Richard, born 1868, William Laurance 1871, Mary 1874 (died 1879), and Ann 1876 (#1397).
Richard married Mary Jane Hongsip in 1888.
Richard senior, William's father, had had two children previously to Elizabeth Mulston in Cavendish in 1861 (both died before 12 months)

Ellen Mary Elizabeth and William Bryant, shortly after their marriage, moved to Perth and had seven children.
Six Bryant children married and stayed in Perth (William James ran a Pharmacy in Geraldton for many years before returning to Perth).
