Marjorie Louise HUGHES - my mother (recorded by Mary Anderson)
Marjorie Louise was born at Cherry Gardens in December 1902, she was the eldest of seven children. At some time between 1904 and 1906 the family moved to the city and lived at various addresses at Payneham and North Adelaide. Marjorie trained as a primary school teacher. In those days that training was learning on the job alongside a qualified teacher in a classroom situation. In 1921 when she was considered 'trained' her career began and records show she taught as Nailsworth, Clare, Plympton, Waikerie, Nairne & Walkerville Schools, with a second and final stint at Nairne.
During her single days, Marjorie and a number of her teaching contemporaries travelled during their holidays to Sydney and Hobart. Under Events many of her old photographs are displayed; some taken at picnics in the Adelaide hills and others as beach-belles at the seaside.
I believe Marj and Don Anderson met playing tennis. They married on 9 April 1938 at Maughan Church Franklin Street Adelaide. For Marj this changed her life dramatically as in those days a female working in a Government position had to resign when they married!
Marj and Don made their home at Price Weir Ave Allenby Gardens where they reared a family of three children. They provided a home of love, nurture and care; being prosperous to that end, but few luxuries. Good work ethics and musical talents were encouraged.
Marj's 1938 Electoral Roll Card and her 1944 Identity Card are still extant and photos can be seen in the Events Gallery.
When her children married and moved away in the 1960s Marj and Don eventually sold their home of 30 years and bought a unit, which was part of the Southern Cross homes, at Portrush road. When Don died in 1976 Marj moved into full-time care at Southern Cross Homes at Marion road Plympton where she remained until her death in 1988.
