THERE apparently exists an extensive Orams Family history, compiled by an Orams family member in New Zealand some time ago in preparation for an international reunion. Unfortunately, it appears it is far too large and wide-ranging for this humble (and still very much a “work-in-progress”) page! Instead, we offer more modest accounts of the Orams and Halleren family members and, courtesy of Brian and Jean, some facts and figures about her branch of our family tree.<\/h3>\n

\nIn the early 1950s, Ernest Orams was hit by a car whilst riding his bike near home. He sustained a broken leg and was hospitalised. In preparation for his court case he took these photos (above and left) of the site of the accident, Moreland Road, Footscray.<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/h6>\n
It appears that Papa Orams also had an earlier major mishap on his motorbike…we found this\u00a0article<\/a> during a routine search of The Argus newspaper…Mum says he was in hospital for months – and missed going to the war because of his injuries…<\/h6>\n

The Halleren Family in Belfast c.1910<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/h4>\n
The Halleren family photograph (above) was taken in Belfast (circa 1910), after the death of Martin Halleren (senior) who was a ship’s plumber and worked at Harland & Wolff, builders of the RMS Titanic<\/em> and her sister ships, RMS Brittanic<\/em> and RMS Olympic<\/em>. Pictured (l-r) are Lizzie, Martin (standing), Jean, Catherine, Tony (standing), Charlie and Margaret (aged about 10 – Jean’s mother). Tony’s wife was little Aunty Anne, our Welsh great-aunt who kept the yappy little dogs!<\/h5>\n
* * *
\nCatherine Halleren, a widowed nursing sister and mother of six (all pictured above), was the owner of a private hospital in Belfast who had served in the Queen Alexandra Nursing Corps during World War One. She came to Australia with her youngest daughter, Jean, and on January 25, 1925, opened “Granville” a (private) 12-bed general, surgical and maternity hospital in Yarraville to serve the people of Melbourne’s northern and western suburbs. Together with a small dedicated staff – including her daughter Margaret who joined her in 1927 after completing her training in England – they delivered more than 4000 babies and took care of thousands of sick and infirm Melburnians for 30 years. No patient who came to her for care was ever refused treatment or turned away.
\n“Granville” closed as a private hospital following the death of Matron Halleren in 1955.

UNSUNG HEROES & HEROINES PROJECT – 1988<\/div>\n
In 1988 as part of Ausralia’s Bicentennial celebrations, a Government-funded project called, “Unsung Heroes” was launched to acknowledge the countless outstanding individual contributions made in the recent history of Australia. Jean submitted a brief outline of the efforts of Catherine Halleren at her hospital, “Granville”. Although not included in the final book, a certificate was issued and Catherine Halleren’s story has been given a place in the National Library of Australia alongside the other “worthies”. A copy of her story may also be found here along with details of the “Unsung Heroes” project.<\/h6>\n
