My Great Aunt Eliza Jane Snape immigrated to Western Australia from London or Wolverhampton England in about 1895, as a domestic Servant. She married William Christie in Freemantle in 1896. She was the eldest daughter of John and Ellen Snape and was born in Wolverhampton in 1874. She may have had children. Any help would be appreciated
