Cheers,  JM

JM I think the place is Inverell albeit spelled incorrectly...definitely not Timbercreek .

Dee you are not doubt aware there are only two birth registrations for persons named Lancelot WEST in Australia - the one you have mentioned in SA and another in WA for a Lancelot Leslie WEST who died in infancy.  I do hope it is not simply a co-incidence of names an occupations.  I doubt a station master at Alberton would rate a mention in TROVE unless there had been an incident at the station.  My understanding is that Lancelot would have qualified as a clerk and risen through the ranks to station master.

I don't envy your search for Mrs F WEST on the electoral rolls in your era of interest and many are missing.   Wonder if she lived near or with Lancelot in her declining years.  I note the Frances' death you mention was a death in a hospital or place of care at Woodville.

Just discussing some of it with other RootsChatters is a help, Cando....it's reassuring that I haven't missed something obvious.

Yes, I had noted the Lancelot Leslie person, and realised that at least he didn't have to be considered. 

Interesting fact that Edwin's wife came back from Paruna to Rose Park to have her son.

Paruna would have been extremely isolated in 1923....it still was in 1966 when I lived in the Brown's Well Council area albeit on the southern fringe.

Interesting fact that Edwin's wife came back from Paruna to Rose Park to have her son.

Rose Park was the location of the former Queen Victoria Maternity Hospital but was known as Queen's Home in 1923. 

There was a Mrs Frances WEST on the 1909 electoral roll at Goolwa.  I was thinking about the TUCKWELL connection.

Dee who were the witnesses at the Edwin's marriage?

Witnesses on marriage certificate I can't give you, Cando......I don't actually have it. I have seen it at Unley, but at present don't have access to my transcription.

An interesting snippet, Cando!

Lancelot DeArcy West was appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1929.
(From The Chronicle, 7th November 1929.)

There are so many little bits of information about him, but none of them provide anything to definitely link or not link him to Edwin Peter.

Unfortunately there is no photo of Edwin Peter West, so I can't even look for a family resemblance. There are lots of newspaper images of Lancelot De Arcy West.

Probably not the right place but Googlemap has a river/creek called Fell Timber Creek.  It's between Rye Park and Rugby which are East of Booroowa - no connection to anything else on your thread!!

This article uses the name Felled Timber Creek.  Interesting reminiscences of the area, but no use to your search.
