| Fact | Arthur Hargrave's will refers to an adopted daughter named Nellie Hargrave and his wish for "Mistress Bateman" of Warrnambool to be her guardian. Limited research shows a Ruth Bateman, nee McDowell bearing children and later dying in Warrnambool in 1887. Other records show a 36 year old Lucy McDowell dying in Melbourne in 1873. The following year a 7 year old Nellie McDowell travelled to the UK and 10 years later a 17 year old Nellie Hargrave, daughter of Lucy McDowell, father not listed, died of consumption in Prahran. Additional research is required. |

| Marriage of a parent | Arthur HARDGRAVE — Clara Catherine Lancashire SELMAN — View this family June 1, 1881 Wife: 36 Address: 21 Rutland cres, Glasgow, Scotland
The marriage was a traditional form whereby each party accepted the other as spouse in the presence of witnesses. Arthur was too unwell on the day of marriage to sign legal documents. The following year in Melbourne Clara signed a statement that she considered the marriage to be of doubtful validity. However, according to Wiki their form of marriage, with consumation, was not outlawed until the Marriage (Scotland) act 1939. Being known to be married was also an acceptable form of marriage in Scotland until more recent times. English and Victorian law was different.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_in_Scotland |
