Find Ancestors

Searching occupation of Thomas Henry White in Victoria about 1875 in Australia who had second marriage to martha and lived at Essendon Victoria Australia.

Surely his occupation will be recorded on the marriage cert.....................

There is no census info for Australia........all records are routinely destroyed once collated

There are ER's which give information, but its difficult to pin down which Thomas Henry White in Victoria is yours.

Do you have any idea when he had his 2nd marriage? Or when wife no. 1 died or divorced? What was 'her' name?

I doubt that the ER's will give info about his occupation.......unless they differ from the UK version

The ones on Ancestry do, but it may depend on the year. They won't say 'where' he worked, just what the occupation was.

Just taking any old Thomas Henry White living in Victoria, Australia

Thomas Henry White
Gender: Male
Electoral Year: 1903
State: Victoria
District: Kooyong
Subdistrict: Surrey Hills

The image gives the address as Rose Avenue, Surrey Hills.
Occupation Plasterer.

As the names are listed alphabetically by surname, one can see that there is also a Mary White at the same address, occupation Home Duties.
There is no relationship to or about the Head of household or qualification for voting given against the peoples names.

Later ones give a more precise address. Unfortunatley, if someone with a different surname also lives there, it won't show up as a 'household', unlike the London ones on Ancestry. You'd have to look for them seperately

It may be possible to make an address search. If someone has tried that, they could advise.

Have a guess at this being the marriage???


Australia Marriage Index, 1788-1950
Name: Thomas Henery White
Spouse Name: Martha Nelson Sawyer
Marriage Place: Victoria
Registration Place: Victoria
Registration Year: 1887
Registration number: 7543

It's the 1875 in the OP which is confusing - is that the estimated yob, year of marriage or even the year Marie is hoping for an occupation?

It's possible that a 12 year old could marry..........??? ;-)

Thank you everyone for your help, I think the Thomas Henery White married to Martha is probably correct, I have only just found out that there was a second marriage, I was put off by the spelling of his christian name, If this is the correct Thomas he was born to Alexander White in Tasmania and Mary Smith probably about 1847, I know nothing else at all of his parents. I will send for the marriage certificate in hope that I might find some more information.
The previous marriage was to Louisa Linacre in Victoria.

Marie already has most of this from back in January www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,577382.0.html

Have you checked out whether the Alexander WHITE & Frances SMITH (both convicts) are the likely parents for Thos?
