Hi Geoff, and I'm just back from our local library and found out about Wendla, wife of Charles Coudrey
She was born in 1898, probably in Finland and was aged 26 at time of their wedding
Her father was Gustav Robert Wolventine Lindstrom and he was born in Finland on 20th September 1862
By the way, as a matter of interest, Gustav married Lucy Ann Dennis on 27th June 1891 and they were both 28 years old
It was Gustav who died on 22nd September 1936 at the age of 74
I can't understand the newspaper 'In Memoriam' item----------(please refer to THIS page)
He was her father not her husband, which makes for a better understanding when it states from all three,
as he was the father-in-law of Charles and the grandfather of Bobbie
So there was no first husband

More information on Wendla
Apparently she was born on 1st March 1898 in Perth Western Australia
I don't know what her maiden name was,
but she was adopted by Gustav and Lucy who were married at Semaphore on 27th June 1891
It looks like they couldn't have children of their own as I can't find any records of such
Also Lucy was born on 16th May 1863 at Bald Hills in South Australia, the daughter of Henry Dennis and Elizabeth (nee Watson)
