Find Ancestors

Firstly just to clarify," Lilley " was Mary's surname.

I can only access the electoral roll up to 1954, BUT...
The NSW State Library has an 'Ask the Librarian" service who will search the roll ( for a small fee)

Thank you very much for this, I really appreciate the trouble you have gone to. I had no knowledge of Ernest marrying Lilley Mary. Is 1954 the last record of Ernest and Ruth or may there be more available?
Thanks again
Janet

Even though Ernest enlisted in 1940, it is still possible for his name to be on the 1943 electoral roll, if he had not advised the office of his move.

'Goodlands' is less than 20 miles from Kalannie, Ernest's 'Locality on Enlistment'

The 1943 marriage certificate should tell you if he was a widower.

Thanks for your help, Ernest John Jackson was born in Liverpool in 1906. His parents were Ernest and Elizabeth Jackson and He emigrated to Australia in 1924 and was in the RAAF during WW2, later winning the soldier settlement in Tumbarumba (Maragle estate).

Found a Ruth Jackson at Tumbarumba, her maiden name was Davey
BUT.. she married an Alfred Leslie Jackson in 1950 ! !


To find your great uncle we need more info.

Aust. death registrations also list parents names (if known)

When & where, was Ernest born ?

What are his parents names ?

What is his FULL name ?

Did he serve with the Australian forces ?

Please give us a much info about Ernest as you know.

Hello Janet,
Found a marriage for a Ernest John Jackson married to a Margaret Ruth Thearle in 1943 Burwood NSW. There is no marriages for a Peter Jackson to a Ruth.
Regards,
Patricia.

Trying to find descendants of my great uncle Ernest Jackson (?known as Peter) who emigrated to Australia in 1920s. He won a soldier settlement block in Tumbarumba. He married Ruth, a girl from Australia. Does anyone have any information on the family please?
