Yes great to hear from a distant relative -
Thank you for that information, I didn't have that article.
I have had a read, sad news.
I actually did find that William and Cora's son is recorded on birth records as William John Nixon Conway born 1847. Appears he was known as John Nixon Conway who made his way to Port Augusta and married Beatrice Tortoise (daughter of John Sutton Tortoise and Emma Stanton Tortoise (nee Mallet). I saw that when something happened in John Nixon Conway's family, birth etc , a note was made to copy to Western Australia Papers, so his mother Cora Matilda Lamb obviously remained in Western Australia with her next husband Edward Newman and their children.
I have found that John Nixon Conway and Beatrice had seven daughters (1 x died at 3 years) and three sons - the sons were my great grandfather Lionel St. Barte Nixon Conway, Norman Roy Corbin Conway, and Maitland Tortoise Crofton Conway.
I always wondered where my father's middle name Maitland came from?
Saw that Crofton's army record reveals his first name as Maitland.
Regards,
Karen
