Father's address as next of kin was 435 Napier St, Fitzroy (same address you have). Inexplicably, Ernest also enlisted as Robert CARTER (16439); he was charged with fraudulent entry:

There is a possible marriage for Lily/Lilian as Lilian MITCHELL, born Carlton, to Sydney PREACHER in 1901 (reg 5791), no children. He was born in Sydney. I can't find a marriage for her to Joseph - possibly they never formally married.

Out of interest, a letter to the Editor that Joseph had published:

The Argus, Thursday 22 March 1945
Sir: The statements of Lieut. Colonel English regarding conditions in the Mallee and his summing up of the politicians who seem to think it is their duty to hide truth from the city people make interesting reading. It is refreshing to find a cultured and much - travelled Britisher telling his readers so many home truths. As one who has travelled extensively in north-western Victoria, I agree with our English critic that a coat of paint is better than whitewash to brighten up our country towns. I also think politicians who represent country areas should pull their heads out of the sand and open their eyes to what is really going on, instead of following the lead of the chief ostrich.
-J L. CARTMEL (Melbourne).

Marriage of Albert Noel CARTMEL, son of Albert & Nellie:

The Argus, Monday 29 August 1949
Cartmel-Gordon
The groom's brother, Mr Colin Cartmell, was best man at the wedding in Church of Christ, Gardiner, on Saturday, of Joan, only child of the late Mr. G. K. Gordon, and of Mrs H. Gordon, of Glen Iris, and Albert Noel, eldest son of Mr and Mrs A. E Cartmel, of Hawthorn.
The bride's white frock was cut on classical lines, and she wore a veil of point l'Anglaise lace on Brussels net over tulle, which formed a train. Her two matrons of honour, Mrs J. Pope and Mrs P. Duncan, wore blue crepe frocks, and her bridesmaid, Miss Heather Butler, wore white georgette.

I have found contact details for a son of Albert's, and the wife of Colin (still living); if you are interested, send me a PM and I will forward to you.

Search at http://tributes.theage.com.au/obituaries/theage-au/ for notices for Colin, Joan and Albert Noel...sadly, Colin died very recently, only in June 2012. :-(

Ted may be the Edmund F CARTMEL who married in Ashfield NSW to Dulcie V BAILEY (reg 11104) in 1929.

An Edith Mary CARTMEL died in 1954 in NSW. I can't see their marriage.

[Source: PapersPast]

They arrived in Victoria in Aug 1872, aboard TARARUA II.

I thought eldest son John must have died but this looks like his wife's death notice! in Western Australia!

The West Australian, Thursday 16 November 1950
CARTMEL: On November 14, 1950, passed peacefully away, Annie Maria, widow of the late John George Edmund Cartmel, devoted mother of George and Gladys (Mrs. S. A. Beavis). Privately interred in the Anglican portion of the Karrakatta Cemetery. Arthur J. Purslowe and Co.

John died 23/11/1936 aged 67. He lived in North Perth. Annie was 79 when she died; her maiden name was GILLMAN. See www2.mcb.wa.gov.au

They had a son named George Edmund; he married Evelyn Mary CLARKE in 1926 and died in 1958 aged 60. Daughter Gladys Myrtle married Stanley Arthur BEAVIS in 1929; they divorced in the 1950s. I have found living Beavis rellies if you are interested in following up this branch.

Hi Cherilyn, How are you? I know this is outside the dates you cover (marriage between a Graham and Austin in Qld, c 1952/3), so could you advise me as to where to look to confirm the dates, and how to then order the cert? Regards Linda

Hi Linda
You could try checking the newspapers at NLA Trove for a marriage notice.
Otherwise I am really not sure; you can't apply for a Qld marriage cert of another party if it was less than 75 yrs ago... :-(
Sorry
Cherilyn

Hi Cherilyn, thanks for that. Will try the trove. Didn't know you couldn't get the certs :( what a pain!!! Regards Linda

Hi
I am looking for marriages in Victoria.
Archie walter Drewry and Frances Reid, sometime after 1924,
and Kate (Kathleen) Drewry and Errol Sylvester Jenkins, also after 1924.

Also trying to find Kate and Frances (who were friends) coming into Australia sometime prior to 1924, which is when they arrived for the second time. I am told by Kates' daughter that kate and Frances arrived together, and stayed with Frances' sister in Victoria.
Any help pinning these details down would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Karen

Hi Karen - almost missed it, his surname spelled differently:

Family Name: REID
Given Name: Frances
Spouse Family Name: DREWERY
Spouse Given Name: Archie Walter
Registration Year: 1926
Registration Number: 10474
Event: M


Family Name: JENKINS
Given Name: Erroll Sylvester
Spouse Family Name: DREWERY
Spouse Given Name: Kleen
Registration Year: 1927
Registration Number: 9498
Event: M

Miss K. DREWRY aged 24 arrived in Victoria in May 1913 aboard 'Port Macquarie'. Also on the same ship is Miss F. REID (19) and Mr A. REID (also 19). Does that fit?

JENKINS ERROLL SYLVESTER : Service Number - VX78715 : Date of birth - 17 Jun 1906 : Place of birth - LAVINGTON VIC : Place of enlistment - CAULFIELD VIC : Next of Kin - JENKINS K

Archie died in 1975 aged 74 (Numurkah) and Frances died in 1972 aged 75 (Wangaratta). Both as DREWRY.

Kathleen died in 1973 aged 76 in Ballarat, so her age does not fit above arrival - but all else fits? Her parents were Chas & Susannah. Kathleen and Erroll had a daughter named Frances who died in 1927 in Williamstown.

Thank you Cherilyn, you are a gem. <3

Kate and Errol married in 1927, and daughter died in 1927, presumably in infancy, how sad.
Kate lied about her age (according to her daughter!), so she has unreliable ages all over the place!

Karen

I did wonder about that!!! :) Happy to help!
