GARVIS of England & Australia

Hi Shae,
I have found your source for this information but some is incorrect.
Edna Garvis (Tame) your grandmother was born 15/02/1913 not 1912.
I believe that Levi Garvis died at Toowoomba not Oakey on 10/10/1974. His mother, Annie nee Pemberton married a George Fitzallen after her husband, William Thomas Garvis died. William Thomas, Annie and Levi are all buried in the family plot at Warwick, Qld.
William Garvis emigrated to Australia in 1885 on board the 'Dorunda' while Annie also emigrated in 1885 but on board the 'Duke of Argyle'.
Levi's wife, Maud (no 'E') Beatrice Hale was born 19/02/1889, died in 1964 and was cremated at Mt. Thompson Crematorium. We believe that she was born in Australia but her parents and older sister Mary Elizabeth emigrated to Australia in 1845 aboard the 'British Consul'.
Mary was three so we believe that her birth date is 1878/1879 not the 1888 as listed on that other site. If you check that site has the two Hale sisters as being born four months apart which is more impossible than likely.
There is a lot of confusion with the Garvis name. Even William Thomas emigrated as Jarvis, married as Garvis and died as Jarvis.
Mary Pilches may have been Mary Pitcher.
Hope this helps.
Marie (Nanna) Cherry.
