Social History
William Joseph Duggan (1884-1934), trade union official, was born on 31 January 1884 at 23 Spencer Street, (West) Melbourne, son of William Duggan, ironmoulder, and his wife Elizabeth Margaret, née Whitmore, both Melbourne-born. After education at West Melbourne State School, Duggan worked for an estate agent, but soon left to qualify as a plumber. After six years he joined the navy and in the next five years his knowledge of the world was expanded by extensive travel and by avid reading, the start of a sustained process of self-education. He also became champion boxer of the squadron.
