Single

  • Greg Thorp says: "Father of Dennis was Bill. He started the Savings Bank (Head Office Branch) and then went to Roseville as Manager.  Pat worked with him in Savings Bank. When we returned from Tasmania, he was at Roseville and asked Pat to come and work for him. I was silly enough to say to Pat "Yes. I am organising the bank ball and when they ask whom I am taking, I will say "the junior from Roseville". Bill single was manager at Roseville when he retired.  They were part of a family that came from the Mudgee area.

  • Lindsey Single was his brother - he retired from Cooma to live on his Cooma grazing property.

  • Bill Frost says: Mrs Bill Single was a Lambert. related to the Lambert who was Secretary of the Bank who came to a sticky end. There was a family connection in years past; it could have been Morgan. Denis's second name was Lambert.

  • Denis Lambert Single was Bill Single's son. Denis  spent a great deal of his service on Relieving Staff including Relieving Manager (during which he attended Fernleigh Castle Managers' School # 24 at the end of 1971) and he worked at St. Leonards Centre at one time.

  • Noel Crowley states that the property on which the rail development at Werris Creek took place was owned by George A. Single.  Was he connected with the Single family from Wollar (?). Both Denis Single's father Bill Single (Roseville) and Lindsay Single (Cooma) were part of the family which came from “around Mudgee” and so were most likely descended from George. Bill and Lindsay had brother George who was Manager Bank of New South Wales Bingara then Gulgong then Mudgee from where he retired.
