Notes
General:
Eliza's marriage certificate to Charles Erridge states that she was widowed on 15 June 1917. There is no registered death for a Samuel Wright in that year, so I presume that the name of her first husband on her death certificate is incorrect. I have been unable to find a Victorian marriage of Eliza Slater to a Wright of any name. There is 3 marriages noted on Eliza's death certificate but the names of her first 2 husbands are not known or mentioned on the certificate. The first marriage may have referred to Eliza giving birth to Ernest as an unmarried mother in 1884.
I have found the marriage of Elizabeth Agnes Slater to Arthur Samuel Wright in Fremantle WA in 1903, though I have not obtained this certificate so I cannot be certain that this is the correct Elizabeth Slater and I have been unable to find a death for an Arthur Samuel Wright but it is possible that Arthur Samuel may have been killed in the WW1. I am not sure if Eliza would have been in WA at this time, but I have added this as her marriage as it is stated on her death certificate and it is the only marriage that fits the details and she did marry Charles Erridge as Eliza Wright, not Eliza Slater.
Eliza's death certificate states that she had been first married to a Samuel Wright and had a daughter Florence who was already deceased, however I have been unable to find a marriage or child's birth to date. There is no mention of a living child on her death certificate.

Notes
General:
I only discovered Ernest when I found a newspaper article at his cousin sending him a letter from the front in WW1, this led me to investigate and find out who the cousin E Slater who was living in Jennings Street, Kyneton was. This led me to find the birth of Ernest Slater to Eliza Slater in 1884. Illegitimate is written in big letters in the father's section of the birth. Ernest was born at Black Hill, probably at his grandparents place. When Ernest married, he gave John Slater and Caroline Johnson as his parents, though they are his grandparents. It is highly likely that he was raised as the child of John and Caroline and he may not have known that Eliza was his mother.
On the birth of his last child in 1919, Ernest was named as Ernest Ligouri Slater. He is also called Ernest Ligouri Slater on his death certificate which states that he had lived in Victoria for 51 years and in NSW for 30 years. His occupation is given as Grocery store proprietor and his usual residence was 14 Grattan Street Carlton.

The Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848 - 1957) Sat 14 Jul 1849 Page 2 ABSTRACT OF SALES BY AUCTION THIS DAY.
ABSCONDING - A young lad, named John Benjamin Slater, appeared on warrant yesterday at the police-office, charged with absconding from the service of Messrs. Langlands. In consequence of the indisposition of Mr. Henry Langlands, the case was postponed for a week, and bail in the sum of £10 accepted for the appearance of Slater.
It would appear that the Slaters moved to the Kyneton area some time between 1856 and 1859, although in January 1856 they were living near Amherst Victoria, and John was digging for gold at Daisy Hill.

Jack enlisted in the 23rd battalion 7th reinforcements on 22 July 1915. He embarked from Australia on 26 November 1915 on the "Commonwealth". He travelled via the Middle East to France. He was taken on strength to the 58th Battalion in March 1916 and was later attached to the 60th Battalion for a short time 1n 1916. He also seems to have spent some time in the 15th Machine Gun Company and was transferred to the 15th Field Ambulance as a driver in October 1916. He served in France from approximately 1916 - 1919. His service number was 3256. His name on his service record is recorded as John Thomas Slater. He returned home on the "Borda" in 1919 where he acted as a nurse. However he became ill on board the ship and had to be hospitalised himself.

KYNETON SOLDIERS.
Several Kyneton soldiers have sailed for the front during the present week, including Private T. R. Darcy, of Simpson street, who enlisted in September last, and who has already three brothers at the front and one in the Army Medical Corps at Langwarrin. In the same boat with Private Darcy were Privates A. Orames. son of Mr and Mrs Orames of Hutton street, and Private Watt, of High street, both of whom belong to the railway unit. In the same transport also were Privates B. Lane, T. Maxwell and G. Schroeder, all of Kyne ton. Mrs Minogue. of Kyneton has received a cable message from her son, Private J. H. Minogue, announcing his safe arrival in England. The message was sent through Mr M. Minogue Under-Treasurer for Victoria, who is Private Minogue's uncle. Mrs Minogue has also received several letters posted by her son from Cape Town, in which he stated that they had had a good passage and that the Victorian troops were all in good health and spirits.
Private J. Slater, who is in the firing line in France, has written to his cousin. Mr. E. Slater, of Jennings street. In his letters Private Slater mentions several Kyneton soldiers he had recently met, all of whom were well at the time of writing. The names mentioned were J. Brennan. H. Olden. J. Oke. V. Davis and A. Dobinson. Joe Brennan, he said, was a bootmaker in the 57th Battalion, and was doing well. Private Slater, who wrote his letters in a dug-out in the firing line states that the frosts and snow were very' severe, but that he and his mate had a nice fire in their "home." He added that it gets dark over there at 4.30 p.m. in winter and that the daylight is not visible until 7 a.m. Private Slater is in the machine gun section.
Mr and Mrs John O'Hare of Wedge street, Kyneton, are anxiously awaiting news of their son Gerald, who was a wireless operator on board the Berrima, which was torpedoed in the English Channel on Sunday last. Mr and Mrs O'Hare have received no official information of any kind and are therefore hopeful that their son is safe.

Well Known Trafalgar Resident Passes
Mr Henry John Slater
A man by his sincerity and friendly approach had endeared himself to a wide circle of friends and acquaintances in this district, passed quietly away to his reward at the Yallourn Hospital on Thursday evening last. He was well known Ashby Street identity, John Henry Slater.
Aged 64 years at the time of his unexpected demise, the late Mr. Slater was born at Kyneton, and as a young man had answered his country's call to service from that centre. After some four years with the armed forces in Egypt and France he came to this area soon after his return to Australia, and for a few years worked at Yallourn where he was engaged in the excavation works going on there at the time. Later he drove a baker's delivery cart for the late Mr R Errington, in Trafalgar. Some few months afterwards he had ideas of branching out as a contractor with a motor truck but this plan had to be abruptly abandoned when on the very first day he met with a serious accident to his left arm and as a result spent the next three years with the limb encased in plaster.
At other times he spent short periods in various businesses at Moe, Trafalgar and Yarragon and finally from the outbreak of the 1939-45 War again took a position with the S.E.C. at Yallourn.
In 1951, after a severe bout of rheumatic fever he retired from work and spent much of his time at his two favourite hobbies - fishing and growing vegetables. In both these fascinating past-times he had much success and more than one of his acquaintances have heard to remark that no fish could be deemed safe once the deceased got on its trail. In district shows he gained exceptional success with the produce from his garden and in regard he was known practically from one end of the province to the other.
Of recent years he had enjoyed reasonably good health and was able to derive much entertainment from his endeavours on the bowling green.
Only a few weeks ago he suffered a heart affliction but appeared to make an excellent recovery, but on the Sunday prior to his death he was admitted to the Yallourn Hospital with a further illness and despite expert care and attention his condition worsened and he passed away as stated above.
In 1923 the deceased married Miss Annie Matthews, and a member of a well known and respected district family.
"Jack" as he was affectionately known to all, might well be termed to have been a member of the "old school" Fate was never very kind to him, for even in his very early infancy both his parents died. Later in his life his injury to the arm might well have caused him to lose spirit, but he was made of the right composition and accepted his reverses in a manner common to many of those who had been before him, and ever remained bright and cheerful.
Besides his widow, the deceased also leaves one sister, Katherine (Mrs. Bonham, of Queensland) and to them the sympathy of a host of residents and friends is extended.
The very large funeral to the Trafalgar Cemetery on Sunday was preceded by a service in the Trafalgar Methodist Church and there, as at the graveside, Rev. K. Smith was the officiating clergyman.
Members of the R.S.L. marched ahead of the cortege from the church to the railway crossing, whilst at the graveside the League's service was led by the sub-branch President, Mr. Geo. Evans.
The casket bearers were Messrs. Geo. and Bert Hollier, Stan Heywood and Wal Matthews.
Over 40 beautiful wreaths as well as many cards and telegrams were received. The funeral arrangements were conducted by Mr. H. E. Nelson of Trafalgar.

....................................
Another correspondent writes, calling attention to the unsatisfactory working of the Masters and Servants Act :-
I -would like to state through your valuable paper the need of being on the alert as to working for contractors. Fellow-Unionists, do not let your money run on with any contractor, unless you are sure he has a plant of his own or something out of which you can get your money when you have a verdict by law. I know most of us let our money run on when we see things going on all right ; but they can go on as right as you like, and then you can be wronged of your wages, for there is no law in New South Wales that can reach the wilfully dishonest contractor.
You must remember what a lot of us think - some that they can lay hold on bales of wool in which their labor is, others that the station can be held responsible for wages. Not so. All you can do is to get a verdict for the amount, and at the worst you can give him a fortnight's imprisonment in default of payment ; that is, if he has a wish to get it, but he can just go over the border and you cannot get a warrant to bring him back, Even if he would take the fortnight's imprisonment, it would pay him, as he would get more by so doing than he could by working for it. Note how the boys got on at Gnalta Station, at the woolwash, working for Hunter, of Victoria, who has let men in three years running. He goes away with, all the money. The men could get no more satisfaction than to know that he had washed 117 bales of wool, at 17s. per bale, in about 15 or 16 weeks. We could not find any way in which he could have expended such an amount. -The fact was, he drew the lot and sent it on before him. The manager of the station told me distinctly he was surprised when he heard the men were not paid, although it was no business of his. Unfortunately for us, the law is not just enough to make it a business of his. The station then kindly gave 5s. in the £, which was left in the hands of the store keepers, who got away with most of the money. How the 5s. in the £ will go now with those who have not received 5s. in the £ no one knows. So, my boys, don't forget next season how the law stands, and be sure to draw your money, and advise your fellow-workers to do so, when you are working for a contractor. - Yours, -&C.,
Joseph Slater.

Notes
General:
I have been unable to find the birth registration of Samuel in Victoria, though he states on his marriage certificate that he was born in Victoria.
Samuel and Lucy were married at the United Presbyterian Church in Melbourne. Samuel gave his age as 21 and his parents as Thomas Slater and Sarah Shannon, both decd. His father's occupation is given as Engineer and his own birth place given as Heidelberg, Victoria. Lucy's age is given as 18 and her parents and Henry William Pullen and Emma Eliza Rose, both dec'd, her father's occupation given as Modeller and her place of birth given as London. Witnesses to the wedding were WIlliam Purcell, Deborah Lazarus and Charlotte Murray. Samuels address is given as Victoria Parade, Collingwood and his occupation is given as farm labourer. Lucy gives her occupation as domestic servant and her address as Gore Street, Collingwood. Although Samuel gives his age as 21 and Lucy as 18, it would appear that Samuel was probably around 18 years of age and Lucy was only 16. and they state that both parents are deceased, however it would appear this is also incorrect.

CITY POLICE COURT.
Desertion -Samuel Slater was charged with deserting his wife, Lucy Slater, for the last six months, after ill-using her, and compelling her by the use of physical violence and beating to lead an abandoned life in order to support him in idleness. The consequence of his cruelty to and desertion of his wife had been that their two children had died of starvation. He was ordered to pay 15s a week towards her support for the next twelve months.
