Also known as Coral May GOATHAM-SMITH Also known as Coral May SMITH-GOATHAM Child Status Adopted Died 2003 Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

Half-siblings3 half brothers, 3 half sisters and 1 person of an unknown gender (family of Harry GOATHAM and Emma Jane UPTON)
Half-siblings4 half brothers (family of Charles William COLEMAN and Rose PARKER) Notes - Who was Coral May?
Clearly with a link to the family of Harry and Rose Goatham - seems to have been an adopted daughter ('G' for Goatham could have been included in her birth registration because it was so late). I have been told Rose took in a child to care for in 1915 whose mother was unable to; this is the year that Coral was born.
The birth registration the year before the emigration to Australia may have been to get the paperwork sorted out for that voyage.
