However, you would have to get the marriage certificate to get details like parents etc to be sure.
Do you know what details are contained on most Victorian marriage certificates?
If not, check it out at

Hi again,
My Uncle seems to think that Florences fathers name was Thomas Reynolds
William ernest fathers name was William Owen and Willim Ernests grandmothers name was Sarah Hudson. I don't know how he got this info, but maybe it will help. I thought that maybe the Grandmothers name was Sarah Icke but I'm only guessing from info I found on the net.
Thanks, Renae

I've been searching for Florence Louisa's death, as that should give her parents ' names, but I can't find it in Victoria. I've even searched just using Flo* and Reynolds in father's name in case she married twice, and absolutely nothing.
Could she have died elsewhere?

Going by the information on the marriage details it says William Owen's place of birth was England.

Thanks once again for the quick relpy. Is there any chance we can go back further than this. We thought the Owens might be from Wales? But I think we have the right line with Sarah Hudson

Hi Renae,
I am trying to trace down this side of the family tree and would love to get in contact with you to exchange notes.
I have found a few leads regarding Thomas James Reynolds & Lucy Elizabeth Roberts/Smith (Florence's parents), I hope you are still around and manage to get in contact!
Cheers

Hi YS,
I haven't been able to get anywhere further with Florences ancestry. I hit a brick wall and lost interest at the time.
Here is an extract of some information from our family tree. Seems when Flo left William & family she went to Merryland Rd Merryland N.S.W. She wrote to the army to get a replacement for a badge that showed she had 2 boys in the army ( cost her about (2/6) .
She had several addresses after leaving her family behind at 102 Barkly St West Brunswick. She is shown as next of kin to both Percy Thomas Owen KIA Gallipoli 1915 and Thomas Hudson Owen KIA Bullecort France 1917, with addresses at 515 Park St. Park Hill NSW and 291 Merrylands Rd., Merrylands, NSW where she was in receipt of pensions for them both. She also had sons Walter & Alfred in service in the WW2.
I would love to know more about where her parents come from and any other info you have.
Cheers,
Renae
