Children of Henry Webster and Annie Kathleen Gregg

[Zep1]

Hello all

I am looking for information about the children of Henry WEBSTER and Annie Kathleen GREGG, of Mt Egerton, VIC, then Western Australia - while all are listed in BDMs as being children of Henry and Annie, the question comes from the death notice of the eldest child, Kathleen, published in The West Australian on 12 Nov 1954;

"... Kathleen, eldest daughter of the late Annie and Harry Webster, loving sister of Maud, Silv, George and Theresa (deceased), Tom, Jack, Veronica, and step-sister of Laurel and Laurie."

If anyone knows about the alternate parentage of Laurel and Laurie, could you please let me know?

Thank you,
Zep

When Henry enlists with wife as Annie Kathleen Webster, he gives his son John Webster as his NOK.  Address for John is Klontaff Orphanage.

But John (or Jack) isn't mentioned in Henry's death notice although he is in Annie's so was still alive.

Edit to remove incorrect info and hopefully the new info will help.

Not sure if this is the correct man but a mention of a Henry Webster, who is a miner,  and age 45 in 1916 so seems likely which may explain some of the problems ...

adding : His wife was Annie http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article26984658 so seems very probable!
and 3 of her children had been admitted to a home. (how very sad)
