We are looking for our family heritage of our great grandmother, her name was Fanny WELLS, or Frances, she was born in 1884 in Victoria, Australia, and I think the place she was born was Warracknabeal. We have absolutely nothing else to go on as she immigrated to New Zealand and so her history was never talked about. I have researched through websites and have come up with more detail but need some sort of confirmation. I think her mother was called Mary WERREY and may have been born around 1856, Fanny,s father could have been William Henry Wells. She may have had a brother William Henry HARRIS WELLS born in 1869. I have searched marriage records for her parents but have found nothing. She was very dark skinned with fine features so was biracial, when she came to NZ she had three boys they were quite dark but they never talked about their heritage so no one knows where the dark blood comes from.
I have also found a Mary Jane Werrey who was born the same time and married at 33 years old to Hans William Jurgen, they do have a family tree in ancestry.Com, so not sure whether that is an entirely different person.
If anyone could shed some light on this great family mystery it would be appreciated.
