She gives her fathers name as Thomas ANDREW, and his occupation as a Railway Employee.
John and Kathleen give their mothers name as Jean DOUBLEDAY and Ellen MORGAN respectively.
Because of Kathleens age, she had to obtain special dispensation from her father, Thomas Andrew, to get married.
Maybe the mother of John POORE remarried.
When the four children were young, their parents marriage broke up, and the children were put into a home.
John Poore apparently re-married, as did Kathleen.
Kathleens second husband, William Percival Hambridge, appears not to have been previously married, and served in the A.I.F. in WW1.

A Jack Poore d.1927 (aged 80) Manly and an Eugenie Eliza Poore d.1949 (aged 74) Canterbury.
Johns two sons, John and William, were made Wards of the State (8 Nov.1931), as their father was sent to prison (Coburg) for 46 days, for not paying an employee the correct wage, and their mother, Florence, was unable to care for them.
At this time John and Florence, and the two boys, were using the surname Munro.
There were also warrants, for the arrest of John, under the name Hobbs.
The following article appeared in the Argus, 17 Nov.1931, p.5, titled - Punished for Trying, Judge on Ingratitude.
Munro said that he has stolen the goods to obtain money to buy food for his wife and himself, as they were both starving.
He had been turned out of place after place because he was unemployed and could not pay the rent.
Mr.Book (Crown Prosecuter) said that Munro was serving a sentence of imprisionment for 46 days for having failed to pay the correct rate of wages determined by a wages board.
Mr.Justice McArthur - how does he come to be an employer ?
Munro - I hired a double-horse vehicle to cart wood from the country, and entered into a kind of partnership with another man.
Mr.Justice McArthur - It looks like one of thse cases where a man who is struggling, and who attempts to do something, is punished for paying less than the prescribed wage. This is the only gratitude which is shown towards him. This sort of thing is happening, over and over again.
Munro - They have now seized my furniture. Everything is gone.
Munro was remanded for sentence.
Mr.Justice McArthur asked to be furnished with additional information regarding Munro.
Mr.Justice McArthur said that he was at first inclined to take a lenient view of the offence which Munro had committed, but when he had come to look into the matter he had found that it was not only a case of stealing.
Munro had fraudulently persuaded the agent to allow him to go to the house under the pretence that Munro intented to rent it.
Munro would be sentenced to imprisonment for six months.
