John Street, Joseph St, McGay Street, Rosa St are named after John Joseph McGay and his daughter Rosa.
The subdivision was left to Rosa in John Joseph’s will.
I think it was subdivided before my Grand Uncle Tom Smith and Rosa got married.

In relation to John McGahy this surname is not a common one. The only John McGahy we know of was the son of the late Mr Clarence McGahy and his wife Gladys nee Hardidge. They lived in Manningham Road at the corner of Marcus Road, Templestowe Lower.
John McGahy, if still living, he would be about 70 years of age. He had two older sisters, Margaret and Irene. We last saw Margaret, who was then married, about thirty years ago. Irene was bridesmaid at Elsie Carter's wedding. Elsie Carter is one of DTHS's members. It is possible Elsie may know of Irene's current whereabouts.
The John Joseph McGahy, mentioned in a previous communication, was the great grandfather of the above mentioned John McGahy and died in or about the year 1950.
