Thanks for your further information.

Herbert Palmer MORTON married Alice Vera Pritchard DUTTON in 1922 and they did have a daughter prior to his desertion in 1927. Details of that daughter remain a mystery.

Alice was born in Parramatta, NSW in 1899. BD&M in NSW only lists her mother as Alice M and father as unknown. I would also love to find out more details of their daughter whom would be my mother first cousin.

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure what information you have about Alice Maud PRITCHARD/DUTTON.

When she gave birth to Alice Vera Pritchard DUTTON in NSW, she registered the birth in two different forms.
14892/1899 PRITCHARD Alice V  D
Father-
Mother Alice M
At PARRAMATTA

14892/1899 DUTTON   ALICE V P
Father-
Mother Alice M
At PARRAMATTA

            
It makes it difficult to be certain which was actually Alice Maud’s birth name- PRITCHARD or DUTTON, but her death in Qld reads it as PRITCHARD.  ;D

1956   B15566 Alice Maud PRITCHARD
Parents William & Ann DAWES

She is interred with her daughter, Alice Vera, but under the name DUTTON.

https://online.brisbane.qld.gov.au/cemeteries/cemeteries_step2.jsp

Note also that Alice Vera died under the surname BORLAND.

The Electoral Roll in 1943 has
Alice Vera MORTON at 12  Sherriff St. Petrie Tce. Paddington (Brisbane) A housemaid.
At the same address is Alice Maud DUTTON (her mother) 
Also there is Ruby Edna DUTTON   She is a shop assistant.

She was another daughter of Alice PRITCHARD.

Here is her death in the surname SUMMERS.

1949   B23711   Ruby Edna   SUMMERS   - Father- Mother Alice Pritchard
She appears on the Electoral Roll of 1949 as SUMMERS with a chap of that surname. Their address is in South Brisbane

Thanks Sue

That is wonderful news. I need to absorb all that and try and make sense of it. But invaluable information.

Thanks again.
