Monica, I can't help you with your specific questions.I am descended from Austins - different to yours - which is how I tripped over your message.One possibility for you to consider - George and Anne may not have married, or she reverted to her maiden name after separating from him.Did you check the NSW divorce records? Also the NSW records are not perfect. Good definitely, but some records simply are not there. Also check various spelling of Austin - they could have been misrecorded as Austen or something else.A clerk could have recorded the surname as they pronounced it, without checking the spelling. And what did George's death certificate say? That usually mentions previous spouses and all children, unless the informant chooses not to give the details or does not know.Good luck, Doug.
