Many thanks for that, Freda. William had been married. I found an entry on Trove where he was jailed for claiming food vouchers for his children during the depression, but his wife and children had left him. I'm getting a completely different picture of my ancestors and their families now - they weren't all just hardworking , honest citizens after all!
