A mother for Wilfred Charles EVERITT

[majm]

Also, may I ask for likely year that Thomas told Wilfred    it needs to be prior to Annie's death in May 1933, but would it be AFTER anyone else's death perhaps ....

Have you established WHO was Catherine EVERITT …. NSW BDM have her father as JOHN, and the death registered at Albury in 1900 and NO name for her mum on the online index.

Yes this is the mother of the previously mentioned Mary Ann, Thomas, John, Edward and Luke as well as 5 more Everitt siblings.  Everitt is her married name.  The John mentioned is not John Everitt.

Do you have that NSW BDM dc?

So, may I please ask HOW you can positively confirm who were their parents?

As previously stated there has been 25 years research into the Everitt family.  Not by me personally, by a first cousin once removed.

So you have ruled out any consideration that if Wilfred was John's son, and if John was aware that Wilfred's mum was expecting, that perhaps John had asked Edward and Hannah to take on that lass' baby during the lass' second trimester?

No, I haven't, it's as possible as anything else.  Just unlikely in my opinion.

I understand it was very close to that event.

Although there may be no way to prove this, unsavoury things did happen in those days. One of which was actually purchasing boys for work, thereby relieving the parents of their obligation and providing a ready cheap workforce for the purchaser. Of course this was illegal even then, but it did happen and lots of records could be very easily altered. One did not have to provide proof of identity when notifying a birth or death, just rock up say who you wanted to be and get the record done. This occurred with Births and deaths, only thing was the dad could not be named at a birth if he wasn't at the record office.

The family doesn't seem to be at the very top of the law abiding citizens group and may have been a little loose with the truth and a little to easily swayed to the wrong side of the tracks when it came to upholding the law.

Not passing judgement just being the devils advocate.

And no offence taken on that point.

You are absolutely correct, particularly in reference to Thomas John and Luke junior.    Here's Luke branching out without Thomas this time: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1302&dat=18810604&id=n7hPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=RpMDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6137,4837330

I'm not aware of any reference to Edward in a criminal context, maybe he just didn't get caught.

Maybe we (descendants of Wilfred) are not really Everitts at all.  But truly Everitt or not, there is evidence that Wilfred himself had a crack at the family business:

Couldn't access it earlier, but I have just checked the record of her arrival and her father is listed there as Michael.
