WOW! Its been a long time since I've delved into this side of the family, but I'm back researching the Alting side of my family. Here is what I am 100% sure of at this point.
Agnes May Williams (b. 1873, Vaughan, Vict) was the youngest daughter of John Goodenough Williams. She married John Manus (sometimes Magnus) "Jack" Alting in Bunbury, Western Australia in 1898. I'd love to find out how she got to Bunbury, but at the moment, I don't know. They had two little girls. Constance in 1899, and Gertrude in 1901, both born in Bunbury. Agnes died of consumption in 1904, leaving Jack with two small children. He re-married Frances Lucy Victoria Price in 1906 in the district of Wellington in Perth. Frances, I believe had three confirmed children from her previous marriage. However, I cannot find a record of this marriage, or what happened to her first husband. The children, were Leslie Clifton Price (b. 1890 in Dubbo), Harold Price (b. 1892 in Peak Hill, NSW) & Thyra Price (b. 1894 in Peak Hill, NSW). I can find birth records in NSW for all three, but cannot find marriage or death records for any of them in NSW or WA. I know Thyra married Eric Somers (from her father's death notice via Trove) and that Gertrude married Alexander Colebrook and had a daughter from that same death notice. However, I cannot find a birth record for that Daughter. There was also another daughter, May, who I cannot seem to find anything on whatsoever, who married George Woods also had a daughter.
Can anyone help me find some of the missing pieces especially regarding May - and more particularly the daughters of May and Gertrude if they are still alive.
Thanks
