Just to further round out thefamily, here is the death of "Mrs Oliver" who was the sister of Catherine's mother and is referred to in the divorce proceedings as a "businesss woman"
I wanted to know the maiden name of Catherine's mother ---seeking the WEST connection---(which we now have to some extent ??? per MI from C o L)

Death in Victoria

Father Jno WILKINSON
Mother Margaret unknown
At S. Hills
Aged 70

The bequests of Annie Oliver who died in 1921 included Charles and Barbara HARPER and Elizabeth HARPER. Relationship not stated. Charles chn also seem to be included

During this description of the intrusion into her home She calls for her boy of 14.Again born well before the marriage to Wolfe.
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/91005459

 
Sue

Looking again at the above news item, I searched further descriptions of the event.

This item states the 14 year old boy was white.
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/148618571

[It is unclear whether he was related to her, or an employee etc.]

And that the intruder's name was CHAMPION.

AustraliaJack is interested in the  name CHAMPION per his other current thread.
