Hi,
Following on from Essie's post #10
This info from Ancestry.
Sadly I don't have world wide subs at the moment...

port San Francisco
Ship Fred .C. Ainsworth
Destination Davenport.
Port of Departure.Fremantle.
Social Security Index
Dorothy Nance Coder
Birth 11Dec 1924 Perth ,Australia
Parents       Charles E LEITCH Nance A LEITCH
Death date 23 Aug 1988
Also this entry for Maria Ann Coder

Name listed as M A Smith (possible Married name)
Given the birth notice details the marriage cert may give some clues regarding Dorothy's parents.

I wonder if in fact Dorothy's mother had the surname LEITCH and her father really was Charles Edward OLD.

One marriage in the UK for a Charles Edward OLD was in the DEC Q 1906, Beverley  9d / 237
to
BURTON  Ada Jane    Beverley  9d / 237   
or
OLIVER  Jessie     Beverley  9d / 237   


So who was the supposed wife Ann for whom it appears a marriage was not in the UK or WA?
I have previously encountered the name Nancy/Nance  AKA  Ann.

This looks as though this may be Charles Edward OLD in UK, particularly given the names of his sisters which he used for his daughters.

Birth,
Sep qr, 1884, registered at Sculcoates.  Vol 9d, p 191
Charles Edward OLD

1891 at Maurice Ave, Kingston-upon-Hull
Charles R OLD   30, joiner, b Middlesex
Eliza W OLD   28, b Werlsby?, Lincolnshire
Charles E OLD   6, b Hull
Lillian OLD 4, b Hull
Daisy OLD   4/12, b Hull

1901 at 32 Welbeck St, Sculcoates, places of birth, relationships as above, all chn born Hull.
Charles R OLD   40, foreman joiner
Charles E OLD   16, farm labourer
Lilian OLD   14
Daisy OLD   10
Dorothy OLD   4
Rhoda M OLD   3/12

Francis Challans   24

Sadly it would appear that the mother had died earlier in 1901 than the census which was held on the night of 31 March - see below

I don't see Charles Edward in 1911 which fits with his emigration date.

Birth of his mother - occasionally her surname appears as "Long"
1862, Mar qr, registered Caistor, Lincolnshire, Vol 7a, p 573
Eliza Wilkinson LING

Parents' marriage
Mar qr 1884, reg Sculcoates. Vol 9d, p 193

Death of his mother
1901, Mar qr, registered Sculcoates, Vol 9d, p 88
Eliza Wilkinson OLD, 38 (b abt 1863)
