I'm sorry if I have been evasive. I have read the posts a number of times trying to sort through all these 'Steddys'.
Am I correct in thinking that Claris May Carter arrived in Australia  December 1927 aboard the SS Balranald. She possibly married William George Steddy in 1930  and if so she probably died in 1950, age 55 years.

Although there is a record that shows Clarice May Carter living Brookton 1931 - 1943 !!! Is there a death recorded?

All very intriguing.

Bob

Thanks

The other William George STEDDY......
When this man enlisted for WW2 he was not living at Milroy Farm, Brookton with Clarice M STEDDY.

A passenger from Southampton to Fremantle on the ship Jervis Bay who arrived 8 Jan 1932......maybe the chap who went back to the UK for 18 months?
Mr William G STEDDY, a farmer, aged 29.
Country of last residence, England   
Intended future residence, Australia.

Hi Bob,
Rhonda May has highlighted some points and further to her thoughts....
Clarice arrived as suggested per Balranald and married in 1930 to William George STEDDY born Canterbury, Kent. {NOT from the STEDDY family of which Edward William STEDDY was patriach}

He returned to Canterbury, Kent arriving in London June 1930 and gave a future address as being  the same as 1925 which had been his mother's home.
In 1922 his widowed mother had remarried.
She now has the name of William George STEDDY's next of Kin on enlistment. Alice HARDING.

Marriages Sep 1922   

Arthur HARDING      
Alice M STEDDY         
2a/2494Canterbury

Clarice in Western Australia,reverted to her maiden name of CARTER and was living at a large property in Brookton, Beverley known as Milroy Farm owned by one R L S Crawfrod.

Returning to Australia William was living at Nembudding, a good distance from Brookton. He took some years of his age when he enlisted.

His mother's  was HAYWOOD EDIT HAYWARD and this is the maiden surname on this birth.
Births Mar 1902   
 
STEEDY William George
MMN HAYWARD  (Matches maiden name on marriage to STEDDY 1900)
Canterbury
2a/880



I think he was back in England after the war and we can look there for signs of him, but there is a possible  re-marriage for him in 1964, well after the death of Clarice.

This death may or may not have relevance to Clarice.
STEDDY, Stillborn Male
Beverley REG 42
Year    1934
