australia. His parents were William Menna FAULL [35] and Laura Edith GOAD [36]. William Menna FAULL was listed as a miner on John Herbert William FAULL's birth certificate.

Gladys Annie Veronica BETHEL [20] was born on 21 June, 1890² in Moorina, Tasmania, Australia. Her parents were Michael John BETHEL [68] and Edith Mary Elizabeth TORLEY [69]. Michael John BETHEL was also a miner.

Sometime later, the family moved from country Victoria into the Victorian capital, Melbourne. Their second child Gladys Alice Edith FAULL [23] was born on the 18 January 1914⁵. John was now working as a Labourer.

On the 3 July 1916⁶, their third child Robert Wilfred FAULL [14] was born. They were perhaps visiting the family in Creswick, because although Robert was born at Raglan Street, Creswick, Victoria, their usual residence was listed on the birth certificate as Belgrave, Victoria, Australia. John was now a farm labourer.

The next location I have for John and Gladys is Sandells Road, Tecoma, Victoria, Australia on the 28 September 1939⁷. This is the family home where their son Robert was married to Doreen May Goodgame.

The latter years

On 16 March 1953⁸, John passed away at their home in Wealbata Road, Tecoma, Victoria, Australia. He died of lung cancer, and was buried at the Ferntree Gully Cemetery.

Gladys died 13 years later on 12 August 1969⁹ at Tecoma, Victoria, Australia. At that time, she was living at Cecil Avenue, Tecoma. She was buried with her husband at Ferntree Gully Cemetery.
