While farming in Paddockwood, Hugh and Edith started their family. In June 1957 Edith gave birth to Debra, the first of three daughters. Shortly after Debra’s birth they moved to Burstall. Edith took care of Debra, while Hugh worked for the RM. Darlene came along in September 1958. From Burstall the family moved to Beechy.
