Strange that you question Clara Ellen's name because on her marriage it is Southwell but her father's name is Henry Pitches, but I don't know the Manning name at all.

Dee, I have just noticed that they were married at the residence of a Daniel Manning in Rosewater.

Are the other births also at Rosewater?

It must be them

i just checked the marriages, and there is no marriage of a Benjamin Godfrey to a Clara Ellen Manning!

It just seems a remarkable coincidence of names......

There are 5 marriages of Godfrey girls between 1905 and 1914 with father Benjamin, and three are held at the residence of Benjamin Godfrey, Rosewater, and two are held at the residence of  Rev. M.L. Murphy, Alberton.

Now that is another strange coincidence......I'll check the next disk.......and check on your query too......

No more marriages that I could see to 1937.....couldn't find marriages for either of the sons.....shall check the deaths.......

The births to Benjamin Godfrey and Clara Ellen Manning were all at Rosewater!!!!     ???

Don't know what sort of a puzzle we've started here, Geejay....but I checked to see if there were any births to a Daniel Manning......and guess what......he had 11 children between 1866 and 1891 and his wife was Martha Southwell.....
but no Clara Ellen among them......

It is never plain sailing is it  :o

Clara might have been born to Martha when unmarried perhaps.......Henry Pitches, the father? 

Looks like those births under Manning are the right ones.

Just saw your reply, would there be any birth for a Clara Ellen Pitches?

No....already checked that, Geejay.....but problem solved……

Clara Ellen SOUTHWELL born 31 Aug 1861 at Hindmarsh Valley
Ref: EnB  23/157


And guess who the mother was…….Martha SOUTHWELL   and no father given…….

So obviously the Pitches bloke was Clara Ellen’s biological father and Daniel Manning her step father.

Oh oh…..looks like you’ll want the rest of the children…….  ;D  ;D  ;D
