Round and round the mulberry bush   ;D

 ;D ;D

I noticed that Annis DANKS mentioned in the snip was from Menzies on the goldfields of WA.  If she is Joseph and Clara's daughter perhaps Joseph was a miner and moved to WA when gold was discovered in 1894.

Frederick Thomas MARGETTS was a barman at Menzies on the 1906 and later electoral rolls.  His wife was shown an Annie on the electoral rolls to 1931.

Many of the DANKS in WA on the indexes appear to be descendants of John DANKS and Ellen KELLEHER however I noticed the birth of a Clara in 1906 in the district of North Coolgardie.  Unfortunately post 1905 births in WA do not details parents.

I wonder how often Annis was transcribed as Annie.

Clara was eldest daughter of James Wilson (a coal miner from Barnsley, England) & Sarah Gledhill (Bn England). The family emigrated to Australia arriving April 1886 in Sydney with their children: Clara, Amelia, Joseph, George & Arthur.  George was my gt grandfather. James & Sarah were married in the June Qtr of 1870 at Barnsley.  Clara married Joseph Danks at Stockton (where family ended up after emigrating) in 1891 & as per NSW BDM had 1 daughter Annis in 1893 at Stockton.  This is as far as I have been able to get with this line.

Thankyou to all you amazing people with what you have come up with so far today.  I truly stand in awe.  That certainly give me some more to continue on with.

Joseph DANKS was a MINER  :)

The 1903 NSW  ERoll shows him living at North St, Stockton NSW.

Clara is not listed with him, but as it was not compulsory to vote could be the reason why.

Clara wouldn't have been old enough to vote in 1903...born 1893.  Many women didn't enrol to vote anyway.

Hope this hasn't been posted. 

Annis's burial record which indicates a birth in 1893.
