A mother for Wilfred Charles EVERITT

[Seaton Smithy]

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/MZ3S-9NC

The above link is for a SUBMITTED tree, which at present has Hannah (nee EVANS) as born 1876, and also as the Mum of an Unnamed EVERITT born 1880    Obviously a very creative mind submitted that info, and I haven't bothered to check TROVE to see if there was any mention of a FOUR year old lass giving birth .... 

Not Hannah, but Harriet, and of course Harriet did have an unnamed birth (and death) in 1880. What they appear to have done here is attribute the wrong husband to Harriet (Edward instead of Thomas).

I agree, the dates are somewhat amiss, but then I could show you several trees that have one of my g-g-grandfathers born 4 years before his own father!

I know this person, I'll let them know.

May I please ask if you have accessed the deceased estate files at NSW State Records.....  If so, for which family members .....

From NZW Police Gazette, 21 April 1880

May I ask “who was Julia CASEY”

John EVERETT, charged with Indecent assault on Julia Casey Albury Circuit Court 10 April 1880 …. He was remanded at that time to the next circuit court. 

http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/108733839 Evening News 12 April 1880  (others with surname CASEY mentioned in that cutting)

Some further info re Julia Casey .... an "old woman", John Everett found not guilty in October 1880

http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/70948688  Australian Town and Country Journal 16 Oct 1880

Now, may I ask (rhetorically) Did Julia Casey have any daughters ?

ADDING, and remembering he was apparently on remand from April to Oct 1880  and Wilfred born May or June 1881 

FURTHER ADDING Agh .... found where Bail was allowed  phew ...

NSW Police Gazette 21 April 1880
Howlong, John Joseph EVERETT, summoned for indecently assaulting Julia Casey has been committed for trial at Albury C.C.  Bail allowed. 

Cheers,  JM

The same case mentioned earlier in this thread.

The reference you found to her being an old woman may be a corruption from this article where it is reported the court considered her mature age precluded her from taking action on the basis that consent was obtained by fraud.

Old enough to know better, perhaps?

Yes, but .... did she have any daughters .... perhaps candidates for Wilfred's Mum

Have been following this thread with interest as I too have Everitt ancestors - however the Christian names are different so it's possible that that they are no relation.

I'm not sure how to copy and post quotes from earlier in the thread so I will just comment.

1. I would get a transcript of the birth of Wilfred, to Wilfred and Adeline as there is a lot of coincidence. Even it it just serves to eliminate this one.

2. Even though back then the father's family usually wouldn't take in an unwanted child - they may have been pressured by the mother to do so as no-one else was available. Some people do love children enough that they won't turn away a baby or cute young child.

3. Back to one of the earlier posts on this thread - perhaps John was beaten up by the family (husband) of Julia Casey - after all he was acquitted of raping her.

Certainly an interesting lead worth pursuing - I can't seem to find that record in a search on the SRA site for some reason.

I'm inclined to think this is more likely than the other theory.
