Biographies

CHARLTON, MATTHEW (1866-1948), Labor politician, was born on 15 March 1866 at Linton near Ballarat, Victoria, son of Matthew Charlton, a miner from Durham, England, and his wife Mabel, née Foard. In 1871 the family moved to Lambton, a mining village outside Newcastle, New South Wales, where the Scottish-Australian Co. had established coal-mining operations. Educated at Lambton Public School, young Charlton worked in the mines as a trapper, then at the coal-face. On 26 June 1889 at New Lambton he married Martha Rollings according to the forms of the Particular Baptist Church.
