Hi Rachel, Alice Power was born Alice Lilian Dora Logan on 5/7/1883 in Carlton (Melb). Younger brother, William Logan, was born (birth not registered) @ March 1880, died aged 10 months on 27/1/1881 in Carlton. Death cert states he was born in USA & resident in Aust for 5 months. His father isn't Duncan Logan, my gt grandfather. Jessie Logan, nee Marshall, was born in Edinburgh in 1850, the youngest of James & Pamela Marshall's 11 children. She & brother John were reunited with the Marshall family in Melbourne on 31/12/1855. The others arrived in Jan 1854. James died in 1870, Pamela in 1871. By Dec 1883, Jessie was the only Marshall sibling left in Australia & - it appears - was forsaken by them & also their Scottish relatives on account of her relationship with Thomas Power. Very sad.

Helena Marshall Denton PS:If you're interested, I have lots of interesting info about her maternal relatives, including the descendants of one of her sisters who died in Melb in 1870.
