Edith MacCarthy, Robert U MacCarthy, E A S MacCarthy, Bessie MacCarthy, M F MacCarthy, W N MacCarthy,
He married Mary Fitzsimons after 1935. He died on 23 Nov 1967 at Mackay, Qld, at age 83. He was buried on 24 Nov 1967 at Mackay Cemetery, Cemetery Rd, Mackay, Qld, he is in the Church of England (Anglican) Section; Block 2; Line# 2; Plot#:38. Burial #: B3402. He is buried with many other family members. Burial fee was $36.0.
He lived between 1903 and 1906 at Morgan St, Mt Morgan, Qld, as a Labourer. He and Bessie Lander lived between 1908 and 1917 at Morgan St, Mt Morgan, Qld. He was shown as a Labourer and she as a Housewife. Also living in the same street was Rose MacCarthy (possibly Rose Lander) doing Home Duties. He was enrolled on the electoral roll as a miner living in 1922 at Othello St, Mackay, Electorate of Mackay, Qld. He lived in 1931 at Mackay, Qld, as a Miner.
Norfor Norman was educated at Mackay Boys School while living at "Fernvale". As a child he also worked in a local dairy. He eventually ran away from home and moved to Mt Morgan. (it is said that his father, Edward Robert Norfor, was a very cruel man and used to whip his children.) At Mt Morgan Norfor worked with his brother Roy in the Mt Morgan mines. He lived with Bessie Bishop (nee Lander) and her five children, helping to raise them (this was after the death of Bessie's first husband). He eventually married Bessie in 1905. (Bessie's sister, Rose, was married to Norfor's uncle, John Charles Buckner MacCarthy.) During their life together in Mt Morgan five children were born, three dying in infancy, all buried at Mt Morgan. With the closure of the Mt Morgan mine Norfor, Bessie and the two surviving children, Edith Bushnell and Eric Alexander, moved to Mackay, living in a tent at McEwans Beach, and he helped his brother, Edward, operate a fish trap. After two years there they moved to Nebo Road, Mackay, and lived with Edward and his family. They next moved into several rental properties. He worked as a Builders Labourer helping to build the grandstand at the local showground.
He eventually bought a property in Carlysle St., Mackay, near the Mackay railway goods yard where he was employed as a labourer. The house was later converted to a boarding house, which he supplied with kerosene and vegetables via a railway goods shed. During those years he build a weekender at Half Tide Island, a beach resort south of Mackay (now part of the largest coal loading terminal in the world). The beach hut was known as the Black Hut and the land it stood on is still vacant. A street and a creek in that area was named after Norfor; MacCarthy St., and Norrie Creek. After Bessie died in 1931 the boarding house was run by two housekeepers, Mrs. Challis and Mrs. Falkner. He later sold the boarding house, married Mary Fitzsimmons, and bought a house in Gregory St., Mackay, (he apparently kept finches in large aviaries). During that period he had a beach hut at Slade Point and a 14 ft launch. His marriage to Mary Fitzsimmons only lasted for about two years.
He sold the house in Gregory St. and moved in with his son Eric and his wife, Marion, in Coles Road, for about two years. (He used to store dynamite in the outside toilet and at one time Marion almost discharged a rifle into it to kill a snake.) He and his son Eric acquired a railway gate for the property and took it home on a Chevrolet (Chev) utility. (This apparently almost ended the marriage of Eric and Marion.) He later lived with a Mrs. Fitzsimmons in Milton St for about five years. They sold that property and moved into a house at Half Tide Island, renovating the house. He became a beach and bush comber and a general handyman. In later years development in the area started and they built two more houses. They next sold all the houses and moved closer to Munburra Rd., halfway between half Tine Island and Mackay. After about three years he sold that house and moved to Graffunder St., Mackay, near to Eric and Marion and their son, Warren; that was in about 1962.
