Comments
Hi Tonkin,
My name is Peter Croser, from South Australia now living in Perth WA.
Just some further info on Edith May Tonkin, born July 1877, daughter of John Charles Tonkin. Married Frederick William Croser 9/2/1901 at Koolywurtie, witnessed by Jas H.Tonkin of Koolywurtie and E. Croser of Yorketown.
On the 2/5/1902 they had a daughter Grace Maud Croser (stillborn).
Our records show Edith passed away 14/5/1902 (12 days later).
The irony of this was I lived in Ceduna for 7 years had a son who was born blue but thankfully was revived and my wife bled out at the time of the birth but was again thankfully saved by hospital staff at Murat Bay Community Hospital in Ceduna.
Anyway just thought the detail on Edith maybe of use.
Best Regards
Peter Croser
