You are right of course. It was Moran & Cato. I was a bit dyslexic but I’ve fixed it now.

I’m glad you are enjoying reading about the Gambles/Diwells. I will email you a copy of the photo of the three boys and I also another one taken on the same day. I’ll try and do it Friday for you.

I think all the Mabbitts in Victoria lived in Digby. Thanks for the spouse names, I didn’t think of that path but none are ringing any bells.

Such a wonderful find in the backpack. My Mum and her best friend worked for Cato & Moran in Northern Victoria (here it was known as Moran & Cato) in the mid 1950s.

On the original purchasers map of Digby township, Matthew Mabbitt had a big piece of land on the edge of town in Bowen St., and Geo Edw Mabbitt a big piece on Main Rd back to Rashleigh St.,
hope this leads you to something.
