[nudge67]

No - no record at all.

Only info I have is out of BISA. How many births went unregisted back then?

Just a  thought

There is a daughter Margaret BLAKE born 21st June 1860 to George Blake and Christina McFeat at Light District Burra Reg  Book106  Page401

She married  23/9/1885 at BC Church Marabeel Book144 Page 1080 to  John OLIVER aged 27 father Robert Oliver.

Perhaps  the BISA has it wrong


Noted  this marriage as well

Isabella BLAKE aged 22 father George Blake  married at the Residence of Richard REECE Marabeel 12/8/1878 Book166page528 to Benjamin WATTS aged 34 father George Thomas WATTS

Hi Jenn

The REES Richard information I accessed in BISA only mentions Christina nee BLAKE [nee McFEAT]as 2nd wife...not date of marriage or issue.  Info does not include the nee MCFEAT.

According to the marriage index they were married on 18 Feb 1864.

Cheers

I had assumed from Nudge' comment  that he had got Martha's details from  the BISA

There is further contributed information on The South Australians 1836-1885 with was published in 1990 to complement the Biographical index.   It is a separate disc on my version of BISA...I only search there if I find nothing on BISA.  Sorry about the confusion.

Hello  there Cando

Oh well,  Martha did marry in  the same area all too confusing with  the many variations of the name REES

Hi
A son of the above couple was born in September 1898 born at HAWKER.  Joseph Albert.
He enlisted in 1918 and was a Chemist's apprentice.  His father was a chemist and he and MARTHA gave signed consent for his enlistment to overseas duty.
There is a letter from Joseph dated 1962 giving his SA address.
