This document says Poole emigrated in 1903 on Loch Garry, but his immigration records at the Public Record Office Victoria show he immigrated to Melbourne on Loch Garry in Sep 1899, at age 22 (Fiche 650 page 002). Captained by James Horne; on arrival at Port Phillip 16 passengers disembarked; mostly 3 families. Loch Garry was 1,565-ton iron, 3-masted colonial sailing clipper, built in 1875 by Thomson of Glasgow (his masterpiece) for Loch Line (Aitken, Lilburn & Co., est. Glasgow, 1870). The usual route was to load general cargo and passengers at Glasgow and then sail to Adelaide. They then sailed to Melbourne or Sydney where they loaded wool or grain, generally for London. Loch Garry was sold for scrapping in Italy in 1911. Poole re-visited Britain, returning to Melbourne on 2 occasions: May 1910 and April 1912.

[11] Dunbar Poole was an Irish-born Scot, the son of James and Elizabeth Poole who immigrated to Australia a few years after their son. The birth records cited below for Alexander C D Poole (father George Dunbar Poole) are also consistent with the birth year derived from his various other records [12, 13]. Poole died in 1954, aged 78. He was the same age as Alexander C Dunbar Poole born 1877, Woodbridge; son of George Dunbar Poole. The 1881 British Census and the death registration of George Dunbar Poole locates this family at Ormskirk, 7 miles from the Southport Glaciarium; probably the only known indoor ice rink in Britain at the time. [12] 1881 British Census, PRO Ref RG11, Piece/ Folio 3072/74 page 2, Census Place: Coventry Holy Trinity, Warwick, England. [13] 'Civil Registrations, England', General Register Office. The couple had 2 sons and 2 daughters three of whom carried middle initials of G D, E D and C D. Traditionally, the 'D' probably stood for Dunbar, middle-name of their father; often traditionally given as a namesake after the maiden name of a father's mother or grandmother. Dunbar is of Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "castle headland" from the town of Dunbar, at the mouth of the Firth of Forth, Stirlingshire, Scotland. From there, the name became a Scottish surname and it was not uncommon for it to appear as a middle namesake. However, even in the 19th century, it was a very rare male first name.

The Sandringham team was captained by the Prince of Wales, and the House of Commons' team was directed by Mr. Francis Bingham Mildmay, M.P. assisted by Mr. A.J. Balfour, both of whom were in excellent form. The Prince of Wales acted as 'back' and the 'Duke of York' as 'forward' in the Sandringham team. Both showed good skating powers, and had several heavy falls, but neither was any the worse for his shaking up. Among the eight of the Commons' Team, falls were numerous, but none of the players was injured. The match was won by the Sandringham team by a score of 8 goals to 5. The Princess of Wales with her daughters and the Duchess of York, witnessed the game and enjoyed the spectacle greatly.' [25] "The History of the Goodall Cup", author not stated, IHA, IHA website.

Consistent with parents names recorded in Death Registration of Dunbar Poole [30] Alternatively, Dunbar was the child born to George Dunbar Poole and Susannah Stephenson in 1877 at Woodbridge, near Ipswich in Suffolk. The birth was registered 'Alexander C D Poole'. The middle initial 'D' was shared among 3 of 4 children — 'D' for 'Dunbar', his father's namesake. [13] However, the parents on the death registration of Dubar Poole were James and Elizabeth. If they were, in fact, Dunbar's natural parents, it is still probable that the two families were related; George may have been James' brother. George was an assistant schoolmaster born in Scotland about 1848. Susannah, his wife, was born at Owsten Ferry in Lincoln, near Nottingham, England, about 1849. They were married late-1872, 18 miles north-west of Lincoln in the parish of Gainsborough. [13] Their first son, Ernest G D Poole, was born about 1873 at St Aubins, Jersey in the Channel Islands. They remained there a year or two before moving to Woodbridge in Suffolk, where Alexander and two daughters, Lucy E D and Winifred Janet, were born. [12, 13] By 1881, George's family had moved to the Holy Trinity parish of Coventry, Warwick, England. They resided at No. 5 Paynes Lane, with a boarder and domestic servant. [12] George died in 1890 at the age of 41 in Ormskirk in Lancashire, 12 miles north-east of Liverpool. Susannah, died 7 years later in 1897 at neighbouring west Sheffield in Yorkshire. [12] She was only 48 years old. Two years later, Dunbar Poole emigrated to Australia.

I believe he was married with children. Secondly was Joan Milne Waugh whom I believe married an Ian Barrett Macdonald and thirdly Ellen Marjorie Waugh b. 1914 whom I understand was matron of a hospital in Perth and died some years ago from cancer.

The reconstructed floor gives a perfect surface, on which Professor Brewer, the expert from Prince's Rink, London, demonstrates what swift and artistic evolutions can be made. There are also many skillful amateurs, and all who try the ice are enthusiastic regarding the pleasures of a graceful and healthy exercise. [46] The Brisbane Courier, Wed 14 Dec 1892, p 7.

Transcript: The ice skating rink was reopened on Thursday evening. Considering the short notice the devotees of the art were given, there was a large attendance, the floor being well filled with skaters, while the seating accommodation was freely used by those who preferred to see the splendid ice floor used by others. Several improvements have been carried out, a great advantage being the partition erected between the entrance and the rink proper. The feature of the evening was an exhibition of fancy skating by Professor Brewer, who comes to Australia with excellent credentials. He proved that he is a skater whose equal has never been seen in Australia on an ice rink, and was loudly applauded for his dexterous and interesting exhibition, which reached a climax when he turned a complete somersault while going at full speed. The floor was in a better state than was ever reached previously, and all those who tried it vouched for its excellence. The temperature of the building was pleasant, the air being beautifully fresh and cool. The rink will be open every evening. [49] Adelaide Advertiser, Mon 2 May 1904, p 7.

A large number of skaters, many of whom graduated in the Exhibition Rink, occupied the ñoor, while many others watched proceedings from the comfortable seats provided. The management have spared no expense in the arrangements, and ice skating bids fair to become as popular as roller skating. [52] Adelaide Advertiser, Sat 24 and Mon 26 Nov 1906, p 2.
