Find Ancestors

Thanks Julcoe, I will follow your advice

Harold,

About the info from 'Ryerson Index'

You have to actually contact the newspaper listed on the index to find out what is written in the full article about Marion death.
Or contact the State Library and they will check the paper, (for a small fee)

What Patricia probably meant when she stated " Sorry no more info."
was that there was no other info in the listing...i.e. "Late of ......" etc.

The notice was in the Sydney Morning Herald on the 7JAN1995
It may contain extra info.

Yes Choccy I think you have her identified and thank you fopr that - but I really need to know about her later life and marriage (big shock) to my father Jack Finch Bower

Patricia above has already done the Ryerson Index -see above, she died 4/1/1995 as Marian Caroline Crew but Patricia said there was no more info.

I would love to get hold of her death certificate - may be I need someone from NSW to help.

You need to try and get her death certificate.
Australian death certificates also list any children (plus their age at time of the death)

You could contact the paper from the Ryerson Index (google it) they may have more info also

Thanks, but we know very little about her - possibly her mother was Maude Edith Roberts.

To be honest we did not know she existed until a few months ago

Hello Harold,
Found a death for Marian Caroline Crew on Ryerson Index. Death notice 4/1/1995 age 84 years.
Sorry no more info.
Regards,
Patricia.

Hello Harold
Just a 'long shot' I am going backwards:
We have a Charles Albert Edmund Roberts b. 1872 in St. Pancras....married Mary Anne Maria Savory 1894 in St. George Hanover Sq. Do not know if they had children.
Believe he/they came to Sydney NSW in early 1900's but not been able to find them.
A long and involved story...above Charles was the brother of my husbands g grandfather. The children were born under the name of Roberts....but their father was a Storer.
Do you not have any idea who Marian's parents were?
Regards
Kaye (AUS)
