Hi

Would you mind searching for any children born to Charles E and May Abrahams (nee Stacey). This would be between 1911 and 1920 (when I believe May died - Claremont, Perth).

many thanks

Hi Barbara

Her death notice:

Western Mail, Thursday 14 October 1920
DEATHS.
ABRAHAM.-On October 10,1920, at the Perth Public Hospital, May, dearly beloved wife of Charles Edward Morris Abraham, mother of John Charles, and sister of W. A. and H. G. Stacey, of No. 1 Matheson-terrace, Claremont, aged 39 years.

The same notice was in the West Australian newspaper on the 12th.

This must be the John C ABRAHAM born 1913 in Perth (reg 2245). No marriage or death found for him in WA.

Charles E M died in 1948 in Perth (reg 1653), aged 67. His death notices give his death date as 25/7/1948, in Claremont, and only mention friends - the Butler and Sawkins families.

From NLA Trove newpspaer site and MCB WA cemetery as well as WA bdms.

Hi Heather

Do you have any idea when he died, or if he was married?

No death to 1888 with those parents.

Hi Cherilyn.
Thanks for your offer.

Looking for Ann Phillips Lynn b 12/6/1877 Alwick Northumberland, migrated to NSW in 1886, possibly married William D Lovelock 1901 Merewether.

Have tried to trace a death in NSW but no luck, possibly went to Queensland, could you try to locate there deaths please.

Thanks

Hi Sue

Yes it seems she did move to Qld - to Coorparoo, just out of Brisbane.

The Courier-Mail, Saturday 11 October 1941
LOVELOCK— DICK.— A frock of delphine blue crepe romalne will be worn by Miss Marjorie M. Dick when she is married to Mr. Hilton Lovelock
(elder son of Mrs. A. P. Lovelock, Coorparoo, and the late Mr. W. D. Lovelock) in St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. Creek Street, this afternoon, and she will pin orchids on her white handbag. The Rev. N. L. D. Webster will officiate. The bride, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. W. Dick, Auchenflower, will be attended by her sister, Miss P. Dick, wearing rose du Barry romaine, and orchids will be pinned on her handbag also. Mr. Owen Lind will be best man.

His enlistment
LOVELOCK HILTON : Service Number - Q231834 : Date of birth - 20 Dec 1905 : Place of birth - COONAMBLE NSW : Place of enlistment - BRISBANE QLD : Next of Kin - MARJORIE

However, a search of Brisbane Council cemeteries comes up blank for Hilton, Marjorie and Ann.

Two of their surviving 3 daughters married in Murwillumbah NSW - Isobel to Wm J. TREVAN in 1929 and Amy to Wm P. BURKE in 1930. Wm LOVELOCK died in Murwillumbah in 1927.

Isobel's husband's WWI enlistment, aged 23?
TREVAN William James : Service Number - 6138 : Place of Birth - Ballarat VIC : Place of Enlistment - Sydney NSW : Next of Kin - (Father) TREVAN Thomas

This could be Amy's death notice at Ryerson Index:
BURKE Amy Elizabeth Death notice 09MAY2011 Death 97 Ballarat Courier 11MAY2011

Sorry I can't offer more

Does not appear that she died in NSW or Qld.

Perhaps contact the council and they may be able to offer funeral application info.

Or contact Jenny Brandis at her site (above) re the cemetery index.

Good luck!!! :-)

Jesse died in 1889 in Marrickville and Hepzibah in 1896 in Newtown. So poor Wm and Ernest were orphaned quite young.

dear cherilyn

I would like some info if possible of a stuart ridland who lived in sydney new south wales
birth date approx 1930 to 1937

parents sibling and date of death if possible

thanks rose

Hi Rose

There were a lot of RIDLANDs in the Mount Gambier area of Sth Australia, so it is possible he was born there.

There is a newspaper article showing a Stuart Ridland as aged 17 in 1954 in Mount Gambier, which makes him born c1937. However, privacy act laws make it difficult to know more about him.

Do you have any other information?

Hi Barry

Happy New Year to you :-)

Sadly my 1902-1913 disk has given up the ghost. And no births from 1914.

Andrew died in Prahran in 1943, aged 64, son of Wm (reg 8297). Alice Maud Mary died in Elwood in 1967, aged 82, daughter of Wm HARRISON and Mary BARNES (reg 21056).

His death notice seems to indicate there were no children of the marriage:

The Argus, Friday 6 August 1943
COWAN.-On August 5, Andrew, dearly beloved husband of Maud, of 22 Acland street, St. Kilda.

The probate notice shows he was a retired tramway motorman. Both memorials are at Springvale Botanical Cemetery.
