I suspect it was her father (and mistranscribed)

Of course it is! I feel very very stupid now. Why do you think it would be her father, and not her husband? Would I be right in assuming then that she most likely had no children?

Joan Lois 1974

Cheers, JM

Well thats really sad. she died aged 40 an was outlived by her Mother by over 20 years. :( I'm really sad now. I'd love to know how she died, and if she had any children.
Who is the Grantee  on the burial record? How do I find them?

Is it possible that your Confusing man could have been from Eyre?  (SOUTH Australia)!

I thought of that too jaybelnz, and although a lot of my family do have connections to South Australia, this particular part does not. John Goodenough (the father in question) was born in England and died in Victoria. His eldest son, also John (Alexander) did die in Largs Bay though.

At the NAA online,  Lesie Clifton PRICE has his mother as next of kin.  Her name is listed there as Francis ALTING.

I found that too JM, interesting that the elder brother enlisted, but the younger brother, by only 2 years, did not....

Hi Ash,

As far as I know, it is still a No No to name people at RChat who may still be living people.  May I suggest you modify and leave initials rather than given names.

(NSW BDM online index restricted access 100 years for births, 50 for marriages and 30 for deaths)


Cheers,  JM

No problem JM, sorry, I forgot that guideline. I have modified my post to just say daughters.
thanks :)

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
Ash

Hi LeighJ,

I found a passenger list at the QLD State Archives. I've just looked up the sheet I have and there is a Joseph Walsh on the page that I have.

If you would like, I can email you the image that I have. Send me your email address, prob better to message it to me directly, and I'll send it through to you.

Ash

February makes sense - although her previous husband died Feb 1868, not 1870...
