36 CHAPTER 4. FOURTH GENERATION 1869 - 1907 Figure 4.1: Louisa Harrop, daughter of Sarah Furlong née Belcher and niece of William Belcher moved to live in 15 Pickett Street Footscray, where she was to stay 51 years - the rest of her life. Her father had died at Castlemaine in 1895. Her husband died on 15th April 1917, leaving her a widow, with a now grown up son, Frank Edmund, a glass worker, who had been born in Footscray in 1896 and was now 21 years old. He later married, and he with his wife and family shared the house until Louisa died in Footscray on 24th July 1945. Clarice Dora Fox née Furlong Dora Clarice Furlong was born on 20th November, 1870, at Shicer Gully, near Guildford in Central Victoria, the youngest daughter of John Furlong, an immigrant from Mauritius and Sarah Belcher. After her mother’s death the following year, when she was less than six months old, she was looked after by her father and her 9 year old aunt, Mary Ann Belcher, with the help of some of the Italian and Mauritian neighbours. It is not clear what education she received, but she almost certainly attended the State school at Tarilta, until old enough to leave. In 1890, at the age of 20, she married Joseph Fox, born about 1868, one of quite a large family living in the district. They eventually settled down in South Gippsland
