Marriage info Please

In view of this information above, I think you will not find a marriage for Irene and Edward.

Bessie Maud was born to Harry WILLIS and Frances Connie, nee SMITH in 1916 (Reg 014447)

She married Edward Daniel DALY 09/02/1937
Reg.27373
Qld

When Bessie Maude's address was not known to Edward in his attestation, he stated possibly she was at Jimna, via Kincoy. Qld.
There was a family WILLIS living at Kilcoy. Possibly her father whose name was Harry WILLIS.

When out OP, Nessie56 comes back, she may like to see the probable passenger arrival for Irene from familysearch.org.

Per Wanganella.
With her- Infant Daly (male) and Master *. Daly aged 4 years.

I believe more information will be available regarding Mast *. Daly, born 1955. (By PM to protect privacy)

So, she left before her young daughter died.

Strange. Perhaps the immigration record is wrong.

It would be an interesting DC to see.
Perhaps she had been given over to the care of another person....fostered...adopted.

Probably with her father as she accidentally died at Dagmar Cresent, Blacktown.

[sparrett]

Don't know exactly when Bessie Maud returned to live with Edward at 29 Dagmar, but it is hard to imagine she took up the care of Irene's child. Possible I suppose.

The first record I see of Bessie at Dagmar Cres.is 1963.

I have a copy of the obituary which is typed below with an edit to remove a male name (which doesn't appear to match the one on the passenger list unless it's the unnamed infant. But there is only one sibling in the notice. I'll send that to you via a PM - Sue).

DALY (Hitchen), Colleen Iris - Sept 16, 1959 (accidentally), late of Dagmar Cresent, Blacktown, loving daughter of Mr and Mrs E Daly and loving sister of XXX.  R.I.P.

XXX = I have removed her brother's name.

[~MERLIN~]

Inquest into death of Colleen DALY 16/11/1959 at Parramatta, Coroners Court.
