Thanks for your help, Sue. I assume his wife returned to Britain with him. What I don't know is her name, which would help me track down any Welsh-born children to follow Carrie.

You need to delete the name as I have done in my quote.  See my above post re living people, please.

If you have read carefully what I linked above you will understand that the circumstances and dates would have almost certainly make it necessary for the "wife" to return with Billy to England.

There was no mention of any marriage of Billy that I can locate, so the term "wife" may or may not be quite accurate.

Nor can I locate a news item mentioning his actual departure for Britain (alone or otherwise).

Thank you for your hard work, Sue, it's appreciated. Sorry about mentioning his daughter's name, but as she was named in the linked item I assumed it was OK. If I knew the name of the "wife", I could check for a marriage in Britain, but without that there are so many William Thomases that it would be impossible. Is it perhaps available via the daughter's birth registration - or was she not registered in Australia?
