RESEARCH NOTES
- From Burke’s Colonial Genry book lists her as
“i. Emma Morcom, m. 23rd June, 1875, William Bowen Chinner, Esq. of Adelaide, professor of music, but has no issue.”
But the numbering is out of order and the marriage date would more likely be a birth date if in fact the daughter of George Witherage Cotton.
Part of the generational confusion may be due to OCR scanning errors.
