Barrett:
Baptism Certificate for Borrett aka Barrett 1820 in Whittlesea noted as John,
Marriage Parish Record Borrett aka Barrett to Mary Ann Wood 1853 states name of his father to be
Richard - death entry Victoria, Australia states John....
(Other researchers show it to be John)
Borrett aka Barrett died at sea en route to Australia in 1854. Infant son
Borrett aka Barrett also died at sea - no details known. No disasters on ship, good voyage
per reports.
William:
According to his father's WILL 1819 he and brother Alexander attended Miss
Browell's Preparatory & Boarding School in Kentish Town, London following his
death.
3 men were appointed as Legal Guardians for the 2 boys, they were also executors
of William Henry Snr's WILL.
Article in Morning Post London 1853 could relate to him.... He mentions
having lived at Craven St - this is the same street where one of his earlier
Guardians Arthur Geddes lived - coincidence..? He also mentioned various
things - having been up at Scotland, on a clipper, with the East India
Shipping Company, being in the shipwreck of the "Minerva"..... All worthwhile
clues. He was in Australia by 1857 when he fathered Emily Augusta with Mary
Ann Whitehead.
Various sources including TROVE article re death of his wife Mary Ann, state
- Captain William Henry Anderson E.I.C.S., believed to stand for East
India Company Service
Trove article re death states - of Udale, Cromarty, Scotland (he wasn't born there, but of
there)

It is possible that Emily Augusta Wood ANDERSON, while remaining married to William Anderson
had all or some of her children with Crawford Allen. She also married Charles Durham Scates
while still married to William Anderson.
The relationship with Crawford Allen was not a Marriage, the relationship with C D Scates was a marriage,
but surely it was bigamous as her actual husband William Anderson was still living...
William and Emily were cousins - perhaps they agreed to not have children, and to go their separate ways
without actually being legally divorced...?
It is LEGAL in Australia for first cousins to marry...!
It appears that during the time William was married to Emily, he had a relationship with Augusta Conacher.
His wife Emily (Scates) died 02 Jan 1928, his WILL was signed 02 Oct 1929 in favour of his partner Augusta
and he was married to her that same year, (no certificate applied for) not long before his own death on
09 Apl 1930.
William:
His Marriage to Emily was performed by Rev James Fullerton who was known for not asking questions -
marriages often included people who were possibly under age,bigamous relationships or elopements.
William's parents from his Birth entry on ancestry - also from his death transcription NSW, Australia
1930
Not sure if 1913 Electoral Roll relates to this family - looks possible/probable..?
Entries for Arthur Street are documented.
Crawford:
It is believed that Crawford ALLEN (known as ANDERSON) may have fathered all
of Emily's children - with Emily keeping their surname as that of her husband
William Anderson.
Maybe one day this will be proved incorrect...
Father of CEL Anderson shown on his Marriage Cert. in 1912 to be Crawford
ALLEN, known as ANDERSON
Charles:
