For this week’s Trove Tuesday, I am sharing some articles about the death of William Peter Marr. The first article listed on trove was:
FATAL COLLAPSE (1935, April 7). Sunday Times (Perth, WA : 1902 – 1954), , p. 18 (First Section). Retrieved June 14, 2016, from http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article58755785CYCLIST’S FATAL COLLAPSE.

William Peter Marr was the son of Alexander William Marr and Edith Selina Emma Murton. Until finding these articles on Trove, I didn’t have any information about any other children of Alexander and Edith – now I knew they had an older son James Alexander Marr, and a daughter Thelma, who had married Cecil Sampey.
Alexander William Marr was the son of Peter Marr and Harriet Rebecca Gregory. Peter was my great grandfather’s brother.
