Hi Ann of Green cables.

Thank you for quick reply and your research. Yes they are the David Biddle and the Heffer Dhu connection.
I hit a brick wall as Eva does not show up in any of the Dhu records or the Biddle.
I have all their dobs and the Western Aust BDM.
First time Eva shows up is marriage to David Biddle.
Have even checked name and spelling variations especially for the Dhu and William Mitchell connections.
I had thought William Mitchell may have been married previously as at time of marriage to Elizabeth Dhu he was in his 50's. and had been transported to WA 1855 aboard the Adelaide at 25years of age and didnt marry Elizabeth till 1881.
I thought maybe was second husband of Sophia Dent, but still no Eva born to the couple and cannot verify my William as the 2nd husband to Sophia.
Will keep hunting..

Are you sure the Eliza MITCHELL born in 1883 is not Eva E? Do you have a marriage and death for her?
