Thanks Geoff.

I'm wondering where the middle name Watkin(s) came from. Probably Oliver or Freeman side not Furner or Ottaway side.

The Sydney Morning Herald - Saturday 5 May 1900 p.7
SOCIAL

Ottaway, of Wellington, took place on Wednesday, April 11, at the Wesleyan Church, Wellington. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. Stewart, of Dubbo. ...

Char... Ottaway dau 6

Not sure, Dave... Blowing the image up it's still poor.. there appears to be a downward stroke to the left in the middle, suggesting y or g, first letter could be M, would take a stab at Mary Ann or Maryann

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

Looks now like Maryann. Not Charyann.

I can't find Mary Ottaway in 1891 using born Somerset on FS.

I can't find Mary Ottaway in 1891 using born Somerset on FS.

No, I couldn't, probably wrongly transcribed somewhere...

Address: .ender St

Very poor copy, not sure..

Geoff

 

[horse]

If that was Thomas' death in 1895, they may still be found together in 1891..

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

I've tried just using Thomas born Surrey + spouse Mary looking for a Thomas with age to fit and no luck.
