Family History James was my Great Great Grandfather most of the family were miners. My Mother Anna Holland Key was born 1910 at 18 BoatHouse Terrace, Cambois, her Mother Emily Maughan Key nee Holland & her husband Thomas Vernon Key all migrated to Australia Sydney 1925, Dorman & Long had not yet built our Harbour Bridge, my Grandfather did work for Hughes Bolckow as a salesman.
