Thanks for your reply, Jamjar. I realise Alice's middle name was with a C, but I have 2 grandmothers registered at birth as Catherine and one died as Kathleen and both sometimes called Kate or Kit, so have seen it written both ways for Alice. I have Catherine as a middle name after them! The point I was trying to make to researchers who put Alice's death as 1915 is that she had a completely different middle name ,Clara, and also was almost twice her age.
BTW, this week I found my Alice's son by Murray Albert Boswood, Frederick Albert Boswood born 1908 Newtown,Sydney,, buried 14.11.1980 in an RAAF grave in Patho Victoria, through Gravestone Photographs.He's the only one in the grave, but his wife and 4 children's names are there. The Gravestones Project had that his parents were Murray Albert and Alice Boswood, so I thought I'd found Alice after all these years, but Charles Sale who runs the Project contacted the transcriber,Susan Doyle who has just emailed me to say she got the parents' names from the cemetery record. I don't think Murray ever married Alice as he's buried in Karrakatta Cemetery,WA ,with wife Katheline (yes, that's how it was spelt!) I've found, in NSW BDM, an Alice Bowman married to an Alfred Bond in Sydney 1917 and as I have a visiting card from my g/mother's collection with "John and Mary Bond, Maryville,Goulburn,"on it, think this might be a lead. However, in 1923 there's an Alice Bond getting a Decree Absolut against Alfred Bond, granted September 1924(from TROVE). Then there's an Alice Bond marrying a Stanley Williams in 1929, so the hunt continues! Are you related to this Heagney line? My grandfather Francis Joseph Heagney(1871 Berrima-1919 Perth WA) was Alice's brother.
