Hello Ruby,
Thanks. Well, I am not certain, either.
From the 1936 Electoral Roll listing we have the following people who are related to mine but maybe not to yours.
Albert George WICKENS an engineer
spouse: Elizabeth Maud (nee SILVA) b. 1886 Sydney
son: Sydney Slyva (Silva) b. 1 Feb 1909 Alexandria
son: Norman Leonard b. 1915 Canterbury
and a son not in that listing:
Albert Joseph George b. 16 Jun 1906 Alexandria
I can see no other marriage in NSW for an 'Albert WICKENS' (there may be other spellings such as Wickings or marriages in another state) apart from the one of his son, Albert:
marriages:
# 6081/1905 WICKENS ALBERT F G SILVA ELIZABETH M SYDNEY
# 4217/1930 WICKENS ALBERT J G MUSGRAVE MYRTLE J BANKSTOWN
I looked for a birth for an Albert F G WICKENS and found this one:
Surname: WICKENS
Given Names: Albert Frederick G
Event: Birth
December quarter 1874
GREENWICH, ENGLAND
Volume number: 1d
Page number: 894
Birth registered Oct-Dec and actual birth could possibly fall late Sept.
Re the marriage in Sep 1864 in Surrey, that is from the index and it means registered in the September quarter (July-Sept) of the year.
Re the death of Elizabeth Jane WICKENS I gave that one as a possibility since I have no shipping record yet showing who arrived in Australia and when. There is this death in NSW:
6309/1902 WICKENS ELIZABETH J RICHARD MARY A NOWRA
and this one too, so I would say that almost proves they both came to Australia and died in Nowra:
8316/1926 WICKENS JOHN W JOHN F EMMA E NOWRA
Re John Flowers Robert, he appears in the Electoral Roll in 1930 in Division of Parkes and in 1936 in Division of Lang. And his marriage:
# 6977/1929 WICKENS JOHN F R NELSON DELIA MARRICKVILLE
and his death with names reversed:
# 21901/1955 WICKENS JOHN ROBERT F JOHN WILLIAM ELIZABETH JANE RYDE
Regards,
Dave
