Hi Wivenhoe
So on the marriage cert (which is really hard to see the witnesses are : ?? Bombadieri -Anna Peroggia (looks like) & Joshua John Wheeler - Ann Smith
So to the next it was on trove in a newspaper cutting - This is the part "The evidence of deceased's wife showed that she had been married to deceased for seventeen years, and they had six children living". Bendigo advertiser 1858
"..Ann spent 5 years South Australia.........spent 59 years Victoria."
This I worked out from the time she arrived in South Australia had a child and the next child was born in Victoria
"..Ann died Gwynne street, Richmond"
This came directly from a relative - the street of the Pinnell family
Gwynne street, Richmond, Victoria, Australia #: 06524
Apr 7 1909
REF:Ann Wheeler Gender: Female Birth: Circa 1832 Age: 77 Death: 1909 - Richmond, Victoria, Australia Father: Malone Wheeler Mother: Eliza Smith Registration #: 06524
If Ann is widowed, 1868, with six children, you might think there would be......maybe three under ten years old. Ann does not remarry so how does Ann support her children. They would likely go into institutionalised care.....or....who helps Ann to support her children?
Now this I can't answer?? No idea how she supported the children?? but they all grew up in Bendigo area
Where you see SMITH and MALONE as family names for Ann, it is useful to know the name of the informant. Who is naming Ann's family. I am not suggesting that you buy each certificate but consider that Ann might not be naming herself ie Ann is not the informant.
Yes I understand that and this is no doubt the reason name keeps changing?? & definitely can't buy all certificates unfortunately. But may have to purchase another I think?? to get a few more answers??
I have attached the birth cert so you can read.
Also yes I did find the War information on William Henry wheeler. So this was useful
The Cornish name moves in down the line - married in. But not my side of the family as I am Bombardieri side.
Hopefully this helps & thank you
