Trying to find Waters

Trying to find details of any ancestors or descendants of Frederick Waters, born around the late 1850's at Chatham in Kent. He married Maria Crosswell and they had a daughter Alice Waters (my Grandmother) and a son Frederick Waters. They at one time lived in Tonbridge/Tunbridge Wells, At one time he was the Publican of 'The Swan' at Faversham, and another time he was the Publican at The Royal Oak at Rusthall, Tunbridge Wells. There were two other children, Edith & Clara, although we are not sure if these were Frederick's daughters or neices. Maria Waters died in 1904 and Frederick re-married in the first quarter of 1909 to Emma Hogben (formerly Ralph) and they had a daughter Marjorie who was born in 1911 at Blean in Kent. Frederick, Emma & Marjorie emigrated to Australia (Perth/Freemantle) where she promptly left him for another man. There is no mention of his daughter Marjorie/Margie after this. I would like to find out what happened to her. There was a later letter upon Frederick's death, to the war office, stating that Frederick's second wife had re-married again and moved to China, although I have no other evidence to back this up. Does anyone know anything more of this family or have any connections?
