Categories: Hunter-8415

This category is to distinguish former residents of 17 Auburn Grove, Hawthorn East.

According to the land title, Victoria, Volume 2068 Folio 413586 but indexed as 2068/586, here is the history of the property.

The land was originally Crown Land, portion #96, Parish of Boroondara, County of Bourke.

On 24 Sep 1888, ownership transferred to Louisa Maude Hooke (nee Mitchell) (wife of Charles Frederick Hooke, mercantile clerk), of Victoria Road, Hawthorn.

On 14 Sep 1908 it was transferred to Mary Spooner (nee Brooker) (wife of Alfred Spooner), of 146 Burnley Street, Richmond.

On 30 Jun 1919 the title was transferred to Lily Ada Curry (nee Luxon) (wife of George Curry), of Wakefield Street, Glenferrie (now called Hawthorn)

Lily Ada Curry died on 5 Oct 1956 and the probate of her Will was granted to her daughter Ida Muriel Curry.

On 24 Jan 1958, Ida Muriel Curry officially became the new owner.

For some reason, a second edition of the title was created when Ida Muriel Curry sold her property.

On 20 Jan 1966, Madge Madonna Hanrahan (nee Bacchus), of 17 Auburn Grove, became the new owner. There are articles in the S.A. press about her application for divorce from her husband, Claude, on the grounds of habitual cruelty which was the contemporary parlance for "domestic violence" [1]

On 26 Mar 1969, titled was transferred to Pietro Pezzimenti and Antonia Pezzimenti, of 69 Lisson Grove, Hawthorn.

On 18 Mar 1976, the property was sold to "Nagari Nominees Pty Ltd", of 238 Toorak Road, South Yarra.

Shortly after the original title was subdivided in to 36 new titles, when a block of 18 units and associated car spaces (accessory titles) was constructed on the land

Unit 3 was purchased by Andrew Hunter on 16 Oct 2009 and this became his residence until Mar 2019.

To the best of my knowledge all of the people named in these notes (myself except) are deceased.
