Fanny WELLS. Family history missing for biracial great grandmother, Australia

[Neil Todd]

This might be throwing the cat amongst the pigeons, but there is this in NZ
Ada Lillian TURNER Married Arthur Wallace WELLS in 1904/3941

 

Neil   

Modified, Nah forget above she died NZ 1968 and he 1970   

[majm]

Aged 26 in 1910....and stating she had married 12 April 1906, Carlton Victoria.    So, can we find her in Victoria on any electoral roll?  You needed to be aged 21 to enrol.    1910 - 26 = born abt 1884.  So, she should be on an electoral roll for Vic in 1905 as TURNER  and 1906 as WELLS.   

And, what significant event in Fanny's life happened on 12 April, in any year up to 1910....   

Cheers,  JM.

Yes Sue seems like right one.

Maybe a check on the marriages is worth a try on above

So this could be a lead as the certificate that I posted was on this street and same area.

Also if I thought with further digging that that birth certificate was her I will definitely order it.

It states that Henry Alfred Wells the father of our grandfather was born in auckland, so If he was in actual fact in Victoria then he wouldn't be eligible as a kiwi to be  on the Australian Electoral roll would he.

[majm]

He was a British Subject.   

There was no such thing as separate Australian Citizenship until 1949.   I think you will find same for NZ.   So, there's plenty of persons on the 1903 roll who were born 'overseas' as the British Empire was extensive and many had settled in Australia, even those born in NZ were found settling in Australia and vice versa.
 

Cheers,  JM (Edit to explain a tad further).
