    • The marriage certificate of Alfred and Eunice Free was witnessed by Jack & May Malacari.
      In 2007 I spoke with the son of Jack & May, William "Bill" Malacari b.1921 and his wife Dell and they had no info on the FREE line but put me in contact with Mrs Peta Freeman who had asked Bill the same questions some years earlier.

      Hi Darryl - I am glad the info was a help to you - perhaps she didnt quite come out alone - other girl friends - cousins whose name you dont know and also single at the age of 30 wasnt a great life for a British girl - and Australia was always keen for single women to come out here for the marriage market. Perhaps she had friends out here already So there could have been lots of reasons and also by Nov 1913 Britain was on the brink of WW1 and a very worrying time leading up to the outbreak of the war Bye for now
