drownings in the thames

[PatLac]

Darian,

Can you think of who these Tyrees might be? I had a look at the family tree on FS and I couldn't find a better option for Mr. Tyree, Mrs. Tyree, and Miss Tyree, than William Tyree Jn, his wife Mary Ann nee Cross, and Polly! As I understand it, they moved from NZ to Sydney in 1898 (change of address from NZ to Sydney seen on patent files).

I think the 2 Misses Tyree in this newspaper article could be Kate and Polly, one week after their father's death, going to Nelson.
