In reply to John Sheridan. Hi John I will need to check this, I think you were correct and that there were only one set of twins to Mary.

Moya, Why are there 4 children noted for Mary Hunter? She only had two, or so a newspaper report said:
“Mrs. Hunter was prematurely delivered of twins and both died.” If she had four and they all died no
wonder she passed away too!

Hi Margaret I will see if I can find any more for you. Im sure that I did some research into the ‘Christmas’ family a few years ago. Its a name that sticks in the mind. I will get back to you soon. There are quite a few ‘Christmas’s’ on the Outback Family History web site, have you seen these. If not this is the address:- http://www.outbackfamilyhistory.com.au

Hi Moya,
I’m interested in learning more about the Christmas and Harvey children as my grandfather, who immigrated from Limehouse, Middlesex to Leonora in 1908 could have been related. His mother was Emily Elizabeth nee Harvey b. 1827 Millwall, Middlesex and she immigrated to Collie in 1909. Her mother was a Sarah Elizabeth nee Christmas b. 1834 Norfolk.
Marg.
