Tanswell, Gordon M.
178 Farrell Street 1943-1960+?
Although the records do not show John as having a son, it seems very likely that Gordon is his son as he is described in Sands and McDougall from 1943 as a pensioner.
The Tanswell family's association with this house, 1891-1967, is one of the longest family associations in this street precinct, yet so far very little information has been found about them.
