Had been going to add this earlier but see it is now mentioned in the thread ... so adding here just for reference.   [My source originally was Victoria Police Gazette - 1889. ]

No - the last record I have for him is the 1889 larceny charge in Melbourne.  This would have been the year following his marriage to Emma Jane.

Wow - I knew about Godden's additional larceny charge in Australia but had never seen that doc!  Thanks, Lucy2.

I just shake my head - I mean seriously, these people!!! 

Thanks so much for that very entertaining info Lucy2.  I knew of the charges but had never seen the media reports, nor did I know that brother Charles had been implicated.

Charles died in Porirua (probably the mental hospital there)  in 1936.

Hi Carol ...  when searching on Julian, did notice that another brother > Danvers > also popped up in VIC Police Gazette (haven't explored that aspect yet. )   ;D

Yes, that is correct John. I have a copy of that birth cert which incorrectly lists her mother as married to Wilkes.

Just incidentally, who was the witness to (or the person registering) the birth of Ellen WILKES in 1885 ??
