To All who replied Many thanks for all the help and guidance given. I posed the question more in hope than anticipation and was amazed to find with 24 hours I had information on Annie's marriage and of their deaths in the Perth area. The surname LOVE is correct. My Aunt always said that great Aunt Annie married her 'true love' - I always took that as just an expression - I hadn't realised she meant it literally! My Dad is fairly certain Annie had 2 daughters and that they were both older then him. However, Dad was born in 1929 and, assuming the children arrived after Annie's marriage, they would be both younger than him - time does play tricks with family memory etc. I also suspect Annie may have emigrated a little later than suspected (up to 1930). The original date of 1926 was based upon 2 children being born before my Dad and working backwards etc. I also identified a record on freeBMD which gives a birth record for Edward Ernest LOVE Mar 1903 in Hendon, London - which fits. I now know when and where Annie got married and when and where she and her husband died. I have yet to find out when she travelled to Australia (with Edward? - family memory would suggest yes) and details of their descendants. Perhaps that will be the subject of a further search in the future. All the best and thanks once again - I do appreciate the effort people have put in on my behalf.

I am trying to find Annie Keeley b1902 Henley-on-Thames, England. All we know is that she emigrated to Australia between 1918 and 1926 (believed to be earlier rather than later), married and had 2 daughters. Last heard of living in the Perth area. There is some doubt as to whether she married before she left England but I have checked the GRO records and can find no trace of a marriage so I am assuming she married in Australia. Some guidance as to how I can continue my research would be most welcome.
