Thank you to everyone. You are so professional, beats my sumising.
I can only imagine that after Blanche died Edward and his wife took on his younger half brothers and sisters or some of them at least which is how they came to be in WA. Daisy was only 17 when she married in Perth so this fits.
I will now look for how Sydney went to NSW and maybe his marriage as we know he is buried in Hamilton.
The name Elgin - there is an Elgin Road in Beechworth and the Nicholls decendants certainly live there.
Neither Blanche nor her son Edward were related to me but the four children she bore became my G Grandfathers half brothers and sisters . It is amazing how intrigued I am by her and what became of her children after she died.

I don't know all the family history - yet- but I'll help you with anything I have.

Hi Milly, I am new to this site, still getting lost.  I was in Barra a few weeks ago trying to find out about McNeil, the Heritage centre was not very helpful, I was only there for 2 days, a hurricane was blowing everything shut, I did find a grave with a John McNeil and Mary McNeil he was about 28yrs, death by drowning.  My family are predominantly John & Matthew McNeils, maybe I had relatives that went to Aus'. If I can be of any help, don't hesitate. Johns grave was beside that of the author of 'Whisky Galore'.  Good luck  from John McNeil.

This site is a pain - if you try to answer someone it makes you log in, then it takes you far away - it has taken me 20 minutes to find my way back.

It is not often I see people chatting about my grandmother and great grandparents, usually I am chatting about theirs. You can see the full family tree of the COADEs and PEMBERTONs up on worldconnect, database "dorothyhewett", where it has been for five years. It has most of this information, plus a lot more. I thought the "Elgin" came from the British composer, but perhaps not.

 The full story of Blanche Nicholls, Edward Coade, Mary Tindale and their rise from rags to riches appears in my forthcoming book "Unravelling  the CODE: The Coads and Coodes of Cornwall and Devon".

Louise I have had a chance to talk to my aunt and they didnt take in the Pemberton children. I have a couple of pictures of Daisy Pemberton as a young woman in crowd scenes - seems she was friendly with the Tindales. I have been told Daisy is up the back with the "split enz" hair. Rene looks about 7 so it must be around 1903
