She was living in Southport, Qld. in the 1960s and 1970s.

Been having computer problems the last week or so Damn thing

The Trove article mentions a wife and child. Guess George must have remarried??

 

[DaveHam9]

The marriage says with consent of parents - I wonder if that means 3 parents if Betsy died in England.

I've not looked at George before. Just found out from shipping record that he had arrived first.

No idea if he remarried or if Betsy also came to NSW.

I'll continue tomorrow.

 

[DaveHam9]

No deaths in NSW with father = John and mother = Betsy/Betsey

No death for a Betsy/Betsey MORRIS

The NSW BMD is not returning any hits for a marriage search so can't find a possible remarriage for George.
