ARTHUR MARSON TIVEY PROFILE



Arthur Marson Tivey


born 21st October 1898
died ? lung cancer ?

Parents Leonard Tivey and Elizabeth Marson and brother Hereward.
Born and lived in Melbourne for most of his life.
Married Helena Clarke in 1920.
Lived at the Dog Kennel cottages at Calke with Helena.
Had three daughters Molly, Edna and Helena (Ena)
Helena died 1925
Worked as a brick layer's labourer all his working life.
He remarried in 1936 to Evelyn Godfrey and they moved and lived rest of their lives in Wilmorton Derby.

Unsure of his military history but a note in his wife's diary leads me to believe he joined up with the Sherwood Forresters. He apparently always suffered with a 'bad chest' due to being gassed during the war. Not sure how true this is ?
