Mackintosh Families in Australia

NAA Description: Clive McIntosh and L Caldwell woodchopping at the Royal East Show, Sydney

Dated: 1947

I assume this is Champion axeman, Clive McIntosh 1913-1990.

Does anyone know his family background which apparently had a long association with the sport?

NAA Description: Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship plan students - Evan Mackintosh

Dated: 1968

The Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP) is an international programme under which Commonwealth governments offer scholarships and fellowships to citizens of other Commonwealth countries*.

Evan is not a common name in Australian Mackintosh families and this Evan would be a grandson of the ones we have in the Archives.

Anyone know Evan?

Barbara certainly looks like she is comfortable on the ice. Does anyone know a Barbara who was a whiz with the skates?"

NAA Description: Telegram boys R Burke and J MacIntosh

Date: 1900

Despite having a date of 1900, I believe this photograph was taken much later. Perhaps the 1940-60s?

NAA Description: Former Scottish businessman David Mackintosh migrated from Grenoch to Perth, Western Australia, four years ago because high income tax was leaving him little profit. Now working as a labourer on building projects, David earns an average 17 Pounds Australian for a 40 hour week. He said that to equal this in his own business in Scotland, he had to work up to 12 hours a day and seven days a week. David mixes cement on the site of the Games village, which will provide 150 new homes for visiting athletes.

Date 1962

What happened to David after the Games Village was completed? Did he stay or did her return to the UK? Anyone know?

NAA Description: Champion Ayreshire bull, Uroonda Master Jean, at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, owned by Messrs McIntosh Brothers, Camden, New South Wales

Dated: 1962

Mackintoshes took out the blue ribbons in Ayreshire cattle rings in the 1952 Sydney Royal East Show. This one shows the Champion bull and the next one the Champion cow. Did the McIntosh brothers of this photograph include F A McIntosh in the next?

Is Mr F A McIntosh one of the McIntosh brothers mentioned in the previous mystery? This photograph was taken at the same Royal Easter Show as the previous.
