The tree also says that Fanny Attrill was born  5 September 1848, Cook's River, Petersham, NSW so Mary Florence had connections to Oz.

Thankyou all so much .I missed the second Trove article which names an aunt which explains the Robertson included in her name. Her NOK in Berties Canada Military files kept repeating her at the home of BGD General Robertson Royal Parade Parkville.
The family were always told Bertie went off to Canada & I found a death for him 1950 Vict British Columbia but it appears he never returned to her or her child.
Thankyou also with the help of locating Fanny Attrill and Alfred Monaghan Williams who clearly was
Going by Alfred Edward Williams which had me somewhat confused.
Greatly appreciated

Trying to find out a bit more about Mrs Robert ROBERTSON and her connection to "niece" Florence WILLIAMS, also when she arrived in Australia. Still working on it, however there is this item in 1902 (also mentions John ATTRILL):

Most likely - Robert ROBERTSON married Rose ATTRILL in 1872 in Victoria, Aust  (1325 / 1872).

Rose is the sister of Fanny ATTRILL, daughters of John and Catherine.

Marriage notice:

but still looking for when Florence WILLIAMS arrived Australia.

I'm confused. There is this death for Fanny WILLIAMS, aged 73, wife of Alfred Edward WILLIAMS of New Zealand, daughter of John and Catherine, in Wagga in 1923 (6823/1923 ).

Obituary:
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/143201255
Only mentions daughters Mrs O'DONNELL and Mrs KENNEDY.

An Alfred Edward WILLIAMS died in NZ in 1882 aged 32.

There is also a death of 10 year old Alfred Willoughby WILLIAMS, son of the late Alfred Edward WILLIAMS and Fanny at Gosford, NSW in 1885.
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/13575155

The coroner's report says 10 year old Alfred was born in New Zealand, though I can't see his birth registration, unless it's this one (1875/11237) which has parents Alfred and Jessie.

The only births in NZ to Alfred Edward WILLIAMS and Fanny are:
1876  Walter Hesketh
1880  Isabel Margaret
1882  Mary Florence
