William Walter Deacon b Q1 1886 Tonbridge, Kent, England
« on: Wednesday 02 August 23 11:22 BST (UK) »
The above married Edith Louise King (born  Q1 1885 Lambeth, London) 5 Aug 1912 in Bidborough, Kent. They had 5 children: Edith May b Q1 1913, Grace Annie Q3 1914, George Walter Q1 1920, Betty Q3 1922. They also had William Frederick Q1 1917 who married Margaret Eva Till 1 Apr 1939 in Sydney, NSW and they both died there.
The whole family emigrated to Sydney 5 Jun 1926 and I'm trying to find out what happened to them once there. Both William and Edith died in Forster, New South Wales.
There are various trees on Ancestry that show some events but none seem to have any sources other than copying from other trees!
Hoping that you can get to the real truth about the family.

Hi
I did a search on Mr Google under name "Edith Louise Deacon" which gave a result on Family Search, which leads to a tree including Betty
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/G4B3-39Q

this leads to Find a Grave for a memorial of Betty Hines
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/211848747/betty-hines#view-photo=207667039

Hopefully it is your Betty.
