Zoe was born about 2 Jan 1891. She is the daughter of Richard Tangey and Jane Barnett, and likely born in Tasmania, Australia where they lived. [1]

The family moved to Thames, New Zealand in about 1897. She attended McLeehan Convent school, then Kauaeranga Boys in Thames, then Waiokaraka School in Thames. [2]

In 1909 in New Zealand she married Walter Thomas Pearce. [3]

In 1920 Pearce was charged with assaulting his wife, from whom he had been separated. A witness was Edward Tangye, her brother. [4] They divorced in 1920 or 1922. [5]

In 1923 in New Zealand she married Frank Dawsey. [6]

She passed away suddenly on 5 Dec 1924 in Melbourne, Australia, age 33. [1]

Research Notes

Not sure what the story is with the school record for attending a boys school? Two of the records are in the name Zoe and one in the name Joe (but there are no other records for a Joe so I am taking this as a transcription error).
