Thanx very much Cando and Rosanna - you have done some amazing research.
My mother and I have both had our DNA done and I am sure that I don't any connection to the Aydon's above Philip Henry Aydon. I have messaged someone on the Walsh side of the Aydon family to see if they have done their DNA or would be interested in having it done, to put to rest the question of Archibald's father. Not yet received a reply yet.
I found an article about Katie Roscoe who was described as the half sister of Frederick and Archibald so am now sure of that connection. But would love to find out more of their mother Agnes Rose Annie Smith.

I am not sure why the name 'ROSCOW' has been connected to either Archibald Alexander Aydon or his brother Frederick Aydon. Their parents were Philip Henry Aydon and Agnes Rosa Annie Smith and therefore their surname was Aydon.

Katie Rickard nee Roscow is the problem?

Never take as gospel all that is recorded in census records - (as Dr House would say "everyone is a liar")

(Her obit says "She was born in Roscoe, New Zealand")  posted by Dundee

Never heard of a place called 'Roscoe' in New Zealand?

When Agnes Aydon nee Smith died it is only her sons that are listed in the newspaper clipping of her death - no mention of Katie??

The Rickards and the (Australia) Aydon's seem to be very close but can't find a birth in Nelson, NZ or Melbourne, Aus  for Katie/Kattie Aydon.  [Anyone find one I will give them ten pounds!  ;)]

Father James Benjamin  Mother Agnes Rosa Annie SMITH
At North Melbourne  1859  Reg#857

Can we say for sure this is not an illegitimate birth?
Could this have been the reason for the end of the marrage between Agnes and Philip? And the reason she went to New Zealand?

Questions, questions.....

Sorry I too have been trying to pin down just when Philip came over to Australia - I am pretty sure it was during a gold rush in South Australia but that is all I know.
I would love to know when his wife Agnes moved to Nelson.
Also re Katie Aydon - I don't think Philip and Agnes had a daughter.
My mother can't ever recall hearing about her.
Fred was a theatre manger and worked for Harry Rickard's (whose was I believe was from England) and I think the idea of making Katie a local girl may have been invented between them. I have found a illegitimate birth record in Australia listing the mother as Agnes Anne Rose Smith but have misplaced the details, will try and find them and post them for you. Could be the reason for Philip and Agnes's split.
Other stuff:
Mr & Mrs Archibald Aydon of Grove St Nelson NZ had triplets, all boys, born 21st May 1903, already had 7 sons.
Sadly only one of the boys survived. Mary also had stillborn triplets (all girls) but they were not recorded.
I have only found twin in the both the Woodward and Aydon family trees.
