Florence Mary Robertson-Williams

[Katsy8]

Looking for any birth or marriage records for Florence Mary Robertson Williams .
Death records show she was born in Napier NZ 1882 to Alfred Willoughby Williams, Mother:Attrill
Death Parkville Melbourne 2nd Dec 1955
Unfortunately ive been unable to find any records of birth or travel to Aus.
She married a Bertie Cecil Marsh only record is a newspaper clipping stating they married at St Andrew’s Cathedral 27th March 1905 in Singapore but once again I haven’t been able to find proof of this or any record of travel.
She bore a son Robert 1908 with Bertie named as the father. His Canadian Military records all state his marriage to her but it seems he never returned .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The marriage notice says she was the daughter of "the late A. Willoughby WILLIAMS Esq. of Wales"

and another with "niece of Colonel Robertson, Melbourne"
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/9894582

Also this item about their intended marriage:

"Florrie" seems to be travelling with an aunt. Shame the page is not scanned properly so that you can't quite read next to the binding.


Modified to add:
Birth notice for son in 1908:

The tree also says that Fanny Attrill was born  5 September 1848, Cook's River, Petersham, NSW so Mary Florence had connections to Oz.
