Personal Notes:
Alexander James Chessor married Margaret Fitzgibbon in Queanbeyan in 1872. She then remarried a William Munders on 14th July, 1893.
I would like to know her status at the second marriage.
Was she Widowed, Divorced or Abandoned?
The reason I ask this question is I can find no death or burial details on Alexander in any state of Australia.
I did find a advertisement in the personal column of a Perth newspaper looking for him in 1916 where the person said
“Alexander James Chessor” who lived in the Goulburn area of NSW, 36 years ago and I believe moved to Western Australia.
I am thinking he could have done a ‘runner’. In those days very few people owned their own houses and for a man it was simple to get on a train
in Goulburn as “John Smith” and get off the train in Melbourne as “John Brown”.

My grandfathers elder brother !!! She died as a Taylor. William Manders also left her and went to WA where he died in Wellington WA 1925.
