History

1938 Kitchen, Bathroom Gutted. The Kitchen and bathroom of a residence at 176 Duke-street, East Fremantle, were completely destroyed by fire shortly after noon today. The house, owned and occupied by William Henry Hames, and his wife, was uninsured. When the Fremantle fire brigade arrived a few minutes after noon the weatherboard back verandah, where the kitchen and bath-room were situated, was burning fiercely. Running out a line of hose, the brigade soon had the fire under control and saved the four brick rooms. It is thought that the blaze may have been caused by a spark from the kitchen stove. The occupants, an elderly couple, went into Fremantle about 10 a.m. today and were both absent when the fire occurred, Mrs. Hames returning home alone after it had been extinguished. Her husband had gone to the interstate football. (reference)

HISTORY

"My great grandfather Andrew Fauld's had a bakery in 1913-1914 at 32 Sewell St (was 59) . His family including my grandmother lived nearby, possibly in Dorothy Street. My great grandfather died suddenly in Meekatharra in 1914. After his death his widow Alice Faulds moved to No. 83 Sewell Street with her 9 children. They lived at No. 83 for many years… My great grandmother and grandfather Alice and Andrew Faulds were pioneers in the goldfields region from around 1896 to 1913 - Goongarrie, Menzies, Mount Morgans and Beria. He was the Mayor of Mount Morgans (out past Leonora) around 1908 and ran unsuccessfully for WA parliament in 1908. (Andrew’s parents were present during the Eureka Stockade attack in Ballarat - they were miners - Mary and Matthew Faulds. Mary Faulds has a bit of an on-line presence these days as she was in labor with her first child in a tent, in the middle of the attack.) Alice’s parents, the Wilsons were also early Ballarat pioneers.) The older lady seated in the centre is my great grandmother Alice. My great uncle Cecil (Dick) Faulds (who is also in the picture) lived at No 83 for many years. He was a founding member of the Fremantle Hockey Club, was the Club President at one stage and still has an annual club award named after him. My grandmother Thelma, the eldest child worked for many years at Dettmolds Stationary producers in Fremantle (opposite where the markets are now.)
Across the road from number 83 lived my great grandfather Peter Mahon and his family. He ran a cash store at what was No 166 (now 82 I think). He lived there some time from around 1900 to 1923. (I am unclear on the exact dates but know Peter Mahon died in Subiaco in 1923. His wife was Mary Ann Mahon, and my grandfather John and his two brothers Maurice and William lived there. The boys attended CBC Fremantle. Maurice played at a high level for South Fremantle Football Club. William later played for Subiaco Football Club.
Although their house / store not longer stands I have attached a photo of my great grandfather Peter Mahon standing outside the store at 82 Sewell St.
So my grandfather John Mahon married the girl from across the road in Sewell Street -Thelma Faulds. They married across the religious divide-Catholic and Protestant- which in the 1920s caused a great deal of angst.”'

1909 Death on November 10, at his late residence St. Helens, Auckland, England, Robinson Peverley, dearly beloved father of Mrs. J. Garbutt, 169 Sewell-street, East Fremantle, aged 67 years. A kind and loving father gone to rest. (reference)
