Eunice was known as Annie Charlotte Wray throughout her married life. Arthur and Annie had two children, John Ludley Arran Wray born in December 1897 and Elinor Caroline Wray (also known as Ellie Wray) born in October 1899. Arthur worked as a Draftsman for the NSW Tramways-Maintenance Branch in Sydney. The family lived in 'Derry' Sutherland Road, Beecroft while the children were growing up and from all accounts the children had a happy childhood with many Summer holidays enjoyed at Manly, the Central Coast and South Coast of NSW. John who was a military cadet as a boy, was interested in photography and entered competitions from a young age. Ellie was interested in singing and drama and there are many accounts of her productions and performances found in TROVE.
