  • Notes 
    • Elizabeth s birth details were obtained from South Australian Births 1842-1906 book 202 Page 232 district code UpW.
      After Taney's death of entric Fever and Pneumonia, the tree children were brought up by Fred's mother, known as Old Mother Fenton in Daysford, Victoria. In 1909 Fred decided to take the children and go to Western Australia. However, it seems that young Frederick Duncan who had known no mother but his grandmother refused to leave. He lay down on the train platform and his father and two sisters had to leave without him. They travelled in the train to Melbourne and then on the ship "Dimboola" to Geraldton. On arriving in Geraldton Fred approached a man on the wharf and asked him if he would look after Clarice who was then only 8. The man went home and asked his wife who agreed. So for 10 to 12 years Clarice was brought up by the Bells. Dad Bell was a Plummer in Post Office Lane; Clarice, made the seventh child, Illma lived separately and worked in a bakehouse for the Brayshaws. Fred suffered from asthma, so left Geraldton and travelled north to find work. In 1918 Fred married Margaret Mary O'Donnel in Geraldton. They had two children, Margaret Doreen Born 1920 and Percival born 1923. Fred died at his home in Waylon road Subiaco of acute dropsy. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992)
