Thank you for all the effort you have put in on this :) :) :) :).  The Wilcox Louisa M I am pretty sure is the sister of Henry as she is mentioned in Henry's mums death notice 13/6/1900, also the late residence of Louisa Jemima (Henry's mum) is 146 Bullanaming St, Thomas is also a brother.  In 1876-1888 there is a John Wilcox,Wilcocks first a glazier then painter living in Bullanaming St, maybe Henry's father.  Thank you, without your help I wouldn't have found  out anything about Henry, and it could be that birth certificate as on Hannah's death certificate they have the father as William.  I will let you know how I go.  The Harry Wilcocks, painter that you found in the Sands.
1885 Sands - Harry WILCOCKS, painter, 29 Alfred Terrace, Wilson St, Redfern could be Henry as in 1886-1888 they have a WILCOX, Henry, painter, 29 Little Wilson St, Redfern.  So if it is, I am assuming that he was there when Hannah was born.  I see where the Doyle on the wedding certificate could come in looking at what you have printed Hannah could have grown up with the son/brother of Michael Doyle as they lived on the same street and one of Hannah's witnesses is Doyle.

Thanks, definitely not my Jane Harrison.   The witnesses were J.E. Doyle and Ruby Coombes.  Usual occupation of Hannah Domestic Duties.  Usual place of residence. Waverley (Sydney).  Birth place Golden Grove.  Spinster aged 20.  Father Henry Willcox, Painter. Mother Jane Harrison, deceased.  Married 17th August,1907 at St Josephs Church, Camperdown.

 At the time of Hannah's birth I have Henry Wilcox, painter, residing at Little Wilson St Redfern and his family living at Bullanaming St Redfern, in 1934 renamed Renwick St. His family still in Bullanaming St in1897. Henry's mother died in 1900 in Bullanaming St.  Possible birth date for Hannah is 26/1/1888 but not confirmed.

It has only been passed down verbally that she worked in the household.  Don't have anything on her except her name and that she was deceased when Hannah married in 1907.  There have been a few Jane Harrison coming into Australia, but can't confirm any with so little information .  I have found some on the English census but with so little information it is just guess work. Interestingly there is a Jane Harrison that shows up on NSW Registers for the Randwick Asylum for destitute children but I can't access the record, thought it might have something to do with Hannah.  Thanks

Thanks Muss & Cando.  :) I had found Lousia 's death but hadn't found the notice in Trove so that will give me more to go on.  Should keep me busy for a while.

Thanks for all your help everyone I really appreciate the input.  I will consider sending for the death certificate.  I don't think the two families new of each other, we didn't even know Hannah had a brother so interesting.

Yes, I had thought of that but was thinking his second wife was after Jane.  I have tried to follow up on his sister to see if that lead anywhere, I think I have found her birth,marriage and death.  Jack doesn't show up, but he could be John, and I have tried the other two children but nothing.  The death certificate for Hannah in 1962 is our Hannah I haven't sent away for it as it has the father as William and mother unknown so I don't think it is going to be much help, if they didn't know her father was Henry.  Maybe something will come up with the registry for minors.

Thank you, I have seen that one and am pretty certain that it is his.

Thanks I will keep trying.  I am assuming she lived around Sydney as her daughter was 20 when she married in 1907, mother deceased, and her husbands family lived around there.  Have checked the Sands directory and in 1884, Willcox Henry, painter lived at Waterloo, but still can't find anything on Jane Harrison.

The little information that we have on Jane has been handed down word of mouth apparently there was a bible that was lost.  Thanks.
