Hi Vicki,
My great grandmother was Clara Ann Wilson. She married Joseph Danks on 28 November 1891 at Stockton NSW. On the marriage certificate it states that Joseph was 24yrs and Clara was 22yrs. Joseph was a miner. Clara was born on 14 May 1870 in Barnsley UK and died, aged 69yrs, on 30 June 1939 at East Freemantle. Clara and Joseph had two children together - Annis Wilson, born in 1893 at Stockton NSW, and Ada Wilson born 1888. Joseph was listed as the father on Annis' birth certificate, but Ada's has father as unknown, although it is believed to be Joseph also. I have quite a lot of information on Clara's family and marriage, baptism, birth certificates (copies) from her parents etc. I do not have a great deal on Joseph Danks as yet. Clara went on to live with John McGowan after leaving Joseph, though it appears Clara and John never married. They had two children, my Grandmother - also Clara, and a daughter Maggie, who died at the age of 16yrs. They resided in Western Australia, mainly the goldfield area around Kalgoorlie and Boulder. John McGowan died 17 January 1910, and his last years have quite a detailed story. I have many records around this also. If you are able to tell me what information you need, I can pass all I have onto you. Like I said, I am not sure if you are interested in Clara's side of the family, or the Danks side. I hope this is helpful to you, and let me know if I can assist you with what I have already. Cheers, Jenny.
