Jessie Agnes Lillian 1888, Norman Austin Howatt 1890 and henrietta Marian 1894. So must have some decendants?

Probably not too hard to track some of Grandchildren down. Notice in TROVE newspapers 10/May/1926 referring to the death of above Robert Alexander 10/May/1924 Lots of names of SIL's and daughters.
