Elizabeth Coad Born Newsome Born IN Ossett Yorkshire England Wife of James Coad Born 1850 St Columb Cornwall England

Elizabeth's husband James Coad, passed away in 1896, leaving her with children ranging from approx 12 years old down to 2 years old. Her circumstances were very difficult, at a time of sorrow and ill health. She was living at Houghton/Highercombe in the Adelaide Hills. Her eldest son, from a previous relationship, John Henry Newsome, born 1876, was old enough to be of financial assistance. It is believed that Elizabeth and her children came to the attention of the South Australian Children's Board. This information came from one of James' descendents, Rose Ward. It seems to have vanished from my papers, I would like to read it again and the outcome if possible, as I have not been able to find the source.
