Tarzan you have requested information from a public forum where people are kind enough to search for information for you.  It would help all of us if you would please give ALL the information from certificates that you mention.  It takes time to research and much of it is done from resources many of us have purchased and from subscription based websites to which we pay quite hefty subs.

Family stories are invaluable to research but unfortunately many aspects of the tales are often proven to be inaccurate.

Pardon me. Where married Hamilton Victoria. at what age 22 .and to whom James Hustler

Perhaps this response to Sue's query for clarification of information could have been worded a little differently.

All six children are named on his Death Certificate.Weird thing is to Whom Married and someone has put Hamilton Victoria aged 22

To whom James Hustler so we searched and found nothing to prove or work this out. As should have shown  Frances name.
Authorised Informant was the Agent John Dennis Keady  not family member
Tarzan

So are there now possibly three places for the marriage of James Henry PATRICK to Frances Beatrice WHITTICOMBE?

The Agent would be the funeral director or a member of the firm's staff, however someone from the family would have had to give the director information.

James HUSTLER is a male name so it does seem quite odd that James Patrick CLARKE should be married to a female of this name.  If you are having difficulty in deciphering any writing on certificates you are permitted to post a snip of the area of the cert and perhaps we can help you.  Posting of full certificates is not permitted.

I have a question that's not directly involving Frances, but do you know much about your uncle Lindsay Clarke?  Details after January 1944?
AussiegalRae

Linsday and Myrtle CLARKE were living at Korumburra on the electoral rolls 1949 and 1954.

There are a number of Lindsay Gordon CLARKE deaths - all with parents named with this exception however the age indicates a birth in 1884 and your Lindsay was born 1891.  Perhaps someone gave incorrect information.
CLARKE Lindsay Gordon
Parents unknown
At Fitzroy  79 years  1960  Reg#8951

and hers
CLARKE Myrtle Annie
Father Craythorn John  Mother Ellen  FLAVELL
At Bundoora  76 years   1972  Reg#20233

and the death a daughter
CLARKE Reata Alice
Father Lindsay Gordon  Mother Myrtle Annie  CRAYTHORNE
At Korumburra  20 years  1951  Reg#18998

If you wish to ask questions directly to your relative and don't wish to involve or receive help from other forum members, you could do this by personal message - PM's.

Hi Raelene
Perhaps you and Tarzan will use the PM option now for aspects of your inquiries which are of a more personal and 'chatty' nature.

In the meantime, if document details can actually be furnished, there is a chance that information may come to light.

As Cando has implied, Family History Research is a two-way exchange requiring as much factual detail as possible to establish the likely pathways!

Ancestors are tricky people ;D

Thank you  for all the help,it is appreciated. Information is clear on the certificates,but very confusing to research as the name being male on that certificate for "To whom married" is  very odd. I was apologising for not being clear Sue.   Seems Clarke,Whittaker and Hustler appear in connection to Frances Whitticombe. Possibly due to misinformation being given ,as nothing can be found to prove as yet.

OK Tarzan,

It sounds as if you are not seeking any further assistance with this.


I'm sure others are with me when I wish you every  luck in your future searches.

Looks like have found her,as a young woman in Melbourne.1881
Father Henry ( ? not  William) who was a shopkeeper in Adelaide South Australia.  Spelling varies although her signature is Whiticombe on a Birth of a child she had 1881. This child not known to us.
Her age was also out by a few years also. Father from Devon UK. Taken all these years of searching to finally get a break through a Child put into Care. Thanks to all who helped. Records used various spellings also.
