Hello
Margaret Florence is my Grand mother. Her daughter Eunice is  my mother. I have just started looking into the family now. I wish I had seen your posts first.
She lived with my Uncle Roy before she died and unfortunately he has passed away, as have all her children so no one to ask.
I hope one of us finds something about her

Hi Mandy
I’m not sure whether I can help. My great grand mother Frances Martha Ward was born to Sarah Elizabeth Ward in Walgett in 1885.  Sarah was born in 1866 in Winchester UK. Sarah had 3 other children Adelaide 1886, William 1887 and Eva 1889.  On William’s birth certificate his father is listed as William Mantle who was a boundary rider on Oreel Station near Narrabri. No father is listed on the birth certificates for Martha or Eva. I can’t find a birth certificate for Adelaide. The children were placed into care in 1890 by their father William (Ed) Mantle and their mother is listed as dead. I have not been able to find a death certificate for Sarah.
Sarah’s parents are Joseph and Patience Ward. I have proved my connection to this family through a DNA test
