Thanks Morgan2409 I have managed to find most of this information and the thing I can't get my head around is why he would have lied about his age on his marriage certificate ie it states his age as 28 but with this other information he would only have been 20 also on the subject of William there is mention of a Amy Isabel Forbes nee Mead being William Mead's daughter in a court case in 1895 and also there is a mention of a Herbert Edmund Mead being William Mead's son in Herberts death notice on Thursday 28th September 1905 so I am confused cheers !

Sorry Morgan2409 I meant his age at marriage would have been 36 not 28 going by the other information !

Thats OK, I am so confused myself

FORBES V. FORBES.
This was a case in which Amy Isabel Forbes petitioned for a judicial separation from Henry Blair Forbes, her husband, on the grounds of cruelty.
Mr. Harold Crisp appeared for the petitioner. The respondent did not appear.
The petitioner gave evidence to the effect that she was married in 1883, and shortly after her marriage her husband began to treat her very cruelly, which behaviour he had continued up to the present time. Evidence was called in corroboration.
Mr. Crisp said that he did not ask for alimony,but simply for tho costs of the action, and that the petitioner should have custody of the infant daughter of the marriage.
The application was granted

Thank you for the information especially on the Forbes vs Forbes it sounds like he must have been a nasty person as he had William And Amy turning on each other in the Mead vs Forbes and wife case in the mercury friday 16 july 1897 !

Are there two Amy Ann Isabel Mead or is she the granddaughter of William Mead-see memorial notice from Amy D'Arcy

IN MEMORIAM
MEAD-In fond remembrance of my dear husband, Herbertt Edmund Mead,who died September 27, 1905
It is one sad year ago to-day
Since my dear husband was called away,
The trial was hard, the shock severe,
To part with one I loved so dear
Inserted by his loving wife, Susannah Mead
MEAD -In fond remembrance of my dear father, Herbert Edmund Mead, who died September 27, 1905
Fond was the father I loved and lost,
Patient, forgiving and tender,
But in the days I thought of him most
Death came and rent us asunder.
Inserted by his loving daughter, Amy D'Arcy.
MEAD - In affectionate memory of our dear father, Herbert Mead, who departed this life September 27, 1905
"Though gone from sight still to memory dear" Inserted by his loving sons
and daughters

I have also managed to find a Amy Ann Mead born 1st of November 1844 born to a Thomas Mead and Susan Miller in Hobart so that makes it even more confusing !

I think that the confusion lies with William Mead. There is more than one, I am usually wrong but I don't think that the Hoteliers are not your Meads. There is some relationship, but What?
