Jean and Bill Troughton and their 5 children
Elissa Jean was the fifth child and third daughter of Tom and Louie Wheeler, and like her sisters Ethel and Esme she trained as a nurse. However she managed to negotiate to complete her training in Auckland, rather than at Cook Hospital Gisborne with her Aunt Gertrude.
Jean married William (Bill) Arthur Troughton and the family farmed in a number of locations including Pukekohe and Maramarua before ill health forced Bill off the farm and they retired to Auckland.
They had five children. Jean still lives on the Gold Coast, Australia, close to her daughter Rosemary, and until very recently was a very keen and active bridge player.
