I am hoping to locate the descendants of Arthur Henry ABBOTT (b. 1917, Sydney) and Neta Mary ABBOTT (nee NEAVES, d. 1970 Sydney) of Redfern, Sydney.

Have you done anything yourself to try to find info?

Do you have any evidence that they produced any descendants?

Who registered the death?

Are the names in anyone’s tree on here?

The fact that there were only siblings’ names on Neta’s death info suggests a childless marriage

I would think the garbled word following Alice's name on Neta's death info is actually 'deceased'

Thanks all.

I believe that Arthur Henry ABBOTT and Neta Mary ABBOTT (nee NEAVES) may have had one child. Neta's death notice in the SMH on 19 August 1970 refers to her as "dearly loved mother of Keith, dear mother-in-law of Beryl".

Prior to his death in 1968, I believe Neta's partner was a Charles EDMUNDS. Charles was formerly married to a member of my family tree, and it is Charles that I am hoping living descendants of the Abbotts may be able to provide some information on.
