In light of the information about John Patrick THOMAS deserting his wife, I wonder if the last child of Letitia was this one whose father is possibly not John Patrick THOMAS.

I’m not seeing this.

I did wonder about that birth.

Ancestry has the 1924 death of Letitia Thomas transcribed as aged 39.

The Victorian Pioneer Index I use has aged 79 as given by Jamjar

Place Richmond.

Hi Jamjar
Open the link and use Control F search box in I E or Chrome.
Type in Letitia.

It's towards the end of the first column.

I don’t understand.

I’m on my iPad.

If you are referring to the link re: maintenance, on Trove, I see that.

I can’t see anything about her being deserted by John.

Ah, Now I think I see what has happened.
I posted the reply re the desertion at that time on R'chat when they do the big upload each day.
In Melbourne where I am, that is  around 11.15 and running through to 11.30ish.

It creates a long lag between the moment you hit "post" on reply window and the time it appears on the board.

Well, it seemed to post ok, at the time but obviously it didn't.

I thought you couldn't find the reference to James GEE

Anyhow, Here is the link to the desertion issue.

MODIFY .... duplicating... at least we are all on same track so I will get back to my real life stuffs
   sorry Sue

All good, have read it now.

I do not understand why, even when using ‘advanced’ search, things don’t pop up.

I can’t see anything conclusive for their children, re: M and Ds.
