She married my Grandfather Edmund Scottick Charles Chandler in January, 1924 in Western Australia. She was unable to be married before that date because she was nursing her ill father in Melbourne until he died. His name, Foster Spencer Williams is on her wedding certificate as being her father. We know he was alive on 4/1/1923 as he signed a form authorising Elsie Williams to pick up a memorial plaque for Claude on his behalf. So I am assuming he died sometime in the year of 1923. For your further information some of the six children born to Annie Ashby have the name of Spencer Williams not Foster Spencer Williams on their death certificates being listed as their father. I am led to believe that the first two children born to Annie Ashby, Ivy May and Elsie Marie may not in fact be the actual children of Foster. The following four children are believed to be. Claude Spencer, Linda Alice, Constance and Robert Leslie. This is very recent information I have received verbally from the grandaughter of Ivy May. I'll look into any Williams/Bouchier...Williams/Wingfield connection. Thank you for your help, much appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
