Henry George WILLIAMS & Essie JOSE

[deeiluka]

Well done, Sue....that seems to eliminate the Esther born 1866 to Manuel and Elizabeth HECKLEY/ACKLEY. 

Back to the drawing board.....

From 1858 to 1879 when MANUEL and ELIZABETH were registering their children there appears a wide variation in the spelling of ELIZABETH's surname including HECKLEY.

Hmm so the marriage is under Hy George I thought I had covered all the combinations including just using Williams. Gees no wonder I don't like the Vic BDM

It tricks us all sometimes, Neil.

With the marriage certificate having been found, perhaps I should download it and see what it reveals about Essie's parents?

[Jessies Mum]

Okay, have downloaded the certificate - Essie's mother's name is Florence, Essie is born in Geelong and her father's first name is Charles - he is deceased and the surname is a little difficult to read!

[deeiluka]

Does it give Essie's age, JM? 


Dee   

[Jessies Mum]

Yep, she is 23 - so marrying in 1917 gives her birth circa 1894.

That's a help!  Now to see if one of us can find something!
Is the mother's surname the one that's difficult to read?
