Rawson Family
The brothers returned to England to marry, Charles marrying Winifred and Edmund marrying Decima.
Charles and Winifred had four boys, three of whom survived to adulthood. The antics of the two eldest boys are portrayed throughout the diaries and albums. Charles (Paddy) and Lionel or (Plum Bun) are depicted with their favourite toys and pets. Their birthdays and first tottering steps are charmingly illustrated.
Edmund and Decima produced three girls named Beatrice, Sybil, and Dorothy. They lived at The Nyth, a house built next door to The Hollow.
Both Edmund and Charles and their respective families moved between England and Australia. Charles died in the old country in 1928 and Edmund in 1911. The Hollow cattle station partnership was dissolved in 1914.
