Hi Graham
that is interesting, with George and Walter in Australia, Colville might have been forced to go with the other family. With mother dead the family was  probably all split up.   Jo

Hi Graham
 I knew Beatrice really well  she lived at the back of West Footscray (AFL) football oval, i remember going there often as we lived in Ballarat.   I have several photos of her with my dads family and her 2nd marriage,  if you want to see them let me know,  Not sure how to post photos yet though.   I did read about the Glenhuntly, i dont understand how Colville and the other children and Sarah Charlotte came over though, as it was only George and Walter on the boat .  I wander how they arrived.  It would have been a terrible trip

Hi Graham
Beatrice has been really hard to find information about, i have 2 stories,
one her mother was Mary Jane Pollard then another said Hollard, DOB 1869 died 24/10/1912 in Campbells Ck Victoria for both names
Ihave they only had i child Beatrice  DOB 9/2/1090 at Wesley Hill, then i have other information saying there were 10 children.
I know Beatrice married Henry Chenery (my g father) about 1920, she divorce Henry and married William Wallis, dont know date yet.  Beatrice died18/5/1983 Melbourne
