Lily was born 09 Jun 1869 in Boolcoomata Station East, SA, daughter of William LILLYWHITE, a carpenter, and Kate FARRELL. [1]
MARRIAGES GRANGER—LILLYWHITE Dec 1889. [2]—On the 15th October, at the residence of the bridegroom's father, by the Rev. W. A. Langsford, William, second son of the late George Granger, of Kangaroo Island, to Lily, eighth daughter of William Lillywhite, late of Yorkes Peninsula.[3]
Their Children[4]
She passed away age 85 on 8 Sep 1954, Highgate, Perth, Western Australia.[5]
Other siblings - William, Mary Ann, Martha, Matilda and Katie (was lost and died in the bush).
Re marriage location: - interesting that "at the home of the bridegroom's father" was also "the home of Mrs Warman". I think George Granger was dead in 1867, so I think this was a sister's home.
Father William likely to have arrived in South Australia as a colonist - born before 1836. Check passenger list of Buckinghamshire 1839. http://topperwien.com/genealogy/trees/people/p0000gs8.htm#I4247 sya he was born 8 Mar 1833 in Surrey, father also Wm., wife Jane Eliza Boorman.
Western Australian government gazette in 1905 and 1915 shows William, son William George and Lily Rose Granger as having leases on land at Cuballing. (Google)
