a Martin (1860).
Photograph - wedding portrait
The inscription with this photo is "Photographed September 7th 1889, to Eddie from Ida, copied 1918" I understand the people are left to right Frederick's brother (in white shirt), Ida Wild and Frederick Brown. I understand the brother to be Horace Jack Brown.
Photograph - family
Lorraine Tebbutt identifies this family as Jack Brown, his wife Elizabeth and children John and May. All in WA. From appearance of the clothing it looks as if the it was taken c1900.
Photograph - Jack and May
Lorraine says that on the back fo the photograph is information that Jack
has been sick and May is now married. In WA
It makes sense that Jack would have moved from Melbourne to WA in the 1890s
due to the severe depression that affected Melbourne, while WA experienced
a gold rush. Many thousands did make that move.
I searched birth death and marriage indexes for Victoria covering 1860s-1920s and
couldn't find any record of a marriage that suits Brown and Sharp.
Initial assumption from that is the Jack and Elizabeth married in WA and
their children were born there.
