They settled in Narrogin around 1894 and their first home was a small iron shanty.
Isaac worked for Mr Chipper on a property on the Wickepin Road for 8 years, and then managed the property for Dr Lewis.
Francis also helped provide for the family by driving a vegetable cart around the district, which often meant camping out for the night, often nursing a baby at the same time.
Francis died aged 79 in 1948 after a lengthy illness and is buried in the Narrogin cemetery.
Her obituary in the Narrogin Observer noted that, as a sign of respect, the Australian flag on the town hall was flown at half mast.
After her death Isaac moved to live with his daughter Hetty and Dave Meers. He died in Royal Perth Hospital in 1950 and is also buried in Narrogin cemetery.His obituary said ’ It is unfortunate that a record of the life of the late Isaac Giles, coupled with his intimate knowledge of the early history of the town and district has not been recorded’."] Text[6]=["","Click on the surname for photograph."] Text[7]=["",""] Text[8]=["",""] Text[9]=["",""] Text[10]=["",""] Style[0]=["white","black","#C49FB9","#ffffff","","","","","","","","","",2,300,"",2,2,10,10,51,1,0,"",""] Style[1]=["white","black","#C49FB9","#ffffff","","","","","","","","","","",300,"",2,2,10,10,51,1,0,"",""] Style[2]=["white","black","#000099","#E8E8FF","","","","","","","left","","","",600,"",2,2,10,10,"","","","",""] Style[3]=["white","black","#000099","#E8E8FF","","","","","","","float","","","",600,"",2,2,10,10,"","","","",""] Style[4]=["white","black","#E2D0DC","#ffffff","","","","","","","fixed","","","",600,"",2,2,1,1,"","","","",""] Style[5]=["white","black","#E2D0DC","#ffffff","","","","","","Verdana","","sticky","2","",600,"",2,2,10,10,"","","","",""] Style[6]=["white","black","#000099","#E8E8FF","","","","","","","","keep","","",600,"",2,2,10,10,"","","","",""] Style[7]=["white","black","#000099","#E8E8FF","","","","","","","","","","",600,"",2,2,40,10,"","","","",""] Style[8]=["white","black","#000099","#E8E8FF","","","","","","","","","","",600,"",2,2,10,50,"","","","",""] Style[9]=["white","black","#000099","#E8E8FF","","","","","","","","","","",600,"",2,2,10,10,51,0.5,75,"simple","gray"] Style[10]=["white","black","black","white","","","right","","Impact","cursive","center","",3,5,600,150,5,20,10,0,50,1,80,"complex","gray"] Style[11]=["white","black","#000099","#E8E8FF","","","","","","","","","","",600,"",2,2,10,10,51,0.5,45,"simple","gray"] Style[12]=["white","black","#000099","#E8E8FF","","","","","","","","","","",600,"",2,2,10,10,"","","","",""] applyCssFilter()
