George N A Cleland was born in 1892in Pyrmont, Sydney to George N Cleland and Bellinda Jones, the 2nd of 4 children. He married Mary Hall in 1914. They had 3 children before George died in 1976. "George was a championship light weight boxer and won several gold medals in his youth. He also managed a Roller & Ice skating Rink at Drummoyne, he did stunts, jumping over several chairs lined up and landing on his roller skates at the other end.He met Irene and she later said that she would not marry him unless he gave up boxing. They eloped to the Manse in Balmain getting married, as Irene's parents wanted to send her to Africa, to stay with her elder brother, so she would not see young George who was not of their class, they kept it a secret, and still lived at their respective family homes, until Olive, Irene's sister found the marriage certificate in her dowry still lived at their respective family homes, until Olive, Irene's sister found the marriage certificate in her dowry box, Irene was thrown out of the house by her mother, 'you have made your bed now lie in it' so she went to George, and they put a down payment on some land in Ashburn Place, Gladesville, they built a small cabin to live in while they built their Californian Bungalow, where they had their three children and lived there till the early fifties when they moved to Collaroy." A photo appears of George with son Irving and freind Colin Rees and an unknown boy all dressed in the same style striped singlet tops and plain belted skirted bottoms [swimming costumes], most probably taken at Bilgola Beach. Irving was a Board Rider. Not long after the birth of Beryl in 1929 the Sydney Harbour Bridge was built over several years, on the opening day, George and Irene, with Beryl on her lap, Olga & Irving and their housemaid in their large touring car, waited for the flag to race across the bridge for all public cars after the official opening, George coveted the Honour of driving the first car across the bridge in 1932: Barrier Miner (Broken Hill, NSW : 1888-1954) < Saturday 16 April 1932 > Western Argus (Kalgoorlie, WA : 1916-1938) < Tuesday 19 April 1932 > The Queenslander (Brisbane, Qld. : 1866-1939) < Thursday 21 April 1932 > The Longreach Leader (Qld. :1923-1938) < Saturday 28 May 1932 > First Car Across Sydney Harbour Bridge. On the tick of midnight of March 19th, Mr George A. Cleland of Gladesvllle, Sydney, put his foot hard down on the accelerator of his Chrysler. With a long line of equally eager motorists behind him, he sped over a new highway-the Southern approach to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, just declared open, for traffic. By a safe margin, he achieved the unique honour of being the first member of the motoring public to cross that mighty steel span of Sydney's Harbour. For hours afterwards toll-collectors and the police had a tremendous task endeavouring to keep six long lines of, motor vehicles running smoothly. At one time, the queue on the city'side of the Harbour extended from the toll-house past the Sydney Town Hall. Cars on the northern side formed another queue that was at times almost a mile long. It is interesting to note that Mr. Cleland's car was shod with Perdriau Tyres-purely Australian products that, in their own field, are representative of the same spirit of Australian enterprise and achievement that visualised and finally completed the Bridge itself. Irene formed a good business as proprietress of the King Street Service station on the corner of King and Day Street's, Sydney. Under the Garage, on a lower level, George had his own business as an Electric Oxy Welder, they had a unique partnership and lasted till they retired, later they leased the Garage out, till the Service Station was later pulled down in the late sixties to make way for the western distributor link. George died at Tamworth Base Hospital, after several strokes, He was staying with his daughter Olga and son-in-law Clem on their Farm at "Echo Hills" Kootingal, near Tamworth with his wife Irene, convalescing after a recent stroke, he took ill, with yet another more crippling one, was placed in hospital where he died 10 days later on September 13th 1976. George was Cremated at Tamworth's New England Crematorium, and later Placed in a niche in the Garden Wall at Lincoln Grove Memorial Lawn Cemetery with a Plaque over it, Irene joined him by his side a year later in 1977."
