You prob dont want or need most of this but im amusing myself.

 

[gibbo]

In the 1901 census Major and family had a servant, im assuming if they were well off enough for a servant chances are they arrived here unassisted.

 

[gibbo]

They were using the name Condy in 1912

They reg. the company in Dec 1911. NSW state archives.
