George Ardill

[3] George Ardill married his wife Louisa Wales (1853–1920) on 8 September 1885 at the Baptist Church, Bathurst Street.

Katie attended Wellesley College, and the University of Sydney and became a medical doctor, and served in World War I and a surgeon.

[3] Ardill was actively involved in community organisations throughout his life, serving as a member of the Aborigines Protection Board from 1936 to 1945, as Executive Director of the Society for Providing Homes for Neglected Children from 1945 to 1964, and as Foundation President of the Sound Finance League of Australia in 1933.

Ardill entered state politics at the 1930 election, narrowly winning the new, notionally Nationalist seat of Yass.

[8] He attempted to shift to the adjacent seat of Goulburn at the 1941 election after a hostile redistribution affected his margin in Yass, but lost to the incumbent Labor MLA, Jack Tully.
