Hi

Thank you, been in the hot sun today.
Did Mary have any children to her first husband ? maybe a daughter who married the Waterhouse.

hi Muss 
 
   Elsewhere in the confusing(!) war record it said that Mrs H Waterhouse was the eldest sister of John, so I did look for a Regan-Waterhouse marriage.

  I have been unable to find a Regan-Waterhouse marriage or a Bull-Waterhouse marriage in NSW.  The closest I could find was a marriage for an Alma Brown to a Harry Waterhouse in 1909 but could not find Alma Bull marrying a Brown.

  Perhaps it is too hot to think or search 

 adding :  Of course from your find we now know that Regan was Mary's maiden name and not her first-married name so ....    Well she may have married William Gainer except I can't find a death for him prior to her remarriage .  Will check other possibilities

regards,
   Ros

Adding : There is a death of a Harry Waterhouse in Newcastle in 1948 who is dear husband of Alice  http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article18070852  ... a possiblity for Mrs H Waterhouse ..?

Hi

As posted by Dundee Mary was a widow  ( or has the sun messed my brain)

Yes Muss but if Catherine Regan was her mother (from your find ) then her first-married name was probably different (not necessarily I suppose). 
Or I guess Catherine Regan could have been her mother-in-law, not her mother, although article didn't say that.
Or perhaps Mary said she was a widow as she had a child ...?

Yes I think the sun is befuddling my brain too. 

Incidentally I reread John F Bull's war record and found that he died in Fremantle WA and amended my earlier post about the 2 funeral notices and added WA BDM death index.  How sad that he returned to Australia but didn't get back to his family in NSW.

cheers,
   Ros

Thank you all for searching and helping with Frederick Bull. I shall study all the answers. You were correctin finding Frederick born in Gravesend kent and his father Isaac Bull did come from Rotherhithe so its all looking good.
Many thanks for your help

Cheers!
Prue.

This may be Mary Anne's death notice in 1926

http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article16296617

JONES.-June 3, at her résidence, 85 Grafton Street, Woollahra,  Mary Anne Jones, dearly loved mother of
Laura (Mrs. W. Farthing), Alma (Mrs. H. Waterhouse) and Alice (Mrs. C. Foster), aged 77 years.

There are a few gaps to fill in .... 

It is Laura BROWN who married William R Farthing 1915
and Alma BROWN who married Harry Waterhouse in 1909
And  Alice M  Bull who married Charles Foster in 1912
I haven't found a remarriage for Mary Ann Bull/Brown to a Jones ...
