Series: The Rockwell Genealogies

They evolved out of the post-Federation years, overcoming four of the greatest challenges of human history, which were the Spanish In uenza of 1919, the Great Depression and the two World Wars. Against these greatest of dif culties these Australians accomplished the tasks necessary for survival, and succeeded in rearing six children. This genealogy is dedicated to the memory of Robert Archibald Rockwell and his wife Octavia Corelli O'Sullivan, but the material also honours the ancestors that came before them. The research was undertaken to preserve family memories and old stories, verses, photographs, traditions, pedigrees and such otsam and jetsam that might be otherwise hopelessly lost. The aim in recording and publishing these details is to have done some justice to the memory, labours and hardships of the ancestors from whom we descend. The lineage of Rockwell, Bantin, O'Sullivan, Shoveller and their associated families continues today, with the blood of these forebears owing at this very moment through the bodies of their descendants, all immensely proud and thankful for the foresight and courage they have inherited. While much of the detailed history of the ancestors in these pages shall remain buried in the sands of time, I hope in this publication to have shone a light upon the fascinating lives of a few, for its the past that tells us who we are. In this work I hope to have rescued from the waters of oblivion the lovingly collected material contained in these pages, and desire it to be of benefit to those who are passionate about these families, the people, the historic events they experienced and their many captivating stories and anecdotes.

A fascinating historical account of the struggle for existence in Australia from 1870 to 1970, as well as a genuine contribution to the history of Sydney and its satellite suburbs of Glebe, Forest Lodge and Naremburn.
