Sorry I just read what I wrote and l'm sorry for all the typos ,I hope  you understood it all.  I am not a big writer.
Michael,its ok-I got the drift of what you were saying.How interesting !
I would welcome any knowledge yr research brings up about when she came to Western Australia and on what ship.Oh ! I said she was divorced in 1926-I meant 1925 and she married the co-respondent,Richard Burke in 1926. The divorce report says Mr. Burke came from Northam which I believe is in Limpopo Sth.Africa.Does that ring a bell ?
Kind regards,

I have never ever seen a photo of Mary Jane Hunt.I wonder if there are similarities with my father's features ? Was she tall ? My father was 6' 2''.
Has your cousin seen any photo of Thomas H. Milward ?

I only had one old very worn pick of Gran and sadly I am not sure its still around I have moved so much but the one of your dad was in much better condition but if its around will take some finding. No ,Mary wasnt tall but Dad and I were very athletic in our times & I am 6'1. I am sure Cathy would have pic's of gran though as she lives in Sydney and was closer by. Dads elder sister Pamela( your dads step sister ) is still alive born 1926 dad was born in 1928. He had a very sucessfull Automobile bussiness called Amercian Auto Sales here in Melbourne.

Hi All

My husband is the great grandson of Mary's sister, Mildred.  Mildred married in Australia in 1916 and later moved to New Zealand.  We know very little about the family aside from that.

If any one has any more information about the move from SA or pictures of Mary I would be very appreciative if you could let me know.

Many thanks
Hana
