Photograph Information

Datec. 1938DescriptionMcLeod children at home of Grandparents Frank and Edith Hunt in Widemere Road, Wetherill park.

The McLeod family connection with Fairfield commenced in 1896 with the marriage of John McLeod to Iniz Selina Annie Stein at St James Church of England Smithfield. Iniz was from the well known Stein family of which many lived in the Fairfield area. The family has had connection with the Fairfield district from 1896 to the present.

Shirley McLeod is the eldest child of Norm and Gwen McLeod and was born at Fairview Private Hospital in Smart Street Fairfield on 6 March 1934. Her two brothers were also born there.

Shirley attended Smithfield Public School and then Parramatta High School. From school she became a pupil of Burroughs Business College and learnt to be a Comptometer Operator. Her only job before her marriage was at the Metropolitan Meat Industry Board at Homebush where she did wages and bonuses.
On 25 June 1955 she married a German migrant Ernst Willi Jurgeit at St James Church in Smithfield and moved from the district. They were to have 5 children in the marriage which ended in 1976.

In 2000 she became a Volunteer at the Whitlam, Cabramatta in the Local and Family History area where she has been instrumental in interviewing many people from the Fairfield District for The Way We Were Project. To-date Shirley has interviewed over 200 local residents. For that work she was awarded an Australia Day Medallion in 2009 by Fairfield City Council.
