Dr Lightoller's father had a large cotton factory in Lancashire. Henry and Minnie Lightoller were "hosts of many social functions at their pretty residence //Highlands//, in Albion", Brisbane.((Trevor Whitehead, "Nos 27-45 Grandview Street, Pymble", //The Historian//, Ku-ring-gai Historical Society, 39:1, October 2010, p.167)) {{:dr_henry_martin_lightoller_enhanced.jpeg?200|}((Provenance: T.A. & M.T.
