Albert died 1914 in Eaglehawk, Victoria.
Age: 40 years.
Mother recorded as Mary Amelia BOTTRELL. Father unknown.

I'm not sure what become of Lena after Albert died.
The marriage index gave her birth place as Donald, but there is no record for her birth under this name. There is no death recorded for a Lena BOTTRELL and there is no second marriage recorded for her.

There was a death for a Kelina Agnes BOTTRELL that died in Eaglehawk in 1915, aged 44 years. Her parents were named as John RICHARDS and Margaret MACLAREN. I have a feeling this will be the death of Lena and the informant has given her father's name as RICHARDS and not RICHES. It's also possible her mother's maiden name of MACLAREN is also wrong.

Further searches of the birth records finds a Colina RICHES born in Colac, Victoria in 1873. The parents are named as John RICHES and Margaret MCLEOD. I think Colina RICHES may be the Lena RICHES married to Albert BOTTRELL in 1896, and will be the Kelina BOTTRELL that died in Eaglehawk in 1915.
