The history of the Scriven family centred around the house at 80 Holdsworth Road. The old Queenslander house at 80 Holdsworth Road, North Ipswich has seen better days, yet it is still full of stories of lives lived and loved. Collated through dedicated research, the knowledge of our older generation, a few eulogies and some half-remembered anecdotes this book is a thorough but by no means definitive collection. It contains much of our family’s history, its many branches and our part in the settlement of Australia by Europeans.
