I have found a marriage between a Lilian Jean Ovens to a Verdon Smith,
25 Dec 1912 at St. Luke, Hollis Croft.
She gives her address as 17/3 Scotland Street and that her father
was David Ovens (deceased), farrier.
This would tie in with the David Ovens who was in the
Ashburners Light Horse.
Hi Moira
Thank you for that information, yes it does tie in with the previous information. i actually found a birth for lilly in ireland but i assumed it was the wrong one until now, you have confirmed her full name so i'm certain it is the right one
