William Henry Oakley died in Middlesex in October 1896. Three children emigrated around 1897 or 8 the eldest David (1869) and the youngest Harriett Elizabeth (1883) ended up in Kalgoorlie by 1899. The middle sibling Phillip John (1873) married in NZ in 1902 to Alice Dormer.
We think all three siblings went to NZ first and then the oldest and youngest went to Fremantle.
However we have found no trace of the three in the travel records from Aus, NZ or UK scources.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

"..David (1869) and the youngest Harriett Elizabeth (1883) ended up in Kalgoorlie by 1899...."
Where do you see them in Western Australia at 1899?
Western Australia seems like a long way from New Zealand.
-
You may have to consider purchasing a death printout for:
1959/27599 Oakley Philip John 91Y
[Although if the correct person, the age does not fit.]
Here is what you can expect to find on such a document:
https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/dataCollected/death
However you should keep in mind that the information is only as reliable as the knowledge of the person providing the details. :)

Wivenhoe, he married in 1900:
Oakley David to Davies Elizabeth Jane 564 1900
A birth in 1901: Oakley Eric Henri parents David and Davies Elizabeth Jane Kanowna 1694 1901
I have found others, in the past, who travelled NZ to WA for mining work/ gold fields.

Yes, I wondered about that, also, Minniehaha.
There is the arrival to NZ, on PaperPast, 1884, of a David, Philip and Ellen. So, I wonder how the OP has linked NZ Phillip John to the AU pair.

David, 1899, 4th column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article201930368
William Henry Oakley died in Middlesex in October 1896.
I assume the assumption here is that David left after his father’s death. His father died in October and David is in WA by 21 October 1896. Therefore, I’d suggest that they came to Australia first, or, they left UK prior to their father’s death.

Seems to be numerous trees for the Oakley family, some have Phillip John as being born 1873 others have 1869, but they do have 1959 for the death.

GRO indexes gives her mmn SHORT and she died age 20 in 1903
Could it be the date she was given the bible ???
Does it specifically say that is her date of birth or is it just a date written next to her name?
-
1871 Census reads Henriette - don't you think?
I read it as HARRIETT E Oakley
It says Harriett E.
You’ll need to purchase the 1948 WA death cert to confirm Harriett’s age and that you have the correct family.

Good morning everyone.
Harriet's death notice by David Oakley, attached, says that she is his sister. But if her birth date was 1883 was she the daughter of Henry W Oakley and Annie Ruhabina Oakley? Buried in same plot see below. When did they get married?
Its seems likely that Harriet Elizabeth was not the sister of Ellen, David and Phillip.
First picture is of David Oakley before he left for Coolgardie 1899.
And the last picture in the set was it seems taken by the same photographer but at a later date, how old is the girl?
Tarella
-
OK I surrender Harriet was born in 1866 and was 82 when she died. Which is quite feasible.
But I am still curious about Annie Ruhabina Oakley.

Curious about?
She is Henry’s wife.
I have been looking at the middle name and have come across only one instance of it in the area.
There is a marriage of a Mary Ann Rechabina Tankard in VIC, 1860. Her folks were John TANKARD and Jane CARMEAL.
Could there be a connection?
Henry’s marriage cert is needed.

Hi Jam Jar,
Forgive me but where do I get the marriage Cert?

My I summarize what I know and don't know.
The following Oakleys arrived in Wellington as follows:
Henry William arrived on LaHogue 26th May 1874 age 19 married Annie Ruhabina Mullerd 29 March 1877 - ?no children
Ellen arrived Victory May 1884 age 24 with David (one of an identical twin) 15 and Phillip 11.
Harriet Elizabeth arrived on Aorangi 14 Nov 1889 age 23.
Ellen married Alfred Elias Barrow Hitchmough 1886 8th June. Alfred died suddenly June 1898 many newspaper articles. Ellen sells house and goods 89 Austin St newspaper report 23 Feb 1899 as leaving Wellington - no children according to newspapers. NO FURTHER TRACE - although other lady of same name appears in press.
David leaves Wellington Feb 18, 1899; Harriet leaves 21 March 1900 - both end up in Kanowna, WA.
Phillip marries Alice Mary Dormer in January 1902 - 6 children - all still in NZ.
OPEN Query - where did Mrs Ellen Hitchmough get to - assuming she is NOT the drunk widely reported in Wellington at that time.

Sorry, I have not read all the threads but this marriage from reply #42.......

Re Minniehaha post #42
If I have the reference to the wedding you identified it has now been pointed out that William Andrew Hill was not born in 1893 - I am not sure where that date came from.
