Re: Welcome walls Alice and Percy Chilvers
There is an error in that Catherine was 2 years old and Margaret (my mother) was 6 weeks old when they left England and few months old when they arrived Australia / ie there were 2 daughters travelling with Percy and Alice on the Demosthenes.

Descendants of Alice and Percy Chilvers had a reunion/celebration in Albany Western Australia in October 2023 - to celebrate the arrival of Alice, Percy and their two daughters to Albany.
There were three generations of the Chilvers family in attendance.
