The previous post that reported that William Wainwright married Mary Ellen Gorst may be incorrect due to recent discoveries. In her recorded memories Elizabeth (Betty) Marshall (nee Stubbs) remembers visiting uncles Will and George Wainwright on a farming property at Kukerin, in the southwest of Western Australia, where she believed they were farming prior to 1910.
Also, the 1913 Western Australia Postal Directory lists Samuel and William Wainwright both living at 12 Plain Street in Perth. William is also listed with a second residence at 43 Melbourne Rd., also in Perth. His occupation is listed as tobacconist. Further research shows that a William has been at the Melbourne Rd. address since 1904. He is sometimes listed as a tobacconist and hairdresser. In 1906 he is joined by a Fanny Wainwright and in 1916 by a Lawrence Wainwright at the Melbourne address. Is this our William Wainwright?
