Frank Greathead was born on 2 May 1914 in Royal Oak Hotel, 171 Holyhead Road, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England.3,4,5 He was the son of Sidney Arthur Greathead and Florence Hannah Field. In the census of 19 June 1921 in Royal Oak Hotel, 171 Holyhead Road, Handsworth, Staffordshire, England, he was listed as the son of Arthur S Greathead.6 On 29 September 1939 in the National Register Frank Greathead was listed as living at 171-175 Holyhead Road, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England, with his parents Frank was an electrical engineer.5 He married Nellie Mary Sharpe on 8 February 1941 in Register Office, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England, Opposite the Crown and Anchor Pub, Frank said when in full of hope and out with an anchor.7,4
Frank and Nellie were both already enlisted and got weekend leave to have a double wedding in Birmingham with their best friends. The story goes that after a while they had a blue (Aussie for an argument!!) and Nellie put in for overseas duty in anger. When they made up Frank also put in for overseas - hoping they would get posted together but Nellie ended up on the Queen Mary in the first women troups to arrive in Egypt, she also served in Palestine and Italy while Frank was posted to India and Burma. Frank ended the war about two months early, being sent home to recover in hospital in England with Disentry. They had corresponded throughout the war, but as you can imagine - being apart for five years made Nellie hesitant as to whether they would be able to continue the married life they had started after living separately for so long. She went to visit Frank in hospital and they obviously decided to give it a go. Jobs were really difficult to get if you were a returning soldier, also accomodation was extremely scarce in England after the war. Nellie got pregnant with Kay pretty well straight away and they had two rooms upstairs of a house that they shared rent with an elderley gentleman. Nellie suffered repeats of Malaria that she had got from Egypt and suffered extreme "itchy feet" i.e. she couldn't settle down after the freedom she had known in the Army overseas - she said that she used to go down to the train station in Birmingham to "smell" the trains leaving and wonder where they might be going. Frank started his own business in partnership with a friend - they were electricians. Their work was mainly in the Jewellery business and it was about this time that there was a massive slump in this area and they went broke. It is not known for sure what they did then but they ended up in Northfield with Frank working at the Waterworks. The job came with a house, their daughter Mary was born there. They both felt that they wouldn't get ahead as well as they wanted to, the both missed the warmer weather and the adventures foreign countries had shown them - so they decided to emigrate.
They looked at Canada (too "bloody" cold, Nellie retorted according to Mary), New Zealand (they had a policy at that time the native born New Zealanders would get preference over immigrants for land purchases and jobs) and Australia - where Nellie's only sister and family had emigrated to about five years earlier. So Australia it was. Kay was ten and Mary was three. They first arrived and moved in with Nellie's sister and husband for about two months. Then they bought a terribly run down derelict house which had been empty for about a year. The windows were boarded up and cobwebs were everywhere - a real nightmare. Lots of work to make it liveable - newly emigrated English friends helped to get it liveable. They had to build an outdoor dry loo - no sewerage! There was a ceremonial planting of a honeysuckle climber on the wall to help combat the summer odours!
Frank got a good job with overtime immediately - there was a shortage of tradespeople then, and they also bought a very old second hand car pretty soon thereafter. The family lived in the old house for ten years, renovating, put on extensions and making it lovely, only to have it pushed down after they sold it for flats to be built! Frank and Nellie moved to the countryside after they retired and then back to the outer suburbs when they needed the security of having a hospital nearby. Their life was quite comfortable there. They never regretted going to Australia. Frank always said that they could never have done so well in England. They went back to England twice together for visits and Nellie went once with a friend, after Frank died. They went briefly for Frank's mother's death in 1968 leaving their daughters in Australia with her sister, their Aunt. Both Frank and Nellie always regarded themselves as "English" and both had Union Jacks on their coffins with an RSL (Returned Services League) funeral. They wrote to their family in England and enjoyed hearing how they were getting on. When Nellie passed away Kay and Mary knew that their Mum really wanted them to go and see England and meet with their relatives. They went in August/September 2001. Frank played the piano very well.4,8 He and Nellie Mary Sharpe emigrated on 1 April 1957 to Australia on Strathnaver (P&O line) on the £10 migrants package with their children Kay and Mary.4 Frank died on 13 March 1990 in Australia aged 75.2,4
