Hello Cceng,
If you have any information on the Strenzel family, I would appreciate seeing anything you have on the family. My grandmother Daisy Strenzel would never speak about her family. I know nothing of her life - good bad or otherwise. I have no photos of Ma as a younger woman and only a few of her and Pa Hannant. I have no knowledge beyond what my Dad remembered.

I have dates etc but no story to go with the people.
Cheers
Janice

Hello everyone, I posted all the names above as I thought that if anyone was in any doubt, they might have family that are connected with more than one name. By listing them all, I covered most possibilities of links between the 'wheelie' long list of names. I am sure that if anyone has a link with any of the names and they contact me, I will be able to sort what is relevant and what might not be relevant. I have been juggling about 20 families trees for many years.

I have seen the posts relating to the Spokes and Holborow / Coleman families. Thanks.

BillyBlue - I think there was a line of Hillards who moved to Queensland. They are not my direct line, but I do remember something about some Hillards who moved from New South Wales to Qld. 
Thanks for the information. I have saved it and should I find a connection, I can add the details you posted. Cheers.

Wivenhoe - They are related to my husbands family. Wrex and Marj are his parents.
George and Mary Hillard are related, but not on my husbands direct line. Colemans are connected through the marriage of Richard Holborow and Clara Coleman / Teague. Clara was born Coleman, but took the name of her stepfather after the marriage of her mother Sophia Coleman to Robert Teague. If you see the link posted about Spokes - Holborow you will see the link between Colemans, Spokes and Holborows.
Thanks to everyone for your comments.
Mrs Wheelie.

Through marriage, I am connected with these family names. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who might have information relating to them. The lived in the Kempsey, Smithtown, Frederickton, Macksville and surrounding areas.
Thanks

These are families I am connected to. They are all Queensland based mostly. Some generations moved to New South Wales for a time. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has a connection to these names. Very early on these names were common in the Brisbane Valley, Laidley, Gatton and surrounding areas and later Kingaroy, Murgon, Goomeri, Wondai and surrounding areas.
Thanks

Thanks Yonks,
Without knowing exactly what text went with the photo, it would probably mean going through every paper covering a number of years. Right now, I think I can spend my time on more meaningful research.
Cheers

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

I have searched on Trove, Ancestry, IGI, Google, National Archives, pretty much anywhere I could think of.

Yonks is Perth Battye Library similar to Trove? I wasn’t meaning that there wouldn’t / couldn’t be a reference found of Florence in the WA source. So Battye library has copies of newspapers from all over Australia as well. I will keep that in mind. Are they online or do you have to go to the library?

Treetotal – her name is Florence Davey. She was probably born about 1918. That is a best guess. I have searched using her name, nick name, and variations. However, it is believed that the title or text with the photo ( I don’t have the text) was something like 'Visitors enjoy the outing'. I have searched for variations of this text – no luck. I don’t know if she is alive. I don’t know if she married. Details about her are very sketchy. Since her siblings were born in Queensland, I believe she was also born in Queensland.

Florence is one of life’s mysteries. I will put her on the backburner for now.
Cheers

Thanks Yonks,
This is a Queensland person. I don't think it would be in a West Australian paper. But I just don't know. I will keep looking and if I come across an original that will be good. If not, that's they way things are sometimes.
Cheers

Thanks japeflakes. It is a very degraded image. There is too much shading and not enough detail. I think the original newspaper article must have been in poor condition to begin with.
