Hi Dee & Jenn
 We hang our heads as we should have put in the information that we already have. Here it is -
No details of children of William & Lucy Humphries however we do know that their son William John Humphries married an Ellen Mann (1844- 1919) and had at least one child Thomas Jeffery Humphries (1874-1923) who married Annie McKee (1868-1928). This information gleaned from cemeteries in SA.
Thomas Jeffery Humphries and Annie Mckee were my wife's grandparents and we have full details of their children etc. Thomas Humphries was a publican and at one time (1905-1908 and possibly longer) was the licensee of the Commercial Hotel,Fremantle. May also have had an interest in the Excxhange Hotel in Pingelly WA.
