For William John Nelson & Harriett Rebecca Barber
Surviving sons and daughters of the late Mr. Nelson are: Elizabeth (Mrs. R. Robertson, Nambucca Heads), Effie (Mrs. F. W. Saunders, St. Mary's), Annie (Mrs. J. Carbine, South Brisbane),. . Herman (Taree), Arthur (Hurst-villel, Charles (Nambucca Heads), Minnie (Mrs. R. Cousens, Homebush), Lena (Mrs. R. Robinson, Kempsey), Warrell (Bob) (Concord), Frank (Bondi), Muriel (Mrs. A. O. Crossingham, Bur-wood), Madsre (Mrs. J. Clarke, Nambucca Heads), and Harold (Nambucca).
Trove OCR as it stands ('Madsre' for Madge, 'Hurst-villel' for Hurstville). This is the record that names the sibling set as a set, and the source of the familiar forms Effie, Annie, Lena and Bob added as name rows on the children created from the birth index. Eleven of the fifteen registrations have now been found and Muriel is in the tree from other evidence, so twelve of the fifteen are here. The seven daughters are complete, which means every child still missing is a SON: three of the eight - among them Arthur (Hurstville in 1947), Frank (Bondi in 1947), and either Herman (Taree in 1947) or the boy who died as a baby, depending on which of those the 1904 registration of Harry M turns out to be. Muriel's own registration is still not found: the parent-filtered sweep of 1878-1912 has no row at all between Warrell in 1896 and Madge in 1902, which is where hers must fall.
