Hi
I am so pleased with all the exciting information
The Army information must be correct as Herbert A Owers born 1909 Father was Charles Owers.
Thankyou again

Hi Cherilyn
Thankyou so much for the information it is most intertesting.

I just wonder if Herbert Albert Owers ever married again ??
Also would it be possilbe for you to look up 1936,1937,1943,1949,1958,1980 Austrailian Electorals,maybe that would give some idea who he was living with.
during those years mentioned Please
Thankyou you so much

The Sydney Morning Herald, Friday 17 July 1931
BARNSLEY-The Relatives and Friends of Mrs ELEANOR BARNSLEY, widow of the late Robert Barnsley and only sister of Joseph Abrahams are invited to attend her Funeral to leave her late residence 35 Amy street Erskineville THIS DAY at 115 p m for Erskineville station thence to Church of England Cemetery, Woronora.
T J ANDREWS, Funeral Director.
21 25 Enmore road Newtown.

Let me know if you are interested in more on the Barnsley side...I know you really were seeking his arrival but cannot see it sorry. (Oh just noticed Choccy found it already :-D)

Looks like Henrietta was known as Ettie...


The Sydney Morning Herald, Monday 15 December 1930
BARNSLEY.—December 12, 1930, at St. George District Hospital, Kogarah, Robert, beloved husband of Ellen Barnsley, and father of Louisa, Daisy, Mollie, Walter, Ettie, James, Doris, and Hilda, aged 63 years. By request, no flowers.

PS The eldest 3 girls were born before marriage to Ellen as ABRAHAMS but all 3 re-registered in 1915 as BARNSLEY.

And a little bit of gossip too! :-D

The Sydney Morning Herald, Tuesday 17 September 1929
LITTLE v LITTLE.
In this suit John Albert Isaiah Little petitioned for the dissolution of his marriage with Henrietta Eleanor Little (formerly Barnsley) on the ground of her adultery with one Bert Owers (who was joined as co-respondent), between April 9 and May 9, 1929, at Brighton-le-Sands and other places. The marriage took place on October 20, 1921, at Newtown, according to the rites of the Church of England. His Honor granted a decree nisi, returnable in six months, in favour of petitioner, for whom Mr. Basil E. Smith appeared. There was no appearance on behalf of respondent or co-respondent.

15654/1921 LITTLE JOHN A I / BARNSLEY HENRIETTA E / NEWTOWN

John was born in 1903 in Newtown NSW.

It seems she reverted to her maiden name for her 2nd marriage to Bert:
900/1930 OWERS HERBERT A / BARNSLEY HENRIETTA E / ST PETERS

Henrietta was born in 1904 in Newtown, NSW to Robert & Ellen nee ABRAHAMS (reg 14990), one of at least 12 children (though a few died in infancy). I wonder if this is her death (back to her maiden name again!)
12320/1978 BARNSLEY HENRIETTA ELEANOR / ROBERT / ELLEN

Funny enough Barnsley was my grt grandfather's name (originally from Shropshire)! :-) My grandmother, pictured on my post, was a Barnsley!

Hi everyone :)

Thought I'd post here so others can see it to save doubling efforts

I think this is his death, he lived to a lovely old age
