William married Emily Kate NUNN on 5 Sep 1891 in Queensland, Australia. Emily (daughter of James NUNN and Louisa EASY) was born in Jun 1873 in Milton, Chesterton, Cambridge, England, UK; died in 1952 in Marrickville, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Emily gives her age as 21 on 1891 first marriage to William Painter when she would have been about 18. As well, she gives her age as 39 in 1915 when she remarried to Nicholas Nichols in Sydney when she would have been about 42.
There is an 1873 baptism record found for an Emily Kate Nunn in Milton, Cambridgeshire which fits for her to be the first child of James Nunn and Louisa Easy who were married at Chesterton, Cambridge in 1872 and who emigrated to Australia in 1874 along with Emily.
The puzzling thing is that on the ship manifest, Emily's age appears to be 11, instead of one. This is presumed to be a ledger entry because everything fits for her to be James and Louisa's child.
As well, she was baptised as Emily Kate but does not appear to have used that second name much but it is recorded on her death entry.
