In case you haven't seen it, this appears to be Janet's birth in Victoria:
Janet Rae GOOD (5232 / 1864) parents - Robert GOOD and Mary Ann (MURRAY) at "SMYT" - this is either Smythes Creek or Smythesdale.

Modified to add: I see Robert GOOD mentioned in a list of electors for Smythesdale in 1864
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article66345591

Robert GOOD married Mariane MURRAY in Victoria 1861 (3963 / 1861)

There is a 10 year old Janet Good moving on ship to NZ with father and siblings:

I wonder if Violet was born out of wedlock.

Maybe your enquiry should be on the NZ board, Paul.

Added: It is the Janet Rae family.

The mother’s death, in Victoria:

1874 6332/1874 GOOD Mary Ann parents Elizabeth PILLNE and William MURRAY at CARL spouse GOOD, Robert aged 35

Find the family in NZ and you may find Janet.

The son Robert died as Robert Ray Good, back in Victoria, in 1941.

GOOD Janet Ray to COX, Geo Ernt 4947/1892

Death:

1939 14460/1939 COX Janet Ray mother Annie father GOOD Robert Place of birth SCARSDALE place of death BURWOOD aged 77

Robert Ray is buried with Janet Ray’s 15 year old son, George Ray, at Burwood Cemetery.

Paul, look bottom right and click on ‘Report to moderator’. Ask them to move the thread to NZ board.

Janet Ray is buried with her husband at Burwood.

I don’t know how you can prove a connection with this Janet and Violet.

Her brother Alexander died in WA, 1st column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article197259346

413 1902  Good Alexander aged 38 parents Robert and Murray Mary Ann Smythesdale Vic

I think her brother William Murray, who married Martha McCormack, in VIC 1895, also died in WA as per death notice. However, his military record has him younger than he should have been:

This is a tricky one Paul so we might have to 'go all around the houses' to try and find the information you are seeking.

Violet's marriage, which you have:

1904/55   Violet   White   Christopher   Wright

Violet's children:

1905/18587   Wright   Gladys Huia   Violet   Christopher      
1904/10171   Wright   Victor Joseph   Violet   Christopher      
1908/6028   Wright   Hinemoa   Violet   Christopher

WW1 file of her husband: [At that time Violet was living in Wellington]

Yes, Paul, I too wonder if the family who sailed from Victoria went to family in NZ, as it was not long after Robert’s wife died.

Also, in one of the death notices for a child of Robert, it said NZ papers please copy:

now in 1891 to1896 violet white was at newtown school wellington new zealand .but i can not fine who she was living with like mother and father.

Just to let Rootschatters know, that the above information was most likely from School Inspector Returns - year of examinations were sat.  They don't list the parents names as School Records do. I am not sure if the records held at Wellington Archives will hold more information.

Cheers
