Can anyone help me with the family of Annie Elizabeth Hawkless, 1851-1934 and William Woodcock 1846-1918. I know they were from the Ryde, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia area. I believe they had 8 children, 3 male and 5 female. All I believe born in Ryde, but this is all I really know. My wife is a Hawkless so it is her tree I am working on. Annie is not a close relative but a limb I am trying to sort out. Any help would be appreciated.

According to your tree on GR, William Woodcock was born in St Mary’s, Scilly Isles..so NOT ‘from Ryde, NSW’ although that is where he was in later years
Which websites have you accessed when researching these people?
What do you mean by ’family’? Antecedents - or descendants?
|
1851 census shows William’s parents to be Stephen and Jane, nee Cumming, both born c1813 in the Scilly Isles
|
Where do you think Annie was born?
I thought Australian death certificates had a lot more information on them than we do in the UK.
Presumably all those children are in Australian records.
|
Presumably, Annie is connected to the people named Hawkless mentioned in your other threads on here?
|
The marriage was in 1874 in NSW - have you obtained a copy of the cert?
Births of children in Ryde, NSW are on FMP……….look there for their names etc

Roy would probably find it worthwhile investigating if his local library service has access to Ancestry.
It is common in the UK, seems probable in Australia - not sure about NZ. But either of those countries , and many more, would have guidance on local records.
