Biography

Elizabeth, the daughter of Thomas Wynne and Ellen Carter was born September 8,1893 in Manchester, Lancashire, England[1]. In the 1901 England Census Elizabeth is 8 years old, living with her parents, elder sister Mary E. and younger sister Sarah[2].

She likely arrived from London on 8 Sep 1913 on the ship Orvieto. [3]

Elizabeth, occupation Machinist, of Albert Park, marries Henry James Woollard on July 3, 1924, in Victoria, Australia[4].

Elizabeth appears on the electoral roll for 1925 (as Elisabeth) with the occupation of home duties, living on the corner Main and Eighth Avenue Coorparoo[5]. On the 1929 electoral role and until her death her occupation remains as home duties[6]. Elizabeth appears on these rolls without a middle name.

Research Notes

Husband Henry James has his surname incorrectly entered, should be Woollard. Biographical information entered 17 February 2023 comes from research by the homeowner of their former Brisbane residence Acton. Some futher clarification required on Elizabeth's mother's surname, entered as Doran in the data but Carter in the biography.

I live in a house in the suburb of Coorparoo, Queensland, Australia, originally owned by Henry James Woollard and Elizabeth (Wynne) Woollard. Their surviving children were joint owners when I purchased in 1981: Henry Clifford Woollard of North Geelong, Victoria (Australia) and Dulcie Elizabeth (Woollard) Muller of London. The title was registered to Henry and Elizabeth on 26 Nov 1925. <ref> Original Certificate of Title Queensland No. 300600 Register Book, Vol 1642 Folio 90</ref> I wonder if Elizabeth's husband's record (wollard-9) has a mis-spelt surname and is the Henry who owned my house? I believe my Henry died on 13 March 1958 <ref> BDM 1958/B/24701</ref> and Elizabeth died on 21 Sep 1974 <ref> BDM 1974/B/54484</ref>. These dates correlate with those on the land title. I located TROVE search results of newspaper notices lodged by Henry and of a competition entered by Dulcie. Based on a birthday wish notice, it appears Henry Clifford was in the RAAF and he has a brief services record online.
