Hi again Glenda,
Charles Leslie BOORMAN b 1886 Carlton- Parents Charles Mangham and Ena { nee RUSSELL} BOORMAN
Charles Leslie d 1945 Port Melbourne- parents listed as Charles Manghum BOORMAN and Andrewena RUSSELL??
There is listed a death for Charles Mangham BOORMAN b London d 1861 aged 26- Parents John and Mary Ann { nee Mangham} BOORMAN ** This is probably Charles' father.

There are also 2 marriages for Charles Mangham BOORMAN-
1855 to Charlotte BAKER and
1883 to Andrewina WHITE { b Castlemaine 1862 d 1941 Sth Melb -Parents Andrew WHITE and Mary ALEXANDER}

Charles and Charlotte had:
* Mary Ann Brougham b 1856 Melbourne
* Charles Maughan d abt 1859 1938 Melb aged 79

Charles and Andrewina had:
* Henry Lockwood b 1884 Carlton d 1964 Glen Iris { mother listed on death as Andrewena BAKER??}
* Elsie May b 1890 Sth Melb
* Charlotte Mary b 1894 Melb STH d 1985 BUEE??
* Edith Rose b 1901 Sth Melb
There is a marriage for Charlotte BOORMAN to Samuel Henry Lockwood 1861

Marriages of Charles and Charlotte's children:
* Charlotte Mary m Josh Herbert Vickers SIDDLE 1917
They had:
** Alan Leslie d 1983 Geelong aged 60
* Elsie May m Francis BIGGS 1925

*** There is also a death for Arthur Henry d 1939 aged 43-Parents Chas BOORMAN Mother Unknown
Charlotte BAKER b 1859/60 parents Frederick and Ellen {nee Douglas} BAKER
I hope you can make sense of all of this.
I don't know if Andrewina/Andrewena was a RUSSELL or a WHITE. It is listed on both birth and death as WHITE, but on Charles b in 1886 as Ena RUSSELL. Then on Henry Lockwood BOORMANS death is listed as Andrewena BAKER ??
Regards
Ally

This matches the birth details you gave but not his parents names...

Surname: BOORMAN
Given Names: Charles Leslie
Event: B
Father: Charles Mangha
Mother: Ena RUSSELL
Birth Place: CARL
Year: 1886
Reg Number: 8772

However Chas Mangham/Maugham BOORMAN married Andrewena/ina WHITE in 1883. So above could be a mistranscription (Ena could be short for Andrewena!). His death in 1945 in Port Melbourne shows his parents as Chas Manghum BOORMAN and Andrewena RUSSELL (reg 6468). This certificate will show if he married and had chn (can't find any).

Their other chn (all show mother as mn WHITE):
1. Hy Lockwood 1884 Carlton, m. Leila Rosamond SNOWDON 1909, d. 1964 aged 79
2. Elsie May 1890 Sth Melb, m. Francis BIGGS 1925, d. 1981 Melb aged 91
3. Charlotte Mary 1894 Sth Melb, m. Josh Herbt Vickers SIDDLE 1917, d. 1985 aged 90
4. Maude Evelyn 1898 Sth Melb, m. Arthur WHITE 1927, d. 1951 Richmond aged 52
5. Edith Rose 1901 Sth Melb, d. 1966 aged 65 as RICHARDS

Chas 'Maugham' BOORMAN died in Melbourne in 1938 aged 79, son of Chas 'Maugham' & Charlotte nee BAKER. Andrewena died in 1941 in Sth Melb, dau of Andrew WHITE & Mary ALEXANDER. (She was born in 1862, as Anderina, reg 13295)

Ah I see the confusion. Chas M snr married Charlotte BAKER in 1855 in Vic (reg 1180). Chas M died in 1861 aged only 26, born in London, son of John & Mary Ann nee MANGHAM (reg 148). Then Charlotte BOORMAN (nee BAKER) remarried in 1861 to Samuel Hy Lockwood (reg 2162). So that's where the Lockwood came from!
