Title: Trying to find Eliza Jane Snape
Post by: petwal on Thursday 13 January 22 06:25 GMT (UK)
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

I have not checked this out as yet but there is a tree on ancestry - without sources - that says she had three husbands with children to all of them.
William Christie, no dates.
Daughter Ellen Alma Christie born 12 November 1899 Perth death unknown
second husband Albert Asplin, no dates for him. Children  Alberta Ruth Asplin born 1904 York Western Australia, death 1905
Florence Ettie Asplinborn 4 April 1906 York died 1985 Perth
third husband Albert Joseph Davis born Wilunga South Australia died 25 November 1915 Gnowangerup Western Aiustralia
children - Arthur Norman Davis born 19 November 1907 Kattaning WA, death 19 October 1974
David Albert Davis born 12 April 1910 Albany Western Aus died 11 March 1992 Nedlands WA
Herbert Melville Davis born 20 March 1915 Albany WA Died 27 October 1948  Wagga Wagga, NSW

Eliza Jane Snape died 10 March 1933  Gnowangarup WA

As I said I have not checked any of this informtion and there are no sources given on the public tree.
