It looks as though we have the wrong family in the census.

So born abt 1869 - 1872.

There doesn't appear to be a suitable birth in Glos. 1870-1874 for Thomas/Edley, there is this in Somerset, about 10-15 miles S of Bristol. The NSW info points to 1872

Emily died 1947 so didn't expect him to be on his own in 1933.

 

[horse]

There are quite a few trees with varying theories, one has this [referring to a family photo], not checked any of it yet..

"on the back of it has written probably from Fay Leishman Born 21/05/1874 Born 1869 58 yrs Emily May Packer Thomas Hedley Packer Nee Williams Alvina Packer 37yrs Edwards Ellena born 1895 80 Yrs Eliza Williams Born 21/04/1852 Nee Gordon 34yrs remarried 1886 Eliza Edwards Died 1937 85 yrs"

Emily died 1947 so didn't expect him to be on his own in 1933.

If it is the correct one, though I couldn't see another with an Emily

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

I can't see a divorce.

Birth 12858/1874 WILLIAMS EMILY ABRAHAM ELIZA LIVERPOOL ** 21 May

That must be the Eliza nee Gordon who remarried.

 

[horse]

This may be useful, another photo with info on the back suggests he had an elder sister, Edith..

"on the back Edith Duncan Nee Packer Thomas Hedley's eldest sister Husband Olly Photo Possibly around 1925"

[DaveHam9]

Find 10 more siblings. :biggrin:

I can't see a DUNCAN - PACKER marriage in England or NSW.

 

[horse]

Find 10 more siblings. :biggrin:

Good grief

 

[DaveHam9]

I'll catch you in a few hours Geoff. I'll try to do some gardening between showers. Forecast for rain all this week and I have work that needs to be done.
