Apologies Gerry and Sue,

Strange I didnt get an email notification of your postings, I have only just logged into RC so many thanks.

Yes I now believe that Colin and Daisy didnt marry until much later (if in fact they did).  I was very interested to see that Vincent Francis Jones was in Cairns, will have to delve a little further.

Yes I did find the possible birth and article in Trove :)

Both Colin and Daisy died in Brisbane - Colin Henry Biggin 4th March 1993 aged 85 years and Daisy Florence Biggin four months later on 16th July 1993 also aged 85 years.

Once again I really appreciate all your assistance, from nothing to all this information  :)

bye E

I am Colin and Daisy's younger child Jacqueline born in 1946 and can probably help you with missing details. Colin and Daisy raised the 5 children from Daisy' first marriage and had Thomas and myself. As far as I know I am the only surviving child. I only had personal contact with Vincent David, Lesley John and Fay from Daisy's first marriage.  I still have close contact with Fay and Les' children. My understanding is that Daisy and Colin were unable to contact Vincent Jones or find out his whereabouts until about 1975-76. My understanding is that they traced him eventually to Charters Towers and found that he had died.  They then married about 1975-76 in Coffs Harbour and their witnesses were Colin's brother Alan and Alan's wife, Edna. I still have contact with Alan's son, also named Alan. Colin and Daisy were loving caring parents and are sorely missed. God bless them both. Hope this helps. Jackie

I am Thomas Heywoods daughter no 5 of 6 girls. Daisy  and Colin only married after my father had a catastrophic car accident in 1972 where he lost the front lobes of his brain. They took over care of him after my mother devorced him . Leaving his 6 children destitute never to receive any bdy cards or xmas cards ever. No support for his children . I only met Jackie biggin Martin after my fathers death. Daisy's  children from Jones marrige were in childrens homes in there childhood..
