In case you don't have these :
Death of her mother in 1913 in Albany
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article70108583
And of her father in 1915 in Albany
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article70118972
and a nice obit to her father
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article70118978

It doesn't mention Beatrice unfortunately but places the parents in Albany until their death 1913-1915

regards,

Do ask for help with SA bdm's....many of us have resources.  I have found the online records to be incomplete.

BRISTOW Beatrice Louisa
21 Aug 1881
Father George BRISTOW    Mother Elizabeth OATES
At Port Adelaide   PtA 266/12

This is possible Beatrice Louisa Adelaide BRISTOW with her sister Winifred Victoria BRISTOW who married Reginald Percy NORTON and subsequently was divorced.

thank you all for your hard work in searching
cando your post on her sisters marriage makes her still alive and living in albany in 1911 at the age of 30 i also didnt have the details of her christening so that is an added bonus
 :P
poor george hey getting fined for not sending his kids to school the amounted days
 the fact that they all went to war eventually some of them to both wars didnt count i guess
thankfully they all came back :)

thank you so much ennael seems to fit in with the time frame as most of the children of george bristow did not marry until after his death in 1915 and with her brothers all away at the war sounds a possibility and the fact that her younger sister was living in this area also
i couldnt read the home address in his war records i think it looks like 4 nash street perth ? wondering if they had any children  would make my life a whole lot easier if they also had a tree
thank you again i will keep on looking i really think this may be her

John was 24 years in 1916, born SA.  Only birth that 'matches'.  He is John Albert on his marriage registration and electoral rolls however her is Albert John on his attestation papers.  There is no birth for an Albert PHELPS in SA c1884.

PHELPS John
17 Jan 1884
Father Philip PHELPS  Mother Elizabeth MOUNTSTEPHEN
At Templers   Bar 319/70

Australian Electoral Roll
1916
PHELPS Annie Louise 196 McDonald Street, Kalgoorlie  HD  [original address in John's attestation papers]
and at the same address
PHELPS Oscar William, 196 McDonald Street, Kalgoorlie  Jockey

No enrolments until.....

1931
PHELPS Annie Louise 191 Newcastle Street, North Perth  HD
PHELPS John Albert  191 Newcastle Street, North Perth  Motor driver

1936, 1937, 1943, 1949, 1954
PHELPS Annie Louise 234 Stirling Street, North Perth  HD
PHELPS John Albert  234 Stirling Street, North Perth  Motor Driver

1958
PHELPS Annie Louise 194 Stirling Street, North Perth HD
PHELPS John Albert  194 Stirling Street, North Perth  Motor driver

1963
PHELPS John Albert  194 Stirling Street, North Perth  Motor driver
1968
PHELPS John Albert 238 Beaufort Road, Perth  No occupation

Buried at the same location as Beatrice Louise - his age may not be correct - different to year of birth at WW1 enlistment
http://www2.mcb.wa.gov.au/NameSearch/details.php?id=KB00142840

You have their dates of death from the cemetery records and perhaps their death notices may be helpful.  I suggest you ask the State Library of WA for copies of notices if available.

Of course their 1915 marriage cert would list names of the bride and groom's parents but certs are quite expensive in WA.

Cheers :)

I have made an error with John Albert's birth.  I wondered if Oscar William PHELPS who was on the electoral roll at the same address as Beatrice Louise at Kalgoorlie in 1916, may have been a brother.  John Albert was not born in South Australia and his year of birth was 1892 which ties in with the information on his attestation papers and his age at death on the burial record.  Misled by his statement he was born in Adelaide.  Sorry about the incorrect information.  He was considerably younger than Beatrice Louise Adelaide/Annie ::)

Births in Victoira

PHELPS John Albert
Father William  Mother Elizabeth WHEATCROFT
At Wirrumbirchip 1892  Reg#9105

PHELPS Oscar William
Father William  Mother Elizabeth WHEATCROFT
At Wirrumbirchip  1894  Reg#7995

PHELPS Arthur Frank
Father William  Mother Elizabeth WHEATCROFT
At Wirrumbirchip  1896  Reg#24471

Wirrumbirchip was the former name of Birchip.

Marriage in South Australia
PHELPS William 21 years  Status Single    Father John PHELPS
WHEATCROFT Elizabeth 22 years  Status Single   Father John WHEATCROFT
17 Mar 1886
At the residence of J Wheatcroft, Cunningham   Dal 1096/146

Births in South Australia and none of them in Adelaide. Can't always believe information on documents ::)

PHELPS Amelia Adelia
22 Aug 1890
Father William PHELPS  Mother Elizabeth WHEATCROFT
At Dowlingville  Dal465/342
 
PHELPS Hurtle Henwood
2 Feb 1889
Father William PHELPS  Mother Elizabeth WHEATCROFT
At  Dowlingville    Dal 433/91

PHELPS Walter Henry
31 Jan 1887
Father William PHELPS  Mother Elizabeth WHEATCROFT
At Price   Dal 389/281


Death
PHELPS Albert John 
Father William  Mother Elizabeth
At Perth    1971   79 years  Reg#3019/71

Either Beatrice's or Albert's death certificate would detail children, if any.

I noticed a William and Elizabeth PHELPS on the 1906 electoral roll at East Coolgardie.  He was a blacksmith.  There is a death reg for an Elizabeth PHELPS in 1911.
