SAMPLE ENTRY:

CALLED HOME - Mrs. G. F. Shuttleworth
Grace Florence Wallis was born at Rygate, outside London, on July 18, 1889. She was married to William Louis Hohl at Islington, London, and came to Australia with her husband and two sons in 1914. Soon after her arrival in Australia she attended the Toowoomba Baptist Church where she was baptised and received into membership by the Rev. C. J. W. Moon on November 2, 1919. In 1922 the Hohl family moved to Charleville, and there she suffered the death of her husband. She then moved to Currumbin and had a boarding house. Later she moved back to Toowoomba and there married Rupert Shuttleworth in the Toowoomba Baptist Church.
