That is the fellow I mentioned who is in some trees here at Genes Reunited

Horace Growden 1874 Booyoolie, South Aus

but I wonder whether he wasn't a little old to marry

Mollie Gratwick 1906/1909

in 1941 ... but maybe not!


(thanks for the other info Valerie)

I noticed Mollie married Horace John GROWDEN in 1941 - Perth.

Horace John d1957 age 83yrs at Williams. (Williams is a rural/farming area south of Perth.)

The 'WA State Library's 'Ask a Librarian' service (on-line) can check newspaper death notices for family names - (especially from Mollie's more recent date of death) and find family members from electoral rolls. (past & present).

Hi - 'Names & Locations' site is ONLY for WA - (on 'google')

('Ryerson's doesn't cover WAus - mostly NSW/VIC & QLD some SA/TAS)

Hi Valerie, can you give a link for this "Names & Location" site? I have no idea how to look for it, and it might help someone in another thread:

https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1090809

Unless what you are referring to is just for WA.

Hi Annette - the 'West Australian State Library' (on-line) has an
'Ask a Librarian' service -to check electoral rolls (past & present) (residents have to be on the rolls).

I noticed on the 'Names & Location' site (on-line) which has deaths to present day- shows Mollie died 26/10/1992 age 83. The Library will also check newspaper death notices -from this date - for family names. They can then trace any living family members from the electoral rolls.
