Find Ancestors

I don't know what's shown on Australian marriaage certs, but would suggest you send for a copy of it.

Perhaps it would give you her age and father's name, at least?

I wonder if there's some family connection between her and the Eliza Jane Renfrey on Kalgoorlie area electoral rolls? On Ancestry she's shown in 1903, 1906, 1910, 1916:

Australia, Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980 about Eliza Jane Renfrey
Name: Eliza Jane Renfrey
Gender: Female
Electoral Year: 1916
State: Western Australia
District: Kalgoorlie
Subdistrict: Hannans

Also in the household are Margaret, William Henry, Edward Stanley,and William Clarence - all Renfrey.

The last electoral roll on Ancestry which shows Eliza Mary Gard is 1980:


Australia, Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980 about Eliza Mary Gard
Name: Eliza Mary Gard
Gender: Female
Electoral Year: 1980
State: Western Australia
District: Swan
Subdistrict: Midland

Perhaps contact the registration authorities in that area re a record of her death? She must have been at least in her 70's in 1980.

If that tree info is correct, then this is a brother for Eliza

The info provided by Gins looks right.
Can see ERs for Richard Renfrey and wife Eliza Jane in Kalgoorlie from 1903 onwards.
Richard was a miner.

Edit:
ERs show that there may be 2 separate couples?
1) Richard Renfrey with wife Eliza Jane
2) Richard Henry Renfrey with wife Elizabeth Jane

Both were miners, both lived in Kalgoorlie but at this stage I cannot tell if it's one couple or two?
Both show at different addresses in 1903?

RENFREY.---On April 14, 1947, at Gulldford, Richard Henry Renfrey, be loved husband of the late Elizabeth Renfrey, fond father of Arthur (Nor tham).Len (Kukerin). Richard (Ku kerin). Frank (Dumbleynn), Eliza Mrs. W. Gard, Kalgoorlie). EvelynFix this text (Mrs. R. Stubbs, Norseman) and Doris (Mrs. G. Wells. South Fremantle) aged67 ears

Thanks Gin,
That confirms that he was Richard Henry Renfrey with wife Elizabeth Jane
Edit:
at 1925, 2yrs before their daughters marriage, they were living at:
Merrilup, East Dumbleyung
Renfreys in the husehold were:

Richard Henry Renfrey Labourer
Elizabeth JaneRenfrey ( married)
Arthur Edgar Renfrey Labourer

Based on this, daughter Eliza was either not in the household or she was not yet 21yrs and eligible to vote

Still can't find a birth record for Eliza Mary :-S

Were there penalties for not registering BMDs in Oz?

Got her

Hi Gins

Thankyou what a great tree but strange there is no mention of the Renfrey side.
