Note	Barbara Alice Wood was called Alice so she changed her name around to be Alice Barbara Woods and this is how she recorded it on her marriage Certificate. She was 20 years old when she married but recorded her age as 21 so she would not have to get parent consent to marry as was the case back in those days. She would have also been two months pregnant. She was the Daughter of Samuel Wood and Caroline Hicks and was born on the 3oth November, 1887 in a Place called Black Camp near Brookfield in the Clarence Town area of NSW. This is the information recorded on her birth certificate although other documents give other locations. At the time she was born her father was a Teamster moving timber by bullock team from the forests in the area. Their first child, Myrtle Caroline Simple was born on the 18th December 1908 in Mt Morgan. Walter F. A. Simple’s wife was pregnant with their second child when he walked out on her and his daughter. Without support in Mt Morgan, Alice Barbara Simple left Mt Morgan and went to a place called Wattle siding near Gindie in Central Queensland where her parents now lived. Her second child was a boy and he was born on the 14th January, 1911 and was delivered by her mother. She called her new born son Walter Thomas Simple after his father and his Grandfather. We know that she returned to Rockhampton because she took her Husband to Court in October 1911 for maintenance to support her and the children. A copy of the ruling is attached. Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton, Qld. : 1878 - 1954) Wednesday 4 October 1911 Page 10 Police Court. Wife and Child Desertion. Alice Barber Simple, of Rockhampton, proceeded against her husband, Walter Francis Alfred Simple of Mount Morgan charging him with having deserted her and with having deserted his two children, Myrtle Caroline Simple and Walter Thomas. Simple.-Mr l. C. Tyler appeared for the complainant. The defendant consented to an order being made for the payment by him of 10s a week towards the maintenance of his wife and 5s a week towards the maintenance of the children. An order was made accordingly, and the defendant was further ordered to pay £2 / 2s professional costs and the cost of Court. It is unlikely that Walter Francis Alfred Simple ever paid the maintenance as the children wer places into an orphanage in Rockhampton in late 1911.
