Hello My name is Pamela and I am new to the list however, I have been researching for over 20 years. I am very interested in any information on the children of "William Morris Hughes," ex prime minister of Australia. I have been researching his family for over 8 years and know more about him than I do about any of my previous presidents here in the USA. The problem is, there is VERY LITTLE information on his children. Edith, his oldest daughter came here, to the US after marrying a Mr. James P. Bourke in 1910. Any information on him would be appreciated. My main interest in his family are his last two daughters from his first spouse, Elizabeth Cutts. The 2 daughters in question are Lily C. HUGHES born 1892 and Dorothea E. (Dolly) HUGHES born 1895. A book written by W. Farmer Whyte in 1957 was totally inaccurate concerning the information given on HUGHES, chalderns birthdates and facts of their lives. Information on any direct descendants of Mr. HUGHES would also be of great use. Thank You, Pamela Seattle

He is allegedly buried about 200 metres from my house. Do you have a picture of his grave ? Sorry I know nothing about his children. I would imagine there is more than 1 biography of Hughes as he is one of Australia's more notable politicians and was in public life for more than 50 years. You can confirm birth of Lily and Dorothea at www.bdm.nsw.gov.au Lily C Hughes child of William and Elizabeth died 1893 ( could be a different person ). Dorothea E Hughes appears to have married Victor Smyth in 1930. I am a relative of Presidents Bush, Bush and Washington. So there !
