Notes 1 Clement R Addis died aged 21 years on 21 August 1916, killed at the battle of the Somme (1). The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries
for Willaston Cemetery mistakenly records his date of death in the date of birth column (2). The Gawler WWI Honour Roll has Clement Riggs Addis born in North Fitroy in Victoria, the son of James Clement and Elizabeth Addis, but prior to enlisting was living with his uncle AH Riggs of “Bentley”, Gawler. He is buried in Becourt Military Cemetery, France (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/addis_clement_r.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/a.html 2 Annie L Argent died aged 83 years on the 7th Aug 1967; her husband Herbert George Argent died aged 77 years old on 25 Nov 1957 (1). The “5” in “1957” has been defaced, but we know he died in 1957 from Note 3. The Herbert Argent Marriage Index shows that Herbert George Argent was married in 1910 to Annie Lenora Andrews (2). Clarice May Argent died aged 93 yrs on 10 Dec 2006, wife of Lawrie, mother of Merilyn and Eleanor (3), and Lawrence Herbert Argent died aged 66 yrs on 16 May 1980, husband of May and father of Merilyn, step-father of Eleanor (4). This tells us that Clarice May Argent was married at least twice. Lawrence Herbert Argent was born on 18 Feb 1914 in Gawler to parents Herbert George Argent and Annie Lenora Andrews (5). There is no Lawrence Herbert Argent Marriage Index on GenealogySA, and Trove searching didn’t help 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/argent_herbert_george_&_annie_l.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QXJnZW50&g=SGVyYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/argent_clarice_may.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/argent_lawrence_herbert.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I433718 3 There are some Argent family dates on the Familypedia site, related to John George Argent (1854-1918) who is buried in the Zoar Bible Christian Cemetery, Penfield SA. John George Argent was born 16 February 1854 Peachey Belt SA, and died aged 64 years on 13 March 1918 Smithfield. He was married 17 May 1876 at the Bible Christian Church Penfield to Mary Ann Chivell (1853-1939). John George Argent’s parents were John Argent (c1826-1892) and Louisa Ann Laxton (c1829-1918). The children of John George Argent and Mary Ann Chivell were [1] Mary Ann Argent born 17 July 1877 Peachey Belt and died 31 January 1944. She married Frank Leonard Andrews (18811936); [2] Herbert George Argent (1880-1957); [3] William Edward Argent (1883-1957); [4] Eartle[sic] Stanley Argent (1885-1966); [5] Albert Harold Argent (1888-1971); [6] Sydney Clarence Argent (1891-1973); [7] Wilfred Leslie Argent (1894-1980) (1). By using RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we find the following children, all born to John George Argent and Mary Ann Chivell: [3] William Edward Argent was born 17 Feb 1883 in Penfield SA (2); [4] Eartle Stanley Argent born on 15 Aug 1885 at Wards Belt SA (3); [5] Albert Harold Argent born 2 Feb 1888 Wards Belt (4); [6] Sydney Clarence Argent born 26 Jul 1891 Gawler River (5); [7] Wilfred Leslie Argent born 26 Mar 1894 Port Gawler (6). William Edward Argent died aged 74 yrs on 19 Dec 1957; his wife Elsie Grace Argent died aged 77 yrs on 24 Dec 1957 (7). The William Argent Marriage Index shows that William Edward Argent was married in 1907 in the Port Gawler District to Elsie Grace Andrews (8). Unfortunately, Elsie Grace Andrews doesn’t appear on GenealogySA’s Birth Index, nor on SA bdms on RootsWeb. So had she been married before, or was she born outside the state? Haven’t been able to find out. Doris Lillian Argent died aged 41 yrs on 25 June 1937; wife of Sydney Clarence Argent who died aged 81 Yrs on 31 May 1973 (9). The Sydney Argent Marriage Index shows that Sydney Clarence Argent was married in the Norwood District in 1917 to Doris Lillian Maslen (10). On RootsWeb, Doris Lilian[sic] Maslin[sic] was born on 12 Apr 1896 Virginia SA to parents Levi Maslen and Lucy Ann (fmly) Durnford (nee) Simper (11). Florence Maud Argent died aged 80 yrs on 11 July 1963, wife of Hurtle Stanley [Eartle Stanley] Argent who died aged 81 yrs on 22 Oct 1966 (12). The Hurtle Argent Marriage Index shows that Hurtle Stanley Argent was married in the Port Gawler District in 1908 to Florence Maud Norris (13). On RootsWeb, Florence Maud Norris was born on 10 Aug 1882 in O'Halloran Hill, Adelaide SA to parents William Norris and Flora Jane Winn (14). Wilfred Leslie Argent died aged 86 yrs on 4 Sept 1980; his wife Hilda Anna Argent died aged 90 yrs on 9 Dec 1991, parents of Dudley, Colin, Robert and Shirley (15). The Wilfred Argent Marriage Index shows that Wilfred Leslie Argent was married in the Barossa District in 1924 to Hilda Anna Hillier (16). On RootsWeb, Hilda Anna Hillier was born on 26 Mar 1901 in Gawler Plains (Now Smithfield) SA to parents Samuel Hillier and Anna Augusta Rinkey (17). Olive Gertrude Argent died aged 67 yrs on 22 Aug 1966; wife of Albert Harold Argent who died aged 83 yrs on 29 June 1971 (18). The Albert Argent Marriage Index shows that Albert Harold Argent was married in Adelaide in 1924 to Olive Gertrude Kuhlmann (19). Using RootsWeb, we find that Olive Gertrude Kuhlmann was born on 15 Aug 1899 in Little Para, near Salisbury, Adelaide SA to parents Frederick Henry Kuhlmann and Ida Louise Roenfeldt (20). Colin George Argent died aged 61 yrs on 25 May 1989, husband of Roseleen Nancy, father of Leslie and Janice (21). Using RootsWeb, Colin George Argent was born on 8 Aug 1927 in Gawler to parents Wilfred Leslie Argent and Hilda Anna Hillier (22). 1 http://familypedia.wikia.com/wiki/John_George_Argent_%281854-1918%29 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I536518 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I633202 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I711572 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I723383 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I732461 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/argent_william_edward_&_elsie_grace.jpg 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QXJnZW50&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/argent_doris_lillian_&_sydney_clarence.jpg 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QXJnZW50&g=U3lkbmV5&c=&y=&r=MA== 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I149083 12 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/argent_florence_maud_&_hurtle_stanley.jpg 13 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QXJnZW50&g=SHVydGxl&c=&y=&r=MA== 14 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I96762 15 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/argent_wilfred_leslie_&_hilda_anna.jpg 16 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QXJnZW50&g=V2lsZnJlZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 17 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I250256 18 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/argent_olive_gertrude_&_albert_harold.jpg 19 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QXJnZW50&g=QWxiZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 20 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I69763 21 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/argent_colin_george.jpg 22 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I433754 4 This Beanland family headstone refers to Henry Beanland who died aged 89 years on 26 May 2005; his wife Marjorie Beanland died aged
63 years on 30 May 1986; their children Dennis Beanland died aged 7 months on 24 Aug 1951; Lorraine Beanland died aged 2 days (1). Searching via Trove shows Dennis Beanland’s date of birth, and his mother’s maiden name: “Beanland (nee Macdonald). On Jan 26, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Marj and Harry, a son (Dennis John). ......” The Advertiser, Saturday 27 January 1951 p22 (2). Lorraine Joy Beanland’s birth and death: “Beanland (nee Macdonald). On October 8, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Marjorie and Harry — a daughter (Lorraine Joy). Lived 12 hours. .....” The Advertiser, Wednesday 12 October 1949 p18 (3). There is no Henry Beanland Marriage Index on GenealogySA, so Trove again to find: Approaching Marriages: Macdonald—Beanland. The marriage of Marjorie Joyce, second daughter of Mrs and the late Mr FG Macdonald, of Smithfield, to Harry, eldest son of Mrs and the late Mr J Beanland, of Kapunda, will be solemnised at St Peter and Paul's Church, Gawler, at 5:30pm, April 27.” The Advertiser, Saturday 20 April 1946 p18 (4). A search for Marjorie Joyce Macdonald on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Marjory[sic] Joyce Macdonald was born on 9 Aug 1923 in Gawler to parents Farancis[sic] George Macdonald and Alice Anne Back (5). An “all Beanland” search on the Marriage Index of GenealogySA shows that a Joseph Beanland was married in 1914 to Catherine Kearin in the Kapunda District (6). Back on RootsWeb, Katie Kerin was born on 12 Jun 1896 at Bakers Flat, near Kapunda SA was born to parents Mortimer Kerin and Mary Sexton (7). Henry Beanland was born on 2 Apr 1916 in Kapunda to parents Joseph Beanland and Catherine Kerin (8), but there was no Joseph Beanland on RootsWeb. A check on the Worls War Two Nominal Roll shows the Joseph Beanland Service Record which says he was born on 14 Apr 1918 in Pt Lincoln SA and was living in Kapunda SA when he enlisted in the Australian Army on 29 Jan 1944 at Mount Martha VIC, with his Next of Kin Kathrine Beanland. Private Beanland was discharged on 30 Jan 1946 from 13 Small Ships Company (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/beanland_henry,_marjorie,_dennis_&_lorraine.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45695360 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/74646337?searchTerm=Lorraine%20Beanland%201949&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35690571?searchTerm=Macdonald%20Beanland&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I579078 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVhbmxhbmQ=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I60654 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I442856 9 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=698263 5 Stanley Roy Best died aged 24 yrs on 3 Jan 1938; his father Maurice George Best died aged 84 yrs on 4 April 1968; Maurice’s wife Winifred Ethelwyn Best died aged 41 yrs on 14 July 1921 (1), having had to rely on the data on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), because of the poor condition of this headstone lettering. I note that the “B” page did not complete the year that Maurice Best died, it looks like 1968 to me. The ‘all Best’ search on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery tells us that on the Memorial Inscriptions Graham Stanley Best died aged 8w in 1942; Maurice C[sic] Best died aged 84y in 1968; Stanley Roy Best died aged 24y in 1938; Winifred Ethelwyn Best died aged 41y in 1921 (3). The Maurice Best Marriage Index on GenealogySA shows that Maurice George Edward Best was married thrice [1] Winnifred Ethelwyn Kelly in 1906 in the Norwood District; [2] Ethel Eliza Payne in 1922 in Adelaide; [3] Esther Jane Pearce in 1925 in Adelaide (4). Searching for SA births at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Stanley Roy Best was born on 9 Jun 1913 nr Kybunga SA to parents Maurice George Edward Best and Winifred Ethelwyn Kelly (5), Maurice George Best was born on 1 May 1883 in Kybunga SA to parents Tom Charles Best and Eva Annie Mayfield (6), Winifred Ethelwyn Kelly was born on 22 Mar 1880 in Riverton SA to parents James Adamson Kelly and Elizabeth Harris Lang (7). We cannot use RootsWeb for Graham Stanley Best, as this SA births site currently only has data up to 1928. So we must look elsewhere to find his date of birth. By using the Trove collection of old newspapers (up to about 1954) we find Graham’s birth notice: “Best (nee Evylyn Sissman). At the Hutchlnson Hospital, Gawler, on June 6, to Mr and Mrs Frank Best, of Roseworthy — a son (Graham Stanley).” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 11 June 1942 p12 (8). And just for completeness, Graham’s death: “Best.—On August 4, at the Children’s Hospital, Graham Stanley, dearly beloved Infant son of Frank and Evelyn Best, of Roseworthy, aged 2 months.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 5 August 1942 p10 (9). His headstone says Graham Stanley died aged 8 weeks on 4th June 1942, son of Frank and Evelyn Best (10). As is clear from the death notice, the date is wrong on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries (2), which says that Graham died on the 6th Aug 1942. This information (except for Graham Stanley Best) can be checked by going to the Best Family records (11), although I haven’t used that site to glean the above information. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/ab/best_stanley_roy,_maurice_george_&_winifred_ethelwyn.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmVzdA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVzdA==&g=TWF1cmljZQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I446018 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I304520 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I58421 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92372288?searchTerm=graham%20stanley%20best&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48877506?searchTerm=graham%20stanley%20best&searchLimits= 10 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/best_graham_stanley.jpg 11 http://records.ancestry.com/Maurice_George_Best_records.ashx?pid=22809156 6 Keith Edmond Bowman died aged 63 yrs on 16 Aug 1971, father of Colin (1). The ‘all Bowman’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1935 Keith Edmund[sic] Bowman married Hyacinth Ruth Thorp in the Gilbert District (2), and the ‘all Bowman’ Death Index shows that when Keith Edmond Bowman died in Gawler in 1971 his nominated relative was his wife Hyacinth Ruth Bowman (3). A search on SA dirths at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people has no Keith Edmond Bowman, but Hyacinth Ruth Thorpe[sic] was born on 9 Dec 1916 in Gawler to parents Henry Thorpe and Lydia Ada Raneberg (4). Unfortunately this is all I can find out on Keith Edmond Bowman, even by extensive trawling on Trove 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bowman_keith_edmond.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qm93bWFu&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Qm93bWFu&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I678464 7 Ronald Brinkworth’s name is just discernible but not his date of death; his wife Ivy Marjorie Brinkworth died 2 Aug 1994 (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery tells us Ronald died 6 Sept 1966 (2). On Gawler Now and Then, Ivy Marjorie
(Tommy) Brinkworth (nee Shemmeld) was born 1902 at Angaston, and died in 1994 (3). The Ivy Shemmeld Birth Index at GenealogySA shows Ivy Marjorie Shemmeld was born 1902 to parents William Shemmeld and Bertha Lehmann in the Angaston District (4). The Ivy Shemmeld Marriage Index shows Ivy Marjorie Shemmeld was married in 1935 to Ronald Brinkworth in Angaston (5). The Ronald Brinkworth Birth Index shows he was born in 1905 to parents Thomas Anglesey Siekmann and Isabel Claire Johnston in the Norwood District (6). The Ronald Brinkworth Death Index shows he died in 1965 (not 1966) in Gawler, the nominated relative his son TK Brinkworth (7). The Ronald Brinkworth search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription saying that he died in 1965 (8). A general Google search for Ronald Brinkworth found a site called Family Tree Maker which discusses this Brinkworth family. “Ronald Brinkworth, the son of Thomas Anglesy Siekmann and Isobelle Claire Johnstone, was born 1905, and died 1965. He married Ivy Marjory Shemmeld. Children of Ronald Brinkworth and Ivy Marjory Shemmeld are [1] Kathleen Jillian Brinkworth b1936; [2] Thomas Kenneth Brinkworth b1937; [3] William Douglas Brinkworth b1939; [4] Peter Ronald Brinkworth b1941 (9). Turning to the SA Births Lists at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ronald Brinkworth was born Ronald Siekmann on 15 Jan 1905 in Norwood, Adelaide to parents Thomas Anglesey Siekmann {born 9 Aug 1875 Saddleworth SA} and Isabel Claire Johnston {born c1877} (10), and Ivy Marjorie Shemmeld was born on 19 Aug 1902 in Angaston to parents William Shemmeld and Bertha Lehmann (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brinkworth_ronald_&_ivy_marjorie.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.gawler.nowandthen.net.au/index.php?title=Brinkworth,_%22Tommy%22_Ivy_Marjory_%28nee_Shemmeld%29 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=U2hlbW1lbGQ=&g=SXZ5&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=U2hlbW1lbGQ=&g=SXZ5&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJpbmt3b3J0aA==&g=Um9uYWxk&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QnJpbmt3b3J0aA==&g=Um9uYWxk&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJpbmt3b3J0aA==&g=Um9uYWxk&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://www.genealogy.com/users/r/y/a/Glenn-Ryan-Vic/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0610.html 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I320017 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I238243 8 Bert Britza was born 5 April 1917 and died 11 March 1986, husband of Sis, father of Des and Daph (1). The ‘all Britza’ search on South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Bert Britza 1986 on the Memorial Inscription but on the Burial Register, Albert John Britza aged 68 (2). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices in the Advertiser has Albert John Britza on 1986-03-13 (3), which is 2 days after Bert Britza died. As a cross-reference, a search of SA births at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian shows that Albert John Britza was born on 5 Apr 1917 in Quorn SA to Frederick Wilhelm Britza and Eliza Agnes Lister (4), the date matching what’s on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/britza_bert.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJpdHph&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I455357 9 Keith Dennis Brown died aged 20 years, son of Ruby and Pat; Peter James Brown lived just 20 hours, son of Irene and Pat (1). Does this imply Pat Brown (male) had been married twice? Or are there several Mr Pat Browns in or around Gawler? “Death: Brown. On October 27, at Gawler, Keith Dennis, dearly loved son of Pat and Ruby Brown, of Main North road, Willaston, aged 20 years. RIP.”The Advertiser, Friday 29 October 1948 p12 (2). This means that Keith Dennis Brown was born c1928. In fact, the Keith Dennis Brown Birth Index confirms his birth in 1928 to parents Patrick Joseph Brown and Ruby Maude Lavis in the Barossa District (3). The ‘all Brown’ Marriage Index shows only one marriage of a Pat and Ruby, and that was the 1925 wedding of Patrick Joseph Brown and Ruby Maude Lavis in the Barossa District (4), which is in the right ballpark for a 1928 birth. Unfortunately there’s not much else about Keith’s date of birth on GenealogySA, nor on Trove. The ‘all Brown’ Marriage Index also shows that no Pat Brown married an Irene on GenealogySA (4). However the Peter Brown Death Index shows that Peter James Brown, son of Patrick Warren Brown, died Gawler 1963 (5). The Patrick Warren Brown Birth Index shows he was born in 1925 to parents Patrick Joseph Brown and Ruby Maude Lavis in the Barossa District (6), this means he was an older brother of Keith Dennis Brown. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Keith Dennis Brown was born on 6 Aug 1928 in Gawler to parents Patrick Joseph Brown and Ruby Maude Lavis (7), but there are no records of the births of Patrick Joseph Brown, nor Ruby Maude Lavis on RootsWeb, so were they born outside SA, or were their births just no officially recorded in those names? 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown_keith_dennis_&_peter_james.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43789001?searchTerm=Keith%20Dennis%20Brown&searchLimits= 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJvd24=&g=S2VpdGggRGVubmlz&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJvd24=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QnJvd24=&g=UGV0ZXI=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJvd24=&g=UGF0cmljayBXYXJyZW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I457834 10 Geo_ _ _ _ _ Brown, 3rd .... is all you can see of this headstone, the rest obscured by a floral tribute that surely could have been moved and replaced after the picture was taken (1). On the George Brown search at South Australia Cemeteries, the only George Brown with a middle name [as this one seems to have] at Willaston Cemetery is George Martin Brown who died aged 67 in 1965 (2). There is another headstone in this photo referring to Walter Brown who died aged 69 years on 24 Aug 1926; his wife Mary Ann (Polly) Brown died aged 62 years on 13 Aug 1929 (1).There is a headstone for George Martin Brown which is identical to the bits you see in (1). So Geo_ _ _ _ _ Brown, 3rd .... is definitely George Martin Brown 3rd son of the above (Walter and Mary Ann), loving father of Jo, who died aged 67 years on 26 Sept 1965. Two photos of the same headstone, so I can safely remove the line for George? seen on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (4). An estimated year of birth for George Martin Brown would be 1965 less 67 yrs, c1898. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people unfortunately doesn’t show George Martin Brown. The fact that he was separated from his wife {apart from her not being mentioned on his headstone} is made clear by: “Convicted Without Penalty: George Martin Brown, of Lyndoch, was convicted without a penalty by Mr HM Muirhead SM, in No 2 Adelaide Police Court today for having been £37 17/- in arrears under an order for the maintenance of a child. Brown said that he had been out of work. Mr JK Alderman of the Children's Welfare and Public Relief Department, prosecuted.” News (Adelaide), Wednesday 26 June 1929 p10 (5). Presumably that child was Jo. The George Brown Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that George Martin Brown
had been married in 1923 to Hilda Gertrude Bishop in the Barossa District (6). If George Martin Brown was the third son of Walter and Mary Ann Brown, he was born as George Edwin Brown b1898 [Note 979]. George Edwin Brown was born on 18 Jul 1898 in Willaston to parents Walter Brown and Mary Ann Carmody (7), but I need some evidence that it is the same person 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown_walter_&_mary_ann_%28polly%29.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJvd24=&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown_george_martin.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/129122898?searchTerm=%22George%20Martin%22%20Brown&searchLimits= 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJvd24=&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I322529 11 The headstone commemorates Alan Reginald Alderson and Margaret Irene Alderson but with no dates nor ages (1). The Alan Alderson Birth Index shows that Alan Reginald Alderson was born in 1926 to parents Leslie Edwin Alderson and Alice Rachel Lihou in the Clare District (2). On GenealogySA, there is no Alan Alderson Marriage Index, and on the ‘all Alderson’ Birth Index, there are no births with a mother named Margaret, so we must seek elsewhere to find Margaret Irene’s maiden name. Using Trove to review old newspaper notices: “Radford-Alderson. The marriage of Margaret, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs CRC Radford, to Alan, youngest son of Mr and Mrs LE Alderson, will be solemnised at the Tod Street Methodist Church, Gawler, on Saturday, October 21, at 4.30pm.” The Advertiser, Monday 16 October 1950 p16 (3). Searching on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we find that Alan Reginald Alderson was born on 21 Oct 1926 in Solomontown SA to parents Leslie Edwin Alderson and Alice Rachel Lihou (4). Still on RootsWeb, a search for Margaret Irene Radford was fruitless, although there was a Margaret Alice and a Margaret Jane Radford (5). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser shows a funeral notice for Alan Reginald Alderson on the 2000-08-26; and one for Margaret Ireene[sic] Alderson on 2000-11-07 (6), so although we don’t know the actual date of death we have a month and year for both. Unfortunately I cannot find Margaret’s year of birth nor her achieved age at death. Gawler Technical School: Scholarships Awarded in January, 1946. John Baker, .................. Margaret Radford, .... Annual Exams 1946: Shorthand I: Pass: Margaret I Radford, ....... Bunyip, Friday 17 January 1947 p1 (7), making her about 16 years old in 1946, so her year of birth would be c1930 (7). Again in the Bunyip, on Friday 18 December 1942 p 1, at the 1942 Gawler Primary School Prize-giving and Concert, qualifying certicate were awarded to about 50 students, one of whom was Margaret Radford, and she was one of 20 students who achieved a Domestic Arts Certificate as well. These are all Grade VII students in 1942 (8), and therefore at least 12 years old, again making her year of birth to be c1930, but too recent to be recorded by GenealogySA or other sites. So a lot of indirect eveidence of a c1930 birth, I cannot be absolutely sure without direct evidence. If I am in the right ballpark, she would have been about 70 years old when she died in 2000AD 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/alderson_alan_reginald_&_margaret_irene.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QWxkZXJzb24=&g=QWxhbg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45658804?searchTerm=margaret%20alan%20alderson&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I425436 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=535901 6 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-A.html 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96849067?searchTerm=Margaret%20Radford&searchLimits=l-title=371 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96692818?searchTerm=Margaret%20Radford&searchLimits=l-title=371 12 This hard to read headstone concerns Maria Augusta Altus who died aged 56 yrs 15 Dec 1952, and her husband Johann Wilhelm Altus who died aged __ on 26 March 1962 (1). I’ve had to rely on the “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery to help me read this, but I disagree with their saying that Johann W died in 1972 (2), it looks more like he died in 1962 to me. An ‘all Altus’ search at GenelogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms that Johann Wilhelm Altus and Maria Augusta Altus are on the Burial Register, with Memorial Inscriptions saying Johann Wilhelm Altus died aged 75 yrs in 1962, and Maria Augusta Altus died aged 59 yrs in 1952 (3). The Johann Altus Marriage Index shows that Johann Wilhelm Altus was married in the Kapunda District in 1918 to Maria Auguste Weiss (4). Going on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, see that Johann Wilhelm Altus was born on 24 Mar 1887 in Petersburg (now Peterborough) SA to parents Johann Ernst Altus (born c1856) and Johanne Auguste Pauline Kernig (born c1862) (5), and Maria Auguste Weiss was born on 21 Aug 1893 in Rosenthal (now Rosedale) SA to parents Rudolph Weiss (born c1848) and Elise (Elise) Caroline Auguste Scheidemantel (born 22 Jul 1854 at sea aboard Vandram) (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/altus_maria_augusta_&_johann_wilhelm.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QWx0dXM=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QWx0dXM=&g=Sm9oYW5u&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I692809 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I379757 13 Thomas Edgar Amos died aged 54 yrs on 28 Feb 1936, husband of Maud Amos (1). The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has his death in 1934 (2), but to me it says 1936. The search of Thomas Amos at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery agrees with me that the Memorial Inscription for Thomas Edgar Amos says he died aged 54y in 1936 (3). The search of Thomas Amos at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery agrees with me that the Memorial Inscription for Thomas Edgar Amos says he died aged 54y in 1936 (3). To confirm this date: “Deaths: Amos. On the 28th February, at Gawler, Thomas Edgar, beloved husband of Maud Amos, of 13 Second street, Gawler South, in his 55th year. Formerly of Salisbury and Balaklava.” The Advertiser, Saturday 29 February 1936 p18 (4). The Thomas Amos Birth Index shows Thomas Edgar Amous[sic] was born in the Port Gawler District in 1881 to parents George Amous and Catherine Chivell (5). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Thomas Edgar Amous[sic] was born on 5 Mar 1881 in Smithfield SA to parents George Amous and Catherine Chivell (6). To show that the surname ‘Amous’ was an error on the Birth Certificate: “Obituary. Mr George Amos, who died at his residence, North Salisbury, on Wednesday, was born at Glasgow in 1851. He came to South Australia with his father in 1854, when 3 years of age, and settled at Glen Osmond, removing to Penfield, where he resided some years, and was married to Miss Caroline Chivell, daughter of Mr James Chivell. He eventually went to Salisbury to live. That was in 1883, and the rest of his life was spent there. Though taking no active part in public matters apart from Church work, he was highly respected for his sterling character. He had been a member of the Methodist Church for over 40 years, and was a trustee of the church for nearly that length of time, being also circuit steward for a considerable period. He won the high respect of all who were associated with him. Of eleven children born to him, four sons survive (Messrs George, Edgar, Spencer, and Arthur Amos; and one daughter (Mrs C Gurney, of Salisbury). Mrs Amos' mother, Mrs James Chivell,
died a few months ago at the age of 96.” The Advertiser, Friday 30 January 1925 p13 (7). This certainly confirms that Thomas Edgar Amos’ parets were of the surname ‘Amos’, not ‘Amous’. The Thomas Amos Marriage Index shows that Thomas Edgar Amos was married twice, his first marriage was to Annie Crawford Ebbs in Adelaide (1910) and then to Maud Roediger in the Gilbert District (1919) (8). The Annie Amos Death Index showing that Annie Crawford Amos had died in 1916 in the Gilbert District (9), 3 years before he married Maud. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/amos_thomas_edgar.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QW1vcw==&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35412529?searchTerm=amos%20thomas%20edgar&searchLimits=l-title=44 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QW1vcw==&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I470636 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43268437?searchTerm=amos%20chivell&searchLimits= 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QW1vcw==&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QW1vcw==&g=QW5uaWU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 14 Gordon A Ames died aged 77 yrs on 10 June 1984, husband of Estella (1). Estella V Ames [formerly O’Halloran nee Lyons] was born 15 June 1905 and died 24 June 1998, wife of Gordon, mother of Pat (2). The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has omitted Estella Ames’ middle initial ‘V’ (3), although clearly shown on the headstone. The Gordon Ames Marriage Index shows that Gordon Alexander Ames was married in the Norwood District in 1935 to Gwendolene Ellen Gwynne (4). The headstone for Gwen Ames who died aged 43 years on 10 Nov 1954, was the wife of Gordon A Ames (5). The Gwen Gwynne Birth Index tells us that Gwendolene Ellen Gwynne was born in 1911 to parents Herbert James Gwynne and Ellen Mary Franklin Riggs in the Barossa District (6). The Gwen Gwynne Birth Index tells us that Gwendolene Ellen Gwynne was born in 1911 to parents Herbert James Gwynne and Ellen Mary Franklin Riggs in the Barossa District [See the Herbert James Gwynne family at Note 670] (6). The Estella Ames search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows on the Burial Register Estella Victoria Ames (7). Using RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we find that Gordon Alexander Ames was born on 15 Sep 1906 in Gawler to parents Albert Henry Ames and Elsie Francis (8), and Gwendolene Ellen Gwynne was born on 11 Sep 1911 in Gawler to parents Herbert James Gwynne and Ellen Mary Franklin Riggs (9). The “All Ames” Birth Index seeking siblings of Gordon Ames we find that to parents Albert Henry Ames and Elsie Francis had [1] Gordon Alexander Ames b1906 in the Barossa District; [2] Thelma Jean Ames b1908 in the Barossa District; [3] Keith Ames b1909 in the Angaston District; [4] Lionel[sic] Albert Henry Ames b1912 in the Angaston District (10).

Ames. On the 7th of November, at his residence, Queen street, Gawler, William John, beloved husband of Sarah Ames, in his 69th year. Arrived in the ship Coldistream on June 5th, 1865. A native of Somersetshire, England.

Louisa Ayling died aged 76 years on 25 Jan 1942; her husband Alfred A Ayling died aged 81 years on 6 Sept 1947; Roy A Ayling died aged 20 years on 21 June 1919; Jean died aged aged 19 years on 21-06-19?? (1). I must admit I have relied heavily on the “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). I’ll need to confirm all the dates somehow. It is interesting that Roy and Jean Ayling died on the same day and month, and although I’m told she died in 1945, I just cannot see how it could say that on the headstone. The “All Ayling” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Memorial Inscriptions for Alfred A Ayling died aged 81 years in 1947; Louisa Ayling was 76y when she died in 1942; Roy A Ayling died aged 20y in 1919 (3). But there was no sign of a Jean Ayling at Willaston Cemetery so far, nor anyone aged 19 years. The Alfred Ayling Birth Index shows Alfred Alarick Ayling was born in 1866 to parents William Ayling and Mary Ann Ward in the Barossa District (4). The Alfred Ayling Marriage Index shows that Alfred Aleric[sic] Ayling was married in 1887 to Louisa Gent in the Barossa District (5). On the LDS site, William Ayling was born in 1832 and died 8 Aug 1903 at Henley Beach SA. He was married 16 May 1854 in Adelaide to Mary Ann Ward b1833. Their children were [1] Charles Ayling born 6 Oct 1855 SA; [2] Henry William Ayling born 19 Jun 1858 Willaston; [3] William James Ayling born 25 Mar 1861 Willaston, died 19 Dec 1862 Willaston; [4] Maria Ayling born 11 Nov 1863 Willaston; [5] Alfred Alaric Ayling born 22 Aug 1866 Willaston; [6] Walter Ayling born 8 Jan 1869 Willaston; [7] Mary Ayling born 7 Jan 1872 Willaston; [8] Sarah Ayling born 21 Feb 1878 Willaston (6). Still using the LDS site, Charles Ayling was married 20 Jun 1878 in Gawler to Ann Causby; Henry William Ayling was married 22 Jul 1880 at Chinkford SA to Emma Margaret Causby; Maria Ayling was married 17 Nov 1887 in Gawler to Edward Whitfield Starling; Alfred Alaric Ayling was married 4 Dec 1887 in Gawler to Louisa Gent; Walter Ayling was married 4 Dec 1890 in Gawler to Julia Ward (7). Whilst searching on Trove for a Jean Ayling, I found this article: “Fatal Railway Accident, Adelaide, June 22. A shocking accident occurred on the railway line near Gawler, on Saturday afternoon, when a luggage train travelling from Roseworthy to Gawler crashed into a motor cycle and side-car, and killed Roy Ayling (20), and Jean Armstrong (19). The young couple, whose bodies were frightfully mutilated, came to grief through the young man apparently misjudging the speed of the approaching train, and attempting to cross the track”. Kalgoorlie Miner, Monday 23 June 1919 p3 (8). So Jean aged 20 was an Armstrong, not Ayling. “Miss Eugenie Armstrong: Miss Eugenie (Jean) Armstrong was one of the victims in the shocking railway accident at Commins’ crossing, Gawler, on Saturday last. As a young girl she proved a bright pupil at the High School, and later followed her studies in Bookkeeping and Shorthand at the Technical School. She was closely connected with the Congregational Church, first as a scholar and afterwards as a teacher, and was the loved Secretary of the Kindergarten Room at the time of her decease. Miss Armstrong was very popular among her girl friends, and her integrity and business acumen won the praise of her employer”. Bunyip, Friday 27 June 1919 (9). The Eugenie Armstrong Death Index confirms her death in 1919, with her nominated relative her father Andrew Philip Armstrong (10). Using RootsWeb, Eugene Armstrong was born on 10 Jan 1901 in Willaston SA to parents Andrew Philip Armstrong and Louisa Ralph (11). Back to the LDS site, Julia Ward was
born 9 Mar 1864 in Walkerville SA to parents Alfred Samuel Ward and Julia Randall. She was married 4 Dec 1890 in Gawler to Walter Ayling. Their children were [1] Montee Muriel Ayling born 22 Jun 1892 Gawler; [2] Linda May Ayling born 16 Oct 1893 Willaston; [3] Clarence Ayling b 19 Jun 1896 Willaston (12). Roy Alaric Ayling was born 19 Sep 1898 nr Willaston to parents Alfred Alaric Ayling (born 22 Aug 1866 Willaston) and Louisa Gent (born 16 Sep 1866 Gawler) (13). The “All Ayling” Marriage Index looking for a bride with first names Violet May and groom’s surname Ayling reveals that in 1920 Violet May Causby married Clarence Ayling (14). According to the RootsWeb site, Violet May Causby was born 24 May 1895 in Willaston SA to parents Thomas George Causby (born 26 Aug 1860 Gawler) and Bessie Gain Selway (born c1865) (15). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/ayling_louisa,_alfred,_roy_a_&_jean.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QXlsaW5n&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QXlsaW5n&g=QWxmcmVk&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QXlsaW5n&g=QWxmcmVk&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I66603&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F16239&tree=SouthAustralia 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92901808?searchTerm=Jean%20Ayling&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/100412928?searchTerm=Jean%20Armstrong&searchLimits=l-title=371 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I21170 11 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QXJtc3Ryb25n&g=RXVnZW5pZQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 12 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I214295&tree=SouthAustralia 13 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I228815&tree=SouthAustralia 14 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QXlsaW5n&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 15 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I319902 17 Adelaide MP Ayling died aged ?? years on 18 ?? 1973, the rest is obscured by a floral tribute that surely could have been temporarily moved before taking the photo. Also recorded here is her husband Frederick C Ayling, who died aged 67 years on the 23rd Oct 1956. They were parents of Gwen and Reg (1). At least the “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery tells us that she died in September, although I’m not sure why there is a question mark over the year 1973, as this seems quite legible (2). The Frederick Ayling Birth Index shows that Frederick Clarence Ayling was married in 1912 to Adelaide Maud Pauline Wait in the Gilbert District (3). To confirm Adelaide Ayling’s date of death, the Savill Index for Funeral Notices in the Advertiser has Adelaide Maud Pauline (Addie) Ayling’s funeral notice on 1973-09-19 (4), so the month and day 18th September seems right. Searching Adelaide Ayling at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription Adelaide MP Ayling which says she died aged 83 years in 1973 (5). The Adelaide Wait Birth Index reveals that Adelaide Maud Pauline Wait was born in 1890 to parents Thomas Sydney Wait and Anne Dorathea Bussenschutt in the Gilbert District (6). On the RootsWeb site, Adelaide Maud Pauline Wait was born on 21 Mar 1890 in German Town SA to parents Thomas Sydney Wait and Anne Dorathea Bussenschutt. Frederick Clarence Ayling (aged 23 yrs, born c1889, single, father was Alfred Alaric Ayling was married in the Methodist Church, Mallala on the 25 Sept 1912 to Adelaide Maud Pauline Wait (aged 22 yrs, born c1890, single, father was Thomas Sydney Wait) (7). Still on RootsWeb, Frederick Clarence Ayling was born c1889, and died 23 Oct 1956 Gawler (8). He has a mention on the Gawler WWI Honour Roll and was awarded the DCM, but his actual date of birth is not given (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/ayling_frederick_c_&_adelaide_m.p..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QXlsaW5n&g=RnJlZGVyaWNr&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-A.html 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QXlsaW5n&g=QWRlbGFpZGU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=V2FpdA==&g=QWRlbGFpZGU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I405196 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I416192 9 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/a.html 18 On their headstone, Vera Bain died 29th October 1959; wife of Henry William Bain who died 5 Dec 1971 (1). The Henry Bain Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1923 Henry William Bain wed Vera Luella Jordan in the Barossa District (2). Turning to RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Henry William Bain was born on 6 May 1898 in Gawler to parents Thomas William Bain and Emily Cundy (3). Still on RootsWeb, Vera Luella Jordan was born 1901 in Evanston, near Gawler to parents Llewellyn Jordan and Eliza Annie Brooks (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bain_vera_&_henry_william.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFpbg==&g=SGVucnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I288889 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I278596 19 Little Son of N&I Bain is all that this headstone says (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says this occurred in 1939 and the father was Norman Bain (2), although from where this extra information came is not explained. The Town of Gawler Council’s website reveals a stillborn child (father Norman Bain from the Barossa Goldfields) was buried 27/02/1939 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 24 K 2 (3). Although the actual date of stillbirth delivery is not known, we can at least say it occurred in February 1939, probably the 26th or 27th. Sadly, Norman Bain also died at a young age, as discussed in this article: “This Ball is for a Different Cause. Sandy Creek is holding a ball on Friday, 24th September ..... to aid the family of the late Mr Norman Bain who died recently. Mr Bain had been an active supporter of projects .... just one of the reasons why Sandy Creek folk wish to help Mrs Iris Bain and her three young children. The park committee will appreciate the attendance of all who can be present at the ball on the 24th and those who wish to make a donation. Some generous offers have already been made to the committee secretary, Mrs Clarice Lee ......” Bunyip, Friday 10 September 1954 p10 (4). The ‘all Bain’ Death Index shows that Norman McLaren Bain died in Gawler in 1954 with his nominated relative his brother HD Bain (5). The ‘all Bain’ Birth Index seeking Norman Bain shows that Norman McLaren Bain was born in the Crawford District in 1906 to parents James Bain and Sarah Jane Chellew (6). This ‘all Bain’ Birth Index is now used to seek all offspring of parents James Bain and Sarah Jane Chellew, which shows that they had 12 children, all born in the Crawford District: [1] Martha Webster Bain b1893; [2] David James Bain b1894; [3] Eva May Bain b1895; [4] Arnold Amos Bain b1897; [5] Olive Sarah Bain b1899; [6] Collan Robert Bain b1901; [7] Horace Donald Bain b1904; [8] Norman McLaren Bain b1906; [9] Violet Mary Bain b1909; [10] Doris Lily Bain b1911; [11] Cecil Herbert Bain b1913; [12] Irene Phyllis Bain b1917 (6), so it was Horace Donald Bain who was the nominated
relative when Norman died. Norman and Iris get engaged: “The engagement is anounced of Miss Iris A Bowden, third daughter of Mr and Mrs JH Bowden, Barossa goldfields, formerly Pitcairn station, to Mr Norman M Bain, fifth son of Mr J Bain, of Williamstown, and the late Mrs Bain.” The Advertiser, Thursday 30 December 1937 p14 (7). Norman and Iris get married: “Bain - Bowden. The marriage of Iris A, third daughter of Mr and Mrs JH Bowden, Barossa, via Cockatoo Valley, and Norman M, fifth son of Mr J Bain and the late Mrs Bain, of Williamstown, was solemnised at Church of Christ, Gawler, by Pastor HR Fitch, on the 9th of July.” The Advertiser, Saturday 23 July 1938 p14 (8). Following the 1939 stillbirth, they have 3 children: [1] a daughter: “Bain (nee Iris Bowden). On the 18th of July, at Dr Dawes's Hospital, Gawler, to Iris, wife of Norman M Bain, of Cockatoo Valley—a daughter.” The Advertiser, Tuesday 23 July 1940 p4 (9); [2] a son: “Bain (nee Bowden). On June 28, at Sister Sutton's Hospital, Gawler, to Iris, wife of Norman M Bain —a son. Thanking Dr Dawes, Sisters Sutton and Kreig.” The Advertiser, Saturday 4 July 1942 p10 (10). ; [3] a daughter: “Bain. On March 2, at Hutchinson Hospital, to Iris, wife of NM Bain— a daughter. Thanking Dr Dawes and staff.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 13 March 1947 p30 (11). Seven years later Norman dies: “Deaths: Bain. On July 27, at Hutchinson Hospital Gawler, Norman McLaren, dearly beloved husband of Iris Bain, of Cockatoo Valley. Aged 47 years.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 28 July 1954 p24 (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bain_little_son.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33456 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96903136?searchTerm=Norman%20Bain&searchLimits=l-title=371 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QmFpbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFpbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36399882?searchTerm=Norman%20Bain%20Iris&searchLimits=l-state=South+Australia 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35599521?searchTerm=Norman%20Bain%20Iris&searchLimits=l-state=South+Australia 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47204988?searchTerm=Sylvia%20Bain%20Gawler&searchLimits= 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48873308?searchTerm=Norman%20Bain%20Iris&searchLimits=l-state=South+Australia 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93342419?searchTerm=Norman%20Bain%20Iris&searchLimits=l-state=South+Australia 12 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48110362?searchTerm=Norman%20Bain%20Iris&searchLimits=l-state=South+Australia 20 Colin Robert Bain died aged 80 yrs on 29 July 1982; his wife Sylvia Maud Bain died aged 71 yrs on 8 July 1983, parents of Patricia, Trevor and Ivan (1). As explained in Note 19, Collan[sic] Robert Bain was born 1901 to parents James Bain and Sarah Jane Chellew. The Colin Bain Marriage Index on GenealogySA shows that Colin Robert Bain was married in the Angaston District in 1933 to Sylvia Maud Hill (2). The RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people website shows that Collan[sic] Robert Bain was born on 28 Oct 1901 at Williamstown SA to parents James Bain and Sarah Jane Chellew (3), but Sylvia Maud Hill does not appear on RootsWeb making it difficult to find when and where she was born. We have the births of their three children [1] Patricia: “Bain (nee Sylvia Hill). On the 17th March, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler to Mr and Mrs CR Bain, of Williams town — a daughter.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 28 March 1935 p45 (4). [2] Trevor: “Bain. On the 2nd of January, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Mr and Mrs Colin Bain, Williamstown —a son (Trevor Colin).” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 18 January 1940 p23 (5). [3] Ivan: “Bain. On August 7, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Sylvia and Col, Williamstown — a son (Ivan Walter). Special thanks to Dr Rice and hospital staff.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 26 August 1948 p36 (6). We even have their daughter Patricia’s engagement: “Bain - Springbett. Mr and Mrs Colin Bain, Williamstown, have much pleasure in announcing the engagement of their only daughter, Patricia Colleen, to David Hugh, eldest son of Mr and Mrs LH Springbett, 'Wilsford,' Gawler.” The Advertiser, Saturday 21 November 1953 p28 (7). But all this doesn’t help find the date or place of birth for Sylvia Maud 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bain_colin_robert_&_sylvia_maud.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFpbg==&g=Q29saW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I288851 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92365749?searchTerm=Sylvia%20Bain%20Gawler&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92385448?searchTerm=Sylvia%20Bain%20Gawler&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93185212?searchTerm=Sylvia%20Bain%20Gawler&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48929931?searchTerm=Sylvia%20Bain%20Gawler&searchLimits= 21 Ada Baker died 20 April 1942; her husband Albert Baker died 12 Aug 1974; the parents of Harvey, Eric and Maxine (1). On the Albert Baker Marriage Index on GenealogySA, the only Albert Baker marriage to an Ada is the 1922 wedding of Albert Laurence Baker and Ada May Curry (2). Albert Laurence Baker, son of Peter Baker and Anna Maria Pauline Kruger, was born in the Barossa in 1896 (3). Ada May Curry, daughter of Thomas Curry and Jane Hall, was born in 1897 (4). So Ada was 45 years old and Albert was 78 years old when they died. As mentioned in Note 23, after Ada’s death in 1942, Albert had remarried prior to his son Harvey Laurence Baker’s death in 1951. According to the LDS website, Albert’s father Peter Baker was born 29 Nov 1866 in Lyndoch SA. Peter’s father was Timothy Baker b1828 Chisledon, Wiltshire, England and died 4 Nov 1889 Lyndoch. Timothy Baker was married 5 May 1854 in the Lyndoch Valley to Peter’s mother Elizabeth Dawes b1833. Peter Baker was married on 10 Jul 1895 at Lyndoch to Anna Maria Pauline Kruger who was born 7 Mar 1872 Walton SA. Peter and Anna Baker’s children included [1] Albert Laurence Baker born 12 Apr 1896 Lyndoch; [2] Ella Gertrude Baker born 25 Oct 1897 Lyndoch; [3] Eva Clarice Baker born 8 Jan 1900 Lyndoch; [4] Vera Marian Baker born 6 Aug 1901 Lyndoch, and died 16 Oct 1902 Lyndoch; [5] Dorothea Petrina Baker born 26 Oct 1903 Lyndoch; [6] At least one more child after this, maybe more (5). On the website of RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Ada May Curry was born on 9 Jan 1897 in Petersburg (now Peterborough) SA to parents Thomas Curry and Jane Hall (6). Still on RootsWeb, Ada’s son Harvey Laurence Baker was born 16 Sep 1924 in Peterborough SA to parents Albert Laurence Baker and Ada May Curry (7), so he died just 2 weeks before his 27th birthday, the husband of Audrey and father of Robert (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baker_ada_&_albert.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFrZXI=&g=QWxiZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFrZXI=&g=QWxiZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3Vycnk=&g=QWRh&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I212964&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I250803 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I437721 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baker_harvey.jpg 22 Harold LC Baker died aged 74 yrs, husband of Ivy (1). Ivy Baker died aged 87 yrs (2). GenealogySA’s Marriage Index does not show a Harold LC Baker marriage (3). According to Ancestry.com, Harold Baker was born 7 Mar 1910 to parents Robert Herbert Baker [1881-
1924] and Maude Cottrell [b1881]. Harold married Eileen Rosina Howard and had a child. Harold married again to Ivy Steele [b1910, died 23 Feb 1997]. He died on 12 Dec 1984 in Gawler (4). Also on Ancestry.com, Eileen Rosina Howard was born in Broken Hill NSW on 6 May 1913. Eileen Rosina married Harold Baker. She died on 5 Oct 1985 in Northfield, Adelaide SA (5). GenealogySA does show on the Marriage Index that Harold Baker was married in 1933 to Eileen Rosena Howard in Adelaide (6), but there’s no mention of his subsequent marriage to Ivy Steele. The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices has one for Harold Leonard Baker on 1984-12-13 (7), and a search of Harold Baker at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser names him Harold Leonard Cottrell Baker [1984] (8). This confirms that the data is reasonable, as on Ancestery.com Cottrell was his mother’s maiden name (4). Eileen Rosina Howard and Harold LC Baker divorced 1950: “Orders nisi for divorce were granted by Mr Acting Justice Paine in the Supreme Court today in the following undefended actions: Harold Baker, dairyman, of Findon road, Woodville, against Eileen Rosena Baker, of Carrington street, Adelaide, for desertion.” News (Adelaide), Thursday 16 February 1950 p2 (9). I cannot find the subsequent marriage of Harold and Ivy but Trove only goes up to 1954 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baker_harold_l.c..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baker_ivy.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFrZXI=&g=SGFyb2xk&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://records.ancestry.com/Harold_Baker_records.ashx?pid=50851726 5 http://records.ancestry.com.au/eileen_rosina_howard_records.ashx?pid=50856300 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFrZXI=&g=SGFyb2xk&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QmFrZXI=&g=SGFyb2xk&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/130796298?searchTerm=Harold%20Baker%20divorce&searchLimits= 23 Harvey Baker died 2 Sept 1951, husband of Audrey Baker, father of Robert (1). The Harvey Baker Birth Index shows that Harvey Laurence Baker born in 1924 to Albert Laurence Baker and Ada May Baker nee Curry [see Note 21] in the Frome District (2). The Harvey Baker search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Harvey Laurence Baker on the Burial Register, and on the Memorial Inscription, Harvey Baker died in 1951 (3). I cannot find any details of a wedding between Harvey and Audrey on GenealogySA. “In Memoriam: Baker. Fondest memories of Harvey, our dearly loved husband and daddy. Accidentally killed September 2, 1951. Forever in our hearts. Sadly missed by Aud and Bobby”. “Baker. In loving memory of dear Harvey, who passed away September 2, 1951. His memory will live forever in our hearts. Lovingly remembered stepmother, father, Eric and Maxine”. Both are from the Advertiser, Wednesday 2 September 1953 p22 (4). “Tragic Shooting Accident on Sunday. Harvey Laurence Baker, eldest son of Mr AL and the late Mrs Baker, of Barnet Street, Evanston, died shortly after a tragic shooting accident which occurred on Sunday afternoon. With his wife and friends he was a member of a party out shooting rabbits near Mindarie where he was teacher in charge of the local school. It is understood he was carry ing the rifle (.22 calibre) by its barrel when it discharged, the bullet entering his body and causing fatal injuries. He died whilst being taken by car to the nearest medical aid. Harvey was married only a few years ago and has a son aged nearly 4”. Bunyip, Friday 7 September 1951 p1 (5). “Deaths: Baker. On September 2, at Loxton Hospital (result of accident), Harvey Laurence, the beloved husband of Audrey Baker, of Schoolhouse, Mindarie, and loved father of Bobbie. Eldest son of Albert and the late Ada Baker, of Gawler, and loving brother of Eric and Maxine. Aged 26 years”.

The Percy Baker Death Index shows that Percy Henry Edmund Baker died in Gawler 1955, with nominated relative his wife LA Baker (2). The Percy Baker Birth Index tells us that Percy Henry Edmund Baker was born in the Kapunda District in 1885 to parents Edmond Baker and Alice Boun (3). There is no Percy Henry Marriage Index but an “all Baker” Birth Index for children of Percy Henry Edmund Baker and Lily A shows that Percy Henry Edmund (or Percy Henry Edword, or Edward) and Lily Alice Brown had at least 5 children [1] Edmund Percy Baker b1910; [2] Doris Annie Baker b1912; [3] Thelma May Baker b1914; [4] Mavis Laura Baker b1917; [5] Joan Merle Baker b1927 (4). There was no Percy Henry Baker on the LDS website, but there was Lily Alice Brown who was born 8 Mar 1886 at South Hummocks SA. Her father was Robert Brown born c1855, and died 18 Sep 1891 at Willamulka SA. Her mother was Caroline Henriette Doris Antonie Wurfel born 24 Jun 1857 Klemzig SA (5). On the RootsWeb site, Percy Henry Edmund Baker (or Percy Henry Edmond) Baker was born on 13 Mar 1885 in Eudunda SA to parents Edmond Baker and Alice Boun (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baker_percy_h_&_lily_a.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QmFrZXI=&g=UGVyY3k=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFrZXI=&g=UGVyY3k=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFrZXI=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I197073&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I280975 25 Emma H Argent died aged 79 years on 26 June 1947, wife of W John Argent (1). There is a second headstone memorial for Emma H Argent, with the same age of 79 years at her death on 26 June 1947; and her husband William J Argent who died aged 83 years on 18 Nov 1957 (2). I have combined the two memorials, although this may not be desirable as a headstone record. The William Argent Marriage Index shows that William John Argent and Emma Henrietta Driesener were married in 1897 (3). Turning to RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we find that William John Argent was born on 26 Jun 1874 in Wards Belt SA to parents William James Argent (born 29 Mar 1852 Dry Creek SA) and Margaret Adair (born 8 Mar 1849 Peachy Belt SA). William John Argent last resided in Freeling before he died aged 83 yrs on 17 Nov 1957 in Gawler (4). Still on RootsWeb, Emma Henrietta Driesener was born on Emma Henrietta Driesner[sic] was born on 28 Dec 1867 in Gawler River to parents Carl Johann Gottlieb Driesner and Rebbecca Henrietta Schnaars (5). Vera May Argent was born 16 May 1901 and died 3 Aug 1983; her husband Walter Adair Argent was born 12 July 1903 and died 22 Feb 1984, parents of Rita and Cedric (6). The Walter Argent Marriage Index shows that Walter Adair Argent was married in 1928 in the Nairne District to Vera May Bell (7). Walter Adair Argent was born on 12 Jul 1903 in Bertha (now Willaston) SA to parents William John Argent and Emma Henrietta Driesener (8), and Vera May Bell was born on 16 May 1901 in Prospect Hill SA to parents George Thomas Bell and Agnes Louisa Charity Keen (9).

A search of Francis Arnold at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Francis Douglas Arnold aged 79 years on the Burial Register (2). The Francis Arnold Marriage Index shows that Francis Douglas Arnold was married in the Barossa District in 1926 to Annie Myrtle Pollard (3). Annie Myrtle (Anne) Arnold was born 21 April 1904 and died on 12 Aug 1991, wife of Frank Arnold, mother of Maureen, Nancy and Jillian (4). The Francis Arnold Birth Index shows that Francis Douglas Arnold was born in 1901 to parents Alfred James Arnold and Grace Alice Marshall in the Port Adelaide District (5). The ‘all Arnold’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Alfred James Arnold and Grace Alice Marshall, we find 5 children [1] James Edward Arnold b1900 in the Port Adelaide District; [2] Francis Douglas Arnold b1901 in the Port Adelaide District; [3] Nellie Arnold b1905 in the Barossa District; [4] Isabel Grace Arnold b1908 in the Barossa District; [5] Ronald Marshall Arnold b1913 in the Barossa District (6). On the LDS website, James Alfred Arnold was born in 1867 to father James Arnold. James Alfred Arnold was married on 30 Dec 1897 at Templers SA to Grace Alice Marshall born 11 Jul 1870 Templers. Their children included [1] James Edward Arnold born 8 Sep 1900 Queenstown SA; [2] Francis Douglas Arnold born 9 Sep 1901 Queenstown; [3] “Living” children (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/arnold_francis_d.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QXJub2xk&g=RnJhbmNpcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QXJub2xk&g=RnJhbmNpcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/arnold_annie_myrtle.jpg 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QXJub2xk&g=RnJhbmNpcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QXJub2xk&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I26075&tree=SouthAustralia 27 Neville Wayne Atkinson was born 17 Sept 1949; he died aged 58 years 16 Aug 2008; husband of Janet. The headstone just says he died “08” (1). The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he was born in 1908 (2), but as he wasn’t born till 1949, he must have died 2008, not 1908. In case he wasn’t born in 1949, but in 1849, the Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices has one for Neville Wayne (Chubb) Atkinson on 2008-08-27 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/atkinson_neville_wayne.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-A.html 28 Winnie Graham Alexander died 19 April 1910, Margaret Graham Alexander died aged 74 years on 17 Nov 1914 (1). According to data on the LDS website, Margaret Graham was born in 1841 and died 17 Nov 1914 in Gawler SA. She was married aged 18 years on 23 Sep 1859 at Yattalunga SA to John Alexander aged 26 years, who was born in 1833. Their children included [1] Hugh Alexander b1856; [2] Margaret Alexander born 27 Apr 1860 Gawler Hills, died 27 Apr 1860 Gawler Hills; [3] John Alexander Alexander born 10 Mar 1862 Gawler Hills; [4] Thomas Graham Alexander born 14 Sep 1864 One Tree Hill; [5] William Alexander born 28 Mar 1866 Munno Para; [6] Alexander John Alexander born 25 Mar 1868 One Tree Hill; [7] Andrew Walker Alexander born 11 Sep 1869 One Tree Hill; [8] Mary Alexander born 23 Jan 1871 One Tree Hill; [9] James Douglas Alexander born 4 Mar 1874 One Tree Hill; [10] Winnie Alexander born 23 May 1876 One Tree Hill; [11] Charles Norman Alexander born 1879; [12] Margaret Graham Alexander born 28 Aug 1886 Gawler Park (2).

On their headstone, Lottie Alexander was born 1876 or 1878 and died 1918, her husband James Douglas Alexander born 1874, died in 1950; Jessie Mary Alexander was born 1885 and died 1971 (4). The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Lottie Alexander was born in 1875 (5), but it looks more like 1876, or even 1878 on the headstone. On the LDS website, Charlotte Ann Day was born on 17 Apr 1878 at Reeves Plains SA to parents Richard Day (born 12 Dec 1844 Tam O'Shanter Belt SA) and Eliza Ann Folland (born 5 May 1844 Pine Forest SA), who were married on 6 Apr 1865 in Pine Forest. Charlotte Ann Day was married on 1 Sep 1905 at Woolsheds SA to James Douglas Alexander born 4 Mar 1874 One Tree Hill (6). Lottie shown to be Charlotte Ann: “Marriage: Alexander—Day. On September 1st, at the Woolsheds Methodist Church, Wasleys, by the Rev J Nicholls, James Douglas, sixth son of John Alexander, 'Kainga’, Gawler, to Charlotte Ann (Lottie), third daughter of Richard Day, 'Willa Mann' Reeves Plains.” Bunyip, Friday 20 October 1905 p2 (7).

On August 11, at his residence, 8 Blanche street, Gawler, James Douglas, beloved husband of Jessie Mary Alexander and loved father of Douglas and Margaret.” The Advertiser, Monday 14 August 1950 p18 (10). The James Alexander Marriage Index shows that James Douglas Alexander was married in 1929 to Jessie Mary Shepherd in the Barossa District (11). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people for Jessie Mary Shepherd shows her birth on 9 Apr 1885 in Head of Hart SA to parents William Henry Sheperd[sic] and Mary Anne Kerr (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/alexander_winnie_graham_&_margaret_graham.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I218089&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F67635&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/alexander_lottie,_james_douglas_&_jessie_mary.jpg 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I61948&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97602424?searchTerm=Lottie%20Alexander&searchLimits=l-title=371

The Edgar Alford Birth Index shows that Edgar Claude Alford was born in 1889 to Mathew Alford and Mary Ann Heithersay in the Clare District (2). On the RootsWeb website, Edgar Claude Alford was born 24 July 1889 Yongala SA, and died 30 April 1965 (3). On the Edgar Alford Marriage Index we find that Edgar Claude Alford married Ethel Blanche Watkins in the Wellington District in 1909 (4). Again on the RootsWeb website, Ethel Blanche Watkins was born 9 Sep 1890 in Coglin, Near Nackara SA to parents Thomas Watkins and Elizabeth Emilly Ind (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/alford_ethel_blanche_&_edgar_claude.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QWxmb3Jk&g=RWRnYXI=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=cheek1&recno=3260 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QWxmb3Jk&g=RWRnYXI=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I375022 30 Ilario Cavallaro died aged 56 years on 1 June 1953, husband of Teresa Cavallaro (1). Maria Teresa Cavallaro died aged 77 years on 24 Sept 1971, wife og Ilario, mother of Maria, Nicola, Vincenzo, ???? and Angela (2). So Teresa Cavallaro is also known as Maria Teresa Cavallaro. Nicolangelo Cavallaro was born 17 March 1923 and died 17 Nov 1999, husband of Teresa, parent of Larry, Jennifer and Nola (3). Maria Teresa wife of Ilario would have been born c1894, and Nicolangelo husband of Teresa was born in 1923, a gap of almost 30 years, making it likely that there were two serarate wives with the name Teresa Cavallaro. The ‘all Cavallaro’ search at South Australia Cemeteries shows Memorial Inscriptions for 5 different Cavallaro burials at Cheltenham Cemetery, and one Cavallaro in Two Wells Cemetery and two Cavallaro burials at Willaston Cemetery: Ilario Cavallaro who died aged 56y in 1953, and Maria Teresa Cavallaro who died aged 77y in 1971, but no sign of Nicolangelo Cavallaro (4). There are scant records for birth or marriage details, so presumably the Cavallaro family was born interstate or overseas. There have been several similar notices to this one: “Naturalisation Notice: I, Ilario Cavallaro, of Italian nationality, born at San Nicola di Caulonia, in the province of Calabria, and resident five years in Australia, now residing at Redlynch, via Cairns, intend to apply for naturalisation under the “Commonwealth Nationality Act 1920-25”. Ilario Cavallaro.” Cairns Post, Thursday 30 January 1930 p1 (5), and it seems Ilario was popular as a first name in those days. There was yet another Ilario in SA: “On Thursday night, Ilario Cavallaro, of Lockleys, celebrated his twenty-first birthday at a dance in the Druid's Hall, Torrensville” News (Adelaide), Saturday 17 May 1952 p9 (6). The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices has 52 Cavallaro entries for the combined periods 1971 – 1990 and 1997 – 2013 (a total of 48 years) showing 5 Ilario’s [Larry], 6 Maria’s and only 2 Teresa’s. However we did at least find the correct Nicolangelo (Nick) Cavallaro Funeral Notice on 18 Nov 1999 (7). On the Town of Gawler’s Burial Register for Willaston Cemetery, Ilario Cavallaro aged 56 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 3 June 1953 in Plot/Grave/Niche 29 E 3, with Father Mulkerrin officiating (8). Searching for Ilario Cavallaro on the National Archives of Australia website shows that he was naturalised on 26 April 1940. He was born in Caulonia, Italy on 6 June 1896 and in 1940 he was living in MacKay, Qld with his wife Maria Teresa Cavallaro and their son Nicolangelo Cavallaro (born 1923). They had arrived in Port Pirie aboard MN Romolo on 3 June 1934 (9), but no further detail is forthcoming on Maria Teresa Cavallaro. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cavallaro_ilario.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cavallaro_maria_teresa.jpg 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cavallaro_nicolangelo.jpg 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2F2YWxsYXJv&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/41038754?searchTerm=Ilario%20Cavallaro&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/130277546?searchTerm=Ilario%20Cavallaro&searchLimits= 7 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34378 9 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/ItemsListing.aspx 31 Ann Raby Allen was born at Tresamble, Cornwall (c1823) and died aged 55 years on 26 Feb 1878 at Nelshaby, Port Pirie; her husband William Allen died aged 72 years on 15 Feb 1898; and their son James died aged 49 years on 19th March 1904 (1). The Ann Allen Death Index shows that when Ann Rabey[sic] Allan[sic] died in 1878 in the Clare District, the nominated relative was her husband William Allan (2). A search of Ann Allen at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries shows that Anne R Allen aged 55y is on Port Pirie Cemetery’s Burial Register, although her Memorial Inscription saying Ann Raby Allen aged 55y died in 1878 is at Willaston Cemetery (3). She is buried in Port Pirie. Ann Raby Allen’s Death Notice: “Death: Allen. On the 26th February, while on a visit to her son-in-law, W Harris Esq, Nelshaby, near Port Pirie, Ann Raby, the beloved wife of Wm Allen, tutor, Gawler, aged 55 years.” The South Australian Advertiser, Saturday 2 March 1878 p4 (4). On the Port Pirie Council website, Anne R Allen aged 55 who last resided at Nelshaby was buried 27/02/1878 in Port Pirie Cemetery’sprotestant Reserve A Section, with Rev Thomas officiating (5). The William Allen search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms on the Burial Register and Memorial Inscription that William ALLEN died aged 72y in 1893 (6), and a similar search for James Allen shows he died aged 49 years in 1904 (7). William Allen’s Obituary: “The Late Mr William Allen. On Wednesday, February 15, Mr William Allen, an old resident of Gawler, passed over to the great majority after an illness of a few weeks' duration. The deceased gentleman had been in business in Gawler for nearly thirty years, and was a well known identity. He was 71 years of age.” South Australian Register, Tuesday 21 February 1893 p3 (8). On Gawler Council’s website, James Allen from Crystal Brook died 19/03/1904 and was buried 21/03/1904 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 32 A 4, with Rev CH Nield officiating (9). James Allen’s Death Notice: “Allen. On the 19th March, at Milcowie, Crystal Brook, James, the elder son of the late William Allen, of Gawler.” The Advertiser, Thursday 24 March 1904 p4 (10). Despite their well documented demises, ther are no records available for their births. No doubt these family members were born before the family came to SA, probably in the early 1860s {nearly 30 years before 1893}. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/allen_ann_raby,_william_&_james.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QWxsZW4=&g=QW5u&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QWxsZW4=&g=QW5u&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29599798?searchTerm=ann%20allen%20nelshaby&searchLimits= 5 http://www.pirie.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=71478#.U7HpvkB9Ia8 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QWxsZW4=&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA==

The Harry Ames Birth Index says that Harry Ames was born in 1899 to Herbert Ames and Isabella Margaret Thompson in Adelaide (3). But there’s no other detail for Harry Ames at GenealogySA [under that name]. There is a mention of Elsie Ames in the Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser in 1977 (4), but there’s no other detail on Elsie Ames at GenealogySA, nor on the Savill Index. Harry Ames b1899 is not a brother of Gordon and Lional Ames whose parents were Albert Henry Ames and Elsie Francis – see Note 14. It might be tempting to suggest that Albert Henry Ames could be called Harry, and was the husband of an Elsie [shares the headstone], but Albert Henry Ames was born in 1882 to parents William Ames and Sarah Bartlett [see Note 33 for William John Ames and his wife Sarah] (5). On the LDS site, Harry Ames was born 18 Sep 1899 Parkside SA. His father was Herbert Ames (born 8 Mar 1874 Dairy Flat nr Yankalilla) and his mother was Isabella Margaret Thompson (b1876), who had married in Parkside on 23 Jun 1894 (6). Albert Henry Ames is on the Burial Register at Willaston Cemetery, but doesn’t appear to have a memorial inscription, so maybe Elsie Ames nee Francis had her name added to Harry’s. But I think the headstone implies at least Harry and Elsie were married, and this was not Elsie Ames nee Francis. Albert Henry Ames married Elsie Francis in 1905 (7), and their children were [1] Gordon Alexander Ames b1906; [2] Thelma Jean Ames b1908; [3] Keith Ames b1909; [4] Lionel Albert Henry Ames b1912; [5] Albert Henry Lionel Ames b1912 (8). These last two may have been twins or just a double entry with a variation of the order of names. Albert Henry Ames died in 1959 (9), same as Harry Ames, but Albert Henry was born in 1882 (5), making his age 77 years when he died. The Elsie Francis Birth Index has two Elsie Francis nominations, neither of whom could have married in 1905. The only other possible at GenealogySA is Elsie Francess[sic] who was born in 1884 to parents Alexander Francess and Sarah Jane (fmly) Groves (nee) Masters in the Barossa District (10). There’s not enough evidence to add further details to Elsie Ames’s details. We need to confirm which Elsie she is, and for that, we need to actually see the Burial Register Details. http://www.findmypast.com.au/articles/world-records/full-list-ofaustralia-and-new-zealand-records/life-events-bdms 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/ames_harry_&_elsie.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QW1lcw==&g=SGFycnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QW1lcw==&g=RWxzaWU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QW1lcw==&g=QWxiZXJ0IEhlbnJ5&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I221371&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RnJhbmNpcw==&g=RwxzaWU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QWltZXM=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QW1lcw==&g=QWxiZXJ0IEhlbnJ5&c=&y=&r=MA== 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RnJhbmNpcw==&g=RWxzaWU=&c=&y=&r=MA== William J Ames died aged 68 years on 7 Nov 1913; his wife Sarah died aged 88 years on 15 June 1927 (1). William’s Death: “Ames. On the 7th of November, at his residence, Queen street, Gawlet, William John, beloved husband of Sarah Ames, in his 69th year. Arrived in the ship Coldstream on June 5th, 1865, a native of Somersetshire, England”. Bunyip, Friday 14 November 1913 p2 (2). Sarah’s Death: “Ames. On the 15th June, at her late residence, Queen Street, North Gawler, Sarah, relict of Wm J Ames, aged 88 years”. Bunyip, Friday 17 June 1927 p5 (3). On the Town of Gawler Website, William John Ames aged 68 years who last resided in Gawler died 7/11/1913 and was buried 8/11/1913 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 30B N 2, with Rev STC Best officiating (4). Sarah Ames aged 88 years who last resided in Gawler died 15/06/1927 and was buried 16/06/1927 Willaston Cemetery in the same Plot/Grave/Niche 30B N 2, with Rev IP Wood officiating (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/ames_william_j_&_sarah.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97568349?searchTerm=Ames&searchLimits= 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96676018?searchTerm=Ames&searchLimits= 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32046 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31198 Alexander FS Banks died aged 81 years on 24 April 1963; Martha Banks died aged 58 years on 9 July 1948. She was the wife of Alec Banks, presumably Alexander FS Banks as they share the headstone and grave (1). On the LDS website, Alexander Frederick Seymour Banks was born 18 Apr 1883 Kapunda SA. His father was Frederick Charles Gordon Banks b1838 who died 26 Jul 1910 Kapunda, and had married, on 16 Mar 1881 in Kapunda, Alexander’s mother Susanna Thomas b1858. Alexander Frederick Seymour Banks was married on 5 Nov 1910 in Kapunda to Anna Auguste Martha Kraft born 27 Nov 1889 Nuriootpa (2). On a separate headstone, Frederick Charles Banks was born 22 Aug 1913, and died 18 Oct 1999; his wife Dorothy Melba Banks was born 3 May 1913, and died 23 July 2004; parents of Josie, Barry, John and Lorraine (3). The Frederick Banks Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Frederick Charles Banks was married in 1937 to Dorothy Melba Parish in the Kapunda District (4). A search on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, shows that Frederick Charles Banks shows that he was born on 22 Aug 1913 in Kapunda to parents Alexander Frederick Seymour Banks and Anna Augusta Martha Kraft (5), making him the son of the couple described above. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/banks_martha_&_alexanader_f.s..jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I119576&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/banks_frederick_charles_&_dorothy_melba.jpg 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFua3M=&g=RnJlZGVyaWNr&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I438594 Rose Baker has a very difficult to read headstone, but we can see she died aged 59 years. Her husband Edward Ernest Baker died aged 80 years on 10 March 1934 (1). An ‘all Baker” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription that says Rose Baker died in 1920 aged 59 years, but the Burial Register names her Rosa Baker (2). The “all Baker” Birth Index searching for children of Edward Ernest Baker and Rose reveals that Edward Ernest Baker and Rosey [or Rosie] O’Connell had six children, the first four in the Frome District, then the last two in the Flinders District: [1] Edward Ernest Clem Baker b1884; [2] Percy James Baker b1885; [3] Margaret Baker b1886; [4] Stanley Baker b1888; [5] Harry Baker b1891; [6] Bernard Baker b1896 (3). There is no Rosey O’Connell Birth Index at GenealogySA, but the Marriage Index shows Rosey O’Connell married Edward Ernest Baker in 1883 in the Frome District (4). We
ascertain Rosey’s day of death: “Death: Baker. On the 5th April, at Elizabeth street, Gawler South, Rosa, the beloved wife of Edward (Ernest) E Baker, late of Mount Gambier.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 17 April 1920 p27 (5). The Town of Gawler’s website reveals that Rosa Baker aged 59 years who last resided in Norwood was buried 10/04/1920 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 42 Q 3, with Father Maher officiating (6). Edward Ernest Baker aged 80 years who last resided in Gawler South was buried 12/03/1934 Willaston Cemetery in the reopened Plot/Grave/Niche 42 Q 3, with Rev Dyson officiating (7). The website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people has neither Edward Ernest Baker nor Rosey O’Connell, implying that both may have been born outside SA. However the LDS website has an Ernest Edward Baker who was born on 27 Nov 1853 in Stepney SA to parents Edward Baker (born c1827 Middlesex, England, died 26 Nov 1900 North Adelaide SA) and Maria Pool (born c1830), who were married on 10 May 1851 at Port Adelaide (8). On RootsWeb, there is a Rosey Connell who was born on 18 Jul 1858 in Lower Wakefield SA to parents Michael Connell and Margaret Ward (9). On GenealogySA’s Marriage Index Michael Connell was married in 1853 to Margaret Ward in Adelaide (10. On the Michael Connell Death Index it shows a Michael Connell died in the Frome District in 1876 (11). The ‘all Connell’ Birth Index on GenealogySA shows two births, both in the Gilbert District [1] Rosey Connoll b1858 to parents Michael Connoll and Margaret Ward; [2] Honora Connel b1860 to parents Michael Connel and Margaret Ward (12). There were no suitable births on the ‘all O’Connell’ Birth Index on GenealogySA, and on the ‘all Peddle’ Birth Index, we find a Walter Peddel b1870 to parents Walter Peddel and Margret Ward in the Upper Wakefield District (13). I included the surname “Peddle” because of the following notice: “Marriages: Baker—O'Connell. On the 20th June, at Port Germein, by the Rev WT Isaac, Edward Ernest (trooper at Port Germein), eldest son of Edward Baker Esq, of Blythwood Hotel, Mitcham, to Rosey, the third daughter of Mrs Peddle, of Port Pirie.” South Australian Register, Wednesday 4 July 1883 Supplement p2 (14). So I think that the “O” in “O’Connor” has been optional, and this is the same Rosey that was born as a Connell. Furthermore, “Marriages: Willis—O'Connell. On the 31st January, at St Anacletus's Church, Petersburg, by the Rev Father Norton, James Alfred, second son of Stephen James Willis, farmer, Dalkey, to Margaret (Maggie), youngest daughter of Mrs Peddle, Port Pirie.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 28 March 1894 p4 (15). This means that Mrs Peddle, who we’ll see below was named Margaret, had at least 4 daughters and possibly more than one son. Margaret Peddle: “Fire at Port Pirie. On Friday, October 15, Dr Stewart JP, held an inquest at Magor's Hotel into the cause of the fire which destroyed Mrs Peddle's boarding house, on the morning of Thursday last. Mr George Millbank was foreman of the Jury. Mr HE Turner watched tbe proceedings on behalf of the Insurance Company, and Mr AG Pollitt acted for Mrs Peddle. The following was the evidence: Margaret Peddle said she was a boarding-house keeper, and it was her house that was burnt. Her daughter told her the house was on fire, and it was then in flames. That was about 1 a.m. .....” South Australian Register, Thursday 21 October 1880 Supplement p2 (16). So Mrs Margaret Peddle (maiden name Ward) had at least 4 daughters surnamed O’Connell, and had at least one more child with Mr Walter “Peddel”. It’s a tempting story but needs just a little more proof before I’ll claim that Rosey was born on 18 July 1858. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baker_rose_&_edward_ernest.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmFrZXI=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFrZXI=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmFrZXI=&g=Um9zZQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87447160?searchTerm=Rosa%20Baker%20Edward%20Ernest&searchLimits=l-title=291 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32390 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33027 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I212988&tree=SouthAustralia 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I120314 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29ubmVsbA==&g=TWljaGFlbA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 11 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q29ubmVsbA==&g=TWljaGFlbA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 12 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29ubmVsbA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 13 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=UGVkZGxl&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 14 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43471904?searchTerm=Rosey%20Connell%20Baker&searchLimits= 15 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/25682250?searchTerm=O%27Connell%20Peddle%20Port%20Pirie&searchLimits= 16 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43145090?searchTerm=Peddle%20Port%20Pirie&searchLimits= 36 William Baker died 14 June 1946 aged 73; his wife Mary died aged 76 years 3 Aug 19?? (1). This headstone is very hard to read and I have been helped by the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). A search of William Baker at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms that William Baker was 73y when he died in 1946 (3). The Mary Baker search at the same site confirms that Mary Baker was 76 years old when she died in 1957 (4). This means that their respective years of birth are c1873 and c1881. The William Baker Marriage Index shows many William Bakers marrying many Marys but only one later than 1897 when Mary Baker would have been 16 yrs old. William Baker and Mary Mahoney were married in the Barossa District in 1901 (5). “Deaths: Baker. On June 14, at his residence, "Pott's Farm," Adelaide road, Gawler, William, beloved husband of Mary Baker, in his 74th year. Requiescat in pace.” The Advertiser, Saturday 15 June 1946 p18 (6). Unfortunately they don’t seem to have middle names, making identifying the correct people much harder. The ‘all Baker’ Birth Index on GenealogySA seeking offspring of parents William Baker and Mary ___, only if their first child is born in 1896 or later shows 3 possible families. {1} The Francis William Baker and Edith Mary Elizabeth Burnard family had 4 children, mainly in the Norwood District: [1] William Loveday Baker b1902; [2] Marjory Burnard Baker b1904; [3] Viola Sadgrove Baker b1906; [4] Bertram Stoddon Baker b1910. {2} Leslie Lyall Baker was b1918 to parents Leslie William Baker and Mary Eadie Lawson in the Norwood District. {3} The William Baker and Mary Mahoney family seems most likely, as thedir children were born in the Barossa/ Port Gawler Districts, and the parents have no middle names, the children were [1] Edith Mary Baker b1909; [2] William Thomas Baker b1910; [3] Dorothy Isabel Baker b1912; [4] John Melville Baker b1915; [5] Vincent Baker b1917; [6] Laurence Baker b1919; [7] Morris Baker b1921; [8] Myra June Baker b1924 (7). Still this is just a postulation, we need some more facts to prove it correct, such as dates of birth, or Mary’s definite maiden name. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baker_william_&_mary.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmFrZXI=&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmFrZXI=&g=TWFyeQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFrZXI=&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35699871?searchTerm=William%20Baker%20Mary&searchLimits= 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFrZXI=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 37 Christina Bald died aged 64 years 24 March 1872; her husband Robert Bald died 90 years (and 9 months) on 23 Sept 1894 (1).

data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Christina Bald with her husband Robert’s age and date of death, she died aged 64 years in 1872, and Robert has her details (2). On the LDS site, Robert Bald was born in 1804 Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland and died 23 Sep 1894 Smithfield SA. He was married before 1832 in Scotland to Christian or Christina Hunter born c1807 Dunfermline, and died 24 Mar 1872 Gawler Plains SA. They arrived in South Australia 1849 on the Stebonheath. By occupation he was a weaver, farmer, and grazier who resided in Smithfield, and Gawler Plains. Their children, all born in Dunfermline were [1] James William Bald b 22 Oct 1832, died 17 Jun 1919 Prospect SA; [2] William Bald b1833, died 19 Aug 1920 SA; [3] Robert Bald born 19 Oct 1834, died 5 Nov 1897 Adelaide; [4] Christina Lindsay nee Bald b1837, died 1908 SA; [5] George Bald born 21 Mar 1839, died 25 Nov 1917 SA (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bald_christina_&_robert.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I212791&tree=SouthAustralia Ann Bald died 3 Feb 1898; Robert Bald died 5 Nov 1897 (1). An ”all Bald” search of South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows an Anne Bald on the Burial Register and an Ann Bald died in 1898 on a Memorial Inscription. There are 2 Robert Balds on the Willaston Cemetery Burial Register, and 3 with Memorial Inscriptions: [1] Robert Bald d1952; [2] Robert Bald d1894 at 90y 9m; [3] Robert Bald d1897 (2). This has only been helpful to confirm that the year of death in each was correct, and they probably didn’t have middle names. On the Robert Bald Marriage Index, the only Robert Bald who married an Ann was the 1861 marriage of Robert Bald and Ann Stott in the Barossa District (3). On the LDS site, this Robert Bald was born 19 Oct 1834 Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, and died 5 Nov 1897 North Brighton, Adelaide SA. His parents were the Robert Bald and Christina Bald nee Hunter described in Note 37. He arrived with his family in 1849 on the Stebonheath. He was, by occupation, a farmer and had resided at Smithfield, Linwood, and Glenelg. He was married 19 Sep 1861 Linwood to Ann Stott born 1843, and died 3 Feb 1899 Gawler. Her father James Stott was born c1842, died 3 Feb 1898, buried at Willaston. Robert and Ann Bald’s children were [1] William Robert Bald born 10 Dec 1862 Templers SA; [2] James Bald born 4 Nov 1865 Light SA; [3] William Bald born 7 Apr 1868 Linwood SA; [4] Isabella Ann Mulroney nee Bald born 26 Apr 1869 Linwood; [5] Christina Oliver nee Bald born 18 Nov 1871 Linwood; [6] George Bald born 3 Sep 1874 Linwood SA; [7] Harold Bald (twin) born 16 Apr 1877 Templers; [8] John Bald (twin) born 16 Apr 1877 Templers; [9] Caroline May Winter nee Bald born 5 Jan 1881 nr Templers; [10] Charlotte Palen nee Bald (twin) born 2 May 1884 Linwood; [11] Elsie Ellis Bald (twin) born 2 May 1884 Linwood; [12] Ann Bald born 26 Jan 1886 Linwood, and died 26 Jan 1886 Linwood (4). It is noted that on the LDS site, it claims Ann Bald nee Stott died on 3 Feb 1899, but the headstone says 3 Feb 1898, which co-incidentally is the exact same date given for her father James Stott’s death. The death recorded at GenealogySA is of an Anne [not Ann] Bald, and is stated to be in 1899, rather than the Willaston Cemetery records saying 1898, and also that Robert Bald was her (DH) deceased husband, which is true as he had died in 1897 (5). Robert Bald’s wife was alive when this notice appeared in November 1898, so it’s likely the 1899 death date is correct: Robert Bald’s death: “Bald. In loving remembrance of Robert Bald, who died at the Adelaide Hospital, November 5, 1897. Dearest husband and father .. .. . . Inserted by his loving wife and family.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 5 November 1898 p8 (6). Ann Bald’s death: “Bald. On the 3rd February, at her daughter's residence, Gawler, Anne, the dearly beloved wife of the late Robert Bald, Linwood, of bronchitis, infllammation of the lungs, aged 55 years and 8 months. Deeply regretted.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 8 April 1899 p8 (7). So the headstone is wrong, she died in 1899 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bald_robert_&_ann.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmFsZA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFsZA==&g=Um9iZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I212775&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QmFsZA==&g=QW5u&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87702537?searchTerm=Robert%20Bald&searchLimits=l-title=291 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87786049?searchTerm=Robert%20Bald&searchLimits=l-title=291 Mark David Bald was born 15th May 1956 and died aged 48 years old, husband of Di, father of Jade and Matt (1). Searching the Newspaper Death Notices in the Advertiser shows 3 notices appeared in 2004 for Mark David Bald, with one adding the nicknames Mark David (Stinky) (Baldy) Bald (2). The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices has one for Mark David Bald on 2004-12-10 (3), at least telling us he died in late 2004, most likely in December 2004 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bald_mark_david.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QmFsZA==&g=TWFyaw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html Robert Bald was born 10 Aug 1877, and died 12 July 195?2?; Christina Hunter Bald was born 9 Oct 1880 and died ?? Sept 1958; Charlotte Bald was born 18 Jan 1883 and died 24 Apr 1962; Elizabeth Bald was born 26 May 1886 and died 4 June 1966; but there are no explanations of their relationships, except they share the gravesite and headstone (1). The LDS site says Robert Bald was born 10 Aug 1877 in Smithfield SA. His father was George Bald who was born 21 Mar 1839 in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, and died 25 Nov 1917 [see Note 37]. George Bald was married on 30 Nov 1876 Linwood SA to Robert Bald’s mother Charlotte Mitchell born 1 Nov 1846 in Altarnum, Cornwall, England and died 5 Nov 1925 SA (2). This Charlotte Bald nee Mitchell (died 1925) is not the Charlotte Bald (died 1962) buried under this headstone. Charlotte Bald who died 1925 was married to George Bald (Note 37) and was aged 79 yrs when she died 5 Nov 1925 (3), not 75 years old as appears on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (4). According to the LDS website, Charlotte Bald who was born 18 Jan 1883 at Smithfield SA was the daughter of George Bald (born 21 Mar 1839 Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland and died 25 Nov 1917 SA) and Charlotte Mitchell (born 1 Nov 1846 Altarnum, Cornwall, and died 5 Nov 1925) (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bald_robert,_christina_hunter,_charlotte_&_elizabeth.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I212824&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bald_george_&_charlotte.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I212827&tree=SouthAustralia James Bald died aged 66 yrs and 9 mths on 1 Aug 1932; his wife Eleanor Bald died aged 80 yrs on 10 Feb 1954 (1), making her birth year c1874. James Bald is described in Note 38. Eleanor’s death: “Bald. On February 10, at Private Hosital[sic], Eleanor, widow of James Bald, loved mother Olive and Reg, grandma Tom, Doug and Claire. Late of Templers and Gawler.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 17 February 1954 p24 (2). James’ death: “Bald. On the 1st August, at his residence, Ford street, Gawler South, James, the dearly beloved husband of Eleanor Bald, late of Templars, aged 67 years (Suddenly)”. The Advertiser, Tuesday 2 August 1932 p8 (3). As per the LDS site, James Bald was born 4 Nov 1865 at Light SA to parents Robert Bald (born 19 Oct 1834 Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland) and Ann Stott (b1843). James was married 22 May 1895 at Templers SA to Eleanor Skelton born c1872 (4). James and Eleanor marry: “Bald—Skelton. On the 22nd May, by the Rev C Reed, James, second son of Robert Bald, Linwood, to Eleanor (Nellie), youngest daughter of William Skelton, Templers.” South
Australian Chronicle, Saturday 6 July 1895 p4 (5). Searching Eleanor Skelton on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Eleana[sic] Skelton was born on 20 Mar 1873 in Templers SA to parents William Skelton and Elizabeth Critcherson (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bald_eleanor_&_james.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47582206?searchTerm=James%20Bald%20Eleanor&searchLimits= 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/34692349?searchTerm=James%20Bald%20Eleanor%20Gawler&searchLimits= 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I212803&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/91464248?searchTerm=Skelton%20Bald&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I341383 42 R Raymond (Ray) Barker was born 3 Feb 1902, died 29 May 1988, husband of Win, father of Reta and Allan (1). Winifred J (Win) Barker was born 18 Nov 1903, died 24 Apr 1993 (2). The ‘R Barker’ Marriage Index shows that Robert Raymond Barker was married in 1929 to Winifred Jane Dawkins in the Port Adelaide District (3). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Robert Raymond Barker was born on 3 Feb 1902 in Virginia SA to parents Thomas Barker and Ethel Maud Hatcher (4). Still on RootsWeb, Winifred Jane Dawkins was born on 18 Nov 1903 in Gawler Plains SA to parents Ernest Ebenezer Dawkins and Olive Mary Nicholls (5). These dates of birth match those on the headstone 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barker_r._raymond.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barker_winifred_j..jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFya2Vy&g=Ug==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I293238 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I491432 43 Margaret Jane ?Barkley died 16 Aug 1943; her daughter Isobel May Barkley died 16 March 1940 (1). A search on the Margaret Barkley Death Index at GenealogySA shows when Margaret Jane Barkley died in Adelaide in 1943, the nominated relative was her deceased husband Robert Barkley (2). Unfortunately her age is not given in the Death Notice in the Chronicle, Thursday 19 August 1943 p10: “Barkley. On August 16, at a private hospital, Fullarton, Margaret Jane Barkley, loved mother of Will (Gawler), Edith (Mrs SC Fairbrother), Happy Valley, and of the late Mrs JS Perry and Isobel. At rest” (3). This shows that William Robert Barkley was her son: “Funeral Notice. Barkley. The friends of the late Mrs Margaret Jane Barkley (formerly of Lyndoch) are respectfully informed that her remains were removed from the residence of her son Mr WR Barkley of Gawler on Tuesday morning, and privately laid to rest in the Willaston Cemetery.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 18 August 1943 p8 (4). Turning to the other Barkley headstone, William Robert Barkley died aged 86 years on 26 Feb 1970; his wife Ruby Catherine Barkley died aged 77 years on 3 May 1965 (5). On the LDS website, William Robert Barkley was born in 1884 to father Robert Barkley. William was married on 11 Nov 1914 in Riverton to Ruby Catherine Hannaford who was born 28 Apr 1888 Riverton (6). This implies that William’s father Robert Barkley must be his mother Margaret’s husband who predeceased her. But none of this gives either Margaret or Isobel an age or date of birth, nor William Robert’s date of birth. Isobel May Barkley’s Funeral Notice doesn’t give her age: “The Friends of Miss Isobel Barkley, late Post Mistress of Lyndoch, are respectfully informed that her remains were removed from her brother's residence, Jacob Street, Gawler on Sunday, March 17th, and privately laid to rest in the Willaston Cemetery. Rev M Tresise officiated.” Bunyip, Friday 22 March 1940 p3 (7). However, on the Town of Gawler’s website and their Burial Register, Isabel May Barkley aged 52 years, who last resided in Lyndoch was buried 17/03/1940 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 48 J 2, with Rev Tresise officiating (8), and Margaret Jan Barkley aged 83 years, who last resided in Fullarton was buried 17/08/1943 in Willaston Cemetery’s re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 48 J 2, with Rev Hunt officiating (9), so we now know their ages at death and we can estimate their years of birth. Isabel[sic] May Barkley’s Obituary: Miss IM Barkley. Miss Isabel May Barkley, who recently died after a long illness, was a well-known figure in the Barossa district. Miss Barkley was born at Burra on December 12, 1887, and was the fourth daughter of the late William Robert Barkley. ........ In 1914 she was appointed postmistress at Marrabel, where she remained for two years. She was then transferred to Lyndoch in the same capacity, where she remained until she died. .... Following a serious illness five years ago, Miss Barkley had to retire from her social activities, and was frequently indisposed on account of poor health. Her mother, Mrs M Barkley, survives her; also a brother, Mr WR Barkley, of Gawler, and a sister, Mrs SC Fairbrother, of Happy Valley.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 11 April 1940 p46 (10). The ‘all Barkley’ Birth Index seeking offspring of William Robert Barkley doesn’t show enough births to make Isobel May the 4th daughter of the late William Robert Barkley, even if we include the earlier births to Elizabeth Thompson with maybe to a different Robert Barclay [1] Robert Barclay b1863 to parents Robert Barclay and Elizabeth Thomson in the Adelaide District; [2] Daniel Thompson Barclay b1866 to parents Robert Barclay and Elizabeth Thompson in the Adelaide District; [3] Rose Barkley b1878 to parents Robert Barkley and Margaret McGeoghan in the Burra District; [4] Thomas Barkley b1879 to parents Robert Barkley and Margaret McGaughan in the Burra District; [5] William Barkley b1880 to parents Robert Barkley and Margaret Brown in the Frome District; [6] Isabella Barkley b1882 to parents Robert Barkley and Margaret Jane Megrughin in the Adelaide District; [7] John James Barkley b1884 to parents Robert Barkley and Maggie Jane Brown in the Adelaide District; [8] Edith Matilda Barclay b1886 to parents Robert Barclay and Margaret Jane Brown in the Burra District (11). The website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people gives William Barkley’s birth as 27 Dec 1880 in Morchard SA to parents Robert Barkley and Margaret Brown (12). The only Barkley in SA’s Birth Register [on RootsWeb] is John James Barkley who was born on 8 Jan 1884 in North Adelaide SA to the same parents as for William, ie Robert Barkley and Maggie Jane Brown (13), so if this is correct, William was 90 yrs old when he died. Still on RootsWeb, Isabella Barkley was born on 25 Oct 1882 in Adelaide to parents Robert Barkley and Margaret Jane Megrughin (12), although the variation in her mother’s surname is puzzling, and Isabella was older than stated if it is the same person, as was Margaret Jane, if this is her: Margaret Brown was born on 18 Jan 1859 in Kooringa, Burra SA to parents Stephen Brown and Jane Mitchell (14). I’m not sure enough to add them to our list, due to all those conflicting dates and names 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barkley_isobel_may_&_margaret_jane.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QmFya2xleQ==&g=TWFyZ2FyZXQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92706912?searchTerm=Barkley%20Margaret&searchLimits=l-title=291 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48764010?searchTerm=Isobel%20Barkley&searchLimits= 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barkley_ruby_catherine_&_william_robert.jpg 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I137131&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96705758?searchTerm=Isobel%20Barkley&searchLimits=l-title=371 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33509 9 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33580 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92387513?searchTerm=Barkley&searchLimits=l-state=South+Australia 11 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFya2xleQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA==

The Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser shows one for Ellen Louisa (Nell) Barnes on 7 June 1972 (2). The Ellen Barnes Death Index at Genealogy SA shows that when Ellen Louisa Barnes died in 1972 in Gawler, the nominated relative was her deceased husband Alexander David Barnes (3). But this is all I can find out 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barnes_ellen_l.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QmFybmVz&g=RWxsZW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 45 Mr William Barnet Snr died aged 90 years on 8 Dec 1889; his wife Mrs Margaret Barnet died aged 94 years on 4 March 1892; Charles A Barnet their grandson, 4th son of William Barnet, died aged 11 years on 23 Feb 1882; Robert Henry Barnet, 3rd son of William Barnet died aged 49 years on 4 Sept 1917; Emily MM Barnet was born 29 Dec 1865 and died 1 Feb 1925 (1). A search of Charles Barnet at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Charles A Barnet on a Memorial Inscription who died aged 11 years old in 1882 and on the Burial Register it gives his name as Charles Alfred Barnet (2). There is a second Barnet family headstone for William Barnet (Jnr) who died aged 61 years on 25 Feb 1895; and his wife Hannah Barnet who was born in 1843 and died 9 March 1921. This also again notes Charles A Barnet and Robert Henry Barnet (3), with the same dates as the other headstone (1). I have combined the double entries into single ones. This headstone seems to confirm that Charles Alfred and Robert Henry Barnet were sons of this William Barnet and Hannah Barnet. The William Barnet Marriage Index shows that in Adelaide 1861 William Barnet married Hannah Burfield (4). The Emily Barnet Birth Index reveals that in 1865 Emily Margaret Mercy Barnet was born to William Barnet and Hannah Burfield in the Barossa District (5). An article celebrating the Diamond Wedding of Mr and Mrs W Barnet 1884 says “ .... On June 7, 1824, at the Manse, Leith, Scotland, by the Rev James Robertson DD, William Barnet, of Leith, to Margaret, eldest daughter of the late John Matthew, of Perthshire”... ..“Mr and Mrs Barnet are the parents of Mr W Barnet, the proprietor of the Gawler Bunyip; his eldest son Mr George Barnet is proprietor of the Kinross-shire Advertiser, Scotland, and it is a curious coincidence that the eldest son established the first newspaper in his native county 37 years ago; and the next representative, Mr W Barnet, junr, the first provincial paper in this colony; another son Mr E Barnet is in the employ of the Milling Company; and their only daughter Mrs James Fotheringham, who has devoted much care to her aged relatives in their declining years, and was the prime mover in arranging for the recent celebration of the Diamond Wedding. .....” Bunyip, Friday 13 June 1884 p2 (6). Deaths: Barnet. On Sunday, February 1, at ?Pine?

Deaths: Barnet. On the 8th December, at the residence of Mrs James Fotheringham, Kinross Villa, Gawler East, William Barnet, senior, in his 90th year. Bunyip, Friday 13 December 1889 p2 (8). Searching on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people reveals that Charles Alfred Barnett[sic] was born on 9 May 1871 in Gawler SA and died aged 10 yrs on 23 Feb 1882 in Gawler. His parents were William Barnet and Hannah Burfield (9). Frank Lindley Barnett[sic] was born on 5 Sep 1876 in Gawler to parents William Barnet and Hannah Burfield (10). Robert Henry Barnett[sic] was born on 25 Oct 1868 in Gawler to parents William Barnett[sic] and Hannah Burfield. Still on RootsWeb, Hannah Burfield was born on 29 Apr 1843 in New Port SA to parents Robert Burfield and Mercy Potter. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/ab/barnet_william_snr,_margaret,_charles_a,_robert_henry_&_emily_m.m..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmFybmV0&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barnet_william,_charles_a,_robert_henry_&_hannah.jpg 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFybmV0&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFybmV0&g=RW1pbHk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97211710?searchTerm=William%20Barnet&searchLimits=l-title=371 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96633543?searchTerm=William%20Barnet&searchLimits=l-title=371 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97229922?searchTerm=William%20Barnet%201889&searchLimits=l-title=371 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I281497 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I281501 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I281532 12 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I327117 46 Frank Lindley Barnet died aged 65 years on 18 March 1941; his wife Clarice Isobel Barnet died on 24 March 1945 (1). Using the Frank Barnet Wedding Index on GenealogySA, Frank Lindley Barnet married Clarice Isobel Carne in 1919 (2). The Clarice Carne Birth Index shows Clarice Isabel[sic] Carne was born in 1888 to parents William Henry Carne and Mary Jane James in the Port Gawler District (3). This must be Frank Lindley Barnet: “Birth. Barnet. On the 5th September, at Church Hill, Gawler, the wife of William Barnet, of a son”. Bunyip, Friday 8 September 1876 p2 (4). But just to be sure, here’s his Obituary: The Late Mr FL Barnet: “... Born at Gawler on September 5, 1875, Mr Barnet was in his 66th year”. ... He had “married Miss Clarice Carne, daughter of the late Mr W Carne of Gawler South, and a musician of acknowledged high standard on the pianoforte. Of the family issue there are : Kenneth L, now associated with 'The Bunyip'; Geoffrey K, with the National Bank at Quorn; and daughter Vivia L, student at the Gawler High School. Of Mr Barnet's own family there is now one remaining brother, Arthur, of Midland Junction, West Australia; Mrs EV Distance, of Prospect, and Misses Florence L and Ruby M Barnet of 'Pine Lodge,' Gawler”. Bunyip, Friday 28 March 1941 p4 (5). The 1876 date is in the 1876 Bunyip Birth Notices, and so is more likely than the 1875 date in the obituary after 65 years, despite the latter making more arithmetical sense. Also, as we saw in Note 45, RootsWeb gives his birthdate as 5 Sep 1876. Frank Lindley Barnet’s son’s headstone says Ken L Barnet (1919-2000) was the husband of Daphne, and father of 4 sons: John, Anthony, Craig and Paul (6). A search on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows Kenneth Lindley Barnet was born on 13 Nov 1919 in Gawler to parents Frank Lindley Barnet and Clarice Isobel Carne (7). “Kenneth Lindley Barnet died on 16 May 2000”. Australian Newspaper History Group Newsletter No 22 May 2003 Page 9-10 (8). Clarice Isobel Carne was born on 25 Oct 1888 in Gawler to parents William Henry Carne and Mary Jane James (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barnet_frank_lindley_&_clarice_isobel.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFybmV0&g=RnJhbms=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FybmU=&g=Q2xhcmljZQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97220259?searchTerm=William%20Barnet&searchLimits=l-title=371 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96697244?searchTerm=William%20Barnet&searchLimits=l-title=371 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barnet_ken_l.jpg

Ruby Barnet Birth Index shows that Ruby Myrtle Barnet was born in 1887 to parents William Barnet and Hannah Burfield (2), making her 78 years old when she died. This must be the birth announcement for Ruby Myrtle Barnet: “Birth: Barnet. On the 16th October, at Burfield Cottage, Gawler East, the wife of William Barnet, of a daughter.” Bunyip, Friday 21 October 1887 p2 (3). On her headstone, Flo L Barnet appears to have died in 1943, but the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says it was in 1945 (4). On closer examination of a magnified view of the date, I agree it says 1945, although someone has tampered with it. That she died in 1945 is confirmed in her Death Notice: “Death: Barnet. On July 17, at Gawler, Florence L, second daughter of the late Mr and Mrs William Barnet, of 'Pine Lodge,' Gawler, and loved sister of Edith (Mrs Custance), Ruby and Arthur”. Bunyip, Friday 20 July 1945 p3 (5). A search of Flo Barnet at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription saying that Flo L Barnet died in 1945 and the Burial Register Florence Louisa Barnet (6). Using RootsWeb, Florence Louisa Barnett[sic] was born 28 Sep 1874 in Gawler to parents William Barnet and Hannah Burfield (7), and just to confirm the Bunyip birth notice, Ruby Myrtle Barnet [sic] was born on 16 Oct 1887 to parents William Barnet and Hannah Burfield (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barnet_flo_l_&_ruby_m.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFybmV0&g=UnVieQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97230465?searchTerm=William%20Barnet&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96862844?searchTerm=William%20Barnet&searchLimits=l-title=371 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmFybmV0&g=Rmxv&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I281500 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I281504 48 William (Snr) Obituary: “The Death of Mr William Barnet, Sen. On Sunday last passed peacefully away Mr William Barnet, senior. It cannot be said that he died after a long illness, although for the last eighteen months he was confined to his bed. He suffered no pain, nor expressed any inconvenience, but faded gradually away, his senses keeping clear. Mr Barnet was born February 4, 1800, in Damhead, Perthshire, Scotland, but subsequently removed to Kinross, where he carried on business as a manufacturer for some years. Subsequently in 1851 desiring scope for his growing family he came to South Australia. ..... He was married on the 7th June 1824, consequently had been married just 65 years and 6 months exactly. Mrs Barnet is in her 93rd year ... Bunyip, Friday 13 December 1889 p2 (1). Mrs Margaret Barnet dies: “Barnet. On the 4th March, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs James Fotberingham, Kinross Villa, Gawier East, Mrs Wm Barnet, sen, in her 96th year.” South Australian Chronicle, Saturday 5 March 1892 p4 (2). It was noted that Mrs Margaret Barnet’s headstone says she was 94 yrs old when she died (See Note 45), but the contemporary newspaper report says she was in her 96th year, ie, aged 95 years, which means that her year of birth is c1797. “The Diamond Wedding of Mr and Mrs W Barnet: From the Register special Reporter. A Diamond Wedding is an event of infrequent occurence anywhere, and, so far as we know, is unique in the history of this colony. The prettily situated town of Gawler has in times past been the theatre of many novel proceedings, which should find a place in any complete history of the colony, and it is therefore not inappropriate that the town which enjoys the title of Modern Athens should be the scene of the festivities in connection with the only diamond wedding we have celebrated here. ...... The [diamond] wedding took place in the Institute Hall, Gawler, on Friday evening, June 6, the sixtieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr and Mrs William Barnet, sen, and the whole of the proceedings passed off with the utmost success. The notice of the original marriage of the venerable couple reads as follows: ' On June 7, 1824, at the Manse, Leith, Scotland, by the Rev James Robertson DD, William Barnet, of Leith, to Margaret, eldest daughter of the late John Matthew, of Perthshire.' Mrs Barnet has now reached the age of 87, while her husband has seen the decline of 85 summers, and this aged pair are still in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits. ..... Both Mr and Mrs Barnet came from families in which instances of extreme longevity were comparatively common. Mrs Barnet's mother spent 97 years on this terrestrial sphere, while an aunt was a centenarian, and Mr Barnet's father had a 92 years' lease of life. ... Altogether the celebration festivities were productive of a vast amount of enjoyment, and the event will be gratefully remembrance[sic] to those who took part in it for many years to come.” Bunyip, Friday 13 June 1884 p2 (3). This greatly edited report from the Bunyip gives us the information that Mrs Margaret Barnet’s maiden name was Matthew, but that hasn’t helped find her actual date of birth. Ebenezer Barnet dies: “The Late Mr EA Barnet. The late Mr Ebenezer Barnet, who died at Terowie on Saturday last, at the age of 65 years, was the youngest son of the late Mr Wm Barnet, sen, of Gawler. For many years he was in the employ of tbe late Hon W Duffield. He was possessed of exceptional strength and is credited with having on one occasion carried two bags of wheat and a man on his back up a 9inch plank on to a truck. Tbe remains of the late gentleman were brought to Gawler on Monday and interred in the Willaston cemetery.” Bunyip, Friday 10 February 1905 p2 (4). 1 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97229953?searchTerm=william%20barnet%20death&searchLimits=l-title=371 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/91546756?searchTerm=mrs%20margaret%20barnet&searchLimits= 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97211710?searchTerm=barnet%20wedding%20diamond&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97602156?searchTerm=Ebenezer%20Barnet&searchLimits=l-title=371 49 Graham Murray Bartholomew aged 11 months died on 5 May 1952; son of Edna Mabel Bartholomew, who died aged 70 years on 13 Jan 1995 (1). The Graham Bartholomew Death Index on GenealogySA shows that when Graham Murray Bartholomew died in 1952 in Adelaide, his nominated relative was his father Murray Henry Bartholomew (2). Graham Murray Bartholomew’s birth: “Bartholomew (nee Noack). On June 3, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Mabel and Murray — a bonnie son (Graham Murray). Thanking Dr Rice and hospital staff.” The Advertiser, Tuesday 12 June 1951 p14 (3). Graham Murray Bartholomew’s death: “Bartholomew. On May 5, at Children's Hospital, Graham Murray, the dearly beloved infant son of Murray and Mabel Bartholomew, of 56 Eighth street, Gawler South. Aged 11 months.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 8 May 1952 p34 (4). Murray Henry Bartholomew has a military headstone that says that he was a corporal in the Australian Army’s 2/11 BN AIF. He died aged 84 yrs on 21 March 2007 (5). On the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Murray Henry Bartholomew was born on 2 Jan 1923 in Freeling SA to parents Charles Herman Bartholomew and Johanna Beate Ida Hempel (6), and Edna Mabel Noack (3) was born on 27 Dec 1924 in Kapunda SA to parents Carl Albert Noack and Bessie Nitschke (7). As a cross-check, the World War Two Nominal Roll shows that Murray Henry Bartholomew was born on 2 Jan 1923 in Freeling SA and was living at Roseworthy SA when he enlisted on 5 Jul 1943 at Wayville SA in the Australian Army, giving as his next of kin Charles Bartholomew. Corporal Bartholomew was discharged on 13 Aug 1946 from the 2/11 Australian Infantry Battalion (8). The date of birth matches the one I found on RootsWeb, and the other details match the headstone 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartholomew_graham_murray_&_edna_mabel.jpg

A “J Bartholomew” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery reveals a Burial Register entry for Johanna Beatta Ida Bartholomew and JB Ida Bartholomew on the Memorial Inscription (2). The Charles Bartholomew Marriage Index shows Charles Herman Bartholomew was married in 1909 to Johanna Beata Ida Hempel in the Kapunda District (3). The Johanna Hempel Birth Index confirms that Johanna Beata Ida Hempel was born in 1884 to parents Christlieb Eduard Hempel and Wilhelmine Caroline Schlosser in the Barossa District (4). Frank Leslie dies: “Youth Found Dead: Kapunda, October 15. Frank Leslie Bartholomew, 17, was found dead, pinned beneath a dray, at Bagot's Well, about four miles from Kapunda. He was employed by Mr John Brennan, and was engaged carting soil and tipping it into a creek. Evidently the dray capsized as he was backing it down a steep bank, and Bartholomew was thrown underneath it. He was last seen at his work about 3 pm, and it was several hours later that his body was found by Mr Herbert Bahnisch. He was a son of Mr and Mrs Charles Bartholomew, of Roseworthy. The coroner (Mr CH Branson) deemed an inquest unnecessary.” The Advertiser, Tuesday 16 October 1934 p4 (5). A general Google search for Johanna Beata Ida Hempel shows a website for ‘Lehmann Henschke - Person Sheet’. Here they cite Johanna Beata Ida Hempel was born 5 Nov 1884, Daveyston, SA and died aged 72 yrs on 28 May 1957. Her parents were Eduard Christlieb Hempel (1840-1919) and Caroline Wilhelmine Schlosser (1851-1932). Johanna was married on 29 Dec 1909 to Charles Hermann Bartholomew who was born 27 Sep 1885 and died aged 74 yrs on 30 Jan 1960 (6). Arthur Charles dies in 1933: “Bartholomew. On the 22nd April, at Adelaide Hospital, Arthur Charles, dearly beloved second son of Mr and Mrs C Bartholomew, and brother of Herbert, Frank, Murray, of Roseworthy, aged 20 years At rest.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 27 April 1933 p40 (7). Arthur Charles Bartholomew did not die in 1932 as the headstone tells us, but he died in 1933. Using the SA Births data via the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Arthur Charles Bartholomew was born on 7 Jul 1912 in Freeling to parents Charles Hermann Bartholomew and Johanne Beata Ida Hempel (8), and Frank Leslie Bartholomew was born on 7 Mar 1917 in Freeling to the same parents (with slight spelling variations) Charles Hermann Bartholomew and Johanna Beate Ida Hempel (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/ab/bartholomew_arthur_charles,_frank_leslie,_j.b._ida,_charles_hermann.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmFydGhvbG9tZXcg&g=Sg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFydGhvbG9tZXc=&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SGVtcGVs&g=Sm9oYW5uYSA=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35011616?searchTerm=Bartholomew%20Frank&searchLimits=l-title=44 6 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS63/PS63_402.HTM 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90897703?searchTerm=arthur%20charles%20bartholomew&searchLimits=l-title=291 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I440742 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I440753 Robert (Bob) L Bartlett (born 26 March 1924, died 7 Dec 1992); husband of Lillian Ivy Bartlett, father of Winston and Michael (1). The Robert L Bartlett search at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser shows 3 notices in 1992 for Robert Lethbridge (Bob) Bartlett (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartlett_robert_l.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QmFydGxldHQ=&g=Um9iZXJ0IEw=&c=&y=&r=MA== Wallis Bartel died 25 May 1949, husband of May, father of Trevor, Pam and Pattie (1). The Wallis Bartel Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Wallis Raymond Bartel was born in 1907 to parents Charles Bartel and Minnie Bertha Margaret Cordis (2), meaning he was about 42 yrs old when he died. The Wallis Bartel Marriage Index shows that Wallis Raymond Bartel was married in 1937 to Gertrude May Kimpton in the Port Gawler District (3). Using the website for RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we find that Wallis Raymond Bartel was born on 6 Jul 1907 in Roseworthy SA to parents Charles Bartel and Minnie Bertha Margaret Cordis (4), so he was not 42 yrs old when he died, but in his 42nd year. Minna Bartel died aged 82 yrs on 2 Feb 1958; wife of Charles Bartel who died aged 93 yrs on 15 March 1968 (5). The ’all Bartel’ Birth Index at GenealogySA offspring of Charles Bartel and Minnie Bertha Margaret Cordis shows 7 children born to Charles Bartel and Minnie /Minna Bertha Margaret Cordes /Cordis, all born in the Barossa District: [1] Eveylon May Bartel b1902; [2] Ivy Blanche Bartel b1904; [3] Clement Charles Bartel b1905; [4] Wallis Raymond Bartel b1907; [5] Ross Sydney Bartel b1912; [6] Marjory Pearl Bartel b1913; [7] Fredrich Allen Bartel b1916 (6). There was no Charles Bartel Birth Index at Genealogy SA, nor on the LDS website, but a thought came that maybe he had anglicised his first name from Carl. Now on the LDS site, we find that Carl Emil Bartel was born on 25 May 1874 at Langmeil SA to parents Johann Christian Bartel (born 7 Sep 1837 Moetschen. Brandenburg, Prussia, died 14 Nov 1897 Head of Lindley SA) and Johanna Dorothea Traeger (b1845, died 13 Nov 1885 Head of Lindley), who had married on 12 Jul 1866 at Lights Pass SA. Carl Emil Bartel was married aged 25 yrs on 22 Feb 1901 at Yanyarrie SA to Minna Bertha Margaret Cordes[sic] aged 25 yrs. Their children included [1] Evelyn May Bartel born 14 Sep 1902 Roseworthy; [2+] at least 2 ‘living’ children (7). Still on the LDS site, Minna Bertha Margaret Cordes was born on 5 Aug 1875 Concordia SA to parents Heinrich Ludewig Cordes and Anna Maria Schmidt (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartel_wallis.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFydGVs&g=V2FsbGlz&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFydGVs&g=V2FsbGlz&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I440616 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartel_minna_&_charles.jpg 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFydGVs&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I174648&tree=SouthAustralia 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F53309&tree=SouthAustralia Andrew Richard Belton died 1 March 1948; his wife Mary Evis Belton died 29 July 1953 (1). The Andrew Belton Marriage Index on GenealogySA shows that Andrew Richard Belton was married in the Barossa District in 1898 to Mary Evis BROWN (2). Mr Belton dies:
“Mr Andrew Richard Belton JP, who died suddenly on Monday, at his Willaston home, represenfed Willaston Ward in Gawler Council from 1936 to 1946. He was 72 years of age. The remains were interred at Willaston Cemetery on Tuesday.” Bunyip, Friday 5 March 1948 p4 (3). Mrs Belton dies: “Belton. On July 30, at her residence in Bright street, Willaston. Mary Evis nee Brown, beloved wife of the late Andrew Richard Belton, aged 77 years. At rest.” The Advertiser, Friday 31 July 1953 p22 (4). The ‘all Belton’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Andrew Richard Belton and Mary Evis Brown uncovers four children, all born in the Barossa District: [1] Dorothy Annie Belton b1899; [2] Cecil Vivian Belton b1902; [3] Richard Lawrence Hartley Belton b1904; [4] Andrew Morris Belton b1907 (5). Richard Lawrence Hartley {Lawrie} Belton died aged 80 yrs on 7 Dec 1984; his wife Ethel Belton died aged 88 yrs on 14 July 1994; parents of Dorothy, Beatrice and Rhonda (6). The Richard Belton Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Richard Lawrence Hartley Belton was married in the Barossa District in 1932 to Ethel Hutchinson (7). Turning to the SA births at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Andrew Richard Belton was born on 14 Sep 1875 at Wasleys SA to parents Andrew Belton and Anna Maria Addis (8), Richard Lawrence Hartley Belton was born on 21 Aug 1904 in Willaston SA to parents Andrew Richard Belton and Mary Evis Brown (9), and Mary Evis Brown seems to be recorded on the birth records as Mary Eveous[sic] Brown and she was born on 23 Jan 1876 in Gawler to parents William Edward Brown and Charlotte Couznar (10). I cannot find a record of Ethel Hutchinson at RootsWeb in that name, nor at GenealogySA, and wonder if she was from interstate, even overseas? I could not confirm that marriage by searching on Trove either 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/belton_andrew_richard_&_mary_evis.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVsdG9u&g=QW5kcmV3&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96850120?searchTerm=Andrew%20Richard%20Belton&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48271957?searchTerm=mary%20evis%20belton&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmVsdG9u&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/belton_richard_lawrence_hartley_&_ethel.jpg 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVsdG9u&g=UmljaGFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I309223 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I282751 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I323268 54 Mina Emily Grace Benger died aged 21 yrs and 4 mths on 5 Feb 1909; her brother Edward Henry Benger died aged 30 yrs and 11 mths on 23 Apr 1910; their father Edwin Benger died aged 71 yrs on 7 June 1916; Elizabeth Benger, presumably mother of Mina and Edward, died aged 82 yrs and 3 mths on 27 July 1932 (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Edwin Benger died 7 July 1916, but it says 7 June on the headstone. The Edwin Benger Marriage Index on GenealogySA showed he was married in 1869 to Elizabeth Smith in the Kapunda District (3). According to the LDS website, Edwin Benger was born on 4 Nov 1845 in Dorset, England and died 7 Jun 1916 at Wasleys SA. His parents were George Benger (born Dec 1807 Dorset, died 7 Jul 1879 Adelaide SA) and Mary Maidment (born 6 Nov 1809 England, died 24 Feb 1883 Wasleys SA), who were married in 1840 England. Edwin Benger arrived with his parents in 1849 aboard the Prince Regent and was a farmer residing at Mt Rufus, then Pinkerton Plains. He was married aged 24 yrs on 26 Mar 1869 at Kapunda to Elizabeth Smith aged 19 yrs (born to father George Smith on 9 Apr 1850 and died 27 July 1932). The children of Edwin Benger and Elizabeth Smith were Richard James Benger born 31 Dec 1869 SA, died 29 Feb 1920 NSW; [2] Arthur George Benger born 15 May 1872 nr Wasleys; [3] Edgar Edwin Benger born 17 Feb 1874 nr Wasleys; [4] Charlotte Mary Benger born 3 Oct 1876 nr Wasleys; [5] Edward Henry Benger born 23 Jun 1879 Wasleys, died 23 Apr 1910 nr Wasleys; [6] Ernest Joseph Benger born 4 Aug 1881 Wasleys; [7] Elizabeth Ivy Ruth Benger born 10 Oct 1884 Wasleys; [8] Mina Emily Grace Benger born 19 Oct 1887 Wasleys, died 5 Feb 1909 Wasleys; [9] Allan Stanley Benger born 20 Jan 1892 Wasleys; [10] William Horace Roy Benger born 17 Oct 1894 Wasleys (4). Edgar Benger dies: “Fatality at Block 10: Broken Hill, November 22. An inquest was held today on the body of Edgar Edwin Benger, who was fatally injured through falling down a pass in Block 10 Mine on Thursday. The evidence was to the effect that the deceased with two mates was straightening in the pass timber which had been displaced by the firing on the previous shift. Benger was standing on one set below the mouth of the pass steadying a log while his mates above placed a cap upon it. He was seen to disappear feet foremost into the pass, and it is supposed that he slipped on loose mullock. A verdict of accidental death was returned, and the following rider added: 'We are of opinion that in cases where similar work is being done the shift boss should give instructions to have the shoot or pass protected.' Benger was a well known cyclist.” The Register (Adelaide), Monday 24 November 1902 p6 (5). More tragedy strikes the family: Wasleys (Sunday) April 24 1910. “Mr Edward Henry Benger, aged 30, son of Mr Edwin Benger, of Wasleys, was found drowned in a tank on Saturday night at about 8 o'clock. The body was recovered by Messrs James Ryan and M Collen. The tank, which was an old disused one, and was uncovered, contained from 6 ft to 7 ft of water, and was within a few feet of the hut used as sleeping quarters. Mr Benger took his meals at his parents’ residence a chain or two distant. Mr W H George made full enquiries into the occurrence, with the assistance of Mounted Constable Mullen, of Hamley Bridge, who lost no time in reaching Wasleys on Saturday night as soon as the intelligence was made known The police officer remained at Wasleys the greater part of Sunday. The coroner, after a searching investigation, decided that an inquest was unnecessary. Much sympathy is felt for Mr and Mrs Edwin Benger and family. Scarcely twelve months ago Miss Grace Benger, a sister of the drowned man, aged 21, was the victim of a fatal burning accident.” Bunyip, Friday 29 April 1910 p4 (6). And just to show that Edwin Benger died in June 1916, not in July: “Deaths: Benger. On the 7th June, at Wasleys, Edwin Benger, dearly beloved husband of Elizabeth Benger, aged 71 years.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 10 June 1916 p31 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/ab/benger_mina_emily_grace,_edward_henry,_edward_&_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVuZ2Vy&g=RWR3aW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I207804&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/56592719?searchTerm=Edwin%20Benger&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97728124?searchTerm=Edwin%20Benger&searchLimits=l-title=371 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87311809?searchTerm=edwin%20benger&search 55 William Southall Bennett died aged 44 years on 13 Oct 1889; his wife Mary Ann Bennett died aged 87 years on 24 July 1942; parents of Lillian, Harold and Stanley (1). On the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, it says that Mary Ann died in 1912, but the date seems more like 1942 to me, despite some deterioration of some of the numbers (2). According to the information on the LDS site, William Southall Bennett was born 4 Oct 1845 North Adelaide, and died 13 Oct 1889 in Gawler. His father was Thomas Bennett born 1812, and died 1 Mar 1878 Norwood SA. His mother was Elizabeth Southall born 1812, died 27 Feb 1883 Norwood. William Southall Bennett was a stationmaster, and had resided in Gawler and Roseworthy. He was married 2 Jan 1867 SA to Kate Howard born 1839, died 12 Mar 1874 Smithfield SA. Their children were [1] Constance Colville Bennett [twin] born 13 Dec 1868 Adelaide, died 3 Dec 1869
Norwood; [2] Kate Southall Bennett [twin] born 13 Dec 1868 Adelaide, died 11 Dec 1869 Norwood; [3] Southall Howard Bennett born 17 May 1870 Norwood, died 21 Dec 1871 Norwood; [4] Florence Kate Bennett [twin] born 6 Mar 1874 Smithfield, died 30 Dec 1874 Adelaide; [5] William Victor Bennett [twin] born 6 Mar 1874 Smithfield, died 19 Mar 1874 Adelaide. Following the death of Kate Bennett, William Southall Bennett remarried on 3 Feb 1875 Hindmarsh, to Mary Ann Last born 26 Aug 1855 SA. After losing his first five children, he had a further seven with Mary Ann: [1] Eustace Edwards Bennett born 19 Jan 1876 Gawler; [2] Leonard Southall Bennett born 2 Nov 1877 Bassett SA; [3] Horace Last Bennett born 11 Mar 1880 Gawler, died 7 Feb 1881 Bassett; [4] Harold Last Thomas Bennett born 13 Dec 1881 Bassett; [5] Edith Amy Lillian Bennett born 17 Jun 1884 Gawler; [6] Arthur Mursell Stanley Bennett born 15 Oct 1886 Gawler Station; [7] Myrtle Evelyn Gwenellyn Bennett born 13 Dec 1888 Gawler (3). Obituary for Mrs Mary Ann Parker formerly Bennett nee Last: “Mrs Mary Ann Parker, who died recently, had lived at Gawler for 68 years. Mrs Parker was born at Encounter Bay on August 26, 1855, and later came with her parents, Mr and Mrs Mark Last to Hindmarsh. She married Mr William Southall Bennett, then station master at Roseworthy. Mr Bennett died in 1889, and seven years later she married Mr Thomas Tovey Parker, who died about 20 years ago. The surviving family are one daughter, four sons, 26 grandchildren, and 24 great-grand-children”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 3 September 1942 p2 (4). Thus ends any concern over her year of death being 1942, not 1912. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bennett_william_southall_&_mary_ann.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I173886&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92381449?searchTerm=Mary%20Ann%20Bennett&searchLimits= 56 Joseph Henry Bennett died 30 Aug 1947; his wife Elsie May Bennett died 16 Aug 1960 (1). A search of Elsie May Bennett at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms she died in 1960 (2), and a similar search for Joseph Henry Bennett confirms he died in 1947 (3). “Death of Mr JH Bennett: Mr Joseph Henry Bennett, of Gawler, who died recently in his 61st year, was well known throughout the State for his work in science and technical education. Mr Bennett was born at Moonta, and after attending the local schools won a country scholarship to the School of Mines where he studied metallurgy and assaying and gained his ASASM diploma. He returned to the laboratories at the Moonta Mines, but in 1909 accepted the position of Registrar of the Gawler Technical School, which position he held until his death. Mr Bennett was also on the teaching staff of the Gawler Continuation School in 1909 and when the new high school was opened in 1911 he was appointed science master. In 1923 be was appointed senior master. When the Gawler High School Old Scholars' Association was reformed some years before the outbreak of war, he was elected president. In 1913 he married Elsie May Riggs, of Bentley, Gawler, who survives him. Dr John Bennett, of Perth, is a brother”. The Advertiser, Friday 5 September 1947 p11 (4). On the LDS website, Joseph Henry Bennett was born 12 May 1855 in Bowden SA, died 15 Jul 1923 Tarcowie SA, and is buried at Moonta. His father was Stephen Bennett b1829, died 12 Mar 1866 Kapunda SA, and his mother was Jane Grose born 26 Jul 1830 Chasewater, Cornwall, England and died 1913 SA. Joseph Henry Bennett was a storekeeper who was married 25 Nov 1875 Moonta to Mary Ann Snell b 1857 SA and died 24 Oct 1924 SA.

It is their 6th child Joseph Henry Bennett who is the subject of this research. Still on the LDS website, Joseph Henry Bennett was born 3 Oct 1887 at Moonta. He was married 20 Mar 1913 at the Methodist Church in Gawler to Elsie May Riggs (6), and Elsie May Riggs was born 14 Sep 1878 Gawler Hills to parents Henry John Riggs and Mary Ann Bond (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bennett_joseph_henry_&_elsie_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmVubmV0dA==&g=RWxzaWU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmVubmV0dA==&g=Sm9zZXBo&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/74650964?searchTerm=Joseph%20Henry%20Bennett&searchLimits= 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I207451&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I34568&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F8866&tree=SouthAustralia 57 Allan MacQuarrie Bennett died aged 47 years on 28 Aug 1927; his wife Annie Bennett died aged 71 years on 15 Nov 1951 (1). According to the LDS website, Allan McQuarrie[sic] Bennett was born 24 Aug 1880 at Magill SA. His parents were Henry William Bennett (born 29 Jan 1850 Adelaide, and died 28 Apr 1924) and Elizabeth McQuarrie (born 1854 SA, died 8 Jul 1926 SA), who married 10 Jun 1875 in Adelaide. Allan McQuarrie Bennett was married on 11 Mar 1902 in Gawler to Annie West b1880 (2). By searching SA births on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we see that Annie West was born on 9 Sep 1880 in Gawler to parents William Henry West and Lavinia Layton (3). Richard Frank Bennett died aged 78 years on 8 Feb 1983, his wife Alice Bennett died aged 67 years on 8 Jan 1979 (4). The Richard Bennett Birth Index on GenealogySA shows that Richard Frank Bennett was born in 1905 to parents Allan McQuarrie Bennett and Annie West in the Barossa District (5), making himthe son of the couple described above. The Richard Bennett Marriage Index shows Richard Frank Bennett was married in 1934 to Alice Paine in the Barossa District (6). Now turning back to SA births on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Richard Frank Bennett was born on 1 Feb 1905 in East Gawler to parents Allan McQuarrie Bennett and Annie West (7), and Alice Paine was born on 26 Nov 1911 in Prospect, Adelaide SA to parents Richard John Paine and Gertrude Turner (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bennett_allan_macquarrie_&_annie.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I68350&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I381453 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bennett_alice_&_richard_frank.jpg 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmVubmV0dA==&g=UmljaGFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVubmV0dA==&g=UmljaGFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I302374 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I617221 58 Frederick J Bennett who died 6 May 1943 was married to Fanny Bennett (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he died on May 5th, but the headstone says May 6th (2), this will be subsequently confirmed by his death notice in the Advertiser (7). The Gawler Council Burial Register for Willaston Cemetery has a Frederick James Bennett aged 59 years from Gawler who was buried on 7/05/1943 in Plot/Grave/Niche 41 I 2, with Rev Burden officiating (3), making his year of birth c1884, with the funeral 2 days after we know our Fred J died. A search of the LDS website shows that Frederick James Bennett was born in SA in 1884, to parents George Bennett and Mary Ann Mitchell, who had married on 27 Oct 1870 at Glenburn SA (4). Frederick’s father George Bennett was born
17 Jun 1847 Sherborne, Dorset, England and he died 4 Dec 1924 SA. George’s parents were Aaron Bennett and Catherine Aish. Frederick’s mother Mary Ann Mitchell was born 25 Oct 1848 Reedbeds SA, and died 10 Dec 1932 SA, her parents being being William Oats Mitchell and Mary Tonkin. George and Mary Ann Bennett’s children were [1] William Aaron Bennett b1871 SA and was married 2 Jan 1896 Glenburn SA to Frances Emma Lord; [2] Alfred George Bennett born 11 Apr 1873 Glenburn SA and was married on 7 Jun 1900 Glenburn to Jessie Sophia Scott; [3] Walter James Bennett born on 29 Jul 1874 Glenburn and died 21 Jan 1875 Normanville SA; [4] Sarah Jane Bennett born 22 Sep 1875 Glenburn; [5] Albert Edward Bennett born 16 Apr 1877 Delamere SA; [6] Janet Maria Bennett born 31 May 1878 Delamere, and was married 14 Sep 1904 Delamere to George Limbert Croser; [7] Mary Ann Bennett born 2 Aug 1879 Delamere, and was married on 10 Oct 1906 South Road SA to Edwin Darcey Shillabeer; [8] John Henry Bennett born 16 Apr 1881 Delamere; [9] Charles Arthur Bennett born 9 May 1882 Delamere; [10] Frederick James Bennett b1884; [11] Annie Marion Bennett born 10 May 1885 Delamere, and was married 29 Jun 1910 Glenburn to John Rapid Croser; [12] Arnold Thomas Bennett born 19 Sep 1886 Delamere, and was married 3 Oct 1911 Delamere to Edith Maria Collins; [13] Wilfred Egbert Bennett born 16 Dec 1888 Delamere; [14] Fanny Ellen Bennett born 30 Jul 1891 Delamere (5). The Fanny Bennett Death Index shows that when she died in 1947, her nominated relative was Frederick James Bennett, her deceased husband (6). This at leadst confirms that Frederick James Bennett had a wife named Fanny, as it appears on the headstone (1). Date of Death 6th May, not 5th: “Bennett. On May 6, at the residence of Mr Barry Wright, 66 Second street, Gawler South, Frederick James, dearly beloved husband of Fanny Bennett, aged 59 years. At rest.” The Advertiser, Friday 7 May 1943 p8 (7). Using the SA births data on RootsWeb, we find that Frederick James Bennett was born on 18 Mar 1884 in Delamere SA to parents George Bennett and Maryann[sic] Mitchel[sic] (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bennett_frederick_j.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32913 4 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I231340&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F3753&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QmVubmV0dA==&g=RmFubnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48911783?searchTerm=Frederick%20James%20Bennett&searchLimits=l-title=44 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I302053 59 Julius Robert Bergmann died aged 64 yrs on 19 Oct 1952; his wife Hilda Eliza Bergmann died aged 88 yrs on 7 March 1983, parents of Malcolm, Talbot and Trafford. The Julius Bergmann Marriage Index on GenealogySA shows that Julius Robert Bergmann was married in the Port Gawler District in 1928 to Hilda Eliza Andrews (2). Searching SA birth records on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we see that Julius Robert Bergmann was born on 14 Mar 1889 in Nuriootpa to parents August Wilhelm Julius Bergmann and Louise Pauline Feuerheerd (3), and Hilda Eliza Andrews was born on 5 Jul 1894 in Smithfield SA to parents William Andrews and Ellen Hillier (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bergmann_julius_robert_&_hilda_eliza.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVyZ21hbm4=&g=SnVsaXVz&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I303244 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I733483 60 Benjamin Betts died aged 47 yrs on 23 July 1891; his children Alice Betts died aged 1 mth on 8 Sept 1872; William Betts died aged 1 mth on 27 Jan 1875; Edith Betts aged 3 yrs and 6 mths on 7 June 1879; Elsie May Betts died aged 6 mths on 27 Nov 1883; Edwin Albert Betts died aged 6 mths on 17 Jan 1885; Nellie Eleanor Betts died aged 6 mths on 19 May 1889; Priscilla Betts died 22 May 1951; wife of Benjamin and mother of the other names here was Sarah Ann Betts who died 17 Nov 1928 (1). Benjamin Betts Marriage Index on GenealogySA shows that he was married in 1881 to Sarah Ann Norman in Adelaide (2), but this doesn’t suit the data listed below, unless she was married before to a Mr Goldsmith, or just changed her name. Turning to the SA birth data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we see that Benjamin Betts is not mentioned, nor was Alice Betts, but William Betts was born on 24 Dec 1874 in Gawler to parents Benjamin Betts and Ellen Goldsmith and he died on 27 Jan 1875 in Gawler (3). Edith Betts was born 20 Dec 1875 in Gawler to parents Benjamin Betts and Sarah Goldsmith and died 5 Jun 1879 in Gawler (3). Elsie May Betts was born on 28 May 1883 in Gawler to Benjamin Betts and Sarah Ann Goldsmith and died 27 Nov 1883 in Gawler (4). Edwin Albert Betts was born on 3 Sep 1884 in Gawler also to Benjamin Betts and Sarah Goldsmith and died 17 Jan 1885 in Gawler (5). Nellie Eleanor Betts was born on 24 Nov 1888 in Gawler again to Benjamin Betts and Sarah Ann Goldsmith and died 18 May 1889 in Gawler (6). Priscilla Betts was born on 22 Oct 1878 in Gawler to parents Benjamin Betts and Sarah Goldsmith (7). Turning to the LDS website, Benjamin Betts was born in 1846 Kent, England and died 25 Jul 1891 Gawler. His parents were Benjamin Betts (b1813 Kent, England, died 29 Jul 1884 Port Gully nr Kadina SA) and Sarah Morris (b1817 England, died 7 Aug 1884 Gawler). Benjamin Betts arrived in SA 1851 aboard the Hydaspes, and was a bootmaker who had resided in Norwood, Gawler and Mallala. He was married aged 34 yrs on 5 Jan 1881 in Adelaide to Sarah Ann Goldsmith, who was a 35 yr old widow, born c1845. The children of Benjamin Betts and Sarah Ann Goldsmith, all born in Gawler, included [1] Walter Betts born 6 Oct 1870; [2] William Betts born 24 Dec 1874, died 27 Jan 1875 Gawler; [3] Edith Betts born 20 Dec 1875, died 5 Jun 1879 Gawler; [4] Priscilla Betts born 22 Oct 1878; [5] Amy Jane Betts born 4 Nov 1880; [6] Elsie May Betts born 28 May 1883, died 27 Nov 1883 Gawler; [7] Edwin Albert Betts born 3 Sep 1884, died 17 Jan 1885 Gawler; [8] Florence Beatrice Betts born 15 Aug 1886, died 18 Mar 1892 Gawler; [9] Nellie Eleanor Betts born 24 Nov 1888, died 18 May 1889 Gawler (8). Sarah’s past history: “Supreme Court, Adelaide. In Banco. Tuesday, August 18. [Before their Honors the Acting-Cbief Justice and Mr Justice Bundey.] In the Goods of Benjamin Betts, Deceased. Mr JH Symon QC, on behalf of the executrix, Sarah Ann Norman, otherwise Betts, applied for probate to issue. Sarah Ann Goldsmith was married in 1863 to John Norman, at Brighton, England. Not haying heard from her husband for more than seven years she, on January 5, 1881, went through the ceremony of marriage with Benjamin Betts, of Gawler, and from that date to the time of Betts's death, on July 25, 1891, she lived with him. Some time after January 1881, she heard of her husband, John Norman, and it appeared that he was still alive. Betts on November 19, 1890, executed his will and appointed Sarah Ann Betts as his executrix. The Registrar of Probates had refused to grant a probate of the will to Sarah Ann Norman without the sanction of the court. Affidavits identifying her with Sarah Ann Betts were put in, and various authorities were cited by Mr Symon in support of his application. The court granted the application.” Bunyip, Friday 21 August 1891 p4 (9). Thus she was Sarah Ann Betts formerly Norman nee Goldsmith. Sarah Ann dies in WA in 1929: “Deaths: Betts. On the 16th November, at Esperance WA, Sarah Ann Betts, relict of Benjamin Betts, Gawler SA, aged 86 years.” The Register News-Pictorial (Adelaide), Thursday 28 November 1929 p8 (10), the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery agreed with me that she died in 1928 (11), but it clearly was 1929, from the newspaper notice. The only unknown is when exactly was Alice Betts born, about August 1872. I note that there is a gap between the births of Walter b1870 and William b1874, so Alice most likely was born in the middle of that time, but I cannot find a record of her birth date.

The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery spells his first name as ‘Gotlieb’ (2), when it clearly says ‘Gottlieb’ on the headstone. Mr and Mrs GF Beushausen arrive in SA: “Adelaide Shipping: Arrived. Wednesday, October 28. The ship Symmetry, 407 tons, E French, master, from London.

Give a visit to Beushausen's Establishment. Every one will go away satisfied.” Bunyip, Friday 29 June 1888 p3 (4). In his earlier working life, he may have been a miller: “We take the following from the Bunyip: An accident occurred at the new Victoria Mill of Messrs Duffield & Co, on Friday, the 15th inst, whereby a miller named Beushausen nearly lost one of his hands. The mill was started on Thursday to grind some wheat, and it being found that the gear was all in working order, operations were resumed on the Friday. Beushausen put his hand into the box in which works the screw which conveys the wheat from the damping bin, and the worm caught it, skinning the back of it and otherwise injuring it. Dr Nott was called in, and he at once dressed the wounded limb.” The South Australian Advertiser, Monday 18 May 1868 p3 (5). His wife dies: “Death: Beushausen. On the 6th of April, the beloved wife of GF Beuahaasen, in her 74th year. Arrived in the ship 'Patell' in 1846. Her end was peace.” Bunyip, Friday 12 April 1895 p2 (6). He soon follows: “Beushausen. On the l8th September, at Gawler, Gottlieb Ferdinand Beushausen, aged 73 years. A colonist of 39 years.” South Australian Chronicle, Saturday 21 September 1895 p4 (7). The ‘all Beushausen’ Death Index at GenealogySA shows that in Adelaide in 1895 Sophia Elizabeth Beushausen died with her nominated relative her still living husband Gottlieb Ferdinand Beushausen (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/beushausen_gottlieb_ferdinand.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/27454148?searchTerm=Beushausen&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97225984?searchTerm=Beushausen&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/31978290?searchTerm=Beushausen&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97570601?searchTerm=Beushausen&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/91462832?searchTerm=Beushausen&searchLimits= 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QmV1c2hhdXNlbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Myrtle Florence Bevan died aged 68 yrs on 21 May 1958; her husband John George Bevan died aged 83 yrs on 2 May 1970 (1), making their years of birth c1895 and c1887 respectively. The The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Myrtle Florence Bevan was aged 63 yrs old when she died (2), but it looks more like 68 yrs to me. The John Bevan Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that John George Bevan was married in 1911 in the Port Adelaide Port Adelaide District to Florence Myrtle Weaver (3). Turning to the SA birth data at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that John George Bevan was born on 2 Apr 1887 in Portland, Adelaide SA to parents William Bevan and Sarah Jane Mason (4), and Florence Myrtle Weaver was born on 9 Aug 1889 at Willaston SA to parents William Weaver and Clara Alice Schumann (5). A simple calculation shows that Myrtle Florence Bevan nee Weaver was 68 yrs and 9 mths old when she died in May 1958. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bevan_myrtle_florence_&_john_george.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmV2YW4=&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I304930 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I377279 Cyril Arthur Bird died aged 58 yrs on 8 Feb 1967; his wife Annie Beatrice Bird died aged 85 yrs on 4 March 1994, parents of Ron, Len and Audrey (1). The Cyril Bird Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Cyril Arthur Bird was married in 1929 to Annie Beatrice Higgins in Adelaide (2). A review of SA births at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no Cyril Arthur Bird but it does have Annie Beatrice Higgins who was born on 17 Mar 1908 in Gawler to parents Edgar Ray Higgins and Jane Elizabeth Taeuber (3). A search on the World War Two Nominal Roll shows that Cyril Arthur Bird was born on 12 Aug 1908 in Malakaval, India and was living in Gawler SA when he enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force on 8 Oct 1940 in Adelaide, citing his Next of Kin to be Annie Bird. Corporal Bird was discharged on 5 Nov 1945 from 113 Air Sea Rescue Flight (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bird_cyril_arthur_&_annie_beatrice.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmlyZA==&g=Q3lyaWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I538467 4 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=R&veteranId=877731 Mary Matilda Birkett died aged 62 yrs on 16 Oct 1917; her husband John Birkett died aged 90 yrs on 6 March 1946 (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he was 91 yrs old when he died in 1945 (2), but that means he was aged 90 yrs, and
it looks more like he died in 1946, not 1945, on the headstone. According to the LDS website data, John Birkett was born in 1856, his father was Edward Birkett. John Birkett aged 22 yrs was married on 18 Apr 1878 in Gawler to Mary Matilda Shutter aged 24 yrs, born 13 Feb 1854 Gawler Plains SA. The 13 children of John Birkett and Mary Matilda Shutter were [1] Clara Birkett born 22 Jan 1879 Bassett SA; [2] Mabel Louisa Birkett born 21 Nov 1880 Gawler; [3] Leonard Stephen Edward Birkett born 19 Dec 1882 Gawler; [4] Isabel Pearl Birkett born 16 Jan 1886 Gawler River; [5] Ruby Matilda Birkett born 16 Jan 1886 Gawler River; [6] Oswald John Birkett born 22 Jul 1887 Evanston, died 29 Dec 1887 Gawler Station; [7] Flossie Birkett born 4 Nov 1888 Gawler; [8] Ivy Birkett born 16 Dec 1889 Evanston; [9] Reginald Howard Hutton Birkett born 27 Jan 1891 Evanston, died 4 Sep 1904 Gawler River; [10] Clifford Roy Shutter Birkett born 1 Sep 1893 Evanston; [11] Kathleen Birkett born 26 Aug 1895 Evanston; [12] Ethel Victoria Diamond Birkett born 24 Mar 1897 Evanston; [13] Dorothy Gladys Birkett born 11 May 1899 Evanston, died 3 Mar 1900 Gawler Plains (3). Still on the LDS website, some more information about the family of John Birkett is that his wife Mary Matilda Shutter’s parents were Stephen Shutter and Louisa Higgins. Of the children [1] Clara Birkett was married on 17 Dec 1898 in Evanston to James Smith; [2] Mabel Louisa Birkett was married on 25 Dec 1899 in Evanston to William Henry Rosewarne; [3] Leonard Stephen Edward Birkett was married on 29 Dec 1910 in Eudunda to Regina Ottilie Emma Hempel; [7] Flossie Birkett was married on 7 Jul 1909 at Daveyston to Ferdinand Julius Adolph Hempel; [8] Ivy Birkett was married on 19 Oct 1910 in Freeling to Ernst Johannis Benno Hempel (4). John Birkett definitely died in 1946: “Funeral Notices: Birkett. The friends of the late Mr John Birkett are respectfully informed that his funeral will leave his late residence, Evanston, Gawler Railway, on Friday, at 11 am, for the Willaston Cemetery.” The Advertiser, Thursday 7 March 1946 p12 (5). This now gets confusing. This article fits exactly except for his wife’s maiden name, which can be explained below. However, the date it was published is in 1938, not the anticipated date in 1946. “Mr John Birkett. Mr John Birkett, of Evanston, was born in the village of Kendall, county Westmoreland, England, on 14th April 1854. He came to South Australia in the sailing ship 'Ceratta,' 60 years ago and came direct to the Gawler district. He worked on the farm of Mr Krudolph at Angle Vale and married a daughter of Mr Krudolph. Leaving the farm he came to Gawler and worked with the carrying firm that conveyed goods from the Gawler South station to Gawler. He then worked as a driver shunting in the railway yards. Messrs Greaves & Co had the shunting contract and had stables where the chaff mills now stand. The chaff mills now owned by Mr Noack was built by Mr W Gilbert, a former Member of Parliament, and managed for many years by Mr B Payne. Mr Birkett worked in the railways department for many years and was a porter at Smithfield. When the excitement of the capture of the Kelly bushrangers was on, the various stations received telephone messages of the capture. He worked on the building of the present Gawler South goodssheds and Railway station. He knew the late Mr P Kelly who owned the land where the Gawler racecourse is now, and he saw the laying out of the grounds and buildings erected there. At the age of 60 he went to work on the East West railway line and then worked on the railway at Morgan in the late Mr P CuIlen’s gang. He saw the land of the late Mr J Riggs sub-divided into what is now the Gawler Blocks with its homesteads and public school. Mr Birkett has lived in Gawler for the greater part of 60 years and had a family of 14 children, 9 of whom are living.” Bunyip, Friday 16 December 1938 p2 (6). His wife’s maiden name: Mary Matilda Birkett nee Shutter was actually a stepdaughter of Mr Krudolph: “The Late Mrs Krudop. The late Mrs Luder Krudop, whose decease was recorded last week, was a daughter of the late Mr Thomas Higgins, of Gawler River, and arrived in the ship Navarino in 1837. She was twice married. Her first husband was the late Mr Stephen Shutter. Three children of this union survive, Mrs Lee of Willaston, Mrs J Birkett of Evanston, and Mr Thomas Shutter of Salisbury. Of the second marriage there survive the widower, and two children, Mrs H Heise of Port Adelaide, and Mr N Krudop of Angle Vale. The deceased lady, who was 67 years of age, had resided in this neighborhood for over fifty years. She was of a genial kindly disposition and had a large circle of friends. The deceased expired at the residence of her daughter, Mrs J Birkett, at Evanston. The funeral was largely attended.” Bunyip, Friday 17 November 1899 p2 (7). So did the headstone get it wrong, or are there two John Birkett’s, both born c1854? We can be sure of his wife’s death: “An old identity of Gawler, Mrs Mary Matilda Birkett, wife of John Birkett, died on Tuesday evening. The deceased, whose maiden name was Shutter, leaves a husband and a family of nine — two sons and seven daughters. She was born at Angle Vale and reached the ripe age of 63 years. The funeral took place on Thursday morning at 11, the place of interment being the Willaston Cemetery.” Bunyip, Friday 19 October 1917 p4 (8), but his death is unclear, so I’ll leave it till we learn more. The ‘all Birkett’ Marriage Index shows that in 1910, Leonard Stephen Edward Birkett married Emma Regina Ottlie Hempel in the Kapunda District (9). This maybe the Emma Birkett buried in Willaston, but Regina Ottilie Emma Hempel was born on 11 May 1890 in Daveyston SA to parents Christlieb Eduard Hempel and Caroline Wilhelmine Schlosser (10). The ‘all Birkett’ Marriage Index shows that in 1910, Leonard Stephen Edward Birkett married Emma Regina Ottlie Hempel in the Kapunda District (9). This maybe the Emma Birkett buried in Willaston, and on the RootsWeb birth data, Regina Ottilie Emma Hempel was born on 11 May 1890 in Daveyston SA to parents Christlieb Eduard Hempel and Caroline Wilhelmine Schlosser (10), so at least this fits with my calculated year of birth for her. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/birkett_mary_matilda_&_john.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I72192&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F17593&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48694671?searchTerm=john%20birkett&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96685162?searchTerm=birkett&searchLimits=l-title=371 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97582086?searchTerm=birkett&searchLimits=l-title=371 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/100418560?searchTerm=birkett&searchLimits=l-title=371 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qmlya2V0dA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I19089 65 Thomas Noel (Bill) Blinman died 6 March 1975; his wife Vandra Edith Blinman died 18 April 1969; their daughter Lois Vandra Blinman died 12 July 1962 (1). The “all Blinman” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows that Lois Vandra Blinman died in 1962, Vandra Edith Blinman died in 1969, but this GenealogySA site says Thomas Noel (Bill) Blinman died 1945 (2), which seems to be a mistake, as the headstone clearly says 1975. Although he doesn’t appear on the Thomas Blinman Death Index, the Thomas Blinman search at Newspaper Death Notices (also GenealogySA) for the Advertiser says Thomas Noel (Bill) Blinman died in 1975 (3). The Thomas Blinman Birth Index shows us that Thomas Noel Blinman was born in 1901 to parents Richard Henry Blinman and Mary Eleanor Turnbull in the Highercombe District (4), making him about 74 years old when he died. The Thomas Blinman Marriage Index shows Thomas Noel Blinman was married in 1929 to Vandra Edith Mortimer in Adelaide (5). Unfortunately there is no Vandra Mortimer on the Birth Index, but on the Vandra Mortimer Death Index, it shows that when Vandra Edith Blinman died 1969, her nominated relative was her still living husband Thomas Noel Blinman of Gawler (6), proving that the reports of his death in 1945 were greatly overstated! There’s neither a birth of Lois Vandra Blinman nor a mother called Vandra Edith Mortimer on the “all Blinman” Birth Index, so we will need to look elsewhere. A search on the WW2 Nominal Roll reveals the Army Service Record of Thomas Noel Blinman, who was born 28 Feb 1901 at Highbury SA, and enlisted 11 Feb 1942 at Glenelg SA, citing his next of kin as Vandra Blinman (7). Turning to the SA birth records
posted on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Thomas Noel Blinman was born on 28 Feb 1901 in Highbury Hotel SA to parents Richard Henry Blinman and Mary Eleanor Turnbull (8), which confirms his date of birth, but there are no RootsWeb records for Lois Vandra Blinman or Vandra Edith Mortimer. A search at Mundia.com shows Lois Vandra Blinman (1931-1962) died in Gawler (9), but no records of her parents. Will have to give up on Vanda Edith till I see ToG Burial Records 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/blinman_lois_vandra,_vandra_edith_&_thomas_noel.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Qmxpbm1hbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Qmxpbm1hbg==&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Qmxpbm1hbg==&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qmxpbm1hbg==&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Qmxpbm1hbg==&g=VmFuZHJh&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=712685 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I309533 9 http://www.mundia.com/au/Search/Results?givenName=Vandra+Edith&surname=BLINMAN&gender=Female&birthDay= 66 Jane Bloffwitch died aged 58 years on 29 April 1915; her husband Thomas Bloffwitch died aged 83 years on 6 Jan 1935 (1). According to the LDS website, Thomas Bloffwitch was born c1850, and married Jane Simpson born 1856, died 29 Apr 1915 nr Gawler. Their children were [1] John Bloffwitch born 12 Feb 1875 Smithfield SA; [2] William Bloffwitch born 15 Apr 1877 Gawler River; [3] Thomas Bloffwitch born 12 Apr 1879 Mount Crawford SA; [4] Edward John Bloffwitch born 12 Dec 1881 Reeves Plains; [5] Herbert Bloffwitch born 17 Dec 1883 Grace Plains; [6] Jane Bloffwitch born 25 Apr 1889 Gawler; [7] Mary Ann MacMahon nee Bloffwitch born 8 Aug 1891 Gawler (2, 3). My reason to use the 1851 as the year of Thomas Bloffwitch’s birth is that LDS say c1850, my calculated year is 1852, but the chance he was born within the first 5 days of 1852 is less than 2% with a 98% chance he was born in 1851, assuming he was definitely 83 years old when he died and not just in his 83rd year. Wedding: McMahon-Bloffwitch: “A wedding was celebrated at St Peter and Paul’s Church, Gawler, on Thursday morning, April 23, when Miss Mary Bloffwitch, youngest daughter of Mr Thomas Bloffwitch, Gawler West, was married to Mr William McMahon, youngest son of Mr Michael MacMahon, Carrington street, Adelaide. ...... The bridesmaids, Misses Mary and Florence McMahon (sisters of the bridegroom), looked dainty in palette silk dresses trimmed with cream lace and pearls. Mr Michael James McMahon, of Broken Hill, acted as best man, and Mr Herbert Bloffwitch as groomsman. After the ceremony a reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents, when the usual toast list was gone through. .....” Daily Herald (Adelaide), Saturday 2 May 1914 page 5S (3). It definitely says he was 83 years old: “Bloffwitch. On the 6th January, at the residence of his Son-in-law, Mr JFC Mieglich, No 6, Thirteenth Street, Gawler South, Thomas, beloved husband of the late Jane Bloffwitch, aged 83 years. RIP. WA papers please copy”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 10 January 1935 p45 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bloffwitch_jane_&_thomas.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I204273&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/125055562?searchTerm=Thomas%20Bloffwitch&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92362966?searchTerm=Thomas%20Bloffwitch%201935&searchLimits= 67 Hurtle Bott died aged 63 years on 24 Sept 1972; his wife Erica Bott died aged ?? on 25 Aug 2001; parents of Jillian (1). Unfortunately, there is a floral tribute obscuring Erica’s age at her death. On the ‘all Bott’ search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, Samuel Hurtle Leslie Bott appears on the Burial Register and there are Memorial Inscriptions for Samuel Hurtle (Les) Bott who died aged 78y in 1966 and for Hurtle Bott who died aged 63y in 1972, but there’s no record available for Erica Bott (2). There is no Hurtle Bott Marriage Index at GenealogySA but Trove reveals: “Bott—Bigg. The marriage of Erica, eldest daughter of Mrs. and the late Mr JT Bigg, of Prospect, to Hurtle, only son of Mr and Mrs L Bott of Gawler was solemnised at Prospect on November 13. ...”. The Advertiser, Monday 17 November 1947 p14 (3). Searching SA births at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Hurtle Bott was born Hurtle Ashby Joseph Bott on 4 Jul 1909 at Callington SA to parents Samuel Hurtle Leslie Bott and Grace Adelaide Freak (4), and Erica Bigg was born Erica Mary Bigg on 5 Aug 1920 in Adelaide to parents John Theodore Bigg and Mary Gertrude Wiltshire (5), and hence was 81 years old when she died in 2001. On this next Bott headstone, Samuel Hurtle (Les) Bott died aged 78 yrs on the 5 Dec 1966; his wife Grace died aged 94 yrs on 20 May 1984; their daughter Hazel Agnes Elizabeth Bott died aged ?? on 21 June 2007, her age yet again obscured by something in front of the headstone (6). The ‘all Bott’ search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery as a Memorial Inscription for Hazel Agnes Elizabeth Bott who died in 2007 aged 96 years (7), making her birth year c1911. The ‘all Bott’ Birth Index shows that Samuel Hurtle Leslie Bott and wife Grace had the following children: [1] Hurtle Ashby Joseph Bott b1909; [2] Hazel Agnes Elizabeth Bott b1911. This search also tells us that their mother was Grace Adelaide Freak (8). Back on RootsWeb, Hazel Agnes Elizabeth Bott was born 4 Jun 1911 in Callington SA to parents Samuel Hurtle Leslie Bott and Grace Adelaide Freak (9), but Samuel Hurtle Leslie Bott does not appear on RootsWeb site for SA births. So turning to the LDS website, we find that Samuel Hurtle Leslie Bott was born in 1888 to parents Levi Bott (born 21 Sep 1858 Hay Valley SA, died 25 Jun 1936 in SA) and Agnes Murtapanna Commyns (born 21 Dec 1862 Paralena SA, died 6 May 1944 SA), who had married on 14 Apr 1886 in Dawesley SA. Samuel Hurtle Leslie Bott was married aged 19 yrs on 8 Jul 1908 Callington SA to Grace Adelaide Freak aged 18 yrs, who was born on 24 Aug 1889 Barossa Diggings (10). Samuel Hurtle’s father Levi Bott was born 21 Sep 1858 to parents Samuel Bott (born 28 Mar 1816 Brigstock, Nottinghamshire, England, died 21 Dec 1904 Callington SA) and Sarah Shortland (b1820, died 16 May 1904 Callington SA), who had married c1845 Northamptonshire, England. Levi Bott was a miner residing in Callington. His wife Agnes Murtapanna Commyns’s father was James Commyns, and she died 6 May 1944. The children of Levi Bott and Agnes Murtapanna Commyns were [1] James Ashby Bott born 2 Mar 1887 Native Valley SA, d1963; [2] Samuel Hurtle Leslie Bott born 1888; [3] John Clifton Shortland Bott born 2 Feb 1892 Callington; [4] Louis Bott [twin] born 19 Dec 1893 Callington; [5] Mary Doris Bott [twin] born 19 Dec 1893 Callington; [6] Newton Raymond Bott born 18 Apr 1896 Happy Valley SA; [7] Ellen Argall Bott born 4 Feb 1898 Callington, died 30 Dec 1899 Dawesley; [8] John Levi Bott b1902 (11). So in despair, I googled SH Bott and at a website named “The AIF Project”, Samuel Hurtle Leslie Bott was born 12 Nov 1888 in Preston Victoria and when he enlisted in the AIF as a private on 21 March 1916 he was a labourer living in Gawler with his wife Mrs Grace Adelaide Bott, but her address was given as Kessle Cottages, 39 Palmerston Road, North Unley SA whilst he was overseas first with 50th Battalion, 5th Reinforcement from 21 September 1916 until he was discharged as a Lance Corporal 27th Battalion after his return to Australia 8 September 1919. He served on the Western Front and was twice wounded in action (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bott_hurtle_&_erica.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Qm90dA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43743287?searchTerm=Hurtle%20Bott%20Erica&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I450956 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I446738

The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has her name as “Mabel” (2), but the headstone spells it “Mable”. The William Bott Birth Index shows that William Henry Bott was born 1898 to parents William John Bott and Alberta Emma Carslake in Adelaide (3). On the LDS website, William John Bott was born in 1865 and was married on 17 Feb 1898 in Adelaide to Bertha Emma Carslake, who was born in 1874 (4). I suspect William Henry Bott may have been married twice, or at least have had several relationships, as the headstone doesn’t say that Mable Grace Bott was the mother of Clarrie and Ronda. In fact, an ‘all Bott’ Birth Index shows that William Henry Bott and Violet Myrtle Thompson were parents of [1] Clarence George Brice Bott b1924; [2] Ronda Jean Bott b1926 (5). A Violet Bott search at South Australia Cemeteries shows that Violet Myrtle Bott died aged 93 years in 1996 and is buried in Enfield Memorial Park Cemetery (6). There’s no record of birth for Violet Myrtle Thompson, so William Henry Bott may have spent some years interstate, which may also explain why I cannot find records of his marriage to Mable Grace. We have found that William Henry Bott was married in 1920 to Violet Myrtle Thomson[sic] in Adelaide (7), when he was 22 years old. But who is Mable Grace Bott? At the RootsWeb site for SA births, William Henry Bott was born on 12 Dec 1898 in Adelaide to parents William John Bott and Alberta Emma Carslake (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bott_mable_grace_&_william_henry.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Qm90dA==&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I239053&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Qm90dA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Qm90dA==&g=VmlvbGV0&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qm90dA==&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I312766 Pauline Botterill died aged 69 years on 23 July 1984; her husband John Botterill died aged 80 years on 27 Jan 1990; parents of Pauline, Bruce and Guy (1). The ‘all Botterill’ search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has no one on the Burial Register and only one Memorial Inscription for Pauline Botterill who was 69yrs old when she died in 1984 (2). The John Botterill searches at GenealogySA had no matches for that name and the Pauline Botterill search only showed the one already mentioned above. The only Botterill mentioned on the Savill Index of Newspaper Funeral Notices in the Advertiser is one for a Mark Richard Botterill on 2009-01-29 (3). A long fruitless search has convinced me to admit defeat – there are some Botterills buried at Mount Gambier, and others around Australia but nothing to link our two. There is no John Botterill amongst the SA births at RootsWeb, and no John Botterill born c1910 on the World War Two Nominal Roll 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/botterill_pauline_&_john.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Qm90dGVyaWxs&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html Henry James Boucher died aged 53 years on 5 Nov 1958; his wife Elizabeth Boucher died aged 63 years on 15 Oct 1974 (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Elizabeth died in 1914 (2), but the headstone says it was in 1974, which clearly makes more sense for this married couple. The headstone also states that Henry James was aged 53 years when he died, but the “B” data page doesn’t mention this. The ‘all Boucher’ search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Memorial Inscriptions for Elizabeth Boucher who died aged 63y in 1974; and for Henry James Boucher who died aged 53y in 1959 (3). There is no Henry Boucher Marriage Index at GenealogySA, and no Henry Boucher birth at RootsWeb, nor on the World War Two Nominal Roll. Trove searching did not yield anything, so they remain a mystery at this stage 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/boucher_henry_james_&_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Qm91Y2hlcg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Evelyn Maude Boughen died aged 72 years on 9 April 1966; William Henry Boughen died aged 87 years on 22 July 1973 (1), these were presumably husband and wife. The LDS website tells us that William Henry Boughen was born 30 Jun 1886 Glanville SA. His father was George Boughen b1858 Glanville, died 31 Jan 1897 Mundoora SA, who was married 5 Sep 1885 Glanville to William Henry Boughen’s mother Mary Louisa Cox born 9 Jul 1862 Aldinga SA (2). The William Boughen Marriage Index reveals that William Henry Boughen was married in 1919 to Evelyn Maude Berriman in the Gilbert District (3). The Evelyn Berriman Birth Index confirms she was born in 1894 to parents Albert James Berriman and Georgina Murray in the Gilbert District (4). According to the LDS website, Albert James Berriman was b1863, christened 11 Sep 1863 Kadina SA, and died 8 Jan 1924 SA. His father was James Berriman (b1834 Cornwall, England) who was married 24 Dec 1862 at the Moonta Mines SA to Ottilie Friebe (born 19 May 1840 Prussia, died 15 Feb 1908 Saddleworth). Albert James Berriman was a butcher residing in Saddleworth. He was married 17 Jan 1891 Saddleworth to Georgina McLean Murray (b1871, died 1 Jun 1946 Prospect). Their children, all born in Saddleworth included [1] Norman Locksley Berriman born 24 Jan 1893; [2] Evelyn Berriman born 8 Apr 1894; [3] Coral Agnes Berriman born 15 Sep 1895; [4] Irving Murray Berriman born 10 Dec 1896, and died 1917; [5] Adelina Berriman born 12 Mar 1898, died 6 Apr 1899 Saddleworth; (6) Myra Isabella Berriman born 13 Apr 1900; [7] Albert Gordon Berriman born 31 Mar 1903; [8] At least one Living child (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/boughen_evelyn_maude_&_william_henry.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I55180&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qm91Z2hlbg==&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmVycmltYW4=&g=RXZlbHlu&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I231666&tree=SouthAustralia Charles Eric Bowyer died aged 62 years on 18 Dec 1954; his wife Sarah Bowyer died aged _8 years on 16 Aug 1989 (1), once again it wouldn’t have been too hard to have temporarily moved the flowers before taking the shot showing her age. They were the parents of Thelma, ???, ?Sarah and Stanley. The Sarah Bowyer search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows the Sarah
Bowyer Memorial Inscription which says she died aged 88y in 1989 (2). The Charles Bowyer Birth Index shows that Charles Eric Bowyer was born in 1892 to parents George Bowyer and Eleanor Williamson in the Yankalilla District (3). The Charles Bowyer Marriage Index says Charles Eric Bowyer was married in 1922 to Sarah Parsons in the Daly District (4). The Sarah Parsons Birth Index reveals three Sarah Parsons with no middle name, and a further eight Sarah Parsons with middle names, but only one of these within 6 years either side of the year 1900: Sarah Parsons was born in 1900 to parents Charles Parsons and Sarah Jane Grundy in the Daly District (5). From the LDS website, Charles Eric Bowyer’s father George Bowyer was born 20 Apr 1850 Cowlinge, Suffolk, England, Christened 19 May 1850 Cowlinge, and died 13 Jun 1913 Yankalilla SA, having come to SA as a child 1855 on the Norman. His parents were Thomas Henry Bowyer (born 2 Jan 1810 Cowlinge, died 16 Oct 1879 Yankalilla and Rebecca Root (b1810 England and died 25 Oct 1869 Salt Creek SA), they having married 8 Nov 1833 Stradishall, Suffolk, England. George Bowyer married twice. He was married on 20 Jan 1881 at Christ Church, Yankalilla to Mary Ann Roads (b1862 to parents Thomas and Martha Roads, and she died 20 Feb 1886 Yankalilla), and had two children with Mary Ann [1] Frederick Thomas Bowyer born 12 Jun 1883 Yankalilla; [2] George Bowyer b1885 SA and died 1936. George Bowyer then was married on 16 Mar 1887 in Yankalilla to Eleanor Williamson (b1861, and died 8 Jan 1942 Yankalilla and is buried there). George and Eleanor had five more children, all born at Yankalilla [1] Emily Rebeka Bowyer born 27 Feb 1888; [2] Rose Mary Bowyer born 27 Oct 1890, died 1980 Yankalilla; [3] Charles Eric Bowyer born 24 Nov 1892; [4] Amy May Bowyer born 26 May 1895; [5] Ernest Herbert Bowyer born 8 Jan 1898 (6). Also at the LDS website, Sarah Parsons’ father Charles Parsons was born in 1840 (father was James Parsons) and died 13 Nov 1914 at Hawker SA. Charles Parsons was married on 6 Feb 1879 at the residence of the bride’s father in Curramulka SA to Sarah Jane Grundy who was born 16 Apr 1861 Willunga SA. Their children, all born at Curramulka, were [1] John James Parsons born 5 Oct 1879; [2] Ellen Parsons born 5 Sep 1880; [3] Jane Parsons born 13 Jul 1885; [4] Edith Parsons born 8 Mar 1891; [5] Emma Parsons born 15 Jun 1898; [6] Sarah Parsons born 13 Dec 1900; [7] Charles William Parsons born 4 Feb 1903 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bowyer_charles_eric_&_sarah.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Qm93eWVy&g=U2FyYWg=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Qm93eWVy&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qm93eWVy&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=UGFyc29ucw==&g=U2FyYWg=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I2302&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I28532&tree=SouthAustralia 73 Florence Edith Boxer died aged 74 yrs on 8 Aug 1958; her husband Percy Edward Boxer died aged 97 yrs on 18 Dec 1974; parents of Myra Olive Mahoney who died aged 79? on 11 Dec ?1995 (1). According to the LDS website, Percy Edward Boxer was born 2 Jun 1877 at Cape Cassina SA. His parents were John Boxer (b1845, died 14 May 1883 Cape Cassina) and Marianne Laker Hamilton (born 27 May 1849 Happy Valley SA), who married 10 Oct 1871 Kingscote SA. Percy Edward Boxer was married on 12 Oct 1902 at Queenscliffe, Kangaroo Island to Florence Edith Hall b1884. They had at least 2 children, the oldest being Edith May Boxer born 1 Jul 1903 Shoal Bay SA (2). I cannot find Florence Edith Boxer nee Hall’s actual date of birth, so at this stage I’ll have to settle for the year. Many Florence Halls appear on the Birth Index, but not one born in 1884, which I’m sure is correct. There is a notice in the South Australian Register of Thursday 8 May 1884 Supplement p3: “Hall. On the 26th April, at Osmond-terrace, Norwood, the wife of James Hall, of a daughter” (3). It may be her, there are no other Hall girls announced in the papers in 1844, but there’s no proof it is her. A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people doesn’t show a suitably aged Florence Edith Hall amongst the births in SA (4), and nothing else else shows up on Trove searches 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/boxer_florence_edith_&_percy_edward.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I54782&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43656546?searchTerm=Florence%20Hall&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=259602 74 This is a memorial to Bob Boys, but nothing more is said on the memorial (1).A second memorial says RA Boys died aged 44 years on 22 Jan 1944 (2). The backgtrounds in these photos seem similar, and maybe from the same grave. If so, it is tempting to assume that RA Boys had a first name Robert, and hence Bob Boys. The ‘all Boys’ search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription for RA (Bob) Boys who died in 1944, and the Burial Register has an entry for Robert Andrew Boys (3). So I am happy that both headstones refer to the same person, so for my database, I’ll combine them into a single entry. The only entries for Robert Andrew Boys at GenealogySA apart from the Cemetery references above are in the marriage and death indexes. The Robert Boys Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Robert Andrew Boys was married in 1928 to Edith Dorith Edwards in the Frome District (4). The Robert Boys Death Index confirms that Robert Andrew Boys died in Gawler in 1944 (5). Why in Gawler? His mother lived there: “Death: Boys. On January 22, at his mother's residence, Bright street, Willaston, Robert Andrew, dearly beloved husband of Dorith Edith Boys, of Arno Bay, aged 44 years. At rest.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 27 January 1944 p13 (6). A search of SA births on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people doesn’t show Robert Andrew Boys, nor any surname that sounds like that. The ‘all Boys’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1928 Norma Lillian Boys was born to parents Robert Andrew Boys and Edith Dorith Edwards in the Frome District (7), but I cannot find a record of RA Boys’ birth despite extensive searching on Trove. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/boys_bob.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/boys_r.a..jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Qm95cw==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qm95cw==&g=Um9iZXJ0IEFuZHJldw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Qm95cw==&g=Um9iZXJ0IEFuZHJldw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92714991?searchTerm=Edith%20Dorith%20Boys&searchLimits= 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Qm95cw==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 75 Marian Broadbent died 15 Oct 1930 and this heart-shaped stone says she was a mother (1). A white marble military headstone proclaims Corporal R Broadbent [H Field Ambulance] who died aged 66 years on 4 Jan 1947; below this stone, another says his wife Millicent May Broadbent died aged 52 years on 18 July 1948, although some charmer has been defacing the dates a little (2). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery states that Millicent May died in 1848, although this is illogical if she was married to Cpl R who wasn’t yet born when she is said to have died (3). An ‘R Broadbent’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries shows Rowland Broadbent on the Burial Register and a Memorial Inscription for R Broadbent who was 66 years old when he died in 1947 (4). The Gawler WWI Honour Roll website says Rowland Broadbent was born 21 Aug 1880, son of Arthur Broadbent and Fanny Drew. During WWI his next of kin was his wife Marian Broadbent from Wilmington. His injuries including mustard gas pursued him till the end of his life. He became a Methodist Minister after the war (5). The Rowland Broadbent Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows he married twice
(1) Marian Chapple in 1911; (2) Millicent May Draper in 1931 (6). The first Mrs Broadbent’s Obituary “The Late Mrs Marian Broadbent. In the Tod street Methodist Church Gawler, on October 26th, an In Memorian was held as a tribute to the late Mrs Marian Broadbent of Gawler, who died, after a lingering illness, on October 15th. The Rev CW Smith gave an impressive address, embodying a history of the deceased. Mrs Broadbent was born at Vincent Square, Westminster, London, on April 28, 1874. She came of Godly and cultured parents (the late Mr and Mrs Frederick Chapple), and arrived with them in this State in 1876 ... etc....” Bunyip, Friday 7 November 1930 p7 (7). According to the LDS files, Millicent May Draper was born 29 Dec 1895 at Bertha SA to parents Charles Draper (born 11 Jun 1868 Gawler) and Catherine Eyers (born 25 Apr 1869 at Bertha) who had married on 2 Jun 1892 at Hindmarsh SA (8). The second Mrs Broadbent, Millicent May’s 1948 Death: “Broadbent. On July 18th, at Memorial Hospital NA, Millicent May, widow of Rowland Broadbent, and dearly loved sister of Doris, Amy, Bruce and Olive, aged 52 years.” Bunyip, Friday 30 July 1948 p7 (9) [Presumably NA is an abbreviation of North Adelaide]. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/broadbent_marian.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/broadbent_r_&_millicent_may.jpg 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJvYWRiZW50&g=Ug==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/ 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJvYWRiZW50&g=Um93bGFuZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96665462/9537210?zoomLevel=3 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I163253&tree=SouthAustralia 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96848026?searchTerm=Millicent%20May%20Broadbent&searchLimits= 76 Patrick Joseph Broderick died aged 20 years on 12 Jan 1896 (1), this headstone being hard to read, even when enlarging the print. The Patrick Broderick search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows the Patrick Joseph Broderick Memorial Inscription saying he died aged 28 years in 1896 (2). So we need independent confirmation of his age at death. And here it is: on the Town of Gawler’s Willaston Cemetery Burial Register, Patrick J Broderick aged 28 years who last resided in Adelaide was buried 14/1/1896 in Plot/Grave/Niche 45 B 3, with Rev Father Carr officiating (3). Being 28 when he died in January 1896, he would have been born c1868, or more likely statistically to be 1867. Patrick Joseph Broderick is married: “Marriage: Broderick—Leahy. On the 29th November, at St Ignatius Church, Norwood, by the Rev J Peters SJ, Patrick Joseph, youngest son of the late Wm Broderick, of Gawler, to Catherine (Kitty), eldest daughter of James Leahy, Globe Hotel, Kensington.” Bunyip, Friday 14 December 1888 p2 (4). William Broderick died aged 61 yrs on 12 March 1880; his wife Mary Broderick died aged 80 yrs on 29 Nov 1898, their headstone was erected by their sons (5). The William Broderick Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1857 to Mary Cain (6). The ‘all Broderick’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Broderick and Mary Cain shows no children were recorded to this pair (7), despite their headstone being erected by their sons. William Broderick dies: “Death: Broderick. On the 12th instant, at his residence, Church Hill, Gawler, William Broderick, aged 60. May he rest in peace.” Bunyip, Friday 12 March 1880 p2 (8). Gawler Tuesday 29 Nov: “Mrs Mary Broderick, a resident of the town for over forty years, and widow of the late Mr W Broderick, for many years Corporation foreman, died this morning. Mr DJ Broderick, of Port Adelaide, and Mr W Broderick, of Gawler, are sons.” South Australian Register, Wednesday 30 November 1898 p3 (9). The Late Mrs Mary Broderick. Another very old resident of the town passed over to the great majority on Tuesday morning in the person of Mrs Mary Broderick of Church Hill. The deceased lady, who had attained the age of 79 years, arrived in this neighborhood 45 years ago when a single woman. A few months after she walked from Onetree Hill, where she was at service, to Port Adelaide to meet the vessel which brought her brother, the late Mr John Kain, and by the same vessel arrived Mr William Broderick, to whom she was subsequently married. Mr Broderick settled at Gawler and remained here till his death, which occurred 18 years ago. He was Corporation foreman for many years and was popular alike amongst his friends and the municipal authorities. Mrs Broderick was warm-hearted and hindly dispositioned, and devotion to her family and friends was a special feature of her character. The later years of her life were saddened by the loss of her husband and two sons, the late Messrs NA and PJ Broderick. There survive two sons, Messrs DJ Broderick of Port Adelaide, and William Broderick of Gawler.” Bunyip, Friday 2 Dec 1898 p2 (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/broderick_patrick_joseph.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJvZGVyaWNr&g=UGF0cmljaw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30826 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97229177?searchTerm=Patrick%20Joseph%20Broderick&searchLimits=l-title=371 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/broderick_william_&_mary.jpg 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJvZGVyaWNr&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJvZGVyaWNr&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/99825816?searchTerm=william%20broderick&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/56545115?searchTerm=mary%20broderick&searchLimits= 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97582509?searchTerm=mary%20broderick&searchLimits= 77 There is very little information here, just “Also Myrtle their daughter who died in infancy” (1). At least from the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2) we know she is Myrtle Broderick. “Deaths. Broderick. On the 5th November, at Murray-street, Gawler, Myrtle, infant daughter of PJ and K Broderick, aged 2 months.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 6 November 1889 p4 (3). On the Town of Gawler’s Willaston Cemetery Burial Register, there is a Myrtle Agnes Broderick (Child) aged 5 years from Gawler who was buried 10/01/1901 in Plot/Grave/Niche 50 C 3, with Prior Kindlan officiating (4). But Myrtle Agnes is not an infant, by definition that applies in medical circles to those less than one year of age (5). So if Myrtle died aged 2 months on 5 Nov 1889, she would have likely been born Sept [or even Aug] 1889. My guess from the initials of her parents, she was the daughter of Patrick Joseph and Catherine (Kitty) Leahy, whom we met in Note 76. In fact, there were two Myrtle Broderick children who died in the Barossa District, as can be seen from the Myrtle Broderick Death Index at GenealogySA [1] Myrtle Broderick died in 1889, daughter of Paterick[sic] Joseph Broderick; [2] Myrtle Agnes Broderick died in 1901, daughter of Nicholas Alysius Broderick – see Note 78 (6). Finally found Myrtle’s Death Notice: “Deaths: Broderick. On the 5th November, at Murray-street, Gawler, Myrtle, infant daughter of PJ and K T Broderick, aged 9 months.” Bunyip, Friday 8 November 1889 p2 (7), so my estimate of her date of birth is revised to 1889-02. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/broderick_myrtle.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/24487814?searchTerm=Infant%20Myrtle%20Broderick&searchLimits= 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31014 5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant

We are not told their relationships but guessing would be that Miriam and Nicholas were married and their son was Joseph, to be sharing the headstone. An ‘all Broderick’ search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery reveals Miriam Harriet Broderick died aged 89 in 1948; Nicholas N Broderick died aged 39 years in 1898; and Joseph Francis Broderick is buried here (2). Miriam H Broderick’s death notice: “Broderick. On November 27 (suddenly), at her residence, 18 Finniss street, Gawler, Miriam Harriet, widow of Nicholas Broderick, in her 90th year. Requiescat in pace.” The Advertiser, Monday 28 November 1949 p16 (3). The Gawler Council’s Burial Register at Willaston Cemetery shows Nicholas N Broderick aged 39 yrs who last resided in Gawler was buried 5/2/1898 in Plot/Grave/Niche 50 C 3, with Father Carr officiating (4). Joseph Francis Broderick’s death notice: “Broderick. On August 9, Joseph Francis, beloved second son of Miriam and the late Nicholas Broderick, of 18 Finniss street, Gawler, aged 65 years. Requiescat in pace”. News (Adelaide), Wednesday 11 August 1948 p10 (5). Still need to confirm Miriam’s maiden name and Nicholas N’s middle name. “Late Mrs Broderick was Oldest Parishioner: Mrs M Broderick aged 89 years, who died at her home in Finniss Street on 27th November was the oldest parishioner of SS Peter's & Paul's, Gawler. Her husband, Mr Nicholas Broderick, who conducted a saddlery business where the Aero garage now stands, died at the age of 38 yrs. The late Mrs Broderick was a foundation member of the St Vincent de Paul Society and took an active part in church work. On the Friday prior to her death, she assisted at Convent school examinations as a supervisor. Four grandsons were pallbearers at the funeral which left the church following Requiem Mass celebrated by Rev Father Sparkes on Tuesday, 29th November. Children surviving are Miss M Broderick, Mr P Broderick, Mr N Broderick (Lucy) Mrs Finn, and Miss D Broderick. Others who predeceased were (Mary) Mrs Wilson, (Nell) Mrs Bowler, Will, Joe, Denis and Myrtle. There are 22 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren”. Bunyip, Friday 9 December 1949 p2 (6). “Broderick. On the 4th February, at Church Hill, Gawler, of heat apoplexy, NA Broderick, the beloved husband of MH Broderick, aged 39.” Bunyip, Friday 11 February 1898 p2 (7). My strong suspicion is that there is no Nicholas N Broderick, but that was a mistake on the Burial Register and headstone. He died 4th Feb, not 5th February. The Nicholas Broderick Birth Index shows that a Nicholas Aloysius Broderick was born in 1897 to parents Nicholas Aloysius Broderick and Mariam[sic] Harriet Watts (8), so was he really a Nicholas A, not Nicholas N? The Nicholas Broderick Marriage Index shows that a Nicholas Broderick was married in 1879 to Miriam Watts in the Clare District (9). “Magistrates' Court Gawler. Tuesday, February 9. [Before Mr W Johnstone SM] NA Broderick was fined 5s for being drunk in Finniss-street on the previous evening.” Bunyip, Friday 12 February 1897 p4 (10). A search of SA Births at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows neither Miriam Harriet Watts nor Joseph Francis Broderick on their records. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/broderick_nicholas_n,_miriam_h_&_joseph_f.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJvZGVyaWNr&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35779680?searchTerm=Nicholas%20Broderick%20Miriam&searchLimits= 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30166 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/129910854?searchTerm=Nicholas%20Broderick%20Miriam&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96854580?searchTerm=Broderick&searchLimits=l-title=371 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97580301?searchTerm=Broderick&searchLimits=l-title=371 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJvZGVyaWNr&g=TmljaG9sYXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJvZGVyaWNr&g=TmljaG9sYXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97578363?searchTerm=Broderick&searchLimits=l-title=371 79 Percy C Brook died aged 76 years on 11 April 1974; his wife Gertrude Brook died aged 91 years on 31 July 1990. Percy was father of Thelma, Gertrude was mother of Kevin, Ross and Max. Presumably this was a second marriage for them both. The Percy Brook Birth Index on GenealogySA shows only one Percy C Brook and this was Percy Charles Alfred Brook who was born in 1897 to parents Walter Charles Brook and Kate Norman in the Frome District (2). The Percy Brook Marriage Index shows that Percy Charles Alfred Brook Percy Charles Alfred Brook was married in 1921 to Uzillah Maude Millicent McKay in the Frome District (3). The Thelma Brook Birth Index shows that Thelma Maude Brook was born in 1922 to parents Percy Charles Alfred Brook and Uzillah Maude Millicent McKay in the Frome District (4).According to the LDS website, Percy Charles Alfred Brook was born 2 Nov 1897 Orroroo SA to parents Walter Charles Brook {born 31 Dec 1862 Levis Waterhole SA} and Kate Norman {born 3 Jun 1864 Saddleworth SA}, who were married 25 Mar 1885 Pekina SA (5). The Uzillah Brook Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Uzillah Maude Millicent Brook died in 1961 in the Burra District, with her husband Percy Charles Alfred Brook her nominated relative (6). The Savill Index for funeral notices appearing in the Advertiser has one for Gertrude Maude Jean Brook on 1990-08-02 (7). But if Gertrude married Percy after his first wife Uzillah died in 1961, then our Trove searching won’t pick up her former surname, as we can only get up to the mid-1950s. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brook_percy_c_&_gertrude.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJvb2s=&g=UGVyY3k=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJvb2s=&g=UGVyY3k=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJvb2s=&g=VGhlbG1h&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I99864&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QnJvb2s=&g=VXppbGxhaA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 80 Henry B Brooks died aged 57 years on 13 April 1927; his wife Caroline Brooks died aged 86 on 18 Aug 1956 (1). The Henry Brooks search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Henry Blacker Brooks was 57 years old when he died in 1927 (2). The “C Brooks” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscriptions for Caroline Brooks who died aged 86 years in 1956 (3). The Henry Brooks Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Henry Blacker Brooks was married in 1898 to Caroline Adams in the Hindmarsh District (4). On the LDS site, Henry Blackler Brooks was born 17 Dec 1869 Gawler to parents John Blackler Brooks (born c1834, died 4 Dec 1895 Adelaide) and Emily Smith (b1834, died 17 Feb 1907 Gawler) who had married on 3 Jul 1858 in Gawler.

According to the LDS website, John Blackler Brooks was born c1834 and died 3 Dec 1895 Adelaide. His parents were John Brooks and Mary Blackler. John Blackler Brooks arrived in SA 1854-55 on the Fortitude. He was a painter and lived in McLaren Vale and Gawler. He was married on 3 July 1858 in Gawler to Emily Smith b1834 (parents Henry Smith and Bessie Capener), and died 17 Feb 1907 Gawler. Their children included [1] Harriet Emily Brooks born 4 Jun 1859, Gawler; [2] Eliza Annie Finch nee Brooks born 16 Apr 1861 Gawler, died 10 Apr 1941 SA; [3] Mary Brooks born 13 Jul 1863 Gawler; [4] Evangeline Brooks born 11 May 1865 Gawler; [5] John Smith Brooks born 31 May 1867 Gawler; [6] Henry Blackler Brooks born 17 Dec 1869 Gawler; [7] James Arthur Brooks born 31 Oct 1871 Gawler, died 1 Dec 1901 Gawler; [8] Elsie Olive Brooks born 19 Oct 1873 Gawler, died 2 Aug 1904, Gawler; [9] Philip Brooks born 31 Dec 1877 Gawler (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/ab/brooks_john_blackler,_emily,_james_arthur,_elsie_olive_&_evangeline.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I153530&tree=SouthAustralia 82 Elizabeth Coombe died aged 82 yrs on 6 Nov 1901; her husband Ephraim Coombe died aged 80 yrs on 10 Sept 1908 (1). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has reversed their ages and dates of death, saying that Elizabeth died aged 80 yrs in 1908 and Ephraim died aged 82 yrs in 1901 (2), but that is not what the headstone says. Using data on the LDS website, Ephraim Coombe was born in Sept 1828 [his father was John Coombe] at Goodleigh, Devon, England and died on 10 Sep 1908 in Willaston SA. He arrived in SA in 1855 from NSW, and was a farm labourer, postmaster and storeman who had lived in Gawler and Willaston. Ephraim Coombe was first married on 27 Oct 1857 in Gawler to Mary Lock b1835 Dorset, England (her father was Henry Lock), and she died 23 Feb 1864 Gawler River. Their children were [1] Ephraim Henry Coombe born 26 Aug 1858 Gawler, died 5 Apr 1917, Semaphore SA; [2] William Coombe born 29 Jul 1860 Gawler, died 6 Aug 1860 Gawler; [3] Thomas Coombe born 21 Jun 1861 Gawler; [4] Elizabeth Ann Coombe born 21 May 1863 Gawler, died 24 Nov 1863 Gawler. Ephraim Coombe married a second time on 22 Feb 1866 in Brompton SA to woman 8 years his senior, Elizabeth Tall b1819, died 6 Nov 1901 Willaston (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/coombe_elizabeth_&_ephraim.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I175295&tree=SouthAustralia 83 EH Coombe died 4 April 1917, husband of Sarah F Coombe. Their son Lieut HH Coombe (10th Battalion) died in France 23 Aug 1918 (1). The “E Coombe’ search on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows on the Memorial Inscription that EH Coombe died in 1917, and on the Burial Register names him Ephraim Henry Coombe (2). Using LDS data, Ephraim Henry Coombe was born on 26 Aug 1858 in Gawler and died 5 Apr 1917 Semaphore as above. He was a journalist, newspaper editor, MP who had lived in Willaston and Gawler. Ephraim Henry Coombe was married on 1 Mar 1880 in Adelaide to Sarah Susannah Fraser Heywood b1861 (her father was Samuel Heywood). Their children included [1] Harry Heywood Coombe born 10 Oct 1880 Willaston; [2] James Bright Coombe born 13 Sep 1884 Gawler; [3] Samuel Walter Coombe born 5 Jan 1889 Gawler; [4] Daisy Neville Coombe born 5 Nov 1890 Willaston; [5] Mary Lock Coombe born 23 Sep 1892 Gawler, died 12 Oct 1893 Gawler; [6] Ernest John Hiscock Coombe born 7 Jan 1895 Gawler, d1938; [7] Catherine Helen Spencer Coombe born 28 Jan 1898 Gawler (3). The Harry Coombe Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Harry Heywood Coombe married Margaret Florence McLeod of Balaklava [the Gilbert District] in 1900 (4). Harry’s death is recorded thus: The Roll of Honor. "Faithful unto Death". Australian Soldiers. Died for Their Country. Lieutenant Harry Heywood Coombe, who was killed in action on August 23, in France, was the eldest son of the late Mr EH Coombe MP. Lieutenant Coombe, a married man with two sons, heard the call of his country in December, 1915, and was sent to Duntroon College to pass his examinations for a commission. He returned to Adelaide, and sailed on February 25 last. Lieutenant Coombe was bom in Gawler in 1880, and learnt his trade as fitter and turner at Way's Works. He married Margaret, third daughter of Mrs John McLeod, of Balaklava. After working for four or five years at Broken Hill he entered the Government Loco sheds at Port Wakefield. He was a municipal councillor for four years, and was active in lodge, public and sporting bodies. The family had a splendid farewell on the eve of their removal to Adelaide. Whilst Lieutenant Coombe was in camp he heard of the tragic end of his father, and he immediately assumed control of all mortuary requirements, thus lifting a great burden off his mother's shoulders. So honorably had he performed life's duties that he was selected on a plebiscite as a worthy successor to his father in political affairs. He went fearlessly to do the duty he believed his country required of him, and his name is enrolled with those of other brave men, who sacrificed their all, that Australia might be free.” The Advertiser, Thursday 12 September 1918 p10 (5). Searching Harry Coombe’s wife Margaret Florence McLeod on the LDS website reveals that Margaret Florence McLeod was born 17 May 1879 at Grace Plains SA to parents John McLeod and Mary Bethune. Margaret was married on 27 Dec 1900 at Port Wakefield SA to Harry Heywood Coombe. Their children were [1] Alick Ephraim Coombe born 9 Apr 1902 Gawler; [2] Stuart John Fraser Coombe born 26 Dec 1903 Gawler (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/coombe_e.h+._&_h.h..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q29vbWJl&g=RQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I175252&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29vbWJl&g=SGFycnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5589633?searchTerm=Harry%20Heywood%20Coombe&searchLimits=l-title=34 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I49690&tree=SouthAustralia 84 CH Brooks aged 74 at rest (1). Not much here to go on, even the names of whoever else is buried here at this grave-site would help. The Savill Index for funeral notices in the Advertiser has a Cyril Henry Brooks notice on 1997-06-10 (2), so is this the CH Brooks we’re seeking? No such luck, the Cyril Brooks search at South Australia Cemeteries shows Cyril Henry Brooks was buried in Enfield Memorial Park in 1997 (3). The “C Brooks” search at South Australia Cemeteries for shows only one name on the Willaston Cemetery Burial Register, that of Caroline Brooks. There are two Memorial Inscriptions: [1] Caroline Brooks who died aged 86 years in 1956; [2] CH Brooks who was 74 years old when he died (4). On the WW2 Nominal Roll, there are seven possible CH Brooks who were in WW2, and two of these were from South Australia. One was the Cyril Henry Brooks already excluded, the other possible is Clive Hudson Brooks born 13 Aug 1913 in Norwood SA and enlisted in the Army on the 9 Jul 1942 in Barmera SA, with next of kin Edith Brooks. On discharge 15 Feb 1946, he had attained the rank of Corporal (5). The Clive Brooks search at Newspaper Death Notices show death notices for Clive Hudson Brooks in the 2003 Advertiser (6). So he was 90 years old when he died, not 74, so not our CH Brooks either! Some other searches on possible also lead nowhere, so we must with reluctance stop until more clues are given. We don’t even know if 74 years old CH Brooks is male or female. Just a thought, is it GH, not CH, Brooks? The ‘G Brooks’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery
shows only one G Brooks on the Burial Register and that is George Hugh Brooks (7). The George Brooks Death Index shows that George Hugh Brooks died in Gawler in 1943 (8). So was George Hugh Brooks born in c1869? {1943 minus 74} Unfortunately there is no George Hugh Brooks on the George Brooks Birth Index at GenealogySA, nor is he on the SA Births data at RootsWeb, so we must go through old newspapers on Trove. George Hugh Brooks dies in Gawler aged 74 yrs: “Deaths: Brooks. On January 18, at the residence of Mr HA Heinrlch, 32 Seventh street, Gawler South, George Hugh Brooks, aged 74 years (Suddenly)” The Advertiser, Tuesday 19 January 1943 p6 (9). We cannot find a CH Brooks, and the headstone now seems to be clearly GH, and this Brooks died and is buried in Gawler aged 74 yrs. George Hugh Brooks would seem to fit very well 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brooks_c.h..jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJvb2tz&g=Q3lyaWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJvb2tz&g=Qw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=684428 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QnJvb2tz&g=Q2xpdmU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJvb2tz&g=Rw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QnJvb2tz&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48898345?searchTerm=%22george%20Hugh%22%20brooks&searchLimits= 85 Elizabeth must have been Elizabeth Brown at some stage to have a son named Mervyn Brown, but was she buried as Elizabeth Brown? Whatever her final surname, she died on 9 Aug 1949 (1). An Elizabeth Brown search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows only one name on the Burial Register, Elizabeth Caul Brown and there is an Elizabeth Brown who died in 1949 on a Memorial Inscription (2). The ‘all Lindberg’ search at Genealogysa’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows that on the Burial Register is Elizabeth Lindberg (3), meaning that although the headstone may infer Elizabeth Brown, she is actually buried as Elizabeth Lindberg. There are two births of Mervyn Brown on the Birth Index, but neither had a mother called Elizabeth (4). A Mervyn Brown search of family announcements in newspapers using Trove, shows: “Lindberg. On August 8 at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Elizabeth, the dearly loved mother of Mervyn Brown, of Bordertown. Aged 42 years. At rest.” Chronicle, Thursday 11 August 1949 p32 (5). Although this says she died on the 8th Aug, not the 9th, it is a very good match otherwise. So she died as Mrs Lindberg aka Brown. The Mervyn Brown search at South Australia Cemeteries reveals a Mervyn John Brown aged 66 years on the Bordertown Cemetery’s Burial Register (6), and a search of Mervyn Brown at Newspaper Death Notices shows Mervyn John Brown’s notice in the 1997 Advertiser (7). The Savill Index tells us that Mervyn John Brown’ funeral notice appeared in the Advertiser on 1997-09-10 (8). Divorce Orders: Orders nisi were granted by Mr Justice Ligertwood, in the Supreme Court today, in the following undefended divorce actions: .... Victor Waldemar Lindberg, builder, of Keith, against Elizabeth Lindberg, of Hampstead road, Manningham, on the ground of adultery with John Brown, formerly of Adelaide, now of Melbourne (Victoria)....” News (Adelaide), Tuesday 24 June 1947 p3 (9). My premise is that Elizabeth ____ was married to Victor Lindberg but went off with John Brown, possibly to Melbourne, and had a son called Mervyn. I cannot find a record on Trove nor GenealogySA of her marriage to Victor Lindberg but it must have happened as he sought a divorce. Elizabeth’s maiden name remains a mystery. “Engagements: Martlew—Brown. The engagement is announced of Shirley, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs AS Martlew, of Mundalla, to Mervyn, only son of Mr F Brown, of Adelaide, and Mrs E Lindberg, of Gawler.” The Advertiser, Thursday 3 February 1949 p12 (10). Just as I had formed a theory, I found: “Divorce: Victor Waldimir Lindberg, wharf employee, of Meade street, Sandwell, against Grace Olive Lindberg and Patrick Shelly, both of College road, Kent Town, on ground of adultery.” The Advertiser, Thursday 26 June 1941 p11 (11). Is this the same husband, and if so, how can he divorce another before he divorces Elizabeth? It could be that Elizabeth had Mervyn Brown c1931 and maybe even was married to Mr Brown, and she didn’t marry Victor until after he had divorced from Olive and she had divorced from Mr Brown. If true, Elizabeth was married to Victor in the early 1040’s but the marriage was shortlived. All conjecture and it doesn’t help show her maiden name 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJvd24=&g=RWxpemFiZXRo&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGluZGJlcmc=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJvd24=&g=TWVydnlu&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93218130?searchTerm=Mervyn%20Brown&searchLimits= 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJvd24=&g=TWVydnlu&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QnJvd24=&g=TWVydnlu&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/127300145?searchTerm=Lindberg%20Elizabeth%20Brown&searchLimits= 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36351156?searchTerm=Lindberg%20Elizabeth&searchLimits= 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45011572?searchTerm=Lindberg%20Elizabeth&searchLimits= 86 Harold Victor Brown died 11 Feb 1963; his wife Gladys Myrtle Brown died 31 July 1997; parents of Ruth and Gerald (1). There is a second military (Army Provost Corps) headstone for a Corporal HV Brown with the same date of death as Harold Victor Brown, and telling us he was aged 61 years when he died in 1963 (2). These two headstones refer to the one person, which I’ve collapsed down to one entry. On the WW2 Nominal Roll, the Army Service Record for Harold Victor Brown shows he was born 13 Oct 1901 in Gawler, and enlisted at Wayville on 28 May 1941, with Gladys Brown as his next of kin. He was discharged on 8 Nov 1945 (2). On the Harold Brown Marriage Index we find that Harold Victor Brown married Gladys Myrtle Baldock in 1933 (4). The Gladys Baldock Birth Index shows that Gladys Myrtle Baldock was born in 1910 to parents Walter Robert Baldock and Elizabeth Thomas Boyd (5). The Harold Victor Brown Birth Index confirms his 1901 birth, to parents Charles Stanley Brown and Eva May Grigg in the Crawford District (6). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Gladys Myrtle Baldock was born on 12 Nov 1910 in Streaky Bay SA to parents Walter Robert Baldock and Elizabeth Thomas Boyd (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown_harold_victor_&_gladys_myrtle.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown__h.v..jpg 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=676376 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJvd24=&g=SGFyb2xk&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFsZG9jaw==&g=R2xhZHlz&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJvd24=&g=SGFyb2xkIFZpY3Rvcg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I437946 87 RK Brown was a sapper in the Royal Australian Engineers, who died aged 45 on 2 July 1969; husband of Pat, father of Peter, Teresa,
Dorathea, David and Chris (1). The WW2 Nominal Roll for RK Brown with Service Number as on the headstone reveals the Australian Army Service Record for Private Ronald Keith Brown. He was born in Gawler on 24 Jan 1924, and enlisted from Willaston 10 Mar 1944, with next of kin A Brown. He was discharged 1 Aug 1946 (2). The Ronald Keith Brown Death Index confirms his death in 1969, the nominated relative was his wife Patty Brown of Adelaide (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown_r.k..jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=697915 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QnJvd24=&g=Um9uYWxkIEtlaXRo&c=&y=&r=MA== 88 William M Brown died aged 82 years on 11 March 1931; his wife Sophia died aged 71 years on 31 Oct 1924 (1). The William Brown Death Index shows William Mitchell Brown died in 1931 (2). According to the LDS website, William Mitchell Brown was born on 18 Mar 1850 SA, and died 11 Mar 1931 Gawler. (This means he was 80 years old, almost 81 years old, but not 82 as it says on the headstone). William was an egg merchant who had lived in Moonta, Kapunda and Gawler. His parents were Stephen Brown [born around 28 Jan 1812 Redruth, Cornwall, England, died 1 Dec 1872 Moonta Mines SA) and Jane Michell or Mitchell (born 25 Mar 1813 St Agnes, Cornwall, died 20 Aug 1887 Moonta Mines), who had married 24 Dec 1834 Redruth, Cornwall. William Mitchell Brown was married on 17 Sep 1869 at Moonta Mines to Sophia Sophy Reed born 7 Apr 1852 Cornwall, England (to parents John Reed and Mary Maria Nettle who had arrived in SA 29.5.1855 from England aboard the John Banks), and she died 31 Oct 1924 Gawler. William and Sophia’s children included [1] William Mitchell Brown born 19 Apr 1870 Moonta, and died after 2 days on 21 Apr 1870 Moonta; [2] Elizabeth Ann Mitchell Hillier nee Brown born 31 May 1871 Moonta, and died 20 Dec 1963; [3] William James Read Brown born 6 Sep 1873 Moonta Mines; [4] Horace Theodore Brown born 30 Nov 1875 Moonta Mines; [5] Matthew Herbert Brown born 16 Sep 1877 Saddleworth; [6] Jessie Maud Brown born 21 Oct 1879 nr Kapunda, died 6 Nov 1879 nr Kapunda; [7] Ethel May Caddy nee Brown born 10 Sep 1880 Ross Creek SA; [8] Arnold Jasper Brown born 19 Jul 1884 Ross Creek; [9] Beatrice Olive Sweeny nee Brown born 28 Nov 1888 Kapunda, and died 16 Aug 1966; [10] Leonard Brown born 27 Apr 1890 Ross Creek, died 29 April 1890; [11] Dulcie Maud Brown born 14 Sept 1892 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown_sophia_&_william_m.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QnJvd24=&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I197071&tree=SouthAustralia 89 Charlotte Jane Brown died aged 99 years and 9 months on 11 July 1950; William Edward Brown died aged 74 years on 19 Feb 1924 (1). The LDS website has William Edward Brown born in 1852, his father was George Brown. William Edward Brown was married on 14 Jul 1873 in Gawler to Charlotte Jane Couzner b1852 (so she was not 99 years and 9 months when she died, but still very old, maybe 98 years old). Their children were [1] Sarah Jane Brown born 14 May 1874 Willaston; [2] Mary Evis Brown born 23 Jan 1876 Gawler; [3] Emily Matilda Brown born 8 Aug 1877 Willaston; [4] William George Brown born 2 Oct 1879 Willaston; [5] Charlotte Ann Brown born 28 Oct 1881 Willaston; [6] Caroline Phoebe Brown born 8 Nov 1883 Willaston; [7] Florence Louisa Brown born 2 Jul 1885 Willaston (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that William Edward Brown was born on 22 Aug 1850 in Little Para, near Salisbury, Adelaide to parents William Brown and Mary Loveland (3), which is different to the parents shown on the LDS site, but fits the fact that he died in early 1924 if he was in his 74th year. Although I cannot find the exact birth date for Charlotte Jane Couzner, if she died aged 99 yrs and 9 mths on 11 July 1950, she must have been born about October 1850. In fact, a search using the website for Trove uncovers: “96th Birthday at Willaston: Mrs Charlotte Brown. Mrs Charlotte Jane Brown, of Drury Street, Willaston, received many congratulations on Sunday, October 13, the occasion of her 96th birthday. Living alone, but accompanied by her daughter, Mrs Pring, at night, Mrs Brown is quite active and continues to do her own housework. She is the mother of six daughters and two sons, all of whom, with the exception of one son, are still living. Mrs Brown has resided at Willaston for seventy eight years. She was born in a little cottage near Cockatoo Valley and married at the age of 23. Her husband died 21 years ago. Throughout her life Mrs Brown has been a keen needle worker but in recent years her eyesight has restricted activity in this direction. On her birthday Mrs Brown was visited by many of her friends. Among the visitors were the Mayor and Mayoress, Mr and Mrs Louis Ey.” Bunyip, Friday 25 October 1946 p8 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown_william_edward_&_charlotte_jane.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I63661&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I323795 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96848907?searchTerm=Charlotte%20Jane%20Brown&searchLimits= 90 Samuel Nicholson Buchan died aged 77 years on 18 Aug 1982; Alexander Nicholson Buchan died on 28 May 1946 (1). The ‘all Buchan’ search of GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms Memorial Inscriptions for Alexander Nicholson Buchan in 1946 and Samuel Nicholson Buchan aged 77 years in 1982 (2). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Samuel Nicholson Buchan died in 1962 (3), but it looks more like 1982 to me, and GenealogySA agree. The Samuel Buchan search at Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser shows two notices in 1982 for Samuel Nicholson Buchan (4), so he definitely did not die in 1962. On the Gawler Council’s Burial Register, Alexander Nicholson Buchan aged 46 yrs who last resided in Gawler was buried 29/05/1946 in Willaston Cemetery’s Plot/Grave/Niche 32 I 4, with Rev Bartlett officiating (5). GenealogySA has no Birth or Marriage details for Samuel and Alexander Buchan. A court report in the Advertiser of Wednesday 15 July 1936 p11 (6) may help explain it: “.. .... Alexander Nicholson Buchan, seaman, of Rosewater.. ... The superintendent of the Port Adelaide Methodist Mission (Rev AD McCutcheon) told the court that the defendant was an ex-naval man with an excellent discharge, which vouched for his character. ... The fine was paid immediately, and Buchan was released. .... .” An ex-naval man could have been born anywhere. Alexander N Buchan did not appear to be married, at least in SA. Alexander’s death notice supports the case Alexander and Samuel were not born in SA: “Buchan. On May 28, at Adelaide, Alexander Nicholson (Sandy), beloved eldest son of William and the late Katherine Buchan, of Perthshire, Scotland; loved brother of William, Frank, Catherine (Scotland), Samuel (Gawler), Archie and Roderick (deceased). At rest”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 6 June 1946 p16 (7). Sam the Milkman: “One of Gawler's milk vendors, Mr SN Buchan, had another bolt on Monday morning and had his milk float badly broken. Sam was doing his round in High St and when he came out from a house, found his turnout missing. Walking along the street he saw his vehicle badly jambed between an electric current standard and the fence, the horse and the shafts missing. The shafts were picked up later near the Triangle, and the horse was garnered from somewhere in the country. Although the jolt was sufficient to smash the float and release the horse, the milk cans remained intact”. Bunyip, Friday 7 May 1943 p1 (8). But not being born in SA the cahances of finding actual dates of birth are slim. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/buchan_samuel_nicholson_&_alexander_nicholson.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnVjaGFu&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QnVjaGFuIA==&g=U2FtdWVs&c=&y=&r=MA==

On July 3, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Blanche and Harold —a daughter (Dawn). Lived 4½ days. Special thanks to Dr Covernton and hospital staff for their kind attention”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 17 July 1947 p30 (3). The Gawler Council’s Burial Register says that Dawn Buckby aged 5 days from Gawler was buried 8/07/1947 in Willaston Cemetery Plot /Grave/ Niche 40 J 2, with Rev Howland officiating (4). There was no Harold Buckby on GenealogySA’s Marriage Index with a bride named Blanche, but a search using Trove revealed such a wedding: “Buckby— Pritchard. The marriage of Blanche, second daughter of Mr and Mrs WT Pritchard, of Red Banks, to Harold, eldest son of Mrs and the late Mr B Buckby, of Wasleys, was celebrated in the Red Banks Methodist Church. The Rev LD Rooety, of Angle Vale officiated. The bride, who entered the church with her brother, was in a frock of white satin. Her tulle veil was kept in place by a coronet of orange blossom. A sheaf of white gladioli with trails of tuberoses was carried. Mrs A Day, of Reeves Plains, bridegroom's sister, was matron of honor, with Miss Margery Hobbs, of Adelaide, bride's cousin, bridesmaid.

A ‘C Buckerfield’ search GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has CL Buckerfield on the Memorial Inscription but on the Burial Register it shows Constance Louisa Buckerfield (2). The ‘C Buckerfield’ Death Index shows that Constance Louisa Buckerfield died in 1954 in the Norwood District, with the nominated relative her living husband Douglas Eric Buckerfield (3). The Douglas Buckerfield Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows Douglas Eric Buckerfield was married in 1926 to Constance Louisa Geue in the Hindmarsh District (4). Constance Louisa Geue’s Birth Index does not appear at GenealogySA (5). The Douglas Eric Buckerfield Birth Index shows he was born in 1904 to parents Arthur Buckerfield and Polly Elizabeth York (6). The ‘all Buckerfield’ Birth Index seeking parents Arthur Buckerfield and Polly Elizabeth York shows they had 3 children [1] Elsie May Buckerfield b1894; [2] Lillie Gwendoline Buckerfield b1896; [3] Douglas Eric Buckerfield b1904 (7). On the Gawler Council’s Burial Register, Constance Louisa Buckerfield aged 46, who last resided in Gawler South, was buried 25/08/1954 at Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 17 N 4 (8). The ‘W Buckerfield’ Death Index at GenealogySA shows that the W Buckerfield who died in 1893 was William Henry Buckerfield (9). The LDS website says that William Henry Buckerfield was born about 1842. By occupation he was a saddler and blacksmith who had resided in Adelaide, Hamilton, Gawler and Gladstone, and he died 23 Mar 1893 Stockport SA. His parents were Henry William Buckerfield (b 7 Jun 1821 Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England, died 5 Mar 1895 Adelaide) and Ann Paskin (b1821, died 14 Mar 1865 Gawler). William Henry Buckerfield was married 21 Jan 1864 nr Gawler to Elizabeth Davey (born 21 Jan 1842 Cornwall, England to parents James Davey and Phillippa Harris, died 1932, and is buried at Mitcham SA). William Henry and Elizabeth’s children were [1] Albert Paskin Buckerfield born 21 Jan 1865 Gawler, died 1942; [2] William Buckerfield born 1868, died 1942; [3] Arthur Buckerfield born 26 Sep 1869 Hamilton SA; [4] Daisy Buckerfield [twin] born 15 Jan 1879 Gladstone SA, died 21 Apr 1882 Gladstone; [5] Lily Buckerfield [twin] born 15 Jan 1879 Gladstone (10). The LDS website says Arthur Buckerfield was born 26 Sep 1869 Hamilton SA, he was an engineer who lived in Gawler South. He was married on the 22 Dec 1892 in Gawler to Polly Elizabeth York b1868. Their children included [1] Elsie May Buckerfield born 10 Feb 1894 Gawler, died 19 Apr 1895 Gawler; [2] Lillie Gwendoline Buckerfield born 30 Oct 1896 Gawler; [3] Living child [we know it was Douglas Eric Buckerfield b1904) (11). “Buckerfield.

The ‘all Burkbey’ search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Memorial Inscriptions for Ann Murray Burkbey who died aged 83y in 1901, and William Henry Burkbey who died aged 91y in 1901 (2). Then, as if to cover their options, the ‘all Murray’ search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery’s Burial Register has just Ann Murray (3). Several pieces of independent evidence leads me to favour she was Ann Murray, and not Ann Murray Burkbey. The first is an article in the South Australian Register, Monday 11 September 1871 p3 (4). “Police Courts: Glenelg: Friday, September 8. Before Messrs WR Wigley (Mayor), and N Blyth JP, Mary and John Koen, of St Leonard's, Glenelg, were charged that they did, on the 6th instant, feloniously steal 2s 11d in money, and six buns, of the value of 6d, from the premises of William Henry Burkbey, baker, Glenelg. The prisoners pleaded guilty. Mrs Ann Murray deposed that on the day in question she caught the prisoners behind her counter, and the male prisoner taking the money out of the till. Upon taking hold of him he gave up the money produced, begging for forgiveness; but it not being the first time she would not do so. The girl ran away, leaving the buns behind. The Mayor stated he had received a letter from Sister Genevieve, Sisters of St Joseph, that they would, if allowed, take charge of female prisoner and take her out the Bay. Edward Koen, father of prisoners, consented to pay 3s per week towards her support. The Court thereon dismissed the girl, but ordered the boy to be whipped by the father.” The second piece of evidence is from the Town of Gawler’s website, Ann Murray aged 83 years who last resided in Gawler South was buried on 17/12/1901 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 4 B 2, with Rev HE Hughes officiating (5). This may merely reflect GenealogySA’s Burial Register (3), but the locals seem to think it correct at the time. I can find no evidence that William Henry Burkbey and Ann Murray were married, at GenealogySA, Trove newspaper searches, nor on the LDS site 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burkbey_william_henry.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnVya2JleQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TXVycmF5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/39246894?searchTerm=Burkbey&searchLimits= 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31069 97 CFT Burow died aged 63 years on 5 Sept 1922; his wife Dorothy Elizabeth Burow died aged 65 years on 8 Jan 1923 (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Dorothy Elizabeth Burow died in 1933, to me it looks more like 1923 (2). However, the ‘all Burow’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows on the Burial Register Carl F Theodor Burow, and Dorothy E Burrow[sic]. There are Memorial Inscriptions for CFT Burow who died aged 63y in 1922 and Dorothy Elizabeth Burow who died aged 65y in 1935 (3). And the final word is that Mrs Dorothy Elizabeth Burow died on 8 Jan 1935: “Burow. On the 8th January, at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr SR Barker, Surrey street, Kirkcaldy, Dorothy Elizabeth, widow of CFT Burow, formerly of North Gawler. Aged 64 years. At Rest.” Bunyip, Friday 11 January 1935 p3 (4). The Carl Burow Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows two marriages for Carl Friedrich Theodor Burow, whether the marriages are sequential for one Carl, or coincidentally there are two Carls, it actually doesn’t matter for this exercise. In 1893 Carl Friedrich Theodor Burow was married to Emma Auguste Dommenz in the Kapunda District. In 1903 Carl Friedrich Theodor Burow was married to Dorothea Elisabeth Sachse in the Burra District (5). I cannot find a death notice c1902 for Mrs Emma Burow on Genealogy SA, Trove, LDS etc, so they just maybe separated and she remarried. There were 5 children from this marriage [1] Theodor Carl Burow b1894; [2] Mathilda Emma Burow b1896; [3] Amalie Anna Burow b1897; [4] Martha Agnes Burow b1899; [5] Helene Marie Burow b1901. The three children of Carl Friedrich Theodor Burow’s marriage to Dorothea Elisabeth Sachse were [1] Albert Friedrich Burow b1904; [2] Emma Alwina Burow b1905; [3] Ida Helena Burow b1907 (6). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Carl Friedrich Theodor Burow was born Abt 1861 and died aged 62 yrs on 4 Sep 1922 nr Gawler.

On the LDS website, William Henry Burrows was born in 1844, his father was William Burrows. William Henry Burrows was married 22 Mar 1869 nr Auburn SA to Johanna Caroline Kriebel born 11 Apr 1848 Angas Park SA. Their children [1] Jane Elizabeth Burrows born 2 Jun 1869 Rhynie SA; [2] George Burrows born 28 Feb 1871 Emu Flats SA; [3] Albert Burrows born 3 Jul 1874 Head of Neales SA; [4] Charles Burrows born 20 Jan 1876 SA; [5] Emilie Burrows born 30 Jul 1877 Eudunda; [6] Edward Burrows born 8 Feb 1879 Eudunda; [7] Clara Burrows born 9 Jul 1880 Eudunda; [8] James Burrows born 21 Jan 1882 Eudunda; [9] Arthur Burrows born 23 Sep 1883 nr Eudunda; [10] Ida Wanda Burrows born 4 Jun 1885 nr Eudunda; [11] Heinrich Burrows born 19 Sep 1887 nr Eudunda; [12] Walter Burrows born 3 Jul 1889 Eudunda; [13] Sydney Gordon Burrows born 2 Apr 1892 Eudunda (2). On a separate LDS webpage is the marital history of their family: Johanna Caroline Kriebel was born 11 Apr 1848 Angas Park to parents Carl Johann Kriebel and Anna Dorothea Knispel; [2] George Burrows was married 5 Jun 1901 Rocky Valley SA to Mabel Jane Fowler; [4] Charles Burrows was married 18 Jan 1900 in Kapunda to Emma Louisa Emelie Mattschoss; [5] Emilie Burrows was married 3 Apr 1901 Kapunda to Ernst Mickel; [6] Edward Burrows was married 10 Feb 1915 in Freeling to Emilie Alwine Schulze; [7] Clara Burrows was married 30 Apr 1912 in Balaklava to William Henry Marshall; [11] Heinrich Burrows was married 9 Jul 1914 in Kilkerran SA to Blondine Ottilie Gersch (3). Mrs Caroline dies: “Death: Burrows. On the 29th December, 1932, at the Memorial Hospital, North Adelaide, Caroline Burrows, of 2 Cassie street, Walkerville, widow of William Henry Burrows, formerly of Eudunda and Gavvler; leaving 9 sons, 4 daughters, 36 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Aged 84 years.” Bunyip, Friday 6 January 1933 p3 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burrows_william_henry_&_caroline.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I119422&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F33553&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96646583?searchTerm=Burrows&searchLimits=l-title=371 99 Nellie J Burkett died in her 80th year [ie she was 79 years old] on 17 June 1969, wife of Jack Burkett. There is also a separate headstone for Joseph Lamb, who died aged 59 years on 18 Dec 1924, husband of Eliza Ann Lamb (1). An ‘all Burkett’ search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription confirming that Nellie J Burkett died in her 80thy in 1969 (2). Are Nellie Burkett and Joseph Lamb related? Joseph Lamb would have been born c1865, so could he be Nellie’s father or uncle? According to the LDS website, Joseph Lamb was born 27 Sep 1865 in Gawler. His parents were Thomas Frederick Lamb (b1833, died 13 Oct 1893 in Gawler) and Ellen Martin (b1836, died 25 Jun 1903 Gawler) who were married 12 Mar 1856 in Gawler. Joseph Lamb was married 28 Jul 1888 in Gawler to Eliza Ward b1860. Their children were [1] Ellen Julia Lamb born 26 Apr 1889 Gawler; [2] Lily May Lamb born 3 Jun 1891 Willaston (3). I believe that Nellie J Burkett is Ellen Julia nee Lamb. All the names and dates fit, and the Lamb family is also buried in Willaston Cemetery. The Bunyip, Friday 2 October 1953 p10 reports “Gawlerites Reunion at Botanic Gardens.At the Botanic Gardens, Adelaide, on Wednesday of last week 59 Gawlerltes held a reunion. Oldest to answer the roll was Mrs Power (nee Brumby), aged 79 years. The day passed in most pleasant manner and everyone agreed to hold a similar function next year — on the last Wednesday in September. Those present were— Mrs Fanny Schmidt (nee Hibbard), Mrs Margaret Hilditch (nee Penna), ...... Mrs Nell Burkett (nee Lamb), .... “ (4). This confirms the Lamb - Burkett connection. The ‘all Burkett’ Marriage Index shows that Ellen Julia Lamb was married in 1936 to Reginald Steven Burkett in Adelaide (5), although why he was called ‘Jack’ is not clear. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burkett_nellie_j.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnVya2V0dCA=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I118458&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96900738?searchTerm=Lamb%20Burkett&searchLimits=l-title=371 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVya2V0dA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 100 Robert Ernest Button died on 22 June 1941; his wife Katherine Mabel Button died 29 Sept 1964 (1). The Robert Ernest Button Birth Index at GenealogySA shows his birth in 1882 to parents Jesse Button and Ellen Springbett in the Clare District (2). The Robert Ernest Button Marriage Index shows that he was married in 1908 to Catherine Mabel Mortimer in the Barossa District (3). According to the LDS website, Jesse Button was born in 1841 in Burton, Dorset, England and died on 22 Sep 1912 in Koolunga SA. His parents were John Button (born 15 Feb 1806 Winkton, Dorset, England, died 28 Jul 1884 Koolunga) and Ann White (born 23 Jan 1808 Branston, Isle of Wight, England, died 11 Feb 1866 Lyndoch Valley SA), who had married 11 Oct 1832 Hampshire, England. Jesse Button arrived in SA in 1850 aboard the Hydaspes. He was a farmer who had lived in Lyndoch, and Koolunga. He was married 15 Aug 1878 Lyndoch to Ellen born on 8 Oct 1854 SA (to parents John Lawes Springbett and Eliz Hearsey), and she died 19 Jul 1930 Koolunga. Their children were [1] Louisa Ann Butcher nee Button b1879, d1967; [2] John Howard Button born 3 Sep 1881 Koolunga, d1957; [3] Robert Ernest Button b 2 Oct 1882 Head of Koolunga SA, d1941; [4] Linda Ellen Crawford nee Button born 7 Jun 1884 Head of Koolunga; [5] Egbert Jesse Button born 30 Apr 1887 Head of Koolunga, d1947; [6] Pearl Florence Horns nee Button born 12 Nov 1889 Head of Koolunga, d1972; [7] Allen Asa Button born 14 Sep 1892 Head of Koolunga, d1964 (4). More LDS data on the children of Jesse Button and Ellen Springbett: Louisa Ann Button born 1879 was married 21 Mar 1906 Koolunga SA to Oscar Pascoe Butcher; [2] John Howard Button was married 3 Apr 1912 Aldinga SA to Emma Frances Lucy Boughen; [3] Robert Ernest Button was married 18 Feb 1908 Gawler to Catherine Mabel Mortimer; [4] Linda Ellen Button was married 1 Oct 1908 Koolunga to Alexander Crawford; [5] Egbert Jesse Button was married 6 Jul 1916 Lyndoch to Ellen Mary Buttfield; [6] Pearl Florence Button was married 10 Feb 1914 Koolunga to William Roy Horne (5). Again on the LDS website, Catherine Mabel Mortimer was born 12 Apr 1878 in Gawler to parents Henry William Mortimer (b1844, died 20 Oct 1911 Gawler) and Margaret McFeat (born 29 May 1844 Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland), who had married 21 Jun 1865 Gawler (6). There have been many references calling ‘Katherine’ Mabel Button ‘Catherine’. However the press at the time were using Katherine, and as her familiar name was Kitty, were should accept that spelling, as they have done on the headstone. Here is her wedding notice: “Marriage: Button— Mortimer. On the 18th February, at St Andrew's Church, Gawler, by the Rev EE Baldwin BA, Robert Ernest, second son of Jesse Button,
"View Bank," Koolunga, to KM (Kitty), youngest daughter of HW Mortimer, "Kinross," Gawler.” Bunyip, Friday 6 March 1908 p2 (7). And 33 years later she is still being referred to as Katherine: “Death: Button. On the 22nd June at the Hutchinson Hospital Gawler, Robert Ernest, beloved husband of Katherine Mabel Button, and beloved father of Reg.” Bunyip, Friday 27 June 1941 p3 (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/button_robert_ernest_&_katherine_mabel.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnV0dG9u&g=Um9iZXJ0IEVybmVzdA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnV0dG9u&g=Um9iZXJ0IEVybmVzdA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I68255&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F16655&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I103551&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97726262?searchTerm=Mortimer%20Button&searchLimits= 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96694485?searchTerm=Katherine%20Button&searchLimits= 101 Maureen Frances Byrne died 23 Sept 1998, wife of John Ronald {presumably Byrne} (1). The Maureen F Byrne search on GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices says that there was a 1998 Advertiser Notice Maureen Frances Byrne (2), which is confirmed by the Savill Index for Funeral Notices in the Advertiser, which had one for Maureen Frances Byrne on 1998-09-24 (3). John Ronald Byrne doesn’t register at all on GenealogySA, and Maureen Frances has only the one record - the Advertiser notice of her death. Despite searching on Trove, the LDS site, and even war records, I have not been successful in this search, so at this stage, I have to leave it there – my brains feel byrned out. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/byrne_maureen_frances.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QnlybmU=&g=TWF1cmVlbiBG&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 102 Susannah Elizabeth Gant died at Roseworthy on 11 April 1912, wife of Henry Gant (1). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has incorrectly called her Susannah Elizabeth Cant (2), but it seems to say Gant to me. There are no records of a Susannah Elizabeth Cant nor a Henry Cant found on GenealogySA, Trove nor the Bunyip, but there are for the Gants. The Henry Gant Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1871 in the Kapunda District, Henry Gant was married to Susannah Elizabeth Reynolds (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Susanna Elizabeth Reynolds was born on 10 Aug 1850 in Adelaide to parents Thomas Reynolds and Jane Megaw (4). According to the LDS website, Henry Gant was born 7 Jan 1845 in Adelaide, died 24 Sep 1915 at Peterborough SA and is buried there. Henry Gant was married on 9 March 1871 in Kapunda SA to Susanna Elizabeth Reynolds, born 10 Aug 1850 in Stockport SA, died 11 Apr 1912, Roseworthy SA. Her parents were Thomas Reynolds and Jane Megaw. Henry and Susannah Gant had 8 children: [1] Sarah Dickens Gant born 13 Jan 1872 in Tarlee and died 1953; [2] Thomas William Henry Gant born 5 Nov 1873 Finniss Point SA, d 1921; [3] Henry Claudius Gant born 11 Feb 1877 Finniss Point, d1893; [4] John James Gant born 4 Nov 1880, d1890 Pekina SA; [5] Annie Dewhurst Gant born 1884 SA; [6] Eva Maud Victoria Gant born 11 Apr 1885 Black Rock SA, d1951; [7] Ida Effie Gant born 4 Nov 1888, d1890 Olary; [8] Frederick Ernest Gant born 21 May 1890 Laura SA (5). The main thing to note is that her surname was Gant, not Cant 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cant_susannah_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=R2FudA==&g=SGVucnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I225694 5 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I25897&tree=SouthAustralia 103 James Strathmore Carthew died aged 58 years on 15 Dec 1952; his wife Eva May Carthew died aged 47 years on 4 Dec 1940, and is buried at Laura (1). The ‘all Carthew’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries shows Eva May Carthew aged 47 years on the Laura Cemetery Burial Register with a Memorial Inscription there saying that Eva M Carthew died aged 47 years in 1940. Willaston Cemetery has the same Memorial Inscription for Eva M Carthew who died aged 47 years in 1940. On the Willaston Cemetery Burial Register is James Strathmore Carthew with a Memorial Inscription for James Strathmore Carthew who died aged 58y in 1952 (2). So James is buried at Willaston and Eva at Laura, as the headstone says. The James Carthew Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that James Strathmore Carthew was married in 1921 to Eva May Millington in the Clare District (3), and the Eva Millington Birth Index shows the birth of two Eva May Millingtons [1] Eva May Millington b1898 to parents Richard William Millington and Mary Chellew in the Crawford District; [2] Eva May Millington b1893 to parents Frank Millington and Maria Chandler in the Frome District (4). My calculated age for Eva was 1940 minus 47 = c1893 so the latter Eva May is the more likely one, so her parents were Frank Millington and Maria Chandler. This is confirmed by his obituary: “Mr Frank Millington, of Laura, who died at the Jamestown Hospital following an accident which resulted in a broken thigh, was born at Aldinga on September 1, 1886. He later resided at Lyndoch, Clare, Kadina, and Gladstone, and went to Laura about 53 years ago. He was closely identified with Laura interests and gave excellent service to the town as councillor, and to other public and semi-public organisations. A widow, the daughter of the late Mr Henry Chandler, one of the earliest of Laura's residents, and a family of three sons—Gordon (of Strathalbyn), Lin (Terowie), Norman (Laura), and one daughter, Mrs S (Eva) Carthew (Gladstone) survive.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 8 February 1934 p26 (5). This confirms Frank Millington was the father of Eva who married the Carthew. According to the LDS website, Frank Millington was born 24 Jun 1869 nr Williamstown SA to parents John Francis Millington (b1843) and Rebecca Goodger (b1841 Buckinghamshire, England), who married 15 Sep 1868 Gawler River. Unfortunately for us, their children are not listed (6). Again using the LDS data, James Strathmore Carthew was born 21 Aug 1894 at Bordertown SA to parents James Henry Carthew (born 19 Nov 1870 Bendigo, Victoria, died 1937 SA) and Harriet Annie Smith (born 10 Oct 1870 Port MacDonnell SA, died 5 Jul 1914 Moonta. Again unfortunately for us, they don’t give us his marital history (7). “Stationmaster's Death: Wasleys. December 15. James Strathmore Carthew, 58, who has been stationmaster here for many years, collapsed and died while altering the switches for a train late this afternoon. He joined the Railways Department at the age of 15. He was a trainer for the local football club and played cricket and bowls”, The Advertiser, Tuesday 16 December 1952 p1 (8). “Carthew. On the 4th of December, at a private hospital, Eva May, dearly beloved wife of James Strathmore Carthew, of Wasleys, and loving mother of Constance, Barbara, Norma, and Warren, aged 47 years”, The Advertiser, Friday 6 December 1940 p12 (9). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Eva May Millington was born on 8 Jul 1893 in Wirrabara SA to parents Frank Millington and Maria Chandler (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carthew_james_strathmore_&_eva_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2FydGhldw==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FydGhldw==&g=SmFtZXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TWlsbGluZ3Rvbg==&g=RXZh&c=&y=&r=MA==

A search on GenealogySA only shows Newspaper Birth Notices where there was a notice in the 1981 Advertiser for Joanne Carmichael [other surname Tuppin] was born to Geoff & Faye [presumably Geoff Carmichael and Faye Tuppin, or the opposite] (2). If she died in July 1981, and was born in 1981, then she would have been less than 6 months old when she died. Without more information, that’s as close as I can get it 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carmichael_joanne.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=4&s=Q2FybWljaGFlbA==&g=Sm9hbm5l&c=&y=&r=MA== Maurice ER Carter was born 5 Feb 1913 and died 5 Jan 1999, husband of Gwen, father of Neville, Lynn and Maxine. The headstone is military Australian Army one (1). The WW2 Nominal Roll has the Service Record of Maurice Ernest Rupert Carter, with identical service number as appears on the headstone. He was born in Queenstown SA on 5 Feb 1913 and whilst living at Waterloo Corner SA, he enlisted on 24 Jan 1942 in the Australian Army in Adelaide, his next of kin given as Gweneth Carter. The date of his discharge was 7 Oct 1944 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Maurice Ernest Rupert Carter was born on 5 Feb 1913 in Queenstown, Adelaide to parents George Ernest Carter and Elsie Elizabeth Eley (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carter_maurice_e.r..jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=679917 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I465704 RG Carter died aged 78 on 26 Dec 1999, he was a private in the 2/43 Inf Battalion (1). On the WW2 Nominal Roll, there is the Service Record Raymond George Carter with his same Service Number. He was born in Gawler on 20 May 1921, and was living at Roseworthy when he enlisted in the Australian Army 21 May 1941 at Wayville SA with his next of kin Percival Carter. His date of discharge was 27 Sep 1945 (2). The Raymond Carter Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Raymond George Carter was born in 1921 to parents Percival William Carter and Ada Jane Summerton (3). On a separate headstone, William Percival Carter died aged 69 years on 1 Jan 1953; his wife Ada Jane Carter died aged 56 years on 23 Nov 1951 (4). On the LDS website, William Percival Carter was born 8 Feb 1883 Templers SA to parents Thomas Carter (b1854, died 2 Feb 1923 Woodside SA) and Charlotte Ann Nash (b1853, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England, d1911 SA), who were married 20 Feb 1878 Adelaide. William Percival Carter was married 14 Mar 1910 Gawler to Ida Emma Beadnall born 10 Jun 1877 Gawler (5). So who is Ada Jane? Did he marry twice? There’s not one William Percival Carter on the William Carter Marriage Index at GenealogySA [let alone two] (6). This Percival Carter Marriage Index shows that Percival William Carter married [1] Ida Emma Beadnall in 1910; and [2] Ada Jane Summerton in 1918 (7). The Ida Carter Death Index shows that Ida Emma Carter died in 1917 (8). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ada Jane Summerton was born Ada Jane Ireland Summerton on 17 Apr 1895 in Keilli SA to parents Henry Summerton and Eliza Jane Ireland (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carter_r.g..jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=676289 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FydGVy&g=Ug==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carter_ada_jane_&_william_percival.jpg 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I230621&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FydGVy&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FydGVy&g=UGVyY2l2YWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q2FydGVy&g=SWRh&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I364609 This headstone of Casaretto family members gives dates of death, but no ages nor dates of birth, so some sleuthing must be done for each of them. The headstone says Sarah Casaretto died 1 Nov 1945; John Casaretto died 26 Apr 1949; Mary Kathleen Casaretto died 17 July 1987; Ellen Domenica Casaretto died 12 Aug 1989; Rhoda Patricia Casaretto died 22 June 1991 (1). The Sarah Casaretto Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Sarah Josephine Casaretto died in 1945 in Gawler, her nominated relative was her husband John Alfred Casaretto (2). The ‘all Casaretto’ Birth Index seeking children of John Alfred Casaretto and Sarah Josephine __ reveals Sarah’s maiden name to be Sarah Soraghan and there are 2 children on this birth index [1] Ellen Dominica Casaretto b1903; [2] Rhoda Patricia Casaretto b1913 (3). But Mary Kathleen is also a daughter: “Casaretto. On November 1, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Sarah Josephine, the beloved wife of John Casaretto, of Gawler West, and loved mother of Kathleen, Ellen and Rhoda. Requiescat in pace. Privately interred.” Chronicle, Thursday 8 November 1945 p16 (4). According to the Gawler Council website, Sarah Josephine Casaretto aged 79 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 2/11/1945 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 49 N 3, with Father O’Sullivan officiating (5). The John Casaretto Birth Index shows that John Alfred Casaretto was born in 1870 to parents John Casaretto and Leonlina Schultze in the Gilbert District (6). John Alfred Casaretto aged 78 who last resided in Gawler was buried 27/04/1949 Willaston Cemetery in the reopened Plot/Grave/Niche 49 N 3, with Father Sparkes officiating (7).So that just leaves Mary Kathleen Casaretto where we need to find her year of birth or age at death. The Mary Casaretto search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription saying Mary Kathleen Casaretto died in 1987 (8). As she doesn’t appear on the birth index, maybe she was a daughter in law, but she does not appear on an ‘all Casaretto’ Marriage Index as having married a Casaretto (9). Some general Casaretto in SA history is found here: “Mr John Casaretto, a respected resident of Hamley Bridge for 50 years, died on Saturday. He was born in Italy in 1838. His father, a sailor, was in command of a sailing vessel trading in many parts of the world, but principally to England. The captain lost his wife, and his only son, John Casaretto, nine years of age, he took with him to sea. He sailed with his father until the latter's death, and continued a seafaring life until 1857, when his vessel entered Port Adelaide. Owing to the harsh treatment of his captain, he deserted, and, making his way inland, arrived at Virginia. Here he was arrested by the police and lodged in gaol for one night. In the meantime the vessel had sailed. On his release Mr Casaretto took up land near Hamley Bridge, and had resided there until about a year before his death. When he first came to this district the land was covered with mallee scrub, of which very little remains. His first work was to clear scrub for farming purposes. His end was hastened by the death of his wife, which occurred less than a week before his own. He married Miss Schultze, a daughter of the late Mr Schultze, who was appointed field naturalist to Goyder's Expedition to the Northern Territory. Mrs Casaretto was exceedingly expert in the art of stuffing birds, and had many beautiful and well-preserved specimens. Mr Casaretto leaves one daughter (Mrs Mary Carmody, of Hamley Bridge) and three sons (Charles, of Mount Bryan; John, of Gawler; and Daniel, of
Hamley Bridge).” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 10 April 1915 p35 (10). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that John Alfred Casaretto was born on 2 Jul 1870 near Stockport SA to parents John Casaretto and Leonlina Schultze. He was married {as Frederick John Casaretto} (aged 28 yrs, single) to Sarah Soraghan (aged 28 yrs, single) in St Laurence Church North Adelaide on the 16 April 1898. John Alfred Casaretto died a widower aged 78 yrs in Gawler {he was residing in Gawler West} on 26 Apr 1949, with nominated relative his daughter ED Casaretto (11). Sarah Soraghan was born on 1 Jun 1866 in Navan SA to parents Nicholas Soraghan and Rose Lynch, and she died aged 79 yrs on 1 Nov 1945 in Gawler, her relative listed as her husband John Alfred Casaretto (12). The only references I’ve seen to her having the middle name of Josephine are posthumous. There are three of their daughters, all born in Gawler, sharing the headstone: Mary Kathleen Casaretto who was born on 20 Sep 1899 (13), Ellen Dominica Casaretto born on 11 Apr 1903 (14), and Rhoda Patricia Casaretto born 19 Jan 1913 (15). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/cd/casaretto_sarah,_john,_mary_kathleen,_ellen_domenica_&_rhoda_patricia.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q2FzYXJldHRv&g=U2FyYWg=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FzYXJldHRv&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93336083 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33211 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FzYXJldHRv&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34079 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2FzYXJldHRv&g=TWFyeQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FzYXJldHRv&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/95772358?searchTerm=Casaretto%201899&searchLimits= 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I309424 12 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I419395 13 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I419378 14 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I271800 15 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I466212 108 Any inscription on this grave cannot be read but, from the label of the photo, relates to Lewis John Case and Mary Case (1). Quite reasonably there are no clues on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, where the lines remain blank (2). The ‘all Case’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has on the Burial Register Mary Margaret Case and three relevant Memorial Inscriptions [1] Darryl Kingsley Case who died aged 21y 4m in 1978; [2] Lewis John Case who died aged 74 years in 1970; [3] Mary Margaret (Maida) Case who died aged 74y in 1966 (3). This gives their years of birth c1896 for Lewis and c1892 for Mary. The Lewis Case Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Lewis John Case was married in 1922 in the Clare District to Mary Margaret Martin (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Lewis John Case was born on 22 Jun 1895 in Jamestown SA to parents Isaac Case and Naomi Silverthorne (5), and Mary Margaret Martin was born on 20 Aug 1892 near Clare SA to parents Thomas Patrick Martin and Annie Sarah Quinlan (6). The other Case headstone is very legible and concerns Darryl Kingsley Case who died as a result of accident aged 21 yrs and 4 mths on 24 Feb 1978, son of Thelma and Richard, brother of Neville and Gavin; and Richard Clement Case who was born 17 Nov 1928, died 13 July 2007, husband of Thelma Amy Case (7). On a website called “The Edmonds Family Forest” Darryl Kingsley Case was born circa November 1957 in South Australia, son of Richard Clement Case (born 17 Nov 1928, died 13 Jul 2007). Darryl Kingsley Case died on Friday, 24 February 1978, in South Australia, the result of an accident, and was buried in the Willason Cemetery (8). But that would make him 20 yrs old when he died, so I’ll need confirmation of this before claiming it as correct. My maths makes his birth as about October 1956. At least the website confirms the Richard Clement Case dates as they appear on the headstone; Richard Clement Case was the son, born in Gawler, of Lewis John Case and Mary Margaret Martin, as it tells us in the RootsWeb data (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/case_mary_&_lewis_john.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2FzZQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FzZQ==&g=TGV3aXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I309946 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I148285 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/case_darryl_kingsley_&_richard_clement.jpg 8 http://daryledmonds.com/index.htm?ssmain=g1/p1880.htm; 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I466286 109 James Caskey died aged 47 years on 20 Jan 1910, result of accident, husband of Sarah, headstone erected by employees of May Bros & Co; Private John P Caskey died aged 19 years on 2 Oct 1916, result of wounds in France (1). From LDS data, James Caskey was born in 1863, his father was John Caskey. James was married on 9 Apr 1890 in North Adelaide to Sarah Lamb who was born 1 Dec 1868 Gawler (2). The ‘all Caskey’ Birth Index seeking children of James Caskey and Sarah Lamb [1] Mildred Priscilla Caskey b1892; [2] John Percival Caskey b1896; [3] William Charles Caskey b1903 (3). Summary of James Caskey’s accident: “Fatal Accident. Death of a Gawler Resident. Mr James Caskey, who met with an accident at Messrs May Brothers' establishment, Gawler, on Monday, died on Thursday morning. The deceased, who had been employed by the firm for 16 years, was in the act of putting the belt on a pulley wheel, which was connected directly with the main shafting, when a portion of his shirt was caught between the belt and the pulley, with the result that he was whirled round the shafting at a great speed. .... Mr Caskey was born in Ireland in 1863. He went to Gawler about 25 years ago. .... Nineteen years ago he married Miss Sarah Lamb. He has left a widow and three children. ... The Coroner returned a verdict of accidental death, and that no blame was attachable to any one.” The Register (Adelaide), Friday 21 January 1910 p10 (4). On the Website for the Gawler WWI Honour Roll, Private John Percival Caskey of 10th Battalion was born in Gawler 10 Dec 1896, son of Sarah Bennett formerly Caskey nee Lamb, of Ford St, Gawler South, was prior to enlistment a fitter, embarked 9 March 1916 from Adelaide on the RMS Mongolia. He died from wounds 2 Oct 1916 at the 3rd Canadian Casualty Clearing Station, Belgium and is buried at Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery, Belgium, Plot 10, Row B, Grave 19A; and appears on Panel 58 of the Australian War Memorial Commemorative Area in Canberra (5), as well as this Memorial Inscription on his father’s grave in Willaston Cemetery. It is clear that Mrs Sarah Caskey was remarried in 1913 to John Davey Bennett in the Port Gawler District (6). “Bennett— Caskey. On the 22nd March, at the Church of Transfiguration, Gawler South by the Rev Syd Best, John Davey Bennett, of Port Pirie, to Sarah Caskey, of Gawler South.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 5 April 1913 p34 (7). The John Bennett Death Index shows John Davey Bennett died in 1922 in the Port Gawler

District (8). So Sarah was having more than her share of woes, and still only 54 years of age. But I’m getting diverted from my task. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/caskey_james_&_john_p.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I118484&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2Fza2V5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/60161352?searchTerm=James%20Caskey&searchLimits= 5 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/c.html 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVubmV0dA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88734232?searchTerm=John%20Davey%20Bennett&searchLimits=l-title=291 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QmVubmV0dA==&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== Martin Cass died aged 77 years on 10 Aug 1885; his wife Elizabeth Cass died aged 59 years on 9 July 1877 (1). The ‘all Cass’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Martin Cass on the Burial Register, and Memorial Inscriptions for Martin Cass who died aged 77 years in 1883; and Elizabeth Cass who died aged 59 years in 1877 (2). I must admit on re-examination of this repaired headstone, maybe it is 1883 for the Martin Cass death. The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery agrees with my initial 1885 (3), so we must seek an independent source; ie, not GenealogySA which says 1883. The Town of Gawler’s Burial Register says that Elizabeth Cass aged 57 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 10/7/1877 at Willaston Cemetery in Plot/Grave/Niche 36 B 3, with Father Bourke officiating (4). Martin Cass aged 77 years who last resided in Norwood was buried 12/8/1885 at Willaston Cemetery in the same Plot/Grave/Niche 36 B 3, with Rev TP Kelly officiating (5). Incidentally, the Martin Cass Death Index on GenealogySA says that Martin Cass from Norwood died in 1885 (6), so the weight of evidence says he died in 1885. I can find no Trove newspaper records of either Martin’s, or Elizabeth’s death, and nothing on the LDS website either. We don’t know how or when they came to South Australia 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cass_martin_&_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2Fzcw==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29660 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30296 Robert WJ Cassidy was born on 28 March 1926, and died 22 Feb 1982. Husband of Pauline, father of Helen, and beneath this writing it has “Weaver Family” (1). The Robert Cassidy Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Robert William Joseph Cassidy was born in 1926 to parents Joseph Cassidy and Daisy Grills Weaver in the Norwood District (2). This explains the Weaver connection 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cassidy_robert_w._j..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2Fzc2lkeQ==&g=Um9iZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== William Gatley died aged 66 years on 2 Aug 1902; his wife Elizabeth Gatley died aged 68 years on 26 Oct 1907; their children [1] Elizabeth Barbara Gatley was born 8 June 1866, died on 20 July 1867; [2] Charles James Gatley was born 20 May 1864, died 22 July 1867; [3] Sydney Herbert Gatley was born 6 Mar 1880, died 20 Sept 1880 (1). The headstone is somewhat worn, and I’ve had to rely on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2) for distinguishing Elizabeth Barbara Gatley’s ‘20th’ versus ‘30th’ July for her date of death. Mrs Gatley’s first name is missing from this “C” page also. The main issue however, is the surname, which should be Gatley, not Catley. Those oldfashioned “G’s” have struck again. To prove my point: the ‘all Catley’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries shows no Catley surnames at Willaston Cemetery (3), but the ‘all Gatley’ search at South Australia Cemeteries shows all five of the names on Willaston Memorial Inscriptions: Charles James Gatley died 1867; Elizabeth Gatley aged 68y died in 1907; Elizabeth Barbara Gatley died in 1867; Sydney Herbert Gatley died in 1880 and William Gatley aged 66y died in 1902 (4). According to the LDS website, William Henry Gatley was born 26 Dec 1836, and died 2 Aug 1902 in Gawler. His parents were Joseph Gatley [born c1805, died 4 Mar 1875 Adelaide) and Mary Ann Trevivian (born c1800, died 26 Apr 1895 Prospect SA). William Henry Gatley was married on the 30 Nov 1857 in Gawler to Elizabeth Sidney Haywood Chambers b1837, died 29 Oct 1907 Gawler. Their children were [1] Joseph Edwin Gatley born 19 Oct 1858 Gawler, died 25 Oct 1858 Gawler; [2] William Henry Gatley born 30 Oct 1859 Adelaide; [3] Mary Anne Matilda Gatley born 2 Jan 1862 Adelaide; [4] Charles James Gatley born 20 May 1864 Gawler, died 22 Jul 1867 Gawler; [5] Elizabeth Barbara Gatley born 8 Jun 1866 Gawler, died 20 Jul 1867 Gawler; [6] Frances Ann Elizabeth Gatley born 1 Oct 1868 Gawler; [7] Sophia Constance Jane Gatley born 19 Mar 1871 Gawler River; [8] Edgar Frank Alexander Gatley born 3 Jul 1873 Gawler; [9] Albert Ernest Bruce Gatley born 25 Dec 1875 Gawler; [10] Richard Sydney Herbert Gatley born 6 Mar 1880 Gawler (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/cd/catley_elizabeth_barbara,_charles_james,_sydney_herbert,_william_&_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2F0bGV5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=R2F0bGV5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I261423&tree=SouthAustralia Frank John Causby died aged 42 years on 8 Feb 1927; Charles Warner Causby died ?? years on 27 June 1936, beloved ?sons? of Ethel Olive (1). There is a move-able floral tribute blocking Charles Warner Causby’s age, and their relationship to Ethel, which is frustrating. The Charles Causby Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Charles Warner Causby was born at Port Gawler in 1897 to parents John Henry Causby and Ellen Mary Ward (2). So they were not sons of Ethel. The Charles Causby Marriage Index reveals that Charles Warner Causby was married to Ethel Olive Hobbs in 1928 in the Barossa District (3). So Charles Warner Causby was the beloved husband of Ethel Olive, which we should have been able to read on the headstone had the flowers been moved before the photo was taken. According to the data on the LDS website, Frank John Causby and Charles Warner Causby were brothers, sons of John Henry Causby. John Henry Causby was born on 1 Jun 1858 in Gawler to parents Thomas Causby (born 18 Jun 1826 Nether Winchendon, Buckinghamshire, England, and died 9 Dec 1883 Gawler) and Martha Warner (b1827 England and died 16 Sep 1869 Gawler). John Henry Causby was a miller living in Gawler and died 28 May 1918. He was married 18 Aug 1881 in Gawler to Ellen Mary Ward b1856, died 5 Jul 1904 Gawler. Their children included [1] Olive May Causby born 8 May 1882 Snowtown SA, died 4 Feb 1884 Moonta SA; [2] Frank John Causby born 9 Jan 1885 Moonta; [3] Nellie Norah Causby born 26 Feb 1887 Moonta, died 12 Nov 1888 Gawler; [4] Ethel Monty Causby born 18 Oct 1889 Gawler; [5] Alfred Bruce Causby born 18 Feb 1892 Gawler; [6] Leonard Henry Causby born 7 Aug 1893 Gawler; [7] James Causby born 17 Dec 1895 Gawler, died 21 Dec 1895 Gawler; [8] Charles Warner Causby born 17 Jul 1897 Gawler; [9] George Allen Causby born 8 Aug 1899 Gawler, died 7 May 1905 Gawler; [10-11] At least two more children, one being Elva Louise Causby 1904-04-07 (4). The Elva Causby date of birth comes from an Ancestry.com website, as discussed in Note 114 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/causby_frank_john_&_charles_warner.jpg

Whilst browsing the net for Causby of South Australia connections, I found an Ancestry.com website, which had some useful facts. Thomas George Causby born 26th August 1860 in Gawler District and died 27th March 1912 at Gawler South. His wife Bessie Gane Causby aged 69 years, widow of Thomas George Causby, died 9th May 1934 at Willaston. Thomas George Causby aged 24 years, son of Thomas Causby, was married on 22nd October 1885 to Bessie Gane Selway, aged 20 years, single, daughter of John Selway, at St George’s Church, Gawler. Their children included [1] George Thomas Causby born 8th August 1886; [2] Harold Selway Causby born 24th May 1895; [3] John Joseph Causby born 27th June 1889; [4] Violet May Causby born 24th May 1895 (5). The John Causby Marriage Index shows that in 1913 John Joseph Causby married Loveday Williams in the Barossa District (6). The Loveday Causby Death Index shows she died in 1972 [confirming date on headstone which is not clear], with nominated relative her deceased husband John Joseph Causby (7). The Loveday Causby search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows her Memorial Inscription claiming that Loveday Causby was 83 years old when she died in 1972 (8). Although the numbers are indistinct, it still looks like it says she was 80 years old (4), but without some birth data, we cannot be sure. At RootsWeb for South Australian people, Lovedy[sic] Williams was born 23 Aug 1889 in Farrells Flat SA to parents Alexander Williams and Elizabeth Ann Dixon. Loveday Williams aged 24 years was married to John Joseph Causby (aged 24, son of Thomas George Causby) at the St George Church Gawler on 22/10/1913 (9). This data indicates that she was indeed 83 years old when she died, and her date of birth was in 1889, and not 1892 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/causby_thomas_george.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/causby_bessie_gane.jpg 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/causby_harold_s.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/causby_john_joseph_&_loveday.jpg 5 http://boards.ancestrylibrary.com/surnames.causby/211/mb.ashx 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2F1c2J5&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q2F1c2J5&g=TG92ZWRheQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2F1c2J5&g=TG92ZWRheQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I452912 115 William Cawrse died aged 83 years on 11 June 1940; his wife Ann Cawrse died aged 77 years on 29 June 1933, their children William Cawrse died aged 36 years on 25 Aug 1915; and daughters Elizabeth Jane ?Cawrse died aged 72 years on 27 July 1954; and Ann ?Cawrse died on 19 May 1978 (1). The William Cawrse Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows he was married in 1878 in the Port Gawler District to Ann Worden (2). According to LDS data, William Cawrse was born 19 Sep 1856 at Kooringa SA to parents James Hanne Cawrse (born 11 Feb 1822 St Neot, Cornwall, England, died 20 Mar 1887 Gawler Plains) and Elizabeth Jane Arundell Hanne (b1835 St Neot, Cornwall and died 22 Feb 1928 Gawler), who had married 11 May 1853 at Sturt SA. William Cawrse was a farmer who had lived at Penfield, Wasleys and Gawler Plains, and he died on 11 June 1940 at Wasleys SA. He was married 11 Apr 1878 at Penfield to Ann Worden b1855, her parents being William Bath Worden and Elizabeth Treloar. Ann died 29 June 1933. The children of William Cawrse and Ann Worden included [1] William Cawrse born 9 Apr 1879 nr Wasleys, died 25 Aug 1915 Wasleys; [2] Elizabeth Jane (Bessie) Cawrse born 28 Sept 1881, remained single, and died 27 July 1954; [3] Mary Ann Cawrse born 15 May 1884 Wasleys; [4] John Hanne Cawrse born 10 Sep 1887 Wasleys; [5] James Cawrse born 19 Jun 1890 Wasleys; [6] Ann Cawrse born 26 Nov 1898 Wasleys, who remained single (3). Further LDS information about [3] Mary Ann Cawrse is that she was married 3 Sep 1906 in Hindmarsh to William George Holland Bailey; [5] James Cawrse was married 15 Oct 1914 at Templers to Stella Maude Everett (4). Still using LDS data, Stella Maude Everett was born 12 Apr 1894 in Wasleys to parents James Everett (born 12 Apr 1857 Five Mile Plain SA, died 13 Feb 1909 Gawler) and Mary Jane Congdon (born 22 Feb 1861 nr Templers), who had married 2 Mar 1887 in Templers (5). Back to Willaston headstones, John Hanne Cawrse died aged 84 years on 18 June 1973; his wife Hilda Cawrse died aged 79 years on 15 Nov 1974 (6). The John Cawrse Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows John Hanne Cawrse was married in 1934 to Hilda Thomas in the Barossa District (7). There are many Hilda Thomas births, so we have to somehow distinguish this Hilda. A Trove search for Cawrse – Thomas marriages might give us her parent’s details, which they do: “Thomas— Cawrse. The marriage of Hilda, elder daughter of the late Mr and Mrs G Thomas, of Gulf View, Gawler, to John H, second son of Mr and the late Mrs W Cawrse, Wasleys, will be solemnised at Tod Street Methodist Church, Gawler, on August 4th, at 3 pm.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 2 August 1934 p45 (8). The Hilda Thomas Birth Index at GenealogySA shows the only father with initial “G” is for the 1903 birth of Hilda May Thomas to parents George William Thomas and Emily Kelly in the Kapunda District (9), but I’m not happy with that as her calculated dob was c1895 and not 8 years later, and it is the only mention of her having a middle name, so I’d need other evidence. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cawrse_william,_ann,_william,_elizabeth_jane_&_ann.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2F3cnNl&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I188753&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F57630&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I156338&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cawrse_john_hanne_&_hilda.jpg 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2F3cnNl&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/91067522?searchTerm=Hilda%20Thomas%20Cawrse&searchLimits= 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=VGhvbWFz&g=SGlsZGE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 116 WA Chalmers died aged 79 years on 7 July 1978 (1). A ‘W Chalmers’ search at GenealogySA shows in the GenelogySA’s Section about Newspaper Death Notices has several notices for William Albert Chalmers in 1978 (2), but nothing else can be gleaned about this name from the GenealogySA website. RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows nothing for a Wliiam Albert but found Mervyn Livingston Chalmers who was born on 17 Dec 1927 in East Adelaide to parents Livingstone William Chalmers and Isobel Doris Ames (3). This is the same birthday but a year earlier than the headstone’s 1928, which says that Mervyn Livingstone Chalmers was born 17 Dec 1928, and died aged 32 years on 15 Sept 1960 (4), but of course, those dates mean he was only 31 years when he died, or at least in his 32nd year. But then, if he had actually been born in 1927 as stated at RootsWeb (3), he definitely have been 32 years when he
died. On GenealogySA, the Mervyn Chalmers Birth Index shows that Mervyn Livingstone Chalmers was born in 1927 to parents Livingstone William Chalmers and Isobel Doris Ames in the Norwood District (5). So maybe the headstone is wrong and he was indeed born in 1927. Deaths: “Chalmers (nee Ames). On the 25th September, at a private hospital, Isobel Doris, the dearly beloved wife of Livingstone William Chalmers, of № 5 Tenth avenue, St Peters, and loving mother of Dene and Mervyn, aged 36 years.” Also “Chalmers (nee Ames). On the 25th September, at a private hospital, Isobel Doris, the dearly loved daughter of Walter and Elizabeth Ames, of Leicester street, Parkside, loving sister of Milton and Fred, aged 36 years.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 4 October 1934 p45 (6). We still haven’t established the connection between Mervyn Livingstone Chalmers, William Albert Chalmers and Livingstone William Chalmers, maybe WA and LS were brothers? I cannot find birth details of a William Albert Chalmers, certainly not a brother of Livingstone William Chalmers, under this name. The ‘all Chalmers’ Birth Index shows the parents of Livingstone William Chalmers to be Livingstone/ Livingston William Chalmers and Edith Ann Buscumb/ Buscumbe, and their children to be [1] George Livingstone Chalmers b1891; [2] Harold Lisle Chalmers b1893; [3] Doris Louisa Ellen Chalmers b1894; [4] Edith Maud Chalmers b1895; [5] Livingstone William Chalmers b1897; [6] Edith Day Chalmers b1899; [7] William Sydney Chalmers b1902 (7). There’s no sibling William Albert, and unless he was a twin with Edith Day, there’s no room for him anyway. At an Ancestry.com website, William Albert Chalmers was born in Footscray Vic in 1899 to Robert James Chalmers and Annie Lee Kermode (8), and this may explain why he’s not showing up on the SA births data. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chalmers_w.a..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Q2hhbG1lcnM=&g=Vw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I521222 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chalmers_mervyn_livingstone.jpg 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hhbG1lcnM=&g=TWVydnlu&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/91071970?searchTerm=Chalmers%20Doris%20Livingstone&searchLimits=l-title=291 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hhbG1lcnM=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://records.ancestry.com.au/william_albert_chalmers_records.ashx?pid=7040435 117 Kathleen Mary Chapman died aged 63 years on 29 Aug 1956; her husband Thomas William Chapman has very hard to read the information on their joint headstone. On the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, Kathleen Mary Chapman’s details appear on the entry of Thomas William Chapman, and her line is blank (2). I have moved her age and date of death from its incorrect place on his line and moved it to her line. We must now then find his dates, as the headstone entry is so hard to read. The Thomas Chapman Birth Index at GenealogySA shows only one Thomas William Chapman, and he was born in 1888 to parents Thomas Chapman and Johanna Schwerdt in the Gilbert District (3), and the Thomas Chapman Marriage Index shows that Thomas William Chapman was married in 1913 to Kathleen Mary Shannon in the Barossa District (4). The Thomas Chapman search on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription saying that Thomas William Chapman died aged 83y in 1971 (5). On the LDS website, Thomas William Chapman was born 4 Jul 1888 Pinkerton Plains SA to parents Thomas Chapman (born 7 Apr 1857 Morphett Vale SA, died 18 Jun 1920 SA) and Cornelia Johanne Schwerdt (born 26 May 1865 nr Kapunda SA, died 25 Sep 1945 Gawler), who had married on 31 Jan 1883 Pinkerton Plains (6). So clearly Thomas William Chapman’s mother was Semirames Cornelia Joahnna Chapman nee Schwerdt. The ‘all Schwerdt’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows a Cornelia Schwerdt born in 1865 to parents Robert Schwerdt and Louisa Scholtz in the Kapunda District (7). I’m not sure where the extra name Semirames came from, {Semirames was a legendary queen of Assyria}. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser had one for Thomas William Chapman on 1971-08-09, meaning he died in early August 1971 (8). Kathleen Mary Shannon does not appear on the SA births data posted at RootsWeb, leaving us jut with an estimate of her year of birth as c1893 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chapman_kathleen_mary_&_thomas_william.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hhcG1hbg==&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2hhcG1hbg==&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2hhcG1hbg==&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I284562&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=U2Nod2VyZHQ=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 118 Ethel May Chegwidden’s inscription is very hard to read but it seems to say that she died aged 70 years on 17 June 1957; Charles James Chegwidden died aged 86 years on 24 Oct 1961 (1). Joseph Wicks Chegwidden died aged 46 years on 10 May 1882 (2), the result of a Gawler Coroporation work accident. Joseph Wicks Chegwidden’s funeral: “Mr Chigwidden[sic]. After nearly three weeks of hard pain Mr Chigwidden succumbed to the effects of his accident on Wednesday morning last at 8 o'clock. Very great sympathy is expressed for the widow and children. Mr Chigwidden was buried on Thursday afternoon in the Willaston Cemetery. A procession consisting of the Rev J Nicholson, Drs Addison and Nickell, a contingent of the Oddfellows, and the Fire Brigade, of which Mr Chigwidden was foreman, in the order named preceded the hearse; about twenty carriages followed.” Bunyip, Friday 12 May 1882 p2 (3). The LDS website has data although the surname here is Chigwidden rather than Chegwidden. Joseph Wickes Chigwidden was born 28 Jun 1837 Stithians, Cornwall, England and died 10 May 1882 Gawler. There are two sets of parents given {1} Peter Chegwidden and Mary Wicks or Weeks; {2} Alexander Chigwidden b1787, died 23 Apr 1840 Adelaide, and Elizabeth Hughes b1799, died 23 Apr 1840 SA. Joseph Wickes Chigwidden, a council foreman living in Gawler, was married 10 July 1865 in St Gluvias Cornwall England to Martha Spershott born c1846 to parents Harmon Jago Spershott and Martha Spershott [Snr]. Martha Chigwidden died 11 Sep 1937 Robertstown SA as Mrs Martha Heinrich [she was married again after Joseph died to Theodore Heinrich]. Joseph Wickes Chigwidden and Martha nee Spershott had the following children [1] Harman Jago Spershott Chigwidden born 12 Jul 1866 SA; [2] Ellen Josephine Chigwidden born 28 June 1868, died 3 May 1871; [3] Ellen Josephine Nagel nee Chigwidden born 23 Sept 1872, died 22 Nov 1958 SA; [4] Charles James Chigwidden born 27 Mar 1875 Barossa Diggings SA, died 24 Oct 1961; [5] Henry Peter Chigwidden born 23 Feb 1877 SA; [6] Iney Farley nee Chigwidden born 18 Nov 1879 Gawler; [7] Mabel Carrie Greenslade nee Chigwidden born 27 Jun 1882 Gawler, died 19 Nov 1913 Gawler (4). There is a note on the Alexander Chigwidden LDS page that the Surname originally Chegwidden changed to Chigwidden after Alexander's death in 1840 (5), although the South Australian branch of the family seems to have mainly retained the original spelling. Still using the LDS data, Charles James Chigwidden was married on 30 Dec 1908 at Mallala to Ethel May Alfred born 9 May 1887 Mallala (6). The Ethel Alfred Birth Index shows that Ethel May Alfred was born in 1887 to parents Richard Alfred and Elizabeth Huxtable (7). Alfred Charles Chegwidden, son of Charles and Ethel, died aged 45 years on 14 March 1959 (8), although the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has his death in 1990 (9), clearly unlikely with the ages of his parents if he was born c1941. The Alfred Chegwidden search at South Australia Cemeteriesfor Willaston Cemetery shows that Alfred Charles Chegwidden was aged 45y when he died in 1959 (10). His
calculated year of birth c1914 means he may have been involved in WW2. On the WW2 Nominal Roll, the Alfred Charles Chegwidden Service Record has his Date of Birth 24 Jun 1913 Kalgoolie WA. He enlisted in the Australian Army on 15 Mar 1941 Gawler whilst living in Willaston SA, with his next of kin (mother) Ethel Chegwidden. He was discharged from the Army with the rank Private on 3 Apr 1942 (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chegwidden_ethel_may_&_charles_james.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chegwidden_joseph_wicks.jpg 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97291806?searchTerm=Chigwidden&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I218031&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I185196&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I109682&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QWxmcmVk&g=RXRoZWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chegwidden_alfred_charles.jpg 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2hlZ3dpZGRlbg==&g=QWxmcmVk&c=&y=&r=MA== 11 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=709976 119 Allan Ross Childs, husband of Coral, father of Ross and Margaret (1). Ross Childs, son of Coral and Allan (Dec’d) and brother of Margaret was born 12 Aug 1940 and died 28 Oct 2001 (2). The Allan Childs Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Allan Ross Childs was born in 1910 to parents Solomon Childs and Jane Berrett in the Barossa District (3), and the Allan Childs Death Index tells us that when Allan Ross Childs died in 1972 in the Talunga District, the nominated relative was his [still living] wife Coral May Childs (4). The RootsWeb WorldConnect website of SA births shows that Allan Ross Childs was born on 18 Aug 1910 in Gawler to parents Solomon Childs and Jane Berrett (5). The Savill Index of Funeral Notices in the Advertiser shows one for Allan Ross Childs on 3 Feb 1972, so he probably died 1st or 2nd February 1972 (6).This would mean that he was aged 61 years when he died. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/childs_allan_ross.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/childs_ross.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hpbGRz&g=QWxsYW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q2hpbGRz&g=QWxsYW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I523019 6 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 120 Arthur Henry Christensen died in April 1970 I think, it is very hard to read; Gladus Olive Christensen died aged 86 years on 3 Aug 1983, parents of Pat (1). I note that ‘Gladys’ is spelt ‘Gladus’ on the headstone, although this is likely to be a stonemason ‘typo’. The Arthur Christensen Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Arthur Henry Ernest Christensen married Gladys Olive Thomas in 1918 in the Burra District (2). The Arthur Christensen Death Index shows that Arthur Henry Ernest Christensen died in 1970 in Gawler, with nominated relative his [still living] wife Gladys Olive Christensen (3). The Arthur Christensen search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription saying that Arthur Henry Christensen was 75 years old when he died in 1970 (4). Neither Arthur Henry Christensen nor Gladys Olive Thomas appear on GenealogySA’s Birth Index, nor on RootsWeb, so they may not have been formally announced, or they may have come from elsewhere, or been the victims of misspellings, at least in Arthur’s case. On the WW2 Nominal Roll, Arthur Henry Ernest Christensen has a Service Record with the Australian Army. He was born 9 Aug 1895 in Broken Hill, NSW and was living in Renmark, SA when he enlisted on 17 Apr 1942, with cited next of kin as Gladys Christensen. He served until 17 Oct 1945 when he was discharged as a private from 8 Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps (5).Maybe Gladys also was from NSW, explaining the lack of SA stats. Excerpt: “Commonwealth Roll Names Objected To: Mr WH Miller, divisional returning officer for the Barrier electorate, notifies that in pursuance of the requirements of the Commonwealth Electoral Act and Regulations a notification of objection was issued and posted to him on February 13 to each person undermentioned. Mr Miller proposes to determine each of the objections at the expiration of 20 days, and to direct the removal from the roll of the Barrier Division of the name of each person thus notified, unless in the meantime he is satisfied that the objection is not good. North Broken Hill: ...... Chrestensen, Arthur HE, 118 Brazil street; Christensen, Edward, 586 Blende-st; Christensen, Gladys Olive, 119 Brasil street .... .” Barrier Miner (Broken Hill), Tuesday 17 February 1920 p3 (6). They were still in Broken Hill c1920, but maybe not for long 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/christensen_arthur_henry_&_gladus_olive.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2hyaXN0ZW5zZW4=&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q2hyaXN0ZW5zZW4=&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2hyaXN0ZW5zZW4=&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=725919 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45516151?searchTerm=Christensen%20Arthur%20Gladys%20Thomas&searchLimits= 121 John Stephen Clark died aged 77 years (1), which is all this memorial says. On the RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people website, the only John Stephen Clark mentioned was born 25 Nov 1869 in Williamstown SA to parents David Clark and Sarah Ann Gower (2). The John Clark Marriage Index at GenealogySA reveals two John Stephen Clark marriages [1] John Stephen Clark was married in 1901 to Elizabeth Ann Everett in the Port Gawler District; [2] John Stephen Clark was married in 1933 to Sarah Emma Standish in the Angaston District (3). On the LDS website, John Stephen Clark was born on 25 Nov 1869 at Williamstown SA, and died on 16 Feb 1915 Pinkerton Plains SA [making his age at death 45 years, so he is not the John Stephen Clark on this headstone]. John Stephen Clark’s parents were David Clark (b1833) and Sarah Ann Gower (b1839 SA, d1935), who had married on 17 Feb 1857 Lyndoch Valley. John Stephen Clark was married on 25 Sep 1901 Pinkerton Plains to Elizabeth Ann Everett, born 27 Sep 1872 Pinkerton Plains (4). This corresponds to the Elizabeth Ann Clark buried in Willaston, was born 23 Sept 1872 and died 22 Aug 1944 (5). The ‘all Clark’ Birth Index seeking offspring of John Stephen Clark and Elizabeth Ann Everett shows no children at GenealogySA (6). The other John Stephen Clark married Sarah Emma Standish in 1933, shows that Sarah Emma (Sadie) Clark was born 24 Nov 1911, died 17 July 1995, wife of John Stephen Clark, mother of Faith, Bernard, Ann and Michael (7). “Standish—Clark. The marriage of Sadie, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs BW Standish, Tanunda, to John Stephen, second son of Mrs and the late JS Clark, of Gawler, will be solemnised at the Tabor Church, Tanunda, on Saturday, January 28th at 3pm. Relatives and friends cordially invited to the ceremony. No reception.” The Advertiser, Monday 23 January 1933 p8 (8). On the WW2 Nominal Roll, John Stephen Clark’s Service Record shows he was born 14 May 1907 in Kanowna, WA [hence the reason we cannot find his SA birth details] and was living in Gawler SA when he enlisted in the Australian Army on 10 Jan 1942, with next of kin Sarah Clark. He was discharged as a Private on 17 Jul 1943 from 10 Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps (9). The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices shows that John Stephen Clark’s appeared on 1984-11-21, so he would likely have died shortly before this date (10). Obituary: “Mrs Elizabeth Ann Clark died at the Murray Bridge Hospital on Tuesday, August 22nd, after a short illness, had spent many
years of her life in the Gawler district. She was born at Pinkerton Plains, near Wasleys, and spent her youth there on her parent's farm, which is at present occupied by her sisters (Misses Maggie and Mary Everett and her brother (Mr John Everett). In 1901 she married the late John Stephen Clark with whom she lived for some thirteen years at Kanowna on the West Australian goldfields. On the death of her husband in 1915 she settled at Gawler Blocks and devoted her life to the rearing of her five children, all of whom bear witness to the loving care which they received at her hands. In 1929 she removed to Gawler South where she lived until 1937 when she gave up her own home to keep house for her eldest son, with whom she lived at Cleve, Cowell and Karoonda. Mrs Clark had a quiet but cheerful disposition, which endeared her to all she met. Deeply religious by nature, she was associated with the Methodist Church wherever she resided, and her many deeds of unostentatious kindness will be remem bered by all whom she knew. At the time of her death she was in her seventy-second year. She is mourned by two daughters (Mesdames ME Towill of Claypans, and HE Matschoss of Morphett Vale), and three sons (Messrs ADE Clark, Karoonda; JS Clark, Gawler South; and MG Clark, now a prisoner of war in Java.) Of these sons, Allan and Stephen have taught in the Gawler Public School over a period of 17 years.” Bunyip, Friday 6 October 1944 p2 (11). The Sarah Clark search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery show Sarah Emma Clark died aged 83 in 1995 (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clark_john_stephen.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=115942 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2xhcms=&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I156367&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clark_elizabeth_ann.jpg 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2xhcms=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clark_sarah_emma.jpg 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35193462?searchTerm=Clark%20Standish%20Sadie&searchLimits= 9 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=728504 10 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96862608?searchTerm=Elizabeth%20Ann%20Clark&searchLimits=l-title=371 12 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2xhcms=&g=U2FyYWg=&c=&y=&r=MA== 122 James H Clarke died 27 Nov 1942; James Clarke died 11 Nov 1947; Florence FE Clarke 13 June 19__ (1), but I have had to rely on what’s written on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), as the headstone has not photographed very well. The James Clarke Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in Adelaide in 1900 to Florence Gamlin (3). A search of ‘all Clarke’ at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows that Florence Fanny Emily Clark, James Clark and James Herbert Clark (none have the final ‘e’) are all on the Burial Register, but the Memorial Inscriptions say that Florence F E Clarke died aged 79y in 1958; James Clarke died in 1947 and James H Clarke died in 1942 (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that James Clark[sic] was born c1877 to father George Clarke. He was married aged 23 yrs to Florence Gamlin (aged 22yrs, born c1878, also single, father Thomas Gamlin), in St Mary North Adelaide on the 18 Aug 1900. Florence Fanny Emily Gamlin was born on 7 Aug 1878 in Littlehampton SA. The children of James Clarke and Florence Fanny Emily Gamlin, all born in Gawler, include [1] Isoble Elizabeth Clark born 16 Oct 1900; [2] James Herbert Henry Clark born 25 May 1902; [3] Catherine Florence Clark born 5 Apr 1904; [4] Irene Clark born 30 Apr 1905 (5). James Clarke dies: “Clarke. On November 11, at his residence, 38 High street, Gawler, James, beloved husband of Florence Clarke, leaving 4 sons and 7 daughters, aged 73 years. RIP” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 13 November 1947 p35 (6). It is puzzling that if James Clarke died aged 73 yrs in 1947, how could he’ve been born c1877 as it states on RootsWeb. This raises the possibility that they have incorrectly linked data. We know that he married Florence and had a family, but I cannot find corroboration that he was born c1877 to father George Clarke, even when on the LDS website, they don’t mention any parents for him. He seems more likely to have been born c1874 or 1875, but without other evidence or a middle name, I cannot pinpoint the actual date. The ‘all Clarke’ Birth Index, seeking offspring of James Clarke and Florence Fanny Emily Gamlin shows 12 children, but in no case do they cite a second name for James Clarke.

The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery names him just Arthur John Clarke (2), but the headstone says he was Arthur John Bertram Clarke. The Arthur Clarke Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Arthur John Bertram Clarke was born in 1896 to parents John William Clarke and Hedwig Caroline Louisa Bertram in the Norwood District (3), and the Arthur Clarke Marriage Index shows that Arthur John Bertram Clarke was married in 1923 in Adelaide to Bertha Charlotte Modra (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Arthur John Bertram Clarke was born on 22 Nov 1896 in Norwood, Adelaide to parents John William Clarke and Hedwig Caroline Louisa Bertram (5). “Clarke. On the 21st June, at his residence, Kangaroo Flat, Arthur John Bertram, beloved husband of Bertha C Clarke, and beloved second son of Mrs H and the late Mr JW Clarke, of South Payneham, aged 39 years. At rest”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 25 June 1936 p25 (6), thus matching the date of death on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clarke_arthur_john.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2xhcmtl&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2xhcmtl&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I40281 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92344310?searchTerm=clarke%20arthur&searchLimits=
124 George Clarke died aged 41 yrs on 3 Sept 1861; his wife Jane Clarke died aged 65 yrs on 28 July 1885 (1), making their years of birth both c1820. The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Jane Clarke died on the 29th July (2), but it looks more like 28th to me. George Clarke dies: “Clarke. On the night of the 3rd August, by accidental drowning in the Gawler River, Mr George Clarke, late picture-dealer, Warden-street, Soho, London, and also of Hammersmith, England, aged 41 years”, South Australian Register, Thursday 26 September 1861 p7 (3), although this report says he died 3 Aug 1861, not 3 Sept. Jane Clarke dies: “Deaths. Clark. On the 28th July, at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr TJ Benson, Murray-street, Gawler, Mrs Jane Clark, relict of the late Mr George Clark, of heart disease”. South Australian Register, Thursday 30 July 1885 p4 (4), incidentally confirming her date of death as the 28th July 1885. Unfortunately I have been unable to establish George and Jane’s actual birth dates, nor Jane’s maiden name. Having a son-in-law TJ Benson means she had a daughter surnamed Clarke who married him. The ‘T Benson’ Marriage Index shows that Thomas John Benson was married in Adelaide in 1865 to Georgina Lucy Clarke (5). We have found a daughter’s name but unfortunately Georgina Lucy Clarke doeas not appear on the SA birth data on GenealogySA or RootsWeb, so it doesn’t help us find Jane’s maiden name. Maybe Jane and the children were all born in the UK before their arrival in SA 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clarke_george_&_jane.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/50085043?searchTerm=clarke%20george%20Jane%20Gawler&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44944608?searchTerm=clarke%20george%20jane%20gawler&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVuc29u&g=VA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 125 LAC DC Clayson (RAAF) died aged 69 years on 28 Dec 1982, husband of Fanny, father of Ronald, Barry and Heather (1). The WW2 Nominal Roll has the Service Record of Douglas Clifford Clayson who was born in Norwood SA on the 5 Oct 1913, and was living in Gawler when he enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force on 16 Dec 1942 in Adelaide, SA. His next of kin was Fanny Clayson. He was discharged as a Leading Aircraftman on 17 Sep 1946 from the № 6 Service Flying Training School (2). The Douglas Clayson Birth Index shows that Douglas Clifford Clayson was born in 1913 to parents Clifford Clayson and Alice Ellen Gallacher in the Norwood District (3) 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clayson_d.c..jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=R&VeteranId=961540 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2xheXNvbg==&g=RG91Z2xhcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 126 William Cleary died aged 76 years on 16 Nov 1916 [ie born c1840]; his wife Margaret Cleary had died aged 50 years on 23 Nov 1890 [born c1840]; their infant sons William Cleary and David Cleary are also buried here (1). The William Cleary Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows he was married in 1870 to Margaret Treacy in the Barossa District (2). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows David Cleary was born 3 Jan 1875 in Gawler to parents William Cleary and Margaret Tracey [3], but there’s no record for a William Cleary infant at RootsWeb. The ‘all Cleary’ Birth Index seeking offspring of William Cleary and Margaret Tracey shows just three, not mentioning their son William [1] Ellen Mary Cleary b1872; [2] David Cleary b1875; [3] John Cleary b1876 (4). The ‘all Cleary’ Death Index shows William Cleary d1872; David Cleary d1875; Margaret Cleary d1890; William Cleary d1916 (5). On the Gawler Council website, Margaret Cleary who last resided in Willaston was buried 25/11/1890 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 24 B 3, with Rev TP Kelly officiating (6), they tactfully did not give her age. William Cleary aged 76 years who last resided in Willaston was buried 17/11/1916 in Willaston Cemetery in the same Plot/Grave/Niche 24 B 3, with Father McEvoy officiating (7). William Cleary aged 17 months who last resided in Willaston was buried 2/4/1872 in Willaston Cemetery in the same Plot/Grave/Niche 24 B 3 as his parents (8). David Cleary aged 7 days who last resided in Willaston was buried 8/1/1875 in Willaston Cemetery in the same Plot/Grave/Niche 24 B 3 as his brother, with Rev T Bonjarets officiating (9). The Ellen Cleary Marriage Index shows she was married in 1898 to Albert Edmund Gartrell in the Barossa District (10). John Clearly also survived childhood: “Cleary-Morony (nee Fahey). On the 3rd December 1918, at St Peter and Paul's Church, Gawler, by the Rev Father McEvoy, John, only son of the late William and Margaret Cleary, to Norah, second daughter of Annie and the late Thomas Fahey. Present address-Willaston.” The Advertiser, Friday 3 January 1919 p6 (11). William Cleary was living in Bright Street Willaston. He became a well known local personality, working for the Council and on the Willaston RatePayers Association. “Editor’s Note. Bung Eyes. As usual, when the weather is close and muggy, the little flies are very annoying and several cases of 'bung eyes' have been reported. One case, however, has turned out to be very serious. Mr William Cleary, an old identity of Willaston, was bitten in the eye by a fly in Christmas week and his eye swelled up to a great size very quickly, rendering him totally blind, as he lost the sight of his other eye years ago. The result was that he bumped up against trees and posts in his endeavor to reach his house and bruised the eye and his head. Dr Fooks was summoned, but recommended Cleary to go to the Adelaide Hospital. Inflammation set in, and it is said that there is some danger of it spreading to the brain, which would, of course, prove fatal”. Bunyip, Friday 21 January 1910 p2 (12). The final report was very sad and is from The Register, Friday 4 June 1915 p5 “A Nuisance. Gawler, June 3.— At the Magistrates' Court today (before Messrs WH Cox and F Moran), William Cleary, 75 years of age (who is blind and nearly deaf), was charged by Charles Ayling, sanitary inspector for the Mudla Wirra South Local Board of Health, with having unlawfully inhabited a building in Willaston after he had been notified that it was unsuitable for habitation. Defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr RJ Rudall appeared for informant. It was adduced in the evidence that Cleary lived by himself, was in a filthy condition, and that the house was dilapidated. Defendant usually slept during the day, and roamed about at night, yelling and banging tins. He was a menace to the public safety, and was an object of terror to the women and children. The property was his own. Several attempts had been made to induce him to place himself in a home or institution, but he had refused to go. Mr Rudall suggested that the only means of getting him away was to inflict a heavy fine, and he perhaps would not pay, so that he would come under the power of the police, who would see that he was properly cared for. If he would consent to go to a home the Local Board did not want a heavy penalty. Fined £10 and costs— £13 2/ in all— or two months' imprisonment” (13) He was fined because he wouldn’t leave his house. He died the following year. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cleary_william,_margaret,_william_&_david.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2xlYXJ5&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I14706 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2xlYXJ5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q2xlYXJ5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30602 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32208 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29300 9 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29464 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2xlYXJ5&g=RWxsZW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5618893?searchTerm=William%20Cleary%20Willaston&searchLimits=

Or is it Sarah Woodward, wife of Edward Clement Woodward? The ‘all Clement’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery’s Burial Register has a Sarah Madona Clement but no Sarah Woodward Clement (2). The ‘all Woodward’ search at South Australia Cemeteries Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription for Sarah Woodward who died aged 35y in 1866 (3). So it is confusing, and not helped by her death notice: “Died: Clement. On the 16th November, at Gawler, South Australia, after a severe affliction, borne with Christian resignation, Sarah Woodward, the beloved wife of Edward Clement, late of Boston, in the County of Lincoln, England, aged 35 years. ' Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord,' Lincolnshire papers please copy.” South Australian Weekly Chronicle, Saturday 17 November 1866 Page 1S (4). However corroboration of the surname comes from Gawler History Society’s webpage “Gawler Now and Then” where Edward Clement Mayor 1869-70 is discussed. “Arriving in South Australia in 1854, and in Gawler two years later, Edward Clement was born in Boston, Lincolnshire, England on July 19, 1823 to Edward Gottlieb and Hannah Clement. Initially an auctioneer in the town, he subsequently became a chaff produce merchant. Edward's first wife, Sarah Woodward, died in 1866 and was the first interments at the Willaston Cemetery. Three years later he married Julia Weaver at St Marys, and they had eight children. A resident of Jacob street in Gawler, Mr Clement owned one of the two omnibuses that commenced running between Gawler and the railway station in 1864, the old Celerity. Also in 1864, with Mr James Martin, Edward was appointed trustee for “the purpose of conveying certain lands donated by the proprietors of the Gawler Special Survey”. Described in George Loyau’s Gawler Handbook as one of the town’s most “vigorous” citizens, Mr Clement was heavily involved with many of Gawler’s activities, he was a committeeman and President of the Gawler Institute – donating the foundation stone for its erection, was treasurer of the Gawler Branch of the Bible Society, Lieutenant of the Gawler Rifles under Captain James Martin, a member of the Agricultural Society and of the Gawler School Board of Advice, as well as being a trustee of the Gawler Methodist Church and President of the Gawler Temperance League. A councillor through the 1860s, and Mayor in 1869 and 1870, Edward moved to Adelaide in 1889 and conducted business there, after he and his wife received a public farewell and presentation from the citizens of Gawler. Also a Justice of the Peace and hotellier, Mr Clement died at Parkside on October 19, 1908, and is buried in West Terrace Cemetery in Adelaide”.

On the LDS website, Richard James Clements was born on 4 Aug 1871 at Port Gawler to parents James Clements (b1822 Cambridgeshire, England, died 3 Jun 1882 Gawler River) and Elizabeth Mitchell (b1833 Altarnum, Cornwall, England and died 16 Nov 1909 Willaston), who had married 28 Apr 1856 Port Gawler. Richard James Clements was married on 22 Mar 1899 at Riverton SA to Sarah Ann Mitchell b1872. Their children included [1] Doris Jasper Clements born 28 Jan 1900 Port Gawler; [2] Anita Lilian Clements born 3 Jan 1903 Hyde Park SA (2). A search for Sarah Ann Mitchell at RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people tells us that Sarah Ann Mitchell was born on 28 Jan 1873 in Near Riverton SA to parents William Mitchell and Mary Jane Jasper. She was married in the residence of William Mitchell at Riverton on the 22 March 1899 to Richard James Clements aged 27. Neither of their daughters Doris Jasper Clements (born 27 Jan 1900 Port Gawler) and Anita Lilian Clements (born 3 Jan 1903 Hyde Park) had children (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clements_doris_jasper_&_sarah_ann.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I178604&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I217939 David Collier died aged 73 yrs on 3 June 1896, making his year of birth c1823. He seems to have been the second husband of Hannah Collier, who was formerly married to a Mr Young (1), but I’m unclear as to Hannah’s maiden name. On the LDS website, David Collier was born Abt 1824 to a father also David Collier. David Collier (Jr) was first married aged 33 yrs on 16 Sep 1857 in Adelaide to Bridget Smyth aged 21 yrs who was born in 1836. He was next married, apparently before 1868, to Hannah Saffin who was born Abt 1833. The children of David Collier and Hannah Saffin, all born in Gawler, included: [1] David Collier born 27 Aug 1868; [2] Hannah Collier born 5 Oct 1870; [3] Georgina Elizabeth Collier born 25 Jul 1873; [4] Reuben Collier born 15 Dec 1875; [5] Arthur James Collier born 28 Oct 1880 (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/collier_david.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I68009&tree=SouthAustralia Private LG Cluse has a military headstone, he died aged 49 years on 28 March 1963, wife Gladys (1). Leo George Cluse (1913-1963); his wife Florence Gladys Cluse (1913-1985) (2). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Florence Gladys Cluse died in 1986 (3), but it seems more likely 1985 to me [and also Leo George died in 1983!!). GenealogySA hasn’t got a lot of data on her death, but their Index of Newspaper Death Notices starts in 1985 for Florence Gladys (Flo) Cluse with 3 notices, one in 1986, 2 in each 1987 and 1988, then one for each year 1989 until 1992 (4), all of which means she died in 1985, not 1986. The WW2 Nominal Roll search for LG Cluse reveals the Service Record for Leo George Cluse who was born on 8 Jun 1913 in Kadina, SA but was living in Two Wells, SA when he enlisted 30 Dec 1941 Adelaide, SA in the Australian Army. His Next of Kin was Florence Cluse. Private Cluse was discharged 23 Jun 1948 from 10/48 Australian Infantry Battalion (5). Therefore LG Cluse and Leo Cluse are the same person. The Leo Cluse Marriage Index shows that in 1937 Leo George Cluse married Gladys Florence Griffin in the Daly District (6). A search at RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Gladys Florence Griffin was born on 31 Jul 1913 in Kadina SA to parents William Griffin and Elizabeth Catherine Gale (7). The Savill Index of Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser has one for Florence Gladys Cluse appearing on 1985-12-30, making her day of death likely to be around the 29th December (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cluse_l.g..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cluse_leo_george_&_florence_gladys.jpg 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Q2x1c2U=&g=RmxvcmVuY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=845533 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2x1c2U=&g=TGVv&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I570549 8 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html
131 Rebecca Collenette died in her 55th year on 15 March 1877; Thomas Collenette died aged 71 years on 16 Feb 1879, this headstone seems to have been reconstructed after it was broken, and is hard to read, especially in a photo taken from above (1), so it is not surprising that the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery only records Rebecca’s date of death and nothing for Thomas (2). According to the LDS website, Thomas Collenette was born in 1807 on the Channel Islands, arrived in SA in 1853 with his wife and children aboard the Neptune, and died 16 Feb 1879 in Gawler SA. He was married to Mrs Martha Collenette b1799 Channel Islands, died 29 Jan 1854 SA. Their children, all born in the Channel Islands included [1] Thomas Collenette b1829, died 5 Nov 1897 Gawler; [2] Peter Collenette b1832, died 19 Mar 1909 North Adelaide; [3] Lucy Gent formerly Penaluna nee Collenette b1833, d1909 SA; [4] Nicholas Collenette b1834, died 7 Mar 1913 Beaumont SA; [5] Mary Austin nee Collenette b1835; [6] Sophia Collenette b1836; [7] William Collenette b1840; [8] Joseph Collenette b1844, died 26 Feb 1854 SA. Thomas Collenette married again, this time on 26 Sep 1870 nr Gawler to a widow named Rebecca Baker born 1 Aug 1822 Kent, England, died 15 Mar 1877 Gawler (3). Still using LDS data, Rebecca Baker born 1 Aug 1822 in Kent to parents James Edward Baker (born 31 Jul 1787 Ulcolmbe, Kent, England and died 7 Jul 1873 Gawler River) and Frances Skinner (born 12 Nov 1789 Boxley, Kent, died 11 May 1887 Port Gawler), who were married 21 May 1809 in Barming, Kent. Rebecca Baker was married 15 Jun 1850 in Gawler to William Stark b1821. Her second marriage was on 26 Sep 1870 nr Gawler to Thomas Collenette (4). Rebecca’s death: “Died. Collenett[sic]. On the 15th March, at Gawler, Rebecca, the beloved wife of Thomas Collenett, sen., Gawler, aged 54. An old colonist of over 30 years.” The South Australian Advertiser on Saturday 24 March 1877 p15 (5). Thomas’ death: “Died. Collenette. On the 16th February, at Gawler, South Australia, after six mouths' illness, borne with Christian fortitude, Thomas Collenette, native of Guernsey, aged 71 years. A colonist of 25 years.“ The South Australian Advertiser, Friday 21 February 1879 p4 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/collenette_rebecca_&_thomas.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I176987&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I229109&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/33746737?searchTerm=Rebecca%20Collenette%201877&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29368441?searchTerm=Thomas%20Collenette&searchLimits= 132 Patrick Condon died 8 Oct 1901; Johanna Condon died 4 Feb 1932 (1). One assumption is that Patrick died in 1901 and not 2001, but the headstone and statue look old, and another assumption, most likely correct, is that Patrick and Johanna were a married couple. Nance Condon died 15 Sept 1953? Or is it maybe 1853 (2). I think Nance Condon died in September, not in August 1953 as it says on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (3). Nance’s death: “Condon. On September 16, at her residence, 9 Edith street. Gawler, Johanna [Nance], beloved daughter of the late Patrick and Johanna Condon, aged 78 years. Requiescat in pace.” The Advertiser, Thursday 17 September 1953 p22 (4).The Patrick Condon Marriage Index shows he was married in 1868 to Johanna Hogan in the Barossa District (5). The ‘all Condon” Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Patrick Condon and Johanna Hogan revealed no children born and/or registered in SA (6). As the Birth Indexes for Patrick Condon and Johanna Hogan were unhelpful, we must turn elsewhere to find out their ages at death or birthdates. On the Gawler Council website, Patrick Condon aged 58 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 9/10/1901 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 32 C 3, with Prior Kindelan officiating (7). Johanna Condon aged 86 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 6/02/1932 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 33 C 3, with Father Crowley officiating (8). Johanna Condon, age not given, who last resided in Gawler was buried 17/09/1953 in Willaston Cemetery re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 33 C 3, with Rev Father Sparkes officiating (9). So we now have all their ages at death, and we can calculate at least their approximate years of birth. According to the LDS website, Patrick Condon was born 1843 in Mitchelstown, Cork, Ireland and died 8 Oct 1901 in Gawler SA. He arrived in SA in 1866 aboard the British Lion, and was a labourer and boardinghouse keeper residing in Gawler. He was married 13 Feb 1868 in Gawler to Johanna Hogan {her father was William Hogan} born c1846 also in Mitchelstown, and died in Gawler in 1932. Their children included [1] Margaret Condon b1868; [2] Catherine Condon b1870; [3] Ellen Condon b1871, d1940; [4] Mary Condon b1873; [5] Johanna (Nance) Condon b1875, d1953; [6] William Condon b1877, d1887; [7] Bridget Mary Callier nee Condon b1879, died 28 Dec 1909 Gawler; [8] James Condon b1881; [9] John Condon b1883 (10). If the LDS site is accurate, and Patrick born in 1843, he would have been 58 years old when he died, and that is what the Burial Register says. His wife Johanna would have been at least 85 years old when she died if she was born in 1846. “A resident of Gawler for many years, Mrs Johanna Condon, 86, widow of Patrick Condon, died at her residence Edith street on February 4th. Born in Ireland, ‘Gran,' as she was familiarly called by those intimate with her, took advantage of the emigration to the new land of Australia, but, as she used to jokingly remark, not in her own name which was not discovered until nearing the shores of the Antipodes. She had vivid recollections of the sufferings caused by the potato blight in Ireland, when practically every growth shrivelled and left the country in a most desperate state. Marrying shortly after her arrival in Australia, she reared a family that has held the respect of the district throughout, the latter days of her life being tended by her daughter Miss Condon and her grand-daughter Miss Callier. The old lady was a delight to know, her knowledge and recollections of the district were profound, whilst the feature of her life was that if she knew nothing of good of an individual her mouth was closed against utterance. She was a compatriot of the late Mr WR Lewis, of Gawler, who in their later lives used to discuss and recall the happenings of Old Ireland. Her remains were interred in the Willaston cemetery on Saturday afternoon.” Bunyip, Friday 12 February 1932 p3 (11). “Fatal Accident. Gawler, October 8. A fatal accident happened here this morning. Mr Patrick Condon, a corporation employee, at an early hour this morning was in charge of a sanitary cart, which capsized near Dead Man's Pass and fell on him. He died soon after he was found. Deceased had been in the employ of the corporation for many years.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 9 October 1901 p7 (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/condon_patrick_&_johanna.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/condon_nance.jpg 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48924647?searchTerm=Nance%20Condon&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29uZG9u&g=UGF0cmljaw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29uZG9u&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31053 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32647 9 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33679 10 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I191583&tree=SouthAustralia 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96679255?searchTerm=Johanna%20Condon&searchLimits= 12 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/4882711?searchTerm=Patrick%20Condon&searchLimits= 133 Charlotte Christina Congdon died aged 68 years on 11 Dec 1940; her husband William Congdon died aged 79 years on 20 Sept 1949, late
of Wasleys, parents of Perce and Ralph (1). On the LDS website William Congdon was born 14 Oct 1869 Templers SA to parents Walter Congdon (b1826, died 29 Nov 1879 nr Templers) and Mary Ann Cheney (born 16 Jan 1835 Huntingdonshire, England) who had married 8 Oct 1856 in Gawler. William Congdon was married on 25 Mar 1897 in Templers to Charlotte Christina Charnstrom b1872. Their children included [1] William Percival Congdon born 2 Feb 1898 Templers; [2] Adela Vera Ruby Congdon born 14 Aug 1901 Wasleys (2). Still on the LDS website, the children of Walter and Mary Ann Congdon were [1] Mary Anne Congdon born 12 Jun 1857 nr Templers; [2] George Congdon born 24 Jun 1858 Templers; [3] Mary Jane Congdon born 22 Feb 1861 nr Templers; [4] James Thomas Congdon born 16 Mar 1863 Templers; [5] John Congdon born 1 Jul 1865 Head of Mudla Wirra [buried in Willaston]; [6] Sarah Congdon born 3 Aug 1867 Head of Mudla Wirra; [7] William Congdon born 14 Oct 1869 Templers [buried in Willaston]; [8] Emma Congdon born 11 Oct 1872 Templers, died before 1874; [9] Emma Congdon born 28 Jul 1874 nr Templers (3). “Marriages. Congdon—Charnstrom. On the 25th March, at the residence of the bridegroom's brother, by the Rev H Faull, William, the youngest son of the late Walter Congdon, of Templers, to Charlotte Christina, the eldest daughter of the late lsrael Charnstrom, late of Eudunda”, The Advertiser, Thursday 13 May 1897 p4 (4). John Congdon may not have married as there is no John Congdon Marriage Index at GenealogySA (5). John Congdon’s Death: “Man Dies During Driving Test: John Congdon, 78, farmer, of Templers, died at the wheel of his car at Gawler yesterday while undergoing a driving test for the renewal of his licence. Constable MB Thompson, of Gawler, was sitting beside Congdon when he collapsed. Gawler police are preparing a report.” The Advertiser, Friday 25 June 1943 p5 (6). John Congdon of Templers was not the John Congdon, husband of Ethel Montie Congdon nee Causby of Gawler [Notes 135, 137, 139], as he died in 1937: Congdon - On the 4th June, at Gawler, John, beloved husband of Ethel Monte Congdon, of Twelfth street, Gawler West, aged 55 years. The Advertiser, Monday 7 June 1937 p10 (7). Another brother of John and William was George Congdon, who also has records at the LDS site. George Congdon, born 24 Jun 1858 Templers to parents Walter and Mary Ann Congdon, was married on 26 Jun 1884 at Templers to Eliza Jane Buckley, who was born 31 May 1862 in Adelaide. Their children were [1] Walter Harold James Congdon born 3 May 1885 Templers [buried in Willaston]; [2] Alfred George Congdon born 30 Dec 1887 Templers; [3] Leonard Hall Congdon born 23 Dec 1890 nr Templers [buried in Willaston]; [4] Gladys Elsie Congdon born 6 Jul 1896 nr Templers [?buried in Willaston] (8). On their headstone, Ethel Congdon died aged 44 years on 8 June 1941; her husband Walter HJ Congdon died aged 70 years on 3 Feb 1956, parents of Jim and Allen (9). The Walter Congdon Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Walter Harold James Congdon was married in 1915 to Ethel Linton in the Barossa District (10). Searching on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Ethel Linton (sometimes called Ethel Linton Kalms) was born on 3 Feb 1897 in Lyndoch to parents George Edward Linton and Pauline Kalms (11). The Leonard Congdon Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Leonard Hall Congdon married Nellie Louisa Freer from Adelaide in 1926 (12). Back on RootsWeb, Nellie Louisa Freer was born on 15 Jul 1902 in Paskeville SA to parents William Richard Freer and Louisa Hewlett (13). Roy Ernest Congdon has a headstone that is very hard to read. He died aged 40 years on 1 Nov 1967 (1), not 1867 as it says on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (15). The Roy Congdon Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Roy Earnest[sic] Congdon was born in 1918 to parents Leonard Hall Congdon and Lorina Agnes Marie Hansen in the Barossa District (16), meaning that Leonard Hall Congdon had been married twice, as confirmed by the Leonard Congdon Marriage Index where it says that Leonard Hall Congdon was married in 1911 to Lorina Agnes Marie Hansen in the Port Adelaide District, and then in 1926 to Nellie Louisa Freer in the Barossa District (17). The Service Record for Roy Ernest Congdon can be found at the World War Two Nominal Roll, and it says that he was born on 2 Mar 1918 in Gawler, and was living in Willaston when he enlisted in the Australian Army on 8 Nov 1943, with Beth Congdon as next of kin. He was discharged as Corporal Congdon on 5 Feb 1946 (18). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/congdon_charlotte_christina_&_william.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I176143&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I176131&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35078570?searchTerm=Charlotte%20Christina%20Charnstrom&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29uZ2Rvbg==&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48757991?searchTerm=John%20Congdon&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30749108?searchTerm=John%20Congdon&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I176139&tree=SouthAustralia 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/congdon_ethel_&_walter_h.j.jpg 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29uZ2Rvbg==&g=V2FsdGVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I173404 12 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29uZ2Rvbg==&g=TGVvbmFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 13 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I78351 14 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/congdon_roy_ernest.jpg 15 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 16 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29uZ2Rvbg==&g=Um95&c=&y=&r=MA== 17 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29uZ2Rvbg==&g=TGVvbmFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 18 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=697749 134 Martha Congdon (1850-1913) shares a headstone with a family named Stone, the possibility is that her maiden name was Stone (1). On the LDS website, Samuel Stone was born Abt 1810, and married Martha Williams also born Abt 1810. They had four children (2). The LDS website tells us that the family of Samuel Stone and Martha Williams included the following children [1] Samuel Thomas Stone born in 1836 and was married on 6 Feb 1858 in the Gawler Hills to Elizabeth Ann Harvey Matthews. He died on 31 Mar 1898 at Willowie SA; [2] Martha Stone born on 12 Aug 1850 in Black Forest SA, was married on 20 Dec 1883 in Gawler to Richard Waters Congdon, and she [as Martha Congdon] died 7 Aug 1913 at Hindmarsh; [3] William Stone was born 30 Jun 1852 Black Forest SA, and was married on 7 Aug 1882 at New Thebarton SA to Rose Pittman; [4] James Stone was born 17 Dec 1856 Gawler Hills, was married on 19 Jun 1884 in Gawler to Elizabeth Ann Congdon, and he died 13 Jun 1897 in Gawler (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/congdon_martha.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I62465&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F15282&tree=SouthAustralia 135 WH (Bill) Congdon died aged 75 years on 16 Nov 1985; his wife Beth Congdon died aged 91 years on 12 Feb 2003, parents of Robert and Peter (1). Bill would thus have been born c1910, and Beth c1912. The ‘W Congdon’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows only one birth in 1910, William Henry Congdon who was born to parents John Congdon and Ethel Montie Causby in the Port Gawler District (2). There is no William Henry Congdon Wedding Index (3), so we must look elsewhere for their wedding to find Beth’s maiden name. There’s not much about Beth Congdon on GenealogySA, apart from the section on Newspaper Death Notices where it says that Beth Dawson

Congdon has Notices in the Advertiser in 2003 (4). Their wedding was announced: “The marriage of Beth, only daughter of Mr and Mrs AD Jordan, of Gawler, to William, eldest son of Mrs and the late Mr J Congdon of Gawler South will be solemnised at the Tod street Methodist Church, Gawler, on Saturday, 18th of February, at 7 pm.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 16 February 1939 p25 (5). Now we have Beth’s maiden name, we can search RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people to see that Beth Dawson Jordan was born on 4 Feb 1912 in East Gawler to parents Arthur Dawson Jordan and Elizabeth Ellen Bullen (6), so she was just 91 years by a week when she died. Also on RootsWeb, William Henry Congdon was born on 24 Mar 1910 in Gawler to parents John Congdon and Ethel Montie Causby (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/congdon_w.h._%28bill%29_&_beth.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29uZ2Rvbg==&g=Vw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29uZ2Rvbg==&g=Vw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Q29uZ2Rvbg==&g=QmV0aA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92442509?searchTerm=Beth%20Congdon&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I602658 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I528320 William Percival Congdon died aged 84 years on 21 Aug 1982; his wife Gladys Congdon died aged 97 years on 31 Jan 1995, parents of Elizabeth (1). The William Congdon Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1924 William Percival Congdon was married to Gladys Kathleen Gorman in Adelaide (2). We know from Note 133 that William Percival Congdon was born on 2 Feb 1898 in Templers to parents William Congdon and Charlotte Christina Charnstrom. Searching RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian shows that Gladys Kathleen Gorman was born on 21 Sep 1896 in Gawler to parents James Gorman and Elizabeth Delaney (3), so she was really 98 years old when she died. The ‘all Congdon’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking parents William Percival Congdon and Gladys Kathleen Gorman shows Elizabeth Charlotte Congdon was born in 1926 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/congdon_william_percival_&_gladys.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29uZ2Rvbg==&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I101246 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29uZ2Rvbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Jack Eric Congdon died aged 83 years on 6 March 1995; Mavis Jean Rosetta Congdon died aged 89 years on 8 Feb 2001 (1), so both were born c1912. The Jack Congdon Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Jack Eric Congdon was married in 1932 to Mavis Jean Donohue in Adelaide (2). The ‘all Congdon’ Birth Index seeking parents Jack Eric Congdon and Mavis Jean Donohue resulted in no issue, although it did show that Jack Eric Congdon was born in 1912 to parents John Congdon and Ethel Montie Causby in the Port Gawler District (3). Searching RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian shows that Jack Eric Congdon was born on 6 Aug 1912 in Gawler to parents John Congdon and Ethel Montie Causby (4). Still on RootsWeb, Mavis Rosetta Donohue was born on 23 Jan 1912 in Gawler to parents Joseph Bernard Donohue and Hilda May Freeman (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/congdon_jack_eric_&_mavis_jean_rosetta.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29uZ2Rvbg==&g=SmFjaw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29uZ2Rvbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I528322 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I542883 Eric Congdon died aged 68 years on 9 March 1983; his wife Ethel died aged 89 years on 26 Aug 2003, parents of Mavis (1). The World War 2 Nominal Roll has the Service Record of Eric Congdon. Eric James Congdon was born on 26 May 1914 at Templers SA, and was living in Seaton Park SA when he enlisted on 5 Mar 1941 in the Australian Army, citing Leonard Congdon as next of kin (2). Searching for Ethel’s maiden name when there is no Marriage Index for Eric: “Watson —Congdon. The engagement is announced of Ethel A, younger daughter of Mr and Mrs RJ Watson, of Hermitage, to Eric J, eldest son of Mr LH Congdon, and the late Mrs Congdon, of Templers.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 19 June 1941 p20 (3). Now we know Ethel was Ethel A Watson, the RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows Ethel Alice Watson born 6 Jun 1914 Tea Tree Gully to parents Robert John Watson and Bessie Verrall (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/congdon_eric_&_ethel.jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=703363 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92416378?searchTerm=Eric%20Congdon%20Ethel&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I724192 Frank Congdon died aged 62 years on 1 Oct 1984; his wife Kathleen Mary Congdon died aged 79 years on 31 July 2003, parents of Gregory, Stephen and Lindy (1). The Frank Congdon Birth Index at GenealogySA shows he was born in 1921 to parents John Congdon and Ethel Montie Causby in the Port Adelaide District (2), but there is no Frank Congdon Marriage Index, nor is there a military record. To find Kathleen’s maiden name, a search on Trove was in order: “Omond—Congdon. The engagement is announced of Kathleen, elder daughter Mr and Mrs Omond, of Mile End, to Frank, younger son of Mrs and late Mr J Congdon, of Gawler.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 21 September 1944 p15 (3). Now we can go to RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people to find that Frank Congdon was born 1 Nov 1921 in Gawler to parents John Congdon and Ethel Montie Causby (4), and Kathleen Mary Omond was born 19 Sep 1923 in Mile End SA to parents Edwin Charles Omond and Kathleen Brady (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/congdon_frank_&_kathleen_mary.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29uZ2Rvbg==&g=RnJhbms=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92808505?searchTerm=Frank%20Congdon%20Kathleen&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I528338 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I654012 Private LR Connolly of 24 Infantry Battalion died aged 77 years on 17 Sept 2002 (1). Turning to the World War Two Nominal Roll, we find the Service Record for Leslie Ross Connolly who was born on 16 Jun 1925 in Broken Hill NSW, and was still in residence at Broken Hill when he enlisted 5 Jul 1943 at Wayville SA in the Australian Army, citing Annie Connolly as next of kin. He was discharged on 5 Jul 1946 as Private LR Connolly from the 24 Australian Infantry Battalion (2). The Savill Index for the Advertiser newspaper Funeral Notices has Leslie (Les) Connolly on 2002-09-18 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/connolly_l.r..jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=718765 3 www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html Hannah Crackle died aged 87 years on 25 June 1897 (1).

1897 in the Barossa District, the nominated relative was her deceased husband Samuel Crackle (2). “The Late Mrs Crackle: On Friday last, one of the pioneers passed away in the person of Mrs Hannah Crackle at the advanced age of 87. The deceased lady and her husband, the late Mr Samuel Crackle, came to the town in 1847 and later on settled near Willaston. The hill leading into Willaston from Gawler River was named after them. Mr Crackle, who was a horse dealer, died many years ago as the result of an accident. Since then Mrs Crackle has lived almost in complete retirement with her adopted daughter, who singularly was taken ill a fortnight ago and died on the Sunday preceding the death of the old lady. There are no relations in the colony”, Bunyip, Friday 2 July 1897 p2 (3). The Samuel Crackle Death Index at GenealogySA shows he died in 1863 (4).

There is a fourth name mentioned below these three siblings, and I wonder if it is also a sibling: Lena Florence Coombe (19 July 1888--2 Feb 1925) (1). Turning to RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we can find the dates of birth of all three children buried here, born to parents Thomas Coombe and Lucy Emily Collenette: Lock Leonard Coombe was born on 20 Jan 1885 in Gawler (2), Arthur Whicker Lock Coombe was born on 23 Sep 1892 in Gawler (3), and Violet Lucy Coombe was born on 6 Aug 1900 in Willaston (4). Lena Florence Coombe was born on 19 Jul 1888 in Gawler (5), making her a longer surviving sibling of the three abovementioned, although I note that the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says she was born in 1880, but the headstone clearly says (if in small print on the photo) that she was born in 1888. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/cd/coombe_leonard_lock,_arthur_w.l.,_violet_l_&_lena_florence.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I22327 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I22236 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I333043 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I22321 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm This Coombe headstone is almost illegible, even when magnified. Norman Thomas Coombe, beloved husband of Olive and ?father of Arthur, Colin and ?? passed away ?24 Aug 1958 aged ?66 years; his wife Olive EM Coombe died aged ?45 years on ?8 June 19__? (1). I’ll have to rely on what is said at the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, that Norman Thomas Coombe died aged 66 years on 21 Dec 1958; and Olive EM Coombe died aged 75 years on 8 June 1968 (2). The Norman Coombe Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Norman Thomas Coombe was married in 1913 to Olive Emmeline Margaret Edson in the Barossa District (3). By searching on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people we find that Norman Thomas Coombe was born on 19 May 1890 in Gawler to parents Thomas Coombe and Lucy Emily Collenette (4), making him a brother of the 3 deceased children, and the sister Lena mentioned in Note 142. And still on RootsWeb we can find Olive Emmeline Margaret Edson who was born on 31 Jul 1892 in Port Pirie to parents William Edward Edson and Edith Lillias Clark (5). There is now the problem that if the dates of death are accurate, Norman Thomas Coombe was 68 yrs when he died, not 66 years old, and Olive Emmeline Margaret Coombe would have been 74 years old, but I can accept that this would make her ‘in her 75th year’. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/coombe_norman_thomas_&_olive_e.m..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29vbWJl&g=Tm9ybWFu&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I22346 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I66559 John Thomas Coombe died aged 63 years on 12 April 1966; wife of Christina Coombe who died aged 63 years on 11 June 1963, parents of Darcy, Robert F, Doreen, Dorothy and John (1). The John Coombe Birth Index at GenealogySA shows the only likely name was John Thomas Coombe who was born in 1902 to parents Thomas Coombe and Winifred Ryan in the Clare District (2), and the John Coombe Marriage Index shows that in 1925 John Thomas Coombe was married to Christion[sic] Murphy in the Frome District (3). I cannot find their newspaper Marriage Announcement but here’s their Engagement Notice, reading from a poor scan: “Murphy—Coombe. The engagement is announced of ?Chrissie, eldest daughter of Mrs and Mr JA Murphy, Hilton, to Jack, youngest son of Mr and the late Mrs T Coombe, Peterborough.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 21 September 1921 p8 (4). Searching RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows John Thomas Coombe was born on 6 Jul 1902 in Jamestown SA to parents Thomas Coombe (born c1860) and Winifred Ryan (born c1869) (5). Still on RootsWeb, Joseph Robert Francis Coombe was born on 26 Mar 1927 in Peterborough SA to parents John Thomas Coombe and Christina Murphy (6). But there’s no sign of Christina Murphy on RootsWeb, nor any name containing ‘Christ..’ Christina’s maiden name is confirmed by the following births found via the ‘all Coombe’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Thomas Coombe and Christina Murphy: all were born in the Frome District: [1] John Leslie Darcy Coombe b1925; [2] Joseph Robert Francis Coombe b1927; [3] Mary Winifred Doreen Coombe b1928 (7), but I’m stuck on Christina Coombe nee Murphy’s date of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/coombe_john_thomas_&_christina.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29vbWJl&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29vbWJl&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35259748?searchTerm=Coombe%20Murphy&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I332987 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I529400 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29vbWJl&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== This headstone is not easy to read. Elsie May Coombe died aged ?? on ??8th Dec 195_4?7?; her husband William George Coombe died aged 81 years on 4 Aug 1959 (1). It’s reassuring that the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery also had trouble reading Elsie May Coombe’s headstone (2). I have spent quite a few hours trying to work on this – but cannot find much – nothing on Genealogy SA for Elsie May, nor for William George, nor on RootsWeb, nor LDS. My only hit was on Trove, finding an Elsie May Coombe reporting the suicide of her husband William – See Barrier Miner [Broken Hill], Saturday 6 November 1954 p3 (3), but maybe it was all just a coincidence, and the ages didn’t quite fit. Then the thought came, what if it wasn’t Coombe at all, but Coumbes, or Coombs? So I took a closer look at the headstone. Talk of the power of suggestion, thinking it must be a Coombe amidst all those other ones! But
maybe the third letter of William’s surname was a “u” and not an “o”. I tried a few different Cou__ surnames and finally found a William George Courtis, who was born in my calculated year of c18178 {1959 minus 81} and by searching on the RootsWeb WorldConnect website for South Australian people, found that William George Courtis was born on 7 Mar 1878 in Gawler to parents Charles Courtis and Elizabeth Martha Skewes (4). At this stage I went to the LDS website to see if they had more story on William George Courtis than appears at the RootsWeb site. William George Courtis was born on 7 Mar 1878 in Gawler to parents Charles Courtis (or Curtis, b1845, Cornwall, England) and Elizabeth Martha Skewes (b1845). William George Courtis was married on 3 Apr 1912 in Willaston to Elsie May Greaves born 10 Jan 1884 Willaston (5). The Elsie Courtis search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows that Elsie May Courtis was 74 years old when she died in 1954 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/coombe_elsie_may_&_william_george.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/49971822?searchTerm=Elsie%20May%20Coombe&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I25867 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I173740&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q291cnRpcw==&g=RWxzaWU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 146 Zalmona Corey died 18 Oct 1946; his wife Mary (May) Corey died 3 April 1975, parents of Beryl and Nancy (1). The Zalmona Corey Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in 1922 to Mary Catherine Allan in the Barossa District (2). A search at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Zalmona Corey was born on 7 May 1902 in Gawler to parents William James Busbridge Corey (born 19 Dec 1876 in Kensington SA) and Eva May Hillier (born 14 May 1876 at Gawler River) (3), but unfortunately, there is no mention of Mary Catherine Allan’s birth at RootsWeb. According to the LDS website, Zalmona Corey’s father William James Busbridge Corey was born 19 Dec 1876 Kensington SA to parents William Emery Corey (b1851) and Sarah Ann Catherine Busbridge (b1854) [see Note 147], who had married 20 Apr 1872 in Gawler [ie these are Zamona’s paternal grandparents]. William James Busbridge Corey was first married on 30 Mar 1899 Gawler to Eva May Hillier (born 14 May 1876 Gawler River and died 14 Jan 1907 Gawler). Their children included [1] Lorna Eileen Corey born 25 Jan 1901 Gawler; [2] Zalmona Corey born 7 May 1902 Gawler; [3-4] at least 2 more “Living” children. William James Busbridge Corey was then married on 3 Aug 1908 in Gawler to Frances Elizabeth Lamb born 4 Aug 1862 Bowden SA (4), who was 10 years his senior. Eva May Corey’s Death in 1907: “Deaths. Corey: On the 14th January, at Private Hospital, King-street, Gawler, Eva May, dearly-beloved wife of WJ Corey, and youngest daughter of the late Mr George Hillier, aged 30 years, leaving a husband and four children to mourn their loss.” Bunyip, Friday 18 January 1907 p2 (5). “Zalmona Corey, born 7 May 1902 in Gawler SA, buried 19 Oct 1946 in Willaston Cemetery Gawler SA. He married 10 Jun 1922 at Gawler SA, Mary Catherine Allan, born cir 1898, buried 4 May 1975 in Willaston Cemetery Gawler SA.” From Corey genealogy from 1824 Cornwall to Australia (6). “Engagements: Corey-Allan. The engagement is announced of Mary, eldest daughter of the late Charles Allan and Mrs Sorenson, of Melbourne, and George, eldest son of Mr and the late Mrs WJ Corey, Gawler South.” The Mail (Adelaide), Saturday 23 October 1920 p13 (7). “Death. Corey: On October 18th, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Zalmona (Mo) beloved husband of May, and loving father of Beryl and Nancy, aged 44 years. Some day we'll understand.” Bunyip, Friday 25 October 1946 p5 (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/corey_zalmona_&_mary_%28may%29.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29yZXk=&g=WmFsbW9uYQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I334396 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I118481&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97597059?searchTerm=May%20Corey&searchLimits=l-title=371 6 http://members.westnet.com.au/dcollett/COREY.html 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/63883430?searchTerm=Allan%20Corey&searchLimits= 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96848919?searchTerm=Zalmona%20Corey&searchLimits= 147 SAC Corey died aged 88 years on 26 May 1943; her husband WE Corey died aged 95 years on 17 January 1948 (1), are the Sarah Ann Catherine Corey nee Busbridge and William Emery Corey discussed in Note 146, the paternal grandparents of Zamona Corey. William Emery Corey was born in 1851, his father was William Corey. William Emery Corey was married on 20 Apr 1872 in Gawler to Sarah Ann Catherine Busbridge b1854. Their children were [1] Emma Henrietta Corey born 25 Feb 1873 Gawler; [2] Susan Jane Corey born 9 Feb 1875 Adelaide; [3] William James Busbridge Corey born 19 Dec 1876 Kensington SA [see Note 146]; [4] Sarah Philadelphia Marion May Corey born 9 Jun 1879 Glanville SA, died 3 Apr 1881 Yatala SA: [5] Ella Myrtle Dulcebella Corey born 12 Jan 1881 Rosewater SA; [6] Sarah Pearl Philadelphia Nellie Corey born 25 Mar 1883 Yatala, died 2 Jul 1905 Gawler; [7] Irene Emily Adelaide Maxsted Corey born 17 Mar 1886 Yatala; [8] Alberta Victoria Annie Maud Corey b1888; [9] Winifred Hyacinth Gladys Corey b1890, died 3 Jan 1902 Gawler; [10] Richard Frank George Edward Wright Corey born 2 Jul 1893 Gawler; [11] Ruby Laurel Constance Corey born 13 Jan 1896 Gawler (2). “Death. Corey. On 26th May at her late residence, 29 Jacob Street, Gawler, Sarah Ann Catherine, the loving wife of WE Corey in her 89th year. At rest. Leaving six daughters and two sons.” Bunyip, Friday 4 June 1943 p3 (3). “Winifred Hyacinth Gladys Corey was born 1890 in Lancefield Vic, died 3 Jan 1902 in Gawler SA.” From Corey genealogy from 1824 Cornwall to Australia (4), explaining why she’s not on the SA birth lists. “Deaths. Corey: On the 3rd January, at Victoria-terrace Gawler, Winifred Hyacinth Gladys (Winnie), the beloved daughter of WE and S Corey, and granddaughter of Mr James Busbridge, sen, aged 11 years 5 months. A patient sufferer at rest.” The Advertiser, Saturday 4 January 1902 p6 (5). Clem Corey died aged 22 years and 2 months on 30 Sept 1922, another child of WE and S Corey (6), making his year of birth c1900. He does not appear on the list of the 11 children noted above, and isn’t noted on RootsWeb either, possibly he was like several older siblings and was born interstate. There is no Clem Corey Birth Index on GenealogySA, but the Clem Corey Marriage Index shows that he was married in 1921 to Ethel May Milton in the Hindmarsh District (7). The Clem Corey Death Index shows that Clem Roy Albertine died in 1922 in the Barossa District (8). “Death. Corey. On the 30th September, at his residence, Jacob Street, Clem, dearly beloved son of WE and S Corey, husband of Ethel May, and loving father of little Keith. Only ill two days of acute pneumonia. Sadly missed.” Bunyip, Friday 6 October 1922 p2 (9). The ‘all Corey’ Birth Index shows that William Keith Corey was born in 1922 to parents Clem Corey and Ethel May Milton in the Barossa District (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/corey_s.a.c._&_w.e..jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I167899&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96861402?searchTerm=Mrs%20Corey%20death&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://members.westnet.com.au/dcollett/COREY.html 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/4891542 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/corey_philly_may,_winnie,_pearl_&_clem.jpg

His year of birth would be c1853. According to the LDS website, Martin Cork was born on 28 Sep 1852 at Marora Creek SA to parents Jeffrey Cork (b1816, died 31 Oct 1899 Adelaide) and Eliza Suter (b1826, died 6 Jan 1898 Sanderston SA), who had married in SA. Martin Cork was married on 10 Apr 1877 at North Rhine SA to Emma Fowler b1855, died 26 Oct 1914 Gawler. Their children were [1] Gerlen Leslie Manuel Martin Cork born 28 Oct 1883 Two Wells SA; [2] Alice Emma Cork born 23 Jan 1886 Virginia SA; [3] Rosina Madeline May Cork born 4 May 1888 Angaston SA; [4] Myrtle Hilda Cork born 20 Feb 1892 Willaston SA; [5] Lindsay Gordon Launcelot Cork born 28 Dec 1895 Angaston; [6] Verena Florence Daisy Cork born 16 Jul 1898 Angaston (2). Some further family information is also available on the LDS website. Emma Fowler was born in 1855, her father was James Fowler; [3] Rosina Madeline May Cork was married on 3 Jun 1908 in Balaklava to George Douglas Jones; [4] Myrtle Hilda Cork was married 11 Aug 1915 in Gawler to Wilfred George Heath Atyeo; [6] Verena Florence Daisy Cork was married 26 Aug 1916 Gawler South to Harold Freeman (3). On their headstone, Leslie Cork died aged 75 years on 26 June 1959; his wife Edith Cork died aged 76 years on 8 April 1964, parents of Dulcie and Frank (4). There is no Leslie Cork Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but the Frank Cork Birth Index shows that Frank Elliot Cork was born in 1911 to parents Gyrline Leslie Cork and Edith Elizabeth Smith in the Port Gawler District (5). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Frank Elliot Cork was born on 19 Feb 1911 in Gawler (6), and Edith Elizabeth Smith was born on 8 Apr 1887 in Port Vincent SA to parents Joseph Smith and Mary Ann Chase (7). On her headstone, Elizabeth Cork died aged 73 years on 23 June 1943 (8). The Elizabeth Cork Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when she died in 1943, the nominated relative was her deceased husband Martin Cork (9). So had Martin Cork married twice? It seems so, as the Martin Cork Marriage Index shows an 1877 marriage to Emma Fowler in the Angaston District, and a 1921 marriage to Elizabeth Maye in the Port Adelaide District (10). This confirms that it’s the same Martin Cork: “Deaths: Cork. On May 20th, 1929, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Martin Cork, dearly loved father of Mr Les Cork, Mrs A Stacey, Mrs GD Jones, Mrs WGH Atyeo, and Mrs H Freeman. ....” “Cork. On the 20th May, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Martin, the beloved husband of Elizabeth Cork, of Queen street, Gawler, in his 77th year.” Bunyip, Friday 24 May 1929 p5 (11). There is no Elizabeth Maye on the RootsWeb site, so she may have been married before. Without knowing her maiden name, we cannot progress further with her date of birth 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cork_martin.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I124292&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F35412&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cork_leslie_&_edith.jpg 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29yaw==&g=RnJhbms=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I530478 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I410714 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cork_elizabeth.jpg 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q29yaw==&g=RWxpemFiZXRo&c=&y=&r=MA== 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29yaw==&g=TWFydGlu&c=&y=&r=MA== 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96666762?searchTerm=martin%20cork&searchLimits=l-title=371 Christopher Donald Cormack was born 27 Aug 1961 and died 15 July 1990, son of Donald and Aileen, brother of Suzanne and Sharon (1).

The Frank Cornish Marriage Index shows he was married in 1909 to Martha Eleanor Redden in Adelaide (2). RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Frank Cornish was born on 2 Mar 1880 in Nr Stansbury SA to parents Robert Cornish (born 22 Sep 1844 in Gumeracha SA) and Sarah Catherine Rush (born 15 Jul 1844 in Adelaide) (3), and Martha Eleanor Redden was born on 15 Jul 1884 in Prairie SA to parents William Redden and Martha Caroline Hoad (4). Their sons [1] Lyndsay George Cornish was born on 14 Nov 1920 in Gawler (5) and Ambrose Frank Cornish was born on 20 Aug 1912 in Gawler (6). According to the data available on the LDS website, Robert Cornish was born 22 Sep 1844 at Gumeracha SA, died 16 Jul 1923 and is buried in Gumeracha. His parents were Thomas Vivian Cornish and Grace Ambrose [see Note 151 for their details]. Robert Cornish was a farmer, dairyman, and orchardist who had resided in East Adelaide, Marden, Stansbury amongst others. He was married 1 Mar 1866 at the Zion Chapel, Pulteney Street, Adelaide to Sarah Catherine Rush born 15 Jul 1844 Adelaide (her parents were Isaac Rush and Sarah Brock), and she died 8 Jun 1924 Gumeracha.

The Alan Cornish Marriage Index shows that Alan James Cornish was married in 1932 to Adeline Mona Martin in the Mount Barker District (2). RootsWeb tells us that Alan James Cornish was born on 27 Jun 1905 in Stansbury SA to parents William Ambrose Cornish (born 8 Apr 1867 in Payneham, Adelaide) and Ann Brook (born 28 Apr 1869 in Bason Yankalilla SA (3). Frank’s father Robert Cornish [see Note 150] was the younger brother of James Cornish, whose son William Ambrose Cornish (ie, a cousin of Frank) had a son Alan James Cornish. So Alan James was Frank’s second cousin, making Ambrose Frank and Lyndsay George distant cousins (thrice removed) of Alan James. The father of Robert and James Cornish was Thomas Vivian Cornish.

itemised below for those interested. Thomas Vivian Cornish was born in 1799 Devon, England and died 2 Apr 1870 Port Elliot SA. His parents were Matthew Cornish and Grace Vivian. Thomas Vivian Cornish arrived in SA during 1840 aboard the Brightman, and was a farmer, orchardist, slaughterman, milkman who had lived in Stepney, East Adelaide, Gumeracha amongst others.

Robert Cornish has been discussed already in Note 150. His older brother James will now be discussed to explain the link to Alan James Cornish. James Cornish was born on 11 May 1840 probably at sea and he died 22 Oct 1902 in Port Adelaide. His parents were Thomas Vivian Cornish and Grace Ambrose as described above. Accompanied by his parents and siblings, James Cornish arrived 1840 aboard the Brightman. His occupations included a pastor, farmer, fruitgrower and jam factory proprietor who had lived in Stepney, Payneham, Stansbury and in the Adelaide Hills. James Cornish was married on 28 May 1862 at the residence of Jacob Abbott in Adelaide to Mary Susannah Wheaton who was born 8 May 1841 Park Farm SA to parents Nathaniel Wheaton and Mary Wheaton formerly Haley nee Bell.

The search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people for Victor Raymond Couchman yields nothing (2), and neither does a search at GenealogySA’s Birth and Marriage Indexes. A search of the Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser Newspaper shows that one for Victor Raymond Couchman was posted on 1977-09-03 (3). It becomes understandable why he has no early SA records, as Victor Raymond Couchman comes from Victoria, as shown on his RAAF Service Record: Victor Raymond Couchman was born on 3 Sep 1921 at Northcote, Vic and was living in Greensborough when he enlisted on 29 Dec 1942 in Melbourne in the Royal Australian Air Force, citing his Next of Kin to be Florence Couchman. He was discharged as Leading Aircraftman Couchman on 31 Jan 1947 from 1 Aircraft Depot (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/couchman_victor_raymond.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=136192 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 4 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=R&VeteranId=965020 B Cornelius has an RAAF headstone saying he died aged 73 years on 30 Sept 1997 (1). The World War Two Nominal Roll has the Service Record for Bryan Cornelius with the same Service Number as appears on the headstone. Bryan Cornelius was born on 21 Dec 1923 in Payneham SA and was living in South Plympton SA when he enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force on 26 May 1942, citing Anna Cornelius as his Next of Kin. He was discharged on 7 Mar 1946 as a Leading Aircraftman from 82 Wing Headquarters (2). He was born in 1923 to parents Stuart Cornelius and Anna Johanna Adams in the Norwood District (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cornelius_b.jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=R&VeteranId=896743 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29ybmVsaXVz&g=Qg==&c=&y=&r=MA== Minna Basham died 16 Jan 1934, the daughter of Frederick Basham (1). There is no Minna Basham Birth Index at GenealogySA, but the ‘all Basham’ Birth Index shows that Ida Minna Basham was born in 1898 to parents Frederick Basham and Sarah Jane Gray in the Encounter Bay District (2). By checking the SA birth index on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people we find that Ida Minna Basham was born on 12 Feb 1898 in Hindmarsh Valley SA to parents Frederick Basham and Sarah Jane Gray (3), and was thus 35, almost 36 yrs old when she died. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/basham_minna.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFzaGFt&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I296209 Beryl Doreen Bessen died aged 95 yrs on 31 July 2006; wife of Murray, mother of Fay, Heather and Harvey (1). Murray John Bessen died aged 76 yrs on 12 March 1987, husband of Beryl Doreen and father of the same children (2). The Murray Bessen Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Murray John Bessen was married in the Barossa District in 1930 to Beryl Doreen Kennewell (3). By searching the SA birth records found on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we find that Murray John Bessen was born on 26 Sep 1910 in Gawler to parents Richard Bessen (Snr) and Elizabeth Sharp (4), and Beryl Doreen Kennewell was born on 12 May 1911 in Sandy Creek SA to parents Amos Andrew Kennewell and Winnifred Perry (5). The ‘all Bessen’ search at GenelogySA’s Birth Index seeking offspring of Richard Bessen and Elizabeth Sharp reveals three children all born in the Barossa District [1] Murray John Bessen b1910 to parents Richard Bessen and Elizabeth Sharp; [2] Richard Carl Bessen (Jnr) b1912 to parents Richard Carl Bessen and Lizzie Sharp; [3] Melville Ross Bessen b1913 to parents Richard Bessen and Elizabeth Sharp (6). The Richard Bessen Marriage Index shows he was married in 1910 to Elizabeth Sharp in the Port Gawler District (7). A general Google search of Frieda Bessen showed a family genealogy website called MyTree which had a record of Frieda Albeta Bessen nee Kumnick [1908-1965] who had married Richard Carl Bessen (8), but I cannot find a birth record for Frieda Albeta Kumnick on the RootsWeb site nor on GenealogySA’s Birth or Marriage Index and am wondering if she was born interstate or even overseas. Turning back to the RootsWeb site, Richard Carl Bessen (Jnr) was born on 20 Mar
1912 in Gawler to parents Richard Carl Bessen and Lizzie Sharp (9), and on looking for Elizabeth Sharp on RootsWeb, there was no suitable one, but there was Lizzie Sharp who was born 13 Nov 1880 in Gawler to parents John Sharp and Selina Leaker (10). Richard Carl Bessen (Snr) does not appear on the RootsWeb under that name, but his death is noted in 1940: “Bessen. On the 28th of December, at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, Richard, beloved husband of the late Elizabeth Bessen. Aged 64 years. Late of Gawler.” The Advertiser, Monday 30 December 1940 p4 (11). Note that this clearly states 1940, not 1941 as on headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bessen_beryl_doreen.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bessen_murray_john.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVzc2Vu&g=TXVycmF5&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I445980 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I561256 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmVzc2Vu&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVzc2Vu&g=UmljaGFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.mytrees.info/ancestry/Other/Died-1965/Ku/Kumnick-family/Frieda-Kumnick-sc001334-3532.html 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I445981 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I334332 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/41912745?searchTerm=Bessen%20Richard%20Sharp%20Elizabeth&searchLimits= 156 Jean Cory (1935-1994) is buried amongst Raedel family members – the dearly loved wife of Leo (1). Is she Jean Cory or Jean Cory Raedel? The the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery thinks it is Jean Cory but I think it more likely she was Jean Cory Raedel (2), otherwise her husband Leo would have to be Leo Cory. There is absolutely nothing at GenealogySA for Jean Cory but when searching for Jean Raedel, there are several mentions for Jean Raedel at Newspaper Death Notices for 1994 (3). There is no mention on GenealogySA of a marriage of Leo Raedel to a Jean Cory, but by searching old newspapers using Trove: “Engagements: Francis—Raedel. The engagement is announced of Jean, second daughter of Mr and Mrs AJ Francis, of Hindmarsh, to Leo, only son of Mr and Mrs AH Raedel of Bowden”, The Advertiser, Tuesday 5 January 1954 p22 (4). A search at RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no Leo Raedel, nor a Jean Francis b1935 (5). Leo Henry Raedel is born: Births: “Raedel. On the 27th November, at Hindmarsh, to Mr and Mrs A Raedel — a son (Leo Henry). Thanks to Dr Bonnin and Nurse Marsh” The Advertiser, Wednesday 2 December 1931 p14 (6). I’m not sure the significance of “Cory”, and cannot find a newspaper birth notice for Jean Francis b1935. The problem is actually proving it without access to recent Willaston Cemetery records 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cory_jean.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=UmFlZGVs&g=SmVhbg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47588118?searchTerm=Jean%20Raedel&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=214995 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29878553?searchTerm=Leo%20Raedel&searchLimits= 157 Minnie Cox died on 30 Jan 1909, her husband William Henry Cox died aged 85 years on 31 March 1934 (1). According to the LDS website, William Henry Cox was born at Kings Lyn Norfolk England on 19 July 1849 to parents Christopher Cox (born 22 Apr 1828 St Neots, Huntingdonshire, England and died 3 Jun 1881 Gawler) and Anne Hewitt (b1829 England and died 16 Nov 1902 Rose Park SA). William Henry Cox was a painter, decorator, sign writer and glazier, and married 3 times. His first marriage was on 9 Nov 1874 in Gawler to Sarah Ann Baldwin who was b1852 and died 1875-08-15 in Gawler. On 11 Oct 1876 in North Adelaide he married Eliza (Minnie) Jury who was born 2 Jul 1853 in Adelaide and died 1909-01-30 in Gawler. With Minnie he had two children: [1] Hubert Egmont Cox [born 8 Oct 1876, died 20 Apr 1952] in Gawler; [2] Seppie Eloise Cox born 14 May 1882 in Gawler. His third marriage was on 1 Jan 1913 in South Melbourne to Annie Grant nee McConnell, who was born 13 March 1874 Ballarat and died in 1966 Adelaide. With Annie he also had two children [3] Isabel Anne Cox b1914; [4] Margaret Hewitt Cox (1916-1969). William Henry Cox died 31 March 1934 and is buried at Willaston with his second wife Minnie (2). “Eighty One Today: Mr William Cox of Gawler, is spending the day in Adelaide to celebrate the eighty-first anniversary of his birth. It is unusual for the veteran to take a "day off," for every day he is at his business in Gawler. Almost unbelievably young does he look, with his fresh complexion and bright eyes. Nor does he attribute his youth to total abstinence or non-smoking. Born at Norfolk, England, he came to South Australia when seven years of age. His present business was founded by his father, the late Mr Christopher Cox. He has a long record of municipal service, entering Gawler Council in 1883. He was elected mayor in 1891, and was returned to that office for 12 terms - a record in Gawler. His public offices were many and varied, ranging from seats on the Fire Brigades Board, Football Association, and Ancient Order of Foresters. For 21 years he was secretary of the Lodge of Fidelity in the Masonic Order, and was master. Among his services was the initiation of the movement for the Gawler cottage homes.” News (Adelaide), Saturday 19 July 1930 p8 (3). I cannot find any further birth details about Anne Hewitt b1829, but from her funeral notice, she was known as “Annie” Cox: Funeral Notices: “The Friends of the late Mrs Annie Cox are respectfully informed that her Remains will be removed from the residence of her son, Mr WH Cox, "Etonville," High-street, Gawler, on Tuesday, at 2.30 pm, for interment in the Willaston Cemetery”, The Advertiser, Tuesday 18 November 1902 p2 (4). Her Death: “Cox. On the 16th November, at her residence, Kensington Road, Rose Park, Annie, widow and relict of the late Christopher Cox of Gawler, in her 74th year. English papers please copy”, Bunyip, Friday 21 November 1902 p2 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cox_minnie_&_william_henry.jpg 2 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I28934&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/130262520?searchTerm=William%20Henry%20Cox&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/4898420?searchTerm=anne%20cox&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97590472?searchTerm=annie%20cox&searchLimits= 158 Tom A Creyghton, Alexander Creyghton and Harriet Creyghton share a memorial but there are no details of years, ages or family connections. On this same headstone are also Charles Wood and Elsie Wood, who may be related somehow (1). There is no LDS file for Alexander Creyghton but a Trove search shows: “Deaths: Creyghton. On the 10th January, at his residence, Gawler South, Alexander, beloved husband of Harriet Creyghton, aged 73 years.” The Advertiser, Thursday, 19 January, 1905 p4 (2), and hence his year of birth would be c1832, too early to be born locally. The Alexander Creyghton GenealogySA’s Marriage Index shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1878 to Harriet Wood (3). Back to Trove, we find Harriet Creyghton’s death notice: “Deaths: Creyghton. On the 11th March, at her residence, №23 Second street, Gawler South, Harriet, relict of Alexander Creyghton, aged 91 years. At rest.” The Advertiser, Saturday, 12 March 1932 p14 (4), meaning that she was born c1841. “Obituary: On Friday, March 11th, 1932, Harriet Creyghton, the grand old lady of the Church of the Transfiguration, passed to her rest at the age of 91 years, and her earthly remains
were buried in the Willaston Cemetery on Passion Sunday. Mrs Creyghton was born at Northampton, England, in 1842, and arrived in South Australia on the good ship Ocean Chief in April, 1864. The rest of her long and useful life she spent at Gawler South. She was always a true and staunch member of the Church, and in the early days attended St George's as often as a large family of little children would allow. Later she attended the Church Services held in a barn near the present site of the Church of the Transfiguration, and subsequently became one of the first members and hardest workers of that Church. ... Reprinted from the Church of England, Gawler, Parish Magazine”, Bunyip, Friday 1 April 1932 p3 (5). On the occasion of her 90th birthday, she was reported in the Bunyip, Friday 7 November 1930 p3 to have lived in Gawler since her 1864 arrival, and has been married twice (6). When the 930 tons ship Ocean Chief arrived in Port Adelaide 7th April 1864 from Plymouth [departed 4th January 1864], Harriet appears on the passenger list as Harriet Wood, a single, 24 year old servant girl and accompanied by a one year old boy called Charles Wood (7). Here it is unclear but she seems to have been married to a Charles Wood, although he wasn’t on that ship. However they are reunited in Gawler [maybe he was here first?]. He died on 11 Dec 1875 by accident at the Gawler Railway Station, Charles Wood, aged 49 years, late of Northampton, England. See the Bunyip, Friday 24 December 1875 p2 (8). “Death: Wood. On the 11th December, at the Gawler Railway Station, of heart disease, accelerated by a fall, Charles Wood, of Gawler South, aged 49 years, leaving a widow and six children to lament their loss. Northampton papers please copy”, South Australian Register, Saturday 1 January 1876 Supplement p7 (9). The Tom Creyghton Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Tom Alexander Creyghton was born in 1879 in the Port Gawler District to parents Alexander Creyghton and Harriet (fmly) Wood (nee) Wood (10), and the Tom Creyghton Death Index shows Tom Alexander Creyghton died in 1898 in the Port Gawler District, his father Alexander Creyghton was his nominated relative (11). “Death: On the 23th September, at Gawler South, South Australia, Tom Alexander, eldest son of Alexander and Harriet Creyghton, aged 19 years. Northampton and Somerset papers please copy”, The Advertiser, Tuesday 27 September 1898 p11 p8 (12). A search of SA births data at RootsWeb shows that Tom Alexander Creyghton was born on 28 Feb 1879 in Gawler to parents Alexander Creyghton and Harriet (fmly) Wood (nee) Wood (13). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/creyghton_tom_a.,_alexander_&_harriet.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5036190?searchTerm=Mrs%20Alexander%20Creyghton&searchLimits= 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3JleWdodG9u&g=QWxleGFuZGVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/46845911?searchTerm=Mrs%20Alexander%20Creyghton&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96682958?searchTerm=Harriet%20Creyghton%20&searchLimits=l-title=371 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96665447?searchTerm=Creyghton%20&searchLimits=l-title=371 7 http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/australia/oceanchief1864.shtml 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97218931?searchTerm=Charles%20Wood&searchLimits=l-title=371 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/42999372?searchTerm=Charles%20Wood%20Gawler&searchLimits=l-title=41 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3JleWdodG9u&g=VG9t&c=&y=&r=MA== 11 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q3JleWdodG9u&g=VG9t&c=&y=&r=MA== 12 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29419850?searchTerm=Tom%20Alexander%20Creyghton&searchLimits= 13 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I213814 159 Joseph Wood Creyghton died aged 76 yrs on 7 Aug 1956; his wife Edith May Creyghton died aged 88 yrs on 25 May 1968 (1), making their years of birth both c1880. Ivy Mildred Window (1912-2002) is also mentioned on this headstone, and could possibly be a married daughter. The Joseph Creyghton Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Joseph Wood Creyghton was married in 1909 in the Port Gawler District to Edith May Paternoster (2). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Joseph Creyghton was born on 20 Aug 1880 in Gawler to parents Alexander Creyghton and Harriet (fmly) Wood (nee) Wood (3), making him a brother of Tom Alexander Creyghton [Note 158]. Still on RootsWeb, Edith May Paternoster was born on 18 Jan 1880 in Gawler to parents James Paternoster and Elizabeth Barritt (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/creyghton_joseph_wood_&_edith_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3JleWdodG9u&g=Sm9zZXBo&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I213769 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I199462 160 Private MC Critchley has a military headstone, died aged 59 years on 27 April 1958 (1), making his year of birth c1899. A search of the World War Two Nominal Roll shows the Service Record Micheal[sic] Colin Critchley who stated he was born on 7 Nov 1904 in Callincton[sic] SA, and was living in Prospect SA when he enlisted on 21 Oct 1939 in the Australian Army, with Service Number SX677 matching what’s on the headstone. His next of kin was John Critchley. He was discharged on 3 Mar 1943 from 2/10 Battalion (2). His matching service number makes it definie that it is the same person, so either he was younger than 59 years when he died, or he claimed to be younger than he really was when he signed up, or the Army transcribed the year incorrectly. A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Michael Colin Critchley was born on 7 Nov 1898 in Callington SA to parents Michael Critchley and Emily Irvine (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/critchley_m.c..jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=662831 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I216758 161 John Critchley died aged 59 years on 4 May 1953, his wife Elsie Vera Critchley died aged 91 years on 12 Feb 1993; their son Brian Francis Critchley died aged 79 years on 5th Jan 2006. Other siblings were Jon and Patricia (1). John Critchley and Elsie Vera Critchley each have two memorial inscriptions (2), Elsie’s details coincide but in John’s case, I wonder whether the 4th on the older memorial has been altered to 6th? “Sudden Death of PMG Line Inspector. Mr John Critchley, PMG Line Inspector, of Gawler South, died on Monday soon after collapsing in a Murray Street store. Aged 59 years he joined the PMG staff in January, 1921, and came to Gawler as Line Foreman in March, 1936. Between 1944? and 1945 he was Line Inspector at Alice Springs, then returning to Gawler to resume office in the same capacity. Mr Critchley collapsed while in Wm Dawkins & Co's store shortly before 10 am on Monday. Taken to Hutchinson Hospital by ambulance he died about an hour and a half later. He was a veteran of the First World War. His burial took place at Willaston Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. There remain his widow, and three children John, Brian and Patricia.” The Bunyip, Friday 8 May 1953 p1 (3). If he died on the Monday before the Bunyip edition of Friday 8th of May 1953, it means he died on the Monday the 4th, not Wednesday the 6th of May 1953. The John Critchley Marriage Index shows he was married in 1924 to Elsie Vera West in the Flinders District (4). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows 12 John Critchley births, but only one with no middle name and born c1894, and this John Critchley was born on 10 Apr 1894 in Wilmington SA to parents Michael Critchley and Emily Irvine (5), and hence the older brother of MC Critchley also buried in Willaston [Note 160, where he is noted as MC’s next of kin]. Still on RootsWeb, Elsie Vera West was born 18 Oct 1901 in Colona [Head of Lucy SA] to parents Hereward Vere West and Helen Julia Sproll (6). Their son Brian Francis

Critchley did not die on the 5th day of the 021st month of 2006 as it appears on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, but rather he died on the 5th day of 01st month [January]. Back to RootsWeb, Brian Francis Critchley was born on 27 Oct 1926 in Adelaide to parents John Critchley and Elsie Vera West (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/critchley_john,_elsie_vera_&_brian_francis.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/critchley_john_&_elsie_vera.jpg 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96898747?searchTerm=John%20Critchley&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3JpdGNobGV5&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I216569 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I244444 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I480837 Fern Maureen Croawell was born 4 Dec 1958, and died 20 Aug 1985, daughter of Lois and Charlie Croawell of Timaru NZ, sister of John, Sharolyn and Jayde (1). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has her death occurring some 73 years before her birth, stating she died in 1885 (2). Searching ‘all Croawell’ entries on GenealogySA only shows one entry on their Index of South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery which says there’s a Memorial Inscription Lois & Charles Croawell (3), which is highly irregular not to have one entry for Lois and one for Charles. I rather think that this has occurred because of a misreading of the headstone, and should really say Fern Maureen instead. Apart from this, there is no other mention of Fern Maureen Croawell here, nor on the Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/croawell_fern_maureen.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q3JvYXdlbGw=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Katherine Crocker died aged 76 years on 14 Feb 1971, her husband James Crocker died aged 82 years on 28 May 1982 (1), making their years of birth c1895 and c1900 respectively. The James Crocker Marriage Index at GenealogySA does not show a marriage to a Katherine, although a James Gordon Crocker did marry a Catherine Berry in 1922 in the Frome District (2). RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that James Gordon Crocker was born 12 Jan 1900 in Pekina SA to parents John Andrew Crocker and Catherine Clancy (3). Still on RootsWeb, Catherine Berry was born on 8 Jul 1893 in Pekina SA to parents Richard Berry and Mary Tierney (4), and there is no Katherine Berry on RootsWeb. On GenealogySA, the ‘all Crocker’ Death Index shows that when Katherine Crocker died in 1971 in Gawler, her nominated relative was her husband (still alive] was James Gordon Crocker (5). The Savill Index of Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser shows one for Katherine Crocker appearing on 1971-02-15 (6). So it seems she was born and married as a Catherine, but died a Katherine. James Gordon Crocker’s Funeral Notice was on 1982-05-29, confirming that we have the right James Crocker (6). The ‘all Crocker’ Birth Index seeking offspring of James Crocker and wife nee Berry shows 3 children all born in the Frome District [1] Mary Beatrice Crocker b1923 to parents James Gordon Crocker and Catherine Berry; [2] John Rex Crocker b1924 to parents James Gordon Crocker and Catherine Berry; [3] Aileen Katherine Crocker b1928 to parents James Gordon Crocker and Katherine Berry (7). So we have Catherine becoming Katherine between the births of 2nd and 3rd child, the alternative would be James Gordon Crocker found a second wife called Katherine (also a Berry) who isn’t on the SA Births, Deaths and Marriages Register, which is most unlikely 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/crocker_katherine_&_james.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3JvY2tlcg==&g=SmFtZXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I423872 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I303675 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q3JvY2tlcg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3JvY2tlcg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== James Alexander Croft died aged 70 years on 29 Aug 1941; his wife Anna Emilie Lydia Croft died aged 90 years __ Oct 1971; their daughter Clara Lucy Ada James (nee Croft) died aged 82 years on 26 Dec 1985 (1). Unfortunately for us there is no James Alaxander Croft Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but the ‘all Croft’ Marriage Index shows that there was a marriage in 1902 between Jacob[sic] Alexander Croft and Anna Emilie Lydia Roesler in the Barossa District (2). The Anna Croft Death Index shows that when Anna Emilie Lydia Croft died in 1971 in Gawler, her nominated relative was her pre-deceased husband Alexander James Croft [not James Alexander Croft] (3). RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that James Alexander Croft was born on 28 Apr 1871 in Adelaide to parents Archer Croft and Marion Isabella Robinson (4). Whilst on the Croft surname at RootsWeb, Clara Lucy Ada Croft was born on 28 Jul 1903 in Gawler Plains (now Smithfield) to parents Alich[sic] James Croft and Anna Emily Lydia Roesler (5), and Anna Emilie Lydia Roesler was born on 16 Jul 1881 in near Lyndoch SA to parents Johann Franz Paul Roesler and Anna Henriette Lescke (6). On the Clara Croft Marriage Index, we see Clara Lucy Ada Croft was married in 1926 to Guilbert Secombe James in the Port Gawler District (7). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser shows that the one for Lydia Croft was on 7 Oct 1971, confirming at least the month of her death (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/croft_james_alexander_&_anna_emilie_lydia.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3JvZnQ=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q3JvZnQ=&g=QW5uYQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I220302 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I285903 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I211384 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3JvZnQ=&g=Q2xhcmE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html Beth Crosby died aged 15 months on 29 Sept 1907, daughter of HB and G Crosby (1), making her year of birth c1906. The ‘all Crosby’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking a Beth Crosby c1906 shows only one possibility with parents HB and G Crosby, Eleanor Elizabeth Crosby was born in 1906 to parents Henry Burgess Crosby and Gertrude Hooper in the Barossa District (2). Now a search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Eleanor Elizabeth Crosby was born on 14 Aug 1906 in Gawler to parents Henry Burgess Crosby and Gertrude Hooper (3), making her really only nearly 14 months, not 15 months, old when she died. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/crosby_beth.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3Jvc2J5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I286380
166 Isabelle May Crowther was born 3 Aug 1890 and died aged 64 years on 5 Aug 1954; Byles SS Crowther died aged 82 years on 4 Nov 1971 (1), making his year of birth c1890. We need to check whether this couple were in fact a married couple, or siblings etc. There was no Byles Crowther Marriage Index but his Death Index shows that when Byles Studded[sic] Stanyon Crowther died in Gawler in 1971, his nominated relative was his pre-deceased wife Isabelle May Crowther (2), confiming that they were indeed married. A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Byles Suddars Stanyon Crowther was born on 30 May 1890 in Eastwood SA to parents John William Crowther and Elizabeth Stanyon (3), but we know have to find out his correct second name – is it Suddars or Studded? The Byles Crowther Birth Index shows that Byles Suddars Stanyon Crowther was born in 1890 in the Norwood District to parents John William Crowther and Elizabeth Stanyon (4). There are no independent sources I haven’t tried such as the LDS website, both World War enlistments etc. What would be helpful is to find the origin of Suddars and if it appears in Byles Crowther’s family somewhere. Researching Byle’s father John William Crowther yielded no results and he probably was born elsewhere. To find Isabelle May’s maiden name, we can use the ‘all Crowther’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows the children of Byles Suddars [or Sudders] Stanyon Crowther and Isabella May Leonard [1] Gladys May Crowther b1910 in the Rose Park District; [2] Helen Maude Crowther b1912 in the Rose Park District; [3] Kenneth Byles George Crowther b1913 in the Bowden District; [4] Eileen Jessey Crowther b1914 in the Bowden District; [5] Thelma Olive Crowther b1916 in the Bowden District; [6] Gladstone Raymond Alfred Crowther b1918 in the Bowden District; [7] Leslie John Crowther b1921 in the Bowden District; [8] Reginald Charles Crowther b1923 in the Bowden District; [9] Herman Ray William Crowther b1926 in the Colonel Light Gardens West District; [10] Marjorie Ada Ivy Crowther b1924 in the Bowden District (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/crowther_isabelle_may_&_byles_s.s..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q3Jvd3RoZXI=&g=QnlsZXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I235281 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3Jvd3RoZXI=&g=QnlsZXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 167 Walter Thomas Cullen died aged 72 years on 2 April 1958; Eva Myrtle Cullen died 5 May 1984, ‘Re-United’ so maybe they were married? The Walter Cullen Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Walter Thomas Cullen was born in 1886 to parents William Cullen and Rosina Smith (2). According to the LDS website, Walter Thomas Cullen was born 14 Apr 1886 Gawler Plains, his older siblings were [1] William George Cullen born Gawler 17 Dec 1879; [2] Charles Alexander Cullen born 15 Nov 1881 Gawler Plains; [3] Rose Isabel Cullen born 25 Dec 1883 Gawler (3), and he may have had a younger brother [Allen – as per mother’s death notice below] as well. Still using LDS data, his father William Cullen was born 28 July 1860 Gawler Plains and his mother Rosina Cullen nee Smith was born in 1862 (4) and according to her death notice, she “died 20 March 1946 at her residence, 25 King street, Gawler, beloved wife of the late William Cullen, loved mother of Will, Charles, Rose (deceased), Walter and Allen, In her 84th year. The Advertiser, Thursday 21 March 1946 p12 (5). The Walter Cullen Marriage Index shows that Walter Thomas Cullen married Ada Agnes Hughes in 1928 (6). Ada Cullen died in in 1939: “Death. Cullen. On the 22nd of October, at the Adelaide Hospital, Ada Agnes, the beloved wife of Walter Thomas Cullen, of 26 Cowan street, Gawler, aged 53 years.” Chronicle, Thursday 26 October 1939 p23 (7). Therefore he must have married Eva Myrtle after Ada died in 1939. Eva Myrtle Cullen is an enigma. I haven’t found any details of a marriage between Walter Thomas and Eva Myrtle. In fact, her only mention on GenealogySA is a Memorial Inscription at Willaston stating her death in 1984 (8). Can’t find Eva’s maiden name or any other details on GenealogySA apart from the reference about Willaston Cemetery. In fact exhaustive searches in the Bunyip (up to 1954) as well as Advertiser, Chronicle etc via Trove yielded nothing when entering Walter Cullen, Eva Cullen etc. Without knowing Eva’s maiden name, am stuck. The Savill Index of The Advertiser Funeral Notices notes that Eva Myrtle Cullen [Funeral 1984-05-07] was formerly Eva Myrtle Fawcett (9). Still no results on GenealogySA, LDS, RootsWeb, Bunyip via Trove for Eva Fawcett, and it may have been her first marriage name rather than her maiden name, as they say ‘formerly’, not ‘nee’. Finally, a general Google search for Walter Thomas Cullen yields a GENi website that says he was born 14 April 1886 at Smithfield SA, and died 2 April 1958 in Gawler SA. He was the son of William and Rosina Cullen, and husband of Ada Agnes Cullen and Eva Myrtle Cullen, confirming he married twice. His siblings were William George Cullen; Charles Alexander Cullen; Rose Isabel Cullen and Allen Malcolm Cullen (10). Still on GENi, Eva Myrtle Cullen (nee Edwards) was born Abt 1886 in Melbourne Vic and died aged 98 yrs on 5 May 1984 (giving her maiden name of Edwards). She was 72 years old when she married Walter Thomas in 1958 (11). I have no access to Victorian dates of birth 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cullen_walter_thomas_&_eva_myrtle.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3VsbGVu&g=V2FsdGVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://histfam.familysearch.org/familygroup.php?familyID=F52058&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I170777&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48696832?searchTerm=William%20Cullen%20Rosina&searchLimits= 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3VsbGVu&g=V2FsdGVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92452917?searchTerm=Walter%20Cullen&searchLimits=l-title=291 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q3VsbGVu&g=RXZh&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 10 http://www.geni.com/people/Walter-Cullen/6000000018427489368 11 http://www.geni.com/people/Eva-Cullen/6000000018427485462 168 Grace B Cullen died aged 51 years on 19 April 1932, wife of William George Cullen who died aged 67 years on 14 June 1947 (1). On the LDS website, William George Cullen [see also Note 167] was born 17 Dec 1879 in Gawler. He married Grace Benetta Chenoweth on 8 April 1901 at Woolsheds SA (2). Still on the LDS website, Grace Benetta Cullen was born Grace Benetta Chenoweth 21 May 1880 at Willunga to father Charles Chenoweth [born 9 Mar 1857 Willunga] and mother Elizabeth Ann Nottle b 1859] (3). Grace Benetta Cullen’s death: “Deaths: Cullen. On the 19th April, at Gawler, Grace Bennetta, the dearly beloved wife of William George Cullen, of Willaston, and formerly of Angas street, Adelaide, aged 51 years (Result of accident).” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 28 April 1932 p35 (4). “On Tuesday evening, shortly after 7 o'clock, Mrs Grace Bennetta Cullen, 51, of Redbanks road, Willaston, received severe injuries from collision with a boy cyclist and died at 11 o'clock that night. She struck her head heavily on the ground and died without regaining consciousness.” Bunyip, Friday 22 April 1932 p3 (5). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Grace Cullen died on the 10th April 1932 (6), but as we’ve shown, she died on the 19th April 1932. Grace Benetta Cullen nee Chenoweth is also discussed along with her siblings at Note 793 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cullen_grace_b_&_william_g.jpg 2 http://histfam.familysearch.org/familygroup.php?familyID=F52058&tree=SouthAustralia 3http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I185641&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90912092?searchTerm=Cullen%20Gawler&searchLimits=l-title=291

He was born too late for WWII and thus his name is not found on the World War 2 Nominal Roll, but the Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser newspaper has one for Gerald (Gerry) Cullen on the 25th Nov 2005, just 2 days after the death of Staff Sgt G Cullen (2). Gerald Cullen does not appear on GenealogySA’s Birth Index, nor on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, maybe his c1928 birth is too recent for these websites yet, or he may not have been born in SA. The Korean War Honour roll shows that Staff Sgt Gerald Cullen was born on 22 September 1928 in Seymour Vic (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cullen_g.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 3 http://www.koreanroll.gov.au/certificate.aspx?id=1209606 Patrick Cullen died aged 73 years on 15 Sept 1940, his wife Lydia Amelia Cullen died aged 84 years on 5 Dec 1969 (1), making their years of birth c1867 and c1885 respectively. Patrick Cullen’s Death: “Cullen. On the 15th September at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Patrick Joseph, beloved husband of Lydia Cullen, and loved father of Irene and Tom and adopted son Jim. RIP“. Bunyip, Friday 20 September 1940 p3 (2). There is no Patrick Cullen on the Marriage Index at GenealogySA who married a Lydia Amelia, but on the RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people website, Patrick Cullen was born 29 Aug 1867 in Willaston to parents Thomas Cullen and Catherine Hogan (3). The ‘all Cullen’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Patrick Cullen and Lydia shows three children born to parents Patrick Joseph Cullen and Lydia Mary[sic] Traeger in the Barossa District [1] Thomas Joseph Cullen b1906; [2] Arthur John Cullen b1907; [3] Irine Mavis Cullen b1908 (4). The Arthur Cullen Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Arthur John Cullen died in 1907 with his nominated relative his father Patrick Cullen (5), leaving just Tom and Irene, as it says in Patrick’s death notice. Searching Lydia Traeger at RootsWeb WorldConnect reveals that Lydia Amalia Traeger was born on 29 Oct 1885 in Rosenthal SA to parents Carl Wilhelm Traeger and Emilie Braun (6). I suspect that the variations in her name have been attempts to anglicise her German heritage 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cullen_patrick_&_lydia_amelia.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96699746?searchTerm=Patrick%20Cullen&searchLimits=l-title=371 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I239892 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3VsbGVu&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q3VsbGVu&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I161478 Patrick Cullen died aged 63 years in Jan 1920, his wife was Mary Cullen, and he was an employee of the SA Railways (1). “In Memoriam. Cullen. Of your charity pray for the repose of the soul of Patrick Cullen who died on January 15th, 1920. Requiscat in pace. Inserted by his sorrowing wife and family, Gawler West.” Bunyip, Friday 14 January 1921 p2 (2), showing his death on 15 Jan 1920, and making his year of birth c1857. The RootsWeb search for Patrick Cullen born c1857 was not successful, possibly he was not born in SA. “Obituary. The late Mr Patrick Cullen, of Gawler West, was born at Dunberan, County Tyrone, and came to South Australia at the age ot 21. For over 40 years he was in the railway service, and was one of the first traffic officers in charge of the Penola office. For 15 yeare he had been in the engineering department with the district foreman's staff at Gawler. Mr Cullen was highly esteemed. He had been 14 years secretary of St Peter and St Paul's Roman Catholic Church, Gawler, and he did much for the church under three successive parish priests. For twelve years Mr Cullen was secretary of St Vincent de Paul's Society. He was the second secretary to take office in the Gawler branch. He was also a member of the Hibernian Society, and took a prominent part in Irish and Home Rule movements. Of a genial and kindly disposession, ever ready to give practical help to all genuine causes of a charitable or social nature, Mr Cullen will be much missed. He married Mary, only daughter of Mrs McNamara, of Gawler. The family are Messrs John and Thomas Cullen, of the South Australian railways; Mrs A McKenzie, of Mindarie; Mrs AH Mortimer, of St Peters and late of AIF; Sister ME Cullen, on active service abroad; Miss MM Cullen, of the Education Department; Nurse AB Cullen and Miss T Cullen, of Gawler West.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 31 January 1920 p12 (3). As he was born in Ireland, I can’t find out his actual date of birth 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cullen_patrick.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97751505?searchTerm=Patrick%20Cullen&searchLimits=l-title=371 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87446060?searchTerm=Patrick%20Cullen%20Obituary&searchLimits= Walter McFeat Cullen died aged 50 years on 4 Jan 1907; his mother Isabella Sell died aged 72 years on 21 March 1896 (1), making their years of birth c1857 and c1824 respectively. When Isabella Sell died in the Port Gawler District in 1896, her nominated relative was her pre-deceased husband John Sell (2). “Deaths: Cullen: On the 4th January, at his residence, Gawler Plains, Walter McFeat Cullen, aged 50 years.” The Register (Adelaide), Wednesday 9 January 1907 p5 (3). This interesting 1873 advertisement links the names Cullen, McFeat and Sell, the 3 names relating to Walter McFeat Cullen and his mother Isabella Sell: “Lost, near Gottlieb's Wells, One Bay Saddle Mare, branded FK near shoulder, star in forehead; hobbles on when lost; and one Draught Light Bay Mare, branded B near shoulder, white stripe down face. Thirty Shillings per head reward will be given on being delivered to Daniel Cullen, near Gottlieb's Wells; John Sell, Gawler Plains; William McFeat, Steelton, or 10s per head for information as will lead to their recovery.” Bunyip, Saturday 15 March 1873 p2 (4), inspiring me to work out all the connections. The John Sell Marriage Index shows that he was married in 1866 to Isabella Cullen in the Barossa District (5), when Walter McFeat Cullen was 9 years old. The ‘all Cullen’ Birth Index for mothers called Isabel shows that Alexander Cullen b1858 (parents Alexander Cullen and Isabela[sic] McFeat) and William Cullen b1860 (parents Alexander Cullen and Isabella McFeat) both in the Port Gawler District (6). Alexander and William were Walter Cullen’s younger brothers, so maybe Walter was just not officially registered. His mother was Mrs Isabell Sell, formerly Cullen nee McFeat, and hence as first born son, he was given her maiden name as his middle name. But it hasn’t helped find his actual date of birth. And to prove all that, the LDS website tells us that Isabella McFeat was born in 1824. She was married before 1851 to Alexander Cullen who was born c1823, and died 8 Aug 1860 Tam O'Shanter Belt SA. Their children were [1] Rose Isabella Cullen b1851; [2] Walter McFeat Cullen b1856, died 4 Jan 1907 Gawler Plains; [3] Alexander Cullen born 11 Apr 1858 Gawler Plains, died 26 May 1885 Steelton SA; [4] William Cullen born 28 Jul 1860 Gawler Plains. Isabella Cullen nee McFeat was then married on 1 Mar 1866 in Gawler to John Sell b1822 (7). Further family information comes also from the LDS website: [1] Rose Isabella Cullen was married on 25 Dec 1875 at Angle Vale to Henry Halliday. [2] It seems that Walter McFeat Cullen did not marry. [3] Alexander Cullen was married on 19 Jun 1884 at Carlsruhe SA to Anna Louise Elizabeth Schoff but he died on 26 May 1885 before their first wedding anniversary. [4] William Cullen was married on 16 Oct 1879 in Gawler to Rosina Smith (8). Even LDS cannot tell us Walter McFeat Cullen’s date of birth, just that he was born in 1856 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cullen_walter_mcfeat.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=U2VsbA==&g=SXNhYmVsbGE=&c=&y=&r=MA==

Using the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Frederick Arthur Curnow was born on 31 Mar 1904 in Gawler to parents George William Curnow and Nellie Maria Knibbs (2). The ‘all Curnow’ Marriage Index shows that in 1932 Frederich[sic] Arthur Curnow married Clarice Victoria Tennant in the Port Adelaide District (3). Back to RootsWeb, Clarice Victoria Tennant does not appear, nor is she on GenealogySA other than her Marriage Index. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/curnow_frederick_arthur_&_clarice_victoria.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I288202 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3Vybm93&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Ronald FH Cummins was born 11 March 1926 and died 16 Apr 2008, widower of Jean, partner of Patricia, father of Lynda and Christine (1); Jean Cummins was born 14 Sept 1926 and died 9 May 1994, wife of Ron, mother of Lynda and Christine (2). Searching Ronald Cummins on GenealogySA’s Index of Newspaper Death Notices shows that in 2008, the Advertiser had a Death Notice for Ronald Frederick Hunter Cummins (3). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices in the Advertiser confirms one for Ronald Frederick Hunter (Ron) Cummins on 19 April 2008 (4). Despite searching for Jean Cummins maiden name, it remains elusive 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cummins_ronald_f.h..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cummins_jean.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Q3VtbWlucw==&g=Um9uYWxk&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html Oswald Cundy (1886-1943); his wife May Cundy died 9 Oct 1963 (1). Oswald Cundy married May Nicholls in 1912 in the Barossa District (2). The LDS website says Oswald Cundy was born on 14 May 1886 Williamstown. His father was Edwin Cundy [b1851, died 17 Feb 1896 Williamstown] and his mother was Ellen Tobitt [born 15 Jul 1856 Nuriootpa], his parents marrying 26 March 1878 in Gawler. Oswald Cundy married May Nicholls [born 12 July 1884 Goose Island] on 3 April 1912 in the Gawler Methodist church (3). Excerpts from Oswald Cundy’s Obituary: “District people were appalled at the sudden demise of Mr Oswald Cundy which took place at his residence, Jacob Street, on January 30th. .... Mr Cundy, who was 56 years of age, spent all his life in the district, Williamstown being pioneered by a big family of the Cundy name. ... He married Miss May Nicholls and the family issue is three sons — Graham, Maurice and John, two of the three — John being a school boy — serving with the forces. ... The service was conducted by Rev Milton Tresise who at the graveside spoke of the sterling qualities of the deceased.” Bunyip, Friday 5 February 1943 p3 (4). Mary Margaret Cundy was born 16 Dec 1923 and died 1 Aug 2005, wife of Maurice James Norman Cundy, mother of Susan, James and Simon (5). The Maurice Cundy Birth Index shows Maurice James Norman Cundy was born in 1921 to parents Oswald Cundy and Mary[sic] Nicholls in the Barossa District (6), making Mary Margaret the daughter-in-law of the abovementioned May and Oswald Cundy. To find Mary’s maiden name, we turn to searching on Trove, and find: “Engagements: Mary, daughter of Mr and Mrs LW George, of Gawler, formerly of Wasleys, to Maurice, son of Mrs O Cundy, of Glenelg, and the late Mr Cundy.” The Advertiser, Tuesday 25 May 1948 p5 (7). If my gleaned information is correct, a search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people should show that Mary Margaret George’s date of birth corresponds to the one on the headstone. RootsWeb says Mary Margaret George was born on 16 Dec 1923 in Gawler to parents Leslie William George and Ivy Jubilee Mortimer (8). An exact match to her birth date on the headstone 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cundy_oswald_&_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3VuZHk=&g=T3N3YWxk&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I26748&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96866170?searchTerm=Oswald%20Cundy&searchLimits= 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cundy_mary_margaret.jpg 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3VuZHk=&g=TWF1cmljZQ==&c=&y=&r=MA==8c 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43768174?searchTerm=Maurice%20Cundy%20Mary%20Margaret&searchLimits= 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I513765 Benjamin Guy Cunningham was born 7 Sept 1987 and died 3 days later on 10 Sept 1987, the “darling little son of John & Heike” (1). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he was actually born in 1887 (2), making him 100 years old when he died! This need correction 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cunningham_benjamin_guy.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm John Leonard Curnow died aged 56 on 18 Jan 1974; his wife Mavis Mary Curnow died on 1 May 2007, parents of ?Allen, Delma and Ma--? (1), unfortunately there are move-able flowers over parts of the names of the children, and more importantly over Mavis Mary’s age. The John Curnow Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that John Leonard Curnow was born in 1917 to parents John Wilfred Curnow and Elizabeth Jane Darling Turner in the Barossa District (2). On the Gawler Now and Then website, John (Jack) Leonard Curnow was born 1917 in Gawler, and died in Gawler in 1974. Jack Curnow married Mavis Roberts of Mallala in 1940 and they lived in Mallala until 1948 (3). Turning to the RootsWeb WorldConnect website for South Australian people, John Leonard Curnow was born on 21 Sep 1917 in Gawler to parents John Wilfred Curnow and Elizabeth Jane Darling Turner (4). Still on RootsWeb, Mavis Mary Roberts was born on 19 Mar 1918 in Paradise SA to parents Austin George Roberts and Lily Hilda Dart (5). The ‘all Curnow’ Birth Index seeking offspring of John Wilfred Curnow and Elizabeth Jane Darling Turner shows three children [1] John Leonard Curnow b1917 in the Barossa District; [2]Henry Bruce Curnow b1919 in the Gilbert District; [3] Rosalie Jean Curnow b1922 in the Barossa District (6). Malcolm Henry Curnow died aged 2 days on 26 Dec 1950 (7), and not aged 23 days as it says on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (8). Malcolm Curnow Death Index shows that when Malcolm Henry Curnow died in 1950 in Gawler, his nominated relative was his father Henry Bruce CURNOW (9), which makes Malcolm Henry Curnow the nephew of John (Jack) Leonard Curnow discussed above. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/curnow_john_leonard_&_mavis_mary.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?Option=Com_Search&Ref=Search&Id=1&S=Q3vybm93&G=Sm9obg==&C=&Y=&R=Ma== 3 http://gawler.nowandthen.net.au/index.php?title=Curnow_Family

The Victor Currie Birth Index at GeneaologySA shows that Victor Charles Henderson Currie was born in 1900 to parents Charles Currie and Elizabeth Patterson in the Barossa District (2). There is no Victor Currie Marriage Index, but were they married or just kin? The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices shows one for Vera Eliza Currie on 27 Dec 1978 (3), but they didn’t disclose her maiden name, so maybe she was an unmarried Currie sibling, not Victor’s wife. Victor’s mother Elizabeth’s Obituary: “The late Mrs Elizabeth Currie, of Pinkerton Plains, (near Wasleys), passed away recently in her 82nd year, after a very brief illness. At the time of her passing she was the oldest resident, having been born in and spent her whole life in the locality. Her home after her marriage to the late Charles Currie in October 1898 was in close proximity to the place of her birth. She was the youngest daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Joseph Patterson, and the last surviving member of a family of seven sons and four daughters. Descendants of this family are now in all parts of Australia. Her parents moved from Whitelaw Gully near Gawler to become one of the first settlers in the Pinkerton district over 90 years ago. ........ Of her family of nine children, four sons and one daughter survive. They are Messrs Victor, Clifford, Roy and Miss Vera Currie (of Wasleys), and John (of Ayr, North Queensland). There are six grand daughters and one grandson.” Bunyip, Friday 30 March 1951 p3 (4). Victor’s father Charles’ Obituary: “Mr Charles Currie, 84, of Pinkerton Plains, near Wasleys who died recently after a brief illness, was one of the oldest pioneers of the district. Born in County Cavan, Ireland, on January 6, 1863, with his parents and seven members of the family he sailed on the Benclue for Australia on July 1, 1876, arriving at Port Adelaide on September 22 the same year. His parents were first employed on the Butler Estate, near Mallala, for three years, after which they moved to Pinkerton plains. Before his marriage,.... Mr Currie leased portion of the Forrest sheep run, which he broke up and subsequently purchased. On retirement he passed the farm 'Bonnie View' to two of his sons. He retained an interest in the farm workshop. ....... His youngest sister, Mary, lives at Wasleys.... .” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 10 April 1947 p37 (5). Victor’s death: “Currie. On July 24 (suddenly) at his late residence, 'Bonnie View,' Wasleys, Victor, eldest son of the late Charles and Elizabeth Currie and loved brother of Vera, Cliff, Jack and Roy, aged 52 years.” The Advertiser, Friday 25 July 1952 p18 (6), with no mention of a wife or children. A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Clifford Rolston Currie was born on 16 Sep 1905 in Pinkerton Plains to parents Charles Currie and Elizabeth Patterson (7). Roy Percy Currie was born on 30 May 1909 in Pinkerton Plains to the same parents Charles and Elizabeth (8). Vera Eliza Currie was a sister to Victor, Clifford and Roy and RootsWeb confirms her birth on 28 Oct 1902 in Pinkerton Plains to parents Charles Currie and Elizabeth Patterson (9). Charles Currie was born 5 Sept 1863 and died 31 Jan 1947; his wife Elizabeth was born Aug 1869 (partially obscured by some old floral tribute) and died 24 Jan 1951 (10). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says she was born in 1863 (11), but it looks more like 1869 to me. This would be in keeping with her 1951 obituary above where it says Mrs Elizabeth Currie died in her 82nd year, after a very brief illness (4), which means she was 81 years old, and this means her approximate year of birth would be c1870. Her year of birth on the headstone should read 1869 rather than 1863. This is in keeping with her Friday 30 March 1951 Bunyip p3 obituary as noted (4). I cannot find an actual date of birth through my searches, but it may be worth re-examining the headstone. In fact a cursory search at Ancestory.com shows the Currie Charles & Elizabeth Headstone and it says Elizabeth Patterson (1869-1951) (12). There is a 7-volume resource in Gawler called “Gawler: An Annotated Bibliography of Historical, Technical and Scientific Sources in Seven Volumes”, compiled by Phillip V Thomas MA, Department of History, University of Adelaide for The Corporation of the Town of Gawler. In Volume Two, Colonial to Modern Gawler, 1997 p46, wchich describes a book “Recollections of Joseph & Ann Patterson's Family” by Roy P Currie (1983), published by the Bunyip Press in Gawler [this no doubt is the Roy Percy Currie b1909 mentioned above. In his book, available in Gawler Public Library (Ref LH/929.2/PATT), Roy Currie describes the family of Joseph and Ann (or Agneys) Patterson, who arrived at Port Adelaide on 20 June, 1849 on the "Florentia", from County Amargh in Ireland. On page 63 he notes the children of Elizabeth Patterson (b1869-d1951) and husband Charles Currie at Gawler (13). So I cannot find an actual date of birth through my searches, but it would be worth reading the actual headstone. Regarding Mary Ann Currie born c1865, her name is not amongst the RootsWeb collection of SA Currie births 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/currie_victor_c.h._&_vera_e.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3Vycmll&g=VmljdG9y&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96859057?searchTerm=Vera%20Victor%20Currie&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93347614?searchTerm=victor%20currie%20Wasleys&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47401832?searchTerm=Victor%20Currie%20Wasleys&searchLimits= 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I288391 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I482686 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I288513 10 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/currie_charles_&_elizabeth.jpg 11 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 12 http://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gl=ROOT_CATEGORY&=%2C&gsfn=Elizabeth&gsln=Patterson&gss=angs-d 13 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/Gawler%20Bib%20Vol%202.pdf 179 Alina Curtis died aged 86 years on 7 Aug 1957, with no other details given (1), making her year of birth c1871. The Alina Curtis Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when she died in 1957 in Gawler, the nominated relative was her pre-deceased husband John Joseph Curtis (2).There are few records of Alina Curtis. On the GenealogySA Alina Curtis Birth Index, there is not Alina, but an Alina Imilda Curtis who was born in 1906 to parents John Joseph Curtis and Alina Holmstrom in the Kapunda District (3). On RootsWeb there is a Kathleen Curtis Holstrom[sic] who was born on 11 Jan 1893 in Adelaide to an unrecorded father with mother Alina Holstrom (4), Kathleen’s middle name may be significant, and suggests who her father might have been. But as to Alina Curtis’s actual date of birth, and from where she came (possibly Scandinavian background), there is no info I’ve found 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/curtis_alina.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q3VydGlz&g=QWxpbmE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3VydGlz&g=QWxpbmE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I33033
180 Thomas William Curtis died aged 81 years on 4 Feb 1934; Annie Elizabeth Curtis died aged 75 years on 24 July 1936; their daughter Annie Marie Curtis died aged 64 years on 4 Oct 1947 (1). I have had to rely [especially with the details of Thomas William Curtis] on the information given on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), as the writing on the headstone is not clear, even after enlarging the photo. However it is clear enough to see that the Anne Elizabeth Curtis mentioned on the “C” data page is actually Annie Elizabeth Curtis on the headstone. The Thomas Curtis Marriage Index at GeneaolgySA shows that in 1882 Thomas William Curtis was married in Adelaide to Annie Trenowden (3). According to the data on the LDS Website, Thomas William Curtis was born on 30 Sep 1852 in the Lyndoch Valley SA and died 4 Feb 1934 SA. His parents were William Curtis (born 4 Sep 1814 Westminster, Middlesex, England, died 16 Aug 1884 Gawler) and Eliza Mary Adams (born 31 Aug 1822 Kent, England, died 5 Apr 1892 Gawler), who had married on 6 May 1848 in Gawler. Thomas William Curtis was a farmer who lived in Smithfield SA and was married in Adelaide on 25 Sep 1882 to Annie Elizabeth Trenowden, who was born in 1861, and died 24 July 1936. Their children were [1] Annie Mary Curtis born 13 Jul 1883 Gilbert Rd SA, died 1947); [2] Thomas William Curtis born 14 Mar 1885 Lyndoch, died 1945 SA; [3] Helen Jane Curtis born 31 Jul 1886 Lyndoch; [4] Arthur Curtis born 24 May 1888 nr Lyndoch, died 1952 SA; [5] George Henry Curtis born 20 Mar 1890 Lyndoch, died 1956 SA; [6] Daisy Rose Curtis (twin) born 23 Jan 1892 Lyndoch, died 1973; [7] Violet Eliza Curtis (twin) born 23 Jan 1892 Lyndoch, died 1967; [8] Elsie May Curtis born 8 Feb 1894 Lyndoch, died 1963; [9] John Sydney Curtis (twin) born 14 Jul 1899 Smithfield, died 1965 SA; [10] Robert Mayne Curtis (twin) born 14 Jul 1899 Smithfield; [11] Alfred Gordon Curtis born 9 Jul 1904 Smithfield, died 1980 (4). On their headstone, Violet Eliza Curtis was born Jan 1892 and died aged 75 years in Oct 1967; her sister Daisy Rose Curtis was born Jan 1892 and died aged 81 years in Oct 1973, (twin) daughters of Annie and Thomas Curtis (5). Daisy Rose Curtis and Violet Eliza Curtis both became the Principal of Women Police in SA, Daisy for the years 1940-1951 and Violet followed for 1951-1952 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/cd/curtis_thomas_william_,_anne_elizabeth_&_annie_marie.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3VydGlz&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I170244&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/curtis_violet_eliza_&_daisy_rose.jpg 6 http://www.sapolicehistory.org/women.html 181 Ellen Cushion died aged 70 years on 10 March 1878; her husband John Cushion formerly of Thurles, Ireland died aged 82 years on 10 Oct 1876 (1), making their years of birth c1814 and c1808 respectively. I note that the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery states that John Cushion died in 1976, clearly a mistake (2). This is confirmed by the search on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery that says John Cushion died 1876 aged 62 (3). The John Cushion Marriage Index shows that he was married in 1859 to Ellen Shortal in the Barossa District (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cushion_ellen_&_john.jpg 2http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q3VzaGlvbg==&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3VzaGlvbg==&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 182 Our only information from the headstone is “DV 1855 Headstone moved from Pioneer Park” (1). I cannot read anything from this photo but the Gawler Old Cemetery Information site (2) contains a pdf file listing all names in the old Pioneer Park Cemetery. For 1855, there is one name: Staff, David Victor aged 41 (3). Whether it is the remains of David Victor Staff, or of a staff member David Victor, it is hard to ascertain. My preference would be for a David Victor Staff, as i’m not sure that employees were called ‘staff’ in the mid1850’s. Searching both for David Victor and David Victor Staff in the old Bunyip newspapers yielded nothing, as did searching the South Australian Register that started in 1839 in Adelaide, and even a general Google search 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/d._v._1855.jpg 2 http://headstones.weebly.com/gawler-old-pioneer-park.html 3 http://headstones.weebly.com/uploads/9/5/2/0/952055/gawler_old_cemetery_name_index.pdf 183 Daniel John Dal Santo was born 10 Aug 1983 and died 28 Oct 1983, son of Nadir and Helen, brother of Christine (1). The dates mean he was only 10 weeks old when he died. I’m not sure why the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery does not record his date of birth (2), but what else could that first date mean? To be sure, we must confirm that Daniel John Dal Santo was born in 1983 as the implication on the headstone says. The search for Daniel Dal Santo at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Birth Notices shows that Daniel John Dal Santo birth was announced in the Advertiser in 1983 with parents Nadir & Helen whose surnames were Dal Santo and Nickoley (3). It’s all too recent for using most of my available resources to find out any more detail 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dal_santo_daniel_john.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=4&s=RGFsIFNhbnRv&g=RGFuaWVs&c=&y=&r=MA== 184 Caroline Louisa Dalby died (drowned in the Para Para River) aged 9 yrs and 6 mths on 2 Dec 1880; her mother Carry Louisa Dalby died aged 61 years (in her 62nd year) on 19 Jan 1896; her father George Octavius Dalby died aged 80 years on 7 Dec 1915 (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Caroline Louisa Dalby died in 188, but it really should be 1880. Caroline Louisa dies in 1880: “Drowned in the Para. An inquest was held by Mr G Warren JP at the Criterion Hotel, Gawler on Friday, December 3, to ascertain the circumstances attending the death of Caroline Louisa Dalby, which occurred on the previous day.....” The South Australian Advertiser, Saturday 4 December 1880 p3 (3). George Octavius Dalby was born 31 Jan 1833 London, Middlesex, England to parents Octavius and Hannah Dalby and he died 7 Dec 1915 Gawler. He arrived in SA c1855 from England, and was a sailmaker and a railway employee, having lived in Mt Gambier, Wallaroo Bay and Gawler. George Octavius Dalby was married three times, firstly on 24 Dec 1858 in Adelaide to Caroline Louisa Dawes, who was born 7 Mar 1836 London, Middlesex, England (her father was John Dawes), arrived in SA c1853, and she died 19 Jan 1896 Glenelg SA (so she was really 59 years old and not in her 62nd year). George and Caroline had 11 children [1] Samuel Octavius Dalby born 27 Nov 1859 Adelaide, died 7 April 1860; [2] Hannah Dobson Milsom nee Dalby born 25 Jan 1862 Wallaroo Bay SA; [3] Amy Elizabeth Harris nee Dalby born 13 Jan 1864 Wallaroo, died 6 May 1959 Trinity Gardens SA; [4] George Octavius Dalby born 7 Jan 1866 Wallaroo Bay; [5] Starling Samuel Dalby born 20 Nov 1867 Wallaroo, died 27 Nov 1898 Adelaide; [6] Harriet Rebecca Hodge formerly Perry nee Dalby born 5 Jul 1869 Gawler; [7] Caroline Louisa Dalby born 12 Jul 1871 Gawler, died 2 Dec 1880; [8] Willie William Dalby born 20 Apr 1873 Gawler, died 22 Feb 1954; [9] Herbert Crowson Dalby born 3 Apr 1875 Gawler, died 24 Jul 1951; [10] Ruth Maud Rigg nee Dalby born 31 Mar 1878 Gawler; [11] Frank Albert Dalby born 10 Jun 1879 Gawler, died 29 Jan 1901. George Octavius Dalby then was married on 19 Feb 1897 in Hindmarsh to Harriet Elizabeth Kelly b1851. His third marriage was on 28 May 1900 in North Adelaide to Cecilia White b1865 USA (4).

Joseph Dangerfield was 83 years old when he died a month before his 84th birthday. According to the information at the LDS website, Joseph Dangerfield was born 11 Feb 1855 SA to parents Joseph Dangerfield (born c1819, died 15 Oct 1904 Wallaroo) and Sarah Elliott (born c1833), who had married 27 Jun 1850 in SA. Joseph Dangerfield was married on 7 Feb 1877 in Clare SA to Margaret Thoday who was born in 1856. Their children included [1] William Charles Dangerfield born 5 Nov 1877 SA; [2] Alice Maud Dangerfield born 2 Aug 1879 Yacka SA; [3] Joseph Henry Dangerfield born 10 Apr 1881 Angle Grove SA; [4] Elizabeth Lillian Dangerfield born 19 Jan 1883 Ninnes SA; [5] Elijah Dangerfield born 15 Feb 1885 Ninnes, died 23 Oct 1906 Malvern SA; [6] Martha Dangerfield born 2 Feb 1887 Port Broughton SA, died 2 Sep 1887 Port Broughton; [7] Mary Dangerfield born 2 Feb 1887 Port Broughton, died 23 Apr 1887 Wokurna SA; [8] Edward Howard Dangerfield born 29 Sep 1889 Port Broughton (3). Still on the LDS website, further information on the family of Joseph Dangerfield and Margaret Thoday is that [1] William Charles Dangerfield who was born 5 Nov 1877 was married before 1910 to Esther Maud Cooper; [2] Alice Maud Dangerfield who was born 2 Aug 1879 was married 20 May 1914 at Wallaroo to Richard Pryor Williams; [3] Joseph Henry Dangerfield who was born 10 Apr 1881 was married 5 Oct 1910 Caltowie SA to Emma Amelia Laube; [4] Elizabeth Lillian Dangerfield was born 19 Jan 1883; [5] Elijah Dangerfield was born 15 Feb 1885; [6] Martha Dangerfield was born 2 Feb 1887; [7] Mary Dangerfield was born 2 Feb 1887; [8] Edward Howard Dangerfield who was born 29 Sep 1889 was married 14 Mar 1913 at Brighton SA to Charlotte Maude Offler (4). Again on the LDS website, Emma Amelia Laube was born 11 Apr 1884 at Mannanarie SA to parents Johann Friedrich Laube (born 15 Oct 1845 Lippen, Germany) and Wilhelmina Pauline Zucht (b1848), who had married 28 Feb 1870 in Gnadenberg SA). Joseph Henry Dangerfield and Emma Amelia Laube had at least 5 children all described on the LDS site as “Living” (5). Finally, to verify that Joseph Dangerfield died in 1939, not 1959, we can turn to the Town of Gawler website where it details burials at Willaston Cemetery, Joseph Dangerfield, last resided Gawler was 83 years old when he was buried on 8 Jan 1939 in Willaston Cemetery’s Plot/Grave/Niche 20 J 2 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dangerfield_joseph.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I169586&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F51664&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I117426&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33447&print=1 186 Elsie Daniel died aged 73 years on 12 Aug 1984; wife of Clem Daniel who died 88 years on 15 May 1997, parents of Audrey, Kevin, John and Bill (1), so their years of birth are calculated to be c1911 and c 1909 respectively. The Clem Daniel Marriage Index shows that Clement Torrington Daniel was married in 1930 to Elsie May Nelson in Adelaide (2). Bertram Thomas Daniel was born 25 May 1902 and died 21 June 1999 (3); husband of Madge Agnes Daniel who was born 12 Sept 1906 and died on 13 July 1993 (4), which makes their ages at death 97 years and 86 years respectively. They were the parents of Shirley and Lynette (4). GenealogySA has now record of the marriage of Bertram Thomas Daniel and Madge Agnes, so we must look elsewhere for her maiden name. Searching old newspapers using Trove: “Daniel — Smart. In the Bowmans Methodist Church, Bertram Thomas, second son of Mr and Mrs CE Daniel, and Madge Agnes, only daughter of the late Mr and Mrs FC Smart, all of Bowmans, were married by the Rev CR Dadds, of Port Wakefield. The bride, who was given away by her eldest brother (Mr AF Smart) wore .. ....” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 14 April 1938 p62 (5). The Bertram Daniel Birth Index shows that Bertram Thomas Daniel was born in 1902 to parents Charles Edwin Daniel and Margaret Emily Williams in the Gilbert District (6). To ascertain whether Bertram Thomas and Clem were related, the ‘all Daniel’ Birth Index seeking the offspring of Charles Edwin Daniel and Margaret Emily (or Emily Margaret) Williams shows a total of 9 children, all born in the Gilbert District: [1] Ella Victoria May Daniel b1897; [2] Charles Hilton Daniel b1898; [3] Linda Pretoria Mary Daniel b1900; [4] Bertram Thomas Daniel b1902; [5] Blanche Emily Daniel b1904; [6] Clement Torrington Daniel b1909; [7] Reginald Preston Daniel b1911; [8] Gordon Henry Daniel b1913; [9] Keith Edwin Daniel b1916 (7). This confirms that Clem Daniel and Bertram Thomas Daniel were brothers. A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Clement Torrington Daniel was born on 8 Jan 1909 in Bowmans SA to parents Charles Edwin Daniel and Emily Margaret Williams (8). Still using RootsWeb, Elsie May Nelson was born on 21 Aug 1911 in Summertown SA to parents William Nelson and Emily Jane Dockett (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/daniel_elsie_&_clem.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RGFuaWVs&g=Q2xlbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/daniel_bertram_thomas.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/daniel_madge_agnes.jpg 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92498998?searchTerm=Bertram%20Daniel%20Madge%20Agnes&searchLimits= 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RGFuaWVs&g=QmVydHJhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RGFuaWVs&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I483993 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I607379 187 Elizabeth Josephine Dann died aged 69 years on 18 Sep 1946; wife of David Dann who died aged 87 years on 5 April 1961, parents of Norah, Elizabeth, Norman, Jerome, Bernard and Kathleen (1). Their years of birth are calculated to be c 1877 and c1874 respectively. The David Dann Marriage Index shows he was married in 1905 to Elizabeth Josephine Quinn in the Barossa District (2). Elizabeth’s Date of Death: “Dann. On September 18, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Elizabeth Josephine, beloved wife of David Dann, of Gawler Blocks, loved mother of Norah, Bessie, Norman, Veronica, Bernard, Kathleen, and loved gran of little John, aged 70 years. Requiescat in pace. Late of Terowie.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 26 September 1946 p18 (3). Maybe she was in her 70th year, or will have to revise her year of birth to c1876. Despite her Memorial Inscription saying that Elizabeth Josephine Dann was 69 years old when she died, the Gawler Council Burial Register says she was actually 70 years old, her last residence was in Gawlerand she was buried on 19/09/1946 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 45 N 3, with Father O'Sullivan officiating (4). A search on the internet for David Dann shows a TribalPages entry for him. David Dann was born 08 Feb 1874 in Yarcowie SA (McVitties Flat), and died 06 Apr 1961 in North Adelaide. On the same webpage, Elizabeth Quinn was born 01 Mar 1877 in Burra SA, and died 18 Sept 1946 in Gawler (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dann_elizabeth_josephine_&_david.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RGFubg==&g=RGF2aWQ=&c=&y=&r=MA==

They were parents of Graham, Margaret and Beverley (1). Without his correct first name and their middle names not being given [if they had them], it is very hard to track this couple, especially as it is quite recent for genealogy sites. The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser shows one for Evelyn Alice Davies on the 13 November 1997, the timing of which fits the Evelyn Davies buried at Willaston, and and the only October 1883 Davies Funeral Notice is for Herbert Reginald (Bob) Davies on 20 Oct 1983 (2). We at least now have their proper names, and can search for Evelyn’s maiden name. Their marriage would be too recent for GenealogySA, so we must rely on searching old press notices via Trove. This birth notice should help us: “Davies (nee Daly). On Feb 23, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Evelyn and Bob — a son. Thanking Dr Rice and nursing staff”, Chronicle (Adelaide) Thursday 1 March 1945 p14 (3). Was it Evelyn Alice Daly? If so, it must have been Graham Davies who was born in March 1949. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Herbert Reginald Davies was born on 11 Jul 1919 in Gawler to parents John Lavington Davies and Emily Edith Martin [see Note 197] (4), and Evelyn Alice Daly was born on 5 Mar 1915 in Prospect, Adelaide to parents Joseph DALY and Cecelia Annie Dowd (5). This means that if this detective work is accurate, Evelyn Davies was in her 83rd year, not 85 yrs old nor even in her 85th year when she died 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davies_bob_&_evelyn.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92812811?searchTerm=Davies%20Herbert%20Evelyn&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I485459 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I483816 189 Alexander Joel Davis died aged 76 yrs on 5 Jul 1940 (1). On another face of the same monument, Agnes Davis, wife of AJ Davis, died aged 54 yrs on 6 March 1925; their children Mona Davis died aged 14 yrs on 18 April 1913; and Alec Davis died aged 7 yrs on 21 Dec 1918 (2). The Alexander Joel Davis Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1906 he was married to Agnes Jane Dunn in the Nairne District (3). The ‘all Davis’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Alexander Joel Davis firstly shows that he was born in the Riverton District in 1864 to parents William Davis and Mary Ann Badman. Alexander Joel Davis clearly married twice, as he had at least 5 children with Elizabeth Mary Dunn, all born in the Riverton District [1] Stanley Charles Welliam Davis b1888; [2] Annie Kathleen Davis b1892 (with father’s name spelt as Alexander Joy[sic] Davis); [3] Elsie Jessie Davis b1893; [4] Ethel Marian Davis b1896; [5] Agnes Mona Davis b1899. Alexander Joel Davis then had two more children with Agnes Jane Dunn [6] Elizabeth Katie Davis b1908 in the Riverton District; [7] Alec Alfred Davis b1911 in the Wards Belt District (4). The Elizabeth Mary Davis Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Elizabeth Mary Davis nee Dunn had died in the Gilbert District in 1903 with the nominated relative her still living husband Alexander Joel Davis (5). It is interesting that both of his wives were surnamed Dunn, and may have been sisters or cousins. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Agnes Jane Dunn was born on 14 May 1871 in Charleston SA to parents Charles Dunn and Eliza Dunn (6) and Elizabeth Mary Dunn was born on 11 Apr 1867 at Mount Charles, Charleston to the same parents Charles Dunn and Eliza Dunn, showing that agnes Jane was Elizabeth Mary’s younger sister. It is also interesting that both parents had the surname Dunn, and maybe they were cousins. Still on RootsWeb, Alexander Joel Davis was born on 5 Mar 1864 in Riverton SA to parents William Davis and Mary Ann Badman (8), Agnes Mona Davis was born on 13 Jul 1899 in Riverton SA to parents Alexander Joel Davis and Elizabeth Mary Dunn, and she died 18 Apr 1913 in Kingsford SA (9), and Alec Alfred Davis was born on 18 Jun 1911 in Wards Belt SA to parents Alexander Joel Davis and Agnes Jane Dunn (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davis_alexander_joel.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davis_agnes,_mona_&_alec.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I541397 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I525641 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I515630 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I478080 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I485786 190 Samuel John Davidson was killed in action at Villers-Bretonneux 24 April 1918, younger son of W and FA Davidson (1). On the Gawler WWI Honour Roll, we find Private Samuel John Davidson who was born in Gawler on 26 July 1892 to parents William Davidson and Frances Hanna of Bridge Street Gawler. He was previously a school teacher in Albany WA. He enlisted 30 April 1917 in Perth, left for France 30 Oct 1917, killed in action 24 April 1918 aged 25 years, and has a memorial at Villers-Bretonneux. On a separate face of the Davidson Memorial, William Davidson died aged 61 yrs on 13 Sept 1923; his wife Frances Anna Davidson died aged 66 yrs on 5 Jan 1925; their daughter Charlotte Arnold ?Davidson died aged 64 yrs on 9 Sept 1960 (3), although this latter inscription is quite hard to read. The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has the latter name as Charles Arnold Davidson (4), but the headstone actually says Charlotte Arnold Davidson. Whilst Googling the Davidson surname on the general internet, there is a website with her details: Charlotte Arnold Davidson was born on 8 August 1894 in Gawler South, was married on 30 October 1926 to Stewart James Mair in the Congregational Church in Gawler, and had a son Barry Davidson Mair (born 4 Aug 1928, died 28 Jan 1997) (5). This makes her age to actually be 66 years when she died. Still on the same website, Stewart James Mair was born on 22 December 1897 in Norwood SA and on 30 October 1926, Stewart, aged 28, married Charlotte Arnold Davidson, aged 32, in Congregational Church in Gawler. He died on Saturday, 20 January 1951, aged 53 years and 29 days, in Barmera SA. He was buried on 22 January 1951 in the Barmera Cemetery (6). By searching on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we confirm that Charlotte Arnold Davidson was born on 8 Aug 1894 in Gawler, but find her full name to be Charlotte Sickelpiece Arnold Davidson, her parents being William Davidson and Frances Anna Hanna (7). There are no RootsWeb nor GenealogySA birth records for William Davidson and Frances Anna Hanna, and they may have migrated to SA; my calculated ages for them are c1862 and c1859 respectively. The William Davidson Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in 1888 in the Port Gawler District to Frances Ann Hanna (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davidson_samuel_john.jpg 2 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/d.html 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davidson_william_&_frances_anna.jpg

Sharing this headstone were some children of the Shanahan family, siblings of Patricia Davies (1). We aren’t told the ages of the two deceased Davies children, but still alive were Anthony Davies, Patrick Davies, Kerin Mary Davies and Edward Davies. These Davies deaths are too recent for searches on Trove. GenealogySA shows 2 Newspaper Death Notices in the Advertiser for Bernard Joseph Davies in 1976 (2). There’s nothing else on this site, nor on LDS for Glyn Davies. A general internet search has found a biography Patricia Davies: Patricia (Trish) Bernadine Davies (nee Shanahan) b1939 lived with her parents Alice and Patrick Shanahan on their farm in Freeling. In 1965 Trish married Dr Glyn Davies (ophthalmologist). They have 4 surviving children and 9 grandchildren (implies not all alive) but no other details (3). Unfortunately on later checking, this link had been removed “ Stjohnhistorywomen - Patricia Davies - stjohnhistorywomen.wikispaces.com/Patricia+Davies.

It doesn’t given us detail anyway, just background, and we are no closer to finding their dates of birth, even in RootWeb, or ages when they died. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davies_johanna_mary_&_bernard_joseph.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=RGF2aWVz&g=QmVybmFyZCBKb3NlcGg=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://stjohnhistorywomen.wikispaces.com/Patricia+Davies 192 This headstone says Ina Jane Davies died 12 Jan 1962, the wife of EH Davies (1). Using GenealogySA, by searching ‘E Davies’ marriages, the only relevant one was: Ina Jane Deland married Edward Harold Davies in 1893 (2). On a separate headstone, Edward Harold Davies was born 18 July 1867, and died 1 July 1947, husband of Ina Jane Davies; also buried here is Charles Alfred Davies, formerly of Oswestry England who died aged 25 years on 1 March 1889 (3), which makes his estimated year of birth c1864, only 3 years difference with Edward Harold Davies, so they may be brothers. On the LDS website, Edward Harold Davies was born in 1867, his father being John Whitridge Davies. Edward Harold Davies was a music teacher who’d lived in Gawler and Adelaide. He was married on 26 Sep 1893 in Gawler to Ina Jane Deland who was born 22 Apr 1874 in Gawler, her father was Benjamin Edward Deland (4). Deaths: “Davies. At Hylands, the residence of Mr F Fowler, Gawler, on March 1, Charles Alfred Davies, after a lingering illness, aged 25 years. Deeply regretted.” Bunyip, Friday 1 March 1889 p2 (5). In a 25 year-old, cancer is unlikely, but TB could be the cause, barring congential conditions. Did he come to Australia for his health? This is confirmed by the following passage: Edward Harold “Davies was born into a musical family in 1867 in Shropshire, England, and travelled to Gawler, South Australia, in 1887 to join his brother Charles who had shifted to Australia in pursuit of a warmer climate for his health. Charles was organist and choirmaster at the Congregational Church in Gawler. Harold Davies’ younger brother, Walford, stayed in England and also had a successful career in music, being knighted in 1922 and becoming Master of the King’s Musick in 1934. Harold Davies became organist and choirmaster at St Peter’s, Glenelg, and also taught pupils, one of whom he later married in 1893. Under Ives’ tutelage, Davies undertook the Bachelor of Music, and later qualified for the Doctor of Music in 1902. He was the first person to achieve this qualification. Davies was very active as a teacher, musician and scholar during the years while Ennis was the Elder Professor, and Ennis invited Davies to become a member of the newly created Faculty of Music. Davies was well respected by the music teaching fraternity, and when Ennis retired due to ill health at the end of 1918, the appointment of Davies to the Chair in Music was warmly welcomed.” Extract from the electronic edition of A History of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Adelaide 1876-2012 p329 (6). In the biography of Ina Patricia (‘Pat’) Harbison (nee Thyer) [by Judy Ferguson], Pat Harbison was born ... in Kadina, on Yorke Peninsula, to Ina nee Davies and Lewis Thyer, the new doctor in the town, who eventually worked there for 60 years. On her mother’s side Pat is the grand-daughter of E Harold Davies, professor of Music at the Elder Conservatorium in Adelaide, who as a young musician arriving from England ..... taught piano to many young people in Gawler and Kapunda. Her grandmother was Ina Jane Deland, who lived in Cowan Street, Gawler, in the house built by her father Benjamin Deland ..... (The Significant Gawler Women’s Group) (7). GenealogySA’s Birth Index for Ina Jane Deland shows she was born in 1874 to parents Benjamin Edward Deland and Jane Mary Katherine Combe (8). The ‘all Davies’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Ina Jane Deland married Edward Harold Davies shows 5 children, all born in Adelaide [1] Harold Whitridge Davies b1894; [2] George Campbell Davies b1895; [3] Edward Walford Davies b1898; [4] Ina Margaret Deland Davies b1904; [5] Catharine Mary Davies b1911 (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davies_ina_jane.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RGF2aWVz&g=RQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davies_charles_alfred_&_edward_harold.jpg 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I166431&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97230171?searchTerm=Charles%20Alfred%20Davies&searchLimits=l-title=371 6 http://www.adelaide.edu.au/press/titles/faculty-arts/arts-ebook.pdf 7 http://gawlerwomen.50webs.com/html/patharbison.html 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RGVsYW5k&g=SW5h&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 193 Jane Davies died aged 79 years on 4 Dec 1939; her husband John Davies died aged 69 years on 20 June 1929 (1). John Davies’ obituary says “An old resident of the Sandy Creek district, Mr John Davies, “passed over” in the Hutchinson Hospital on June 20th, after an illness of several weeks' duration. The deceased, who was a native of Victoria, was 70 years of age. He had been in the Sandy Creek district for about 27 years, but in his young days was a seafaring man, roaming the oceans in the now defunct sea-jammers. Although not an active participant in district happenings, he nevertheless took a big interest in public affairs, and was always well informed. He left a widow but no family issue.” Bunyip, Friday 12 July 1929 p11 (2). John Davies was born in Victoria, so his birth details don’t appear on GenealogySA, nor on my RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian. Having no children means another avenue of finding out Jane Davies’ maiden name is closed, but the GenealogySA website does have a John Davies Marriage Index who was married in 1890 to Jane Sim in the Clare District (3), and searching on Trove reveals: “Davies-Sim. On the 21st May, at the residence of the bride's brother-in-law, MC Geddes, Port Pirie, by licence, by the Rev W Wilson, John Davies, of Port Augusta, to Jane, daughter of James Sim, Balmoral, Sandy Creek.” South Australian Register, Tuesday 27 May 1890 p3 (4). This Sandy Creek connection of John Davies and Jane Sim’s family make this a likely match, but still needs final corroboration. This confirms her maiden name: Obituary: “Mrs Jane Davies. A well-known resident of Sandy Creek, Mrs Jane Davies, of 'Curdnatta,' died on December 11th, after only one week's illness, the trouble being heart attack. Up to a few years ago Mrs Davies took a keen interest in public life and held the office of President of the Gawler branch of the Liberal and Country

League. She was also an associate of the Gawler Temperance Union and an ardent worker for the Presbyterian Church. Her generosity was well known, and Sandy Creek district will carry her name in perpetuity through her gift of portion of her property as Curdnatta Park as a recreation ground for the people. Her age was 79 years. She has an elder sister, Mrs Sweeney, living at Albert Park, and her surviving brother is Mr John Sim, of Blanche street, Gawler.” Bunyip, Friday 5 January 1940 p7 (5). This Bunyip obituary says she died on the 11th December 1939, but the Bunyip erred: Death: “Davies. On the 4th of December, at her residence, "Curdnatta," Sandy Creek, Jane, widow of John Davies.” The Advertiser, Tuesday 5 December 1939 p10 (6). I cannot discover her actual date of birth (nor that of her brother John) and presume they were not officially registered in those early days, or else they, like John Davies was born out of SA. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davies_john_&_jane.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96664016?searchTerm=John%20Davies&searchLimits=l-title=371 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RGF2aWVz&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47243484?searchTerm=sim%20davies&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96702936?searchTerm=jane%20davies%20sandy&searchLimits=l-state=South+Australia 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35652777?searchTerm=jane%20davies%20sandy&searchLimits=l-state=South+Australia Annie Davies died aged 66 yrs on 26 Nov 1928, her husband Joseph Davies died 18 Feb 1902; their daughter Muriel died in England on 20 Nov 1973 (1). Even though the headstone says that Annie Davies died in 1928, as stated on the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), closer examination is less conclusive, and it may be that the final number has been interfered with, from a ‘7’ to an ‘8’. To confirm this suspicion, her Death Notice appeared in 1927: “Davies. On the 26th November at Hutchinson Hospital Gawler, Annie, widow of Joseph Davies, of 'Hampton Oak' Gawler South, leaving five sons, five daughters, and 25 grandchildren to mourn their sad loss, aged 66 years. Privately interred Sunday November 27th.” Bunyip, Friday 2 December 1927 p5 (3). As a cross-reference, the Town of Gawler website states that Annie Davies aged 66 years who last resided in Gawler South was buried on the 27/11/1927 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 42 E 4, with Rev Dwyer officiating (4). She definitely died in 1927. On the LDS website, Joseph Davies was born in 1860 and was married 19 Apr 1883 Mount Barker SA to Annie Lawrence who was born on 30 Oct 1861 Adelaide. Their children included [1] Percival Davies born 3 Sep 1883 Littlehampton SA; [2] Ivy Stella Davies born 3 Dec 1890 Gawler South; [3] Oswald Leonard Davies born 19 Dec 1897 Gawler South (5). There are more children however, as this 1912 Marriage Notice states: “HenwoodDavies. On the 30th August, at the residence of the bride's mother, Gawler South by the Rev T Vigis, Stanley F, second surviving son of Fredrick Henwood, to Ivy S, fourth daughter of Annie and the late Joseph Davies, Gawler South.” The Advertiser, Thursday 7 November 1912 p8 (6). Ivy has at least 3 older sisters. The ‘all Davies’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Joseph Davies and Annie Lawrence shows 11 children [rather than just 3 as noted on the LDS site]. Surname spelling varied (once Joseph was Davis; twice Annie was Anne; Lawrence x3, Lawrance x3; Laurence x4 and Laurance x1). This compiled list confirms Ivy Stella was the fourth daughter. The eldest 3 children were born in the Mount Barker District, the later 8 were all born in the Port Gawler District. They were [1] Percival Davies b1883; [2] Archibald Vernon Davies b1885; [3] Florence Annie Eveline Davies b1886; [4] Myrtle Harris Davis[sic] b1887; [5] Hilda Clarice Davies b1889; [6] Ivy Stella Davies b1890; [7] Stanley Roy Davies b1893; [8] Muriel Hazel Davies b1895; [9] Oswald Leonard Davies b1897; [10] Frank Bernard Davies b1899; [11] Elma Joyce Davies b1902 (7). I cannot find a Death Notice for Joseph Davies, but here is his Funeral Notice. “The Friends of the late Mr Joseph Davies of Gawler, are respectfully informed that his Remains will be removed from the Adelaide Hospital, this day (Wednesday), at 3.30 pm, for interment in the West-terrace Cemetery.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 19 February 1902 p2 (8). RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people has one Joseph Davies born in 1860, that of Joseph Davies born on 20 Apr 1860 in Littlehampton SA to parents Daniel Davies and Mary Jones (9), but I’ve no cross-reference to confirm that this is the Joseph Davies buried at Willaston. Still on RootsWeb, Muriel Hazel Davies was born 28 Sep 1895 Gawler to parents Joseph Davies and Anne Laurence[sic] (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davies_annie,_joseph_&_muriel.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96671691?searchTerm=Annie%20Davies&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31973 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31973 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I277584&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5349284 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RGF2aWVz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/4880210?searchTerm=davies%20Joseph%20Gawler&searchLimits=l-decade=190 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I503375 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I460258 James Davies died aged 69 yrs on 16 Feb 1883; his wife Mary Davies died aged 73 yrs on 12 Aug 1890 (1), making their approx years of birth c1814 and c1815 respectively. According to the LDS website, James Albert Davies was born in 1814 and died 16 Feb 1883 Willaston SA. He seems to have arrived in SA with his wife and eldest 3 children from England on the 16 Jan 1854 aboard the Emerald Isle. His occupation was miner and farmer who had lived in Glenelg, Dublin and East Adelaide. It is likely he was Welsh, as was his wife Mary Jane Jones, who was b1815 and died on 12 Aug 1890 Willaston. Their children included [1] Stephen Davies b1849, died 16 Sept 1928; [2] An Unnamed girl Davies b1851, d1851 in Wales; [3] George Davies b1853, died 8 July 1855; and in South Australia [4] Sarah Wakelin nee Davies born 21 May 1855 Glenelg SA, died 12 Aug 1889 Adelaide; [5] James Andrew Davies born 25 Mar 1857 Glenelg, d 13 Sept 1943; [6] Martha Wilson nee Davies born 19 Sept 1858, died 20 Dec 1895; [7] Mary Jane Gray nee Davies born 1 Oct 1860, died 21 Aug 1935; [8] Emma Gray nee Davies born March 1862, died 18 Sept 1940; [9] Louisa Rose Gray nee Davies born 13 May 1866 Sturt SA, died 11 May 1957 Thebarton SA; [10] Maria Ridley nee Davies born 11 June 1867, died 28 Dec 1948; [11] Ernest William Davies [adopted] born 29 Dec 1876, died 9 Jan 1951 (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davies_james_&_mary.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I168554&tree=SouthAustralia Stanley Davies was born 17 Nov 1925 and died aged 67 years on 16 Nov 1993; his wife Mavis L Davies nee Parry was born 18 Aug 1928 and died aged 78 years on 7 June 2007; parents of Eirwen, Martyn, Peter and Emlyn (1). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser shows one for Mavis Lavinia Davies on 9 June 2007, 2 days after she died, which gives us her full name (2). Neither Stanley Davies nor Mavis Lavinia Parry appear on the SA Births data shown on the RootsWeb website, implying that they where not born in SA. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davies_stanley_&_mavis_%28nee_parry%29.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html John Lavington Davies died aged 80 years on 20 June 1956; his wife Emily Edith Davies died aged 77 years on 16 Sept 1958 (1). The John Davies Marriage Index shows that John Lavington Davies was married in 1902 to Emily Edith Martin in the Port Adelaide District (2). Using the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, John Lavington Davies was born on 19 Sep 1875 in Virginia SA to
parents Joseph Davies and Susan Buckby (3). Still on RootsWeb, Emily Edith Martin was born on 4 Sep 1881 in Yatala (now Rosewater), Adelaide SA to parents Joseph Samuel Martin and Eliza Susanah Daniels (4). The ‘all Davies’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Lavington Davies and Emily Edith Martin shows the birth of 7 children, with the District shown in brackets [1] Laurel Pearl Eliza Beatrice Davies b1905 (Wasleys); [2] Jessie Millicent Davies b1908 (Gawler South); [3] Hurtle Howard Davies b1910 (Gawler South); [4] Edna Constance Davies b1913 (Hamley Bridge); [5] Allan Martin Davies b1916 (Gawler); [6] Herbert Reginald Davies b1919 (Gawler); [7] Della Gertrude Davies b1924 (Gawler) (5). Back on RootsWeb, Laurel Pearl Eliza Beatrice Davies was born on 10 Apr 1905 in Wasleys SA to parents John Lavington Davies and Emily Edith Martin (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davies_john_lavington_&_emily_edith.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RGF2aWVz&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I558728 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I147361 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I268941 198 There are 2 Memorial Inscriptions at Willaston for Beryl Violet Davy. They agree on her date of birth as 10 Feb 1923 and her age at death of 85 yrs but one message (the one where it also signals her mother Violet Davy’s dates of 19 April 1893 – 24 April 1976) says Beryl Violet Davy died on 1st July 2008 (1) and the other (a white cross) says she died on 17 Feb 2008 (2). To find which is correct, the Savill Index for Funeral Notices in the Advertiser announces her funeral on 5 July 2008 (3), so clearly the white cross date of death in wrong. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davy_beryl_violet_&_violet.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davy_beryl_violet.jpg 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html 199 Private GR Davy has a military plaque at Willaston Cemetery, he died aged 4_? yrs on 8 Aug 19__ (1). The photo image is unclear and the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery database inscription records his death as being in 1999 (2), but it could just as easily be 1959 or 1989. The ‘G Davy’ search on the GenealogySA list of SA Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has two entries for Davy G. The Burial Register says Geoffrey Robert Davy is buried at Willaston, the Memorial Inscription says that GR Davy aged 43 was buried in 1959 (3). The G Davy Death Index at GenealogySA confirms that Geoffrey Robert Davy died in Gawler in 1959 with the nominated relative his brother in law CP May (4). The Geoffrey Robert Davy Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in 1915 in Gawler South to parents William Davy and Johanna May Cundy (5). The ‘all Davy’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Davy and Johanna May Cundy shows 4 children, all born in Gawler South, [1] William George Davy b1911; [2] Winifred Vera Davy b1913; [3] Geoffrey Robert Davy b1915; [4] May Johanna Davy b1919 (6). On a separate headstone, William Davy died aged 64 yrs on 4 July 1928; his wife May died aged 70 yrs on 4 March 1949; their son William G Davy died aged 26 yrs on 6 Dec 1937 (7). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery gives William Davy (Senior) a second initial “G”(2), but this doesn’t appear on the headstone, or as a parent along with May Davy nee Cundy. Johanna May Cundy was born on 7 Aug 1878 in Williamstown SA to parents John Henry Cundy and Johanna Smith (8). Also on RootsWeb, Geoffrey Robert Davy was recorded at birth as Geoffrey Robert Davey and he was born on 26 Oct 1915 in Gawler to parents William Davy and Johanna May Cundy (9), William George Davy was registered as William George Davey and was born on 31 Aug 1911 also in Gawler to the same parents William Davy and Johanna May Cundy (10). Still on RootsWeb, William Davy’s date of birth c1864 is more of a problem, with a choice of 3 births recorded in 1864. William Davey born 2 Sep 1864 in Kensington, Adelaide to parents William Davy and Mary Norman (11), but this would mean that he was only 63 yrs [in his 64th year] when he died in July 1928. The other two were born earlier in 1864, William Davey born 2 Apr 1864 in Kapunda SA to parents Richard Jenkens Davey [Richard’s parents were Richard Jenkens Davey born c1827 and Caroline Jordan born c1823] and Caroline Moon (11). The final one was William Davey born 6 Jan 1864 in the Gawler Hills to parents Robert Davey and Mary Kill (13). So we need to find the wedding announcement of William Davy and Johanna May Cundy to check parent’s initials. The William Davy Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1910 in the Crawford District he married Johanna May Cundy (14). But I cannot find the Wedding Notice, so I’ll ahve to leave the actual date of birth of William Davy 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davy_g.r..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=RGF2eQ==&g=Rw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=RGF2eQ==&g=Rw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davy_william,_may_&_william_g.jpg 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I244102 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I486407 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I486395 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I517174 12 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I523252 13 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I515086 14 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 200 Alfred Henry A Dawe died aged 64 yrs on 17 July 1957; his wife Helen Henrietta [Nell] Dawe died aged 77 yrs on 29 April 1970 (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery calls Mr Dawe ‘Alfred Henry’, but the headstone says Alfred Henry then also Alfred HA Dawe. It also overlooks that Mrs Dawe although she was named Helen Henrietta, she was called Nell on the headstone as well. The Alfred Henry Dawe Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1911 in the Barossa District, Alfred Henry August Dawe married Helen Henrietta Amber (3). The ‘all Dawe’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Alfred Henry August Dawe and Helen Henrietta Amber shows at least 10 children born (up to the 1928 cut-off on GenealogySA), all born in Gawler [1] Rex Henry Dawe b1912 to parents Alfred Henry August Dawe and Helen Charlotte[sic] Amber; [2] Grace Darling Dawe b1913; [3] Alec Claud Dawe b1914; [4] Alfred Richard Dawe b1916; [5] Bernard Ralph Dawe b1919; [6] Winifred Doris Dawe b1921; [7] Daphne Helen Dawe b1923; [8] Morris James Dawe b1925; [9] Graham Clarence Dawe b1927; [10] Eric Lloyd Dawe b1928 (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Helen Henrietta Amber was born as Ellen Henrietta Amber on 3 Oct 1892 in Athelstone, Adelaide to father not recorded and mother Emily Amber (5), but Alfred Henry August Dawe does not appear on the RootsWeb site. Still using the RootsWeb data, Alfred Richard Dawe is confirmed born 2 Aug 1916 in Gawler to parents Alfred Henry August Dawe and Helen Henrietta Amber (6), and Morris James Dawe is confirmed born on 20 Mar 1925 in Gawler to the same parents Alfred Henry August Dawe and
Helen Henrietta Amber (7). Finally, Bernard Ralph Dawe was born on 4 Apr 1919 again in Gawler to those same parents Alfred Henry August Dawe and Helen Henrietta Amber (8). The birth date of Alfred Henry August Dawe remains an elusive target, although we calculate it was c1892. However a general Google search yields a website “Pandora’s Box” with a page dedicated to the Hogben Family. There it says that Alfred Henry August Dawe was born 12 September but the year is not given, and died 17 July 1957. His parents were Louis Christopher Frederick Dawe and Harriett Hogben. He was married in 1911 to Helen Henrietta Amber (9). Turning to the LDS website, Alfred Henry August Dawe was born in 1892 to parents Louis Christopher Dawe (b1844 Germany, died 23 May 1907 Victoria Australia) and Harriett Hogben (born 19 Feb 1850 Para Plains SA), who had married on 5 Dec 1870 in Gawler. Alfred Henry August Dawe was married aged 19 years on 27 Dec 1911 in Gawler to Ellen Henrietta Amber also aged 19 years (born 3 Oct 1892 Athelstone SA). They had at least one child, a daughter Grace Darling Dawe who was b1913 Gawler, but died 6 Apr 1914 Gawler (10). So we now know Alfred Henry August Dawe was born 12 Sept 1892 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dawe_alfred_henry_&_helen_henrietta.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I727538 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I486540 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I486570 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I486552 9 http://www.pandoras-box.net/hogben/html14/d0001/g0000008.htm 10 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I167900&tree=SouthAustralia 201 Sgt NR Dawe, husband of Patty died aged 77 yrs on 5 Nov 2007 (1). An ‘N Dawe’ search at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser shows 3 notices in 2007; [1] Neil Dawe, [2] Neil Reginald Dawe, [3] Neil Reginald (Sarge) Dawe (2). A search on the Vietnam War Nominal Roll for Neil Reginald Dawe shows that he was born in Gawler on 12 April 1930 (3). On a separate headstone, Margaret Marion Dawe, wife of Neil Reginald, died aged 44 yrs on 3 Feb 1975 (4). To find Margaret Marion Dawe’s maiden name, we need to find on Trove a wedding or birth notice, as the genealogy sites don’t help for matters this recent. We know from the headstone that Neil and Margaret’s first child was Colleen. Here is her birth notice, with Margaret’s maiden name: “Dawe (nee Riggs). On February 12, at Wallaroo Hospital, to Margaret and Neil— a daughter (Colleen Margaret). Thanking Dr Robertson and staff”, The Advertiser, Wednesday 15 February 1950 p22 (5). Unfortunately this does not give us her actual date of birth because of GenealogySA’s 1928 current cut-off. However, by a general Google of Neil Dawe Margaret Riggs, I came across an Ancestry.com website with the following page: “My name is Raelene Joy Hennessy (nee Dawe). I was born in Woodside SA on 14 December 1953 to Neil Reginald Dawe born 12th of April 1930 at Gawler SA & Margaret Marion Riggs born 16th December 1930 at Iron Knob SA (deceased 3rd Feburary 1975). I have four brothers & three sisters. Raelene is the third daughter noted on the headstone I've decided to do a RIGGS Family Tree” (6). Now we have her date of birth, and confirmed Neil Reginald Dawe’s as well. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dawe_n.r..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.vietnamroll.gov.au/VeteranDetails.aspx?VeteranId=1258772 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dawe_margaret_marion.jpg 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/50199150?searchTerm=Dawe&searchLimits= 6 http://www.genealogy.com/users/d/a/w/Raelene-J-Dawe/index.html 202 William Dawkins died 23 May 1937; Eliza P Dawkins died 27 Dec 1938 (1), although their headstone is rather indistinct. Unfortunately their ages at death are not given. The William Dawkins Marriage Index shows that he was married in 1878 in the Barossa District to Eliza Pendlebury Jones (2). According to the data on the LDS website, William Dawkins was born 7 Sep 1851 at Gawler River SA to parents John Dawkins (born 11 Jan 1811 Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England, died 10 Dec 1890 Gawler River) and Ann Letts (b1809 Leamington Spa, died 30 May 1895 Gawler River), who had married on 4 Jul 1835 at Leamington Spa. William Dawkins died on 23 May 1937 SA. He was a mayor, accountant, and businessman residing in Gawler, and was married aged 26 yrs on 5 Sep 1878 in Gawler to Eliza Pendlebury Jones aged 27 yrs (born 26 Mar 1851 SA to parents John Jones and Parnel Pendlebury, and died 1938). The children of William Dawkins and Eliza Pendlebury Jones included [1] William Lloyd Dawkins born 12 Jul 1879 Gawler; [2] Percy Campbell Dawkins born 12 Nov 1881 Gawler; [3] Arthur Oswald Dawkins born 21 Apr 1884 Gawler; [4] Elsie Parnell Ey nee Dawkins born 28 Oct 1886 Gawler (3). Still on the LDS website, the family of William Dawkins and Eliza Pendlebury Jones yields more details: [2] Percy Campbell Dawkins was married on 16 Oct 1907 at Redhill SA to Evelyn Grace Wake; [4] Elsie Parnell Dawkins was married 15 Oct 1913 in Gawler to Adolph Louis Ferdinand Ey (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Evelyn Grace Wake was born on 21 Jun 1883 in Redhill SA to parents Laban Russ Wake and Mary Gartrell (5). “Death of Mr William Dawkins... The passing of Mr William Dawkins, which took place in the Hutchinson hospital Gawler, on Sunday evening, about 9.30, ended an earthly life which might be summed up in St Paul's farewell to Timothy. Born in the district, at Gawler River, in 1851 ... he was the son of the late Mr John Dawkins, one of the State's early pioneers, who landed with his wife and two children in 1839, and 11 years later took land at Gawler River... Mr and Mrs Dawkins had a family issue of four, all living within a 'stone's throw' of-home, viz, Mr Lloyd, Mr Percy C (at present overseas), Mr Arthur O; and Mrs L Ey (Elsie).... There are 11 grandchildren and two great grandchildren” (3).

Ada’s Death Notice: “On the 26th November, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Ada Elizabeth, beloved wife of Arthur O Dawkins, and youngest daughter of the late Mr R George and Mrs George of North Fitzroy, Victoria”. The Advertiser, Tuesday 29 November 1927 p12 (2). We now know her maiden name was George but there are no birth records for Ada Elizabeth George, presumably she was born in Victoria. As she was 38 years old when she died in late 1927, we can presume she was born c1889. As we learned in Note 202, her husband Arthur Oswald Dawkins was born on 21 April 1884, the 3rd son of William Dawkins and Eliza

Pendlebury Jones. In 1928, the year after Ada’s death, Arthur Oswald Dawkins married again, this time to Lily Louisa Day (3). The ‘all Dawkins’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Arthur Oswald Dawkins and Ada Elizabeth George shows 4 children [1] Joan Dawkins b1913 in the Cowell District; [2] Arthur William George Dawkins b1915 in Gawler; [3] Robert Oswald Dawkins b1917 in Gawler; [4] Campbell Percy Dawkins 1927 in Gawler East (4). Joan Dawkins’ birth: “Dawkins. On the 23rd June, at Jervois County Hospital, to Mr and Mrs Arthur O Dawkins of Sunny Brae, Carpa – a daughter”. Chronicle, Saturday 5 July 1913 p36 (5). Clearly, as per the headstone information, she died the following day 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dawkins_ada_elizabeth_&_joan.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/41355374?searchTerm=Ada%20Dawkins&searchLimits= 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RGF3a2lucw==&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88829082?searchTerm=Ada%20Dawkins&searchLimits=l-title=291|||lcategory=Family+Notices William Lloyd Dawkins died 16 June 1943; his wife Beatrice May Dawkins died 21 April 1967 (1). We learned in Note 202 that William Lloyd Dawkins was a son of William Dawkins and Eliza Pendlebury Jones who was born in Gawler on 12 Jul 1879. William Lloyd Dawkins was married in 1928 to Beatrice May Rogasch in the Barossa District (2). Beatrice May Rogasch was born Beatice[sic] May Rogasch on 23 Oct 1893 in Gawler to parents John Charles August Rogasch and Sarah Ann Staude (3). Beatrice May Rogasch’s mother was Mrs Charles Rogasch, who died aged 82 at her home in Gawler (4), whose maiden name was Sarah Anne Staude from Bordertown, died October 1938 and is buried at Payneham Cemetery (5). Beatrice’s father Charles Rogasch died 14 March 1946 at his residence, 4 Gawler terrace, Gawler, in his 90th year (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dawkins_william_lloyd_&_beatrice_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I211513 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92435798?searchTerm=Rogasch%20gawler&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36585325?searchTerm=Rogasch%20family&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48696226?searchTerm=Rogasch%20family&searchLimits= Clement A Dawkins died aged 70 yrs on 9 May 1955; Myrtle M Dawkins died aged 71 yrs on 29 May 1959 (1). The Clement Dawkins Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Clement Allen Dawkins was married in the Port Gawler District in 1910 to Myrtle Mildred Hillier (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Clement Allen Dawkins was born Clements[sic] Allen Dawkins on 2 Feb 1885 in Two Wells to parents Eli Dawkins and Jane Jemima Griggs (3), and Myrtle Mildred Hillier was born on 18 Aug 1887 at Gawler River to parents John Hillier and Ellen Fletcher (4). Rex Dawkins died aged 57 yrs on 27 Jan 1973, husband of Dorothy, father of Kaye and Geraldine (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Rex Dawkins was born Donald Rex Dawkins on 24 Jul 1915 in East Gawler to parents Clement Allen Dawkins and Myrtle Mildred Hillier (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dawkins_clement_a_&_myrtle_m..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I395769 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I26330 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dawkins_rex.jpg 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I486674 James Dawson JP, of Albion Mill, Gawler, a native of Alloa, Scotland died aged 55 yrs on 14 Jan 1882 (1). According the excellent Gawler Now and Then website, James Dawson was born at Knowefauld, two miles from Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, on April 26, 1826 to parents John Dawson and Margaret Allan. James Dawson was an asthmatic and came to South Australia in 1863 for relief of the symptoms. His father was a farmer, and as a young man James was an apprentice to an ironmonger and seed merchant in the town of Alloa, eventually starting a business in that town. When first arriving in the colonies, he came to Gawler and stayed with Robert Fotheringham, a former classmate in Scotland, then shifted to Kapunda with Thomas Fotheringham. Mr Dawson then toured through Victoria, NSW and New Zealand before settling in Gawler, where he built a wheat store at Gawler South in 1868, and began building the Albion Flour Mill, which burnt down in 1877 and had to be re-built. The mill was the first in the Commonwealth to have the roller-system installed; to ensure efficient operation a specialist worker was recruited from Scotland, along with the machine. James Dawson won the gold medal for flour at the Paris International Exhibition in 1878. He married Helen Murray in February 1868 and they had two children. Mr Dawson was heavily involved in the town’s community groups - a member of the Gawler Institute Committee and a pillar of the Presbyterian Church, a Justice of the Peace, and a councillor for three years, including a stint as mayor in 1877 - although as a result of the Albion Mill burning down on January 14, 1877, he resigned the position – the shortest term of a mayor in the town. James was a director of the Commercial Marine Insurance Company, and had mill business dealings in Stockwell, Bassett Town and Greenock, as well as a new venture at Hamley Bridge, where a mill had recently been completed just before his death. Five years to the day of the Albion Mill fire, James passed away, and over 50 vehicles followed his funeral procession to the gravesite at Mount Crawford. The Gawler townsmen erected a memorial at the Willaston Cemetery. In his obituary in the Bunyip, it said of him: “As a gentleman his upright actions, sterling character and honesty of purpose yet unassuming manner, won him the respect of all who knew him” (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dawson_james.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.nowandthen.net.au/index.php?title=Dawson,_James Richard Day died aged 72 yrs on 3 May 1917; his wife Eliza Ann Day died aged 79 yrs on 10 April 1924 (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has mixed up these dates of death, saying that Richard died aged 79yrs on 10 April 1924 and Eliza died aged 72 yrs on 3 May 1917 (2). This is NOT what the headstone says, and needs correction. Thus my calculations imply their years of birth are both c1845. The Richard Day Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows his 1865 Adelaide marriage to Eliza Ann Folland (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Richard Day was born on 12 Dec 1844 at Tam O'Shanter Belt, Adelaide (now Kilburn and Regency Park) to parents Richard Day and Mary Ann Harris (4), and Eliza Ann Folland was born on 5 May 1844 in Pine Forest SA to parents Charles French Folland and Charlotte Vickery (5). The ‘all Day’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Richard Day and Mary Ann Harris shows at least 11 children all born in the Tam O’Shanter Belt District [1] Robert Day b1840; [2] Thomas Day b1841; [3] Elizabeth Day b1843; [4] Richard Day b1844; [5] Mary Ann Day b1846; [6] Luke Day b1848; [7] Walter Day b1849 (mother recorded as Ann Harris); [8] William Day b1851; [9] Henry Day b1853; [10] Harriet Day b1854; [11] James Day b1857 (3). Back on RootsWeb, Luke Day was born on 20 Feb 1848; Mary Anne Day was born Mary Ann[sic] Day on 9 Aug 1846;
and William Day was born on 20 Apr 1851 (8), all born in Tam O'Shanter Belt, Adelaide (now Kilburn and Regency Park) to parents Richard Day and Mary Ann Harris. The ‘all Day’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Richard Day and Eliza Ann Folland shows 9 children all born in the Reeves Plains District [1] Charles Richard Day b1866; [2] Ernest Alfred Day b1868; [3] Herculus Thomas Day b1870; [4] Spencer Folland Day b1871; [5] Lilian Eveline Day b1874; [6] Bertha Louisa Day b1876; [7] Charlotte Ann Day b1878; [8] Edith Hilda Day b1880; [9] John George Folland Day b1885 (3). The headstone for this Day family is almost illegible. Luke Day died aged 68 years on 18 Aug 1916; his wife Louisa Day died aged 72 yrs on 2 Sept 1924 (9). The Luke Day Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in Adelaide in 1869, he was married to Louisa Thorn (3). Back on RootsWeb, Louisa Thorn was born on 17 Aug 1847 in Craigies Buildings SA to parents John Thorn and Nahomi Hounsom (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_richard_&_eliza_ann.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I572994 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I721860 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I500709 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I421024 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I536363 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_luke_&_louisa.jpg 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I156312 208 Alex Day died aged 75 yrs on 28 Feb 1987, husband of Amy, father of Bet and Brian (1). Amy Jane Day, wife of Alex and mother of Bet and Brian, died aged 87 yrs on 11 Sept 2004 (2). The Alex Day Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in Gawler in 1911 to parents Hurtle Ley Day and Rose Amelia Ritchie (3), but there is no corresponding Marriage Index for Alex Day. A general Google of “Alex Day Amy Jane” shows a webpage about “The Buckbys of Great Britain” showing an Amy Jane Buckby (daughter of Beeton Buckby and Sabrina Haydon), who married Alex Day, and had a child called Bet Day (4), which fits the Amy Jane and Alex we’re researching, down to the daughter with the unusual name “Bet”. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Alex Day was born on 22 Aug 1911 in Gawler to parents Hurtle Ley Day and Rose Amelia Ritchie (5), Amy Jane Buckby was born on 11 Mar 1917 in Gawler to parents Beeton Buckby and Sabina Haydon (6), Hurtle Ley Day was born on 11 Jun 1882 in Two Wells SA to parents Thomas Day and Ellen Mary Ley (7), and Rose Amelia Ritchie was born on 24 Jun 1880 in Lower Light SA to parents James Ritchie and Rhoda Riseborough (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_alex.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_amy_jane.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/u/c/Maurice-C-Buckby/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-1149.html 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I486976 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I458684 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I594893 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I206481 209 Henry Day died aged 9 Sept 1924; his wife Margaret Day died 1 June 1934, their daughter Jean Day died 13 Feb 1958, although these dates are not easy to read (1). The Henry Day Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1877 to Margaret Oliver (2). According to the data on the LDS website, Henry Day was born on 9 May 1853 at Tam O'Shanter Belt SA to parents Richard Day (born 28 Dec 1818 Minchinhampton, Gloucestershire, England, died 31 Mar 1900 Croydon SA) and Mary Ann Harris (baptised 20 Apr 1817 Minchinhampton, died 20 Sep 1886 Croydon), who had married on 11 Sep 1837 Rodborough, Gloucestershire. Henry Day was a farmer, who had lived at Reeves Plains, Gawler and died 9 Sept 1924. He was married aged 24 yrs on 2 Aug 1877 at Woolsheds SA to Margaret Oliver aged 21 yrs (born 1 Nov 1855 Munno Para SA to parents Robert Oliver and Jane Hopkirk, and died 1 June 1934 Gawler). The children of Henry Day and Margaret Oliver included [1] Allan Henry Day born 6 Oct 1878 Mudla Wirra SA, died 1969; [2] Robert Oliver Day born 26 Jun 1880 Mudla Wirra, died 1929; [3] Mary Ann Day born 18 Jan 1882 Mudla Wirra, died 1959; [4] Jane Smith Day born 8 Jun 1885 Kangaroo Flat SA, died 1958; [5] Elliot William Day born 7 Jun 1887 Kangaroo Flat, died 1957; [6] Ellen Margaret Day born 26 Aug 1888 nr Kangaroo Flat, died 1974; [7] Daisy Day born 4 Jun 1890 Kangaroo Flat, died 1979; [8] Ruby Mina Day born 11 Oct 1892 Kangaroo Flat, died 1969; [9] Sylvia Irene Eleanor Day born 22 Jul 1895 nr Reeves Plains, died 1964 (3). So where is Jean Day, daughter of Margaret and Henry? Could she be Jane Smith Day, who coincidentally also died in 1958 as did Jean Day? Jean Day has no birth records on GenealogySA of a Jean Day with parents Margaret and Henry. Is that her real name? Maybe Jean is short for something else, or maybe she’s actually adopted or a daughter in law, rather than a natural daughter, or from a different marriage of one of the parents. Or are there just incomplete records of all births etc (4). Jane Smith Day was the 4th child (second daughter) of Henry and Margaret Day. She was born 8 Jun 1885 Kangaroo Flat SA, with no record on this site of having ever married, although mentioning marriages of 3 of her eight siblings (5). Jane Smith Day died in Gawler in 1958 (her relative’s name was her brother AH Day (6) which matches her older brother Allan Henry who was still alive then. Overall, I’m guessing that Jane Smith Day was called Jean within the family, and hence causing us much confusion. Although I’m not 100% sure of my deductions, I feel I can tentatively add in her DOB and age at death, awaiting further information. Elliott William Day (1887-1957) was the 5th child (3rd son) of Henry and Margaret Day, born 7 Jun 1887, Kangaroo Flat (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_henry,_margaret_&_jean.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I98199&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RGF5&g=SmVhbg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I98199&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 210 Alfred Day, husband of Elsie Helen Day died aged 77 yrs on 31 Aug 1926, making his year of birth approx 1849 (1). The Alfred Day Marriage Index shows that he was married in Adelaide in 1916 to Elsie Helen Withers (2), when he was about 67 yrs old and most likely a second marriage for him, but there are 3 Afred Day marriages before 1916, and 8 if we include a second name. According to the information on the LDS website, Alfred Day was born in 1849, his father was George Day. He first was married aged 35 yrs on 21 Feb 1882 in Croydon SA to Mary Ann Day [her maiden and married name] aged 33 yrs born 8 Sep 1846 Tam O'Shanter Belt SA, died 6 Sep 1915 Kangaroo Flat SA – see Note 210. They had a daughter Hulda Adelina Day born 17 Jul 1883 Croydon. Alfred Day was married 15 Apr
1916 in Glenelg SA to Elsie Annie Helen Withers born 1 Jul 1877 Gawler (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_alfred.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I167219&tree=SouthAustralia 211 James Day died aged 85 yrs on 16 June 1930; his wife Anna Louisa Day died aged 96 yrs on 22 Oct 1958; Ivy May Day died aged 3 months on 30 July 1893 (1). The James Day Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Daly District in 1881 to Anna Louisa Phelps (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ivy May Day was born on 28 Apr 1893 at Goose Island, Gawler to parents James Day and Anna Louisa Phelps, and died aged 3 months on 30 Jul 1893 in Gawler, but neither of her parents’ birth records appear on RootsWeb (3). A general Google of James Day Anna Louisa Phelps showed the AncientFaces website that notes that “James Day was born into the Day family. He married Anna Louisa Phelps and had one child together - Bertie Day. James Day's last known residence was at Bent, Australia” {wherever that is} (4), but we know from their headstone that there was at least one other child. The ‘all Day’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of James Day and Anna Louisa Phelps {twice spelt Philps} [1] Lilly Louisa Day b1886 at Goose Island; [2] Bertie Day b1888 at Goose Island; [3] Hilda Winfred Day b1890 at Gawler South; [4] Ivy May Day b1893 at Goose Island; [5] Olive Freada Murial Day b1900 at Gawler South (2), which at least shows the “Bertie” connection. The parents’ marriage: “Married: Day-Phelps. On the 24th February, by licence, by the Rev James Read, in the Wesleyan Church, Cunningham, James, third son of Mr William Day, Chelmsford, Essex, England, to Anna Louisa, eldest daughter of Mr John Phelps, of Cunningham”, The South Australian Advertiser, Wednesday 2 March 1881 p4 (5). James presumably was born in England, but at least confirm that he dies: “Day. On June 16, at the Hutchlnson Hospital, Gawler, James, beloved husband of Anna Louisa Day, of Twelfth street, Gawler South, aged 85 years” News (Adelaide), Monday 16 June 1930 p10 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_james,_anna_louisa_&_ivy_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I443816 4 http://www.ancientfaces.com/person/james-day/144466486 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30812667?searchTerm=day%20phelps&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/129003612?searchTerm=day%20james%20anna&searchLimits= 212 Annie Day, daughter of R&E Laycock, died aged 29 yrs on 17 July 1909; her husband William Hubert Day (who was also the husband of Irene Day, and the only son of Euphemia and William Day) died aged 59 yrs on 21 Oct 1934; Effie Elizabeth Jean Day, daughter of William Hubert and Annie Geneva Allen Day, died aged 82 yrs on 30 Aug 1990. Also sharing the headstone is William Day, who died aged 59 yrs on 27 Sept 1911; his wife Euphemia Day died aged 84yrs on 11 Jan 1935 (1). We learned on Note 207 that William Day was born on 20 Apr 1851. The ‘all Day’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William and Euphemia Day show no children were born of this union, but there were two children born of the marriage of William Day and Emma McCaskill (or McAskill) at Kangaroo Flat [1] Laura Adeline Day b1874; [2] William Hubert Day b1875 (2). So despite what it says on the headstone, Euphemia Day, presumably William’s wife from a later marriage, was not the mother of William Hubert Day. The William Day Marriage Index at GenealogySA confirms that in 1873, he was married in the Barossa District to Emma McAskill (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Annie Geneva Allen Laycock was born on 17 Dec 1879 in Adelaide SA to parents Richard Laycock and Elizabeth Anne Riggs (the R&E Laycock named on the headstone) (3), William Hubert Day was born on 4 Jun 1875 at Kangaroo Flat SA to parents William Day and Emma McAskill (4), and Effie Elizabeth Jean Day was born on 14 Nov 1907 in Gawler to parents William Hubert Day and Annie Geneva Allan Laycock (5). But I haven’t been able to find Euphemia’s maiden, or previous married, name. There were 251 births in SA up to the year 1928 of females with Euphemia as one of their names, but not one appropriate for Mrs Euphemia Day b1851, so was she from interstate or overseas? Sharing a headstone with Effie Elizabeth Jean Day is Irene Ella Day who died aged 87 yrs on 8 Feb 1970, Irene Ella being the wife of William Hubert Day (6). This means that William Hubert Day must have been married twice. The William Hubert Day Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Norwood district in 1925 to Irene Ella Gray (2). “Day—Gray. On the 22nd April, at East Adelaide, by Rev WT Shapley, William Hubert Day, of Unley, to Irene Ella Gray, of St Peters” The Register (Adelaide), Wednesday 6 May 1925 p8 (7), but there are no family details which may indicate that is not their first marriages. Unfortunately there is no Irene Ella Gray on the GenealogySA or on the RootsWeb birth data, so Gray maybe her name from a previous marriage. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/cd/day_annie,_william_hubert,_william,_euphemia_&_effie_elizabeth_jean.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I101841 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I557806 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I486917 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_irene_ellen_&_effie_elizabeth_jean.jpg 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/54924111?searchTerm=day%20gray&searchLimits= 213 Kate Elizabeth Day died aged 58 yrs on 30 May 1931 [birth c1873]; her husband Thomas Walter Day died aged 66 yrs on 2 June 1937 [birth c1871]; their daughter Beryl Jean Day died aged 76 yrs on 19 June 1978 (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has that Beryl Jean Day died aged 76 yrs in 1878 (2), but that makes no sense for her to have been born c1802, if her parents were born in the early 1870s. When you look closely at the date on the headstone, it could be a tampered with 1978. In fact, the Beryl Jean Day search at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser has 2 notices for her appearing in 1978 (3), proving the point. The Thomas Walter Day Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1897 in the Port Gawler District, Thomas Walter Day married Kate Elizabeth Pederick (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Thomas Walter Day was born on 22 Apr 1871 at Reeves Plains SA to parents Thomas Day and Eleanor Mary Ley (4), Kate Elizabeth Pederick was born on 23 Aug 1872 in Lewiston SA to parents William Henry Pederick {born c1830} and Emma Rose Wheaton {born c1842} (5), Beryl Jean Day was born on 5 Dec 1901 at Reeves Plains to parents Thomas Walter Day and Kate Elizabeth Pederick (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_kate_elizabeth,_thomas_walter_&_beryl_jean.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I541196 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I203384 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I270469
214 As we learned in Note 209, Elliott William Day (1887-1957) was the 5th child (3rd son) of Henry and Margaret Day, born 7 Jun 1887, Kangaroo Flat. On their headstone, Elliott William Day died aged 69 yrs on 1 Mar 1957; and his wife Gertrude Rose Day died aged 88 yrs on 2 Dec 1980 (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery spells Elliott’s name as Elliot (2), although the headstone (and other references) has two ‘t’s. The Elliott William Day Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in Adelaide in 1916 he married Gertrude Rose Llewelyn Sandery (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Gertrude Rose Llewelyn Sandery was born Gertrude Rosy Llewellyn[sic] Sandery on 20 Dec 1891 in Prospect, Adelaide to parents Philip Sandery and Amelia Grace Richardson (4). On a separate headstone, Billie Day died aged 3 yrs on 6 April 1920, first born child of Elliott and Gertrude Day (5). There is no mention of a ‘Billie’ Day at GenealogySA or on RootsWeb, so was she born elsewhere, not added to the SA births data, or has she a more formal name, or is Billie a boy? The ‘all Day’ Death Index at GenealogySA shows only one death of a possible Billie Day in 1920, that of William Alexander Day in Adelaide (3), but at the ‘all Day’ search on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries shows that William Alexander Day died aged 49 yrs in 1920 and is buried in Alma Plains Congregational Cemetery (3), clearly not our Billie Day. The ‘all Day’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Elliott William Day and Gertrude Rose Llewellyn Sandery shows they had 4 children [1] Raymond Leslie Day b1916 in the Prospect District; [2] Margaret Jean Day b1918 in the Prospect District; [3] Henry Reeves Day b1921 in Gawler; [4] Roland Philip Day b1923 in Gawler (3), and the Raymond Leslie Death Index shows that he died in 1920 in the Barossa District with the nominated relative his father Elliot William Day (3). Despite apparently saying ‘Billie’ on the headstone, allowing for some defacing, it is actually Raymond Leslie Day who is the ‘Billie’. Back on RootsWeb, Raymond Leslie Day was born on 17 Dec 1916 in Prospect, Adelaide to parents Elliott William Day and Gertrude Rose Llewellyn Sandery (6). On a separate headstone, Roland Philip Day (exRAAF) died, husband of Undine Mary Felicite, and father of Philip, Robin and __ behind the flowers. Roland Philip Day was born 31 May 1923 and died on his birthday in 1996 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_elliott_william_&_gertrude_rose.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I342115 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_billie.jpg 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I487046 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_roland_philip.jpg 215 Edgar Herman Day [1873-1929]; his wife was Sarah Constance Day [1875-1943] (1). The ‘all Day’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Edgar Herman Day and Sarah Constance __ reveals 3 children born to Edgar Hermon[sic] Day and Sarah Constance Symonds [1] Stanley Symonds Day b1908 in the Exeter District; [2] Harold Wilfred Day b1913 in the Semaphore District; [3] Arnold Henry Lloyd Day b1919 in Gawler (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Sarah Constance Symonds was actually born on 10 Jul 1877 SA {and not in 1875} to parents Alfred Symonds and Caroline (maiden name not recorded) (3). Edgar Hermon[sic] Day was born 6 Aug 1873 in Reeves Plains SA to parents Luke Day {see Note 207} and Louisa Thorn (4). “Deaths: Day. On the 13th September, at private hospital, Gawler, Edgar Herman, beloved husband of Sarah Constance Day, aged 66 years” The Register News-Pictorial (Adelaide), Saturday 14 September 1929 p8 (5). “Deaths: Day. On January 19th, at Evanston, Gawler, Sarah Constance, loving mother of Eddie (dec) Will, Perc, Annie, Stan; Harold and Arnold” Bunyip, Friday 29 January 1943 p3 (6). This Death Notice not only tells us the date Sarah Constance died, but also that she had 4 more children before the 3 noted above. Could they have been born interstate? I suspect that the Eddie who predeceased his mother was Edgar Herman Day Jr b1895. On a separate headstone, Edgar Herman Day died aged 36 yrs on 11 Nov 1931; his wife Elsie May Day died aged 91 yrs on 14 Oct 1983, parents of May and Lindsay (7). The ‘all Day’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Edgar Herman Day and Elsie May__ shows 2 children were born to Edgar Herman Day and Elsie May Ritchie Priest, both in Gawler [1] Annie Elsie May Day b1921; [2] Lindsay Campbell Day b1925 (2), which fits what it says on the headstone. Back on RootsWeb, Elsie May Ritchie Priest was born on 30 Jun 1892 in North Adelaide to parents John Ward Priest and Christina Bald (8), but there are no details of Edgar Herman Day Jr. On a Google search, there is a website for the families of “Egan and Williamson” where it records that the family of E Day [Edgar Herman Day] and Sarah Constance Symonds (b1877) included an Edgar Hermann[sic] Day who was born on 23 Nov 1895 and married an E Priest [Elsie May Ritchie Priest] (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day__edgar_herman_&_sarah_constance.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I366854 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I550418 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/53439799?searchTerm=edgar%20herman%20day&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96864396?searchTerm=sarah%20constance%20day&searchLimits= 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_edgar_herman_&_elsie_may.jpg 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I190283 9 http://www.eganfamily.id.au/FamilyHistory/wc04/wc04_296.htm 216 Elizabeth Dealy died on 19 Oct 1926; her daughter Nell ?Dealy died 22 Oct 1929 (1), and there were other siblings as well, as indicated by the ‘our mother’ and ‘our sister’. The ‘all Dealy’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1887, in Adelaide, Richard Young Dealy was married to Elizabeth Annie Smith (2). According to the information on the LDS website, Richard Young Dealy was born in 1852, and was married aged 35 yrs on 6 Aug 1887 in Adelaide to Elizabeth Annie Smith aged 23 yrs [b1864]. Their children included [1] Ellen Park Dealy born 14 Dec 1887 Balaklava SA; [2] Eva May Dealy born 1 Sep 1890 Head of Stow SA; [3] Annie Elizabeth Dealy b1892; [4] Albert Edward Dealy born 25 Mar 1903 Balaklava (3). Whilst still on the LDS site, further information about the family of Richard Young Dealy and Elizabeth Annie Smith is that the father of Elizabeth Annie Smith was Caleb Smith; [1] Ellen Park Dealy was married on 28 Jan 1914 in Wallaroo SA to Edward John Bartle; [2] Eva May Dealy was married on 14 May 1912 in Kadina SA to William Norman Bartle; [3] Annie Elizabeth Dealy [b1892] was married on 29 Jan 1913 in Kadina to Leonard Leslie Gordon (4). As Nell was married to Edward John Bartle, her surname is Bartle, and should be placed in the “B” data page. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the Elizabeth Annie Smith with father Caleb was born Elizabeth Ann Smith on 11 May 1864 in Yattalunga, Adelaide to parents Caleb Smith and Ann Park (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dealy_elizabeth_&_nell.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I166998&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F50793&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I345530
217 Neva Lucy Dealy died aged 73 yrs on 28 April 1974, mother of Myra, Max, Glen and Brian; her husband William John Dealy died aged 75 yrs on 25 Oct 1975 (1). The William John Dealy Marriage Index shows that in the Barossa District in 1924, he was married to Neva Lucy Humphrys (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows Neva Lucy Humphrys was born Neva Lucy Humphreys[sic] on 20 Jul 1901 in Wards Belt SA to parents David Henry Humphrys and Annie Alice Lodge (3), but there’s no birth record of William John Dealy. “Silver Weddings: Dealy—Humphrys. Mr and Mrs WJ Dealy, of Gawler, wish to announce the 25th anniversary of their marriage, solemnised in the Gawler Baptist Church, March 22, 1921, by Pastor R Raymond” The Advertiser, Tuesday 22 March 1949 p12 (4). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser shows one for William John (Will) Dealy on 27 Oct 1975 (5). A General Google search for South Australian Dealy Family showed a website dedicated to “The Leo/ Altree/ Jopson/ Lines/ Gransden/ Dealy Family”, William John Dealy was born on 3 Sept 1900 in Albury NSW to parents Richard Young Dealy (born Dec 1850 in Kensington, Greater London, London, Middlesex, died 24 Feb 1917 in Port Augusta SA) and Elizabeth Annie Bessie Smith (born 11 May 1864 in Yattalunga SA, died 19 Oct 1926 in Gawler SA). William John Dealy was married on 22 Mar 1924 in the Baptist Church, Gawler to Neva L Humphrys (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dealy_neva_lucy_&_william_john.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I251932 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36358328?searchTerm=Dealy%20Humphrys&searchLimits= 5 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html 6 http://adrianleo.tribalpages.com/family-tree/adrianleo/2509/941/William-Dealy-Family 218 Ellen Norah Dee died aged 67 yrs on 1 Aug 1970; Agnes Margaret Dee died aged 83 yrs on 21 May 19__ (1). Unfortunately there is some sort of tribute placed in front of the headstone that is obscuring the year of Margaret Dee’s death, which surely could have been moved before the photo was taken, then replaced as it was? The Agnes Margaret Dee Death Index at GenealogySA shows that she died in the Gilbert District in 1972, with nominated relative her brother FJ Dee (2), and the Agnes Margaret Dee Birth Index shows she was born in the Barunga District in 1889 to parents John Dee and Ellie Larkin (2). There are no records of Ellen Norah Dee at GenealogySA but the Ellen Dee Birth Index shows that Ellen Honorra Dee was born in the Kainton District in 1902 to parents John Dee and Ellen Larkin (2). John Dee’s headstone is hard to read. He was the husband of Ellen who died aged 80 yrs on 12 April 1946, making her year of birth c1866. But the headstone seems to say he was 26 years old when he died on 2 April 1935 (3), which would make his year of birth c1909, 43 yrs after his wife’s birth!! This Obituary says he was born in 1859, so he was 76 yrs old when he died: “The Late Mr John Dee. On April 2 passed away one of the later colonists from the Old Country. Mr John Dee arrived in South Australia from County Kerry in the year 1881. He was born in Listowel in 1859, spending his early youth there and married Miss Ellen Larkin, second daughter of John Larkin, of Listowel. Mr Dee, with his wife, came to South Australia in the sailing vessel Ashmore, and settled in the lower North districts, taking up land at Port Clinton, arid later at Balaklava and in the Hill River district, where he engaged in mixed farming for several years. Members of his family are settled in these districts. Mr Dee retired from active farming twelve years ago, living on his property at Sheoak Log, near Gawler. Having always enjoyed excellent health, it was not until the close of his life approached that he experienced any illness. He died at the age of 70[sic] years and is survived by his wife and nine children, four sons and five daughters, also two grand-children” Northern Argus (Clare) Friday 24 May 1935 p5 (4). John and Ellen Dee were both born in Ireland, so it makes finding their exact dates of birth difficult. The ‘all Dee’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking the offspring of John Dee and Ellen Larkin shows 9 children (variations in spelling of mother’s name in brackets) [1] Mary Esther Dee b1884 (Ellon Lorkin) in the Salters Springs District; [2] John Michael Dee b1887 in the Barunga District; [3] Agnes Margaret Dee b1889 (Ellie Larkin) in the Barunga District; [4] Joseph James Dee b1891 (Ellon Larkin) in the Mount Templeton District; [5] Jeremiah Dee b1895 in the Clinton District; [6] Francis Jeremiah Dee b1895 in the Clinton District; [7] Deborah Katherine Dee b1900 in the Clinton District; [8] Ellen Honorra Dee b1902 in the Kainton District; [9] Veronica Teresa Dee 1906 in the Clinton District (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Agnes Margaret Dee was born on 13 May 1889 in Barunga SA to parents John Dee and Ellie Larkin (5), Francis Jeremiah Dee was born on 10 Apr 1895 in Clinton SA to parents John Dee and Ellen Larkin (6), Ellen Honorra Dee was born on 29 Dec 1902 in Kainton SA to parents John Dee and Ellen Larkin (7), John Michael Dee was born on 25 Sep 1887 in Barunga SA to parents John Dee and Ellen Larkin (8), Joseph James Dee was born on 11 Mar 1891 in Mount Templeton SA to parents John Dee and Ellon Larkin (9), and Veronica Teresa Dee was born on 7 Feb 1906 in Clinton SA to parents John Dee and Ellen Larkin (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dee_ellen_norah_&_agnes_margaret.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dee_john_&_ellen.jpg 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97766727?searchTerm=john%20dee&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I422325 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I455670 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I489434 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I412725 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I432282 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I270940 219 John Michael Dee was the son of the late John and Ellen Dee. He was married to Catherine Julia Dee, but there is no ages nor dates given (1). We learned in Note 218 that John Michael Dee was born 25 Sept 1887. The John Michael Dee Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in Adelaide in 1927 to Catherine Julia O’Leary (2). The John Michael Dee Death Index at GenealogySA shows that he died in the Murray District in 1937 (2). A search on GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices shows that Catherine Julia Dee’s death notice was in the Advertiser in 1977 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Catherine Julia O’Leary was born on 4 Dec 1885 in Salisbury, Adelaide to parents Edmund O’Leary and Catherine Deane (3). The Savill Index of Funeral Notices in the Advertiser shows that Catherine Julia Dee’s appeared on 25 Aug 1977, so we can at least say she died in August 1977 (4). My calculation if he died on the Thursday morning the previous week is that he sadly died on 22 April 1935: “Death of Well Known Blanchetown Grazier. John Michael Dee, 49, grazier of Kapunda and Blanchetown was fatally injured last week when he fell down a river cliff from a wind mill he was repairing on his Blanchetown property. Mr Dee had disposed of his property and was to have joined his wife and family at Kapunda within a few days. He was a well known and respected figure at the Waikerie Monthly Sales, where he disposed of his stock. His passing came as a shock and was keenly felt by his many friends. The accident occurred about 6.15pm on Wednesday evening. Telling an employee to attend to the horses, Mr Dee had left the yards with the intentions of repairing his windmill, which was situated on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the river. When he failed to return the
employee had gone in search of him and he was eventually found unconscious at the bottom of the cliffs, near the waters edge. It is surmised that he slipped while working on the windmill. Help was procured from Blanchetown, and after some difficulty he was brought to the top with the aid of a stretcher. Mr Dee was later admitted to the Waikerie District Hospital, suffering from a fractured skull and minor injuries. He died at 10.30am the following mornlng, before his wife's arrival from Kapunda. He leaves a widow and two small children” Murray Pioneer and Australian River Record (Renmark, SA) Thursday 29 April 1937 p1 (5). This date is confirmed with the Death Notice: “Dee. On the 22nd April, at Waikerie, John Michael Dee, late of Kapunda, beloved husband of Catherine, and loving father of John and Mary, loved son of Ellen and the late John Dee, Sheaoak Log, aged 49 years” Chronicle (Adelaide) Thursday 29 Apr 1937 p25 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dee_john_michael_&_catherine_julia.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I169075 4 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/124800611?searchTerm=john%20michael%20dee&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92481818?searchTerm=john%20michael%20dee&searchLimits= 220 The wife of BE Deland died aged 34 yrs on 22 May 1868 (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says it is BE Deland buried here (2), but the headstone clearly says that it is his wife. The Town of Gawler website’s Burial Register reveals that Caroline Deland aged 34 yrs who last resided in Gawler was buried 25 May 1868 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 1 A1, with Rev C Evans officiating (3). This is confirmed by her [unnamed] Death Notice: “Death: Deland. On the 22nd May, the beloved wife of BE Deland, of Gawler, aged 34 years” South Australian Chronicle and Weekly Mail, Saturday 30 May 1868 p8 (4). Benjamin Edward Deland died aged 75 yrs on 20 Aug 1906; his wife Jane Mary Catherine Deland died aged 73 yrs on 12 July 1909 (5). Searching through the LDS site, Benjamin Edward Deland was born 1830 in Jersey, Channel Islands, his father being Benjamin Deland who was born abt 1800. Benjamin Edward Deland married Jane Mary Catherine Combe 30 Apr 1870 in Gawler SA (6), this being his second marriage after his first wife Caroline had died in 1868. The ‘all Deland’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Benjamin Edward Deland shows 3 children from his first marriage to Caroline Simmonds, all born in Gawler: [1-1] Clara Deland b1857; [1-2] Eleanor Deland b1859; [1-3] Caroline Deland b1860, and 4 from his second marriage to Jane Mary Catherine Combe, all born in Gawler: [2-1] Edward Campbell Deland b1871; [2-2] Ina Jane Deland b1874; [2-3] Charles Combe Deland b1876; [2-4] Florence Aimee Deland b1880 (7). BE Deland’s Obituary: “Mr Benjamin Edward Deland, an old resident of Gawler, died on Monday afternoon at the age of 76 years. The deceased was born in London, and was apprenticed to the building trade. He arrived in South Australia in the early fifties, and immediately proceeded to Gawler, where he began business as an architect and builder. He erected several of the principal public buildings in the town, including the institute and Congregational Church. About 25 years since he established a flourmill at Hamley Bridge. Subsequently he was joined by Mr Joseph Black, and the firm became Messrs Deland & Black. Some years ago Mr Deland removed to Cross roads, Malvern, where he had since resided. During his long stay at Gawler the deceased was a deacon of the Congregational Church and superintendent of the Sunday school, and on coming to the metropolis he attended Manthorpe Memorial Church, of which he was an active member. Until a week ago he enjoyed excellent health. He has left a widow, two sons— Messrs Campbell and Charles Deland— and two daughters—Mrs Harold Davies, wife of Dr Harold Davies, and Miss Florence Deland” The Register, Tuesday 21 August 1906 p5 (8). Back on the Gawler Council website, Benjamin E Deland aged 76yrs, who last resided in Adelaide, died on 20 Aug 1906 and was buried 22 Aug 1906 in Plot/Grave/Niche 42 A 1 at Willaston Cemetery, with Rev AH Austin officiating (9). On a website entitled My Pioneer Ancestors, Benjamin Edward Deland was born c1830 in Jersey, Channel Islands to father Benjamin Deland, and died 20 Aug 1906 in Unley, Adelaide. His wife Caroline Simmonds was born c1834, and died on 22 May 1868 in Gawler; their children [1-1] Clara Deland was born 1 Jun 1857 Gawler, and died 1 Jul 1857 in Gawler Town; [1-2] Eleanor [Helena] Deland was born 22 Jan 1859 Gawler Town, and died 8 Apr 1859 in Gawler Town; [1-3] Caroline Deland was born 11 Oct 1860 Gawler, and died 22 Jan 1861 in Gawler (10). Jane Mary Catherine Combe was born c1837 to parents Matthew Combe and Irene Manser, and died on 12 Jul 1909 in Rose Park, Adelaide. Benjamin Edward Deland and Jane Mary Catherine Combe were married on 30 Apr 1870 in Gawler, and their children were [2-1] Edward Campbell Deland was born on 8 Jun 1871 in Gawler, and died on 2 Jul 1962 in Prospect, Adelaide; [2-2] Ina Jane Deland was born on 22 Apr 1874 in Gawler, and died on 12 Jan 1962 College Park, Adelaide; [2-3] Charles Combe Deland was born on 27 Apr 1876 in Gawler, and died on 27 Mar 1961 in Adelaide; [2-4] Florence Aimee Deland was born 14 Jul 1880 in Gawler (11). Benjamin Edward Deland and Caroline Simmonds were married prior to their arrival as this ship passenger list tells us: “The barque Warren Hastings, 587 tons, Captain TL Porteous, from Southampton July 14th & Plymouth July 1855, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 12th September 1855 as per the South Australian Register Thursday 11th October 1855. Passengers included Benjamin Edward Deland aged 25 yrs, carpenter and his wife Caroline (nee Simmonds) aged 22 yrs” (12). As we found in Note 817, Jane Mary Catherine Deland nee Combe was born in Boulogne, France, in March 1837, but that is all I’ve found searching for the exact birth dates of the 3 Delands buried here. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/deland__b.e..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29130 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90040491?searchTerm=Benjamin%20Deland&searchLimits= 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/deland_benjamin_edward_&_jane_mary_catherine.jpg 6 http://histfam.familysearch.org/familygroup.php?familyID=F50609&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/57020876?searchTerm=Mrs%20Benjamin%20Deland&searchLimits= 9 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31632 10 http://www.mypioneerancestors.com.au/familygroup.php?familyID=F3686&tree=TheTree 11 http://www.mypioneerancestors.com.au/getperson.php?personID=I11570&tree=TheTree 12 http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/australia/warrenhastings1855.shtml 221 Ellen Delaney died aged 65 yrs on 13 Aug 1903; her husband Patrick Delaney died aged 77 yrs on 23 June 1906; their son Michael Delaney died aged 30 yrs {in his 31st year} on 15 July 1903, making their years of birth c1838, c1829 and c1873 respectively (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Michael Delaney was 31 yrs old (2), but the headstone says he was in his 31st year, and hence aged 30 yrs old. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Michael Delaney was born on 12 Oct 1871 in Salisbury, Adelaide to parents Patrick Delaney and Ellen Collins (3), which notes his mother Ellen’s maiden name of Collins, and shows that Michael Delaney was aged 31 yrs when he died, and not in his 31st year. “The Late Mr Patrick Delaney. The late Mr Patrick Delaney, who died at Gawler South on Saturday, was born 72 years ago. He had lived in this neighborhood for upwards of thirty years, and carried on a fruiterer's business for a long period. There survive five sons, six
daughters, 14 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren” Bunyip, Friday 29 June 1906 p2 (4). “Deaths: Delaney. On the 22rd June, at his residence, Gawler South, Patrick, the beloved husband of the late Ellen Delaney, aged 72 years, leaving five sons and six daughters, 14 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Deeply regretted” The Register (Adelaide) Wednesday 27 June 1906 p4 (5). Both these death notices for Patrick say he was aged 72 yrs when he died, although thew headstone clearly says he was 77 years old. Michael’s Death Notice is even more confusing: “Death: Delaney. On the 15th July, at Gawler South, Michael, fourth beloved son of P and E Delaney, aged 30 years and 9 months” Bunyip, Friday 24 July 1903 p2 (6). Subtracting 30 yrs and 9 mths from July 1903 means he would have been born Oct 1872, not Oct 1871. Yet the official SA births records definitely say 1871, as does GenealogySA’s Michael Delaney Birth Index who agree that he was born in 1871 (7). My overwhelming feeling is that the Delaney family was not good at dates or ages. An ‘all Delaney’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Patrick Delaney and Ellen Collins shows that they had 11 children, but not 5 boys and 6 girls as the notices say, rather they had 6 boys and five girls, who were {with vaied spelling variations} [1] Mary Ann Delany b1858 in Salisbury; [2] Ellen Delany b1861 in Salisbury; [3] James Delany b1863 in Salisbury; [4] Elizabeth Delany b1865 in Salisbury; [5] William John Delany b1867 in Salisbury; [6] Patrick Augustine Delany b1869 in Salisbury; [7] Michael Delaney b1871 in Salisbury; [8] Johanna Delaney b1873 in Smithfield; [9] Alice Delany b1878 (mother Ellen Cullens) in Smithfield; [10] Thomas Joseph Delaney b1880 in Smithfield; [11] Henry Delaney b1882 in Gawler South (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/delaney_ellen,_patrick_&_michael.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I543108 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97602458?searchTerm=patrick%20delaney&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/55637296?searchTerm=patrick%20delaney&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97588621?searchTerm=michael%20delaney%201903&searchLimits= 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 222 John James Dennis died aged 75 yrs on 29 Aug 1951; Francis Ellen Dennis died aged 92 yrs on 5 June 1963 (1), making their years of birth c1876 and c1871 respectively. Were they married, siblings or cousins? The John James Dennis Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Frome District in 1894 to Frances Ellen Carter (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that John James Dennis was born on 2 Oct 1875 in SA to parents Alfred Henry Dennis and Hannah Reed (3), and Frances Ellen Carter was born on 29 Mar 1871 in Moonta SA to parents William George Carter {born c1845} and Elizabeth Hammill {born c1848} (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dennis_john_james_&_frances_ellen.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I558839 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I301203 223 This Deuter Family headstone is very hard to read from the photo. Louisa Deuter died aged 63 yrs in 1942; Victor Hugo Deuter died (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery is helpful, telling us that Louisa died in May 1942 and Victor died aged 77 yrs in July 1950 (2). The Victor Hugo Deuter Marriage Index at GenealogySA says that he was married in the Frome District in 1899 to Louisa Dear (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Victor Hugo Deuter was born on 21 Jul 1873 in Daveyston SA to parents Rudolph Ferdinand Deuter and Christiane Louise Beinke (4), and Louisa Dear was born on 11 Mar 1879 in Mannanarie SA to parents Joseph Dear and Emily Ann Hatchard (5). Death of Mrs Louisa Deuter: “The death took place, suddenly at her residence, Fourth St, Gawler South, on Friday night last, of Mrs Louisa Deuter, wife of Mr Victor Hugo Deuter, aged 63 years.....” Bunyip, Friday 5 June 1942 p1 (6), meaning she died on 29 May 1942. Death of Mr VH Deuter: “At hospital on Saturday the death occurred of Mr Victor Hugo Deuter, aged 77 years. Before his retirement some years ago the late Mr Deuter conducted an icecream factory at Gawler South.....” Bunyip, Friday 7 July 1950 p9 (7), meaning he died on 1 July 1950. The ‘all Deuter’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Victor Hugo Deuter and Louisa Dear shows 4 children: [1] Emily Louisa Christina Deuter b1900 in Port Pirie; [2] Arnold Robert Deuter b1901 at Solomontown, Port Pirie; [3] Dorothea Annie Deuter b1904 in Gladstone; [4] Joseph Rudolph Deuter b1909 in Gawler South (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/deuter_louisa_&_victor_hugo.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I550184 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I576393 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96692277?searchTerm=Louisa%20Deuter&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96855589?searchTerm=Victor%20Deuter&searchLimits= 224 Sarah Ann Bywaters (1857-1892), wife of WW Bywaters; also their son Alfred J Bywaters died aged 7 years on 2 Nov 1895 (1). The W Bywaters Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that William Wesseldine Bywaters, also buried in Willaston, actually married twice [1] in 1880 William Wesseldine Bywaters married Sarah Ann Nottle, who died in 1892; [2] in 1896 he married Catherine Bulloch (2). Sarah’s Death: “Bywaters. On the 28th February, at Gawler South, Sarah Ann, beloved wife of William Bywaters, aged 34 years, daughter of George Nottle, Gawler River”, South Australian Chronicle, Saturday 5 March 1892 p4 (3). The Sarah Nottle Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Sarah Ann Nottle was born in 1857 to parents George Nottle and Anne Herring in the Barossa District (4). According to the LDS website, George Nottle was born in 1829. He was married 30 Nov 1854 Gawler to Ann Herring b1832. They had these children [1] Jemima Nottle born 31 Aug 1855 Gawler River; [2] Sarah Ann Nottle born 15 Mar 1857 Mudla Wirra, died 28 Feb 1892 Gawler; [3] William George Nottle born 2 Aug 1859 Gawler Plains; [4] Samuel George Nottle born 1 Jul 1861 Gawler Plains; [5] Mary Marana Nottle born 9 May 1863 Gawler River; [6] Elizabeth Nottle born 2 May 1865 Gawler Plains; [7] Catherine Herring Nottle born 17 Jul 1868 Gawler Plains; [8] William Thomas Nottle born 24 Oct 1870 Gawler Plains; [9] Grace Nottle born 20 Mar 1875 Gawler Plains (5). On the Gawler Council Website, Sarah Ann Bywaters aged 34 who last resided in Gawler South was buried 1892-02-29 at Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 55 Q 1, Rev Mr Bell officiating (6). According to the genealogy website TribalRoots, when searching the surname Bywater in Australia, Alfred James Bywaters was born Aug 01 1888 in Gawler South, and died Nov 01 1895 in Gawler South District SA; William George Bywaters was born Jun 28 1880 in Gawler South, died May 23 1954 in Gawler SA; William Wesseldine Bywaters was born May 18 1857 in Gummeracha SA, died Oct 22 1944 in Gawler SA (7). As we learnt in Note 720, Catherine McPhee Bywaters nee Bulloch was born in Scotaland in 1875, so it will benhard to find her exact date of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bywaters_sarah_ann_&_alfred_j.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qnl3YXRlcnM=&g=Vw==&c=&y=&r=MA==

As we learned in Note 223, Joseph Rudolph Deuter was born in 1909 in Gawler South to parents Victor Hugo Deuter and Louisa Dear. On a website named “Lehmann Hanschke”, the Person Sheet for Joseph Rudolph Deuter says he was born in Gawler on 17 Apr 1909, and died aged 53 yrs on 5 Jun 1962. His parents were Victor Hugo Deuter (1873-1950) and Louisa Dear (1879). Joseph Rudolph Deuter was married to Viola Oliva Munchenberg who was born 18 Sep 1909 to parents Eduard Johann Munchenberg (18641949) and Bertha Amalie Fiebiger (1868-1934). Viola Deuter died aged 96 yrs on 20 Sep 2005 (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/deuter_joseph_r_&_viola.jpg 2 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS58/PS58_470.HTM Rudolph Arthur Deuter died aged 84 yrs on 11 May 1965; his wife Olive ME Deuter [also named Olive Mary Eva on the headstone] died aged 90 yrs on 27 Dec 1968 (1). The Rudolph Arthur Deuter Marriage Index shows that he was married in the Frome District in 1906 to Olive Mary Eva Schulze (2). Rudolph Arthur Deuter was born on 5 Jun 1880 in Walloway SA to parents Rudolph Ferdinand Deuter and Louisa Christina Beinke (3), making him a brother of Victor Hugo Deuter [see Note 223]. Olive Mary Eva Schulze was born Olive Mary Eva Schultz[sic] on 6 Jul 1878 in Penwortham, near Clare SA to parents Ernest Emil Alexander Schulze and Margaret Shearer (4) 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/deuter_rudolph_arthur_&_olive_m.e..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I584149 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I371765 Margaret Ann Devine died aged 59 yrs on 31 Aug 1925, wife of William Devine (1), making her year of birth c1866. The William Devine Marriage Index at GenealogySA has no suitable marriage to Margaret Ann __. The ‘all Devine’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Devine and Margaret Ann __ yields no children (2). “Marriage: Devine-Read. On the 31st December, at the Roman Catholic Church, Broken Hill, by the Rev Father Conley, William A Devine, fourth son of John Devine, of Gawler, to Margaret Read, second daughter of the late William Read, of Adelaide” Bunyip, Friday 25 January 1889 p2 (3). This Devine headstone just says Frederick John Devine {1897-1963}; his wife Maria Pretoria Devine {1900-1993} (4). The Frederick John Devine Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in 1928 in the Norwood District to Annie Veronica Eliza Rother (2). The Annie Veronica Eliza Devine Death Index at GenealogySA shows she died in 1930 in the Norwood District, with nominated relative her husband Frederick Devine (2). I cannot find an announcement of the marriage of Frederick John Devine and Maria Pretoria __, which presumably occurred post-1930, but the Frederick John Devine Death Index shows that when he died in 1963 in Gawler, the nominated relative was his widow MP Devine (2). But here, the trail goes cold. Despite searching amongst the 283 births in SA where the first names included ‘Pretoria’, I cannot find a link. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/devine_margaret_ann.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97227998?searchTerm=Margaret%20Devine&searchLimits= 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/devine_frederick_john_&_maria_pretoria.jpg Hedley Dew, father of Vonda, Rex and Egbert, died aged 67 yrs on 2 July 1956; his wife Emily Dew died aged 80 yrs on 13 July 1970 (1), making their years of birth c1889 and c1890 respectively. The Hedley Dew Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in Adelaide in 1911 to Emily Gilbertson (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Hedley Dew was born Hedley Charles James Dew on 7 May 1889 in Salisbury, Adelaide to parents Frank Dew and Eliza Ann Helps (3), and Emily Gilbertson was born on 24 Jun 1890 in Peachy Belt SA to parents Joseph Gilbertson and Georgina White (4). The ‘all Dew’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Hedley Charles James Dew and Emily Gilbertson show the first 2 of their children (presumably Egbert was born after 1928), both born in the Barossa District [1] Vonda Audrey Dew b1913 to parents Hedley Charles James Dew and Emily Gilberton[sic]; [2] Hedley Rex Dew b1922 to parents Hedley Charles James Dew and Emily Gilbertson (2), matching the first two children mentioned on their headstone. Their marriage confirmed: “Dew-Gilbertson. On the 28th June, at the Methodist Church, Salisbury, by the Rev F Daddow, Hedley CJ, youngest son of Mr Frank Dew of Salisbury, to Emily, youngest daughter of Mr Joseph Gilbertson, of Virginia” The Advertiser, Wednesday 9 August 1911 p8 (5). Out of interest: “Sweet Pea Show: Lovers of the beautiful are reminded of the Sweet Pea Show, to be staged by the Gawler Floral Society in the Oddfellows' Hall, in Murray street, from 5pm on Saturday. The secretary, Mr AF Stewart, states that the number and quality of the blooms are expected to be high-class, and as the Gawler growers practically swept the pool at the Adelaide Sweet Pea Show in the Town Hall, and again at Thebarton on the following Monday, there is no doubt about the excellence of the local blooms. Apart from this gorgeous display of floriculfure, the Society have arranged to show the numerous trophies won at both the Adelaide and Thebarton shows, representing the acme of floriculturists' ambitions. Mr Hedley Dew, the Gawler 'wizard' of Sweet Pea culture has also consented that although he will only compete in the Zyris Cup (Hatcher Bros, of Sydney) he will make a comprehensive collection not for competition. Flower lovers will therefore have a feast of good things on Saturday evening” Bunyip, Friday 13 September 1929 p6 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dew_hedley_&_emily.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I422201 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I734810 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5300540?searchTerm=Dew%20Gilbertson%20son&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96666833?searchTerm=Hedley%20Dew&searchLimits= Anna Dorothea Dieckmann died aged 84 yrs on 21 March 1926; her husband Heinrich Dieckmann died aged 91 yrs on 22 Aug 1929 (1), making their respective years of birth c1842 and c1838. The Heinrich Dieckmann Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Heinrich Dikmann[sic] was married in the Barossa District in 1865 to Anna Dorothea Schirmer (2). On the website called The Lehmann Hanschke Family, Henrich Dieckmann was born c1838, died aged 91 yrs on 22 Aug 1929 Gawler South, and was buried 23 Aug 1929, Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 16 P 2. In 1865 he was married to Dorothea Schirmer (b1842 SA, died aged 84 yrs on 21 Mar 1926 Gawler South, and was buried 22 Mar 1926 Willaston CemeteryPlot/Grave/Niche 26 P 2. Dorothea Schirmer’s parents were Gottlob Schirmer (1810-1888) and Anna Dorothea Dohnt (1817-1883). The children of Henrich Dieckmann and Dorothea Schirmer were [1] Henry Dieckmann (1865-1894); [2] Johanna (Hannah) Magdalena Dieckmann (1867-1943); [3] Wilhelm Theodor Dieckmann (1869-1939); [4]

A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Anna Dorothea Schirmer was born on 2 Jun 1842 in Klemzig, Adelaide SA to parents Johann Gottlob Schirmer and Johanna Dorothea Dohnt (4), but I cannot find the exact birthdate of Henrich Dieckmann on RootsWeb. Staying on RootsWeb for the births of their children buried at Willaston: [1] Johanna Magdalena Deickmann[sic] was born on 14 Aug 1867 in Gawler to parents Heinrich Deickmann[sic] and Anna Dorothea Schrmer[sic] (5); [2] Henry Dieckmann was born Henry Digman[sic] on 18 Oct 1865 in Gawler to parents Henry[sic] Digman[sic] and Anna Dorathell[sic] Schirmer (6); [3] Wilhelm Theodor Dieckmann was born on 5 Sep 1869 in Gawler to parents Hinrich[sic] Dieckmann and Anna Dorethea[sic] Schirmer (7); [5] Johannes Dierck Dieckmann was born Johannesy[sic] Dierck Dieckmann on 8 Jan 1874 in Gawler to parents Henry Dieckmann and Johannah Dorethea[sic] Schirmer (8); [6] Otto Friedrich Dieckmann was born on 23 Apr 1876 in Gawler to parents Heinrich Dieckmann and Anna Dorothea Schirmer (9); [8] Adolph Gustav Dieckmann was born on 20 Sep 1880 in Gawler to parents Henrich Dieckmann and Anna Dorethea Shirmer[sic] (10); [9] Ernest Charles Dieckmann was born Ernest Charles Deckman[sic] on 2 May 1883 in Gawler to parents Henry[sic] Deckman[sic] and Anna Derothea[sic] Schermer[sic] (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dieckmann_anna_dorothea_&_heinrich.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS189/PS189_291.HTM 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I368269 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I528330 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I520785 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I536408 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I552340 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I560595 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I585027 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I383525 230 Ernest Charles Dieckmann died on 3 Dec 1952; his wife Minna BE Dieckmann died on 23 Aug 1961 (1). The Ernest Charles Dieckmann Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in Adelaide in 1910 to Minna Bertha Erna Richter (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people does not show Ernest Charles Dieckmann, at least under that spelling, but Minna Bertha Erna Richter was born on 18 Oct 1882 in Tanunda SA to parents Adolph Richter and Albertine Jisch (3). As shown in Note 229, Ernest Charles Dieckmann was born as Ernest Charles Deckman[sic] on 2 May 1883 in Gawler to parents Henry[sic] Deckman[sic] and Anna Derothea[sic] Schermer[sic]. On the website called The Lehmann Hanschke Family, Ernest Charles Dieckmann was married in 1910 to Minna Bertha Erna Richter {died on 23 Aug 1961 and buried in Willaston Cemetery. Their children included [1] Lawerance[sic] Ernest Dieckmann (1911-1995); [2] Maurice Ralph Dieckmann (died as infant) (1915-1915) (4). On the Gawler Council website, the Burial Register for Willaston Cemetery tells us that Ernest Charles Dieckmann aged 69 years, late of Gawler, was buried on 4 Dec 1952 in Plot/Grave/Niche 56 P 4, with Rev Broadbent officiating (5), and Maurice Ralph Dieckmann aged 11 mths, late of Gawler South, was buried on 26 Dec 1915 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 11 E 2, with Rev GT Arthur MA officiating (6), although he doesn’t seem to have a memorial inscription. On a separate headstone, Mildred Elizabeth Dieckmann died aged 92 yrs on 13 Sept 1988, her husband Lawrence Ernest Dieckmann died aged 83 yrs on 25 Sept 1995 (7), making their years of birth c1896 and c1912, although we already know he was born in 1911. There is no Lawrence Ernest Dieckmann Marriage Index at Genealogy SA, and their ages would preclude finding Mildred’s maiden name as a mother on the ‘all Dieckmann’ Birth Index. If the ages / dates are accurate, Mildred Elizabeth was about 16 yrs older than Lawrence Ernest. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Lawrence Ernest Dieckmann was born Lawerance[sic] Ernest Dieckmann on 11 Jun 1911 in Gawler to parents Ernest Charles Dieckmann and Mina Bertha Erna Richter (8), but I cannot find Mildred Elizabeth’s maiden name, although there is a Mildred Elizabeth Wall who was born on 30 Nov 1895 in Adelaide to parents William Wall and Mary Ann Andrews (9), who fits the dates, if they are correct. She was discovered on the RootsWeb site by searching on her first names, but without confirmation, I won’t include her details on the list. Interestingly, despite what it says on the headstone, the SAvill Index for Funeral Notices that have been in the Advertiser shows that Lawrence Ernest Dieckmann Funeral Notice appeared on 26 August 1994 (10), not in 1995. The Lawrence Dieckmann search at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices confirms that the Advertiser published a Death Notice for Lawrence Ernest (Laurie) Dieckmann in 1994 (2), as well as one the same year for Laurence[sic] Diekmann[sic] (2). So it seems he died in Aug 1994, not Sept 1995, which confirms he was 83 yrs old when he died, but there the suspicion that Mildred’s dates are also rubbery. On a metal plaque it reads that Colin Herbert Dieckmann died aged 68 yrs on 29 Oct 1985, husband of Jean (11). Colin Herbert Dieckmann was born on 1 Jun 1917 in Gawler to parents Charles Ernest Dieckmann and Minna Bertha Erna Richter (12), a younger brother to Lawrence not disclosed on The Lehmann Hanschke Family discussed above (4). Ethel Jean Dieckmann, wife of Colin, died aged 75 yrs on 20 Jan 1998 (13). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Ethel Jean died on the 10th of January, but to me it looks more like the 20th January. “Engagement: Penfold— Dieckmann: The engagement is announced of Jean, only daughter of Pte AB Penfold, 18th Garr Batt, Port Largs, and Mrs AB Penfold, of Stockyard Creek, to Colin, youngest son of Mr and Mrs EC Dieckmann, Gawler South” The Advertiser, Friday 4 July 1941 p14 (15). Back on RootsWeb, Ethel Jean Penfold was born on 4 Jul 1922 in Lyndoch SA to parents Alfred Bert Penfold and Myrtle May Dohnt (16). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dieckmann_ernest_charles_&_minna_b.e..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I228280 4 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS189/PS189_306.HTM 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34343 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32166 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dieckmann_mildred_elizabeth_&_lawrence_ernest.jpg 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I489202 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I407093 10 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html 11 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dieckmann_colin_herbert.jpg 12 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I489207 13 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dieckmann_ethel_jean.jpg

Naomi Dieckmann Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when Naomi Agneta Dieckmann died in 1972, the nominated relative was her deceased husband Adolph Gustav Dieckmann (2). The ‘all Dieckmann’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Adolph Gustav Dieckmann and Naomi Agneta __ shows that there were 6 children all born to parents Adolph Gustave[sic] Dieckmann and Naomi Agneta Dawson [1] Elwin Bethal Bruce Dieckmann b1908 in the Port Gawler District; [2] Leslie Wilfred Dieckmann b1909 in the Port Gawler District; [3] Deborah Beryl Dieckmann b1913 in the Port Gawler District; [4] Alice Noreen Dieckmann b1914 in the Barossa District; [5] Robert Allen Dieckmann b1918 in the Port Gawler District; [6] John Ralph Dieckmann b1920 in the Barossa District (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Adolph Gustave Dieckmann was born Gustav Adolph Dieckmann on 20 Sep 1880 in Gawler to parents Henrich Dieckmann and Anna Dorethea Shirmer (3), and Naomi Agneta Dawson was born on 19 Apr 1881 in Balaklava SA to parents Arthur Dawson and Deborah Margaret Peek (4). Back on the website called The Lehmann Hanschke Family, Adolph Gustav Dieckmann was married to Naomi Agneta Dawson {born c1882, died aged 90 yrs on 16 Jan 1972, and is buried Willaston Cemetery}. They had at least 3 children [1] Elwin Bethal Bruce Dieckmann (1908-1987); [2] Leslie Wilfred Dieckmann (1909-1979); Deborah Beryl Dieckmann (1913-) (5). Their headstone reads Irene Dieckmann died aged 80 yrs on 30 Jan 1987; her husband Bruce Dieckmann died aged 81 yrs on 28 July 1989 (6). There is no Elwin Bethal Bruce Dieckmann Marriage Index at GenealogySA so we must seek Irene’s maiden name elsewhere. This Birth Notice tells us: “Dieckmann (nee Rene Wilson). On April 29, at Sister Button's Private Hospital, to the wife of Bruce Dieckmann, Gawler—a daughter (Jennifer Ann)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 6 May 1943 p10 (7). Back to RootsWeb, we find that Bruce Dieckmann was born Elwin Bethal Bruce Dieckmann on 14 Jun 1908 in Gawler to parents Adolph Gustave Dieckmann and Naomi Agneta Dawson (8), and Irene Wilson was born on 28 Aug 1907 at Koolunga SA to unrecorded father and mother Ludwina Chivell Wilson (9), although there is a small chance she may have been Lydia Irene Wilson who was born on 27 Sep 1907 in Islington SA (now Kilburn) to parents William Wahlers Wilson and Ada May Gold (10). I’m not sure enough to enter a date, I cannot find any newspaper records to confirm either way. At least AG Dieckmann has more in the press: “Dieckmann: On June 15, at his residence, 8 Adelaide road, Gawler South, AG (Bonny), the beloved husband of Naomi Agneta Dieckmann, aged 72 years” “Dieckmann. On June 15, at his residence, Gawler, Bonnie, loving dad of Deborah and Alan Bain, of Naracoorte, Alice and Laurie Lally, of Willaston, and fond grandpa of Beverly” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 18 June 1953 p38 (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dieckmann_adolph_g_%28bon%29_&_naomi_a.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I585027 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I588604 5 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS189/PS189_289.HTM 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dieckmann_irene_&_bruce.jpg 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92370316?searchTerm=Bruce%20Dieckmann%20Irene&searchLimits= 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I489199 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I702988 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I702989 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93941652?searchTerm=Bruce%20Dieckmann%20Irene&searchLimits= Catherine Dieckmann died aged 40 yrs on 7 Sept 1909; her husband JD (Jack) Dieckmann died aged 63 yrs on 12 June 1937 (1). We learned in Note 229 that Johannes Dierck Dieckmann was born Johannesy[sic] Dierck Dieckmann on 8 Jan 1874 in Gawler to parents Henry Dieckmann and Johannah Dorethea[sic] Schirmer, and in Note 235 that Jack Dieckmann was killed in Adelaide by a tram car. On the website called The Lehmann Hanschke Family, Johannes Dierck Dieckmann was married to Catherine Karney {born c1869, died aged 40 yrs on 7 Sep 1909 Gawler South, and buried 9 Sep 1909 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 45 P 3}. The children of Johannes Dierck Dieckmann and Catherine Karney were [1] Hanorah Mary Dorothy Dieckmann (1899-); [2] Vera Jean Dieckmann (1900-); [3] Henry Dieckmann (1902-); [4] Ellen Annie Dieckmann (1904-); [5] John Frederick Dieckmann (died as infant) (1907-1908) (2). There is no birth of a Catherine Karney on RootsWeb, nor on GenealogySA, although the ‘all Dieckmann’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Johannes Dierck Dieckmann and Catherine Karney confirms the five names and years of birth above, all born in the Port Gawler District (3). According to the LDS website, Catherine Karney was born in 1868 and was married aged 25 yrs old on 13 Sep 1893 in Gawler to Edward Henry Busbridge aged 21 yrs (he was born 8 May 1872 in Gawler) (4). Edward Henry Busbridge died in 1894: “Death: Busbridge: On the 22nd November, at his residence, Gawler South, Edward Henry, dearly-beloved husband of Kate Busbridge, and fifth son of Jas Busbridge, Gawler, aged 22 years” Bunyip, Friday 30 November 1894 p2 (5). Although I cannot find a newspaper notice, Kate Busbridge nee Karney then became Catherine (Kate) Dieckmann formerly Busbridge nee Karney. But her exact date of birth remains elusive 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dieckmann_catherine_&_j.d._%28jack%29.jpg 2 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS189/PS189_307.HTM 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I193520&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97573121?searchTerm=Edward%20Henry%20Busbridge&searchLimits= Magdalena Dieckmann died aged 73 yrs on 14 June 1943; and is buried with her sister Charlotte Alexander who died aged 79 yrs on 12 July 1981, both daughters of H&D Dieckmann (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Magdalena died in 1942, but the last number is indistinct and when compared to other numbers on the headstone, there is a case for thinking that it is 1943, not 1942. She desfinitely died in 1943: “Dieckmann: On June 14, at her residence, 28 Fourth St, Gawler South, Hannah Magdalana, daughter of the late HA and D Dieckmann” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 24 June 1943 p10 (3). We learned on Note 229 that Johanna Magdalena Deickmann[sic] was born on 14 Aug 1867 in Gawler to parents Heinrich Deickmann[sic] and Anna Dorothea Schrmer[sic], and her age at death of 73 yrs exactly fits now we know she died in 1943 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dieckmann_magdalena.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92368953?searchTerm=Dieckmann%20Johanna&searchLimits= Otto Frederick Dieckmann died aged 77 yrs on 4 Sept 1953; his wife Ada Alice Dieckmann died aged 86 yrs on 12 April 1970 (1), making their years of birth c1876 and c1884 respectively. We learned in Note 229 that Otto Friedrich Dieckmann was born on 23 Apr 1876 in
Gawler to parents Heinrich Dieckmann and Anna Dorothea Schirmer. On the website called The Lehmann Hanschke Family, Otto Friedrich Dieckmann was married in 1910 to Ada Alice McHugh {born c1884, died aged 86 yrs on 12 Apr 1970, and is buried Willaston Cemetery}. They had at least one child: Francis Otto Dieckmann (1912-1980). LAC FO Dieckman is buried under an RAAF insignia, noting his death aged 68 yrs on 9 Dec 1980 (3), which matches Francis Otto’s dates. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ada Alice McHugh was born on 14 Jul 1883 in Richmans Valley SA to parents Francis McHugh and Julia Ann Higgins (4), and Francis Otto Dieckmann was born on 11 Jun 1912 in Gawler to parents Otto Freidrich Dieckmann and Ada Alice McHugh (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dieckmann_otto_frederick_&_ada_alice.jpg 2 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS189/PS189_293.HTM 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dieckmann_f.o..jpg 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I116167 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I489203 235 WT (Ted) Dieckmann died aged 70 yrs on 20 Sept 1939; his wife Margaret Dieckmann died aged 83 yrs on 4 July 1958 (1), although it is very hard to read the details on the headstone. We know from Note 229 that WT (Ted) Dieckmann was born Wilhelm Theodor Dieckmann on 5 Sep 1869 in Gawler to parents Hinrich[sic] Dieckmann and Anna Dorethea[sic] Schirmer, their second-born son. On the website called The Lehmann Hanschke Family, Wilhelm Theodor Dieckmann was married in 1919 to Margaret Egan {born c1875, died aged 83 yrs on 4 Jul 1958 SA, and is buried in Willaston Cemetery} (2). On the Gawler Council website, Wilhelm Theodor Dieckmann aged 70 yrs, late of Gawler South was buried on 22 Sept 1939 at Willaston Cemetery’s Plot/Grave/Niche 33 J 2, with Rev Bond officiating (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there are two suitable births of a Margaret Egan, assuming that was her full name, and she was born in SA. Without knowing the names of her parents, I cannot decide between the two [1] The Margaret Egan who was born on 20 Jun 1873 in South Australia to parents Patrick Egan and Margaret Senan, making her 85 yrs old when she died (4); and [2] The Margaret Egan who was born on 30 Apr 1877 in Glenburnie SA to parents John Egan and Catherine Cavenaugh, which would make her 81 yrs old when she died (5). There is no exact fit of any Egan birth with Margaret as one of their Christian names to be 83 yrs old on 4 July 1958. I could not find a Marriage Notice for Margaret Egan and Ted Dieckmann, so I cannot find her father’s name that way. Ted’s obituary doesn’t help, although it is certainly interesting and worth noting. “Obituary: Mr Ted Dieckmann: In the death of Mr Ted Dieckmann, which took place in Gawler on September 21st, removed another of the town's old residents and a son of Gawler. Truly it can be said of Mr Dieckmann that his works do follow him, for in his long life as a mason he did much in constructing homes and premises in the town and district. Mr Dieckmann was the eldest son of the late Mr and Mrs Harry Dieckmann, this grand old man passing over only a few years ago. The son was born in Gawler 70 years ago, his birthday being on September 7th, his end taking place in the house next door to the home in which he was born. [The] Deceased, as a lad, learnt his trade as a mason with Mr Jim Peake, laying his first stone in a cottage erected only a few yards away from his own home. Later, he entered into partnership with his brother Jack, and the two worked so amicably that the partnership continued for 45 years, terminating with the death of Mr Jack Dieckmann, who was killed in Adelaide by a tram car. In these years Messrs Dieckmann built homes and public buildings in both Gawler and Adelaide, also in the neighbouring towns, and Government contracts included the school at Roseworthy. Another feature of their building is that massive structure, the bridge across the North Para leading to Willaston. It is also a coincidence that Mr Dieckmann worked on the building now demolished, the Albion mill, at the time of construction regarded as the most up-to-date mill in Australia. Without exaggeration, it could be said that Mr Dieckmann constructed more than 100 homes in Gawler, He also worked on big buildings in Melbourne, but apart from this pilgrimage, he lived the whole of his life in Gawler. Mr Dieckmann had interest in the progress and welfare of the district, and when it was decided to expand the gold workings at Barossa, he showed his enthusiasm by building in the required boilers of the plant, taking his earnings in shares of the company. Mr Dieckmann married late in life, the unity taking place in 1918, his partner, being Miss Margaret Egan who, up to the marriage, was conducting a millinery business in Gawler. There was no family issue. Deceased was the eldest of five sons, the others being Messrs Jack (deceased), Otto, Bonnie and Eric. Of the family there are also daughters. The remains were interred privately in the Willaston cemetery” Bunyip, Friday 29 Sept 1939 p4 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dieckman_w.t__%28ted%29_&_margaret.jpg 2 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS189/PS189_294.HTM 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33484 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I639369 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I639380 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96700041?searchTerm=dieckmann%20egan&searchLimits= 236 Naomi A Dieckmann was the wife of Adolph G Dieckmann. She was born c1882, and died aged 90 1972-01-16 (1). I cannot find her second first name on GenealogySA under her married name, so we need to find her maiden name, but there are no marriage records under Adolph Gustav’s name. Searching newspapers with Trove, I found this in The Advertiser, Tuesday 16 June 1953 p18. Deaths. Dieckmann. On June 15, at his residence, 8 Adelaide road, Gawler South. AG (Benny), the beloved husband of Naomi Agneta Dieckmann. Aged 72 years (2). Still would like to find Naomi Agneta’s maiden name, but not really needed to close off my quest for her full name 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dieckmann_adolph_g_%28bon%29_&_naomi_a.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48267946?searchTerm=Naomi%20Dieckmann&searchLimits= 237 August H Diekman died aged 86 yrs on 14 July 1938; Ernestine P Diekman died aged 91 yrs on 28 April 1951 (1), making the years of birth of this presumed husband and wife c1852 and c1860 respectively. The August Diekman Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that August Heinrich Anton Dickmann[sic] was married in the Barossa District in 1879 to Johanna Pauline Ernestine Muller (2). The ‘all Diekman’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of August Heinrich Anton Diekman and Johanna Pauline Ernestine Muller shows five children [1] Otto August Diekmann b1879 to parents August Diekmann and Ernestine Miller in the Barossa District; [2] Edward Charles Diekmann b1881 to parents to parents August Diekmann and Ernestine Jane Pauline Muller in the Gilbert District; [3] Emma Christine Dickmann b1883 to parents August Henrich Anton Dickmann and Ernestine Jane Muller in the Gilbert District; [4] Norman Alfred Diekmann b1886 to parents August Heinrich Diekmann and Ernestine Muller in the Gilbert District; [5] Heinrich Wilhelm Diekmann {also registered as Henry William Diekman} b1889 to parents August Heinrich Diekmann and Ernestiene Johanna Muller in the Gilbert District (2).

Heinrich Wilhelm Diekmann {also registered as Henry William Diekman} b1889 to parents August Heinrich Diekmann and Ernestiene Johanna Muller in the Gilbert District (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that August Heinrich Anton Diekman does not appear amongst the birth records, even when searching by first names, but Johanna Pauline Ernestine Muller was born Johanne Pauline Ernestine Mueller[sic] on 12 Feb 1860 in Gnadenfrei SA (now Marananga) to parents Johann Ernst Muller and Johanna Christiane Caroline Stasinowsky (3), and Alfred Norman Diekman was born Norman Alfred Diekmann[sic] on 27 Aug 1886 in Balaklava SA to parents August Heinrich Diekmann[sic] and Ernestine Muller (4). August Heinrich Anton Diekman dies aged 85yrs: “Diekman: On the 14th of July, at his residence, 42 Eighth street, Gawler South, August Heinrich, the beloved husband of Ernestine Pauline Diekman, in his 86th year, late of Balaklava” The Advertiser, Friday 15 July 1938 p18 (5). However his date of birth remains elusive, and possibly was born elsewhere 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/diekman_august_h_&_ernestine_p.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I139471 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I407047 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35597089?searchTerm=Ernestine%20Diekman&searchLimits= John Dingle died 3 Sept 1881; his wife Mary Ann Dingle died 9 April 1894; their daughter Mary Ann Dingle died 5 Nov 1892; their son John Dingle died 7 Aug 1916 (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has put son John Dingles death as occurring on 5 Nov 1892 and daughter Mary Ann Dingle’s death occurring on 7 Aug 1916 (2). According to the headstone, this is the wrong way around: Mary Ann died in 1892 and John died in 1916. There is no record of John Dingle marrying Mary Ann on GenealogySA, but the ‘all Dingle’ Birth Index seeking offspring of John Dingle and Mary Ann __ shows at least 7 children born to John Dingle and Mary Ann Buckley, the first 6 in Adelaide, the last one {Paulina} in the Barossa District: [1] William Henry Dingle b1843; [2] Sarah Dingle b1846; [3] Jane Dingle b1848; [4] James Dingle b1851 (mother named as Mary Ann Butler[sic]); [5] Alfred Dingle b1853; [6] Mary Ann Dingle b1855; [7] Paulina Dingle b1857 (3), presumably John’s c1838 birth too early for official SA records. According to data on the LDS website, John Dingle was born in 1812 and arrived aboard the Buffalo in 1836. He was a stonemason and farmer who’d resided in Adelaide, then Roseworthy, and he died aged 69 yrs on 3 Sep 1881 at Roseworthy SA. His wife was Mary Ann Buckley (b1816, died 9 Apr 1894 nr Roseworthy). The children of John Dingle and Mary Ann Buckley were [1] John Dingle born 22 Feb 1838 Adelaide; [2] William Henry Dingle born 20 Sep 1843 Adelaide; [3] Sarah Dingle born 3 Sep 1846 Adelaide; [4] Jane Dingle born 14 Dec 1848 Thebarton SA; [5] James Dingle born 20 May 1851 Thebarton; [6] Alfred Dingle born 23 Jul 1853 Goodwood SA, died 8 Jan 1864 Roseworthy; [7] Mary Ann Dingle born 24 Jun 1855 Goodwood, died 5 Nov 1892 Roseworthy; [8] Paulina Dingle born 12 Jan 1857 Mudla Wirra SA, died 3 Jan 1864 Roseworthy (4). Further information gleaned on the LDS website about the family of John Dingle and Mary Ann Buckley; [1] John Dingle (b1838) was married on 16 Mar 1874 SA to Selina Lydia Winter; [2] William Henry Dingle was married on 17 Mar 1870 in Kadina SA to Elizabeth Jane Liddicoat; [3] Sarah Dingle was married on 28 May 1872 SA to Andrew Young; [4] Jane Dingle was married on 19 Sep 1871 in Kangaroo Flat SA to William Alexander Young (5). John Dingle (b1838) and Selina Lydia Winter had 9 little Dingles, spelt out at the website below if you wish further information (6), but as they do not add to my research of this family buried at Willaston, I didn’t follow this up. James B Dingle is remembered by a repaired plaque, he died on 21 June 1927 (7). We know James Dingle was born 20 May 1851 at Thebarton, the 5th child of John Dingle and Mary Ann Buckley. The middle initial ‘B’ is explained in his Death Notice: “Dingle: On the 21st June, at his residence, Union street, Gawler South, James Buckley Dingle, late of Roseworthy, aged 76 years” The Register, Wednesday 22 June 1927 p8 (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dingle_john,_mary_ann,_john_&_mary_ann.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I74112&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F18168&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I165117&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dingle_james.jpg 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/54262856?searchTerm=James%20Dingle&searchLimits= The view of the headstone for Mary Ann Dingley makes it impossible to read (1). Fortunately the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery tells us that she was 94 years old when she died on 16 May 19__ (2). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser newspaper shows one for Mary Ann Dingley on 17 July 1975 (3), meaning that her estimated year of birth is c1881. There is no suitable Mary Ann Dingley Birth Index for around 1881, so maybe Dingley is her married name. A serach of the ‘all Dingley’ Marriage Index seeking a groom named Dingley marrying a Mary Ann reveals that a William Edward Dingley was married in Adelaide in 1911 to Mary Ann Smalley (4). This is confirmed by this Marriage Notice: “Dingley – Smalley: On the 5th September, at Trinity Church, by the Rev F Webb, William Edward, eldest son of Charles Dingley, Milang, to Mary Ann, eldest daughter of the late John Smalley, Gawler” The Advertiser, Monday 2 October 1911 p8 (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Mary Ann Smalley was born on 8 Dec 1881 in Gawler to parents John Smalley {John Frederick Smalley born c1852} and Harriett Ann Lock {born c1861} (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dingley_mary_ann.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5319073?searchTerm=Mary%20Ann%20Dingley&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I343479 John Dingle has been given his sister Mary Ann’s date of death of in 1892, when he actually died in 1916 (1) John Dingle was born 22 Feb 1838 in Adelaide, to parents John and Mary Ann Dingle.

Samuel George Dixon died from the effects of WWI: “Mr Samuel George Dixon, who served the Empire with the Anzacs, and afterwards went to France, died suddenly at his father's residence (Mr CH Dixon), Gawler Blocks, on Tuesday evening, the cause being heart failure. Pte Dixon was heavily gassed whilst in France, and the damage inflicted was so great that he was invalided home. He arrived about 12 months ago, and the greater part of that time has been spent in hospital. The funeral took place on Wednesday aftemoon, the remains being interred in the Willaston Cemetery. Deceased was 36 years of age” Bunyip, Friday 8 August 1919 p2 (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Samuel George Dixon was born on 9 Mar 1883 in Normanville SA to parents Charles Henry Dixon and Fanny Dixon (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dixon_samuel_george.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/100418129?searchTerm=Samuel%20Dixon&searchLimits=l-title=371 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I382536 William Dick Dixon died aged 38 yrs on 5 Nov 1955; his wife Marjorie Helen Dixon died aged 81 yrs on 24 Sept 2005, she was the partner of Egon (1), presumably after William Dick Dixon died. There is no William Dick Dixon Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but the Birth Index shows he was born in 1917 in the Gilbert District to parents William Dixon and Marion Dorothy Dick (2), and the Death Index shows he died in Gawler in 1955, with nominated relative his father W Dixon (2). “Willison—Dixon: The marriage of Marjorie Helen, daughter of Mr and Mrs GG Willison, of Gawler, to William Dick, son of Mr and Mrs W Dixon, of Nantawarra, will be solemnised at Todd Street Methodist Church, Gawler, on Saturday April 5, at 6pm” The Advertiser, Saturday 29 March 1952 p22 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that William Dick Dixon was born on 8 Mar 1917 in Balaklava SA to parents William Dixon and Marion Dorothy Dick (4), and Marjorie Helen Willison was born on 1 Sep 1924 in North Adelaide to parents Gilbert Gordon Willison and Alma Adeline Taylor (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dixon_william_dick_&_marjorie_helen.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47378022?searchTerm=Dixon%20%22William%20Dick%22&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I489891 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I702508 Elizabeth Packenham Docherty died aged 70 yrs on 11 July 1909; her husband Thomas Docherty died aged 83 yrs on 5 Feb 1919; they arrived on the HMS Dauntless on 10 July 1840; also on this headstone is their daughter Florence Amy nee Docherty, who died aged 37 yrs on 3 June 1910, the wife of George Pollard (1). The Thomas Docherty Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1865 to Elizabeth Pakenham Hewston (2). A general internet search of “Thomas Docherty Elizabeth Pakenham Hewston” revealed a website called GenForum part of Genealogy.com where a Rhonda on 14 August 2009 posted some information under the heading “Re: Docherty or Doherty?” In Reply to: The Young and Docherty Families of Strathalbyn and Gawler by Ron Reynolds. Thomas Docherty aged 24 yrs {father was John Docherty} and Elizabeth Pakenham Hewston aged 23 yrs {father was James Hewston} were married on 1 March 1865 at St George Church, Gawler. There were 11 children recorded for Thomas and Elizabeth Docherty. .... it appears the Docherty family may have been listed as Doherty on the ship Dauntless: John aged 29, ploughman; wife (26), son (7), dau (4), son (11m). Embarkation no. 4120 on the Dauntless from Greenock arr 10 Jul 1840 (3). Elizabeth Packenham Docherty dies: “Docherty: On the 11th July, at Queen-street, Gawler, Elizabeth P, loved wife of Thomas Docherty, leaving a sorrowing husband, 6 sons, 1 daughter, and 10 grandchildren. Born Onetree Hill, South Australia, May 15, 1839” The Advertiser, Thursday 15 July 1909 p6 (4). Thomas Docherty dies: “Docherty: On the 20th February, at his son's residence, Kent street, Alberton, Thomas, relict of Elizabeth Docherty, of Onetree Hill and Gawler, aged 83 years leaving five sons and 13 grandchildren. A colonist of 80 years” The Advertiser, Thursday 27 February 1919 p4 (5). His Obituary: “Mr Thomas Docherty, who died at the residence of his son, Mr A Docherty, Kent-street, Alberton, arrived in the State in the ship Dauntless, which reached Port Adelaide in 1839. He was born in the county of Antrim, in 1836. He married Miss Elizabeth Packenham Hewston, of One Tree Hill, in 1862, and she died in 1909. He was engaged in fanning and contracting at Strathalbyn and at One Tree Hill. There were 13 children. Five sons survive — Messrs Edwin, Andrew, and James Docherty (Gawler), Albert Docherty (Alberton), and RA Docherty (Western Australia)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 8 March 1919 p33 (6), not giving us his full date of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/docherty_elizabeth_packenham_&_thomas.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://genforum.genealogy.com/australia/southaustralia/messages/2013.html 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5733018?searchTerm=thomas%20docherty%20elizabeth&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5633907?searchTerm=thomas%20docherty%20elizabeth&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/89135998?searchTerm=thomas%20docherty%20elizabeth&searchLimits= Gay Annette Docking died accidentally aged 18 yrs and 7 months on 8 Feb 1966; her father Gavis Harry Docking died aged 71 yrs on 6 Aug 1989; her mother Shirley Yvonne Docking died aged 54 yrs on 18 April 1982 (1). There is a separate headstone for Private Gavis Harry Docking with the Australian Army badge who give the same dates that he died aged 71 yrs on 6 Aug 1989 (2). I can understand having separate entries for photos of headstones, but for my purpose, it is better to combine them, with refence to both photos. There is no Gavis Docking Marriage Index at GenealogySA but the Gavis Docking Birth Index shows that Gavis Harry Docking was born in the Wellington District in 1917 to parents August Fredrick Docking and Clara Tabitha Chapman (3). Gavis gets engaged: “Mitchell—Docking: The engagement is announced of Ruth A, second daughter of Mr and Mrs AJ Mitchell, of Hendra, Wiliamstown, to Gavis, third son of Mrs

DW Coleman and the late Mr AF Docking, of Willlamstown” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 30 December 1937 p23 (4). Gavis and Shirley’s daughter Gay Annette is born: “Docking (nee Barber). On June 20, at Angaston District Hospital, to Shirley and Gavis (Snow) — a daughter (Gay Annette). Thanking Dr Altmann, Matron Schmidt and staff” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 26 June 1947 p34 (5). Gavis Harry Docking was born on 21 Nov 1917 at Pinnaroo SA to parents August Fredrick Docking and Clara Tabitha Chapman (6), and Shirley Yvonne Barber was born on 29 Dec 1927 in Gawler to parents Oswald Gillies Barber and Lynda Mary Gladys Kennewell (7). Gay Docking died when she was 18 years old. The headstone just says “Our Darling Gay – 18 years” In fact, how to know that the surname is Docking is not mentioned, presumably it is attached to other Docking family members (8). This clearly refers to the Gay Annette Docking who shares her parent’s headstone and died aged 18 yrs and 7 mths. A Trove search of old newspapers using “Gay Docking” shows that Mr and Mrs Gavis Docking who are buried at Willaston had three daughters, one of who was a Gay: “Christening Party at Williamstown. Mr and Mrs CE Fry, of Williamstown, arranged a christening tea on Sunday, 8th October, for grandchildren Gay, Denise and Billie Docking, and their cousin Maxwell Barber, who were all christened that day at St Peter's Church of England. Gay, Denise and Billie are the daughters of Mr and Mrs Gavis Docking, of Sandy Creek. Among the 32 guests who enjoyed the buffet tea were Mr W Docking, from Woomera, Mrs Barber (Maxwell's grandmother), and Mr and Mrs A Oliver” Bunyip, Friday 20 October 1950 p3 (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/docking_annette,_gavis_harry_&_shirley_yvonne.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/docking_gavis_harry.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92478182?searchTerm=Gavis%20Docking%20Shirley&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93346329?searchTerm=Gavis%20Docking%20Shirley&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I490149 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I438945 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/docking_gay.jpg 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96853917?searchTerm=Gay%20Docking&searchLimits=l-title=371 Lynda Mary Docking has a headstone that is hard to read. She died aged __ on __ June 1969 (1), but fortunately at least her date of death 23 June 1969 is recorded on the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The Lynda Mary Docking Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when Lynda Mary Gladys Docking died in Gawler in 1969, the nominated relative was her (living) husband William Frederick James Docking (3). Bill Docking has a headstone saying that he died aged 58 yrs on 16 Nov 1972, the son of Clara and Fred (4), making Bill an older brother to Gavis Harry Docking [see Note 245], confirmed by a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people which shows that William Fredrick James Docking was born on 13 Aug 1914 in Pinnaroo SA to parents August Frederick Docking and Clara Tobitha Chapman (5). William Frederick gets engaged: Tenant— Docking. The engagement is announced of Hazel, fourth daughter of Mrs J Bain and the late Mr Tenant, of Wllliamtown to William F, eldest son of Mrs DW Coleman, of Forreston, and the late Mr AF Docking, of Murrayville, Victoria” The Advertiser, Monday 16 December 1935 p18 (6). Lynda Mary Gladys Kennewell was born as Linda[sic] Mary Gladis[sic] KENNEWELL on 29 Sep 1897 in Barossa Diggings SA to parents Andrew James Kennewell and Rose Adams (7). We found in Note 245 that Shirley Yvonne Barber was born on 29 Dec 1927 in Gawler to parents Oswald Gillies Barber and Lynda Mary Gladys Kennewell. Did Lynda Mary Gladys Barber nee Kennewell then marry William Fredrick James Docking? The correct first names in the correct order, and born in the Barossa District makes a strong case. A general Google search reveals a website called TribalPages: Surname: Kennewell, where they say that Lynda Mary Gladys Kennewell was born on Aug 28 1897 in Barossa Diggings SA, and died on Jun 23 1969 in Gawler SA (8), the same date of death as for Lynda Mary Docking, making the evidence even stronger that Lynda Mary Gladys Barber nee Kennewell was Lynda Mary Gladys Docking formerly Barber nee Kennewell when she died. She was actually 71 yrs old when she died 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/docking_lynda_mary.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/docking_bill.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I490140 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36204821?searchTerm=Docking&searchLimits= 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I59973 8 http://www.tribalpages.com/tribe/familytree?uid=gumnutz&surname=KENNEWELL Fanny Dodson died aged 84 yrs on 3 May 1952 (1), making her year of birth c1868. The Fanny Dodson Death Index confirms that Fanny Dodson died in Gawler in 1952, and her nominated relative was her deceased husband Richard Joseph Dodson (2). There is no Richard Dodson Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so a look at the ‘all Dodson’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Richard Joseph Dodson and Fanny __ reveals no SA offspring. Really I cannot find out about Fanny Dodson on Trove nor on general Googling 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dodson_fanny.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 Daniel Erhard Doecke died aged 79 yrs on 25 July 1973; his wife Sophie Emma Doecke died aged 81 yrs on 26 Nov 1977 (1), making their years of birth c1894 and c1896. There is no Daniel Erhard Doecke Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but the ‘all Doecke’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Daniel Erhard Doecke and Sophie Emma __ shows three children born to Daniel Erhard Doecke and Sophie Emma Sauer [1] Rupert Leslie Doecke b1919 in the Angaston District; [2] Sophie Rosa Doecke b1921 in the Kapunda District; [3] Arnold Herbert Doecke 1924 in the Wellington District (2). Rupert Leslie Doecke died aged 45 yrs on 3 Jan 1965 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Sophie Emma Sauer was born on 22 Aug 1896 in Hd of Dutton SA to parents Johann Gustav Hermann Sauer and Martha Maywald (4), Daniel Erhard Doecke was born on 19 Jul 1894 in St Kitts SA to parents John August Doecke and Johanna Christiana Ullrich (5), and Rupert Leslie Doecke was born on 30 May 1919 in Angaston SA to parents Daniel Erhard Doecke and Sophie Emma Sauer (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/doecke_daniel_erhardt_&_sophie_emma.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/doecke_rupert_leslie.jpg 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I352699 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I449803 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I490481 James Hilarion Doherty died aged 12 yrs on 29 Jan 1890, son of J and _ Doherty (1). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that James Hilarion Doherty was born on 21 Oct 1887 in Meadows SA to
parents James Doherty and Edith Mary McKinlay (2). But if he was born in Oct 1887, and died in Jan 1890, he would have only been 2 yrs old, not 12 yrs. The James Doherty Death Index at GenealogySA shows that James Hilarian[sic] Doherty died in the Burra District in 1900, not 1890, with nominated relative his father James Doherty (3). To prove my case, a search on Trove found the inquest report into his death: “Fatal Accident to a Young Jockey: Burra, February 2: An inquest was held by Mr EW Crewes at the Burra Hospital yesterday to enquire as to the death of James Hilarion Doherty, which took place on Wednesday owing to a fall from a horse at the Burra Races. WJ Richards stated that he was about 70 or 80 yards away from where the accident occurred. There was a cloud of dust at the time the horses passed the post. Noticed the horse British Heather which the boy was riding to be running inside nearest the post, and saw him fall outside of the course. Thought the boy was not capable of managing the horse. Dr Sangster examined the boy immediately after arrival at hospital, when it was found necessary that an operation should take place. This showed the skull to be extensively fractured. There was a great deal of bleeding under the scalp, and the brain was much injured, which precluded any hopes of recovery. Augustine St Just Doherty, brother of the deceased, said his brother was twelve years of age, and the horse belonged to his father. His brother rode with the consent of both his father and mother, and he had ridden previously in three races, and at each race the horse got away from him. Thought his brother was not capable of managing the horse. Edith Mary Doherty, mother of the deceased, said the boy rode with the consent of his father and herself. He was anxious to ride, and he was quite capable of managing the horse. WT Thompson, who was about 130 yards away, said the lad came in contact with the post, and was thrown off, falling on the righthand side, about 4 yards from the post. Considered the boy was capable of managing the horse. The verdict was: 'The Jury are of opinion that James Hilarian Doherty came to his death by accidentally colliding with a post on the Burra Race-course, January 31, and very much regret to add that the parents are somewhat to blame for consenting to their son of such tender years riding in a race' South Australian Register, Saturday 3 February 1900 p11 (4). On closer examination of his headstone I wonder whether the numbers had been skilfully tampered with to make the 1900 look like 1890, although the purpose of doing this is quite unclear. But he clearly died aged 12 yrs on 31 Jan 1900. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/doherty_james_hilarion.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I413080 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/54429749?searchTerm=James%20Hilarion%20Doherty&searchLimits= 250 Hilda E Dohnt died aged 60 yrs on 9 April 1953; F John Dohnt died aged 51 yrs on 9 April 1930 (1), Hilda E Dohnt dying on anniversary of F John Dohnt’s death 27 yrs later. This means that their years of birth were c1893 and c1879 respectively. According to the LDS website, Johann Gottlieb Dohnt was born on 29 Aug 1819 in Guhren, Brandenberg, Prussia and died 30 Jun 1868 in Nain SA. His parents were Johann Gottfried Dohnt (born 16 Jan 1796 Guhren, died 8 Jun 1881 North Rhine SA) and Anna Dorothea Neumann (born on 21 May 1792 Guhren, died 31 May 1875 Nain). Johann Gottlieb Dohnt arrived in SA in 1838 aboard the Zebra, and was a farmer who had resided in Hahndorf, Woodside, and Nain. He was married 25 Apr 1840 SA to Anna Dorothea Schmidt or Schmidten (born 13 Oct 1818 Prussia, died 4 Jan 1850 SA).

Still using the LDS data, the eldest son of Johann Gottlieb Dohnt and Karoline Kahl, Johann Wilhelm Dohnt [see Note 250] was married aged 25 yrs on 27 Apr 1877 in Gnadenfrei SA (now Marananga) to Maria Wilhelmina Helene Rump aged 22 yrs (born 25 Dec 1854 SA, died 21 Sep 1904 Woods Flat SA).

Johann Wilhelm Dohnt was then married aged 57 yrs on 7 July 1910 to a widow Maria Auguste Altmann aged 46 yrs (born 9 May 1862 nr Balhannah SA, died in 1947 SA) (2). It is Johann Rudolph Walter Dohnt who is buried as Walter J Dohnt, a brother of F John Dohnt 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dohnt_walter_j.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I24142&tree=SouthAustralia 252 Anthony Pearson Dohnt died aged 61 yrs on 8 March 1992, son of Desmond and Victoria, father of Sharon and Charles (1). As discovered in Note 250, according to the LDS website, the Johann Gottlieb Dohnt who was born on 29 Aug 1819 in Guhren, Brandenberg, Prussia to parents Johann Gottfried Dohnt (born 16 Jan 1796 Guhren, died 8 Jun 1881 North Rhine SA) and Anna Dorothea Neumann (born on 21 May 1792 Guhren, died 31 May 1875 Nain) had a younger brother Johann Gottfried Dohnt (2). Still on the LDS website, Johann Gottfried Dohnt was born 2 Jan 1825 in Guhren, Brandenberg, Prussia and died aged 79 yrs on 9 Jun 1904 Woodside SA. He also arrived in 1838 aboard the Zebra, with his parents Johann Gottfried Dohnt and Anna Dorothea Neumann. Johann Gottfried Dohnt was a farmer who had resided at Hahndorf, Neudorf, and Nth Woodside, and was married to Eva Rosina Lauterbach (born 12 Dec 1829 Prussia, died 19 Apr 1906 nr Woodside).

Their last child Friedrich Wilhelm Dohnt is the one of interest in the Walter J Dohnt saga. Friedrich Wilhelm Dohnt was a butcher, factory manager, and an agriculturalist who had resided in Woodside, Gumeracha, Meadows, and Port Pirie. He was married aged 23 yrs on 25 Oct 1894 at Gumeracha SA to Selina Mary Norsworthy aged 21 yrs (Selina was born 14 Jan 1873 in Gumeracha to parents William Norsworthy and Sarah Elizabeth Wright, and she died 28 Dec 1945). Friedrich Wilhelm Dohnt died aged 78 yrs on 14 March 1949. The children of Friedrich Wilhelm Dohnt and Selina Mary Norsworthy were [1] Cecil Wright Dohnt born 3 Jan 1896 Gumeracha, died 1957; [2] Norris William Dohnt born 9 Apr 1897 Gumeracha, died 1969; [3] Lynley Eva Dohnt born 10 Apr 1898 Gumeracha; [4] Desmond Godfrey Dohnt born 1 Dec 1901 Meadows, died 1966; [5] Harleigh Frank Dohnt born 1905, died 1976; [6] Lancelot Charles Dohnt born 1910, died 1982; [7] Gwendoline Mary Dohnt born 1911 (4). Their 4th child Desmond was the father of Walter J Dohnt. The Desmond Godfrey Dohnt Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in 1927 in Adelaide to Gweneth May Victoria Greening (5), the parents who appear on the headstone. Unfortunately Anthony Pearson Dohnt’s year of birth c1931 means that it is still too recent to be available on genealogy sites, and there doesn’t seem to be a newspaper Birth Notice using Trove. On the Geni website, Gweneth May Victoria Greening was born 26 January 1909 in Gawler, and died 9 August 1998. Her parents were Smith Henry Pierson Greening and Gwenllyan Mary Greening, and she was married to Desmond Godfrey Dohnt, with whom she had 4 children: Esmond William Dohnt; Roger Charles Dohnt; Robin Godfrey Dohnt and Anthony Peason Dohnt (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dohnt_anthony_pearson.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I54076&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I53957&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I32111&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 6 http://www.geni.com/people/Gweneth-Greening/6000000018679510144 253 William Dost’s headstone is quite difficult to read, died aged 83 yrs in 196_, son of Gustav (1). The date of death is not mentioned on the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (5), which I can fully understand. GenealogySA doesn’t help with its Birth or Death Indexes. So we are looking for a “Dost” Birth, with first name[s] containing William from 1876 (if died in 1960) up to 1875 (if died in 1969), with father Gustav. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that only one birth fits the known facts: Frederich Wilhelm Dost was born on 23 Mar 1876 in Rosenthal (now Rosedale) to parents Gustav Dost and Mary Oldmann (2). This must mean that he died in 1960. Christian Friedrick Carl’s parents Rev Johann Heinrich Gustav Dost and Marie Matilda Altmann [see below] seem very similar to Frederich Wilhelm’s parents Gustav Dost and Mary Oldmann, as Marie=Mary, and Alt=Old, so it seems likely they were brothers, both being born at Rosedale. In fact, the ‘all Dost’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Gustav and Mary Dost shows 10 children, all born in the Barossa District [1] Gustav Adolph Dost b1863 to parents Johann Heinrich Gustav Dost and Marie Louisa Mathilde Altmann; [2] Mary Emily Dost b1865 to parents John Henry Gustav Dost and Mary Matilda Altmann; [3] Frederick Otto Dost b1867 to parents Johan Heinrick Gustav Dost and Maria Matilda Altman; [4] Frederick Hermann Dost b1868 to parents Johann Heinrick Gustav Dost and Marie Matilda Altman; [5] Auguste Ottilie Thusnelde Dost b1870 to parents Johann Heinrich Gustav Dost and Marie Matilda Altmann; [6] Emma Alwina Dost b1872 to parents Theodor Gustave Dost and Marie Mathilde Altmann; [7] Hermiene Emilie Dost b1874 to parents Johann Heinrich Gustav Dost and Marie Matilde Altmann; [8] Frederich Wilhelm Dost b1876 to parents Gustav Dost and Mary Oldmann; [9] Christian Friedrick Carl Dost b1878 to parents Johann Heinrich Gustave Dost and Marie Matilda Altmann; [10] Carl Alfred Dost b1880 to parents Johann Heinrich Gustav Dost and Marie Matilda Altmann (3). The F (Fred) Dost headstone is hard to read, but he may have died aged 75 yrs in Oct 195_ (4). It is not surprising that the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery left this line blank (5). Searching ‘Fred Dost’ for the 1950’s, seeking a death on 14th October reveals: “Dost: In loving memory of our dear brother Fred, who passed away on October 24, 1953, always remembered by his brothers and sister” and “Dost: In memory of our brother and uncle (Fred), late of Rosedale, who passed away at Gawler October 24th, 1953. .... inserted by Thusnelda Eime and family” Bunyip, Friday 22 October 1954 p2 (6). We have established that Fred Dost died on 24 Oct 1953, and if he was 75 yrs old as I think the headstone says, he would havebeen born c1878. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Christian Friedrick Carl Dost was born on 2 Apr 1878 in Rosenthal SA (now Rosedale) to parents Johann Heinrich Gustave Dost and Marie Matilda Altmann. RootsWeb also tells us that Christian Friedrick Carl Dost died [a single man who last resided in Gawler] aged 75 yrs on 23 Oct 1953 in Gawler (7). I’ll accept the one day difference in his date of death. The LDS website says that Christian Friedrich Carl Dost was born on 2 Apr 1878 in Rosenthal SA to parents Rev Johann Heinrich Gustav Dost (born 1 Sep 1835 Erefurt, Germany, died 16 Mar 1929 Rosenthal) and Marie Matilda Altmann (b1838), who had married on 7 Jan 1863 at Inverbrackie SA (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dost_william.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I563616 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dost_f._%28fred%29.jpg 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96903405?searchTerm=Fred%20Dost&searchLimits= 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I570182 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I163547&tree=SouthAustralia 254 James Henry Dowling died aged 78 yrs on 23 Oct 1964, sharing his headstone with Eileen Blanche Giffen (formerly Dowling) who died aged 75 yrs on 14 Aug 1972; and David Garth Giffen who died aged 71 yrs on 6 May 1971 (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says James Henry Dowling died aged 18 yrs (2), but the headstone numbers look more like a sloping ‘7’ than an upright ‘1’ compared to other numbers. Also the “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has done similar with the age of Eileen Blanche Giffen where they say she was ’35 yrs’, as well as saying ‘nee Dowling’ when it should say ‘formerly’ (3) which is more commonly used for the previous married name. The James Henry Dowling Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that James Henry Dowling was born in 1885 in the Gilbert District to parents Joseph Dowling and Priscilla Tamblyn (4), the James Henry Dowling Marriage Index shows he was married in the Hindmarsh District to Eileen Blanche Coventry (4), and the James Henry Dowling says that when he
died in Gawler in 1964, the nominated relative was his wife EB Dowling (4). The David Garth Giffen Birth Index at GenealogySA shows David Garth John Giffen was born in the Flinders District to parents James Giffen and Isabel Giffen (4), and the David Garth Giffen Marriage Index shows David Garth John Giffen was married in the Flinders District in 1935 to Lillian Mary Kean (4). No doubt the marriage of David Garth John Giffen and Eileen Blanche Dowling nee Coventry followed after their first marriages had ended. The Lillian Mary Giffen nee Kean Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when she died in 1964 in the Flinders District, the nominated relative was her husband David Garth Giffen (4). So in or after 1964, the two survivors were free to marry, but my resources do not allow me to chase up such a recent event. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that James Henry Dowling was born on 15 Dec 1885 in Pinery SA to parents Joseph Dowling and Priscilla Tamblyn (5), Eileen Blanche Coventry was born as Eilleen Blanch Coventry on 15 Jan 1897 in Payneham, Adelaide to parents Charles Henry Coventry and Adeline Tomkin (6), and David Garth John Giffen was born on 12 Dec 1899 in Port Lincoln SA to parents James Giffen and Isabel Giffen (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dowling_james_henry.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I401091 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I179348 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I734453 255 This headstone tells us that James William Doyle died on the 4 May 1991 aged 82 yrs; husband of Betty, father of Peter and Christine (1), meaning that his year of birth was c1909. The James William Doyle Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in 1908 in the Gilbert District to parents Thomas Lawrence Doyle and Mary Cecilia Chambers (2), but there is no James William Doyle Marriage Index with a wife named Betty or equivalents. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that James William Doyle was born on 19 Dec 1908 in Hamley Bridge SA to parents Thomas Lawrence Doyle and Mary Cecilia Chambers (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/doyle_james_william.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I492431 256 John Doyle died aged 61 yrs on 1 May 1920; Mary Ann Doyle died aged 84 yrs on 22 Aug 1952; their son John Joseph Doyle died aged 27 yrs on 28 Dec 1923 (1). Unfortunately, the date on the headstone for John Doyle is incorrect. He actually died on the same day and month but a year later in 1921. This is shown by the Willaston Cemetery’s Burial Register: John Doyle, aged 61 yrs who last resided in Gawler was buried 2 May 1921 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 29 Q 3, with Rev Father Maher officiating (2). Also, in “Bereavement Cards: The Widow and Family of the late Mr John Doyle, of Gawler, desire to Thank all Relatives and Friends for kind expressions of sympathy, letters, cards, and floral tributes in their late sad bereavement, especially Dr Dawes and Mrs Morphett” Bunyip, Friday 6 May 1921 p2 (3). Whether this was a mistake by the mason, or the family, who knows? He was born 61 years before 1921, ie c1860. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there are 4 John Doyle births between 1852 and 1887, but only one fits the criterion of being 61 yrs old when he died in May 1921: John Doyle who was born on 24 Oct 1859 in First Creek SA to parents James Doyle and Catherine Nash (4). The John Doyle Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that John Doyle was married in the Barossa District in 1892 to Mary Anne Smith (5). The ‘all Doyle’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Doyle and Mary Anne Smith shows 5 children born to John Doyle and Mary Ann Smith [the father of the last born Laurence Andrew Doyle has his father’s name given as John Joseph Doyle] [1] James Thomas Doyle b1893 in the Barossa District; [2] John Joseph Doyle 1895 in the Port Gawler District; [3] Caven Francis Doyle b1898 in the Barossa District [also a separate entry as Kaven Francis Doyle b1898 in the Barossa District]; [4] Percival Baden Doyle b1901 in the Clare District; [5] Laurence Andrew Doyle b1905 in the Barossa District (5). Back on RootsWeb, John Joseph Doyle was born on 10 Sep 1895 in Gawler to parents John Doyle and Mary Ann Smith (6). John Doyle’s death was reported in the Bunyip: “Gunshot Tragedy. On Sunday morning Mr John Doyle of Barrett Town was found dead as the result of a gun accident, the shocking discovery being made some time afterwards by his wife. From enquiries made Mr Doyle (who was 57 years of age) had arranged with his boys to go out on a rabbiting trip on Sunday morning. He took the gun from the accustomed place and entered a room off the verandah, where he was found with practically the whole of his bead blown off, the gun having a perfectly clean barrel on the left; the right containing an exploded cartridge. On the floor near the deceased lay the cleaning rod. A son was sleeping in a room adjoining and did not hear the report. When he got up he missed his father, and after a casual look around surmised that he had gone off without him. The mother, who was at Church, on her return, saw several jobs usually attended to by the father, left undone, and a premonition made her search his whereabouts. The accident was reported by the police to the Mayor as Coroner, who after hearing the facts, deemed an enquiry unnecessary, and gave a verdict that the deceased had met his death through a gunshot wound accidentally self- inflicted” Bunyip, Friday 6 May 1921 p2 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/doyle_john,_john_joseph_&_mary_ann.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31491 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97756483?searchTerm=John%20Doyle&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I501453 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I457836 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97756476?searchTerm=John%20Doyle&searchLimits=l-title=371 257 As stated in Note 256, Mary Ann Doyle died aged 84 yrs on 22 August 1952, and we know her maiden name was Mary Ann[e] Smith. Her death is confirmed by this Death Notice: Death. “Doyle: On August 22nd, at Freeling private hospital, Mary Anne, beloved wife of the late John Joseph Doyle of Gawler, and loving mother of Jim, Kevin, Perce, Lawrence, also Jack (deceased), aged 84” Bunyip, Friday 29 August 1952 p2 (1). We also learned in Note 256 the offspring of John Doyle and Mary Anne Smith were [1] James Thomas Doyle b1893; [2] John Joseph Doyle 1895; [3] Caven Francis Doyle b1898 [also a separate entry as Kaven Francis Doyle b1898]; [4] Percival Baden Doyle b1901; [5] Laurence Andrew Doyle b1905, the father of Laurence Andrew Doyle was named as John Joseph Doyle]. These correspond exactly to the names in Mary Anne’s death notice, John Joseph being the deceased Jack. It also shows the phonetic spellings of Kevin as ‘Caven’, and ‘Kaven’. Here again in this notice, her husband John Doyle is called John Joseph Doyle, just to add another JJ Doyle into the mix. Mary Ann Smith would have been born 1952 minus 84 = c1868. But on Gawler Council’s Willaston Cemetery Burial Register: Mary Ann Doyle aged 82 yrs who last resided in Gawler was buried 23 Aug1952 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 29 Q 3, with Father Sparkes officiating (2). This makes her birth closer to 1870. Of course, if they meant in her 84th year, then that would mean 1869 would
258
259
260
261
be more likely. To decide on the correct Mary Ann Smith, it would be helpful to know who her parents were, so a marriage notice would be helpful, we know from Note 256 she married in 1892. But I cannot find any reference to their marriage using Trove. Assuming that Mary Ann Smith was born in SA, a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows six possible: [1] Mary Ann Smith was born on 11 Aug 1868 in Port Macdonnell SA to parents William Smith and Elizabeth Travers (3), [2] Mary Ann Smith was born on 15 Aug 1869 in Coghills Creek, near Saddleworth SA to parents Thomas Henry Smith and Louisa Scott (4), [3] Mary Ann Smith was born on 20 Jan 1868 in Brighton Rd, Adelaide to parents Isaac Smith and Mary Ann Clough (5), [4] Mary Ann Smith was born on 21 Apr 1869 in Brompton, Adelaide to parents William Smith and Sarah Willsher (6), [5] Mary Ann Evelyn Smith was born on 20 May 1870 in Hindmarsh, Adelaide to parents Henry Smith and Sally Morris (7) and [6] Mary Ann Hamley Smith was born on 22 Oct 1870 in Hd Of Caroline SA to parents James Smith and Ann Maria Collyer (8). But which one? 1 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96896723?searchTerm=John%20Doyle&searchLimits= 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34325 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I348078 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I348080 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I348077 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I348079 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I348095 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I348096 John Joseph Doyle, as we found in Note 256 was born on 10 Sept 1895 to parents John Doyle and Mary Ann Smith, with whom he shares his headstone. He was only 27 when he died on 28 Dec 1923. He was married to Elizabeth Doyle as shown in this In Memoriam Notice: “Doyle: In loving memory of my dear husband John Joseph, who died December 28, 1923, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler. Loving thought of you, dear, Will for ever with me stay. God called you home to rest, dear, three years ago to-day, inserted by his loving wife Elizabeth Doyle” Bunyip, Friday 7 January 1927 p5 (1). The John Joseph Doyle Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that the only possible John Joseph Doyle marriage was to an Elizabeth Ann Ronan in 1922 in Adelaide (2). “Marriages: Doyle—Ronan: On the 24th August, at St Lawrence's, North Adelaide, by the Rev Father Chandler OP, John Joseph, second eldest son of Mrs and the late Mr J Doyle, of Lyndoch-road, Gawler, to Elizabeth Ann Ronan, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs PJ Ronan, Pondee, late of Gawler” The Advertiser, Thursday 31 August 1922 p6 (3). After John Joseph Doyle died, there must have been rumours that he had died from TB, a scary thing in those pre-antibiotic days. A month after he died, this appeared in the local press: “Public Notices: Mrs John Doyle wishes to inform the public that her late husband, John Joseph Doyle, died on December 28, from Acute Rheumatism and not from Consumption as is being circulated. Should any further reports be circulated further steps will be taken” Bunyip, Friday 8 February 1924 p3 (4). 1 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96673022?searchTerm=Doyle&searchLimits= 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/49114067?searchTerm=doyle%20ronan&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97763361?searchTerm=John%20Doyle&searchLimits= John J Doyle died 16 April 1954; his wife R Maud Doyle died 22 Oct 19__, with the year [and most of the month] obscured by flowers (1). The John Doyle Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that John Joseph Doyle was married in Adelaide in 1907 to Rosina Maud Geerckens (2). The Rosina Maud Doyle Death Index shows that she died in Gawler in 1968, with nominated relative her deceased husband John Joseph Doyle (2). Now we have their years of death, we need to find their dates of birth or ages at death. John Joseph Doyle dies aged 89 yrs: “Deaths: Doyle: On April 16, John Joseph, at his residence, Gawler, dearly beloved husband of Maude, loving father of Elsie, Syd, John and Mary, in his 90th year” The Advertiser, Thursday 22 April 1954 p22 (3), meaning that his year of birth was c1865. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Rosina Maud Geerckens was born Rosena[sic] Maud Geerckens on 21 Feb 1885 in Morgan SA to parents Frederick William Geerckens and Alice Jane Fulchier (4), but the search for John Joseph Doyle’s birth on RootsWeb was fruitless. The reason for this is evident from his short obituary, he wasn’t born in SA: “Well-known trainer dies in 90th year. The death occurred at his residence, Gawler West, last Friday night of former noted horse trainer Mr John Joseph Doyle, who was in his 90th year. Mr Doyle came to Gawler from the Eastern States and established stables which produced many brilliant performers. A well-known sprinter in his charge was Aurie's Star which met with great racing success, and Isosceles, also trained by Mr Doyle, won the Goodwood Handicap in 1935. Latterly Mr Doyle had not enjoyed good health. His remains were privately laid to rest at Willaston on Saturday afternoon: There remain his widow, daughters Elsie and Mary, and sons Syd and John” Bunyip, Friday 23 April 1954 p1 (5). The ‘all Doyle’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Joseph Doyle and Rosina Maud Geerckens reveals four children [1] Elsie Maud Doyle b1907 [mother Rosina Maud Gurgkens] in Adelaide; [2] Sydney James Leeper Doyle b1909 in the Port Gawler District; [3] John Raymond Leeper Doyle b1911 in the Port Gawler District; [4] Mary Irene Doyle b1913 in the Port Gawler District (2), these matching those noted in John J’s obituary above. John Raymond Doyle’s headstone says John Raymond Doyle was born 1st October 1911, died 29th September 1996, son of Maud and John, brother to Elsie, Sydney and Mar[obscured by flowers] ?Mary (6). Back on RootsWeb we find that John Raymond Doyle was born John Raymond Leeper Doyle on 1 Oct 1911 in Gawler to parents John Joseph Doyle and Rosina Maud Geerckens (7), confirming that date 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/doyle_john_j_&_r._maud.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48107627?searchTerm=John%20Doyle%20Gawler&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I731852 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96902030?searchTerm=John%20Doyle&searchLimits= 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/doyle_john_raymond.jpg 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I492448 John J Doyle Sen and John J Doyle Jun, father and brother of Kevin have a shared memorial with no dates or ages (1). As we learned in Note 256, the children of John Doyle and Mary Ann Smith were [1] James Thomas Doyle b1893; [2] John Joseph Doyle b1895; [3] Caven Francis Doyle b1898; [4] Percival Baden Doyle b1901; [5] Laurence Andrew Doyle b1905, and also that John Doyle their father was also known as John Joseph Doyle. So it is possible that Caven [ie phonetic Kevin with an accent] Francis Doyle placed this headstone to the memory of his father John [joseph] Doyle and his brother John Joseph Doyle, making this a second headstone for them, to go with their headstone (2) already discussed in Note 256. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/doyle_john_j_sen._&_jnr.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/doyle_john,_john_joseph_&_mary_ann.jpg Although she has no headstone [at least on the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (1), there is another Mary
Ann Doyle buried in Willaston Cemetery, and this should not be confused with our Mary Ann married to John Doyle [Notes 256, 257]. As can be seen on the Town of Gawler’s Burial Register, this other Mary Ann Doyle, aged 75 yrs and who last resided in Gawler South, was buried 1 June 1912 in Willaston Cemetery’s Plot/Grave/Niche 51 P 3, with Father O'Neill officiating (2). Mary Ann Doyle Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when she died in Adelaide in 1912, the nominated relative was her late husband Joseph Doyle (3), making her year of birth to be c1837. The Joseph Doyle Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1859, a Joseph Doyle married Mary Moony (3). Back on the Town of Gawler website, Joseph Doyle aged 59 yrs who last resided in Gawler South was buried 7 Jan 1895 in the same Willaston Cemetery plot as his wife, 51 P 3, with Rev Prior Murphy officiating (4). Joseph Doyle’s estimated year of birth is therefore c1836. Neither birth is recorded at RootsWeb, nor on the LDS Website. Joseph Doyle’s death is confirmed in his death notice: “Editor’s Notes: The late Mr Joseph Doyle: The late Mr Joseph Doyle, who died on Saturday last at the age of 59, was an old identity of Gawler South, and a colonist of 38 years. He was good natured and plodding, and much respected by his neighbours and fellow workmen. He was a member of the Gawler Branch of the Hibernian Catholic Benefit Society, and several officers were present at the funeral which took place on Monday. A widow and a large family are left” Bunyip, Friday 18 January 1895 p2 (5). And also: “Doyle. On the 12th January, at Gawler, Joseph, the dearly beloved husband of Mary Doyle. He leaves 6 sons and 2 daughters, father of Miss M Doyle of North Adelaide, colonist of 38 years” Advertiser, Tuesday 22 January 1895 p7 (6). A search on ‘all Doyle’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Joseph Doyle and Mary Moony reveals that together they had a total of 9 children {mother’s name in brackets} [1] Edwin Doyle b1864 {Mary Mooney} in Adelaide; [2] Mary Anne Doyle b1865 {Mary Mooney} in Adelaide; [3] Joseph Doyle b1867 {Mary Mooney} in the Barossa District; [4] Edward Doyle b1868 {Mary Mooney} in the Barossa District; [5] James Thomas Doyle b1870 {Mary Mooney} in the Barossa District; [6] Catherine Doyle b1874 {Mary Mooney} in the Barossa District; [7] Dennis Doyle b1874 {Mary Mooney} in the Barossa District; [8] Dominick Doyle b1876 {Mary Moonay} in the Port Gawler District; [9] Mary Lavinia Doyle b1879 {Mary Mooney} in the Port Gawler District (3). Although some are namesakes of those mentioned on headstones, they are not the right matches for Mary Ann Doyle born c1869 who married John. Interestingly, Mary’s maiden name with the children’s births is Mooney 8 times, and Moonay once, but never Moony as it appears on the Marriage Index (3). And just to make it all the more confusing, her name on her death notice: “Doyle: On the 30th May, Mary Ellen, widow of the late Joseph Doyle of Gawler, aged 75 years, dearly beloved mother, leaving two daughters, five sons: Mrs K Cunningham of WA; Thomas Doyle of Sydney; John Doyle of Gawler, colonist of 59 years” The Advertiser, Wednesday 3 July 1912 p8 (7). So was she ever called Mary Ann except on the Town of Gawler Burial Register? Maybe all this is in vain and she never was another Mary Ann Doyle, rather a Mary Ellen Doyle, or even just Mary Doyle. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31930 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30761 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97573768?searchTerm=John%20Doyle&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/73204478?searchTerm=John%20Doyle%20Gawler&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5306325?searchTerm=John%20Doyle&searchLimits= 262 Catherine Draper died aged 65 yrs on 12 Aug 1934; her husband Charles Draper died aged 76 yrs on 24 Feb 1945; their elder son Fred Douglas Draper died aged 13 yrs on 22 Sept 1913 (1). The Charles Draper Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Hindmarsh District in 1892 Charles Draper married Catherine Eyers (2). Catherine Draper dies: “Death: Draper: On the 12th August at her residence, №.6 Fifth street, Gawler South, Catherine, dearly beloved wife of Charles Draper, aged 65 years” Bunyip, Friday 17 August 1934 p3 (3). Charles Draper dies: “Deaths: Draper: On February 24, at Fifth street, Gawler South, Charles, husband of the late Catherine Draper and deariy loved father of Millicent, Doris, Andy, Bruce, and Olive, leaving nine grandchildren and one great-grandchIld, aged 76 years” News (Adelaide), Saturday 24 February 1945 p6 (4). Fred Douglas Draper dies: “Death: Draper: On the 22nd September, at Dr Dawes' Private Hospital, Gawler, Fred Douglas, the dearly-loved son of Charles and Catherine Draper, of Willaston, aged 13 years” Bunyip, Friday 3 October 1913 p2 (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Charles Draper was born on 11 Jun 1868 in Gawler to parents John Draper and Lucy Charlotte Batchelder (6), Fred Douglas Draper was born as Douglas Fred Draper on 20 Sep 1900 in Bertha SA to parents Charles Draper and Catherine Eyers (7), and Catherine Eyers was born on 25 Apr 1869 in Bertha SA to parents George Eyers and Catherine Holdway (8). So all their dates of birth are found and all their dates of death are confirmed 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/draper_catherine,_charles_&_fred_douglas.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96647353?searchTerm=catherine%20draper&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/127294283?searchTerm=charles%20draper&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97562085?searchTerm=fred%20douglas%20draper&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I531129 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I481891 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I697742 263 Mary Dreckow died aged 81 yrs on 2 Dec 1936; wife of the late Christian Dreckow (1), making her year of birth c1855. The Christian Dreckow Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Gilbert District in 1874, Christian Dreckow married Maria Lehmann (2). “Deaths: Dreckow: On the 2nd December, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs JE Brady, Gawler East, Mary, widow of Christian Dreckow, formerly of Clare, in her 82nd year” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 10 December 1936 p58 (3). On the LDS website, Maria Lehmann was born on 16 Apr 1856 in Cockatoo Valley SA to parents Friedrich Lehmann (born 21 Jan 1819 Milkersdorf, Cottbus, Prussia, died 1880 SA) and Anna Domaschenz (born 6 Apr 1819 Werben, Cottbus, Prussia, died 1880 SA) who had married on 18 Feb 1855 in Hope Valley SA. Maria Lehmann was married on 24 Jul 1874 at Peters Hill SA to Christian Dreckow (b1851 Sielow, Lower Lusatia, Prussia, died 6 Mar 1915 Cleve SA). The children of Christian Dreckow and Maria Lehmann were [1] Amelia Lydia Dreckow born 8 Dec 1874 nr Riverton SA; [2] Gustav Dreckow born 30 Jul 1876 SA; [3] Louise Caroline Dreckow born 21 Nov 1878 SA; [4] Gustav Eduard Dreckow born 6 Oct 1880 SA; [5] Christoph Theodor Dreckow b1883; [6] Annie Mary Dreckow born 1 May 1885 Saddleworth SA; [7] Martha Emma Dreckow born 30 Aug 1887 nr Saddleworth; [8] Frederick Wilhelm Dreckow born 25 Feb 1890 Saddleworth; [9] Edith Annie Dreckow born 30 Jan 1893 Saddleworth; [10] Esther Alexas Dreckow born 30 May 1897 Eudunda SA; [11] Hedwig Esther Sarah Dreckow born 17 Dec 1899 Head of Lindley SA (4). Further information on the LDS website about the family of Christian Dreckow and Maria Lehmann: Christian Dreckow’s parents were Martin Dreckow and Marie Anne Gardi; about their children: [2] Gustav Dreckow was married on 1 Mar 1905 in Morgan SA to Annie Louise Stubing; [5] Christoph Theodor Dreckow was married on 21 Aug 1912 in Carrieton SA to Clara Elisabeth Steinke; [7] Martha Emma Dreckow was married on 14 May 1910 in Port Lincoln to Herbert Bubois (5). So Mary Dreckow was

actually 80 years old when she died, in her 81st year, and not aged 81 yrs in her 82 year 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dreckow_mary.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92347557?searchTerm=dreckow%20mary&searchLimits= 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I180043&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F75625&tree=SouthAustralia Clifford Charles Drewett died aged 34 yrs on 24 June 1962, husband of Valerie, father of Deborah, Paule, Wayne and Trevor (1). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Clifford Charles Drewett was born on 13 Mar 1928 in York, Adelaide (now Beverley) to parents Percy George Charles Drewett and Nellie Venie Marian Barclay Bennett (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/drewett_clifford_charles.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I492971 EA Driesener (29 July 1883-22 Jan 1952); his wife Emily Driesener (12 Sept 1890- 7 Feb 1977) share this headstone (1). The E Driesener Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1912 in the Barossa District, Ernest August Driesener married Emily Smalley (2). To confirm this new information, a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ernest August Driesener was born Ernst August Dricsener[sic] on 29 Jul 1882 in Gawler River SA to parents Carl Johann Gottlieb Dricsener and Rebecca Henriette Schnaars (3), and Emily Smalley was born on 12 Sep 1890 in Laura SA to parents John Frederick Smalley {born c1852} and Harriet Ann Lock {born c1861} (4). There is a slight problem in the spelling of the surname Diesener, and the date of birth on the headstone is exactly one year out, with day and month correct, but there is little doubt we have the right man marrying the right woman. I’m confident that EA Driesener is Ernest August Driesener. “Deaths: Driesener: On January 22, Ernest August, beloved husband of Emily Driesener, of Willaston, and loved father of Murray, Ann, Estelle and Lois, aged 69 years” The Advertiser, Thursday 24 January 1952 p16 (5). So the death notice confirms his correct age of 69 years, implying their knowledge of his correct year of birth, despite what the headstone says. Murray John Driesener (28 Nov 1913-20 March 1992) was the husband of Margaret (6), and presumably the son of Ernest and Emily Driesener as noted on EA’s Death Notice. Back on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Murray John Driesener was born on 28 Nov 1913 in Gawler to parents Ernest August Driesener and Emily Smalley (7), confirming not only his parentage, but his date of birth. Gretl Driesener [formerly Serianz nee Matzl] (15 Aug 1901- 26 Nov 1991) was a wife and mother (8). Unfortunately there are no SA births up to 1928 with surname Matzl, and none with a first name Gretl of any surname. There is no mention of Matzl on GenealogySA, and the only mention of the surname Serianz on GenealogySA is on the ‘all Serianz’ Death Index that says that, in Adelaide in 1953, Charles Arthur Serianz died (9). A Trove search uncovers no references of Gretl Matzl, Gretl Serianz, or Gretl Driesener. The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser Newspaper shows one for Gretl (Margaret) Driessener[sic] on 28 Nov 1991 (10). My feeling is that Gretl Driesener is actually the Margaret Driesener who was married to Murray John Driesener (6). Charles Arthur Serianz who died in 1953 is also buried in Willaston Cemetery. So Charles Arthur Serianz was married to Gretl (Margaret) Matzl, neither of whom were born in SA, after 1953, Murray John Driesener married the widowed Gretl (Margaret) Serianz nee Matzl. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/driesener_e.a._&_emily.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I595760 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I343474 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47391887?searchTerm=driesener%20Ernst&searchLimits= 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/driesener_murray_john.jpg 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I493017 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/driesener_gretl.jpg 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 10 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html Josef Duczek was born on 23 Jan 1909, and died 2 March 1977; his wife Josephine Duczek was born on 19 March 1912, and died on 24 Aug 1985; Tony Duczek was born on 13 June 19__, and died 20 Nov 19__, our dear parents and grandparents (1), and yet again the quality of the headstone photo has been thwarted by objects in the foreground. From this one must assume the grandparents are Josephine and Josef who were born in 1912 and 1909 respectively both in Campulung, Rumania, and came here c1950: “Naturalization: We, Josef and Josefina Duczek, of Rumanian nationality, born at Campulung, Rumania, resident in Australia for 4½ years, now residing at 48 Fourteenth Street, Gawier, South Australia, intend to apply for naturalization under the Nationality and Citizenship Act, 1948-1952” Bunyip, Friday 4 June 1954 p6 (2). Tony must have been a parent, as there was no way he could be older than Josephine and Josef and be still born in the 1900s. Presumably the plural “parents” is anticipating mother to follow at some stage. According to the Newspaper Death Notices Index at GenealogySA, Tony [I guess most likely male, but maybe female] died in 1994 (3). But there is very little other info re a Tony, Anton nor Anthony Duczek. May be a surname change or mistake involved. Mr and Mrs J Duczek had a son 9th December 1953, but cannot be Tony as the month and day are wrong on the memorial inscription: “Duczek: At Rowan, to Mr and Mrs J Duczek, of Norwood, on Dec 9, a son” News (Adelaide), Tuesday 15 December 1953 p3 (4). The Savill Index of Advertiser Funeral Notices records Josephine Duczek’s notice on 7 Sept 1985, which fits the headstone, a Janek [Jack] Duczek on 15 Aug 2007; and a Gwendoline Mary Duczek on 7 Sept 1985 (5). A search on the National Archives of Australia website doesn’t help 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/duczek_josef,_josephine_&_tony.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/131240531?searchTerm=Duczek&searchLimits= 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96902976?searchTerm=Duczek&searchLimits=l-title=371 5 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html Carl AT Duldig (18 Feb 1892--17 Feb 1969); his wife Louise Mathilda Duldig (20 April 1897--8 Dec 1985) (1). The Carl A Duldig Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1918 in the Kapunda District, Carl August Theodor Duldig married Louise Mathilde Jenke (2). The ‘all Duldig’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Carl August Theodor Duldig and Louise Mathilde Jenke shows 4 children up to 1928: [1] Margaret Joyce Duldig b1919; [2] Avis Doreen Duldig b1920; [3] Maureen June Duldig b1925; [4] Maxwell John Duldig b1928 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people confirms that Carl August Theodore Duldig was born on 18 Feb 1892 in Baldina SA to parents Gustav Duldig and Caroline Wilhelmina Schuppan (3), and Louise Mathilda Jenke was born on 20 Apr 1897 in Eudunda SA to parents August Jenke and Maria Martha Schaefer (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/duldig_carl_a.t._&_louise_mathilda.jpg

The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Friedrick Wilhelm Duldig died on 18 May 1933 (2), but although it may look like 1933, it is actually 1953. This is shown by his Death Notice: “Deaths: Duldig: On May 18, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Friederich Wilhelm, beloved husband of the late Martha Duldig, aged 76 years” Chronicle (Adelaide) Thursday 21 May 1953 p38 (3). Mrs Duldig’s 1937 death is confirmed: “Deaths: Duldig: On the 15th of September, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Martha, beloved wife of Frederick William Duldig, of 18 Fifth street, Gawler South, in her 58th year” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 23 September 1937 p30 (4). The ‘all Duldig’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1902 in the Burra District, Friedrich Wilhelm Duldig married Johanna Louise Martha Rooke (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Friedrich Wilhelm Duldig was born Frederick William Duldig on 12 Dec 1876 in Baldina SA to parents Frederick Duldig and Louisa Schuppan (6), and Johanna Louise Martha Rooke was most likely Martie Rooke [female], who was born on 3 Oct 1879 SA to parents Gottlieb Rookey {born Johann Gottlieb Rooke c1837} and Louisa Sachs {born c1853} (7). The Late Mr W Duldig: The death occurred on Monday morning, after a short illness, of Mr William Duldig, a resident of Gawler for the past 20 years. Prior to coming to this town he had lived, except for a period of six years in 'Tarnma’, at Baldina, where he was born 76 years ago. His wife, Martha, nee Rooke, to whom he was married in 1902, predeceased him in 1937. Surviving him are two brothers (WH Duldig, Adelaide; FJ Duldig, Willaston; and four sisters (Mrs EW Pfitzner, Eudunda; Mrs H Schwarz, Eudunda; Mrs E Hansen, Eudunda; and Mrs Noll, Wilmington). The funeral took place at the Willaston cemetery on Tuesday, Pastor GO Minge, of Zion Lutheran Church, officiating” Bunyip, Friday 22 May 1953 p3. I cannot ascertain the precise birth date of Johanna Louise Martha Duldig nee Rooke 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/duldig_martha_&_friedrick_wilhelm.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93938749?searchTerm=martha%20duldig&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92490400?searchTerm=martha%20duldig&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I564082 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I213279 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96900460?searchTerm=rooke%20duldig%201902&searchLimits= 269 Kenneth Duldig died aged 25 yrs on 19 Aug 1955; his father Friedrich Johannes Duldig died aged 91 yrs on 28 Dec 1986; and his mother Emma Mathilde Duldig died aged 98 yrs on 22 Nov 1998 (1), making their years of birth c1930, c1895 and c1900 respectively. The ‘all Duldig’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1921 in the Kapunda District, Friedrich Johannes Duldig married Emma Mathilde Geister (2), and the Birth Index shows that there were 4 children born (up to 1928) to parents Friedrich Johannes Duldig and Emma Mathilda Geister all in the Burra District [1] Gladys Ivy Duldig b1921; [2] Melva Eileen Duldig b1922; [3] Viola Joyce Duldig b1924; [4] Roma Pearl Duldig b1925 (2). A general Google search reveals the website “Lehmann Hanschke - Person Sheet” shows that Emma Mathilda Geister was born 1900 SA to parents Ernst Gottlieb Geister (1864-1905) and Ida Wilhelmine Mathilde Gertig (1871-1945). She was married in 1921 SA to Friedrich Johannes Duldig who was born to parents Friedrich Duldig (1851-1942) and Louise Schuppan (18561923) (3). This means that Friedrich Johannes Duldig was the brother of Friedrich Wilhelm Duldig [see Note 268], despite the 20 yrs difference in age. According to the LDS data, Friedrich Duldig was born on 22 Mar 1851 at Tauer, Lower Lusatia, Prussia and died on 7 Jun 1943 in Eudunda SA. His parents were Johann Duldig (born 11 Nov 1825 Tauer, Prussia, died 23 Apr 1912 Peters Hill SA) and Ann Nagora (born 30 Aug 1831 Tauer, died after 1916 SA), who were married before 1852 in Tauer. Friedrich Duldig arrived in SA in 1856 aboard the Helene, and was a farmer who had lived in Peters Hill, Worlds End Ck and Eudunda. He was married aged 23 yrs on 17 Feb 1876 in Glandore SA to Louisa Schuppan aged 19 yrs (born 18 Nov 1856 Tauer, Prussia to parents Johann Schuppan and Anna Domsch, and Louisa died 4 Jun 1923 in Eudunda SA). The children of Friedrich Duldig and Louisa Schuppan seems to have included [1] Frederick William Duldig born 12 Dec 1876 Baldina SA, died 1953; [2] Johann Alfred Duldig b1878, died 1933; [3] Anna Emilie Duldig born 3 Mar 1880 Head of Baldina, died 8 Jul 1910 Eudunda; [4] Maria Ida Duldig [or Mary Elsie Duldig] b1881, died 26 Apr 1972 SA; [5] Carl [Charley] Edwin Duldig born 7 Dec 1883 Baldina, died 1945; [6] Bertha Ottilie Duldig born 20 Aug 1885 Baldina, died 1972; [7] Anna Caroline Duldig born 27 Apr 1887 Baldina, died 4 May 1890 Kooringa SA; [8] Anna Selma Duldig born 1 Mar 1889 Baldina; [9] Walter Herbert Duldig born 1890, died 1958; [10] Oswald Rudolph Duldig born 2 Nov 1893 Baldina, died 1917; [11] Friedrich Johannes Duldig born 1896; [12] Louis Theodor Duldig born 8 Jun 1897 Baldina, died 1947; [13] Esther Louise Duldig born 18 Aug 1899 Baldina, died 20 Feb 1900 Baldina; [14] Helene Alwine Duldig born 24 Mar 1902 Worlds End SA (4).A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Gerhard George Duldig was born on 2 Mar 1913 in Springton SA to parents Johann Alfred Edwin Duldig and Friedrike Wilhelmine Georg (5). Hence he was the grandson of Friedrich Duldig and Louisa Schuppan via their second son Johann Alfred Duldig. A search on the LDS website reveals that Emma Mathilda Geister was born on 18 Nov 1900 at Neales Flat SA to parents Ernst Gottlib Geister (born 9 Jun 1864 nr Stockwell SA, died 18 Oct 1905 Neales Flat) and Ida Wilhelmine Mathilde Gertig (born on 13 Sep 1873 Head of English SA) who had married on 21 Feb 1895 at Bundey SA (6). But for different reasons I cannot ascertain the precise birth dates of Friedrich Johannes Duldig and his son Kenneth Duldig 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/duldig_kenneth,_friedrich_johannes_&_emma_mathilde.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS199/PS199_280.HTM 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I162291&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I493922 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I262018&tree=SouthAustralia 270 Leslie Harold Duncan died 10 November 1976; his wife Eileen Duncan died 1 March 1999 (1), without their ages or dates of birth being given. The Leslie Duncan Marriage Index at GenealogySA does not exist, so we can look for their marriage using Trove. The Bunyip reported that “Leslie Harold, eldest son of Mr LS Duncan MP and Mrs Duncan of Cameron street, Gawler married Eileen, only daughter of Mr and Mrs FA Cooper of Gawler East on Saturday 27 April 1940” Bunyip, Friday 3 May 1940 p5 (4), giving us Eileen’s maiden name. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Leslie Harold Duncan was born on 20 Mar 1910 in Bordertown SA to parents Leslie Samuel Duncan and Mabel Emily Jory (3), and Eileen Cooper was born on 2 Apr 1907 in Hindmarsh, Adelaide to parents Frederick Ashley Cooper and Ellen Shearing (4), making Leslie Harold Duncan 66 yrs old and Eileen Duncan nee Cooper almost 92 yrs old when they died.

There is no Leslie Samuel Duncan Birth Index or Marriage Index on GenealogySA, indicating that he may have been born elsewhere. We know from Note 270 that Leslie Samuel Duncan and Mabel Emily nee Jory were the parents of Leslie Harold Duncan, who was born at Bordertown. According to the Bunyip, Mr Leslie Samuel Duncan arrived in Gawler in 1917, and was Editor of the Bunyip from then until 1946. He was an MP for many years. He was born on 20th August 1880 at Natimuk in Victoria. He left his wife, whom as Mabel E Jory, he wed in December 1905, three sons Leslie, Alan and Douglas and daughter Joan. At the funeral pallbearers included the SA Premier, Leader of the Opposition and Mr KL Barnet. See the full obituary in the Bunyip, Friday 29 February 1952 p1 (2). “Social: The marriage of Mr LS Duncan, fifth son of Mrs Duncan senr, of Natimuk, with Miss ME Jory, second daughter of Mrs R Jory, of Natimuk, took place in the local Methodist Church on Wednesday, 27th December, the Rev TJ Payne officiating. The presents were numerous and costly, including a handsome clock to the bride from the Methodist Church and a piece of plate from the Sunday school, the bridegroom being presented with a teasel by the Eden hope Presbyterian Church choir, and a silver fruit stand by the Edenhope Brass Band” The Horsham Times (Vic), Tuesday 9 January 1906 p1 (3). There is no Mabel Emily Jory Birth Index at GenealogySA and their Marriage Report seems to explain this – she came from Victoria also. Leslie Samuel Duncan and Mabel Emily Jory had 6 children born in SA [1] Mabel Emily Duncan b1909 in the Wellington District; [2] Leslie Harold Duncan b1910 in the Wellington District; [3] Rosina Isabella Duncan b1912 [mother named Mabel Emily Jury] in the Wellington District; [4] Alan Roderick Duncan b1916 in the Angaston District; [5] Douglas Graham Duncan b1918 in the Barossa District; [6] Joan Margaret Duncan b1925 in the Barossa District (4). “The death occurred on Wednesday of Mrs Mabel Emily Duncan, widow of the late Mr LS Duncan MP. She had been a patient sufferer during a long illness. There remain sons Leslie, Alan, Doug, and daughter Joan. Mrs Duncan was 72 years of age. Her burial took place yesterday afternoon at Willaston Cemetery where Rev AR Broadbent conducted the grave-side service” Bunyip, Friday 2 October 1953 p1 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Rosina Isabella Duncan was born on 12 Jul 1912 in Bordertown SA to parents Leslie Samuel Duncan and Mabel Emily Jury (6). According to her comprehensive obituary in the Bunyip, she was Miss Rosina Isabelle (Ena) Duncan, 25 and was visiting her parents, Mr and Mrs LS Duncan, of Cameron street, Gawler when suddenly struck ill and died within six days. She was a well-respected nursing sister who worked with maimed and afflicted children in the Junior Red Cross Home at Henley Beach. Bunyip of Friday 20 August 1937 p5 (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/duncan_leslie_samuel,_mabel_emily_&_rosina_isabella.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96896148?searchTerm=Duncan&searchLimits=l-title=371 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/72819199?searchTerm=Jory%20Duncan&searchLimits=l-decade=190 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96900713?searchTerm=Duncan&searchLimits=l-title=371 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I494037 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96687466?searchTerm=Duncan&searchLimits=l-title=371 272 John Clifton Duncan died aged 71 yrs on 26 Jan 1982, there’s some writing at the bottom of the headstone obscured by some flowers (1). Whether it ‘loved father of’ or ‘loved son of’ etc, only someone who moved the flowers would know. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that John Clifton Duncan was born John Clifton Feltus Duncan on 5 Feb 1910 in Malvern, Adelaide to parents Frederick Richmond Duncan and Agnes Mary Burke (2). An ‘all Duncan’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Frederick Richmond Duncan and Agnes Mary Burke shows 11 children, all born in the Flinders District, except John Clifton Feltus Duncan who was born in Adelaide [1] Robert Richmond Duncan b1898; [2] Alice Ada Duncan b1900; [3] Frederick Richmond Alexander Duncan b1905; [4] William Henry Duncan b1906; [5] Marjorie Agnes Nellie Duncan b1908; [6] John Clifton Feltus Duncan b1910; [7] Thomas Percival Duncan b1912; [8] Mavis Susan Duncan b1914; [9] Harold Douglas Duncan b1916; [10] Clarence Herbert Duncan b1916; [11] Berenice May Duncan b1920 (3). Robert R Duncan died aged 70 yrs on 28 Oct 1968; his wife Kate E Duncan died aged 78 yrs on 8 May 1984, parents of Roma, Elaine and Ann (4). Robert R Duncan is the Robert Richmond noted above, the eldest brother John Clifton Feltus Duncan. The Robert Richmond Duncan Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in Adelaide in 1927 to Kate Edith Gill (3). Back on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Robert Richmond Duncan was born on 2 Jul 1898 in Streaky Bay SA to parents Frederick Richmond Duncan and Agnes Mary Burke (5), and Kate Edith Gill was born as Edith Kate Gill in 1906 in Blinman SA to parents Alfred Gill and Anabella Morrison (6). On a website dedicated to the Lyons family history, there is a page for the genealogy of George Emery Lyons Sr which has details of the family of Robert Richmond Duncan and Kate Edith Gill. Here they say that Robert Richmond Duncan was born on 2 Jul 1898 in Streaky Bay SA and died on 28 Oct 1968. He was married on 19 Apr 1927 to Kate Edith Gill who was born on 11 Jan 1906. The children of Robert Richmond Duncan and Kate Edith Gill were [1] Roma Aileen Duncan who married William Brown; [2] Elaine Grace Duncan who married Eugene Mudge; [3] Margaret Ann Duncan who married Desmond Richard Symons (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/duncan_john_clifton.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I494028 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/duncan_robert_r_&_kate_e.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I472703 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I273921 7 http://lyonshistory.org/familygroup.php?familyID=F1747&tree=main 273 Jean Dunchue died aged 10 days on 15 Feb 1916, daughter of Hugh and Myrtle Dunchue, grand daughter of William Alfred and Emma Greaves. Sharing the headstone are William Alfred Greaves who died aged 34 yrs and 11 mths on 14 May 1897; and also another of his grandchildren Jack Faehse, son of Rupert and Ruby Faehse who died aged 9 wks on 27 Nov 1917 (1). The ‘all Dunchue’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Hugh Dunchue and Myrtle __ shows 3 children born to Hugh Tye Dunchue and Myrtle Olive Greaves [1] Cameron William Montague Dunchue b1916 in Adelaide; [2] Jean Tye Dunchue b1916 in the Barossa District; [3] Betty Joan Dunchue b1921 in the Strathalbyn District (2). It seems odd that 2 children born in the same year to the same parents, and hence most likely twins, can be born in separate places. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Jean Tye Dunchue was born on 7 Feb 1916 in Gawler (3), Cameron William Montague Dunchue was born on 26 Dec 1916 in Parkside, Adelaide (4), and Betty Joan Dunchue was born on 6 Feb 1921 in Strathalbyn SA, all three born to parents Hugh Tye Dunchue

{born 18 Jul 1887 in Port Pirie SA} and Myrtle Olive Greaves {born 14 Feb 1889 near Willaston SA} (5). So they weren’t twins but sequential born nearly 11 months apart. But Jean died on the 9th day, not the 10th day. This is confirmed by the newspaper notices: “Birth: Dunchue: On February 7th, 1916, at "Navarina,' Jacob street, Gawler, the wife of Hugh Tye Dunchue — a daughter (Jean Tye)” and “Deaths: Dunchue: On 15th February, at Gawler, Jean Tye, beloved infant daughter of Mr and Mrs Hugh Tye Dunchue, aged nine days” Bunyip, Friday 18 February 1916 p2 (6). It’s the headstone that made the error saying 10 days 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dunchue_jean.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I494130 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I494131 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I494135 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97733736?searchTerm=jean%20dunchue&searchLimits= Hannah Margaret Dunn died aged 17 mths on 26 Feb 1885; Patrick Wilfred Dunn died aged 17 yrs on 27 Oct 1898 (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Hannah Margaret died in 1886 (2), but although hard to read, it looks more like 1885 to me. The only record at GenealogySA for Hannah Margaret Dunn is on the Death Index which confirms that she died in the the Barossa District in 1885, and the nominated relative was her father John Dunn (3). On a separate face of the Dunn obelisk, John James Dunn died aged 74 yrs on 9 Sept 1924; his wife Mary A Dunn died aged 84 yrs on 18 Jan 1934 (4), meaning that both their years of birth were c1850. There is no Hannah Margaret Dunn, nor Patrick Wilfred Dunn, Birth Index on GenealogySA, nor is there a John James Dunn Marriage Index to a Mary A __. It is like they didn’t exist in SA until they died, so maybe they were not born in SA. They certainly died here: The Town of Gawler’s Burial Register shows John James Dunn was buried at Willaston Cemetery in Plot/Grave/Niche 21 D 3, on 11 Sept 1924 aged 72 years, confirming he died in 1924 (5). Mary Ann Dunn shares her husband’s Plot/Grave/Niche 21 D 3. She was buried 19 Jan 1934, aged 83 years (6). “Deaths: Dunn: On September 9, at his residence, Todd street, Gawler, John J Dunn, the dearly beloved father of Sister B Dunn, Semaphore; John, of Mount Lyall, Tasmania, AIF; Chris, Castlemaine, Victoria, AIF; Joe, Bowmans, AIF; and Mrs MA Leonard, of Parkside.

A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there are 6 Dunn births in pre-1928 SA with Christian name[s] that include Maxwell. The most likely on dates is Mervyn Maxwell Dunn who was born on 28 Nov 1921 in Wirrabara SA to parents John Francis Dunn and Olive Janet Coad (2). This name is confirmed by the Town of Gawler’s Burial Records which shows that Mervyn Maxwell Dunn aged 42 yrs who last resided in Willaston was buried on 31 Aug 1964 in Wllaston Cemetery’s Plot/Grave/Niche 25 KK 2, with Rev WJ Strafford officiating (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dunn_maxwell_m..jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I494500 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34492 Sarah Eileen Dunn died aged 70 yrs on 29 May 1962; her husband James Andrew Dunn died aged 83 yrs on 10 Jan 1970 (1), making their years of birth c1892 and c1887 respectively. The James Andrew Dunn Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1909 he married Sarah O’Leary (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Sarah O’Leary was born as Sarah Heirlina O’Leary on 13 Feb 1892 in Templers SA to parents James O’Leary and Sarah Ann Hatch (4), but no suitable James Andrew Dunn birth is shown [only one in 1897]. The ‘all Dunn’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of James Andrew Dunn and Sarah O’Leary [1] Lawrence Dunn b1909 in the Barossa District; [2] Myra Jean Dunn b1912 in the Port Gawler District; [3] Jack Dunn b1914 in the Port Gawler District; [4] Doreen Mary Dunn b1916 in the Port Gawler District; [5] William Joseph Dunn b1918 in the Barossa District; [6] Leo Michael Dunn b1920 in the Barossa District; [7] Catherine Veronica Dunn b1923 in the Barossa District; [8] Honorah Dorothy Dunn b1925 in the Barossa District; [9] Betty Barbara Dunn b1928 in the Barossa District (2).

The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Martin died on 22.012.1981 (2), instead of 22.12.1981. Sid or Sidney Dunnage does not register on GenealogySA nor on the SA Births data on RootsWeb. In fact I cannot even find this family on Trove 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dunnage_sid_&_martin.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm Alfred C Dunstall has a military plaque as SX19457 Trooper Alfred C Dunstall died 1981-09-14 aged 57, husband of Joan, father of Kathryn, grandpa of Steven and Dee-Anne (1). There is also a headstone for Charles Alfred Dunstall, died 1981-09-14 aged 57, husband of Joan and father of Kathryn (2). These are obviously the same person, with identical days of death and age with similar names. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Charles Alfred Dunstall was born on 19 Aug 1924 in Brighton, Adelaide to parents Edgar William Dunstall and Thelma May Williams (3). The Savill Index of Funeral Notices in the Advertiser has one for Charles Alfred (Alf) Dunstall on 15 Sept 1981 (4). Just for completeness, the World War 2 Nominal Roll shows
the Service Record of Alfred Charles Dunstall who was born on 19 Aug 1924 in Brighton SA and was living in Solomontown SA when he enlisted on 20 Apr 1943 in the Australian Army at Wayville SA, with next of kin given as Edgar Dunstall. Private Dunstall was discharged on 13 Apr 1945 from 34 Australian Infantry Training Battalion (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dunstall_alfred_c..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dunstall_charles_alfred.jpg 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I494739 4 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html 5 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=682644 279 Kathleen Jean Durdin nee Skurray was born 23 Aug 1908 and died 25 July 2000; her husband Robert Murray Allen Durdin was born 29 April 1933??, died 22 July 1958; William Henry Durdin was born 18 April 1959, died 20 July 1972 (1). This is quite confusing, it seems Robert Murray Allen Durdin was 24 years younger than Kathleen, and William Henry Durdin, who may was their son [although this would mean her giving birth at age 50 years old] was only 13 yrs old when he died (1). So why does not the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery also have an entry for Robert Murray Allen Durdin (2)? Kathleen Jean Skurray appears on the Birth Index at GenealogySA as being born in 1908 to parents William Arthur Skurray and Louisa Amanda Haese in the Port Gawler District (3), and the Kathleen Jean Skurray Marriage Index shows she was married in the Barossa District to Robert Murray Allen in 1933 (3). So it isn’t Robert Murray Allen Durdin [despite the name Durdin at the head of the headstone], just Robert Murray Allen. The dates appearing below Robert and William Henry are marriage dates; ie Kathleen and Robert married in 1933 and the marriage ends in 1958, when he died. The only Robert Murray Allen on the Birth Index at GenealogySA shows he was born 1882 to parents Samuel Allen and Lydia Dennison in the Encounter Bay District (3), and his Death Index reveals he died in 1958 in Gawler, with his next of kin being wife KJ Allen (3). The William Henry Durdin Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in 1884 to parents Jesse Durdin and Emma Cant in the Yankalilla District (3), and the William Henry Durdin Marriage Index shows that he was first married to Clara Kezia Emily Eva Branson [in 1910] (3). The Clara Kezia Emily Eva Durdin Death Index shows she died in 1948 (3). So William Henry Durdin (widower) linked up with Kathleen Jean Allen nee Skurray (widow), although I cannot find record of this union under her Allen or Skurray names. Their union lasted from 1959 until William Henry Durdin [with wife Kathleen Jean Durdin named as relative] died in 1972 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Kathleen Jean Skurray was born on 23 Aug 1908 in Gawler to parents William Arthur Skurray and Louisa Amanda Haese (4), and William Henry Durdin was born on 24 Aug 1884 in Little Gorge, Rapid Bay SA to parents Jesse Durdin and Emma Cant (5), and just for completeness, Robert Murray Allen was born on 30 Oct 1882 in Goolwa SA to parents Samuel Allen and Lydia Dennison (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/cd/durdin_kathleen_jean_%28nee_skurray%29_&_william_henry.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I658843 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I393280 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I526185 280 Clarice B Durnell died aged 90 yrs on 31 Dec 1982 (1), making her year of birth to be c1892. Was she married, and if so, what was her maiden name? (1). The ‘all Durnell’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA doesn’t show a marriage of a Mr Durnell to a Clarice B __ (2), but the Clarice B Durnell Birth Index shows that in the Hindmarsh District, Clarice Beryl Durnell was born in 1892 to parents Tom George Durnell and Martha Jane Hawke (2). To find her precise date of birth, a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Clarice Beryl Durnell was born on 8 Oct 1892 in Hindmarsh, Adelaide to parents Tom George Durnell and Martha Jane Hawke (3). The ‘all Durnell’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Tom George Durnell and Martha Jane Hawke reveals five children born to Thomas [or Tom] George Durnell and Martha Jane Hawke, the first 4 born in the Hindmarsh District, and the last born in the Port Gawler District [1] Garnet Victor Durnell b1886; [2] Vera Clive Durnell b1888; [3] Clarice Beryl Durnell b1892; [4] Harry George Durnell b1901; [5] Dora Mary Durnell b1906 (2). On a RootsWeb website, AUS-SAGEN-L Archives, the marriage of Tom George Durnell and Martha Jane Hawke is detailed: the groom Thomas George Durnell, single, aged 25 yrs, father George Durnell and the bride Martha Jane Hawke, single, aged 21 yrs, father Richard Hawke were married on 19 May 1885 at the residence of the bride’s father in Brompton (4). “Marriages: Durnell—Hawke: On the 19th May, at the residents[sic] of the bride's parents, by the Rev T Allan, Thomas George, second son of George Durnell, Shopshire England to Martha Jane, eldest daughter Richard Hawke, Jeffcott street, North Adelaide, and granddaughter of Mr WB Williams, East-street, Brompton” The South Australian Advertiser (Adelaide), Friday 29 May 1885 p4 (5). On a Website called Family Tree Circles, we find details of Clarice Beryl’s sister Vera Clive Durnell: John James Mortimer [buried in Willaston Cemetery] (born 07 May 1866 in Gawler, died aged 70 yrs on 18 September 1936 Gawler) married Vera Clive Durnell on 07 May 1912 at the residence of Mr WH Mortimer, Gawler. Vera Mortimer nee Durnell was born 16 December 1888 in Hindmarsh SA to parents Thomas Durnell and Martha Hawke, and she died aged 80 yrs on 05 August 1969 in Gawler. John and Vera had five children, all born in Gawler [1] John Clive Mortimer born 12 January 1913; [2] Henry William Mortimer born 23 January 1914; [3] Donald Mortimer born 25 October 1916; [4] Mollie Vera Mortimer born 10 March 1918; [5] Vic Mortimer born 11 March 1920 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/durnell_clarice_b.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I441458 4 http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/AUS-SAGEN/2002-05/1020478232 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36307256 6 http://www.familytreecircles.com/u/tonkin/?format=full&sort=doe&next=361 281 John Dwyer died aged 48 yrs on 6? June 1887; his wife Mary Dwyer died aged 88 yrs on 8 Aug 192?6; their children Margaret Dwyer died aged 10 yrs on 20 July 1876; and Peter Joseph Dwyer died aged 9 yrs on 14 Aug 1876; also an unknown person ?Dwyer died in July 1955, also a daughter of John and Mary (1). I’ve had to rely a little on the information given on the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), although I think Peter Joseph Dwyer may have also died aged 8 yrs in 1876, and not 1878 as appears on this site. The Peter Joseph Dwyer Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in the Port Gawler District in 1868 to parents John Dwyer and Mary O’Donald (3), and the Peter Joseph Dwyer Death Index shows that he died in 1876 in the Barossa District, with nominated relative his father John Dwyer (3). The ‘all Dwyer’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Dwyer and Mary O’Donald shows six children born to John Dwyer and Mary O’Donnell (spelling variations of her surname in brackets) [1] Peter Joseph Dwyer b1868 (O’Donald) in the Port Gawler District; [2] Mary Nora Dwyer b1871 in the Port Gawler District; [3] Cornelius Donell Dwyer b1870
(O’Donell) in the Port Gawler District; [4] Patrick Simon Dwyer b1873 in the Barossa District; [5] Ellen Dwyer b1875 in the Barossa District; [6] Ann Maria Dwyer 1878 in the Barossa District (3). Unfortunately, Margaret Dwyer doesn’t appear on the Birth Index as daughter of John and Mary Dwyer, but as the first born, she may have not been born in SA, or her birth may not have been officially registered. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that John Dwyer and Mary O’Donnell only appear on RootsWeb as parents (without dates of birth) of six children, again not including first-born Margaret Dwyer [1] Peter Joseph Dwyer born 20 Feb 1868 at Evanston, near Gawler; [2] Cornelius Donell Dwyer born 16 Jan 1870 in Gawler; [3] Mary Nora Dwyer born 20 Sep 1871 in Gawler; [4] Patrick Simon Dwyer born 12 Oct 1873 at Kangaroo Flat; [5] Ellen Dwyer born 20 Dec 1875 at Kangaroo Flat; [6] Ann Maria Dwyer born 26 Jul 1878 at Kangaroo Flat (4). Regarding the ‘Unknown “Dwyer”’ who died 1955-07??, daughter [A..... .....e] of parents John and Mary Dwyer [I think on the headstone I can make it out to be Anne Marie, but only a guess] (1). The other possibility is that the ‘Unknown’ may be a daughter-in-law, wife of Cornelius or Patrick. Searching old newspapers via Trove shows: “Marriages: Anderson—Dwyer: On the 11th June, at Perth WA, by the Rev Father Smyth, S Anderson, to Annie, youngest daughter of the late Mr J Dwyer, both of Gawler” The Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 18 July 1903 p25 (5), and another Marriage Notice reads: “Anderson – Dwyer: On the 11th June 1903, at the Roman Catholic Cathedral, Perth WA, by the Rev Father Smyth, Stanley GH, youngest son of the late FWR Anderson Esq, barrister and solicitor, Dunedin NZ, and grandson of the late Sir George William and Lady Anderson, Hyde Park, London, to Annie Marie, youngest daughter of the late John Dwyer, Esq, of Gawler SA. Present address, Haselmere, Maylands, Adelaide” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 6 August 1904 p25 (6). The Gawler Council’s Burial Register for Willaston Cemetery is helpful here. Ann Marie Anderson, late of Goodwood Park, was buried 2 Aug 1955 aged 75 in Plot/Grave/Niche 35 C 3. Father Sparkes officiated, and Funeral Director was F Siebert (7). I think this solves the problem – it is Ann Marie Anderson nee Dwyer who is the last obscure name on this headstone. Unfortunately Trove searches of SA papers only goes up till 1954, so I cannot say what date in July 1955 she died, just that she was buried on the 2nd August 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dwyer_john,_margaret,_peter_joseph_&_mary.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I739682 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87883408?searchTerm=Anderson%20Dwyer%20Annie&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88078697?searchTerm=Patrick%20Dwyer%20Annie&searchLimits= 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33799 282 This John Dwyer died aged 69 years on 22 Dec 1930; his wife Mary Dwyer died aged 87 years aged 87 years on 13 Oct 1949 (1). This John and Mary Dwyer family are separate to the other John and Mary Dwyer family researched at Note 281, who did not have a son John. According to the information at the LDS website, John Dwyer was born in 1861 and died 22 Dec 1930 Gawler SA. His residence was given as Blackwood. He married Mary Lally on 6 Oct 1883 in Gawler. Mary Lally was born 27 Sept 1862 to parents Michael Dwyer and Bridget Connelly. She died 13 Oct 1949 Gawler SA. They had 9 children [2 sons, 7 daughters]. These were [1] Ethel Mary Dwyer b 18 Jan 1884 Willaston SA; [2] Florence May Dwyer b 8 May 1886 Willaston; [3] Lily Maud Dwyer b 30 Jul 1887 Willaston; [4] Hannah Dwyer b 25 May 1890 Willaston; [5] Ileen Bridget Dwyer b 10 Aug 1893 Willaston, d 25 Apr 1894 Willaston; [6] Alice Ruby Dwyer b 22 Dec 1894 Willaston; [7] Lawrence Dwyer b 28 May 1898 Willaston; [8] Stella Cecily Dwyer b 27 Apr 1901 Willaston; [9] ‘Living Dwyer’ (2). The ‘all Dwyer’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that the ‘Living’ child was Maurice Dennis Dwyer born in 1905 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Maurice Dennis Dwyer was born on 24 Dec 1905 in Willaston SA to parents John Dwyer and Mary Lally (4), but John Dwyer born c1861 does not appear on the SA births data. Maurice Dwyer died aged 70 yrs on 2 July 1976; his wife Louise Rosa Dwyer died aged 70 yrs on 15 Nov 1981 (5). There is no Maurice Dwyer Marriage Index at GenealogySA and the ‘all Dwyer’ Birth Index shows no children born to Maurice Dwyer and Louise Rosa __. “Engagements: Krieg— Dwyer: The engagement is announced of Rose, second daughter of Mrs and the late Mr PH Krieg of Willaston, to Maurice, younger son of Mrs and the late Mr J Dwyer, of Willaston” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 23 September 1937 p29 (6). Back on RootsWeb, Louise Rosa Krieg was born on 22 Sep 1911 at Gawler River to parents Paul Heinrich Krieg and ClaraHelene Linke (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dwyer_john_&_mary.jpg 2 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I252823&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I498486 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dwyer_maurice_&_louise_rosa.jpg 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92490400?searchTerm=Dwyer%20Maurice%20Louise&searchLimits= 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I566431 283 Harold John Dwyer died aged 71 yrs on 7 April 1963, the son of John and Mary Dwyer (1), making his year of birth c 1892. The Harold John Dwyer Birth Index at GenealogySA does not show any births of that name, but the corresponding Death Index shows that Harold John Dwyer died in the Pirie District in 1963 (2), and the Harold John Dwyer Marriage Index shows that in 1910 in the Barossa District, a Harold John Dwyer was married to Ellacretia May Thomson (2). The Newspaper Death Notices section at GenealogySA shows that Ellacretia May Dwyer died 1973 (2). In fact the Savill Index for funeral notices that have appeared in the Advertiser shows one for Ellacretia Maria May Dwyer on 15 Dec 1973 (3). I have a suspicion that Harold John Dwyer comes from yet another separate family of John and Mary Dwyer from the ones discussed in Note 281 [John Dwyer and Mary O’Donnell stopped having children before John’s 1887 death] and Note 282 [John Dwyer and Mary Lally were busy having children in Willaston in 1892, although it is possible they could have been in Port Pirie for 1892]. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ellacretia May Thomson was born on 13 May 1889 in Greenwich SA to parents William Richard Thomson and Margaret Thomas (4). But the Harold John Dwyer story remains elusive. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dwyer_harold_john.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I155843 284 Alma Vera Dwyer was born 29 May 1900 and died aged 65 yrs on 8 Jan 1966; Roy George Dwyer was born 8 May 1899 and died aged 68 yrs on 22 Oct 1967; parents of Reg, Elaine and Ron (1). The Roy George Dwyer Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Port Gawler District in 1921, Roy George Dwyer married Alma Vera Collin (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Roy George Dwyer was actually born as George Roy Dwyer on 8 May 1899 in Willaston to parents Patrick Simon Dwyer and Annie Amelia Harris (3), and Alma Vera Collin was born on 29 May 1900 at Gawler Plains
(now Smithfield) to parents Benjamin Collin and Sarah Crocker (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dwyer_alma_vera_&_roy_george.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I477169 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I275424 285 Colin Eatts accidently died aged 20 yrs on 18 June 1937, son of F and A Eatts (1). “Another Tragedy on Main North Road: Colin Eatts of Gawier killed; Ellis Eatts seriously injured. Death again stalked the Main North Road at the week-end, two young Gawlerites being the victims of a motor collision, resulting in the death of Colin Eatts, 21, and the most serious injury of his brother, Ellis Eatts, 18. The collision took place on Friday night between a sedan car and the motor cycle ridden by the brothers, the place of contact being at the culvert turn about a mile this side of the Little Para, the hour being round about 10.30 pm. Colin Eatts was most shockingly injured, his head being almost severed by broken glass from the off-side window of the car, and both legs broken. He was killed instantly. Ellis, who sustained a fractured leg in several places and injuries to his head and shoulders, was pitched between an electric supply standard and a fence post. The car ran off into a paddock. A strange thing was that when assistance arrived, the driver of the motor car could not be found, only the two passengers, Francis K Stevens, motor mechanic, of Plympton, and Charles A Matthews, miik vendor of Mile End. Later, Mr Stevens said that he saw the headlights of the motor cycle approaching but did not pay much attention to them. He was sitting in the front seat with the driver, but was twisted around talking to to Mr Matthews when the collision took place. He and Matthews jumped from the car andran to where the two young men were lying. When they looked for the driver, he had disappeared. They gave his name as Eugene VH Cooke, a motor mechanic, 43 yrs, employed by G Wood Sons & Co Ltd. By a strange coincidence, the driver of a lorry, Mr William Duffield, of Hamley Bridge, who only on May 28, had taken the body of Mr Rufus H Boettcher, toolmaker, of Norwood, who was killed in a motor collision, to Adelaide, came along. He could render no assistance at the spot and went on, but about half a mile away, nearer to Adeiaide, he saw a man wandering about in a dazed condition and suffering from injury, and he picked him up and conveyed him near to his home at North terrace. The man, who was bleeding from the head, could not give Mr Duffield a coherent account of how he had been injured. The police located the home of Mr Cooke about 4 am on Saturday. ....” Bunyip, Friday 25 June 1937 p1 (2). Colin Eatts was born as Colin Hartley Eats[sic] on 9 Jul 1916 in Myponga SA to parents Frank Hartley Eats and Annie Matilda Muller (3), and Ellis Eatts was born as Ellis Francis Eats[sic] on 14 Oct 1918 in Myponga to parents Frank Artely[sic] Eats and Annie Matilda Muller (4) Colin Eatts was born as Colin Hartley Eats[sic] on 9 Jul 1916 in Myponga SA to parents Frank Hartley Eats and Annie Matilda Muller (3), and Ellis Eatts was born as Ellis Francis Eats[sic] on 14 Oct 1918 in Myponga to parents Frank Artely[sic] Eats and Annie Matilda Muller (4) 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eatts_colin.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96690517?searchTerm=Colin%20Eatts&searchLimits= 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I495994 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I496000 286 HM (Max) Dyson was an RAAF Aircraftman I who was the loving husband of Audry and loved father of Thelda and Ronald (1). Audry Jean Dyson was the beloved wife of Herbert Maxwell (Max) (2). Herbert Maxwell married Audrey Jean Chapman in 1937 in Hindmarsh (3). Audrey Jean was born 1919 to parents George William Chapman and Olive Chapman nee Jones in Hindmarsh (4) The “e” in “Audrey” seems to be optional 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dyson_h.m._%28max%29.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dyson_audry_jean.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RHlzb24=&g=SGVyYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hhcG1hbg==&g=QXVk&c=&y=&r=MA== 287 The chiselled inscription on this small block of stone is hard to read, and it seems to say May Ebert died on 27 Jan 1948 but after magnification it may be 1949 (1). “Deaths: Ebert (formerly Mrs Ash): On January 27, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Lily May Ebert, of Eighth street, Gawler South, loved mother of Roland, Lance and Daphne, aged 62 years” The Advertiser, Friday 28 January 1949 p16 (2). Now we know she died aged 62 yrs in 1949, we can calculate her year of birth to be c1887. The ‘all Ash’ Birth Index at Genealogy SA seeking offspring of Mr Ash and Lily May __ reveals 4 births [1] Roland Charles Hunter Ash b1913 to Shadrack Alfred Ash and Lilly May Branson in the Gilbert District; [2] Clarence Marion Ash b1917 to Shaderack Alfred Ash and Lily May Branson in Adelaide; [3] Lancelot Alfred Ash b1920 to Shadrach Alfred Ash and May Branson in Adelaide; [4] Daphne Caroline Ash b1921 to Shadrack Alfred Ash and Lily May Branson in Adelaide (3). Why isn’t Clarence Marion mentioned on the death notice? Because he had not survived childhood: the Clarence Marion Ash Death Index reveals he died in Adelaide in 1919, with nominated relative his father Shadrack Alfred Ash (3). And what happened to Shadrack? “Undefended Divorce Cases In the Supreme Court today Mr Justice Angas Parsons granted orders nisi for divorce in the following undefended actions: ..... Lily May Ash, of Eighth street, Gawler, against Shadrack Alfred Ash, of Whyalla, labourer, on the ground of failure to pay main tenance. ... “News (Adelaide), Thursday 10 October 1940 p7 (4). Shadrack dies in 1953: “In Memoriam: Ash, Shadrack Alfred: Passed away May 18, 1953, ever remembered by his son Roland and family” The Advertiser, Tuesday 18 May 1954 p32 (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Lily May Branson was born on 25 Dec 1876 near Stockport SA to parents Charles Branson and Fanny Donnally (6). By searching Lily May Ebert on the Death Index at GenealogySA, we find she died in 1949, with her next of kin being her husband Carl Gustav Ebert (3). But the only Carl Gustav Ebert marriage noted here was when he married Hilda Jane Warren in 1911 in Adelaide (3). Was Lily May a second relationship after his wife Hilda Jane departed? Hilda Jane Ebert died in 1935 with next of kin her husband Carl Gustav Ebert in the Pinnaroo District (3). Hilda Jane Ebert was buried, aged 47 yrs, on 9 July 1935 in Meribah Cemetery Row B Plot/Grave/Niche 17 (7). According to the information on the Town of Gawler website, Lily May Ebert aged 62 yrs who last resided in Gawler was buried on 28 Jan 1949 in Willaston Cemetery, Plot/Grave/Niche 24 K 4, Rev Brasher officiating (8), and Carl Gustav Ebert aged 77 yrs, who last resided at 8 High Street, Gawler, was buried on 25 Nov 1955 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/ Niche 3 M 4, with Rev AR Broadbent officiating (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/ebert_may.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43801939?searchTerm=may%20ebert&searchLimits= 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/131995622?searchTerm=Shadrack%20Ash&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48122415?searchTerm=Shadrack%20Ash&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I317400 7 http://www.loxtonwaikerie.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=18230 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34061 9 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33826
288 This photo of the headstone is taken from the base of the stone, and so the names further up are hard to read, but it notes the nine deceased children of Charles and Mary Edson. Mary Ann Edson was born 27 Oct 1853, died 7 June 1854; Charles Edson born 14 Jan 1855, died 14 Feb 1855; Emily Amelia Edson was born in 14 Jan 1856, died 1 Aug 1864; Charles Morrish Edson born 11 Feb 1858, died 13 Aug 1864; Rebecca Louisa Edson born 3 May 1862, died 8 Aug 1864; Rachel Edson born 20 Feb 1866, died 4 March 1866; Alice Lucy Edson born 1 July 1869, died 1 Sept 1872; Helen Mary Clark was born on 22 Jan 1874, and died 13 Sept 1926; but right at the top, William Edward Edson was born 2 May 1860, died 23 May 1940 (1). I’ve had to rely a little on the information given on the “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, but disagree on several points: Alice Lucy was born in 1869, not 1860; Emily Amelia died in 1864, not 1854; Mary Ann died on 7 June, not 4 June; Rachel died 4 March, not 4 May; William Edward was born in 1860, not in 1900 (2). As 6 of these children died whilst Pioneer Park was being used as Gawler’s first cemetery, I had a look at the names mentioned there (3), but there were no Edsons on that list, making me realise that most of the names were added retrospectively, and hence may not be entirely accurate with dates. According to the data on the LDS website, Charles Edson was born 9 Mar 1834 Woolwich, Kent, England to parents William Edson [born 1803 Kent and died 5 Nov 1890 Lyndoch SA] and Mary Ann Morrish [b1801, died 15 Sep 1885 Lyndoch SA]. Charles Edson died aged 77 yrs on 9 December 1911 at Beverley SA. He arrived in Australia in 1848 aged 14 yrs with his parents aboard the Sibella. He worked as a wheelwright and farmer. He had resided at Lawler[sic], Pt Victoria, and Beverley. He was married aged 19 yrs on 24 Dec 1852 in Lawler[sic] SA to 17 years old Mary Randall [she was born 22 March 1836 and died 10 Dec 1905 Beverley SA, her mother was Mary Upton]. The children of Charles Edson and Mary Randall were [1] Mary Ann Edson born 27 Oct 1853, died 7 June 1854 SA; [2] Charles Edson born 1855, died 1855 Gawler; [3] Emily Amelia Edson born 1856, died 1864; [4] Charles Morrish Edson born 11 Feb 1858, died 1864 Gawler; [5] William Edward Edson born 2 May 1860, died 1940 Gawler; [6] Rebecca Louisa Edson born 3 May 1862, died 1864 Gawler; [7] Antony George Edson born 18 March 1864, died to 8 March 1940 Lyndoch; [8] Rachel Edson born 21 Feb 1866, died 4 March 1866 Gawler; [9] Frank Edson born 29 May 1867, died 1944 Gawler; [10] Alice Lucy Edson born 1 July 1869, died 1 Sept 1872 Gawler; [11] Edith Bawdon Edson born 27 Aug 1871, died 1954 Gawler; [12] Helen Mary Edson born 22 Jan 1874, died 1926 Gawler; [13] Morrish Randall Edson born 4 July 1876, died 1966 Gawler; [14] Arthur Charles Edson born 12 Aug 1878, died 1941 Kilkerran SA; [15] Victoria Margaret Jane Edson born 1 Jan 1882 Port Victoria SA. The Alice Lucy Edson Birth Index at GenealogySA confirms her birth in the Barossa District in 1869 to parents Charles Edson and Mary Randall (4). According to the information at Gawler Council’s website, Alice Lucy Edson aged 3 yrs old from Gawler was buried on 1 Sept 1872 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 1 B 1, with Rev RJ Casely officiating (5). Helen Mary Clark nee Edson was born on 22 Jan 1874 and died aged 52 yrs on 13 Sept 1926. According to the information found on the LDS website, Helen Mary Edson was married aged 18 yrs on 6 Apr 1892 at Port Victoria SA to George Clark aged 22 yrs [b1869]. Their children included [1] George Spencer Clark born 14 Oct 1892 Port Pirie SA; [2] Arthur Charles Clark born 6 Mar 1900 Wauraltee SA (6). http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I159431&tree=SouthAustralia 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/eg/edson_mary_ann,_charles,_emily_amelia,_charles_morrish,_rebecca_louisa,_rachel,_alice_lucy_&_william_edward.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastone_data.htm 3 http://headstones.weebly.com/gawler-old-pioneer-park.html 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29333 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I159443&tree=SouthAustralia 289 Joseph Goodgame Edwards died aged 54 yrs on 11 April 1932 (1), making his year of birth c1878. Joseph Edwards Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that, in Adelaide in 1877, Joseph Goodgame Edwards was born to parents John Edwards and Sarah Goodgame (2), and the Joseph Edwards Marriage Index shows that, in the Norwood District in 1900, Joseph Goodgame Edwards was married to Eliza Bellis (2). Was the Elizabeth Edwards buried in Willaston Eliza Edwards the wife of Joseph Goodgame Edwards? No, Elizabeth Edwards was the wife of Henry Charles Edwards: “Deaths: Edwards: On July 11, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Elizabeth, beloved wife of Henry Charles Edwards, of Reeves Plains, aged 72 years” The Advertiser, Tuesday 12 July 1949 p12 (3), although her headstone says she died aged 72 yrs on 11 July 1949, wife of Henry Edwards (4). The Henry Charles Edwards Marriage Index at Genealogy SA shows he was married in 1897 in the Hindmarsh District to Elizabeth Bellis (2), and his Death Index shows he died in 1955 in Gawler, with nominated relative his niece JA Edwards (2). It is also noted on this Death Index, that another Henry Charles Edwards, a son of Joseph Goodgame Edwards, died in Adelaide in 1913 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Elizabeth Bellis was born on 5 Aug 1877 in Bowden, Adelaide to parents Thomas Bellis and Elizabeth Jones (5). The ‘all Edwards’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Edwards and Sarah Goodgame shows there were 5 children born to John Edwards and Sarah Martha Goodgame [1] Joseph Goodgame Edwards b1877 in Adelaide; [2] Sarah Edith Edwards b1880 in the Clare District; [3] James Edwards b1882 in the Clare District; [4] Charlotte Emma Edwards b1885 in the Hindmarsh District; [5] Ellen Mary Edwards b1887 in the Hindmarsh District (2). The ‘all Edwards’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Joseph Goodgame Edwards and Eliza Bellis shows nine children were born to Eliza Bellis, with father’s name in brackets when not Joseph Goodgame Edwards [1] Frances Mable Ellen Edwards b1901 in the Hindmarsh District; [2] Violet Edwards b1903 in the Hindmarsh District; [3] Joseph Albert Edwards b1906 in the Hindmarsh District; [4] Henry Charles Edwards b1909 (George[sic] Goodgame Edwards) in the Hindmarsh District; [5] Albert Allan Edwards b1912 (Joseph Edwards) in Adelaide; [6] Leonard Wilfred Edwards b1914 in the Port Adelaide District; [7] Irene May Edwards b1917 in Adelaide; [8] Keith Ross Edwards b1920 in Adelaide; [9] Leslie Keith Edwards b1922 in Adelaide (2). Back on RootsWeb, Joseph Goodgame Edwards was born on 26 Sep 1877 in Upper Sturt SA to parents John Edwards and Sarah Goodgame (6), and Joseph Albert Edwards was born on 31 May 1906 in Thebarton, Adelaide to parents Joseph Goodgame Edwards and Eliza Bellis (7). Joseph Albert Edwards died aged 49 yrs on 30 Nov 1955; his wife Ida Beatrice Edwards died aged 79 yrs on 27 Nov 1986 (8), making her year of borth c1907 [we already have his date of birth above]. The Joseph Albert Edwards Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he married Ida Beatrice Aunger in the Barossa District in 1929 (2). Back on RootsWeb, Ida Beatrice Aunger was born on 30 Dec 1906 in Port Gawler to parents Thomas James Aunger and Charlotte Rowley (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/edwards_joseph_goodgame.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36675744?searchTerm=eliza%20edwards&searchLimits= 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/edwards_elizabeth.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I308818 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I634936 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I602825

The Phillip Edwards Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that, in the Angaston District in 1931, Phillip Gilbart Edwards married Rubina Esther Feuerherdt (2). Phillip Gilbart Edwards was born Philip[sic] Gilbart Edwards on 3 May 1911 in Jamestown SA to parents father unrecorded and Mary Gilbart Edwards (3). On this headstone, Fay Mary Edwards was the daughter of PG and ER Edwards, possibly this may be the Phillip Gilbart Edwards and Rubina Esther Feuerherdt who are discussed above. Fay Mary Edwards accidentally died aged 21 yrs on 8 Dec 1957 (4). Unfortunately (for us) Fay Mary’s birth was c1936, after the genealogy websites 1928 cut-off, and her death was after the current 1954 cut-off for newspaper notices. I could not find a Birth Notice for her, so that’s all I can find out. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/edwards_phillip_g.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I496899 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/edwards_fay_mary.jpg Natasha A Edwards (Tash) has a white wooden cross 9-9-74 to 11-7-05. Love always Matt, Angel and Ruby (1). Note that her name is Natasha, not Natashia as appears on the “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). According to the Natasha Edwards search at the GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices that the Advertiser has 3 Death Notices in 2005, one of which says Natasha Anne (Tash) Edwards (2), and the Newspaper Birth Notices section at GenealogySA notes that the Advertiser had a 1977 Birth Notice for Natasha Elizabeth Edwards born to parents Rosemary Roebuck and Graeme Edwards (3) 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/edwards_natashia_a..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastone_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 WJ Eggers died aged 52 yrs on 24 June 1917, admittedly his age is very hard to read on this old gravestone (1). The “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he died aged 58 years (2), which is quite understandable, but I still think he was younger than that. The ‘W Eggers’ Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Wilhelm Julius Eggers died in 1917 in the Barossa District (3). The William Julius Eggers Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in the Barossa District in 1865 to parents Carl Julius Frederick Eggers and Waldamine Henriette Helmcke (3). He was aged 52 years when he died: “Deaths: Eggers: On the 24th June, at the residence of his brother (Mr CF Eggers), The Pines, Wasleys, William Julius Eggers, aged 52 years” The Advertiser, Monday 25 June 1917 p4 (4). The ‘all Eggers’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of parents Carl Julius Frederick Eggers and Waldamine Henriette Helmcke shows 6 births with various spellings of the parents’ names [1] Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Eggers b1854 to parents Carl Friedrich Julius Eggers and Wilhelmine Henriette Helmcke in Adelaide; [2] Dorothea Henrietta Eggers b1857 to parents Julius Eggers andHenriette Helmcke in the Barossa District, as are subsequent births; [3] Albert Ferdinand Martin Eggers b1863 to parents Carl Frederick Julius Eggers and Henriette Williamina Friedericke Helmks; [4] William Julius Eggers b1865 to parents Carl Julius Frederick Eggers and Waldamine Henriette Helmcke; [5] Julius Eggers b1868 to parents Julius Eggers and Harriet Helmcke; [6] Theresa Augusta Eggers b1858 to parents Julius Eggers and Henriette Helmke (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that William Julius Eggers was born on 16 Jun 1865 in Kingsford SA to parents Carl Julius Frederick Eggers and Waldamine Henriette Helmcke (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eggers_w.j..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastone_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5597012?searchTerm=william%20eggers&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I642658 Leslie Gordon Eggers died aged 55 yrs on 24 July 1966; his wife Alice Vera Eggers died 3 April 1991 (1). There is no Leslie Gordon Eggers Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so we must look elsewhere for Alice Vera’s maiden name. On searching on Trove: “Marriages: Freeman —Eggers: The marriage of Alice V, second daughter of Mr and Mrs H Freeman, of Gawler South, to Leslie G, eldest son of Mr and Mrs C Eggers, of Gawler South, will be solemnised at St Peter and Paul's Church, Gawler, on Saturday the 14th of September at 7.30 pm” The Advertiser, Saturday 7 September 1940 p10 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Leslie Gordon Eggers was born on 8 Apr 1911 in Gawler to parents Rudolph Friedrich Carl Eggers and Jane Hannah Hansborough (3), and Alice Vera Freeman was born on 13 Mar 1905 in Gawler to parents Harry Allen Freeman and Teresa Donohue (4), which means that she died at the age of 86 years. The ‘all Eggers’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Rudolph Friedrich Carl Eggers and Jane Hannah Hansborough shows two births in the Barossa District [1] Leslie Gordon Eggers b1911 to parents Rudolph Friedrich Carl Eggers and Jane Hannah Hansborough; [2] Henry Norman Eggers b1913 to parents Rudolf Frederich Carl Eggers and Jane Hannah Stansborough[sic] (5). This makes Henry Norman Eggers the younger brother of Leslie Gordon Eggers. On his headstone, Henry Norman Eggers died aged 28 years 7 May 1941 (6), confirming his year of birth as 1913. Back on RootsWeb, Henry Norman Eggers was born on 21 Jan 1913 in Gawler to parents Rudolf Frederich Carl Eggers and Jane Hannah Stansborough[sic] (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eggers_leslie_gordon_&_alice_vera.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48860179?searchTerm=Alice%20Vera%20Eggers%20&searchLimits= 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I497712 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I715963 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eggers_henry_norman.jpg 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I497713 Kenneth Richard Eglinton died aged 67 yrs on 8 March 1982, husband of Eileen Hazel Eglinton, with floweres covering their children’s names (1), his year of birth would be c1915. The “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he died in 1952, but it looks much more like 1982 to me. The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser shows one for Kenneth Richard Eglinton on 9 March 1982 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Kenneth Richard Eglinton was born on 11 Sep 1914 in Swan Reach SA to parents Charles Robe Eglinton and Christina Zadow (4), which confirms he was 67 years old when he died on 8 March 1982. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eglinton_kenneth_richard.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastone_data.htm 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-E.html

The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser says that the JRL (Rudie) Eibrink-Jansen Notice appeared on 17 June 1997 (2), so if the Savill Index got it right, it is really JRL (Rudie) EibrinkJansen, which agrees with the “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, who also put in a hyphen (3), although the hyphen does not appear on the headstone. The ‘all Eibrink’ search on GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices says that the Advertiser has the 1997 Death Notice for Jansen JRL (Rudie) Eibrink (4), just to confuse things. Searching on Trove doesn’t show any link to an SA Eibrink, and a general Google search of Rudy Eibrink Jansen at least does show several Australian references to people with the surname Eibrink-Jansen, although not in SA. Without further information, I’ll have to leave things as they stand. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eibrink_jansen___j.r.l._%28rudie%29.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-E.html 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastone_data.htm 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 296 Robert Eime died aged 75 yrs on 7 May 1943; his wife Thusnelda Eime died aged 97 yrs on 28 Aug 1968 (1). The Robert Eime Marriage Index shows that in the Barossa District in 1894, Robert August Eime was married to Auguste Ottilie Thusnelde Dost (2). The ‘all Eime’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of parents Robert August Eime and Auguste Ottilie Thusnelde Dost reveal they had at least 4 children [1] Matilda Alvina Eime b1895; [2] Robert Carl Eime b1897; [3] Hulda Alma Dorothea Eime b1908; [4] Johannes Walter Norman Eime b1910 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Hulda Alma Dorothea Eime was born on 15 Dec 1908 in Rosenthal SA (now Rosedale) to parents Robert August Eime and Thusnelda Auguste Ottilie Dost (3), Johannes Walter Norman Eime was born on 18 Nov 1910 in Rosenthal to parents Robert August Eime and Thusnelde Augusta Ottilie Dost (4), Robert August Eime was born on 27 Feb 1867 in Concordia SA to parents Jonathon Eime and Louisa Mattuske (5), Robert Carl Eime was born on 18 Jun 1897 in Rosenthal to parents Robert August Eime and Auguste Ottilie Shasnelde[sic] Dost (6), and Auguste Ottilie Thusnelde Dost was born on 2 Oct 1870 in Rosenthal to parents Johann Heinrich Gustav Dost {born c1836} and Marie Louise Matilda Altmann {born c1839} (7). The headstone for Charles Robert Eime, Norman John Eime and Dorothea Eime sons and daughter of the late Robert and Thusnelda Eime have just these anglicised names and no dates or ages (8). The ‘all Eime’ Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Charles Robert Eime died in 1969, with nominated relative his sister Miss HAD Eime (2), who must have been Dorothea Eime, still alive in 1969. The Savill Index for Funeral Notices in the Advertiser showed that one for Dorothea Eime appeared on 7 Aug 2001 (9). Auguste Ottilie Thusnelde was called Nelda: “Eime: On May 7, Robert August, the loved husband of Nelda Eime of 2 Crown street, Gawler East, aged 75 years” The Advertiser, Monday 10 May 1943 p6 (10). Multiple searches for the date of death of Norman John Eime were to no avail, and we really need to see the Willaston Cemetery Burial Register. The Savill Index says that there was a Funeral Notice in the Advertiser for a John Eime on 29 June 2010 (9), but without his second name, this remains just a possibility. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eime_robert_&_thusnelda.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I497924 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I497929 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I645014 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I645025 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I539796 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eime_charles_robert,_norman_john_&_dorothea.jpg 9 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-E.html 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48912024?searchTerm=Norman%20Eime%20death&searchLimits= 297 Oscar William Eime died aged 73 yrs on 4 Feb 1961 (1), making his year of birth c1888. According on data on the LDS website, Oscar William Frederick Eime was born 1 Apr 1887 at Lyndoch SA to father Mervin Eime [born 2 Aug 1860 Concordia SA] and mother Emilie Sophia Minne [born 1860] who had married 20 Jul 1883 at Rosenthal SA (2). The Mervin Eime Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in the Barossa District in 1860 to parents Jonathon Eime and Louisa Mattuschke (3), and hence a brother of Robert August Eime researched in Note 296, there being 20 years between them. This makes Oscar William Eime a nephew of Robert August Eime, and cousin of Charles Robert, Norman John and Dorothea Eime. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eime_oscar_william.jpg 2 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I158572&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 298 Alfred Leslie Ellis died aged 76 yrs on 16 Dec 1976; his wife Ida Victoria Ellis died aged 78 yrs on 5 Jan 1978 (1), so their years of birth are both c1900. Alfred Leslie Ellis Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Port Gawler District in 1923, he was married to Ida Victoria Winckel (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Alfred Leslie Ellis was born in 1900 in Gawler to parents Alfred Ernest Ellis and Martha Hall (3), and Ida Victoria Winckel was born on 28 Feb 1898 at Gawler River SA to parents Freidrich Ernst Winckel and Maria Augusta Hermina Reiuke (4), which means she was actually almost 80 yrs old when she died. But we still must find, if possible, the date of birth of Alfred Leslie Ellis. He does not have a military record, so this makes it even harder. Luckily there is a record on the LDS website which says that Alfred Leslie Ellis was born on 4 Nov 1900 in Gawler (5). There is no information found as to whether the other Ellis buried in Willaston, Alwin Ernest Ellis, is related to Alfred and Ida Ellis, as it is too recent for genealogy websites to show that data, and I did not find a 1938 Birth Notice for Alwin on Trove. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/ellis_alfred_leslie_&_ida_victoria.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I272148 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I397108 5 histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I157539&tree 299 Mary Frances Elston died on 28 April 1989, the wife of Ken Elston, mother of Linda and Angela (1). The ‘all Elston’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows no marriage of a Ken Elston to a Mary Frances __ (2), and there are no births of a Ken Elston at the ‘all Elston’ Birth Index (2). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper doesn’t show a Mary Frances or a Ken Elston (3). However, a search of Mary Frances Elston at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices shows a Death Notice had appeared in the 1989 Advertiser (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there are 291 births in SA up to 1928 whose Christian names include ‘Mary Frances’, far too many to go through without at least a birth

year to help sort through them. Even if excluding those with ‘Frances Mary’, those born before c1884, and those with another name between ‘Mary’ and ‘Frances’ still leaves 76 names (4), and that’s assuming the names are in the order they appear on the headstone, and that she was born, in SA, and before 1928, and what if it’s her second marriage? 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/elston_mary_frances.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-E.html 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?surname=&given=Mary+Frances&includedb=sabmd&start=1 Anne Emerson died aged __ yrs on 23 Aug 1912; Robert Emerson died aged __ yrs on 24 Feb 1920 (1), but the inscription of the headstone is very hard to read, and I’ve had to rely on the “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). There is no data on the births or marriage of Anne and Robert Emerson at GenealogySA. However, on the LDS site we find a Robert Emerson who was born on 24 Feb 1834 in Fulmerstone, Norfolk, England to father John Emerson. Robert Emerson was married on 8 Dec 1851 in Wood Norton, Norfolk to Ann Wallis, and they had 2 children before coming to Australia in 1855 aboard the Lismoyne. Robert Emerson’s occupation was a farmer in the Gawler Blocks and at One Tree Hill. Ann Wallis was born on 7 Jul 1827 [father George Wallis] in St James, London, Middlesex, England; and she died on 23 Aug 1912 Gawler Blocks SA. Their children were [1] Ann Emerson born c1853 UK; [2] Emily Sarah Burdon nee Emerson born 21 May 1854 UK, died 7 June 1918 Millicent SA; then in Australia Robert and Anne Emerson had a further 7 daughters, and finally a son; [3] Mary Ann Emerson born 17 May 1857 at Sturt SA, died 18 Dec 1857 Adelaide; [4] Louisa Emerson born 11 Nov 1858 Adelaide; [5] Elizabeth Emerson born 4 Dec 1860 Talia SA; [6] Helen Emerson born 26 Sep 1862 Talia; [7] Hannah Emerson born 30 Sep 1864 Talia SA and died 22 Mar 1869 in Walkerville SA; [8] Martha Emerson born 1 Jan 1867 in Wallala SA, and died 21 Apr 1868 in Walkerville SA; [9] Eva Emerson born 27 Apr 1869 Walkerville, and died 27 Feb 1870 One Tree Hill SA; [10] Robert George Emerson born 3 Feb 1871 Innesfield SA, and died 25 Jul 1871 at Innesfield (3). Thus Anne Emerson was aged 85 yrs and Robert Emerson was aged 86 yrs. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/emerson_anne_&_robert.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastone_data.htm 3 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I236768&tree=SouthAustralia Edith Nellie Englert died on 21 March 1967 (1), that’s all her headstone tells us. The Edith Englert Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when Edith Nelli[sic] Englert died in Adelaide in 1967, the nominated relative was her deceased husband Charles Thomas Englert (2), and the Charles Thomas Englert Marriage Index notes he was married in the Port Gawler District in 1916 to Edith Nellie Hayles (2). The Edith N Hayles Birth Index at GenealogySA tells us that Edith Nelly[sic] Hayles was born in the Norwood District in 1887 to Thomas Hayles and Ellen Elizabeth Poyner (2). In fact, a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Edith Nelly Hayles was born 19 Jul 1887 Athelstone, Adelaide to Thomas Hayles and Ellen Elizabeth Poyner (3), making her 79 yrs old when she died. As a cross-reference to confirm Edith Nellie Englert’s details, the data on the LDS website says Charles Thomas Englert [born 1886 to father Frederick William Englert] and on 8 May 1916 was married aged 29 yrs at the residence of Thomas Hayles, Smithfield SA to Edith Nellie Hayles aged 28 yrs. Edith Nellie was born 19 Jul 1887 at Athelstone SA, and she died in 1967 SA (4). The ‘all Englert’ Birth Index at GenealogySA reveals 3 children were born to Charles Thomas Englert and Edith Nellie Hayles [1] Thelma Helen Englert b1917 in Adelaide; [2] Aileen Joan Englert b1919 in Adelaide; [3] Raymond Hayles Englert b1921 in the Frome District (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/englert_edith_nellie.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I15271 4 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I17786&tree=SouthAustralia Annette BA Essex died aged 17 months on 9 March 1968 (1), so her birth would be around Oct 1966. There is no Annette Essex Birth Index at GenealogySA but the Annette Essex Death Index shows that when Annette Bronwynn Ann Essex died in the Port Adelaide District in 1968, the nominated relative was her father Terance Anthony Phillip Essex (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/essex_annette_b.a..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 Catherine Jane Eyers died aged 57 yrs on 11 Sept 1890; her husband George Eyers died aged 69 yrs on 1 Jan 1905 (1), making their years of birth c1833 and c1836 respectively. According to the data on the LDS website, George Eyers was born c1835 in Somerset, England and died 1 Jan 1905 at Willaston SA. He arrived in Australia in 1863 aboard the Sir John Lawrence. His occupation was a limeburner, and resided at Bertha, Pt Gawler, and Willaston. He was married in the UK, prior to arrival in Australia, to Catherine Jane Holdaway, and they had their 3 children before their arrival. Catherine Jane Holdaway was born c1833 in Somerset England and she died 11 Sep 1890. The children of George Eyers and Catherine Jane Holdaway were [1] William Eyers born c1856 UK; [2] Frederick Eyers born 1859 UK; [3] John Eyers born c1863, maybe en route; [4] William Holdaway Eyers born c1856 and died 9 May 1867 Mudla Wirra SA); [5] Tom Eyers born in 1861 and died 26 Nov 1902 Bertha SA); [6] Unknown Eyers born 1 Apr 1866 Gawler Belt SA; [7] Catherine Eyers born 25 Apr 1869 Bertha SA; [8] George Eyers born 4 Jul 1872 Bertha SA and died in 1939; [9] Charles Eyers born 27 Feb 1874 Bertha SA and died 8 Mar 1874 Bertha SA; [10] Charles Eyers born 13 Jun 1875 Willaston SA and died 15 Jul 1875 Willaston SA) (2). Staying with the LDS website, the family of George Eyers and Catherine Jane Holdaway has information about their children’s marriages: [5] Tom Eyers born in 1861 was married on 21 May 1891 at Gawler River to Thirza Hillier; [7] Catherine Eyers born 25 Apr 1869 at Bertha was married on 2 Jun 1892 at Hindmarsh SA to Charles Draper {see her entry under ‘Draper, Catherine’ and Note 262}; [8] George Eyers born on 4 Jul 1872 at Bertha was married on 29 Dec 1896 at Unley Park SA to Esther Gash (3). Tom Eyers died aged 40 yrs on 26 Nov 1902; his wife Thirza Eyers died aged 95 yrs on 9 Feb 1961; their daughter Eva Lawson {nee Eyers} died aged 95 yrs on 5 June 1992 [see her entry under ‘Lawson, Eva’] (4). We learned above that Thirza Eyers was born Thirza Hillier, so back to the LDS data to reveal that Thirza Hillier was born on 24 May 1865 at Gawler River SA to parents George Hillier (b1826 Horsley, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England, died 2 Apr 1902 Gawler Plains SA) and Leonora Hooper (b1829 Cornwall, England, died 15 Oct 1905 Gawler South), who had married in Adelaide on 24 Jan 1850. Thirza Hillier was married on 21 May 1891 at Gawler River to Tom Eyers, and they had the following children: [1] Ivy Holdway Eyers born 21 Mar 1892 Bertha nr Willaston SA; [2] Merna Eyers born 22 Feb 1894 Bertha; [3] Eva Eyers b 25 Jun 1896 Willaston; [4] William George Eyers, born 6 Nov 1897 Bertha; [5] Arthur Eric Eyers born 3 Jan 1902 Bertha (5). Still on the LDS website, Charles Draper was born on 11 Jun 1868 in Gawler to parents John Richard Draper (born Abt 1836 East Grimstead, West Sussex, England) and Charlotte Lucy Batchelder (b1836, died 1 Mar 1891 Gawler), who had married 2 Nov 1857 in Northfleet, Kent. Charles Draper was a carpenter, living in Gawler, and died 24 Feb 1945 in Gawler. He was married aged 23 yrs on 2 Jun 1892 at Hindmarsh SA to Catherine Eyers aged 23 yrs (born 25 Apr 1869 Bertha to parents George Eyers and Catherine Holdway, and she died 12 Aug 1934 in Gawler). Charles and Catherine had the following children [1] Hilda Catherine Draper born 15 May 1893 Bertha, died 11 Sep 1895 Willaston; [2] Nellie Draper born on 13 Oct
1894, died the same day; [3] Millicent May Broadbent nee Draper born 29 Dec 1895 Bertha, died 18 July 1948; [4] Doris Kathleen White nee Draper born 6 Aug 1898 Bertha; [5] Douglas Fred Draper born 20 Sep 1900 Bertha, died 22 Sep 1913 Gawler [6] Amy Jean Butler nee Draper born 8 Feb 1903 Bertha; [7] Bruce Draper born 22 Dec 1905 Willaston, died 9 Aug 1982; [8] Olive Evelyn Miller nee Draper born 15 Aug 1909 (6), and Esther Gash was born on 1 Jul 1866 at East Payneham SA to parents Thomas Gash (b1826, died 9 Apr 1909 Willaston) and Elizabeth Cockwell (b1824, died 16 Jul 1901 Semaphore). Esther Gash aged 28 yrs was married 29 Dec 1896 Unley Park to George Eyers aged 24 yrs (born 4 Jul 1872 Bertha) and had at least 2 children [1] Elva Violet Catherine Eyers born 1 Oct 1898 Bertha; [2] George Laurence Eyers born 6 Mar 1902 Bertha (7). On his headstone, Arthur Eric Eyers died on 23 June 1992, husband of Lydia, father of Melvin and Barbara (8), and was thus 90 yrs old when he died. Lydia Rita Eyers died 25 Feb 1979 (9). The Arthur Eric Eyers Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows his marriage in 1924 in the Kapunda District was to Lydia Rita Lamb (10). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Lydia Rita Lamb was born Liddy Rita Lamb on 28 Jul 1899 in Gawler to parents Thomas Greenway Lamb and Kitty Smith (11). On her headstone, Mary Jane Eyers, wife of Frederick Eyers {born 1859 UK as we learned already}, died aged 74 yrs on 1 July 1927 (12), making her year of birth c1853. The Frederick Eyers Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Upper Wakefield District in 1886 he married Mary Jane Richards (10). To complicate things, RootsWeb tells us that there were two Mary Jane Richards born in SA in 1853 [1] Mary Jane Richards born 11 May 1853 in Norwood, Adelaide to parents John Richards and Honor Paston (13), and [2] Mary Jane Richards born 26 Apr 1853 in Adelaide to parents John Light Richards and Mary Ann George (14). In an attempt to decide which Mary Jane married Frederick Eyers, a search on Trove: “Marriage: EyersRichards: On the 21st December, at the residence of the bride’s parents, by the Rev J Raymont, Frederick, eldest surviving son of Mr George Eyers, of Bertha, near Gawler, to Mary Jane (Folly), third daughter of Mr John Richards, of Upper Wakefeld, Auburn” The South Australian Advertiser, Wednesday 29 December 1886 p4 (15). This doesn’t help, as both had a father named John. A general Google TM search of ‘Frederick Eyers and Mary Jane Richards’, there was a website called “My Trees” at “Ancestry Archive ” who had a Frederick Eyers (born in 1859 and died 1949) marriage in 1886 to Mary Jane Richards (born in 1853 and died 1927), with at least one child Clifford Frederick Eyers born in 1888 (16). Tracking this Mary J Richards showed she was born in 1853 to parents John and Honor (17). So at last we know (13) that the correct Mary Jane Richards who became Mary Jane Eyers formerly Folly nee Richards was born on 11 May 1853. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eyers_catherine_jane_&_george.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I132144&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F38814&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eyers_tom_&_thirza.jpg 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I38593&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I163228&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I2975&tree=SouthAustralia 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eyers_arthur_eric.jpg 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eyers_lydia_rita.jpg 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I104330 12 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eyers_mary_jane.jpg 13 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I227020 14 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I227018 15 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/37164886?searchTerm=eyers%20richards&searchLimits= 16 http://www.mytrees.com/ancestry/Other/Died-1949/Ey/Eyers-family/Frederick-Eyers-ri001694-6426.html 17 http://www.mytrees.com/cgi-bin/yaodoqry?RICHARDS+MARY++1852+1854+++++++B++All+1+0+1+0+0+0 304 Mary Adelaide (Mollie) Eyre died aged 82 yrs aged 82 yrs on 23 July 1973 (1), making her year of birth c1891. Walter Eyre died 13 June 1958 (2). The Walter Eyre Marriage Index at GenealogySA showed that Walter George Eyre was married in the Norwood District in 1919 to Mary Adelaide Reid (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Mary Adelaide Reid was born on 3 Dec 1890 in North Adelaide to parents Alfred Gilbart Reid and Eliza Jane Laming (4), but no birth record could be found on RootsWeb for Walter George Eyre. This is not surprising as he was born in England: “Marriages: Eyre-Reid: On the 5th April, at the residence of bride's parents, by Rev AW Bean, Walter George Eyre, late of Northampton, England, to Mary Adelaide, only daughter of EG Reid, "Spalding," Hewitt Avenue, Toorak” The Mail (Adelaide), Saturday 26 April 1919 p2 (5). The Savill Index notes a funeral notice for Mary (Mollie) Eyre on 24 July 1973 (6), which would confirm her death on ar about the 23 July, as the headstone date is a little hard to read. Unfortunately General Google searches and also on Trove have failed to tell me Walter Eyre’s date of birth nor his age when he died in 1958, as Trove only currently allows searches up to 1954. He doesn’t appear on WWI Australian Military websites, nor on the LDS data 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eyre_mary_adelaide_%28mollie%29.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eyre_walter.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I223729 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/63760695?searchTerm=reid%20eyre&searchLimits= 6 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-E.html 305 Henry Fagg died at Wasleys aged 72 yrs on 31 March 1938; his wife Bridget Fagg died aged 84 yrs {in 85th year} on 10 th May 1957; their children Norah May Fagg was born 16 April 1903, and died 11 July 1903; Henry Fagg Jr was born 6 Jan 1905, and died 20 Feb 1905; Elizabeth Mary Fagg was born 4 May 1904, and died 1 April 1920 (1). The Henry Fagg Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows a marriage of a Henry Fagg to Maria Templer in 1856 in the Barossa West District (2), but the Maria Fagg Death Index shows that Maria Fagg nee Templer died in 1858 (2). The Henry Fagg Marriage Index shows he was then married in the Barossa District to Bridget McShedy in 1859 (2). The Maria Fagg headstone was originally in Gawler’s first cemetery, Pioneer Park and was moved subsequently moved to the current cemetery at Willaston. It is very hard to read. I can only discern “Maria Fagg wife of Henry Fagg, mother of William Templer, Wednesday ?June 18__ ... years..” (3). The ‘all Fagg’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Henry Fagg shows that he had children, all born in the Barossa District, with both wives: [1] William Templer Fagg b1857 to parents Henry Fagg and Maria Templer; [2] Henry Fagg b1858 to parents Henry Fagg and Maria Templers; [3] Hanry Fagg b1860 to parents Henry Fagg and Brediget Sheedy; [4] Margaret Fagg b1863 to parents Henry Fagg and Bridget Sheedy; [5] Henry Fagg b1865 to parents Henry Fagg and Bridget Sheedy; [6] possibly James Fagg b1868 to parents Henery Fagg and Bridget Dundon, although this last one may be to a different Henry and Bridget (2). Both of these mothers are mentioned on their headstones, but not their husband Henry Fagg. The Henry Fagg who died at Wasleys in 1938 is the son
of the Henry Fagg who had two wives. Just to confuse things further, son Henry Fagg also had a wife named Bridget, as shown also on the ‘all Fagg’ Birth Index. Henry Fagg (the son) and Bridget Kerin (or maybe Kearin) had at least 5 children, including the 3 named on the headstone: [1] Mary Eileen Fagg b1899 in the Barossa District; [2] Nora May Fagg b1903 in the Barossa District; [3] Elizabeth Mary Fagg b1904 in the Kapunda District; [4] Henry Fagg b1906 in the Barossa District; [5] Emma Fagg b1908 in the Barossa District (2). The second Henry Fagg named on the headstone is grandson of the original Henry Fagg, and son of the other Henry Fagg on the headstone, although it should be noted that GenealogySA say that he died in 1906, not 1905. To confirm the dates of death of the children, we can see these recorded on Gawler Council’s Burial Register; Elizabeth Mary Fagg aged 16 years from Templers was buried 2 April 1920 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 40 Q 3, with Father Maher officiating (4), and Nora Mary Fagg aged 3 months from Templers was buried 12 July 1903 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 4 D 3 [same plot as Henry Fagg aged 6 weeks], with Father O'Neil[sic] officiating (5), and also Henry Fagg aged 6 weeks from Templers was buried 21 Feb 1906 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 4 D 3, with Father O'Neill officiating (6). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Henry Fagg (the son) was born on 12 Aug 1865 at Templers SA to parents Henry Fagg and Bridget Sheedy (7), Nora May Fagg was born on 14 Apr 1903 at Templers to parents Henry Fagg and Bridget Kearin (8), Elizabeth Mary Fagg was born in 1904 in Kapunda SA to parents Henry Fagg and Bridget Kerin (9), and Henry Fagg (the grandson) was born in 1906 near Templers to parents Henry Fagg and Bridget Kerin (10), but the only Bridget Kerin I could find at RootsWeb was not born c1872 (died aged 85 yrs in 1957), but in 1864, and this father’s name was not Patrick [see below]. Henry Fagg (the son) has an obituary: “Mr Henry Fagg, 72, who died on March 31 at his home, The Pines, near Wasleys, was the second son of the late Henry and Bridget Fagg, of Templers. For the whole of his life Mr Fagg had resided in the Templers district, where he was widely known and highly respected, carrying on farming on the land originally taken up by his late father. He took a prominent part in all things pertaining to the good of the commu nity. For fourteen years he represented Ashwell ward in the District Council of Mudla Wirra North, serving as chairman for four years. He had been a member of the Liberal Union since its inception, and of the Templers school committee for many years. As a member of the Wasleys Rifle Club he was prominent for a number of years, and was keenly interested in coursing, having been a nominator and on the committees of both Templers and Wasleys Coursing Clubs. He attended the Gawler Catholic Church all his life. In 1898 he married Bridget Kerin, the daughter of the late Patrick Kerin, of Fords. The widow, two daughters, Eileen and Emmie (Mrs F O'Connor, of Toorak) and one grandson survive” The Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 21 April 1938 p51 (11). Back on the Gawler Council website, we find Henry Fagg (the son) aged 72 from Wasleys was buried 1/04/1938 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 41 Q 3 [next plot to Elizabeth Mary Fagg], with Father Farrelly officiating (12), also another Henry Fagg (most likely the elder) aged 62 from Templers was buried 13/2/1879 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 1 H 3, with Abbot Allcock officiating (13), which means he was born c1817. Then there is Bridget Fagg aged 71 years old from Willaston was buried 7/11/1909 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 59 D 3, Father O'Neill officiating (14), most likely, as her year of birth was c1838, the second wife of Henry Fagg (the father). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/eg/fagg_nora_may,_henry,_elizabeth_mary,_henry_&_bridget.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fagg_maria.jpg 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32388 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31314 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31466 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I716293 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I713676 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I272430 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I272431 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92499157?searchTerm=Henry%20Bridget%20Fagg&searchLimits= 12 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33396 13 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29734 14 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31804 306 Maurice Fairfax, beloved husband of Ethel Maude Othams died 6 Jan 1944 (1). GenealogySA has no information about a Maurice Fairfax, or an M Fairfax. Being concerned over the paucity of mentions of him at GenealogySA and on RootsWeb, I did a Trove search of old newspapers of ‘Maurice Fairfax 1944’ to find “Obituary: Mr MF Othams: The funeral of the late Mr Maurice Fairfax Othams, until recently secretary of the Gawler Jockey Club, took place on Friday the remains being interred in the Catholic portion of the Willaston cemetery. Mr Othams was a resident of Gawler for many years. Originally he came to the town as a junior clerk to Mr SB Rudall and from that legal office obtained the position of secretary of the Gawler Jockey Club, a post he held for over 30 years. He also was known in the racing world as a judge, officiating at most of the country clubs’ meetings. As a young man he was an athlete of merit, and on one occasion won the coveted Stawell Gift, the blue ribbon of pedestrianism. Mr Othams gave good service to the town. In the Great War he underook many patriotic duties, and around those years saw to the guidance of the Gawler Show Society as secretary. He also for many years was treasurer of the Druids' Lodge. At times he acted as Town Clerk when emergency called for such assistance. In this war he undertook the duties as Chief Warden in Air Raid Precautions; and in many ways assisted in the work of the town. The deceased, who leaves a wife, was 63 years of age. He suffered an illness extending over twelve months” Bunyip, Friday 14 January 1944 p2 (2). Clearly Fairfax was his middle name, not his surname. To confirm his actual date of death: “Othams: On January 6, Maurice Fairfax, beloved husband of Ethel Maud Othams, of East terrace, Gawler” News (Adelaide), Thursday 6 January 1944 p5 (3). The entry on Willaston Cemetery “F” data (3) should be moved to the “O” page (5) for surname Othams. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Maurice Fairfax Othams was born on 26 Dec 1879 in Hackney, Adelaide to parents Henry Othams and Mary Eliza Kiteley (6), so he was actually 64 yrs old when he died, and not 63 yrs as stated in the Bunyip (2). The Maurice Fairfax Othams Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in Adelaide in 1910 to Ethel Maude Dawes (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fairfax_maurice.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96861947?searchTerm=maurice%20fairfax&searchLimits= 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/128394609?searchTerm=maurice%20fairfax&searchLimits= 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastono_data.htm 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I172473 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32
307 Bernard Farrell died 2 Feb 1870. The headstone doesn’t tell us his age but I suspect that it is there, just cut off by the photo. Bernard Farrell shares his headstone with Mary Ann Grace who died aged 70 yrs on 28 September 1869 and Patrick Grace aged 72 yrs who died 29 April 1872 (1). Bernard Farrell may have been related to the Grace family, maybe Mary and Patrick’s nephew, son-in-law or grandson, assuming that the Graces were a married couple. The Bernard Farrell Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Bernard Farrel[sic] died in the Barossa District in 1870, with no nominated relative given (2). According to the Town of Gawler website, Bernard Farrell aged 28 from Sheoak Log was buried 3 Feb 1870 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 3 A 2, with Rev CA Reynolds officiating (3). On a website called GenForum, I found the following information that may be relevant, or may not be: Bernard Farrell, son of John Farrell and Hannah Grace, was born between 1830 and 1845 in Co. Meath or Co. Westmeath, Ireland (4), but it at least has a connection to the Grace family. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/farrell_bernard.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29170 4 http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/print.cgi?farrell::1352.html 308 Martin Farrell died aged 4 yrs on 23 May 1881; Peter Farrell died aged 7 yrs on 6 Feb 1882; Mary Farrell died aged 20 yrs on 26 Dec 1901 (1). Their years of birth would be c1877, c1875 and c1881 respectively. Are these three siblings, cousins or less closely related? The Mary Farrell Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Mary Clare Gertrude Farrell died 1901, with nominated relative her father James Farrell (2), the Martin Farrell Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when Martin John Farrell died in 1881, the nominated relative was his father Martin Farrell (2), and the Peter Farrell Death Index shows that when Peter William Farrell died in 1882 the nominated relative was his father Peter Farrell (2). This shows that with different fathers, they were at least not full siblings. Mary’s Death Notice: Deaths: Farrell: On the 26th, December, at Edith-street, Gawler East, Mary Clara Farrel[sic], aged 20 years” Bunyip, Friday 3 January 1902 p2 (3). The Town of Gawler website tells us that Mary Clare G Farrell aged 20 from Gawler was buried 27 Dec 1901 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 26 A 3, with Prior Kindelan officiating (4), Peter William Farrell aged 6 yrs from Gawler was buried 6 Feb 1882 at Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 17 A 3 (5), and Martin John Farrell aged 4 yrs from Gawler was buried 5 May 1881 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 17 A 3” (6). However the headstone clearly says he was 7 years old, but maybe they mean in his 7th year? If he was only 6 years old, he may have been born c1876, not c1875. I cannot find birth records of the 3 on Genealogy SA, or on RootsWeb, and no death notices for the two young lads. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/farrell_martin,_peter_&_mary.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97593044?searchTerm=Farrell&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31073 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29987 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29946 309 The Thomas Farrell who died in 1907 has his memorial at the base of the three Farrell children discussed in Note 308. However the photo of that headstone is linked to the Thomas Farrell who died in 1881 (1). This Note 309 is confined to discussing the Thomas Farrell who died aged 58 yrs on 23 March 1907 (2), meaning that his year of birth would be c1849 {1907 minus 58}. But it may mean that he was in his 58th year, as the Town of Gawler website states that Thomas Farrell aged 57 yrs from Gawler was buried on 23 March 1907 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 27 A 3, with Father O'Neill officiating (3). This would make his year of birth c1850. This is a bit academic anyway, as I can find no birth record of Thomas Farrell in either year on GenealogySA or on RootsWeb, although there were 16 Farrell births up to 1928 where the Christian names included ‘Thomas’. We can confirm his death, however: “Deaths: Farrell: On the 23rd March, at the residence of Mr R Sheedy, Gawler East, Thomas Farrell, aged 58 years” The Register (Adelaide), Tuesday 26 March 1907 p4 (4). “Obituary: The Late Mr Thomas Farrell: The late Mr Thomas Farrell, who died on Saturday last, was a well-known Gawlerite. For many years he had been a great sufferer from rheumatism, and was only able with difficulty to get about. He was genially disposed and had many friends, who much regretted his decease at the early age of 58 years. The late gentleman came to Gawler when very young, and lived here the greater part of his life. He was a brother of Mrs R Sheedy, of Gawler East” Bunyip, Friday 29 March 1907 p4 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/farrell_peter,_mary,_martin_&_thomas.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/farrell_thomas.jpg 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31654 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/58129285?searchTerm=thomas%20farrell&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97598251?searchTerm=thomas farrell&searchLimits= 310 This Thomas Farrell headstone, although somewhat spattered with a black substance, says that he died aged 70 yrs on 21 Jan 1913 (1), making his year of birth c1843, or c1844 if it means in his 70th year. Certainly the Town of Gawler website has him as being only 69 years old: Thomas Farrell aged 69 years from Sheoak Log was buried 22 Jan 1913 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 53 D 3, with Father O'Neill officiating” (2). As with other Farrell birth records, I cannot find his either. “Deaths: Farrell: On the 21st January, at Sheoak Log, Thomas, beloved husband of Bridget Farrell, in his 70th year.” The Advertiser, Thursday 23 January 1913 p8 (3). This confirms his birth year to be closer to c1844, and it tells us he was married to Bridget Farrell, whose name appears on another surface of the headstone (1). She also has her own photo saying that she died aged 66 yrs on 22 Aug 1920 (4). The Thomas Farrell Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that a Thomas Farrell was married in Adelaide in 1873 to Bridget McDonogh (5), making her year of birth c1854. But there are no birth records for Bridget McDonogh / McDonough at RootsWeb or at GenealogySA. As they share adjoining sides of the oblisk, I’m confident that Thomas and Bridget were married, but does this 1873 marriage mean that this is the same Bridget? I’m not so confidant of that. “Deaths: Farrell: On the 22nd August, at her son in-law's (Mr PJ Carey), Templers, Bridget, relict of the late Thomas Farrell, late of Sheaoak Log, aged 66 years” The Register (Adelaide), Monday 23 August 1920 p6 (6). The ‘P Carey’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Patrick Joseph Carey was married in the Barossa District in 1910 to Agnes Winifred Farrell (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Agnes Winifred Farrell was born on 31 Aug 1888 in Shea-Oak Log SA to parents Thomas Farrell and Bridget Donogh (7), proving the link, although she hasn’t got the ‘Mc’ here. On the LDS website, Thomas Farrell was born Abt 1843 to father Hugh Farrell. Thomas Farrell was married on 27 Nov 1873 in Norwood to Bridget McDonough (born Abt 1855) and they had the following children [1] Mary Ann McDonagh Farrell b 24 Aug 1873 Adelaide; [2] Catherine Bridget Farrell b 22 Aug 1875 Gawler; [3] Esther Mary Farrell born 16 Nov 1877 Sheaoak Log; [4] Hugh Farrell born 17 Jan 1880 Sheaoak Log; [5] Thomas Farrell born 29 Dec 1882 Sheaoak Log; [6] Ellen Maud Farrell born 8 Dec 1885 Shea Oak; [7] Agnes Winifred Farrell born 31 Aug 1888 Sheaoak Log (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/farrell_thomas_2.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32014

The Thomas Farrell discussed here is the one who died in 1881, and not in 1907 [also in Note 309]. Peter Farrell died aged 25 yrs in 1859; Mary Farrell died aged 48 yrs in 1862; Martin Farrell died aged 35 yrs on 11 March 1877; and Thomas Farrell died aged 74 yrs on 26 Feb 1881 (1). Their ages at death indicate that Thomas Farrell was born c1807, Mary Farrell was born c1814; Peter Farrell c1834 and Martin c1842. “Deaths: Farrell: On the 24th instant, at Edith street Gawler, Thomas Farrell, late of Gurreen, King's County, Ireland, aged 74 years” Bunyip, Friday 25 February 1881 p2 (2). Gawler Council’s Burial Records tell us that Martin Farrell aged 33 yrs from Gawler was buried 12 March 1877 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 17 A 3, with Father Bourke officiating” (3), but the headstone says he was 35 yrs old. The Death Notice of Martin Farrell confirms that he was 33 yrs old: “Deaths: Farrell: On the 11th of March, at Gawler, Martin Farrell, aged 33 years, late of Gurreen, King's County, Ireland. A colonist of 20 years” Bunyip, Friday 16 March 1877 p2 (4), meaning that his year of birth was c1844. I could not find a Death Notice for Peter Farrell or Mary Farrell. The lack of birth data, and these death notices imply that most Farrells arrived from Ireland in the 1850s or even later in some cases. Not knowing many people here may help to explain why there are so few newspaper notices of marriages and deaths 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/farrell_peter,_mary,_martin_&_thomas.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/99827348?searchTerm=thomas farrell&searchLimits 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29640 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97220057?searchTerm=Farrell&searchLimits=l-title=371 Clifford SA Fatchen died aged 72 yrs on 2 Sept 1976, husband of Mary, father of Graham (1). The Clifford S Fatchen Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Port Adelaide District in 1937 Clifford Strathmore Argent Fatchen married Mary May Pepper (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Clifford Strathmore Argent Fatchen was born on 18 Apr 1904 in Penfield SA to parents Isaac John Fatchen and Rosina Sophia Radwell Argent (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fatchen_clifford_s.a..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I713882 Ralph Fawcett died aged 46 yrs on 30 June 1944, husband of Myrtle Fawcett (1). The Ralph Fawcett Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Frome District in 1921 Ralph Fawcett married Eva Myrtle Edwards (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ralph Fawcett was born on 6 Jun 1898 in Port Augusta SA to parents Frank Fawcett and Mary Dorothy Coventry (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fawcett_ralph.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I712450 The headstone says Norman Denzil (Ben) Fear died 28th November 1990 aged 38, the loving son of Betty and Ron, brother of Lorraine and Kevin, father of Loriann, Tina, Reece and Amy-Lee (1). At the base of the stone lying on the grave is a rough-hewn wooden cross with the name Ben at its intersecting pieces (2). I cannot find Norman Denzil Fear on the GenealogySA site, even when searching just the name Fear, apart from Advertiser Death Notices for Norman Denzil (Ben) (Benny) fear [4 in 1990, one in 1991, and 1992] and 3 for Ronald Fear in 1988 (3). It seems clear that the two memorials belong to the same person, so I have combined the lines into one entry. But that hasn’t helped us find his date of birth. It’s much too recent for genealogy websites and a Trove search didn’t find his birth notice 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fear_norman_denzil_%28ben%29.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fear_ben.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=RmVhcg==&g=&c=1&y=&r=MA== Joan Heather Feirclough was born 8 March 1940, and died 2 Aug 2006, this said on 1 white wooden cross (1). The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery spells her surname as ‘Feirclogh’ (2), which is not what the headstone says. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/feirclogh_joan_heather.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm Laura Susan Feirclough died aged 75 yrs on 20 March 1973; her husband Arthur Myrven Feirclough died aged 81 (I think 81, there is a reflection on the photo) yrs on 17 Nov 1977 (1), making their years of birth c1898 and c1896 respectively. The Arthur Myrven Feirclough Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1932 in Adelaide he married Laura Susan Wheatley (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Arthur Myrven Feirclough was born on 1 Apr 1896 in Springfield nr Kanmantoo SA to parents Francis Feirclough and Emily Fry (3), and Laura Susan Wheatley was born on 3 Jan 1898 in Nairne SA to parents Richard Wheatley and Mary Ann Teakle (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/feirclough_laura_susan_&_arthur_myrven.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I711550 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I382782 Robert Fergusson died aged 63 yrs on 2 May 1928; Henrietta Fergusson died aged 83 yrs on 31 Oct 1851 (1). If they were a married couple, this doesn’t make sense for Henrietta Fergusson to be have been born {1851 minus 83} in c1768 and Robert in c1865. The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Robert Fergusson died in 1929 (2), but it looks more like 1928 to me; and Henrietta Fergusson died in 1851 (2), although it would make more sense if it was in 1951. If it were 1851, she would have been buried in the old Pioneer Park Cemetery. The Henrietta Fergusson Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Henrietta Lucy Fergusson died in the Norwood District in 1951, with nominated relative her deceased husband Robert Fergusson (3), and the Robert Fergusson Death Index confirms that he died in 1928 (3). Still on GenealogySA, the Robert Fergusson Marriage Index shows that in the Norwood District in 1891, he married Lucy Henrietta Jacobs (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Robert Fergusson was born on 18 Aug 1865 at Monreith Farm nr Adelaide SA to parents Alexander Fergusson and Margaret Fergusson (4), and Lucy Henrietta Jacobs was born as Henrietta Lucy Jacobs on 28 Mar 1868 in North Adelaide to parents Charles Jacobs and Henrietta MacBeth (5). Just for completeness, the Town of Gawler website tells us that Robert Fergusson aged 63 yrs who last
resided in Gawler was buried on 2 May 1928 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 52 E 4, with Rev Chamberlain officiating (6), and Henrietta Lucy Fergusson aged 83 years who last resided in Norwood was buried 2 Nov 1951 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 52 E 4, with Rev Dickinson officiating” (7). They were thus re-united in death. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fergusson_robert_&_henrietta.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I716297 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I69626 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31205 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34276 318 James Fergusson was born bon 17 July 1849, and died 16 Aug 1924; his wife Eliza Ellen Fergusson was born on 5 June 1857, and died 10 June 1938; their daughters Agatha Christmas Fergusson was born 19 Dec 1894, and died 13 Sept 1896; and Elsie Gawler Fergusson died on 11 Dec 1961 (1). The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that James Fergusson was born in 1843 (2), but it seems more like 1849 to me. Also, their first born child was Elsie Gawler Fergusson, and not Mrs Gawler! A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that James Fergusson was born as James Ferguson[sic] on 17 Jul 1849 in Port Adelaide SA to parents Charles Ferguson and Jessie Mc Crostie (3), and Elsie Gawler Fergusson was born as Elsie Gawler Fergason[sic] on 1 Jul 1878 in Gawler to parents James Fergason and Eliza Ellen Annells (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/eg/fergusson_james,_eliza_ellen,_agatha_christmas_&_elsie.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I715779 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I720372 319 Berthold A Feuerherdt died aged 74 yrs on 4 March 1976, his wife Elsa L Feuerherdt nee Garrett died aged 94 yrs on 13 May 2003 (1), making their years of birth c1902 and c1909 respectively. The Berthold Feuerherdt Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Gilbert District in 1929, Berthold Alfred Feuerherdt married Elsa Louisa Garrett (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Berthold Alfred Feuerherdt was born on 30 May 1901 at Neales Flat SA to parents Friedrich Hermann Feuerherdt and Louise Maria Fromin (3), and Elsa Louisa Garrett was born as Elsa Louise[sic] Garrett on 19 Dec 1908 in Tanunda SA to parents Edward Garrett and Johanne Dorothea Altmann (4). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser Newspaper shows one for Berthold Alfred Feuerherdt on 5 March 1976 and for Elsa Louise Feuerherdt on 17 May 2003 (5), and these are consistent with their stated dates of death. Berthold Alfred Feuerherdt’s father Friedrich Hermann Feuerherdt can be found on the LDS website. Friedrich Hermann Feuerherdt was born on 28 Jun 1858 at Head of Light SA to parents Friedrich Christoph Feuerherdt (born Abt 1830, died 29 Dec 1897 Neales Flat SA) and Sophie Neuendorf (born Abt 1832, died 24 Nov 1906 Neales Flat), who had married on 27 May 1855 at Lights Pass SA. Friedrich Hermann Feuerherdt was married aged 23 yrs on 3 Feb 1882 in Tanunda SA to Louise Maria Fromm aged 21 yrs (born 13 May 1860 Schoenborn SA to parents Gottlob Fromm and Augte Dorothea Braunack, died 16 March 1949 Point Pass SA). Friedrich Hermann Feuerherdt was a farmer who had resided at Neales Flat and Point Pass, died 5 Aug 1939 and is buried Point Pass SA. The children of Friedrich Hermann Feuerherdt and Louise Maria Fromm included [1] Anna Louise Raneberg nee Feuerherdt born 23 Jan 1883 nr Eudunda, died 1942; [2] Arthur Hermann Edwin Feuerherdt born 1 Sep 1884 Neales Flat, died 1971; [3] Johannes Benjamin Feuerherdt born 24 Mar 1886 Neales Flat, died 29 Nov 1938 SA; [4] Ottilie Elizabeth Jansen nee Feuerherdt born 7 May 1888 Neales Flat, died 1967; [5] Hermann Hugo Feuerherdt born 29 Dec 1889 Neales Flat, died 1951; [6] Minna Gertrude Feuerherdt born 18 Dec 1892 Neales Flat, died 17 May 1894 Neales Flat; [7] Adelina Olga Eckermann nee Feuerherdt born 18 Mar 1895 Neales Flat, died 1937; [8] Frida Clara Hildegard Dansie nee Feuerherdt born 9 Dec 1897 Neales Flat, died 1967; [9] Berthold Alfred Feuerherdt born 1901, died 1976 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/feuerherdt_berthold_a_&_elsa_l_nee_garrett.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I713285 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I510740 5 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-F.html 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I47730&tree=SouthAustralia 320 Walter Edwin Fiegert died aged 68 yrs on 27 Jan 1985; his wife Emilie Martha Fiegert was born on 12 Nov 1905 and died 11 July 1998, mother of Margaret and Ronda (1). There is no Walter Edwin Fiegert Marriage Index at GenealogySA. There are “Emilie Martha” 35 births in SA (up to 1928) amongst the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, but the only one who could possibly have been born on 12 Nov 1905 is Emilie Martha Jenke, the others all have full birth dates. Emilie Martha Jenke was born in 1905 near Eudunda SA to parents Ernst David Jenke and Christiane Freund (2). As Walter Edwin Fiegert was of the right age to have participated in WWII, a search of the World War Two Nominal shows the Service Record of Walter Edwin Fiegert, who was born on 20 Feb 1917 in Eudunda SA but was living in Gawler SA when he enlisted on 7 Jun 1943 at Wayville SA in the Australian Army, citing as next of kin Emily Fiegert. Lance Corporal Fiegert was discharged on 11 Jan 1946 from 2/8 Australian Infantry Battalion (3). Presumably they were married before 1943. Still searching for confirmation of Emilie Fiegert’s maiden name, I came across the following Marriage Announcement: “Fiegert—Daly: The marriage of Ronda Dawn, daughter of Mr and Mrs WE Fiegert, Gawler, to Trevor John, only son of Mrs HM Daly and the late Mr JF Daly, Freeling, will be solemnised at St Peter and Paul's Church, Gawler, at 3 pm, on Saturday, January 6” The Advertiser, Friday 5 January 1951 p18 (4). I cannot find details of Walter Fiegert’s marriage to Emilie Martha __. It was quite a tight schedule for Walter marrying her and them having a daughter, presumably their second, who got engaged in in 1951. Walter must have been 17 yrs old marrying 29 yrs old Emilie, possibly with their first daughter Margaret on the way. Then Ronda must have been born c1934 to be engaged in 1951. It’s a good story, but needs more consideration. What if Margaret and Ronda weren’t natural daughters of Walter, but from a previous relationship of Emilie’s? It might explain the seemingly tight timing, by her daughters just taking the Fiegert surname when mother married Walter, especially as the headstone doesn’t actually say that Walter was the father (1). There is some indication that this was the case by searching Emilie Martha Jenke’s father (2) on the LDS website: Ernst David Jenke was born on 18 Jul 1862 at St Kitts SA to parents Johann Jenke (born 1818, died 26 Apr 1875 St Kitts Creek SA) and Maria formerly Miersch nee Kleinig (born 1819, died 20 Oct 1911 Eudunda SA). Ernst David Jenke was a farmer who resided in Eudunda and died on 17 Feb 1944 at Eudunda. He was married aged 27 yrs on 5 Feb 1890 in Eudunda to Christiane Freundt aged 19 yrs. Christiane Freundt was born on 23 May 1871 at St Kitts Creek to parents Johann Freundt and Anna Miersch, she was a midwife, and she died on 8 May 1966. The children of Ernst David
Jenke and Christiane Freundt included [1] Johannes Hermann Jenke born 30 Dec 1890 Eudunda, died 1967; [2] Ernstine Ida Heppner nee Jenke [twin] born 9 Sep 1893 Eudunda, died 1974; [3] Pauline Alma Hartmann nee Jenke [twin] born 9 Sep 1893 Eudunda; [4] Maria Selma Jenke born 22 Jun 1897 nr Eudunda, died 2 Nov 1899 nr Eudunda; [5] Sophie Clare Jenke born 31 Aug 1899 nr Eudunda, died 26 Sep 1899 Eudunda; [6] Maria Sophie Ratsch nee Jenke born 13 Apr 1901 nr Eudunda; [7] Emilie Martha Fiegert formerly Hueppauff nee Jenke born 12 Nov 1905 nr Eudunda (5). This last piece of information shows that Emilie Fiegert had indeed been married before she married Walter Edwin, and our surmise that Emilie Martha’s surname was Jenke was correct. The ‘all Hueppauff’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Emilie Martha Jenke was married in the Kapunda District in 1927 to Walter Harold Hueppauff (6). The marriage cannot have been successful as the Walter Harold Hueppauff Death Index shows that he didn’t die until 1958 in the Angaston District, with no nominated relative (6). Back on SA births at RootsWeb Walter Edwin Fiegert was born on 20 Feb 1917 in Eudunda to parents Johann Carl Gustav Fiegert and Pauline Anna Steicke (7), confirming the date of birth on his military record (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fiegert_walter_edwin_&_emilie_martha.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I278154 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=682942 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45701957?searchTerm=Fiegert%20Ronda&searchLimits= 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I125596&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I501948 321 Maude Field died aged 22 yrs on 15 March 1929, wife of Wesley Leeton Field, mother of Elaine (1). The Elaine Field Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Elaine Madge Field was born in Adelaide in 1927 to parents Wesley Leeton Field and Madge Maude Bain (2). Madge Maude Bain was born on 16 Jun 1906 in Gawler to parents Thomas William Bain and Emily Cundy (3). “Deaths: Field: On the 15th March, at Adelaide Hospital, Madge Maude, the beloved wife of Wesley Leeton Field and loving mother of little Elaine, also fourth dearly loved daughter of TW and E Bain of Gawler South, aged 22 years” Bunyip, Friday 22 March 1929 p5 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/field_maude.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I288956 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96668947?searchTerm=maude%20field&searchLimits= 322 Newton C Finch died 19 June 1933; Ada Finch died 17 Dec 1955, which is all the information that this headstone gives (1). The Newton Finch Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1901, Newton Cutler Finch married Ada Quaston[sic] (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Newton Cutler Finch was born on 30 Jun 1867 in Gawler to parents Joshua Finch and Mary Elizabeth Wood (3), and Ada Quaston[sic] was born as Ada Quarton on 21 Sep 1878 in Gawler to parents Edwin Quarton and Rebakah Lister (4). The ‘all Finch’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Newton Cutler and Ada Quarton shows two children were born in the Barossa District [1] Newton Herbert Finch b1905; [2] Laura Evelyn Finch b1909 (2). On the Gawler Council’s Willaston Cemetery Burial Register, Newton Finch aged 65 yrs who last resided in Gawler was buried 20 June 1933 in Willaston Plot/Grave/Niche 3 H 2, with Rev Bevan officiating (5), and Ada Finch aged 77 yrs, who last resided in Glengyle Street, Woodville North, was buried 5 Jan 1956 also in Plot/Grave/Niche 3 H 2 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/finch_newton_c_&_ada.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I716794 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I173429 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32720 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34392 323 This Finch family headstone notes Joshua Finch [1834-1920]; Maria E Finch [1839-1920]; Elliot R Finch [1869-1935]; Ada L Finch [18651937]; Annie M Finch [1865-1941] and Samuel (?Finch?) aged 89 yrs (1). According to the information found on the LDS website, Joshua Finch was born on 24 Jul 1834 in London, England and died on 15 Feb 1920 SA. His parents were John Finch (born 1810 London, died 21 Oct 1876 Gawler SA) and Eliza Cutler (born 3 Mar 1809 London, died 26 Jun 1872 Gawler), who had married on 7 Mar 1831 in Clerkenwell, London, Middlesex, England. Joshua Finch arrived in SA in 1849 aboard the John Henderson and was a carpenter and photographer who resided in Gawler. Joshua Finch was married on 11 Aug 1858 SA to Maria Elizabeth Wood (born 1 May 1839 Adelaide, died 10 Jun 1920 in South Gawler. Her parents were Samuel and Jane Wood). The twelve children of Joshua Finch and Maria Elizabeth Wood were [1] John Joshua Finch born 1 Jul 1859 Gawler, died 2 Apr 1889 Exeter SA; [2] Samuel Finch born 4 Apr 1861 Gawler, died c1950; [3] Annie Maria Finch born 29 Mar 1863 Gawler, died 1941; [4] Ada Lucy Finch born 17 May 1865 Gawler, died 1937; [5] Newton Cutler Finch born 30 Jun 1867 Gawler, died 19 Jun 1933 North Adelaide [see Note 322]; [6] Elliot Raymond Finch born 31 Aug 1869 Gawler, died 26 Aug 1935 SA; [7] Harold William Finch born 17 Dec 1871 Gawler, died 30 Mar 1872 Gawler; [8] Emma Letitia Weston nee Finch born 26 Jan 1873 Gawler, died 1964; [9] Jane Ethel Stephenson nee Finch born 11 Apr 1875 Gawler; [10] Howard William Finch born 20 Aug 1877 Gawler; [11] Horace James Finch born 16 Oct 1879 Gawler; [12] Oswald Harold Finch born 15 Jun 1884 Gawler, died 1918 (2). Further information can also be found on the LDS website about the family of Joshua Finch and Maria Elizabeth Wood. The parents of Maria Elizabeth Wood were Samuel Wood and Sarah Bottrill, although according to the above, she was Jane, not Sarah. Of Joshua and Maria Finch’s children [1] John Joshua Finch was married on 31 Dec 1882 SA to Eliza Annie Brooks; [2] Samuel Finch was married on 19 Apr 1888 at Willaston to Annie Laura Hine; [5] Newton Cutler Finch was married on 24 Sep 1901 in Gawler to Ada Quarton [see Note 322]; [8] Emma Letitia Finch was married on 1 May 1906 in Gawler to Edwin Weston; [9] Jane Ethel Finch was married on 25 Mar 1903 in Gawler to Percy Stephenson; [10] Howard William Finch was married on 31 Aug 1909 in Port Pirie to Amy Laura Farrell; [12] Oswald Harold Finch was married on 8 Aug 1912 in Gawler to Alice Ethel Summerton (3). Of these marriages, the only spouse noted on the headstones of Willaston Cemetery is Annie Laura Hine and she was born on 20 Jul 1864 at Allens Creek SA to parents Thomas Delamain Hine (born 27 Mar 1823 Wirksworth, Derbyshire, England and died 8 Jul 1905 Willaston SA) and Caroline Rivers (born Abt 1826, died 8 Aug 1893 Willaston) (4). Ada Lucy Finch dies in 1937: “Another old Gawlerite in the person of Miss Ada Lucy Finch, of Gawler South, went the "long long journey" on Tuesday {22 June 1937}, her remains being privately interred on the following day, Miss Finch was a native of Gawler, being of a family whose roots go, back to the very early days of Gawler. She was the second daughter of the late Joshua and Maria F Finch, the father carrying on a joiners business at his residence for very many years. Miss Finch had the unique experience of having attended the Gawler School as an infant, passed right through to the pupil teacher period of four years, and after 12 months teaching in the Teachers College, returned and spent 40 years as a fully qualified assistant in the school. She retired in January 1931, when the school staff made suitable recognition of her long service. Mr AJ Keats, head master, drew from the children that the
school's age was 54 years, the foundation stone being laid on April 12, 1877; and throughout that time till her retirement Miss Finch had been associated with the school. She was presented with an escritoire. The Finch families were born teachers, for apart from Miss Ada there were four others who followed the calling. Her passing is mourned by hundreds of erstwhile scholars of the school, who pay tribute to her abilities as a mentor” Bunyip, Friday 25 June 1937 p1 (5). Annie Maria Finch died in 1941: “Deaths: Finch. On the 29th of June, at Gawler, Annie Maria Finch, of 17 Fourth street, Gawler South, eldest daughter of the late Joshua and Maria Finch” The Advertiser, Wednesday 2 July 1941 p12 (6). Samuel Finch died in 1950: “Deaths: Finch: On December 8, at the residence of his daughter (Mrs MA Bradbrook), 64 Roebuck st, Mile End, Samuel, beloved husband of the late Annie Laura Finch, of Gawler, and loved father of George (deceased), Lina, Harry, Win and Mill, aged 89 years” The Advertiser, Saturday 9 December 1950 p26 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/eg/finch_joshua,_maria_e,_elliott_r,_ada_l,_annie_m_&_samuel.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I64856&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F15851&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I153521&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96690519?searchTerm=ada lucy finch&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45012598?searchTerm=annie maria finch&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45665086?searchTerm=samuel finch&searchLimits= 324 This headstone belongs to Stephen Finch who died aged 85 yrs on 31 July 1924; his wife Isabella who died aged 86 yrs on 28 June 1926 (1). Stephen Finch was born on 1 Nov 1838 in London, England and died on 31 Jul 1924 in Gawler SA. His parents were John Finch (born 1810 London, died 21 Oct 1876 Gawler) and Eliza Cutler (born 3 Mar 1809 London, died 26 Jun 1872 Gawler), who had married on 7 Mar 1831 in Clerkenwell, London, Middlesex, England. {This means that Stephen Finch was Joshua Finch’s younger brother, see Note 323}. Stephen Finch also arrived in SA in 1849 aboard the Robert Henderson {although Joshua’s record says it was the John Henderson}. Stephen was a carpenter who lived in Gawler, and was married aged 26 yrs on 2 Oct 1865 in Gawler to Isabella Whaley aged 25 yrs (born on 8 Oct 1840 to parents William Whaley and Mary Ann Bodgby, and she died 28 June 1926 in Gawler). The children of Stephen Finch and Isabella Whaley were [1] Walter Finch born 8 Feb 1867 Gawler, died 5 Apr 1874 Gawler; [2] Herbert Finch born 16 Jun 1869 Gawler, died 16 Jun 1872 Gawler; [3] Arthur Finch born 7 Jan 1872 Gawler, died 1 Feb 1902 Gawler South; [4] Elsie Emma Duell nee Finch born 12 Mar 1875 Gawler, died 1917; [5] Florie Eliza Finch born 7 Jul 1878 Gawler, died 1978; [6] Violet Daisy Finch born 11 Feb 1883 Gawler, died 1967 (2). This Finch family headstone has the names of children of Stephen and Isabella Finch [2] Herbert, died June 16th 1872 aged ?5 years; [1] Walter may have died in April 1875 aged 7 years 2 months; [3] Arthur, none of the writing I can decipher (3). However, thanks to the LDS data above, we can supply the details. We can say that Herbert died aged 3 yrs, not the 5 yrs I thought the headstone said. And Walter died in 1874 aged 7 yrs. The Burial Records on the Gawler Council website supplies the final decision on ages at, and years of, death. Stephen Finch aged 85 years from Gawler South was buried 1 Aug 1924 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 33 F 2, with Rev Dorman officiating (4), Isabella Finch from Gawler South was buried 30 June 1926 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 34 F 2, with Rev Dorman also officiating (5), Walter Finch aged 7 yrs from Gawler South was buried 7 April 1874 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 31 P 1, with Rev RS Casely officiating (6), Herbert Finch aged 3 yrs of Gawler South, was buried 17 June 1872 Plot/Grave/Niche 31 P 1, also with Rev RS Casely officiating (7), and Arthur Finch aged 30 yrs from Gawler South was buried 1 Feb 1902 in the same Plot/Grave/Niche 31 P 1, with Rev AP Burgess officiating (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/finch_stephen_&_isabella.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I37545&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/finch_herbert,_walter_&_arthur.jpg 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32490 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31146 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29416 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29317 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31086 325 This old headstone says that Christina Finch died aged 54 yrs on 27 Sept 194_; her husband Roy NB Finch died aged 72 yrs on 14 June 1959 (1). The Roy Finch Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Norwood District in 1910, Roy Norman Blackler Finch was married to Christina Halliday (2). According to the LDS website, Roy Norman Blackler Finch was born on 13 Mar 1887 in Exeter SA to parents John Joshua Finch (born 1 Jul 1859 Gawler SA, died 2 Apr 1889 Exeter) and Eliza Annie Brooks (born 16 Apr 1861 Gawler, died 10 Apr 1941 SA) who had married on 31 Dec 1882 SA. Roy Norman Blackler Finch was married aged 23 yrs on 29 Dec 1910 at Knightsbridge SA to Christina Halliday aged 19 yrs (she was born 18 Apr 1891 at Gawler Plains SA). There being no Christina Finch Death Index at GenealogySA we must seek out old newspapers notices: “Deaths: Finch: On September 27, at Hutchlnson Hospital, Gawler, Christina, beloved wife of Roy NB Finch, of 11 Adelaide road, Gawler South, and loved mother of Eric, aged 54 years” News (Adelaide), Thursday 27 September 1945 p6 (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Christina Halliday was born on 18 Apr 1891 in Gawler Plains (now Smithfield SA) to parents Henry Halliday and Isabella Cullen (5), confirming the date found on the LDS website. As noted above, the father of Roy Norman Blackler Finch was John Joshua Finch. According to data on the LDS website, John Joshua Finch was born on 1 Jul 1859 in Gawler, died aged 29 yrs on 2 Apr 1889 at Exeter SA and is buried in CheltenhamCemetery. His parents were Joshua Finch and Maria Elizabeth Wood (see Note 323). John Joshua Finch, who was a store manager residing in Gawler and Pt Adelaide, was married on 31 Dec 1882 Gawler to Eliza Annie Brooks (born 16 Apr 1861 Gawler to parents John Blacker Brooks and Emily Smith, died 10 Apr 1941 in Evanston SA). The children of John Joshua Finch and Eliza Annie Brooks were [1] Emily Olive Finch born 27 Sep 1883 Port Adelaide; [2] Ida Cutler Finch born 27 Feb 1885 Port Adelaide; [3] Roy Norman Blackler Finch born 13 Mar 1887 Exeter; [4] Clarice Elinor Finch born 15 May 1889 Gawler (6). Emily Olive Finch died aged 84 yrs on 5 Oct 1967, and shares her headstone with her mother Eliza Annie Jordan, wife of Llewellyn Jordan (7). The ‘L Jordan’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1890, the year after John Joshua Finch died, Eliza Annie Finch was married in the Barossa District to Llewellyn Jordan (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/finch_christina_&_roy_n.b..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I153519&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/130233378?searchTerm=christina finch&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I36826 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I64858&tree=SouthAustralia

We have briefly mentioned John and Eliza Finch in Notes 323, 324 as parents of brothers of Joshua and Stephen Finch. According to the information found at the LDS website, John Finch was born on 1 March 1810 in London, England and died aged 66 yrs on 21 Oct 1876 in Gawler SA. John Finch, whose father was John Sibley Finch, arrived in SA with his wife and 7 surviving children in 1849 aboard the Robert Henderson and was a carpenter, undertaker, and councillor living in Gawler. John Finch was married on 7 Mar 1831 in Clerkenwell, London to Eliza Cutler (born 3 Mar 1809 London to parents Edward and Emma Cutler, and Eliza died 26 Jun 1872 Gawler). The children of John Finch and Eliza Cutler {the first 11 born in London} were [1] Eliza Thomas nee Finch born 1831, died 1922 SA; [2] John Samuel Finch born 1833, died 1834 London; [3] Joshua Finch born 24 Jul 1834, died 15 Feb 1920 SA; [4] Hannah Finch born 1836, died 29 Jul 1905 Gawler; [5] Stephen Finch born 1 Nov 1838, died 31 Jul 1924 Gawler; [6] Letitia Finch born 1841, died 28 Jun 1866 Roseworthy SA; [7] John Finch born 1842, died 1842 London; [8] Martha Gartrell nee Finch born 1843, died 1919 SA; [9] Cornelius Finch born 1845, died 1845 London; [10] Ann Finch born 1846, died 1849 London; [11] Emma Finch born 1848, died 31 May 1866 Gawler; [12] Elizabeth Cutler Finch born 21 Oct 1851 Gawler, died 1930 SA; [13] Edward Cutler Finch born 16 Sep 1854 Gawler, died 19 Dec 1855 SA (2), a total of 7 children reaching adulthood. On her headstone Elizabeth Cutler Finch was born 21 Oct 1851 and died 31 Dec 1930 (3). It is noted that the “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that she died in 1890 (4), which as we found out from the above data, is wrong, proven so by excerpts from her wonderful Obituary: “Miss Elizabeth Cutler Finch: One of Gawler's oldest and most respected residents died at the Hutchinson Hospital on December 31st. Miss Finch who was the youngest daughter of the late John Finch (who came to Gawler from England in 1849) was born in Gawler South on October 21st, 1851. Her birth was registered in Adelaide as there was no local Registrar. She was educated at Miss Elmore's school, and later assisted her sister Hannah in the school at Roseworthy of which she was in charge. After about twenty-five years' residence there Miss Finch returned to Gawler where she resided for the rest of her life. .... Her life was long and full of usefulness and loving service. .... Through her illness she had lost the use of her right hand, but she taught herself to write with her left, that she might be able to answer some at least of the letters she received. The last time I saw her was a few hours before she died. She was happy and cheerful; spoke of the delightful Christmas-time she had had; was pleased with the cards and tokens of affectionate remembrance which she had received, made a joke about the load of Christmas letters the matron had had to carry in, and was looking forward to seeing her many friends. During the night she became unconscious and died peacefully at about 7 o'clock in the morning. So ended a life of gentle loving Christian service, — Rev Willett Bevan” Bunyip, Friday 23 January 1931 p4 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/finch_eliza_&_john.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I153495&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/finch_elizabeth_cutler.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96640542?searchTerm=elizabeth%20cutler%20finch&searchLimits= 327 VJ (Bun) Finch was born on 12 June 1914, died 23 March 2002, husband of Sylvia, father of James, Robert, Charles and Susanne (1). The ‘V Finch’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Grey District in 1914, Vernall James Finch was born to parents Henry James Finch and Emma Louisa Robinson (2). According to the LDS website, Henry James Finch was born on 27 Jul 1892 in Gawler, and died 3 Jul 1972 in SA. His parents were Samuel Finch (born 4 Apr 1861 Gawler) and Annie Laura Hine (born 20 Jul 1864 Allens Creek SA), who had married on 19 Apr 1888 at Willaston. Henry James Finch was married on 10 Feb 1914 in Mount Gambier to Louisa Robinson (born 1885) (3). Vernal James (Bun) Finch died in 2002, appearing in the GenealogySA’s Advertiser Death Notices for that year (2). The Savill Index has his Funeral Notice in the Advertiser on 25 March 2002 (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Vernall James Finch was born on 12 Jun 1914 in Rosaville SA to parents Henry James Finch and Emma Louisa Robinson (5), agreeing with the date of birth on the headstone. Still using RootsWeb, we find that the Bruce Finch buried at Willaston was a brother of Vernall James Finch. The RootsWeb site tells us that Bruce Finch was born on 8 Feb 1928 in Gawler to parents Henry James Finch and Emma Louisa Robinson (6), confirming the date on his headstone which says that Bruce Finch was born 8 Feb 1928 and died 8 Nov 2004, husband of Dorothy, father of Glenn and Heather (7). The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Bruce Finch was born in 1926 (8), but the headstone / plaque clearly says 1928, which was confirmed by his birth records at RootsWeb 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/finch_v.j..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I153539&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-F.html 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I502359 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I502400 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/finch_bruce.jpg 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 328 The headstone tells us that John H Fischer died 3rd Sept 1929; his wife Florence Fischer died 5th Jan 1965 (1). The John H Fischer Marriage Index at GenealogySA says that John Harold Fischer was married in the Barossa District in 1904 to Florence Edith Mullen (2). The information on the LDS website tells us that John Harold Fischer was born on 9 Oct 1880 at Redbanks SA to parents Heinrich Ernst Fischer (born 23 Sep 1838 Germany, died 11 Aug 1910 Prospect SA) and Mary Ann Matters {or Metters} (born 6 Mar 1842 England, and died 17 Jan 1901 Glen Osmond SA), who had married on 25 Dec 1860 in North Adelaide. John Harold Fischer was married aged 24 yrs on 19 Oct 1904 at Woolsheds SA to Florence Edith Mullen, and they had at least one child [1] Ernest Heinrich Charles Fischer born 24 Oct 1905 Reeves Plains (3). Still using LDS data, Florence Edith Mullen was born on 21 Nov 1881 at Wasleys SA to parents Charles Mullen (born 1843) and Margaret Pratt (born 1860) (4). The ‘all Fischer’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Harold Fischer and Florence Edith Mullen shows 8 children all born in the Barossa District except for the first set of twins born in 1907 in the Gilbert District [1] Ernest Heinrich Charles Fischer b1905; [2] John Harold Fischer b1907; [3] Gordon Harold John Fischer b1907; [4] Leonard Sydney Fischer b1911; [5] Norris Richard Fischer b1911; [6] Oswald Lindsay Fischer b1912; [7] Reginald Edgar Fischer b1915; [8] Frank Leslie Fischer b1922 (2). Laura Jane Fischer died aged 65 yrs on 2 May 1977; Gordon JH Fischer died aged 79 yrs on 5 June 1987; parents of Valmai and Donald (5). The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Gordon JH Fischer died aged 7 yrs, when although indistinct, the headstone says 79 yrs. The Gordon Fischer Marriage Index shows that in Gawler in 1936, Gordon Harold John Fischer was married to Laura May[sic] Reed (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Laura Jane Reed was born on 30 May 1911 in Hatherleigh SA to parents Charles John Reed and Alice
Florence Walden (7), and Gordon Harold John Fischer was born on 1 Oct 1907 in Reeves Plains SA to parents John Harold Fischer and Florence Edith Mullen (8). Leonard Sydney Fischer was born on 10 Jan 1911 and died 9 June 1994; his wife Lorna Avis Clorine Fischer was born 6 Feb 1917 and died 24 July 1994; parents of Marlene, Malcolm and Rosalyn (9). The Leonard Sydney Fischer Marriage Index shows that he was married in Adelaide in 1933 to Lorna Avis Clorine Crooks (2). The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Lorna Avis Clorine Crooks was born on 16th Feb 1915 (6), but it looks more like the 6th Feb 1915 to me. Back on RootsWeb, Lorna Avis Clorine Crook[sic] was born on 6 Feb 1915 in Gawler SA to parents George Crook and Bertha Mary Gangell (10), confirming that the headstone should read 6 Feb, not 16 Feb. On their headstone, Dorothy Amy Fischer was born on 18 Sept 1911 and died aged 95 yrs on 19 Dec 2006; her husband Norris Richard Fischer was born 10 Jan 1911 and died aged 54 yrs on 28 July 1965; parents of of Jeffrey and Allen (11). The Norris Richard Fischer Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Pinnaroo District in 1935 to Dorothy Amy Jennings (2). On their headstone, Edith Fischer died aged 50 yrs on 10 July 1970; her husband Reginald Fischer died aged 79 yrs on 19 Oct 1995; parents of Brian and Joylene (12). There is no Reginald Fischer Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so we must search for newspaper notices: “Marriages: Congdon—Fischer: The marriage of Edith G Congdon, of Templers, to Reginald Fischer, of Wasleys, will be solemnised at the Templers Methodist Church on Oct 17, at 2.30 pm. Relatives and friends invited to ceremony” The Advertiser, Tuesday 6 October 1942 p6 (13). Back on RootsWeb we find that Reginald Edgar Fischer was born on 24 Oct 1915 in Gawler to parents John Harold Fischer and Florence Edith Mullen (14), and Edith G Congdon was born as Edith Gladys Congdon on 17 Feb 1920 in Templers SA to parents Leonard Hall Congdon and Lorina Agnes Marie Hansen (15). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fischer_john_h_&_florence.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I153209&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I153292&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fischer_laura_jane_&_gordon_j.h..jpg 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I632907 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I502636 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fischer_leonard_sydney_&_lorna_avis_clorine.jpg 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I479213 11 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fischer_dorothy_amy_&_norris_richard.jpg 12 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fischer_edith_&_reginald.jpg 13 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48885992?searchTerm=Reginald%20Fischer%20Edith&searchLimits= 14 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I502717 15 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I473332 329 This headstone says Harry Fischer died aged 67 yrs on 16 Sept 1949 {someone seems to have tried to turn the last ‘9’ into a ‘0’}; his wife Mary Ann Fischer died aged 71 years 30 June 1960 (1). There is no Harry Fischer Marriage Index at GenealogySA, in fact nothing much at all appears about Harry Fischer on GenealogySA. However a search of Newspapers reveals this death on 16 Sept 1949: “Fischer: On September 16 (suddenly), at his residence, Korunye, Lewis Henry Ernest, beloved husband of Mary Ann Fischer, and loved father of Eric, Mavis and Ron, aged 67 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 22 September 1949 p34 (2). The Lewis Henry Ernest Fischer Marriage Index shows that Lewis Henry Ernest Fischer was married in the Barossa District in 1908 to Mary Ann Mullen (3). Clearly the chance of two Fischer males both aged 67 years each married to a Mary Ann dying on the same day is extremely small, so we must conclude that Lewis Henry Ernest Fischer is actually Harry Fischer. The Town of Gawler’s Willaston Cemetery Burial Records has a Lewis Henry Ernest Fischer {but no Harry} aged 67 yrs from Korunye who was buried 17 Sept 1949 in Plot/Grave/Niche 38 K 4, with Rev Stubley officiating (4). On the LDS website, Lewis Henry Ernest Fischer was born 2 Jun 1882 at Port Gawler SA to parents Heinrich Ernst Fischer (born 23 Sep 1838 and died 11 Aug 1910 Prospect SA) and Mary Ann Matters or Metters (born 6 Mar 1842, England and died 17 Jan 1901 Glen Osmond SA), who were married 25 Dec 1860 in North Adelaide. Lewis Henry Ernest Fischer married Mary Ann Mullen [b1889] on 12 Aug 1908 nr Wasleys SA (5). Mary Ann Mullen’s parents were Charles Mullen and Margaret Pratt (6). This means that Mary Ann Mullen was a sister of Florence Edith Mullen – see Note 328. But I have not uncovered Mary Ann Mullen’s actual date of birth other than c1889. The ‘all Fischer’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Lewis Henry Ernest Fischer and Mary Ann Mullen shows 3 children born in the District [1] Eric Stanley Fischer b1909; [2] Mavis Mary Fischer b1912; [3] Ronald Henry Fischer b1917 (mother Mary Ann Muller[sic])(3). These names match the names mentioned in the death notice, and the fact that two of three are buried in Willaston Cemetery adds further weight to the hypothesis that Lewis Henry Ernest Fischer was called Harry. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Eric Stanley Fischer was born on 8 Jun 1909 in Gawler to parents Lewis Henry Ernest Fischer and Mary Ann Mullen (7), and Ronald Henry Fischer was born on 30 Sep 1917 in Gawler to the same parents Lewis Henry Ernest Fischer and Mary Ann Muller[sic] (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fischer_harry_&_mary_ann.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93218600?searchTerm=harry fischer mary ann&searchLimits= 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34106 5 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I25640&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://histfam.familysearch.org/familygroup.php?familyID=F6432&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I502650 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I502731 330 George Fisher died aged 85 yrs on 3 July 1957; his wife Mary Fisher died aged 88 yrs on 18 Aug 1964; their daughter Sarah Fisher died aged 82 yrs on 10 April 1982 (1). The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery incorrectly says that Mary Fisher died the same day and at the same age as her husband George Fisher (2), which is not what the headstone says. The Sarah Fisher Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Sarah Isabella Fisher was born in 1900 in the Daly District to parents George Daniel Fisher and Mary Mann (3), and the George Fisher Marriage Index shows that George Daniel Fisher was married in the Daly District in 1895 to Mary Mann (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that George Daniel Fisher was born on 18 Sep 1872 at Surveyors Point Gum Flat SA to parents Charles Fisher {born c1844} and Sarah Ann Sparrow {born c1846} (4), Sarah Isabella Fisher was born in 1900 in Kadina SA to parents George Daniel Fisher and Mary Mann (5), and Mary Mann was born on 18 Aug 1876 at Hd of Clinton SA to parents Frederick Mann and Isabella Harrison (6). Unfortunately I cannot find a reecord of Sarah Isabella Fisher’s precise date of birth on RootsWeb or in the old newspapers. A search of the ‘all Fisher’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking
offspring of George Daniel Fisher and Mary Mann shows just one child, Sarah Isabella Fisher b1900 (3). A search on the LDS website shows that George Daniel Fisher was born on 18 Sep 1872 at Surveyors Point, Gum Flat SA to parents Charles Fisher (born Abt 1843) and Sarah Ann Sparrow (born Abt 1845, died 24 Oct 1918 SA), who had married 26 May 1867 in Port Lincoln SA. George Daniel Fisher was married on 13 Feb 1895 at Kulpara SA to Mary Mann (born 18 Aug 1876 Head of Clinton SA), and together they had the one child Sarah Isabella Fisher (born 8 Jan 1900 Kadina SA) (7). Still using LDS information, Mary Mann was born on 18 Aug 1876 at Head of Clinton SA to parents Frederick Mann (born Abt 1843 Wales UK and died 22 Jul 1909 in Kadina SA) and Isabella Harrison (born 8 Jul 1856 Port Adelaide, and died 12 Jun 1914 at Pinnaroo SA), who had married 25 Sep 1874 at Cocoanut SA (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fisher_george,_mary_&_sarah.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I718392 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I272821 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I143015 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I153034&tree=SouthAustralia 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I257038&tree=SouthAustralia 331 Norman Andrew Fisher died aged 48 yrs on 30 June 1971, late 2nd AIF, son of Ada Fisher and the late Norman Fisher (1), making his year of birth to be c1923. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Norman Andrew Fisher was born on 18 Apr 1923 in Eudunda SA to parents Norman Edwin Fisher and Ada Noble (2). A search on the WWII Military Nominal Roll shows the Service Record for Norman Andrew Fisher who is listed as being born on 18 Apr 1922 in Eudunda SA and was residing in Kapunda SA when he enlisted in the Australian Army on 8 Jan 1942 in Adelaide SA, citing his father Norman Fisher as his Next of Kin. Private Fisher was discharged on 20 Jan 1947 from 14 Australian Advanced Ammunition Depot (3). Was his 1922 birth date correct, a mistake, or had he lowered it from 1923 to join the Army when only 19 yrs old? I cannot find a newspaper birth notice to confirm either way, but the Norman Andrew Fisher Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in the Kapunda District in 1923 to parents Norman Edwin Fisher and Ada Noble (4), and the Norman Fisher Death Index tells us that his father Norman Edwin Fisher died in the Kapunda District in 1947 (4), and also that when Norman Andrew Fisher died in Adelaide in 1947, the nominated relative was his wife Elaine Joy Fisher (4). I found some relevant newspaper notices: Engagements: Dwyer—Fisher: The engagement is announced of Elaine Joy, only daughter of Mr and Mrs RG Dwyer, to Norman Andrew, youngest son of Mr and Mrs NE Fisher, both of Kapunda” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Tuesday 15 April 1947 p14 (5), and also “Births: Fisher (nee Dwyer): On April 16, at Kapunda Hospital, to Elaine and Andy—a son (Alan Andrew). Both well” The Advertiser, Tuesday 20 April 1948 p8 (6). On his headstone Alan Andrew Fisher was born on 16 April 1948 and died aged 24 yrs on 2 Jan 1973, son of Elaine and Andy (dec’d), brother of Ronny, Colin, Dianne, Julie, Gary, Mark, Debbie, Mandy and Tanya (7). This confirms the date of birth found in the newspaper, and also hints of a younger brother Mark Fisher who may well be the Mark Shaun Fisher also buried in Willaston. This is confirmed by the Mark Shaun Fisher headstone which says that he was born on 30 March 1966 and died aged 33 yrs on 2 May 1999, son of Elaine and Andy (dec’d) Fisher (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fisher_norman_andrew.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I503065 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=679427 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/74634452?searchTerm=norman%20fisher%20elaine&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43764000?searchTerm=Dwyer%20Fisher&searchLimits= 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fisher_alan_andrew.jpg 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fisher_mark_shaun.jpg 332 William Fishwick died aged 64 yrs on 3 Dec 1909 (1), making his year of birth c1845. The William Fishwick Death Index at GenealogySA confirms that William Fishwick died in the Barossa District in 1909, with no nominated relative noted (2), but this is the only reference to William Fishwick at GenealogySA, and doesn’t appear on the LDS records at least under that name. On the Town of Gawler website, William Fishwick aged 64 yrs who last resided at Gulf View was buried on 4 Dec 1909 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 52 H 3, with Father O'Neill officiating (3). But that is all I have been able to find out about William Fishwick, despite searches of old newspapers 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fishwick_william.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31806&print=1 333 Edward Fitch died aged 78 yrs on 13 May 1954; his wife Laura Fitch died aged 87 yrs on 4 Feb 1968? (1). The Laura Fitch Death Index at Genealogy SA, Laura Sophia Wilhelmina Fitch died in Gawler in 1968, wife of the late Edward Fitch (2), and the Edward Fitch Marriage Index shows that he was married in Adelaide in 1905 to Laura Sophia Wilhelmina Driesener (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that an Edward Michael Fitch was born on 9 Apr 1875 in Thebarton, Adelaide to parents Michael Edward Fitch and Jessey Ingham (3), and Laura Sophia Wilhelmina Driesener was born as Laura Sophia Wilhelmine[sic] Driesener on 15 Feb 1880 in Buchfelde SA to parents Carl Johann Gottlieb Driesener and Rebecca Henrietta Schnaars (4). Clearly this is the correct Laura Fitch, but I’m not so sure about Edward Fitch’s birth details unless we can find other reference to him having a middle name. On searching old newspapers: “Deaths: Fitch: On May 19, at Hutchinson Hospital, Edward, the beloved husband of Laura Fitch, of 22 King st, Gawler, and loved brother of Elizabeth (Mrs Melville) and Rose (Mrs Taylor), of WA. Aged 79 years” The Advertiser, Friday 21 May 1954 p24 (5), but no middle name is given here for either Edward or Laura. On a genealogy website called Geneanet, there is a page dedicated to the “Family Tree of Gill Owen”, and here they say that Edward Fitch was actually born in 1875 in England, and died aged 79 yrs on 19 May 1954 in Gawler SA. The date of death tallies with our Edward Fitch. The information goes on to say that the parents of Edward Fitch were Edward Fitch (born in 1848 in St Marks, Middlesex, England, died aged 73 in 1921) and Jane Margaret Fitch (born 2 September 1850 –at St James W, London, England, baptized 29 September 1850 at St Lukes, Pancras, England, and died aged 47 yrs on 28 July 1898 in Walkerville SA). So the above Edward Michael Fitch is not our Edward Fitch. It confirms that Edward Fitch married Laura Sophia Wilhelmina Driesener. The children of Edward and Jane Margaret Fitch were [1] Ellison Fitch b1868, who married Thomas Christopher Doyle; [2] Emily Fitch b1871; [3] Edward Fitch b1875, who married Laura Sophia Wilhelmina Driesener; [4] Louisa Fitch 1877-1881; [5] William Fitch 1879-1881; [6] Ellen Fitch b1881; [7] Mabel Fitch 1883-1884; [8] Lucy Fitch b1884; [9] Florence Annie Fitch 1893-1893 (6). These names don’t explain the funeral notice’s mention of sisters Elizabeth and Rose, whose marriages were not in SA records up to the 1930’s. On the Town of Gawler website, Edward Fitch aged 79 yrs who last resided in Gawler was buried on 21 May 1954 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 55 O 4, with Rev Bleby officiating (7).

Much of the blackened lettering has been scratched off or hasworn away (1). The Helen F Fitzgerald Death Index at GenealogySA (her only mention using that surname) says that Helen Flockart Fitzgerald died in 1961 in the Norwood District, with nominated relative her nephew FG Forgie (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there is no record of an SA birth up to 1928 where the first names were ‘Helen Flockart’ let alone one born c1884, although there was a Hellen[sic] Fitzgerald born on 10 Mar 1883 at Black Rock SA to parents Michael Fitzgerald and Catherine Griffey (3). However a search just using the first name ‘Flockart’ reveals Ellen Flockart Forgie who was born on 9 Aug 1883 in Gawler to parents Alexander Forgie and Sarah Ann Cheek (4). There is no Ellen, or Helen, Flockart Forgie marriage to a Fitzgerald on GenealogySA. The nine children of Alexander Forgie and Sarah Ann Cheek, all born in Gawler, are described in Note 909. We are only interested in rheir last born 9] Ellen Flockart Fitzgerald nee Forgie born 9 Aug 1883, and she died in 1961. But they do not describe her marriage detail, only what her married name was, on the LDS website. On a genealogy website called “Gen-i”, Helen Flockart Forgie was born on 9 August 1883 in Gawler, died 29 July 1961 in Gawler, and is buried in Willaston Cemetery. She was the daughter of Alexander Forgie and Sarah Ann Forgie, with siblings Robert Forgie; Henry Thomas Forgie; Isabella Forgie; James Forgie; Alexander Philip Forgie; Thomas Forgie; Emily Jane Forgie and Mathew Wilson Forgie, and was a half sister of James Forgie. Helen Flockart Forgie aged 32 yrs was married in Gawler in 1916 (by proxy) to Lawrence Henry Fitzgerald, and they had a child
Fitzgerald (5). Lawrence Henry Fitzgerald was born on 24 October 1888 at Milang SA, died 25 April 1918 at Baverstock[sic], Wiltshire, England, and is buried at Baverstock, 181 Haverstock (St Edith) Churchyard, Wiltshire, England. He was aged 27 yrs when he was married by proxy to Helen Flockart Forgie (6). The ‘all Fitzgerald’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking the child of Lawrence Henry Fitzgerald and Helen Flockart Forgie shows that in the Port Adelaide District in 1917, Hugh Lawrence Fitzgerald was born to father “Null” and Helen Flockhart Forgie (2), although at least he was given the surname Fitzgerald. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fitzgerald_helen_f..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I722658 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I722833 5 http://www.geni.com/people/Helen-Forgie/6000000005250101434 6 http://www.geni.com/people/Lawrence-Fitzgerald/6000000005250104742 James Fitzgerald’s headstone, when he died aged 36 on 4th March 1895, was erected by the Gawler Football Association and his fellow townsmen (1). James Fitzgerald aged 36 from Gawler was buried 7/3/1895 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 6 B 3, Rev Prior Murphy officiating (2). James Fitzpatrick was a local identity, as this report shows “Football Sports. It was a happy idea to promote an afternoon's sports for the purpose of raising funds for a memorial stone over the grave of the late James Fitzgerald. Ten years ago 'Jimmy Fitz,' as he was called, was one of the finest footballers and athletes in the colony, and head and shoulders above his local compeers. Born in Gawler he fought hard for tbe glory of the town in the athletic arena, and bore home many a trophy of his skill. It is feared, however, that in his enthusiasm he overtaxed his strength, and thus laid the foundations of the disease which consigned him some months ago to an early grave. About £5 was raised by Saturday's engagement, and further efforts will be made to secure a sufficient sum to carry out the object of the promoters”. Bunyip, Friday 11 October 1895 p4 (3). His father followed soon after, as reported in the Bunyip, Friday 20 December 1895 p2: “Sudden Death. On Saturday last Mr Maurice Fitzgerald, aged about 70, and an old resident of Gawler South, died somewhat suddenly. He had been ailing for some time and Dr Popham saw him one day last week. His demise, however, was unexpected. He was the father of Mr James Fitzgerald, the well-known athlete, who died at the beginning of this year” (4). Maurice Fitzgerald aged 69 years from Gawler was buried 15/12/1895 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 41 B 3, Rev Father Carr officiating (5). James Fitzgerald may have been born in Gawler, but there is no official record of his date of birth at GenealogySA or on RootsWeb, or in the newspapers 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fitzgerald_james.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30770 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97569869?searchTerm=James%20Fitzgerald&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97572786?searchTerm=James%20Fitzgerald&searchLimits=l-title=371 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30816 The headstone says Mary M Fitzgerald, daughter of the late Honopa and John Fitzgerald, died 27th Aug 1944 (1). The John Fitzgerald Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in Adelaide in 1855, John Fitzgerald was married to Honora Canovan (2). “Deaths: Fitzgerald: On August 27, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler (suddenly), Mary, youngest daughter of the late John and Hanorah Fitzgerald, of Salisbury” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 31 August 1944 p13 (3). What a pity they didn’t include her age in this Death Notice. The Town of Gawler has on their Burial Register a Margaret Mary Fitzgerald aged 70 years [last residence c/- Catholic Presbytery] who was buried 29 Aug 1944 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 56 N 3, with Father O`Sullivan officiating (4), clearly from the dates it is Mary M Fitzgerald to whom that refers. If she was 70 yrs in 1944, her year of birth would be c1874, which is 19 yrs after John and Honorah Fitzgerald were married, but Mary was the youngest daughter. Unfortunately there is no record of births on the ‘all Fitzgerald’ Bith Index to parents John and Honorah Fitzgerald at GenealogySA, and no record of the birth of Margaret Mary {or Mary Margaret} Fitzgerald on RootsWeb. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fitzgerald_mary_m.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92806199?searchTerm=mary%20fitzgerald&searchLimits= 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33645 Avis M Fitzpatrick died aged 45 yrs on 5th Dec 1981, wife of Terry, mother of Deborah and Cheryl (1). A search of Avis Fitzpatrick at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices reveals that there was a death notice in the Advertiser in 1981 for Avis Mary Fitzpatrick (2). However, the fact that Avis Mary ___ was born c1936 it is unlikely that we can find her maiden name by searching genealogy sites or even Trove. Winifred Emily Fitzpatrick was born 12 Jan 1912 and died aged 85 yrs on 31 Oct 1997; wife of Bill, mother of Terry and Brian (3). William George Fitzpatrick died aged 75 yrs on 21 March 1987 (4). Most likely this means these were the parents in law of Avis Mary
Fitzpatrick, married to their son Terry. There is no William George Fitzpatrick Marriage Index at GenealogySA, nor is there his Birth Index. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there is no record of a 1912 birth of a Winifred Emily __, and they show no birth record of William George Fitzpatrick. On his headstone, Bruce Albert Francis Fitzpatrick died aged 73 yrs on 2 June 2001; husband of Dulcie Grace; father of Karen and Lorraine (5). I haven’t found birth or marriage data for him either. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fitzpatrick_avis_m.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fitzpatrick_winifred_emily.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fitzpatrick_william_george.jpg 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fitzpatrick_bruce_albert_francis.jpg 338 This headstone tells us that Henry Hill Flamank died on 22 May 1942; Ann Flamank was born on 9 Aug 1942 and died on 24 Aug 1942 (1). The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Henry Hill Flamank died in 1922 (2), but clearly says 1942 on the headstone. The Henry Hill Flamank Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1912, he married Mabel Edith Anna Bannear (3). The ‘all Flamank’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Henry Hill Flamank and Mabel Edith Anna Bannear, show two children, bgoth born in the Gilbert District [1] Muriel Mabel Flamank b1913; [2] Cecil Henry Flamank b1914 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Henry Hill Flamank was born on 10 Nov 1882 in Eudunda SA to parents Henry Hill Flamank and Margaret Laws (4). Deaths: Flamank: On May 22, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Henry Hill, beloved husband of Mabel Edith Flamank, of 1 Finess st. Gawler” The Advertiser, Saturday 23 May 1942 p10 (5). “Obituary: The death took place (suddenly) at the Hutchinson hospital on May 22nd, of Mr Henry Hill Flamank of Finnis street, Gawler. Mr Flamank entered hospital for correction of a previous illness and collapsed following an operation. He left a widow and two children — Cecil, of the RAAF, and Sister Muriel Flamank, of Adelaide. Mr Flamank was a staunch Rechabite, belonging to the Gawler tent; he was also an Oddfellow of the Salisbury branch for 40 years. He was in his 60th year. Peculiarly, Mr Flamank learnt his trade as a butcher with Whittlesea's of Salisbury, and he was again engaged by this firm at the time of his death. In the meantime he worked for Berryman, of Saddleworth, and was for many years with Mr Thos Stanley of Gawler” Bunyip, Friday 29 May 1942 p3 (6). According to the Town of Gawler website, Harry Hill Flamank aged 59 years from Gawler was buried on 23 May 1942 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 60 G 4, with Rev Dyson officiating (7). The Ann Flamank Death Index at GenealogySA records that she died in Adelaide in 1942, the daughter of Cecil Henry Flamank (3). Ann Flamank aged 15 days from Gawler was buried 27 Aug 1942 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 60 G 4 [same plot as grandfather Henry {Harry}, and just 3 months later], with Rev Father O'Sullivan officiating (8). “Births: Flamank (nee Molly Beckett).

The Edward Flavel Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Wellington District in 1920, Edward Frederick Charles Flavel was married to Patience Marjory Irene Bailey (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Patience Marjory Irene Bailey was born on 6 Dec 1898 in Snowtown SA to parents Henry James Bailey and Elizabeth Uelya Janett Commons (3). The ‘all Flavel’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Edward Frederick Charles Flavel and Patience Marjory Irene Bailey shows they had 3 children before the 1928 genealogy cut-off, all born in the Norwood District [1] Clarence Edward James Flavel b1922; [2] Jessie Irene Uelya Flavel b1924; [3] Sydney Charles Flavel b1927 (2), confirming the first three children’s names on her headstone. And just for completeness, “Births: Flavel: On the 19th September, at “Thelma Nursing Home," Loxton, to Mr and Mrs EFC Flavel, of Merlbah—a daughter (Doris Marjory)” The Advertiser, Thursday 10 October 1929 p14 (4), showing that their fourth child was [4] Doris Marjory Flavel b1929. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/flavel_marjorie.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I288624 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29627630?searchTerm=Flavel%20Doris&searchLimits= 340 This Folland family headstone says Harry Gilbert Folland died aged 69 years on 28 Sept 1948, husband of Mary Ann Frances Folland who died aged 81 years on __ Nov 1959; Ada Lilian Folland, daughter of Harry and Frances, died aged 2 years and 9 months on 29 Dec 1919 (1), unfortunately some flowers obscure the date in Nov 1959 Mary Ann Frances Folland died. According to information on the LDS website, Harry Gilbert Folland was born 9 Apr 1878 at Mudla Wirra SA to parents John George Folland (born May 1849 Enfield SA and died 19 Feb 1934] and Jane Rowse Wright (born 20 Oct 1847 Adelaide and died 15 Apr 1932), who had married on 10 Apr 1868 at Pine Forest SA. Harry Gilbert Folland was married on 19 Apr 1904 at Wards Belt SA to Mary Ann Frances Atyeo (born on 18 Sep 1878 at Wards Belt) (2). Mary Ann Frances Folland died in 1959, too recent to confirm using Trove, but Harry Gilbert Folland’s Death Notice shows that he died in 1947, not in 1948, as shown on the headstone: “Folland: On September 28 (suddenly) at his residence, Red Banks road, Willaston, Harry, the beloved husband of Frances Folland, aged 69 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 2 October 1947 p34 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ada Lilian Folland was born on 3 Apr 1917 in Willaston SA to parents Harry Gilbert Folland and Mary Ann Francis Atyeo (4). The ‘all Folland’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Harry Gilbert Folland and Mary Ann Francis Atyeo reveals they had 7 children [1] George Henry Clifton Folland b1904 in the Barossa District; [2] Charles French Folland b1906 in the Barossa District; [3] Lorna Frances Folland b1907 in the Barossa District; [4] Phyllis May Folland b1909 in the Daly District; [5] Gwenda Evelyn Folland b1913 in the Daly District; [6] Ada Lilian Folland b1917 in the Barossa District; [7] Hazel Jane Folland b1919 in the Barossa District (5). Iris Adelaide Folland died aged 74 yrs on 15
May 1982; her husband GH Clifton Folland died aged 89 yrs on 13 Sept 1993 (6). GH Clifton Folland is most likely George Henry Clifton Folland, son of Harry and Frances as discussed above. The George Henry Clifton Folland Marriage Index shows that in the Barossa District in 1933 he married Iris Adelaide Thompson (5). On their separate plaques, Dulcie P Folland died aged 73 yrs on 8 Sept 1981; Charles French Folland died aged 90 yrs on 27 July 1996 (7). The Charles French Folland Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows two marriages for Charles French Folland. The earlier marriage was in 1865 when Charles French Folland married Annie Maria Williams in Adelaide; but the one of interest is the later one, when in 1932 in the Port Adelaide District Charles French Folland married Dulcie Pearl Barker (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that George Henry Clifton Folland was born on 25 Aug 1904 in Gawler SA to parents Harry Gilbert Folland and Mary Ann Frances Atyeo (8), Charles French Folland was born on 23 Jan 1906 in Gawler to parents Harry Folland and Frances Atyeo (9), Iris Adelaide Thompson doesn’t appear at RootsWeb but Dulcie Pearl Barker was born on 5 Sep 1908 in Penfield SA to parents Frederick Barker and Alice Maud Menadue (10). “Marriages: Thompson—Folland: The marriage of Iris A, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs W Thompson, of Sydney, to Clifton, eldest son of Mr and Mrs H Folland, of Willaston will be solemnised at Congregational Church, Gawler, on Saturday.

The Jack Victor Foot Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in Adelaide in 1916 to parents John Renolder Foot and Florence Violet Phillips (2). The ‘all Foot’ Birth Index seeking offspring of John Renolder Foot and Florence Violet Phillips shows 4 children [1] George Ranolda Foot b1911 to parents John Ranolda Foot and Florence Violet Phillips in Adelaide; [2] Mabel Edna Foot b1913 to parents John Ranolder Foot and Florence Violet Phillips in Adelaide; [3] Jack Victor Foot b1916 to parents John Renolder Foot and Florence Violet Phillips in Adelaide; [4] Reginald Phillip Foot b1927 to parents John Renolder Foot and Florence Violet Phillips in the Willunga District (2).

Although separate memorials, I will combine these into a single entry for my purposes. There is no Edward James Forby Marriage Index at GenealogySA, and his calculated year of birth of c1914 precludes finding any offspring with his wife Evelyn Edith __ (born c1915). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there were 53 births in SA up to 1928 of girls with the Christian names “Evelyn Edith”, with 7 born between 1913 and 1916. Of these, the most likely was Evelyn Edith Hall who was born on 6 Nov 1914 in East Gawler to parents Percival Edwin Hall and Martha Julia Richards (3). Now using Trove to search old newspaper announcements reveals: “Engagements: Hall — Forby. The engagement is announced of Evelyn E, only daughter of Mr and Mrs PE Hall, Buckland Park, to Edward J (Jim), eldest son of Mr and Mrs WH Forby, Virginia” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 28 December 1939 p21 (4). Back on RootsWeb, Edward James Forby was born on 13 Apr 1914 in Mallala SA to parents William Henry Forby and Alice Jubilet Rundle Frost (5). To confirm his date of birth, a search of the World War Two Nominal Roll shows that Edward James Forby was born on 13 Apr 1914 at Mallala SA and was living at Virginia SA when he enlisted at Two Wells SA in the Australian Army on 11 Mar 1941, citing as Next of Kin his wife Evelyn Forby. Private Forby was discharged on 11 Jan 1946 from 16 Australian Works Company (6). The ‘all Forby’ Birth Index on GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Henry Forby and Alice Jubilet Rundle Frost reveals 7 births (up to 1928), the first 4 in the Gilbert District, and the latter 3 in the Port Gawler District [1] Edward James Forby b1914; [2] Ronald Joseph Forby b1915; [3] Douglas Joseph Forby b1918; [4] Valmai Grace Forby b1921; [5] Elva Alice Forby b1923; [6] Hazel Jean Forby b1927; [7] William Henry Forby b1928 (7), but of these, only Edward James Forby is noted on headstones at Willaston Cemetery (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/forby_edward_j.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/forby_evelyn_edith_&_edward_james.jpg 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I523663 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92453364?searchTerm=Forby%20Hall&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I504937 6 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=710378 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 343 This hard to read Forby headstone concerns Alice Matilda Forby died aged __ on __ May 1969; Albert Frederick died aged 68 yrs on __ Dec 1969, parents of .... (1). The Albert Frederick Forby Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1919, Albert Frederick Forby married Alice Matilda Mullen (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Albert Frederick Forby was born as Albert Fredrich[sic] Forby in 1900 at Gawler Plains SA (now Smithfield) to parents George Britton Forby and Elizabeth Ann Jarmiga (3), and Alice Matilda Mullen was born on 20 Oct 1893 at Wasleys SA to parents Charles Mullen and Margret Pratt (4). Interestingly, this makes Alice Matilda Forby nee Mullen a sister of Mary Ann Fischer nee TM Mullen [see Note 329] and Florence Edith Fischer nee Mullen [see Note 328]. On the MyTrees.com, part of Ancestry Archive we find the following Forby family Albert Fredrich Forby (1900-1969) was married in 1919 to Alice Matilda Mullen (1893-1969), at least confirming their years of birth and death (5). On the LDS site, Albert Friedrich Forby was born 11 Dec 1900 Gawler Plains SA to parents George Britan[sic] Forby and Emily Jarmyn[sic] (6). The ‘all Forby’ Birth Index back at GenealogySA, seeking offspring of Albert Friedrich
Forby and Alice Matilda Mullen shows 8 births (up to 1928) all in the Barossa District [1] Albert Laurence Forby b1920; [2] Morris Maxwell Forby b1921; [3] Keith Forby b1922; [4] Erica Margaret Forby b1923; [5] Ronald Dean Forby b1924; [6] Jean Margorie Forby b1926; [7] Marjorie Jean Forby b1926; [8] Norma Joan Forby 1928 (2). On their hard to read headstone, Emily Forby died aged 81 yrs on 14 Sept 1936; her son George Forby died aged 79 yrs on 10 Sept 1957 (7). Back on the LDS website, George Britan Forby was married before 1877 to Emily Jarmyn. Their children were [1] George Forby born 24 Aug 1877 Dublin SA; [2] Emily Jane Forby born 11 Jul 1879 Mallala SA; [3] Edwin James Forby born 21 Jul 1881 Dublin; [4] Elizabeth Ann Forby born 25 Jun 1883 Grace Plains SA; [5] Edward Forby born 23 Dec 1886 Port Gawler SA; [6] Eliza Forby born 9 Aug 1888 Lewiston SA; [7] Lucy Sophia May Forby born 8 Aug 1891 Willaston SA; [8] William John Forby born 28 Aug 1893 Gawler Plains; [9] Henry Peter Forby born 29 Jul 1895 Gawler; [10] Albert Friedrich Forby born 11 Dec 1900 Gawler Plains (8). “Deaths: Forby: On the I4th September, at the residence of her daughter (Mrs F Rusby) Angle Vale road, Gawler railway, Emily, widow of George B Forby, of Gawier Blocks, aged 81 years” The Advertiser, Tuesday 15 September 1936 p14 (9). Maurice Maxwell Forby died aged 54 yrs on 19 May 1975 (10). GenealogySA has [2] Morris Maxwell Forby b1921, but the headstone definitely spells his first name as Maurice. Back on RootsWeb, Morris Maxwell Forby was born on 4 May 1921 in Gawler to parents Albert Frederick Forby and Alice Matilda Mullen (11). The family seem to call him Morris, as shown in the Death Notice of his older brother: “Deaths: Forby: On December 4, at Wasleys, Albert Lawrence, dearly beloved son of Mr and Mrs A Forby, and loving brother of Morris, Keith, Ron, Erica, Norma, Jean and Florrie” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 8 December 1949 p70 (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/forby_alice_matilda_&_albert_frederick.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I272986 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I139190 5 http://www.mytrees.com/ancestry/Australia/Married-1919/Mu/Mullen-family/Alice-Mullen-ha006050-365.html 6 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I152170&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/forby_emily_&_george.jpg 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I152160&tree=SouthAustralia 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48178681?searchTerm=forby%20emily&searchLimits= 10 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/forby_maurice_maxwell.jpg 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I504949 12 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93751930?searchTerm=Morris%20Maxwell%20Forby&searchLimits= 344 Peter Forby died aged 70 yrs on 8 July 1964, late 10 Battalion AIF; his wife Alice Maud Forby died aged 73 yrs on 1 October 1971; parents of Beryl and Shirley; their daughter Beryl Iris Forby died aged 52 yrs on __ Nov 1973; the actual date obscured by a floral arrangement (1). The Peter Forby Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Port Gawler District in 1920, Peter Forby was married to Alice Maud Rowse (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Peter Forby was born on 1 Oct 1893 in Mallala SA to parents James Forby and Catherine Rowett (3), Beryl Iris Forby was born on 19 Mar 1921 in Adelaide to parents Peter Forby and Alice Maud Rowse (4), and Alice Maud Rowse was born as Alice Maud Rouse[sic] on 15 Feb 1897 in Ramco SA to parents William Rouse and Sarah Jones (5). The Savill Index that records the Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper shows that the Funeral Notice for Beryl Iris Forby appeared on 10 Nov 1973 (6), so she died early in November 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/forby_peter,_alice_maud_&_beryl_iris.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I710397 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I504947 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I215277 6 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-F.html 345 This simple plaque tells us Frank Forgie died on 31 July 1989, husband of Ruth (1). The Frank Forgie Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in 1919 in the Barossa District to parents Frank Gordon Forgie and Amy Edith Schollar (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Frank Forgie was born on 31 Aug 1919 in Gawler SA to parents Frank Gordon Forgie and Amy Edith Schollar (3), making his age at death 69 yrs. On their headstone, Frank Gordon Forgie died aged 80 yrs on the 9 July 1970; his wife Amy Edith Forgie died aged 84 yrs on the 10 March 1977 (4). The Frank Gordon Forgie Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in 1917 in the Barossa District to Amy Edith Schollar (2). Back on RootsWeb, Frank Gordon Forgie was born on 4 Jun 1890 in Gawler SA to parents James Forgie and Francis Nina Crump (5), and Amy Edith Schollar was born as Edith Amy Schollar on 17 Apr 1892 in Waukaringa SA to parents Richard Schollar and Mary Ann Tucker (6). On this headstone, Frances Nina Forgie died aged 68 yrs on 17 Dec 1936; her husband James Forgie died aged 80 yrs on 2 June 1944; their son James Graham Forgie died aged 26 yrs on 26 April 1918, killed in action WWI in France (7). According to information found on the Gawler World War One Honour Roll, James Graham Forgie was born 11 Dec 1891 and was a draper before enlisting in Sept 1916. Embarked 23rd Dec 1916 and rests in the Adelaide Cemetery, Villers Bretonneux, France- Plot 3, Row P, Grave 5 (8). The James Forgie Marriage Index shows that James Forgie was married in the Norwood District in 1890 to Frances Nina Crump, and their son James Graham Forgie was married in the Norwood District in 1916 to Mary Wilson (2). The ‘all Forgie’ Birth Index seeking offspring of James Forgie and Francis Nina Crump shows 3 children all born in the Barossa District [1] Frank Gordon Forgie b1890; [2] James Graham Forgie b1891; [3] George Clarence Forgie 1898 (2). On their headstone, Phyllis Forgie died on 31 March 1968; her husband G Clarence Forgie died on 15 Sept 1984 (9). The G Forgie Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that George Clarence Forgie was born in the Barossa District in 1898 to parents James Forgie and Frances Nina Crump (2). According to the LDS website, George Clarence Forgie was born on 12 Sep 1898 in Gawler to parents James Forgie (born 29 Mar 1864 Gawler) and Frances Nina Crump (born 5 Jun 1868 Gawler), who had married on 22 Mar 1890 in Payneham (10). I cannot find any references to the marriage of George Clarence Forgie to Phyllis anywhere at Genealogy sites or via Trove, so her maiden name and hence her details are a mystery 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/forgie_frank.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I505307 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/forgie_frank_gordon_&_amy_edith.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I708834 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I369749 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/forgie_frances_nina,_james_&_james.jpg 8 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/f.html

The Graham James Forgie Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in the Barossa District in 1921 to parents Frank Gordon Forgie and Amy Edith Schollar (2), who were discussed in Note 345, making him a brother of Frank Forgie. There is no Graham James Forgie Marriage Index at GenealogySA. “Marriage: Richter— Forgie: The marriage of Aisler[sic] J, only daughter of Mr and Mrs RL Richter, of Reeves Plains, to Graham J (RAAF), second son of Mr and Mrs FG Forgie, will be solemnised at Tod St Methodist church Saturday, 24th, at 6.30 pm. Rev Milton Tresise officiating” Bunyip, Friday 23 June 1944 p3 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Graham James Forgie was born on 22 Jul 1921 in Gawler to parents Frank Gordon Forgie and Amy Edith Schollar (4), and Aisla Joan Richter was born on 17 Oct 1923 in Willaston SA to parents Rupert Leopold Richter and Eleanor Rose Day (5). Angus Philip Forgie was born 17 Nov 1980, and died aged 24 yrs {in his 25th year} on 7 Oct 2005; grandson of Aisla Joan and Graham James Forgie, son of Louise, brother of Emma and Mostyn and father of Kialah Fay (6). But was his surname Forgie? It certainly implies it, but if mother was Louise nee Forgie, was her married name different? Or was she a single mother? It would be handy to see the Willaston Cemetery Burial Register to see under what surname he was buried, but until then, it will remain as Forgie. The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery spells Angus Philip’s middle name with 2 ‘l’s (7), which may be correct but not how it’s spelt on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/forgie_aisla_joan_&_graham_james.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96866102?searchTerm=Graham%20Forgie&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I505308 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I635997 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/forgie_angus_philip.jpg 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm The headstone says that Thomas William Forrest died aged 8_ (?82 or ?87) on 3 June 1973, ex 9th Light Horse AIF; husband of Ida GL Forrest who died aged 96 yrs on 2 March 1985 (1). The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has him dying aged 67 years but it looks more like 82 or 87 to me (2). The Thomas William Forrest Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Flinders District in 1922 to Ida Gertrude Louisa Roberts (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Thomas William Forrest was born on 20 Feb 1891 in South Hummocks SA to parents Thomas Forrest and Margaret Patterson (4), and Ida Gertrude Louisa Roberts was born on 12 Sep 1888 in Narridy SA to parents William Thomas Roberts and Mary Ann Louisa Emily Morgan (5). Thomas William Forrest was therefore 82 yrs old when he died. As a cross-check, the LDS site has some information on Thomas William Forrest who was born 20 Feb 1891 South Hummocks SA to parents Thomas Forrest (born 4 Aug 1854 at South Rhine SA and died 2 Oct 1940 SA) and Margaret Patterson (born 16 Sep 1857 Whitelaw Gully SA and died 20 Dec 1919 SA), who had married on 31 Mar 1881 at Pinkerton Plains SA (6). Also on the LDS website, William Thomas Roberts was born in 1863 to father Thomas Roberts. William Thomas Roberts was married aged 23 yrs on 9 Jul 1886 at Yongala SA to Mary Ann Louisa Emily Morgan aged 20 yrs (born 10 Jul 1866 at Mintaro SA) (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/forrest_thomas_william_&_ida_g.l..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I709158 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I208130 6 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I24039&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I104034&tree=SouthAustralia Phyllis Doreen Forward died aged 73 yrs on 8 March 1991; her husband Cecil George Forward died aged 80 yrs on 2 Nov 2001 (1), making their years of birth c1918 and c1921 respectively. The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Phyllis Doreen Forward died in 1981 (2), but it seems more likely 1991 to me. I cannot however cooroborate this fact, as it is too recent for genealogy sites, and Trove searches currently only show newspapers up to the mid 1950s. There is no Cecil George Forward Marriage Index at Genealogy SA, but the Birth Index shows that Cecil George Forward was born in the Norwood District in 1920 to parents John Vernon Forward and Annie Mary Goldney (2). “Births: Forward: On the 7th November, at Nurse Goldney's, Kensington Park to Mr and Mrs JV Forward, 42 Verdun-street— a son (Cecil George)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 13 November 1920 p29 (3). But here, the trail gets cold. Trove searches have not shown Phyllis Doreen’s maiden name. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/forward_phyllis_doreen_&_cecil_george.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/89196106?searchTerm=Forward%20%22Cecil%20George%22&searchLimits= Dorothy (Dot) Foster died aged 36 yrs on 17 March 1962; wife of Allan Foster, mother of Lynette, Danae?, John and Margaret (1), making her year of birth c1926. The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says she died aged 86 yrs in 1962 (2), but to me it looks like she was aged 36 yrs old. This idea was formed after finding on Trove this Birth Notice: “Births: Foster: On November 10, at Glenelg Community Hospital, to Dot and Allan — a daughter” The Advertiser, Wednesday 12 November 1952 p18 (3). What follows is all circumstantial. This Death Notice mentions Allan Foster: “Deaths: Foster: On June 7, at his residence, 64 Princes road, Mitcham (suddenly), Percival Richmond, the beloved husband of Dora May Foster, and loving father of Winnie, Allan, Clem and Doris, aged 68 years” The Advertiser, Tuesday 8 June 1954 p20 (4). The Percival Richmond Foster Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1908 in Adelaide, that he was married to Dora May Simmons (5). A general Google of Percival Richmond Foster and Dora May Simmons showed a website called “MyTrees.com” in their Ancestry Archive™ where they say that Percival Richmond Foster b1885 was married in 1908 to Dora May Simmons b1888. They had 4 children [1] Winifred May Foster b1909; [2] Allan Percival Foster b1911; [3] Clement Richmond Foster b1912; [4] Doris Merle Foster b1919 (6), matching the names on the Death Notice above. Also, on a website called “Nicko Family Tree”, Allan Percival Foster was born on 14 Apr 1911 in Mitcham SA to parents Percival Richmond Foster (born 10 Jul 1885 Brownhill Creek SA) and Dora May Simmons (born 6 May 1888 Magill SA). Allan Percival Foster was married on 5 Mar 1933 at Goodwood to Vera Constance Harvey (born Abt 1913) (7). My surmise That Vera Constance Foster died early or was otherwise separated from Allan Foster, who then remarried, this time to Dot Foster, explaining why he was 15 yrs older than she was. But the “Newspaper Death Notices” Section at GenealogySA shows that the Advertiserhad a Death Notice for Vera Constance Foster in 2007 (5). Trove did not reveal a divorce notice, so my story is a little stuck. Overall, it hasn’t changed the fact that without Dot Foster’s maiden name, I cannot prove her
birth c1926 (or c1876 if I am wrong). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/foster_dorothy.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47514477?searchTerm=Allan%20Foster&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48108208?searchTerm=Allan%20Foster%20Dot&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 6 http://www.mytrees.com/newanc/Australia/Married-1908/Si/Simmons-family/Dora-Simmons-ni000431-1947.html 7 http://nicko.familytreeguide.com/getperson.php?personID=I05891&tree=T1&PHPSESSID=05548245c1fe35f791a582bc6bc41043 350 Sidney Foster was born 6 Dec 1900, died 1 Sept 1967; his wife Martha (Molly) Foster was born on 14 Aug 1898, and died 6 July 1984 (1). The Sidney Foster Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Sidney Henry Foster was born in the Gilbert District in 1900 to parents Alfred Ernest Albert Foster and Emma Jane Riches (2), and the Sidney Foster Marriage Index shows in the Kapunda District in 1928, Sidney Henry Foster married Martha Sophie Heinrich (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Sidney Henry Foster was born in 1900 in Hamley Bridge SA to parents Alfred Ernest Albert Foster and Emma Jane Riches (3), and Martha Sophie Heinrich was born Martha Sophie Henrich[sic] on 14 Aug 1897 in Sandy Creek SA to parents Frederick Gustave Henrich and Mary Brus (4). Molly is not usually the abbreviation of Martha, more commonly for Mary or even Margaret, but unless we’re postulating a second marriage, Molly must be short for Martha in this case. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/foster_sidney_&_martha.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I273121 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I20460 351 This old Fotheringham headstone commemorates 5 members of the family: Thomas Fotheringham died aged 66 yrs on 30 Jan 1894, husband of Emily Fotheringham; Alexander Morgan Fotheringham died aged 11 years on 22 March 1872; Guy Fotheringham died aged 1 yr on 22 Oct 1873; Leslie Fotheringham died aged 1 yr and 8 months on 28 March 1878; Tom Kenneth Fotheringham died aged __ yrs on 2 March 1909 (1). At this stage, I’ll leave the entries as they stand on the “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2) as the scribe may have had a better view than the one that appears in the photo of the headstone. According to information on the LDS website, Thomas Fotheringham was born 15 Nov 1828 at Cambus, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, died 30 Jan 1894 in Gawler SA and is buried in Willaston Cemetery. His parents were David Fotheringham [born c1795] and Agnes Beveridge [born c1795], who had married c1815. Thomas Fotheringham arrived in Australia on the White Swan in 1856. His occupation was a brewery proprietor, and he had resided in Kapunda, then in Gawler. He was married aged 29 yrs on 27 Nov 1858 Mitcham SA to Emily Morgan aged 20 yrs (Emily Morgan was born on 10 Nov 1839 at Willshamstead Bedfordshire, England to parents were George Morgan and Sarah Horne, and she died 6 Nov 1897 SA). The children of Thomas Fotheringham and Emily Morgan were: [1] Sydney Frederick Fotheringham born 25 Oct 1859 Kapunda and died 1934; [2] Alexander Morgan Fotheringham born 23 Aug 1861 Kapunda and died 21 Mar 1872 Gawler; [3] Emily Kate Fotheringham born 22 Jan 1863 Kapunda and died 18 Dec 1863 Kapunda; [4] Minnie Harrold Fotheringham b 18 Mar 1864 Kapunda and died 1926; [5] Agnes Beveridge Fotheringham b 13 May 1865 Kapunda; [6] May Fotheringham born 13 Jun 1866 Kapunda and died 21 Jun 1867 Gundrys Hill SA; [7] Adelaide May Fotheringham born 1 Nov 1867 Kapunda; [8] Douglas Fotheringham born 3 May 1871 Gawler, died 1897; [9] Guy Fotheringham born 24 Sep 1872 Gawler and died 13 Oct 1873 Gawler; [10] Clare Dorothea Fotheringham b1873; [11] Thomas Kenneth Fotheringham born 24 Jul 1874 Gawler and died 2 Mar 1909 Gawler; [12] Leslie Fotheringham born 31 Dec 1876 Gawler and died 28 Mar 1878 Gawler; [13] Clare Fotheringham born 4 Nov 1878 Gawler (3). Still on the LDS website, further information about the children of Thomas Fotheringham and Emily Morgan: [1] Sydney Frederick Fotheringham was married on 16 Dec 1897 at Bowden SA to Frederika Rosalie Altmann; [5] Agnes Beveridge Fotheringham was married on 2 Sep 1885 in Gawler to Walter Waterhouse (4). David Fotheringham, the father of Thomas Fotheringham, was born c1795, and was married c1815 to Agnes Beveridge (also born c1795). The children of David Fotheringham and Agnes Beveridge, all born in Cambus, Clackmannanshire, Scotland were [1] James Fotheringham born 17 Jun 1816, died 10 Oct 1866 Mitcham SA; [2] David Fotheringham born 12 May 1819, died 2 Aug 1857 SA; [3] Alexander Fotheringham born 5 Oct 1821, died 7 Jan 1860 SA; [4] George Fotheringham born __, died 10 Oct 1904 Mellor Park SA; [5] Thomas Fotheringham born 15 Nov 1828, died 30 Jan 1894 Gawler SA; [6] Robert Fotheringham born 1 Oct 1831, died 19 Sep 1885 Kapunda SA (5). Further information on the children of David Fotheringham and Agnes Beveridge can also be found at the LDS website: [1] James Fotheringham was married on 14 Mar 1856 in Adelaide to Margaret Barnett; [2] David Fotheringham was married in 1846 at Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland to Elizabeth Henderson; [3] Alexander Fotheringham was married on 12 Apr 1855 in Sturt SA to Caroline Eliza Sergeant; [4] George Fotheringham was married in 1849 in Stirling, Scotland to Betsey Thomson Grace Muir; [5] Thomas Fotheringham was married on 27 Nov 1858 in Mitcham SA to Emily Morgan; [6] Robert Fotheringham was married on 31 Mar 1858 in Adelaide to Helen Garie (6). Still using LDS data, Margaret Barnett was born in 1832 in Kinross, Kinross-shire, Scotland and died 25 Dec 1904 at Semaphore SA. Her parents were William Barnett and Margaret Matthew (7). The LDS data also tells us that Elizabeth Henderson was born in Scotland in 1819, and died 17 Dec 1884 in Gawler SA. Elizabeth Henderson and David Fotheringham had 3 children [1] David Fotheringham born 31 Aug 1847 New Mills, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, died on 9 Jul 1921 East Adelaide SA; [2] William Fotheringham born 1849 Alloa, Clackmannanshire, died 12 Aug 1896 River Diamantina Qld; [3] John Moir Fotheringham born 11 Jun 1856 Gawler, died in 1857 (8). It is noted above that Margaret Fotheringham nee Barnett died 25 Dec 1904, whilst the headstone records her death in 1903: Margaret Fotheringham died at Semaphore aged 72 yrs on 25 Dec 1903; her brother Ebenezer Annan Barnet died aged 65 yrs on 4 Feb 1905 (9). She definitely died in 1903: “Deaths: Fotheringham: On 25th December, at the Semaphore, Margaret, relict of the late Mr James Fotheringham, aged 72 years” Bunyip, Friday 1 January 1904 p2 (10), although the Death Notice was posted in 1904. Her obituary says “Mrs Margaret Fotheringham, who died at the Semaphore on Christmas morning, was the widow of Mr James Fotheringham, of Gawler. The deceased lady was born in Scotland 72 years ago, and came to this State with her parents, Mr and Mrs W Barnet sen, in 1852. Not long after her arrival she became the wife of Mr Robert Walsh. The union, however, was of short duration owing to the death of Mr Walsh. Subsequently she was married to Mr James Fotheringham, a well known resident of Gawler. In 1866 she was again widowed. Mrs Fotheringham continued to live at Gawler until about three years ago, when she removed to the Semaphore. On two occasions she returned to her native land, but her attachment to her adopted country was so great that she could not remain at home” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 2 January 1904 p2 (11). James was the eldest of six brothers who emigrated individually to South Australia in the early years of the colony, and the first of them to arrive. He was followed by Alexander who became a pastoralist at Mount Brown, then David, an engineer who also lived in Gawler. George much later in 1867 and was a clerk living in Semaphore. When Robert and Thomas arrived in 1855 and 1856, they joined James in the family brewing business. Fotheringham Brothers expanded the Gawler Brewery on Julian Terrace and established another at Kapunda. Each brother became a prominent and respected citizen in the business
and social life of their community .... James’ health had been declining, and in October 1866, almost exactly one year after their return on the City of Adelaide [he and his wife Margaret after a visit to Scotland], he died in the Mitcham home to which he had moved only recently (12). James Fotheringham arrived in SA 1839-01-16 aboard the Indus from Dundee 1838-09-13 (13). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/eg/fotheringham_thomas,_alexander_morgan,_guy,_leslie_&_tom_kenneth.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 3 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I151386&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F45495&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I151380&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F45489&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I151387&tree=SouthAustralia 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I151434&tree=SouthAustralia 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fotheringham_margaret.jpg 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97589034?searchTerm=margaret%20fotheringham&searchLimits= 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87881082?searchTerm=margaret%20fotheringham&searchLimits= 12 http://cityofadelaide.org.au/history/genealogy/rich-and-famous/49-fotheringham.html 13 http://www.familyhistorysa.info/shipping/passengerlists.html 352 This simple headstone in memory of Alexander Fotheringham died aged 32 years on 7 Jan 1860 was originally in Pioneer Park, Gawler’s first cemetery, but has since been translocated to Willaston Cemetery (1). A review of the Gawler Old Pioneer Cemetery name index tells us that David Fotheringham died aged 38 yrs in 1857; John (son of David) Fotheringham died aged 9 months in 1857 as well; Alexander Fotheringham died aged 59[sic] yrs in 1860; and James Fotheringham died aged 49 yrs in 1866 (2). The surprise in this straightforward story of Alexander Fotheringham is that, according to the FamilySearch Community Trees website of the Latter Day Saints [commonly abbreviated to LDS], Alexander Fotheringham, brother of Thomas Fotheringham, was born in 1821 [see Note 351], and so was 38, not 32, when he died in 1860, not 32 yrs as the“F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says (3. I cannot fault the reading of the headstone, it definitely says 32 years old. The LDS data tells us that Alexander Fotheringham was born on 5 Oct 1821 in Cambus, Clackmannanshire, Scotland and he died 7 Jan 1860 in South Australia. Alexander arrived 1840 on the William Mitchell, his occupation was a pastoralist, residing at Mt Brown then Gawler. Alexander was married on 12 April 1855 at St Marys, Sturt SA to Caroline Eliza nee Serjeant[sic] [her father being Phillip born c1832 Callington Cornwall Eng]. Caroline Eliza Sergeant was born in 1832 at Callington, Cornwall, England. She died 28 Aug 1900 Gawler. Their children were [1] James Robert Fotheringham born [twin] 12 Feb 1856 Gawler [2] Robert John Moir Fotheringham born [twin] 12 Feb 1856 Gawler and died 21 May 1895 Gawler; [3] David Fotheringham born 17 Feb 1858 and died 1898 Gawler] (4). Independent corroboration of Alexander’s arrival in SA can be found on the passenger list of the William Mitchell: Alexander Fotheringham arrived in SA 27 Aug 1840 aboard the William Mitchell that had left London on 4 May 1840 (5). Back to the Pioneer Park index, Alexander Fotheringham’s death aged “59 yrs” in 1860 can be explained by a misreading of ‘in his 39th year”, ie aged 38 years. James Fotheringham died aged 49 yrs in 1866, not in 1860 as appears on the“F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (3). His headstone clearly says James Fotheringham died aged 49 yrs on 10 Oct 1866 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fotheringham_alexander.jpg 2 http://headstones.weebly.com/gawler-old-pioneer-park.html 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 4 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I49205&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.familyhistorysa.info/shipping/passengerlists.html 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fotheringham_james.jpg 353 Anthony Stirling Fotheringham was born on 25 Jan 1908 and died on 24 Aug 1990, husband of Louise, father of Tony and Ann (1). Louise Livingston Fotheringham was born 17 June 1906 and died on 6 April 1991, wife of Anthony (Tom), mother of Tony and Ann (2). The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he was born on 25 Nov 1906, but it looks more like 25 Jan 1908 to me. The Anthony Stirling Fotheringham Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows he was married in Adelaide in 1936 to Louise Livingstone Ladbury (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Anthony Stirling Fotheringham was born on 25 Jan 1908 in Dashwood Gully SA to parents Roy Stirling Fotheringham and Alison Hope Murray (5), {confirming the misreading of both month and year on his headstone}, but the birth detail of Louise Livingstone Ladbury does not exist on RootsWeb, in fact there is no Ladbury birth in SA up to 1928. This is not surprising as Louise Ladbury was born in Victoria: “A Trip Abroad: Planning a trip abroad soon is Mrs Anthony Fotheringham, who, accompanied by her uncle and aunt, Mr and Mrs Laith Ladbury, of Kooyong road, Armadale, Victoria will sail in the Dutch ship Meliskerk for England on March 2 to see the Coronation. Mrs Fotheringham, who was formerly Miss Loris[sic] Ladbury, only daughter of Mr and Mrs AL Ladbury, of East St Kilda was quietly married to Mr Anthony Fotheringham recently in Adelaide. He is the eldest son of the late Mr RS Fotheringham and Mrs Fotheringham, of St Peters” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 4 February 1937 p58 (6). “Births: Ladbury. On the 17th June, at Booth, the wife of Algar L Ladbury, a daughter” The Australasian (Melbourne), Saturday 30 June 1906 p60 (7), proving her date of birth is correctly given on the headstone. Anthony Stirling Fotheringham’s father was Roy Stirling Fotheringham (born 30 Oct 1881 in North Adelaide) to parents were Anthony Skeock Fotheringham (born on 16 Mar 1853 Stirling, Scotland, died 2 Jul 1910 Medingie SA) and Margaret Graham Inglis (born on 14 Apr 1858 Woodside SA, died 18 Nov 1938 Toorak SA), who had married on 16 Apr 1879 at Woodside (8). Anthony Skeock Fotheringham (Anthony Stirling Fotheringham’s grandfather) was born to parents George Fotheringham (born in Cambus, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, died 10 Oct 1904 Mellor Park SA) and Betsey Thomson Grace Muir (born 1822, Scotland, died 21 Dec 1894 Mellor Park), who had married in 1849 at Stirling, Scotland – see Note 351 (9). This means that Anthony Stirling Fotheringham was the great-grand-son of George Fotheringham, one of the 6 original brothers who separately all came to SA. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fotheringham_anthony_stirling.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fotheringham_louise_livingston.jpg 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I505971 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92465762?searchTerm=Ladbury%20fotheringham&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/139185933?searchTerm=al%20ladbury&searchLimits= 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I151425&tree=SouthAustralia

The ‘all Frahm’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of parents Charles and Lesette Frahm shows that 8 children were born in the Kapunda District to parents I’ll spell out each time to show the variations and attempts and anglification [1] Selina Olga Frahm b1901 to parents Carl Friedrich Frahm and Henriette Lisette Thiele; [2] Serlina Olga Frahm b1903 to parents Carl Heinrich Ernst Frahm and Henrietta Lisette Thiele; [3] Selma Selphia Frahm b1904 to parents Carl Heinrich Ernst Frahm and Henrietta Lisetta Thiel; [4] Carl Gustav Frahm b1906 to parents Carl Heinrich Ernst Frahm and Henriette Lisette Thiele; [5] Linda Elsie Frahm b1907 to parents Carl Heinrich Ernst Frahm and Henriette Lisette Thiele; [6] Lizetta Alma Frahm b1912 to parents Carl Heinrich Ernest Frahm and Henrietta Lizetta Thiele; [7] Ada Lena Frahm b1915 to parents Charles Friederich Frahm and Henrietta Lizetta Thiele; [8] Alec Harold Frahm b1919 to parents Charles Frederick Frahm and Henrietta Lizetta Thiele (2). May Johanna Frahm was born on 30 May 1919 and died aged 83 yrs on 6 Aug 2002; her husband Alec Harold Frahm was born on 17 June 1919, and died aged 83 yrs on 25 Feb 2003; parents of Neville and Peter (3). There is no Alec Harold Frahm Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so a search on Trove is needed to find her maiden name: “Engagements: Davy—Frahm: The engagement is announced of May J, youngest daughter of Mrs and the late Mr William Davy, Gawler South, to Alec Harold (RAAF Reserve), only son of Mr and Mrs CF Frahm, of Bower” The Advertiser, Saturday 26 September 1942 p10 (4). Carl Heinrich Ernst Frahm or Charles Frederick Frahm was born Heinrich Ernst Carl Frahm on 11 Jun 1871 at Siegersdorf SA (now Bultawilta) to parents Heinrich Ernst Frahm and Marie Magdalene Modista (5), and Henriette Lisette Thiele was born on 15 Mar 1875 in Daveyston SA to parents Johann Carl Thiele and Catharina Lisette Osterburg (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/frahm_charles_&_lesette.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/frahm_may_johanna_&_alec_harold.jpg 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48884624?searchTerm=Alec%20Harold%20Frahm&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I718114 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I151635 355 Audrey Nance Franklin was born 12 Dec 1941, died aged 88 yrs on 23 Oct 2003, daughter of Herman and Florence (?Franklin), sister of Harold, Hylda, Phil and Jeff (1). But this doesn’t make sense. If she was born in Dec 1941 and she died in Oct 2003, she would be 61 yrs old when she died, not 88 yrs. But this is what her headstone definitely says, and there doesn’t seem to be any interference to the lettering. Was Franklin her married or maiden name, or an anglicised version of a more Germanic name? Is Nance short for Nancy or something more obscure? A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there is no Franklin birth in SA up to 1928, with the first names incuding Audrey, Nance or Herman. What if she was born in Dec 1914, not in Dec 1941. Then her age at death in Oct 2003 would be 88 years. A search of RootsWeb for children born in SA with the Christian names ‘Audrey Nance’, then there is only one: Audrey Nance Schmelzkopf was born on 5 Dec 1914 in Gawler SA to parents Carl Hugo Herman Schmelzkopf and Florence Annie Evelyn Davies (2), and this confirms the names of Herman and Florence as written on Audrey Nance Franklin’s headstone. The ‘all Schmelzkopf’ Birth Index at GenealogySA revealst that Carl Hugo Hermann Schmelzkopf was born in the Burra District in 1880 to parents Frederick William Ferdinand Schmelzkopf and Isabella Jane Mayo, and there were 5 children born to Carl Hugo Herman Schmelzkopf and Florence Annie Evelyn Davies [1] Harold Mayo Schmelzkopf b1912 in the Barossa District; [2] Hylda Marjorie Schmelzkopf 1913 in the Barossa District; [3] Audrey Nance Schmelzkopf b1914 in the Port Gawler District; [4] Phillip Verdun Schmelzkopf b1916 in the Port Gawler District; [5] Jeffrey Mervyn Schmelzkopf b1917 in Adelaide (3). If any other proof was needed that the Audrey Nance Franklin, with the exact first names, born in Dec 1914 in SA, had parents named Herman and Florence, but also had 4 siblings all who had the same names as those 4 siblings on the headstone, it seems fairly clear that Audrey Nance Franklin was born as Audrey Nance Schmelzkopf. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser shows that Audrey Florence (not Nance) Franklin had hers on 23 Sept 2002 (4) so it is possible that this is a different person. But one suspects that the headstone details are just a little inaccurate. She was born on 7 Dec 1914, not on the 12 Dec 1941, and if it is her that died in Sept 2002, not Oct 2003, that will be wrong also. Unfortunately the Savill Index does not tell us her maiden name, just for completeness. “Died On Active Service: Olds: A tribute of love to the memory of my fiancé, Vic, 2/3rd MG, died of illness, POW camp, Thailand, July 23 1943. Ever remembered by Nancy Schmelzkopf “The Advertiser, Wednesday 25 July 1945 p12 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/franklin_audrey_nance.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I647690 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-F.html 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43503500?searchTerm=Schmelzkopf&searchLimits= 356 Howard and Laura T Freak’s memorial is hardly readable, and I can just make out what I presume are their names, and this only after knowing to look for from the name of the photo (1). The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery tells us that Howard Freak died in 1967 and there is no information about Laura T Freak (2). The Howard Freak Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in Adelaide in 1897 to Laura Thersa Robinson (3), and his Death Index shows that he died in Gawler in 1937 (3), not in 1967 as the “F” data page (2) says. This is confirmed by his death notice: “Deaths: Freak: On the 19th July, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Howard Freak, dearly beloved husband of Laura (Tot) Freak, aged 65 years” The Advertiser, Tuesday 20 July 1937 p12 (4). As Howard Freak was 65 yrs old when he died, his year of birth would be c1872, and the Howard Freak Birth Index shows his birth in the Port Gawler District in 1871 to parents Stephen Freak and Mary-Jane Graves (3). On the LDS website, Stephen Freak was born c1832 {father was Thomas Freak} and died 20 Jul 1911 Gawler West. Stephen Freak was married before 1861 to Elizabeth Freak (nee __, b1830, died 4 Dec 1870 Gawler West) and they had 2 children [1] Thomas William Freak born c1861; [2] Fred Freak b1866, died 8 Jun 1868 Gawler West. Stephen Freak was then married on 15 Apr 1871 at Salisbury SA to Mary Jane Greaves (born c1847). The children of Stephen Freak and Mary Jane Greaves were [3] Howard Freak born 13 Nov 1871 Gawler West; [4] Stephen Freak born 1 Sep 1873 Gawler West, died 8 Aug 1874 Gawler West; [5] James Wilfred Freak b 1 Nov 1875 Gawler West; [6] Harriett Alice Freak born 20 Jan 1878 Gawler West; [7] Ina Jane Freak born 15 Nov 1880 Wallaroo SA; [8] Walter Freak born 22 Jun 1882 Wallaroo; [9] Harrold Oliver Freak born 3 Jul 1885 Gawler West; [10] Evelina Freak born 31 Mar 1890 Gawler South (5). There is also further information on the family of Stephen Freak and Mrs Elizabeth Freak on the LDS website: [1] Thomas William Freak was married on 24 May 1883 in Port Adelaide to Annie Maria Warren (6), and also about the family of Stephen Freak and Mary Jane Greaves: [3] Howard Freak was married on 9 Oct 1897 in Adelaide to Laura Theresa Robinson; [5] James Wilfred Freak was married on 26 Feb 1901 in Adelaide to Louisa Jane Dew; [8] Walter Freak was married on 2 Oct 1913 at Gawler South to Elizabeth May Everett; [9] Harrold Oliver Freak was married on 14 Jan 1907 in Gawler to Violet Perry; [10] Evelina Freak was married on 11 Apr 1914 in Gawler to Roy Bradbrook (7). A search of the SA Births data on
the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Laura Thersa[sic] Robinson was born as Laura Teresa Robinson on 11 Apr 1879 in Georgetown SA to parents William Henry Robinson and Maria Greaves (8). A search of Laura Teresa Freak on Trove for old newspaper entries shows “Deaths: Freak: On July 31, at her residence, Gawler West, Laura Theresa, relict of Howard Freak, and loved mother of Clem (deceased), Dorothy (Mrs Walton), Percy, Claude, Jean (Mrs Johns), Ronald, Clarice (Mrs Fisk) and George, aged 72 years” The Advertiser, Wednesday 1 August 1951 p16 (9). The Stephen Freak family headstone has lost some of its blackened numbers and letters. Stephen Freak died aged _9 yrs on 10?20?30 July 19__; his wife Mary Freak wife of Stephen died aged 86 yrs on 2 July 1933 (10). Stephen Freak dies in 1911: “Deaths: Freak: On the 20th July, at his residence, Express-street, Gawler West, Stephen, the dearly beloved husband of Mary Jane Freak, in his 79th year, leaving wife and four daughters and five sons to mourn their sad loss. WA papers please copy” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 29 July 1911 p34 (11). The Claude Freak headstone tells us that he was born on 15 Jan 1905 and died 3 Nov 1980, husband of Ethel and father of 9 children (12). On her headstone, Ethel Winifred Freak was born on 15 June 1902 and died 26 Dec 1992, wife of Claude, mother of Muriel, Doreen, Brian, Douglas, Shirley, Claude, Margaret, Ronald and David (13). The Claude Freak Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Claude Freak was married in the Norwood District in 1927 to Ethel Winifred Truan (3). The George Freak headstone says that he was born in 1918 and died in 1958, husband of Lorna, father of Trevor and Yvonne (14). We have already learned that Howard and Laura T Freak had a son called George. “Engagements: Qualmann —Freak: The engagement is announced of Lorna B, youngest daughter of Mr and the late Mrs HJ Qualmann of Gawler Blocks, to George W, youngest son of Mrs and the late Mr H Freak, of Gawler” The Advertiser, Tuesday 31 March 1942 p8 (15).

(1). He clearly died in August, not in April, as it says on the “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The Job Freak Marriage Index shows 2 marriages for Job Freak, 30 years apart, which mar relate to one Job Freak or 2 separate ones. In the Barossa District in 1882, Job Freak was married to Sophia Weaver; then in 1912 in the Port Gawler District, Job Freak was married to Eliza Jane Panter (3). The Job Freak Death Index shows Job Freak died in Gawler in 1938 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Job Freak was born on 22 Apr 1858 in Gawler to parents Charles Freake[sic] and Ellenor Allen (4), and Sophia Weaver was born on 9 Aug 1861 in Norwood to parents Arthur Weaver and Sophia Shaw (5). Sophia dies 1911: “Freak: On 10th April, at her residence, near Willaston, Sophia Mary Ann, the beloved wife of Job Freak, aged 49 years” Bunyip, Friday 14 April 1911 p2 (6). Job dies 1938: “Freak: On the 3rd of August, at his residence, 1 Sixteenth street, Gawler West, Job, the beloved husband of Eliza Freak, aged 80 years” The Advertiser, Friday 5 August 1938 p16 (7). On the LDS website, Job Freak was born 22 Apr 1858 Gawler SA to parents Charles Freak [b1819 Dorset England and died 22 Sep 1899 Gawler] and Eleanor Allen [b1820, died 2 Jun 1890 Gawler]. Job Freak died 3 Aug 1937[sic] Gawler, and is buried at Willaston. He resided in Gawler, and was a blacksmith. He married twice. He first married 7 Aug 1882 Gawler SA to Sophia Mary Ann Weaver [her father was Arthur]. Sophia MA Weaver was born c1861 and died 10 April 1911 Gawler SA. The children of Job Freak and Sophia Weaver included [1] Eleanor Sophie Freak (born 20 May 1883); [2] Emma Louise Freak (born 7 Feb 1885 Gawler, died 4 June 1891 Gawler); [3] Allen Shaw Freak (born 6 Mar 1886 Gawler); [4] Sophie Leith Freak (born 26 Feb 1888 Gawler); [5] Jack Roach Freak (born 10 Dec 1893, died 1943). His second marriage was 7 Aug 1912 Gawler SA to Mrs Eliza Jane Panter nee Radcliffe [Her parents were William Radcliffe and Jane Donald. Eliza Jane Freak formerly Mrs Panter nee Radcliffe was born c1868 and died 27 June 1949. There was no issue from this second marriage (8). On the Geni website, Charles Freak was born c1819 and died 22 Sept 1899 in GawlerSA. His parents were Thomas and Caroline Freake [making Charles a brother of Stephen Freak – see Note 356]. Charles Freak was married twice, firstly to Rebecca Freak and then to Eleanor Freak. His siblings were James Freke; Peter Freke; George Freke; Joseph Freak and Stephen Freak, and his children were Martha Riggs; Arthur Freak; Jane Freak; Mark Freak; Eli Freak; Job Freak; Edward Freak and Kate Glen (9). On an another website called “Our South Australian Pioneer Families”, it says that Stephen Freak was a carpenter & labourer from Dorcester, England who arrived in SA on 20 Aug 1856 aboard the Eliza, with his two brothers Charles Freak {with wife Eleanor Allen & five children} and Joseph Freak {with wife Jane Whale & two children} (10). On their headstone, Eleanor Freak died aged 69 yrs on 2 June 1890, her husband Charles Freak died aged 80 yrs on 22 Sept 1899 (11). Jack Roach Freak died aged 49 years on 18 Feb 1943, husband of Violet Ruby (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/freak_sophia_m.a._&_job.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I711871 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I377351 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97567722?searchTerm=Job freak&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35603017?searchTerm=job freak&searchLimits= 8 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I150301&tree=SouthAustralia

The Mervin Freak Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Port Gawler District in 1921, Mervin Eric Freak was born to parents William Clem Freak and Olive Templer (2), and the William Clem Freak Birth Index shows that he was born in the Barossa District in 1898 to parents Howard Freak and Laura Teresa Robinson {see Note 356} (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Olive Templer was born on 21 Mar 1897 in Bowden, Adelaide to parents Albert Edgar Templer {born on 28 Dec 1869 in Adelaide} and Agatha Wastell {born on 10 Sep 1863 in Adelaide} (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/freak_olive.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I150800 Gwendoline E Frick died aged 61 yrs on 30 Aug 1953; her husband Harry E Frick died aged 79 yrs on 1 June 1964 (1), making their respective years of birth c1892 and c1885. The Harry E Frick Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Flinders District in 1915, Harry Edmund Frick was married to Gwendoline Erskine Charlesworth (2). The ‘all Frick’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Harry Edmund Frick and Gwendoline Erskine Charlesworth shows they had at least 6 children [1] Cyril Edmund Frick b1915 in the Norwood District; [2] Edith Jessie Frick b1917 in the Norwood District; [3] Norma Jean Frick b1918 in the Frome District; [4] Hazel Irene Frick b1920 in the Flinders District; [5] Louis James Frick b1923 in the Flinders District; [6] Inez Doris Frick 1925 in the Flinders District (2). Burnice Patricia Frick died aged 49 yrs on 15 Aug 1973; her husband Louis James Frick died aged 75 yrs on 29 March 1998 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the only ‘Burnice Patricia’ born in SA up to 1928 was Burnice Patricia Graham who was born on 18 Apr 1924 in Halbury SA to parents Edward Otto Graham and Florrie Clara Simon (4), and the only ‘Gwendoline Erskine’ was Gwendoline Erskine Charlesworth who was born on 17 May 1892 in Angaston SA to parents James Basil Evered Charlesworth and Elizabeth Jane Manhire (5). Staying on RootsWeb, Louis James Frick was born on 11 Jan 1923 in Cowell SA to parents Harry Edmond[sic] Frick and Gwendoline Erskine Charlesworth (6), and Harry Edmund Frick was born as Harry Edmund Freck on 18 Nov 1884 in Hawker SA to parents Louis Freck and Fanny Lyons (7). “Mrs EJ Charlesworth Dead: Mrs Elizabeth Jane Charlesworth, of Rokeby avenue, Norwood, whose death has occurred at the age of 76 years, was well known in the district, having been a nurse for many years. She was born in Ballarat, and arrived in this State in her early twenties. A regular attendant at Sydenham Road Methodist Church, the late Mrs Charlesworth had lived in Norwood district for more than 40 years. She was the widow of Mr JBE Charlesworth.

The George Frost Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that George Frost was married in the Frome District in 1898 to Ellen Hayes (2). The ‘all Frost’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of George Frost and Ellen Hayes shows the birth of 2 children [1] William Michael Frost b1899; [2] George Edward Frost b1901, both in the Clare District (2), which confirms the information on her headstone. We still need to find her date of birth, or at least age at death. The Ellen Hayes Birth Index at GenealogySA shows there are 5 births of Ellen Hayes, 4 of which are possible adults for an 1898 marriage (2). A Marriage Notice may tell us her parents, which can identify the Ellen Hayes who is buried at Willaston: “Marriages: Frost—Hayes: On the 8th August, at the Roman Catholic Church, Appila, Terowie, by the Rev Father Doyle, George James, eldest son of the late John Frost, of Clare, to Ellen Teresa Hayes, eldest daughter of Patrick Hayes, farmer, Wirrabara” The Advertiser, Friday 26 August 1898 p4 (3). Armed with this new information, a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ellen Teresa Hayes was born as Ellen Hayes on 29 Jun 1866 at Hd of Belvidere SA to parents Patrick Hayes and Catherine Toole (4). According to the Town of Gawler website, Ellen Frost aged 75 yrs from Gawler East was buried 18 Nov 1941 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 10 N 3, with Father O`Sullivan officiating (5). Thus her age at death of 75 yrs, subtracted from the year 1941 confirms her year of birth as 1866. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/frost_ellen.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29416560?searchTerm=hayes frost&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I15049 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32812 This Frost family headstone is hard to read, and says Annie Ella Frost died aged __ yrs on ___; her husband Arthur Harrison Frost died aged 71 yrs on 3 June 1963, parents of James, Rosie and Nancy (1). I’ve had to rely on the “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery where it tells us that Annie Ella Frost died aged 62 yrs on 12 July 1954 (2). The Town of Gawler website tells us that Annie Ella Frost aged 62 yrs from Lewiston was buried 12 July 1954 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 6 N 4, with Rev R Plowes officiating (3), confirming the above details. The Arthur Harrison Frost Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1924 in Adelaide, he was married to Annie Ella Sandercock (4). The ‘all Frost’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Arthur Harrison Frost and Annie Ella Sandercock shows the birth of 3 children up to 1928, all in the Barossa District [1] James Edward Frost b1925; [2] Rosie Eileen Frost b1927; [3] Nancy Jean Frost b1928 (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Arthur Harrison Frost was born on 14 Jun 1891 at Port Gawler to parents Levi Frost and Matilda Pederick (5), and Annie Ella Sandercock was born on 31 Jan 1892 in Riverton SA to parents John Edward Sandercock and Rosa Rhoda Smith (6). On the LDS website, William Frost
was born in 1822 in Northamptonshire, England, died on 12 Jan 1913 at Lewiston SA and is buried at Bethesda SA. His parents were Thomas and Frances Frost who had married before 1822 in England. William Frost arrived in SA in 1848 aboard the David Malcolm, and was a farmer living in Lewiston. He was married in the UK to Rebecca Harrison (born 1823, died 13 Apr 1897 Port Gawler), and had 3 children prior to coming to Australia. The 8 Australian-born children of William Frost and Rebecca Harrison were [4] Unknown Frost born 11 Mar 1850 Tam O'Shanter Belt SA, died 12 Mar 1850 SA; [5] William Frost born 15 Dec 1851 Tam O'Shanter Belt, died 15 Dec 1851 SA; [6] Jabez Frost born 16 Nov 1853 Tam O'Shanter Belt, died 16 Nov 1853 SA; [7] Arthur Frost born 5 Nov 1855 Port Gawler; [8] Levi Frost born 2 Jan 1858 Virginia SA; [9] James Frost born 27 May 1859 Port Gawler, died 29 May 1859 Port Gawler; [10] Eliza Frost born 12 Apr 1860 Port Gawler; [11] Amy Frost born 21 Mar 1862 Port Gawler (7). Further information on the lDS website about the Australian family of William Frost and Rebecca Harrison [7] Arthur Frost was married on 31 Mar 1880 at Hindmarsh SA to Mary Ann Maley; [8] Levi Frost was married on 14 Mar 1888 in Lewiston to Matilda Pederick; [10] Eliza Frost was married on 6 Mar 1888 at Two Wells SA to William Clark; [11] Amy Frost was married on 14 Apr 1885 in Port Gawler to Albert Oates (8). Still on the LDS website, Levi Frost was born on 2 Jan 1858 in Virginia and was married aged 30 yrs on 14 Mar 1888 in Lewiston to Matilda Pederick also aged 30 yrs, and was born 7 Sep 1857 Port Gawler. The children of Levi Frost and Matilda Pederick were [1] Ethel Rosetta Frost born 23 May 1889 Lewiston; [2] Arthur Harrison Frost born 14 Jun 1891 Port Gawler; [3] Gertrude Matilda Frost born 12 Jan 1894 Port Gawler (9). This Frost family headstone celebrates Matilda Frost who died aged 78 years on 15 Jan 1936; her husband Levi Frost who died aged 93 yrs on 2 Feb 1951; their daughters [presumably surnamed Frost as well] Ethel Rosetta Frost died aged 73 yrs on 27 Jan 1963; and Gertrude Matilda Frost died aged 85 yrs on 27 June 1979 (10). According to the Town of Gawler website, Matilda Frost aged 78 yrs from Gawler South was buried on 16 Jan 1936 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 58 H 2, with Rev Andrews officiating (11), and Levi Frost aged 93 yrs from Gawler was buried 3 Feb 1951 in the same Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 58 H 2, with Rev Wellington officiating (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/frost_annie_ella_&_arthur_harrison.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33723 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I709308 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I334419 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I149274&tree=SouthAustralia 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F44799&tree=SouthAustralia 9 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I93637&tree=SouthAustralia 10 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/frost_matilda,_levi,_ethel_rosetta_&_gertude_matilda.jpg 11 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33139 12 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34201 362 Louisa Frost died aged 84 yrs on 11 Feb 1905, mother of Caroline Wise (1). There is no Caroline Frost Birth Index at GenealogySA but the corresponding Marriage Index confirms that in 1872 in Adelaide, Caroline Sophia Wilhelmina Frost married George Wise (2). “Deaths: Frost: On the 11th February, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs George Wise, Express-street, Gawler West, Augusta Louise, relict of the late John Frost, Lyndoch and Williamstown, aged 83 years. A colonist of 56 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 18 February 1905 p29 (3). Unfortunately this is all I can find out about Louisa Frost 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/frost_louisa.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88422892?searchTerm=louisa frost&searchLimits= 363 August F Gaerth died aged 89 yrs on 10 July 1972; his wife G Meta Gaerth died aged 95 yrs on 20 Oct 1988 (1), making their years of birth c1883 and c1893 respectively. The August F Gaerth Marriage Index shows that in the Kapunda District in 1921, August Friedrich Gaerth was married to Gesina Meta Pfitzner (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people doesn’t show the birth details of either August Friedrich Gaerth or Gesina Meta Pfitzner under those names. The ‘all Gaerth’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of August Friedrich Gaerth and Gesina Meta Pfitzner shows three births, all in the Kapunda District, [1] Dela Gaerth b1922 to parents August Frederick Gaerth and Gesiena Meta Koster Pfitzner; [2] Victor Gaerth b1925 to parents August Friedrich Gaerth and Gesine Meta Koster Pfitzner; [3] Eric Gaerth b1927 to parents August Frederick Gaerth and Gesina Meta Koster (2). This gives the impression that Gesine Meta may have been married before, to either a Mr Pfitzner or a Mr Koster. A check on the ‘all Pfitzner’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of a Mr Pfitzner and Gesina Meta Koster shows another 3 children [1] Friedrich Arthur Pfitzner b1914 to parents Herman Gustav Friedrich Pfitzner and Gesine Meta Koster in the Kapunda District; [2] Walter Clemens Pfitzner b1916 to parents Herrmann Gustav Friedrich Pfitzner and Gesine Meta Koster in the Kapunda District; [3] Konrad Pfitzner b1919 to parents Herman Gustav Frederick Pfitzner and Gesine Meta Koster in the Gilbert District (2). This shows that Gesine Meta Gaerth was formerly Pfitzner nee Koster and her proper Christian name was most likely Gesine, not Gesina. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people seeking all SA birth (up to 1928) with the first names ‘Gesine Meta’ shows only one birth, that of Gesine Meta Koster who was born on 14 Jul 1893 near Eudunda SA to parents Diedrich Koster and Eleonora Caroline Lindner (3). The ‘all Koster’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Gesine Meta Koster was married in the Kapunda District to Hermann Gustav Friedrich Pfitzner in 1913 (2). A search of Hermann Gustav Pfitzner on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries Index shows that Hermann Gustav Pfitzner was buried in Tarnma Friedrichswalde Lutheran Cemetery in 1919 (2) “Deaths: Pfitzner: On the 20th September, at Tarnma, Herrmann Gustav Friedrich, dearly beloved husband of Meta, and loving father of Arthur and Clem, aged 32 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 4 October 1919 p31 (4). Then she marries August F Gaerth in 1921 and has 3 more children. But I cannot find his birth details, so he may have come from outside SA. According to the minimal data on the LDS website, August Frederick Gaerth was born in 1877 to father Ferdinand Frederick Gaerth, and was married on 20 Oct 1916 in North Adelaide SA to Rose Anna Honeychurch who was born 22 Jan 1895 at Head of English SA to parents Thomas Honeychurch and Margaret Carr (5). If this is the same August Frederick Gaerth, he was older than his given age at death, and closer to age 95 yrs in 1972. Back to the ‘all Gaerth’ Birth Index, there were 2 children, both born in the Kapunda District [1] Eileen Dorothy Gaerth b1917 to parents Friedrich August Gaerth and Rose Hannah Honeychurch; [2] Gordon Percevill Gaerth b1919 to parents August Freiderich Gaerth and Rose Anna Honeychurch (2), and the Rose Anna Gaerth Death Index shows that Rosa Hannah[sic] Gaerth died in the Kapunda district in 1919, with nominated relative her husband August Frederick Gaerth (2). So this timing is right for his marriage to the widowed Gesine Meta Pfitzner nee Koster in 1921. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gaerth_august_f_&_g._meta.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32

The only AF Gale on the Marriage Index at GenealogySA is the 1920 wedding in the Port Gawler District between Archibald Frank Gale and Mabel Phillips (2). On the World War Two Nominal Roll Archibald Frank Gale was born on 30 Apr 1898 at Crystal Brook SA, and was still living there when he enlisted on 7 Mar 1942 at Wayville SA in the Australian Army, with Next of Kin Mabel Gale. Private Gale was discharged on 27 Apr 1942 from Recruit Reception Depot (3). Archibald Frank Gale was then enlisted in Adelaide on 28 Apr 1942 in the Royal Australian Air Force. Corporal Gale was discharged on 8 Oct 1945 from the School of Administration (4). As a crosscheck, a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Archibald Frank Gale was born on 30 Apr 1898 in Crystal Brook SA to parents Richard Henry Gale and Ellen (fmly) Gale (nee) Pritchard (5). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices in the Advertiser reveals that there was a funeral notice for an Archibald Frank Gale on 1985-08-26, one day after the death of AF Gale (6). On the website Geni, it tells us that Mabel Phillips was born on 16 May 1902 in Gawler to parents Edmund Phillips and Elizabeth Jacobs. Her siblings were Walter James Phillips; Edmund Henry Phillips; Beatrice Phillips; Rachel Georgina Phillips; Hilda May Phillips; Robert Charles Phillips; Amy Eliza Phillips and Henry William Phillips. Mabel Phillips was married to Archibald Frank Gale and she was the mother of Allan Thomas Gale (7). Back to the RootsWeb site, Allan Thomas Gale was born on 18 Sep 1920 in Adelaide to parents Archibald Frank Gale and Mabel Phillips (8), but there is no record of the births of Ruth or Mostyn, which means that they were born after 1928 or the family was living away from SA at the time. In the Crystal Brook Cemetery Records, there is an Emmeline Ruth Gale, daughter of Archibald Frank Gale and Mabel nee Phillips, who died in Booleroo Centre Hospital, was buried in Grave № 838D [Row 7] (9), but no dates or ages are mentioned. The ‘E Gale’ Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Emmeline Ruth Gale died in the Frome District in 1932, with nominated relative her father Frank Archibald Gale (9). Ruth’s Death Notice: “Deaths: Gale: On the 16th September, at Booleroo Centre Hospital, Emmeline Ruth, dearly beloved only daughter of Mr and Mrs Arch Gale, and little sister of Allan, late of Crystal Brook, aged two years and eight months” The Advertiser, Tuesday 4 October 1932 p8 (10). We have learned that when Ruth died in her third year in 1932, there was no mention of a brother Mostyn, and I haven’t been able to find his date of birth, although this notice: “Birthdays: Birthday greetings are extended to the undermentioned members of the Children's Hospital Birthday League. ... Mostyn Gale, Barossa Reservoir (13 years) ... “ The Advertiser, Wednesday 30 August 1950 p22 (11), indicates he was born in 1937. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gale_a.f..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=702097 4 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=R&veteranId=896337 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I726900 6 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 7 http://www.geni.com/people/Mabel-Phillips/6000000017619190532 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I509737 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/pt_pirie/crystalbrookgndata.htm 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35170131?searchTerm=emmeline ruth gale&searchLimits= 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44925663?searchTerm=Gale Phillips Mostyn&searchLimits= This William Charles Gallagher headstone is very difficult to read but I think it says that he died aged 75 yrs on 9 July 1978, youngest son of Jim and Clara of Burra (1). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he died on 9 July 1973, with no age given (2), but my reading seems more accurate to me. A search of William Charles Gallagher at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices Index says that his death notice was in the 1978 Advertiser (3), and the corresponding Birth Index shows that in the Burra District in 1903, he was born to parents James Henry Gallagher and Clara Terry (3), confirming the names of his parents (and town) on the headstone. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have been in the Advertiser confirms the funeral notice for William Charles Gallagher on 11 July 1978 (4). Clearly he died in 1978, not in 1973, confirmed by his age at death of 75 years. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that William Charles Gallagher was born on 27 Jan 1903 in Copperhouse SA to parents James Henry Gallagher and Clara Terry (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gallagher_william_charles.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I725000 Joe Gallop’s headstone doesn’t say much, just “Joe” Gallop (died) aged 67 yrs (1). The suggestion is that Joe may not be his correct first name. The ‘all Gallop’ Birth Index at GenealogySA has only two names {up until 1928}, both in the Willunga District [1] Ethel Melina Emma Gallop b1883 to parents William Charles Gallop and Sabina Toms; [2] Percival Thomas Gallop b1886 to parents Charles William Gallop and Sabina Toms (2). The ‘all Gallop’ Newspaper Death Notices Index at GenealogySA has 4 entries, all in the Advertiser: [1] 1982 Joseph (Joe) Gallop; [2] 1982 Joseph Gallop; [3] 1988 Peg Gallop; [4] 2010 John Guildford Gallop (2). There is no other information at GenealogySA, and by far the most likely for this headstone is that “Joe” Gallop died aged 67 yrs in 1982. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper has a Joseph Gallop funeral notice on 26 April 1982 (3). If this is correct, Joe would have been born c1915, but nothing indicates it was a registered SA Birth, with nothing at RootsWeb apart from the two births noted above. Without confirmation, I’m not confident I’m on the right track, so cannot enter the meagre data we know. When searching the surname Gallop, there seems quite a few in WA, but even there, nothing comes up for a Joe Gallop born c1915, just a Joseph Lionel Gallop born in Perth WA on 28 Apr 1920 (4). However, the records of Mandurah Cemetery WA show that Joseph Lionel Gallop (born 28 April 1920, died 15 Sep 2000) is buried there with wife Jean and daughter Shirley (5). Actually we are not even sure that “Joe” was male 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gallop_joe.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 4 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=757123 5 http://www.ozburials.com/CemsWA/Mandurah/mandurah.htm Annie Galpin died on 8 June 1942 is all her headstone tells us (1). Her death notice doesn’t tell us her age: “Deaths: Galpin: On June 8, at 17 Murray st, Gawler (suddenly), Annie Galpin, beloved mother of Edgar, Mavis, Jean, Syd (AIF), and Lorna” The Advertiser, Tuesday 9
June 1942 p8 (2), and it doesn’t mention her husband. The ‘all Galpin’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Mr Galpin and Annie __ shows 6 births to parents James Galpin and Annie Leggett all in the Grey District [1] Edgar James Galpin b1907; [2] Orlean Galpin b1909; [3] Mavis Irene Galpin b1911; [4] Hanah Jane Galpin b1913; [5] Sydney Stanley Galpin b1918; [6] Lorna May Galpin b1921 (3). The ‘Annie Leggett’ Birth Index at GeneaologySA has no Annie Leggett but it has an Annie Laggett born in the Frey District in 1888 to parents John Brown and Annie Laggett (3), which is unusual to be given the mother’s surname and not the father’s, so one can assume that the formal marital knot was as yet still untied. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Annie Leggett was born Annie Laggett on 12 Sep 1888 in Warrolong nr Mount Gambier SA to parents John Brown and Annie Laggett (4). On the James Galpin Marriage Index at GenealogySA we find he married Annie Leggett in 1905 in the Grey District [ie the south east] (3). The only name on the James Galpin Birth Index at GenealogySA was born in 1851 to parents John Galpin and Charlotte Eat in the Adelaide District (3), and the only name on the James Galpin Death Index is James Galpin who died in 1930 in the Grey District (3). Because of the spelling difference of Leggett, and because Annie has her mother’s surname, not her father’s, I will need to find other evidence from a different source to verify my findings. If Annie Galpin who died in Gawler was born in 1888, she would have been about 54 when she died [12+42=54]. I could find nothing relevant in the Bunyip on James or Annie Galpin. According to the data at the LDS website, James Galpin was born on 14 Nov 1851 at Willunga SA to parents John Galpin (born c1823 England and died 14 Jul 1894 Allendale East SA) and Charlotte Eats (born in 1832 Cambridgeshire England and died 24 Aug 1871 Allendale East), who had married on 6 Dec 1849 SA. James Galpin married Hannah Lammont born c1857 and died 14 Dec 1913 Mt Gambier. Children were [1] Alice May Galpin born 31 Oct 1895 Mt Gambier; [2] Henry Galpin born 6 Aug 1899 Williamstown SA and died 17 Aug 1899 Williamstown (5). Did James Galpin have two families and marry Annie Leggett before his first wife died in 1913? Or are there more thanone James Galpin? Either way, I’m happy with the details of Annie Galpin nee Leggett / Laggett. On the Town of Gawler’s website, Annie Galpin aged 54 years of Gawler was buried on 9/06/1942 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 49 G 4 (6), and James Galpin aged 78 died 22/09/1930 was buried in Lake Terrace Cemetery - Mount Gambier [Section B, Plot/Grave/Niche 163] (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/galpin_annie.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48869701?searchTerm=annie galpin&searchLimits= 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I99190 5 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I11784&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32848 7 http://mountgambier.dcw.lga.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32364 368 Jacob Gardner died 1898. His wife Mary Gardner died 190?2?3? Erected by daughter Martha ?Gardner? (1). SA Cemeteries Willaston Cemetery for Jacob Gardner has a Memorial Inscription for Jacob Gardner but the Burial Register says Jacob Gardiner (2). The Jacob Gardner Death Index says he died in 1898 with his relative’s name A Gardner (NC - ?niece) form the Norwood District (3). He doesn’t appear on the Birth or Marriage Index. On the Mary Gardner Memorial Inscription at Willaston Cemetery, there’s no more information, but the Burial Register says Mary Ann Gardiner (4). The Mary Gardner Death Index says a Mary Gardiner, wife of the late Jacob Gardiner died in 1901 in the Port Gawler Disrict (5). On the Community Trees LDS website, Jacob Gardner was born in 1828 and died 11 Jul 1898 in North Norwood SA. He emigrated before 1868, and was a labourer, who had lived in South Gawler and Peachey Belt. He married Mary Ann Woodward [b1826, died 15 Mar 1901, Gawler], with whom he had children [1] John Woodward Gardner b1849; [2] Sarah Gardner born 14 Oct 1853 SA and died 20 Jul 1865 Gawler; [3] Lydia Gardner born 8 Aug 1855 SA and died 2 Apr 1856 SA; [4] Gardner born 6 Oct 1856 Gawler River; [5] Thomas Gardner born 19 Oct 1858 Mudla Wirra SA; [6] Edward Joseph Gardner b1859 and died 21 Oct 1894 Adelaide; [7] Charles Edward Gardner born 2 Apr 1861 Gawler River; [8] Mary Annie Gardner born 28 Mar 1863 Gawler River; [9] Joseph Gardner born 23 Dec 1864 Gawler; [10] Ruth Jane Gardner born 12 Oct 1868 Gawler and died 20 Jun 1874; [11] Benjamin Gardner born 12 Oct 1868 {twin} and died 3 Feb 1869 Gawler; [12] Ruth Jane Gardner born 12 Oct 1868 {twin}; [13] James Henry Gardner born 10 Mar 1872 Gawler and died 4 Feb 1874 Gawler (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gardner_jacob_&_mary.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=R2FyZG5lcg==&g=SmFjb2I=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=R2FyZG5lcg==&g=SmFjb2I=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=R2FyZG5lcg==&g=TWFyeQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=R2FyZG5lcg==&g=TWFyeQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I82224&tree=SouthAustralia 369 The photo labelled Henry Garrood has no inscription to be seen (1). According to the Gawler Council website, Henry Garrood aged 25 years of Willaston was buried 15/11/1874 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 41 A 4, Canon Coombs officiating (2) The Bunyip, Friday 27 November 1874 p2 recorded “Death. Garrood. On the 14th November, at the residence of his sister, Mrs HE Bright jun, Gawler. Henry Garrood (formerly of the ship City of Adelaide), youngest son of Mr RE Garrood, Chelmsford, England, after a few days illness of inflamation of the lungs, aged 24 years” (3). Henry Garrood signed on to the crew of the City of Adelaide as an Indentured Apprentice on 1865-06-28 in London. He was born c1849 and became Crew Member Number 31 (4). His first trip to Australia started in July 1865 and he made 7 round trips, by which time he was Second Mate, Crew Member Number 3 (5). His 8th and last voyage to Australia culminated by arriving in Port Adelaide on 24th August 1874 (6). Henry Garrood’s sister: “Mr HE [Henry Edward] Bright junior [Gawler Mayor 187980] was born March 16, 1843 at Chelmsford, Essex, England. His mother’s name was Jane Prudence (nee King). He came to South Australia with his parents as a boy in April, 1850, and the following year the family moved to Gawler. After spending some of his time as a border[sic] with Mr Burton’s school, Henry went back to England in 1856 to complete his education at King Edward VI Grammar School, returning to Gawler in 1859. On October 29, 1863, Mr Bright married Harriet Garrood – who was also born at Chelmsford – in Gawler, and they had eight children” (7). Presumably this is a different Harriet to the Harriet Ann Garrood buried at Willaston (8) 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/garrood_henry.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30356 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97206715?searchTerm=Garrood&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://cityofadelaide.org.au/paxwiki/Voyage_to_Adelaide_in_1867 5 http://cityofadelaide.org.au/paxwiki/Garrood,_Henry_-_I20177 6 http://cityofadelaide.org.au/paxwiki/Voyage_to_London_in_1873 7 http://gawler.nowandthen.net.au/index.php?title=Bright,_Henry_Edward_Junior 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=R2Fycm9vZA==&g=SGFycmlldA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 370 Henry Joseph Garrood formerly of Burnham, Essex, England, late of Adelaide died 4 July 1886. His sister Agnes Louisa Palmer aged 72
years shares the headstone (1). Harriet Ann Garrood was the eldest daughter of John Joseph and Annie Garrood of Burnham, Essex, England but no dates are given (2). The Harriet Ann Garrood Death Index shows she died in 1879 (3). On the Gawler Council’s Burial Register, Harriet Ann Garrood of Adelaide was buried 27/10/1879 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 2 A 4, Canon Coombs officiating. Unfortunately no age is given, but at least we found out that she died in October 1879 (4). Harriet Ann Garrood dies: “On the 25th October, at the residence of JC Dunn, Barnard-street, North Adelaide, Harriet Ann, eldest daughter of the late John Joseph Garrood, of Burnham, in the County of Essex, England” South Australian Register, Monday 27 October 1879 p4 (5). I have read 4 death notices although I’ve only referenced this one. None of them say her age. We now have her exact date of death but not yet her age nor date of birth. Henry Joseph Garrood of Adelaide died 4/7/1886 and was buried 6/7/1886 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 1 A 4, Rev Canon Coombs officiating (6). Henry Joseph Garrood’s sister Agnes Louisa was married in 1871, as noted in the Bunyip, Saturday 9 September 1871 p2 “Marriage. Palmer-Garrood: On the 6th September, at St Paul's Church; by the Very Rev the Dean of Adelaide, George Palmer Jun of Gawler, to Agnes Louisa, youngest daughter of Mr JJ Garrood, of Ipswich. Suffolk, England” (7). Henry Joseph Garrood dies: “On the 4th July, at North Adelaide, of inflammation of the lungs, Henry Joseph (late of Gawler), son of the late John Joseph Garrood, Burnham, Essex, in his 47th year. Gawler friends will kindly accept this intimation”. Bunyip, Friday 9 July 1886 p2 (8) All we know is Harriet Ann had a brother Henry Joseph and and a younger sister Agnes Louisa, all children of JJ Garrood (2,7,8). We still need Harriet’s DOB or age at death. ?how did she get to SA - is she on some ship’s passenger list? As her father doesn’t seem to have come to Australia, I assume the kids were fairly grown up, at least. Also Henry Garrood [see Note 369] may have been a relative such as a cousin – he was a sailor, father RE Garrood, he was visiting his sister when he suddenly died?pneumonia 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/garrood_henry_joseph.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/garrood_harriet_ann.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=R2Fycm9vZA==&g=SGFycmlldA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29856 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43094267?searchTerm=Harriet%20Garrood&searchLimits= 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29450 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97216950?searchTerm=Garrood&searchLimits=l-title=371 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97213527?searchTerm=Garrood&searchLimits=l-title=371 371 William Henry Gartrell was born at Coldstepney, Cornwell[sic] on 29 May 1812 and died in his 52nd yr at Roseworthy on 22 Nov 1868; his wife Grace Gartrell was born at St Hellery Cornwall on 10 June 1812 and died 9 April 1868 (1), although it is not easy to read. The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that William Henry Gartrell was born in 1912 (2), which is years after his death in 1868, and doesn’t make sense. He was actually born in 1812. According to information on the LDS website, William Henry Gartrell was born in 1812 in Cornwall, England, and died 22 Nov 1863 at Roseworthy SA. He arrived in SA in 1847 aboard the Trafalgar; he was a farmer and councillor, who had resided in Mudla Wirra, and Roseworthy. William Henry Gartrell was married prior to arrival in Australia to Grace Hosking [born 1812, died 9 Apr 1868 Roseworthy]. The children of William Henry Gartrell and Grace Hosking were [1] Edwin Gartrell born c1842, died 5 Feb 1912 Croydon SA; [2] Elizabeth Gartrell born c1843: [3] Christian Gartrell born 15 May 1850 SA, died 1 Apr 1898 Black Rock SA; [4] Mary Gartrell born 17 Nov 1852 Little Para SA; [5] John Gartrell born 12 Sep 1853 Adelaide (3). So we must correct his date of death from 1868 to 1863, which then agrees with the fact that he was 51 yrs old (in his 52nd year) when he died. William Henry Gartrell’s 1863 death is confirmed: “Deaths: Gartrell: On the 22nd November, at Roseworthy Farm, William Henry Gartrell, aged 51 years, deeply regretted by all who knew him” South Australian Register, Thursday 26 November 1863 p2 (4). On their headstone, Edwin Gartrell died aged 70 yrs {in his 71st year} on 5 Feb 1912; his wife Mary Jane Gartrell died aged 68 yrs on 13 June 1915 (5), making their years of birth c1842 and c1847 respectively. Back on the LDS website, Edwin Gartrell was married on 20 Mar 1867 in Gawler to Mary Jane Skewes [born c1847 Redruth Cornwall]. The children of Edwin Gartrell and Mary Jane Skewes were [1] Albert Edwin Gartrell born 1 Feb 1868 Roseworthy; [2] Arthur Henry Gartrell born 7 Feb 1871 Roseworthy; [3] Louisa Jane Gartrell born 12 Apr 1873 Roseworthy; [4] Lilly Josepha Gartrell born 4 Feb 1876 Roseworthy; [5] Eva Emily Gartrell born 7 Jul 1878 Gawler River (6). Despite searches, I haven’t been able to find the precise dates of birth for Edwin and Mary Ann Gartrell. On her headstone, Edith Gertrude Gartrell died aged 4_ yrs on 12 Oct 1913, the wife of Arthur H Gartrell, mother of Kenneth (7). The Kenneth Gartrell Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Kenneth Hugh Gartrell was born in the Barossa District in 1899 to parents Arthur Henry Gartrell and Edith Gertrude Day (8), making Kenneth Hugh Gartrell a grandson of Edwin and Mary Jane Gartrell. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Edith Gertrude Day was born on 20 Oct 1871 in Reeves Plains SA to parents Luke Day and Louisa Thorne (9), confirming that she was aged 41 years, nearly 42 yrs, when she died. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gartrell_william_henry_&grace.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I125571&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/50170672?searchTerm=william gartrell&searchLimits= 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gartrell_edwin_&_mary_jane.jpg 6 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I249107&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gartrell_edith_gertrude.jpg 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I541273 372 Elizabeth A Garnett died aged 73 yrs on 4 Dec 1981; her husband Albert W Garnett died aged 80 yrs on 7 May 1985; parents of Jean, Betty, Donald and Valerie. Elizabeth A was also apparently the step-mother of Coral (1), implying that Albert had a daughter from a previous relationship. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser shows one for Elizabeth (Bessie) Garnett on 5 Dec 1981, and for Albert Walter (Alf) Garnet[sic] on 8 May 1985 (2). The Albert Garnett Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Albert Walter Garnett was born in the Frome District in 1904 to parents John Garnett and Mary Teresa Edna Cook (3). A general Google of Albert Walter Garnett shows a “Lehmann Henschke” website that tells us that Albert Walter Garnett was born in 1904 in SA to parents John Garnett (1863-1943) and Mary Theresa Edna Cook (1873-1939); and he was married to Elizabeth Annie May Thomas in 1932 SA (4). The Albert Garnett Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Albert Walter Garnett was married in 1932 to Elizabeth Annie May Thomas in the Kapunda District; but prior to this, he had married Elsie Louisa Summers in the Frome District in 1926 (3), and the ‘all Garnett’ Birth Index reveals that there was a child from his first marriage, Coral Lorraine Garnett was born in the Frome District in 1926 to parents Albert Walter Garnett and Elsie Louisa Summers (3). The Elsie Louisa Garnett Death Index at GenealogySA shows that she died in the Frome District in 1928, with nominated relative her husband Albert Garnett (3). This confirms the headstone’s saying that Coral Garnett was the step-daughter of Elizabeth A Garnett, and also that Albert W Garnett was a widower when he re-married in in 1932. A
search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Albert Walter Garnett was born in 1904 {no precise detail given} at Pinda SA to parents John Garnett and Mary Teresa Edna Cook (5), and Elizabeth Annie May Thomas was born on 20 Oct 1908 in Adelaide to parents Samson Thomas Thomas and Annie Kingsbury (6). Possibly Albert Walter Garnett had siblings who may account for the other Garnetts buried here. The ‘all Garnett’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Garnett and Mary Teresa Edna Cook reveals that Mary Teresa Edna Garnett nee Cook had been previously married to a Mr Hitch. Leaving that to one side, there were at least 8 children born to John Garnett and Mary Teresa Edna Cook, all born in the Frome District [1] Francis Henry Garnett b1901; [2] Albert Walter Garnett b1904; [3] Marjorie Olive Garnett b1905; [4] Alfred Roy Garnett b1907; [5] Mavis Elsie Myrtle Garnett b1910; [6] Laurence Keith Garnett b1912; [7] Maxwell Arnold Garnett b1915; [8] Daisy Muriel Garnett 1918 (3).Donald Garnett is noted on their headstone as a son of Elizabeth A and Albert W Garnett. On his headstone, Donald Murray Garnett (1941-2002), was the father of Anita, Glenys, Lyall and Wendy, but no mention of a spouse (7). “Births: Garnett: On the 3rd of August, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Mr and Mrs AW Garnett, of Willaston — a son” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 7 August 1941 p16 (8). The Savill Index does not have his funeral notice, so I cannot narrow down his precise date of death. Back on RootsWeb, Laurence Garnett was born Laurence Keith Garnett on 26 Jun 1912 in Hammond SA to parents John Garnett and Mary Teresa Edna Cook (9), Maxwell Arnold Garnett was born on 4 Apr 1915 in Wilmington SA to the same parents John Garnett and Mary Theresa Edna Cook (10). On his headstone, Laurence Garnett died aged 60 in Nov 1973, but back on the Savill Index, Lawrence[sic] Keith Garnett has a Funeral Notice in the Advertiser on 21 Nov 1972 (2), so most likely he died on 20 Nov 1972. Back on the “Lehmann Henschke” website, Laurence Keith Garnett (1912 – 1972) was one of 11 siblings (and one stepsister) of parents John Garnett and Mary Theresa Edna Cook. John Garnett (9 Apr 1863 - 11 Apr 1943) was the only child of Thomas Garnett (born ca 1836) and Jane Freeman (9 Nov 1834 - 20 Aug 1923). Mary Theresa Edna Cook (19 Aug 1873 - 29 Dec 1939) was the daughter {one of 8 children} of Stephen Cook and Charlotte Emma Stutely (12). This would seem to confirm that Laurence Keith Garnett died in 1972, not in 1973 as it says on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/garnett_elizabeth_a_&_albert_w.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS222/PS222_370.HTM 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I273106 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I674212 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/garnett_donald_murray.jpg 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92413483?searchTerm=Garnett%20Donald%20Murray&searchLimits= 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I510650 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I510651 11 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/garnett_laurence.jpg 12 http://graememoad.com/Family/PC222/PC222_373.HTM 373 Johanne D Garrett died aged 80 yrs on 22 April 1963; her husband Edward Garrett died aged 97 yrs on 20 Oct 1969 (1), making their respective years of birth c1883 and c1872. The ‘all Garrett’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Edward Garrett and Johanne D__ ___ shows firstly that in the Angaston District in 1872, Edward Gerrett Garrett was born to parents Richard Garrett and Mathilde Garrett formerly Lowmann nee Nitschke (2), and then there were at least three children born to parents Edward Garrett and Johanne Dorothea Altmann [1] Dorothea Helene Garrett b1907 in the Barossa District; [2] Elsa Louise Garrett b1908 in the Angaston District; [3] Edwin Richard Garrett b1910 in the Barossa District (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Edward Garrett was born as Edward Gerrett Garrett on 14 Aug 1872 in Sandscrup SA to parents Richard Garrett and Mathilde (fmly) Lowmann (nee) Nitschke (3), and Johanne Dorothea Altmann was born as Johanne Dorethie Altmann on 15 Feb 1883 in Quorn SA to parents Gustave Aultmann[sic] and Friedericke Noll (4). The Edward Garrett Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Frome District in 1905 he was married to Joanne Dorathea[sic] Altmann (2), although I could not find a marriage notice using Trove. I rather think that Edward’s middle name on the Birth Register was a mistake, but not crossed out, when it was supposed to go into the surname section 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/garrett_johanne_d_&_edward.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I728724 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I534162 374 Leonard Grimshaw Gaynes died at aged 2 months; he shares the headstone with 3 members of the Sweeney family: Daniel Sweeney who was born in 1827 and died in 1909; his wife Emma Sweeney who was born in 1831 and died in 1921; and their youngest daughter Maria Sweeney who died aged 2 yrs and 5 mths (1), so presumably Leonard Grimshaw Gaynes is somehow related to the Sweeney family. The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery uses the surname “Gayes” (2) when it clearly says “Gaynes” on the headstone. So we need to find some dates for Leonard Grimshaw. The Leonard Grimshaw Gaynes Birth Index at GenealogySA tells us that he was born in 1903 in the Burra District to parents Thomas Augustus Gaynes and Emma Sweeney (3), giving us a time frame and also confirming the link to the Sweeney family. Leonard Grimshaw Gaynes was born on 19 Jan 1903 in Renmark SA to parents Thomas Augustus Gaynes and Emma Sweeney (4), so if he was 2 mths old when he died, that would be in March 1903. The ‘all Sweeney’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Daniel Sweeney and Emma __ shows 8 registered births to Daniel Sweeney and Emma Grimshaw, all but the first child were born in the Barossa District [1] Alfred Sweeny[sic] b1856 in Adelaide; [2] Louisa Sweeney b1861; [3] Daniel Sweeney b1863; [4] Emma Sweeney b1866; [5] George Sweeney b1867; [6] Catherine Sweeney b1870; [7] Maria Sweeney b1872; [7] James Sweeney b1875 (3). Back on RootsWeb, Maria Sweeney was born on 10 May 1872 in Gawler to parents Daniel Sweeney and Emma Grimshaw (5), so Maria Sweeney would have died in October 1874. On the Town of Gawler website, Maria Sweeney aged 2 yrs 6 months who last resided in Gawler was buried 23 Oct 1874 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 27 C 3, with Rev T Bonjarets officiating (6). On a website recording the “Sweeney Family Index”, there is a plethora of information about Emma Sweeney who was born in Gawler SA on 12 Jan 1866. She had her first child [1] Myrtle Olive Sweeney in Adelaide on 26 May 1885. Emma assumed the name of Gannaway between the years 1888 to 1890 or was married interstate as no South Australian record exists. Emma Sweeney and Nathaniel Warlock Gannaway then had the following child [2] Ruby Cladus Gannaway born in Goodwood SA on 24 February 1890. Emma Gannaway nee Sweeney married Thomas Augustus Gaynes in Church Mission Hall, Renmark SA on 30 December 1890. Thomas was the son of James Gaynes. No record of birth in South Australia so is assumed to have emmigrated. Emma Sweeney and Thomas Augustus Gaynes had the following children [3] Sarah Maria Gaynes born in Renmark on 26 August 1891; [4] Thomas Bernard Gaynes was born in Renmark, South Australia on 27 January 1894. Thomas died 28 August 1894 in Renmark, South Australia, at 7 mths; [5] James St Vincent Gaynes was born
in Renmark, South Australia on 20 July 1895. James died 10 August 1895 in Renmark, South Australia, at 3 wks of age; [6] Alma Kathleen Gaynes was born in Renmark on 14 August 1896; [7] Gladyes Victoria Gaynes was born in Renmark on 18 May 1898; [8] Dora Majory Gaynes was born in Renmark on 31 January 1900; [9] Vernon Ronald Gaynes was born in Renmark on 30 September 1901; [10] Leonard Grimshaw Gaynes was born in Renmark on 19 January 1903. Leonard died 27 March 1903 in Gawler South, at 2 mths of age; [11] Frank Graham Gaynes was born in Renmark on 22 July 1905 (7). According to the ‘all Gaynes’ Birth Index at GenealogySA, Emma Sweeney and Thomas Augustus Gaynes had another child not mentioned above: [12] Linda Alexandra Gaynes b1909 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gaynes_leonard_grimshaw.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I725059 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I365952 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29449 7 http://users.adam.com.au/hrsweeney/sweeney_tree/d0/i0001147.htm#i1158 375 This simple headstone says Roy Gent slept 31-10-21 (1). The “G” data page of Willaston Cemetery notes says he died in the year 0921, but it really should be 1921 (2). The Roy Gent Birth Index at GenealogySA has only one entry: Roy West Gent was born in the Clare District in 1890 to parents Charles Harry Gent and Sarah Jane Young (3). The ‘all Gent’ Birth index seeking offspring of Charles Harry Gent and Sarah Jane Young shows that there were 4 children all born in the Clare District [1] Lucy Agnes Gent b1881; [2] May GENT b1882; [3] Walter Stanley Gent b1883; [4] Roy West Gent b1890 (3). The Roy Gent Death Index shows that Roy West Gent died in the Port Gawler District in 1921 (3). According to the Town of Gawler website, Roy West Gent aged 31 yrs who last resided in Gawler South was buried on 1 Nov 1921 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 23 L 2, with Rev LD Rooney officiating (4). According to the website FamilyTree Circles, Tonkin tells us that Sarah Jane Young was born on 20 May 1861 Aldinga SA, her mother was recorded as being Agnes Douglas. Sarah Jane died aged 35 yrs on 10 June 1896 near Koolunga SA. She had married on 14 March 1881 at the residence of James Young in Koolunga to Charles Henry Gent, and they had 4 children [1] Lucy Agnes Gent was born on 07 March 1881 at Koolunga and died a spinster aged 33 yrs on 21 December 1914 Koolunga: [2] May Gent was born on 25 May 1882 Koolunga, and died there aged 9 days on 02 June 1882; [3] Walter Stanley Gent was born on 18 July 1883 at the Head of Koolunga and died aged 73 yrs on 05 September 1956 in Gawler South. He was married on 14 February 1920 at St Cyprians Church, Lower North Adlaide to Louisa Emma Burge (born 20 January 1884 in Lyndoch to parents Mechach Burge and Emma Springbett: [4] Roy West Gent was born on 25 January 1890 Koolunga, and died still single, aged 31 yrs on 31 October 1921 in Gawler South (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gent_roy.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31519&print=1 5 http://www.familytreecircles.com/u/tonkin/?format=&sort=alpha&cat=971 376 E Cyril George died aged 59 yrs on 9 July 1950; his wife Emily George died aged 71 yrs on 26 July 1962; their daughter Mary Elizabeth George was born on 20 Oct 1925, and died 31 Jan 1926 (1). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Mary Elizabeth George died on the 21st Jan 1926 (2), but it looks more like 31st January to me. To confirm this: “Deaths: George. On the 31st January, at Victor Harbour, suddenly, Mary Elizabeth (Molly), the infant daughter of EC and E George, of Wasleys.” The Register (Adelaide), Monday 1 February 1926 p6 (3). The E George Marriage Index at GenelogySA shows that in the Gilbert District in 1921, Edgar Cyril George was married to Emily Gjerding (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Edgar Cyril George was born on 24 May 1891 in Kangaroo Flat SA to parents William Henry George {born on 18 Sep 1861 at Willaston SA} and Sarah Frost {born on 8 May 1862 in Port Gawler SA} (5), but Emily Gjerding doeas not appear on the SA births data. The ‘all Gjerding’ Birth Index at GenealogySA only has one name: Edward Norman Gjerding was born in Adelaide in 1914 to parents Albert Gjerding and Emily Fairbridge (4). {There is an Edward Norman George buried at Willaston. Did he adopt the surname George when his mother married Edgar Cyril George?}. Was the Emily Gjerding who married Edgar Cyril George in 1921 the same Emily Gjerding nee Fairbridge who had a child with Albert Gjerding? If she was born c1891, it is much more likely. Back on RootsWeb, there are no Fairbridge births in SA up to 1928 anyway. As found above, Edgar Cyril George’s father was William Henry George, who is also buried in Willaston. On their headstone, William Henry George died aged 80 yrs on 3 March 1942; his wife Sarah George died aged 83 yrs on 22 Feb 1946 (6), although some of the numbers aren’t easy to read. According to the information on the LDS website, William Henry George was born on 18 Sep 1861 at Kangaroo Flat SA, and died on 3 March 1942 SA. His parents were Richard George (born 7 Feb 1833 Somerset, England, died 15 Jun 1882 Kangaroo Flat) and Anne Foxwell (born in 1830 Somerset, England), who had married on 30 Sep 1852 in West Shepton, Somerset, England. William Henry George, a farmer living at Wasleys, was married aged 23 yrs on 16 Oct 1884 at Bethesda SA to Sarah Anne Frost aged 22 yrs (born on 8 May 1862 at Port Gawler SA to parents Sam and Anne Frost, and she died on 22 Feb 1946 SA). The children of William Henry George and Sarah Anne Frost were [1] Leslie William George born 19 Sept 1886 Gawler River SA, died 1953; [2] Sydney Gilbert George born 10 Apr 1889 Pinkerton Plains SA, died 1946; [3] Edgar Cyril George born 24 May 1891 Kangaroo Flat, died 1950; [4] Blanche Sylvia Ann George born 31 Dec 1893 Kangaroo Flat; [5] Clifford Henry George born 17 Apr 1896 Kangaroo Flat; [6] Marian Euphemia Hannah George (twin) born 13 Oct 1897 Kangaroo Flat, died 5 Dec 1898 Kangaroo Flat; [7] Unnamed George (twin) stillborn 13 Oct 1897; [8] French Redvers George born 13 Feb 1900 Kangaroo Flat, died 1977; [9] Elliot Percival George born 10 Apr 1903 Kangaroo Flat, died 1964 (7). Further information can be found on the LDS website about the family of William Henry George and Sarah Anne Frost. Sarah Anne Frost’s parents were Samuel Frost and Ann Smith; [1] Leslie William George was married aged 22 yrs on 23 Mar 1909 at Kangaroo Flat to Ivy Jubilee Mortimer (8), who was born on 29 Aug 1887 at Gawler River to parents Arthur James Mortimer (born 9 Jul 1855 Gawler) and Elizabeth Mary Ann Symes (born 29 Jan 1860 Gawler River, and died 30 Jan 1897 Gawler), who had married on 30 Oct 1884 in Gawler (9). The parents of William Henry George were Richard George and Ann Foxwell. Their headstone says that Richard George died aged 49 yrs at Kangaroo Flat on 17 June 1882; his wife Ann George died aged 90 yrs on 7 Aug 1919 (10). Back on the LDS website, we know already the birth and marriage details of Richard George and Ann George nee Foxwell, except for Ann’s exact date of birth. Richard George arrived in SA with his wife Ann and two children in 1857 aboard the Monsoon and was a farm labourer living at Kangaroo Flat. The children of Richard George and Ann Foxwell were [1] Harriet Elizabeth Colder nee George born 1854, died 1944; [2] Gilbert George born 1855 Somerset, England; [3] Charles John George born 3 Aug 1858 Kangaroo Flat SA, died 1941 SA; [4] William Henry George born 18 Sep 1861 Kangaroo Flat, died 3 Mar 1942 SA; [5] Richard George born 5 Oct 1865 Kangaroo Flat, died 1933 SA; [6] Mary Anne George nee George born 1866 SA (11). Further information can be found at the LDS website about the family of Richard George and Anne Foxwell: Anne Foxwell’s father was John Foxwell; [1] Harriet Elizabeth George was married
on 12 Feb 1874 in Gawler to Charles Golder; [3] Charles John George was married on 20 Sep 1882 at Kangaroo Flat to Elizabeth Mary Ann Symes; [4] William Henry George was married on 16 Oct 1884 at Bethesda to Sarah Anne Frost; [5] Richard George was married on 10 Mar 1891 in Gawler to Laura Lucinia Symes; [6] Mary Anne George was married on 2 Jun 1896 at Kangaroo Flat to Herbert Clarke George (12). Edward Norman George died aged 64 yrs on 28 April 1979, son of Cyril and Emily George, brother of Sally and Minnie (13). Back on RootsWeb Edward Norman George was born on 2 Jul 1914 in North Adelaide to parents Albert Gjerding and Emily Fairbridge (14), showing that my earlier ruminations were on the right track. He assumed the surname George later. I am left with the precise dates of birth for Ann George nee Foxwell; Emily George formerly Gjerding nee Fairbridge; and Gilbert George, at least two, maybe all, were born in England. I should point out that when trying to see the headstone of Elliot Percival George, the link was broken (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/george_mary_elizabeth,_e_cyril_&_emily.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/64327905?searchTerm=%22mary%20elizabeth%22%20george&searchLimits= 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I730545 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/george_william_henry_&_sarah.jpg 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I147108&tree=SouthAustralia 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F44080&tree=SouthAustralia 9 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I103569&tree=SouthAustralia 10 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/george_richard_&_ann.jpg 11 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I147156&tree=SouthAustralia 12 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F44102&tree=SouthAustralia 13 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/george_edward_norman.jpg 14 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I511773 377 Ellen Claire George died, daughter of Thomas and Margaret George, but no dates are given (1). On their headstone, Thomas Benjamin George died aged 63 yrs on 1 Nov 1943; his wife Margaret George died aged 72 yrs on 18 March 1955 (2). Thomas Benjamin George’s parents were also a Thomas and Margaret: The ‘all George’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Thomas George shows at least 7 children were born to Thomas George and Margaret Hayes, all in Adelaide [1] Alfred Thomas George b1872; [2] Mary Catherine George b1873; [3] Rolland Edward Silas George b1874; [4] Ann George b1876; [5] Robert George b1878; [6] Thomas Benjamin George b1880; [7] Matthew George b1882 (3). The ‘all George’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Thomas Benjamin George and Margaret __ also shows at least 7 children were born to Thomas Benjamin George and Margaret McCann, all in the Barossa District [1] Thomas Roland George b1909; [2] Mary Veronica George b1911; [3] Margaret George b1913; [4] Robert Basil George b1914; [5] Ellen Clair George b1916; [6] Kevin Alfred Hayes George 1918; [7] Catherine George b1921 (3). The Ellen Claire George Death Index at GenealogySA shows that she died in Adelaide in 1970, with nominated relative MV George [T] (3), whatever that abbreviation means – she did have an older sister Mary Veronica George, and it may be her. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ellen Clair George was born on 14 Oct 1916 in Gawler to parents Thomas Benjamin George and Margaret McCann (4), Margaret George was born on 27 Apr 1913 in Gawler to the same parents Thomas Benjamin George and Margaret McCann (5), Thomas Benjamin George was born on 29 Aug 1880 in Yatala (now Rosewater), Adelaide to parents Thomas George and Margaret Hayes (6), but another entry has Thomas Benjamin George born 3 days later on 1 Sep 1880 in Yatala (now Rosewater), Adelaide to parents Thomas George and Margaret Hayes (7) and only one can be correct, I’ve opted for the earlier date, and finally Margaret McCann was born on 1 Jul 1883 in Adelaide to parents Thomas McCann and Mary McCormack (8). The Margaret Estelle George headstone just says she was the daughter of Thomas and Margaret George (9), and looks very similar to the headstone for Ellen Clair George. If so, the parents would be Thomas Benjamin George and Margaret McCann, who had a daughter Margaret, and not his parents Thomas George and Margaret Hayes, who did not have a daughter Margaret. So Margaret George b1913 is really Margaret Estelle George. On the Town of Gawler Website, Margaret Estelle George aged 51 from Gawler was buried 15 Dec 1964 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 60 N 3, with Father McLennan officiating (10). I’m fairly satisfied that her middle name of Estelle wasn’t recorded at birth, but it is the same person. Her brother Robert Basil George aged 4 days from Gawler was buried 15 Oct 1914 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 35 P 3, with Father McEvoy officiating (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/george_ellen_claire.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/george_thomas_benjamin_&_margaret.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I511803 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I511762 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I730253 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I730766 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I111903 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/george_margaret_estelle.jpg 10 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34517 11 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32096 378 Reginald William George died aged 59 yrs on 29 Dec 1968; his wife Linda Jean George died aged 83 yrs on 1 July 1994; parents of Fay, Wendy and Brian (1). The Reginald William George Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Gilbert District in 1933 to Linda Jean Wait (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Reginald William George was born on 20 Dec 1909 in Gawler to parents Leslie William George and Ivy Jubilee Mortimer {see Note 376} (3), and Linda Jean Wait was born on 25 Apr 1911 in Gawler to parents Alfred Ernest Wait and Amy Caroline Fischer (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/george_reginald_william_&_linda_jean.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I511732 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I686119 379 Jake Geracitano, son of Nick and Caron, died 14 January 1997 (1). SA Genealogy has no record of his birth, death or funeral. Nothing on my access to SA Cemeteries, not on Saville Index for Advertiser Funerals for 1997; nor on LDS search for Nick Geracitano. Way too recent for Trove searches, so my only recourse is a general Google search. “Jake Geracitano death Gawler 1997” lead to an Ancestry.com websire that says that Jake Geracitano was born and died in 1997. Anything more than that required me to sign in, and no doubt, up (2).
Nothing else of relevance, but as he died 14 January, he could at the most have been 14 days old and still have been born in 1997 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/geracitano_jake.jpg 2 http://www.mundia.com/au/Search/Results?surname=GERACITANO&birthPlace=Australia 380 Edgar Oswald Gersch has a simple white cross with his name and date of death 2-8-96, presumably 1996 (1). The only mention of Edgar Oswald Gersch at GenealogySA is on their Newspaper Death Notices Index which says that there was a death notice in the 1996 Advertiser for Edgar Oswald Gersch (2). There was nothing on GenealogySA or amongst the SA births data on RootsWeb for the birth of Edgar Oswald Gersch. However, an indication of his age came when being tried for theft in 1939: “Fined For Larceny: Before Messrs J Lomman and TJ Hosking in the Unley Court yesterday, Edgar Oswald Gersch, of Young street, North Unley, was charged with having, on May 8, stolen one pair of shoes and an attache case containing cutlery and biscuits, valued in all at 13 [?shillings], the property of George Hubert Watson. Gersch, who pleaded not guilty, was fined £5, with £1 costs. Sergeant Gleeson prosecuted” The Advertiser, Wednesday 10 May 1939 p7 (3). Presumably he was an adult (at least 18 yrs) in 1939, so he must have been born c1921 or earlier. There also is this article about the University of Adelaide Public Examinations Board List of Candidates Who Receive Certificates “..... Gersch, Edgar Oswald, Eg Gno H; ....” The Advertiser, Wednesday 1 February 1939 p27 (4). But there’s nothing here that tells his age or birthday. A search on the World War Two Nominal Roll reveals the Service Record of Edgar Oswald Gersch who was born on 17 Nov 1919 in Horsham Vic and was living in Vectis South when he enlisted on 10 Jun 1941 in Melbourne Vic in the Royal Australian Air Force, citing as Next of Kin Gottlieb Gersch. Aircraftman 1 Gersch was discharged on 13 May 1942 from Armament School Point Cook (5). He had also enlisted in the Australian Army on 10 Mar 1941 with the same personal data as above, and finally Private Gersch was discharged on 12 Dec 1945 from 53 Aust Comp A A Regt Wkshops (6). He was therefore 76 yrs old when he died on 2 Aug 1996 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gersch_edgar_oswald.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30038904?searchTerm=Edgar%20Oswald%20Gersch&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/7307736?zoomLevel=3&&searchTerm=Edgar%20Oswald%20Gersch&searchLimits= 5 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=R&veteranId=889781 6 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=613883 381 On their headstone, Alfred Edward Gertig died aged 82 yrs on 19 Sept 1967, his wife Hilda May died aged 69 yrs on 16 Oct 1966, parents of __, Walter, __, __ etc (1). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery does not give the actual day that Alfred died, but to me, it seems to be the 19th, although admittedly the plethora of flowers in front of the headstone makes reading very difficult, especially (2). The ‘all Gertig’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Alfred Edward Gertig and Hilda May __ shows the birth of 7 children to Edward Alfred Gertig and Hilda May Phillips [1] Ruby May Gertig b1915 in the Kapunda District; [2] Ella Myrtle Gertig b1916 in the Port Gawler District; [3] Walter Edmund Gertig b1918 in the Kapunda District; [4] Ross Alfred Gertig b1920 in the Kapunda District; [5] Gladys Hilda Gertig b1922 in the Barossa District; [6] Roy Leslie Gertig b1923 in the Barossa District; [7] Leonard Ralph Gertig b1924 in the Barossa District (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Alfred Edward Gertig was born as Edward Alfred Gertig on 22 Apr 1885 in Hd of Schomburgk SA to parents Johann Hermann Gertig and Johanne Henriette Pauline Hoffmann (4), and Hilda May Phillips was born on 12 Sep 1897 in Gawler to parents Edmund Phillips and Elizabeth Jacobs (5). On the website relating to the family genealogy of Graeme Moad, Edward Alfred Gertig was born on 22 Apr 1885 Schomburgk SA and died on 19 Sep 1967. His parents were Johann Hermann Heinrich Gertig (9 Nov 1849 - 3 Nov 1917) and Johanne Henriette Pauline Hoffmann (21 Jun 1850 - 6 Jul 1936). Phillips Hilda May was born on 12 Sep 1897 and died on 16 Oct 1966. Her parents were Edmond Phillips (1861 - 12 Oct 1943) and Elizabeth Jacobs (13 Feb 1865 - 12 Jan 1948). Edward Alfred Gertig and Hilda May Phillips were married on 29 Jul 1915, Methodist Church, Gawler, they had the following children [1] Ruby May Gertig (22 Oct 1915 - 28 Apr 2006); [2] Ella Myrtle Gertig (10 Oct 1916 - 1996); [3] Walter Edmund Gertig (24 Mar 1918 - 1989); [4] Ross Alfred Gertig (22 Nov 1920 - 20 Dec 2007); [5] Gladys Hilda Gertig (6 Jun 1922 - 1994); [6] Roy Leslie Gertig (18 May 1923 - 12 Aug 2010); [7] Leonard Ralph Gertig (5 Jul 1924 - 17 Mar 2011) (6). Only the parents are mentioned as being buried in Willaston. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gertig_hilda_may_&_alfred_edward.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I731291 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I180510 6 http://graememoad.com/Family/WC72/WC72_283.HTM 382 AW (Bill) Geue died aged 68 yrs on 4 Aug 1948; his wife Amanda Gertrude Geue died on 24 Aug 195_. The last digit seems tampered with and the 8 is larger than the other numbers (1). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery accepts that she died in 1958 (2), which I’m not arguing at this stage, although it may be 1955, 1956 or even 1953, as well as 1958. The Amanda Gertrude Geue Death Index at GenealogySA says that when she died in Gawler in 1955, the nominated relative was her deceased husband August Wilhelm Geue (3). The Town of Gawler website has the final proof that she died in 1955; it says that Amanda Gertrude Geue aged 66 yrs who last resided at Roseworthy was buried 26 Aug 1955 in a Willaston Cemetery the re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 1 K 4, with Rev Broadbent officiating (4), and just for completeness, August William Geue aged 68 yrs who last resided at Roseworthy was buried on 5 Aug 1948 Willaston Cemetery in Plot/Grave/Niche 1 K 4, with Rev Stubley officiating (5). The ‘all Geue’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of parents August William Geue and Amanda Gertrude __ shows 3 children born to August William (or William August) Geue and Amanda Gertrude (or Gertrude Amanda) Menzel, all born in the Barossa District [1] Frank William Geue b1913; [2] Evelyn Neta Geue b1914; [3] Eric Lloyd Geue b1922 (3). The Frank William Geue headstone shows he was born on 13 April 1913 and died 24 Dec 2003, husband of Joan Mary, father of Glennys and Robert (6), and the Eric Lloyd Geue headstone says that Eric Lloyd (Tim) Geue was born on 15 Feb 1922 and died 17 May 2001; his wife Elsie Florence Geue was born on 16 March 1915 and died on 21 Jan 2008, parents of Helen and Dianne (7). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that August William Geue was born as August Wilhelm Geue on 14 Jun 1880 in Lyndoch SA to parents Friedrich Wilhelm Geue and Elizabeth Marie Schulz (8), and Amanda Gertrude Menzel was born on 5 Aug 1889 in Allandale North SA to parents Johann Heinrich Menzel and Pauline Klose (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/geue_a.w__%28bill%29_&_amanda_gertrude.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33805 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34018

The Ronald Keith Geue Birth Index at Genealogy SA shows he was born in the Barossa District in 1928 to parents Frederick John Geue and Vida Adelaide Wilson in the Barossa District (2), and the Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser since 1972 says that Ronald Keith (Ron) Geue’s funeral notice appeared on 15 Dec 1989 (3), meaning that he died in December 1989. The ‘all Geue’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Frederick John Geue and Vida Adelaide Wilson, shows the birth of 3 sons {up to 1928}, all in the Barossa District: [1] Frederick William Geue b1925; [2] Allen John Geue b1926; [3] Ronald Keith Geue b1928 (2). On their headstone, Vida Adelaide Geue died aged 67 yrs on 9 June 1966, her husband Frederick John (Jack) Geue died aged 84 yrs on 18 April 1972 (4). A search of the SA Births data on website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ronald Keith Geue was born on 23 Sep 1928 in Gawler to parents Frederick John Geue and Vida Adelaide Wilson (5), Frederick John Geue was born Friederich Johannes Geue on 18 Jun 1889 in Lyndoch SA to parents Friederich Wilhelm Geue and Marie Elizabeth Schulz (6), and Vida Adelaide Wilson was born on 13 Jul 1898 in Williamstown SA to parents Harry Norman Wilson and Harriett Hill (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/geue_ronald_keith.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/geue_vida_adelaide_&_frederick_john.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I512360 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I731535 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I396668 384 This headstone which I cannot read from the photo was moved from Gawler’s original cemetery at Pioneer Park (1). A pdf file of people buried in Gawler’s Pioneer Park reveal that in 1859, both James David Gilbert aged 29 years, and Eliza Gilbert aged 17 months, were buried there (2). GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries has a Willaston Cemetery Memorial Inscription for James David Gilbert who died aged 29 years in 1859 which confirms his details above (3). On the Eliza Gilbert Birth Index, Eliza Jane Gilbert was born in 1857 to parents James David Gilbert and Catharine Matilda Gilbert nee Birkin (4). James David Gilbert was born c1830 London, England. He died 16 Nov 1859 at Willaston SA. He arrived in 1856 aboard the Poictiers, and was a storekeeper who first resided Adelaide, then Gawler, then North Adelaide. He belonged to the Congregational Church. He was married c1853 to Catherine Matilda Birkin [her father was Samuel Birkin] who was born April 1822 Peckham Surrey England. She was later remarried to Mr E Gale and died 6 Jan 1908 Bews SA. James David and Catherine’s children were [1] Catherine Eleanor Gilbert born 25 May 1854 Surrey England and died 31 Jul 1925 Tumby Bay SA as Catherine Eleanor Barr; [2] James Alexander Gilbert b1856; [3] Eliza Jane Gilbert born 23 Dec 1857 in Adelaide and died 1859; [4] Rosetta Almedia Gilbert born 12 Sep 1859 at Willaston and died in 1901 as Rosetta Almedia Barr (5). Of interest, here is a notice in the Bunyip, Friday 5 October 1877 p2: “Married. Barr — Gilberts[sic]. On the 27th of September, at the residence of the bride's stepfather, Mr Elisha Gale, of Pinkerton Plains, by Mr J Colbourae (Christian Evangelist), Andrew, eldest son of Mr Robert Barr, of Grace Plains, to Rosetta Almedia, youngest daughter of the late Mr James David Gilberts, of Willaston, South Australia. Glasgow papers please copy” (6) And here is the Catherine Birkin story after James David and Eliza Jane died only 6 months apart in 1859. Catherine Matilda Gilbert nee Birkin was married 27 May 1862 in North Adelaide to Elisha Gale [who was born 19 Aug 1826 Stow, Huntingdonshire England and died 15 Mar 1881 Head of Balaklava SA]. She had two more children with Elisha: [1] Ebenezer Birkin Gale born 15 Jun 1863 Gawler Hills and died 11 Dec 1896 at Mount Ruman SA; [2] Elisha Samuel Gale born 7 Aug 1865 Grove Hill Farm SA and died 11 Apr 1868 at Pinkerton Plains SA (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gilbert_james_david_&_eliza_jane.jpg 2 http://headstones.weebly.com/gawler-old-pioneer-park.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=R2lsYmVydA==&g=SmFtZXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=R2lsYmVydA==&g=RWxpemE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I229708&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97218960?searchTerm=James%20Gilbert&searchLimits= 7 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I148166&tree=SouthAustralia 385 This old headstone notes that George Gilbey died aged 44 yrs on 13 Feb 1920; his wife Sarah Ann Gilbey died on 20 Dec 1961 (1). On the Town of Gawler website, George Gilbey from Gawler South was buried 14 Feb 1920 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 32 M 2, with Rev S Kessell officiating (2), but no age at death was given. The ‘all Gilbey’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of George Gilbey and Sarah Ann __, there are two children born to George Gilbey and Sarah Ann Clark: [1] Alfred Gilbey born 1913 in the Kapunda District; [2] Elsie Dardanella Gilbey born 1916 in the Barossa District (3). A search for George Gilbey on the National Archives of Australia shows in a file was related to WWI service, that he was born in Saffron, Walden, England, and his wife wasSarah Ann Gilbey (4). The World War I Pictorial Honour Roll of South Australians website tells us that Corporal George Gilbey was in the 48th Battalion AIF. He was born on 24 April 1876 at Essex, England, and was the husband of Sarah Ann Gilbey, c/- Willaston Post Office near Gawler SA. He was a farmer prior to enlisting on 06 March 1916 at Adelaide, and embarked on 12 May 1916, serving in France and Belgium. He returned to Australia on 12 August 1918 per 'Gaika' (5). He was thus 43 yrs, in his 44th year, when he died in February 1920. George Gilbey’s death: “Gilbey. On the 13th February, George (late corporal, 48th Battalion AIF), the dearly beloved husband of Sarah Ann Gilbey, at his late residence, Gawler South, aged 44 years. RIP” Chronicle, Saturday 28 February 1920 p27 (6). There was at least another daughter not on GenealogySA website, as instanced in this notice: “Gilbey. In loving memory of our dear father, who passed away at Gawler, February 13, 1920, .... inserted by his loving daughter and son-in-law, Violet, Arthur and family” The Chronicle, Saturday 17 February 1923 p15 (7). Most likely Violet was born prior to the family coming to SA, as there are no records of the birth of either Violet Gilbey or Sarah Ann Clark on GenealogySA or RootsWeb. The Violet Gilbey Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that she married Arthur Rebbeck in 1919 in the Barossa District (8). Son Alfred marries in 1934: “Howell - Gilbey. The marriage of Gweneth Sophie, daughter of Mr and Mrs AL Howell, of Gilberton, to Alfred, son if Mrs Gilbey and the late Mr George Gilbey, will be solemnised at the Nailsworth Church of Christ on Saturday, 22nd September, at 7pm” The Chronicle, Thursday 20 September 1934 p46 (9). A general Google search of George Gilbey and Sarah Ann Clark lead to the “Message Boards” at Ancestry.co.uk where the topic was George and Sarah Ann Gilbey. I’ve summarized the relevant bits. From family records, George and Sarah Ann Gilbey migrated to South Australia in 1913 - but none of
the surviving family members even realised that we had relatives in Australia! The family's details are as follows: George Gilbey born in 1874 Gt Sampford, Essex, England was married to Sarah Ann nee Clark who was born in 1877 York, Yorkshire, England, Their children were [1] William Henry Gilbey b1897 York; [2] Violet Gilbey b1899 York; [3] Alfred Gilbey b1914 Australia; [4] Elsie Dardanella Gilbey b1916 Australia. George and Sarah lived Nth Gawler station. After George died, Sarah Ann Gilbey returned to England for a visit in 1921, along with the three youngest children. Sarah Ann was the daughter of Thomas Clark and Lucy Jane Carman, she married 2 more times after the death of George, and she died in Wollongong in the sixties. I’m not sure about this last information as Sarah Ann is buried as a Gilbey in SA, with no mention on her headstone of several subsequent changes of names (10). On a different website named ‘The Gilbey Family Tree’ on a page for Descendants of Edward Gilby. George Gilbey (son of Philip Gilby and Mary Sorrell) was born in 1876 in Little Sampford, Essex, England. He died on 13 Feb 1920 in Gawler, South Australia, Australia. He married Sarah Ann Clark about Jun 1896 in York, Yorkshire, England. She was born in 1877 in York, Yorkshire, England. George Gilbey and Sarah Ann Clark had the following children [1] William H Gilby was born in 1897 in York, Yorkshire, England. He died in 1920 in Willaston SA; [2] Violet Gilby was born in 1899 in York, Yorkshire, England; [3] Eleanor Gilby was born in 1907 in Hartlepool, Durham, England; [4] Alfred Gilbey was born in 1914 in Australia; [5] Elsie Dardanella Gilbey was born in 1916 in Australia (11). At least we know Sarah Ann Clark was born in 1877, so she was around 84 years old when she died. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gilbey_george_&_sarah_ann.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32379 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=5100051&isAv=N 5 http://sa.ww1anzac.com/gi.html 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87448363?searchTerm=Sarah%20Ann%20George%20Gilbey&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87425879?searchTerm=Sarah%20Ann%20George%20Gilbey&searchLimits= 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=R2lsYmV5&g=VmlvbGV0&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/91078536?searchTerm=Sarah%20Ann%20George%20Gilbey&searchLimits= 10 http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/thread.aspx?m=8034&p=localities.oceania.australia.general&dc=25 11 http://gilbeyfamilytree.wordpress.com/descendant-chart/ 386 Arthur Giles has a solitary and simple headstone noting he died on 14 Jan 1962 (1). Unfortunately this is all we know, and with no middle name given, and it being after the 1954 newspaper cut-off on Trove, as well as having no named relatives to research, it will be hard going. Assuming that the Arthur Giles buried here was born in SA, the Arthur Giles Birth Index at GenealogySA has 10 possibles, although 9 of these have a middle name as well. These are [1] Arthur James Giles b1855, parents James Giles and Eliza Dean in Adelaide; [2] Arthur Clement Giles b1872, parents James Francis Giles and Emma Morriss Ware in Adelaide; [3] Arthur Sydney Giles b1886, parents Edgar Giles and Maude Amey Gliddon in Frome; [4] Arthur Francis Edwin Giles b1894, parents Henry Francis Giles and Katherine Jane Elliot in the Gilbert District; [5] Arthur Giles b1898, parents Walter Giles and Sarah Jane Duell in the Port Gawler District; [6] Arthur William Nelson Giles b1898, parents William Giles and Sarah Jones in the Clare District; [7] Arthur Vernon Giles b1898, parents Ernest Giles and Agnes Craig in the Frome District; [8] Arthur Morgan Giles b1914, mother Emily Cicely Giles, no father cited in the Daly District; [9] Arthur John Giles b1916, to parents Arthur George Giles and Elsie Mary Inkpen in the Hindmarsh District; [10] Arthur Ronald Giles b1922, parents Leonard Holloway Giles and Elsie Elisabeth Samwell in the Upper Wakefield District (2). My immediate inclination is to pick the only one born in SA without a second name, especially as he was born locally. This is [5] Arthur Giles b1898, parents Walter Giles and Sarah Jane Duell in the Port Gawler District. We can try to narrow down this list of 10. [1] Arthur James Giles b1855 is very unlikely to be our Arthur as he would have been 107 yrs old when he died in 1962; The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared (since 1972) in the Advertiser newspaper has funeral notices for [9] Arthur John (Jack) Giles on 8 Nov 1989; [7] Arthur Vernon Giles on 27 Nov 1991; [6] Arthur William Nesson[sic] Giles on 10 June 1992 (3). The Arthur Giles Death Index at GenealogySA can also exclude [8] Arthur Morgan Giles who died in the Daly District in 1914; and an Arthur George Giles who died in Adelaide in 1949, but still leaves amongst some others Arthur Giles who died in Gawler in 1962 (2). The Arthur Giles search on the South Australia Cemeteries Index at GenealogySA shows that the Arthur George Giles who died in 1949 is buried in Brighton North Cemetery; [1] Arthur James Giles died aged 15 yrs in 1871 and is buried in Kensington Clayton Congregational Cemetery; and an Arthur Giles died aged 59 yrs in 1951 and is buried in Clare General Cemetery (2). This leaves only 5 possibles, although 4 of these have a middle name as well. These are [2] Arthur Clement Giles b1872 Adelaide; [3] Arthur Sydney Giles b1886 Frome District; [4] Arthur Francis Edwin Giles b1894 Gilbert District; [5] Arthur Giles b1898 Port Gawler District; [10] Arthur Ronald Giles b1922 Upper Wakefield District; and I cannot narrow it down from here. According to information on the LDS website, Walter Giles was born on 23 Aug 1860 at Evanston SA to parents James Giles (born abt 1825 Somerset, England, died 13 Jul 1903 Evanston) and Mary Ann Cook (born 1812 England, died 21 Nov 1901 Gawler Plains SA). Walter Giles was married aged 35 yrs on 4 Dec 1895 in Gawler to Sarah Jane Duell aged 27 yrs (born 26 May 1868 Murray Scrub SA). The children of Walter Giles and Sarah Jane Duell, all born in Evanston, were [1] Charles Walter Giles born 12 May 1896; [2] Arthur Giles born 15 Jan 1898; [3] Harrold James Giles born 16 Apr 1900; [4] Percy John Giles born 4 Aug 1903; [5] Living Giles (4). According to the website “Giles Family History” hosted by RootsWeb, the last child was [5] Ada Janet Giles born 16 January 1906 (5). However, this doesn’t prove that the Arthur Giles buried here was the same Arthur Giles, it needs his age at death, or date of birth to be sure enough to fill in the line 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/giles_arthur.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I25002&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jkstokes/giles.htm 387 Emily May Giles died {no age given} on 20 Oct 1949 {our dear sister}; Mary Elizabeth Giles died aged 77 yrs on 5 May 1955 (1), maybe they were sisters or sisters-in-law. The Emily May Giles Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that she was born in 1880 in the Port Gawler District to parents Joshua Giles and Annie Maria Emerson (2), so widening the search to the ‘all Giles’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Joshua Giles and Annie Maria Emerson shows possibly 7 daughters, all born in the Port Gawler District, to parents Joshua Giles and Annie {aka Anna, Ann, Anne} Maria Emerson [1] Eliza Ann Giles b1876; [2] Edna Giles b1876; [3] Mary Elizabeth Giles b1877; [4] Helena Giles b1879; [5] Emily May Giles b1880; (2). There are also 2 daughters, most likely twins, born in 1882 to Annie Maria Emerson and ‘George’ Giles in the Port Gawler District [6] Hester Giles b1882; [7] Esther Giles b1882 (2). The headstone for Ann Maria Giles says she died aged 73 yrs on 29 Sept 1925; her husband Joshua Giles died aged 75 yrs on 25 Oct 1928 (3), and the headstone for Eliza Ann Giles says she died aged 77 yrs on 9 April 1954; her daughter Mildred May Giles died aged 79 yrs on 4 June 1978, and her son Cecil Wilfred Taplin Giles died aged 81 yrs on 23 Dec 1993 (4). Was Eliza Ann Giles an unmarried mother, or is there a second Eliza Ann __ who
married a Mr __ Giles? The Mildred May Giles Birth Index at GenealogySA shows her birth in the Port Gawler District in 1898 to parents Henry Lorhmane and Liza Ann Giles (2), and the Cecil Wilfred Taplin Giles Birth Index shows that in Adelaide in 1912, he was born to father “Null” and mother Eliza Ann Giles (2). One wonders whether father’s name was a Mr Taplin. There is no Eliza Ann Giles Marriage Index at GenealogySA. “Arrival of the Earl Dalhousie: The Earl Dalhousie, with a large number of immigrants, arrived on Tuesday morning. The following is a list of those who have come out by this vessel: .... Single Males: Joshua Giles, agricultural laborer; ......” South Australian Chronicle and Weekly Mail (Adelaide), Saturday 27 February 1875 p6 (5). The Joshua Giles Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Munno Para East District in 1875, he married Ann Maria Emerson (2), the same year that he arrived in SA. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Cecil Wilfred Taplin Giles was born on 27 Jun 1912 in Adelaide to father unrecorded and Eliza Ann Giles (6), Eliza Ann Giles was born on 14 Apr 1876 in Uley Bury SA to parents Joshua Giles and Anna Maria Emerson (7), Emily May Giles was born on 15 Dec 1880 in Smithfield SA to parents Joshua Giles and Annie Maria Emerson (8), Mary Elizabeth Giles was born on 5 Aug 1877 in One Tree Hill SA to parents Joshua Giles and Ann Maria Emerson (9), and Mildred May Giles was born on 6 Nov 1898 at Gawler Plains (now Smithfield) to parents Henry Lorhmane and Liza Ann Giles (10), but there are no records for Ann Maria Emerson born c1852 and naturally none for Joshua born c1853 in the UK. Ann Maria Giles death “Giles: On September 29, at Homestead Blocks, Gawler, Ann Maria, the beloved wife of Joshua Giles, aged 73 years; leaving seven daughters” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 2 October 1925 p4 (11).

Three weeks later: “Deaths: Gill: On June 16, at Orroroo Hospital, Barry Richard, dearly loved infant son of Len and Lucy Gill, of Blinman, aged three weeks. ...” The Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 22 June 1944 p11 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Leonard Stanley Gill was born on 25 Jun 1912 in Blinman SA to parents Alfred Gill and Annabell Morrison (4), and Lucy Margaret Anesbury was born on 28 May 1901 in Carrieton SA to parents George Anesbury and Ada Green (5). The ‘all Gill’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Alfred Gill and Annabell Morrison shows 11 children were born, all in the Frome District to Alfred Gill {once gave a middle name George, but 10 times didn’t} and Anna Bella {or Anna Bell 5 times, Annabell 3 times, Hannah once and Hannah Bell once} Morrison {once Morison}; most commonly known as Alfred Gill and Anna Bell Morrison [1] Mary Jane Gill b1892; [2] Emy Elizabeth Gill b1893; [3] Alfred Roy Gill b1898; [4] Grace May Gill b1900; [5] Elsie Florence Gill b1901; [6] James Henry Gill b1903; [7] John William Gill b1907; [8] Myrtle Ellen Gill b1909; [9] Leonard Stanley Gill b1912; [10] “Null” Gill b1916 {presumably only briefly lived}; [11] Daisy Lily Gill b1918 (6), but no siblings of Leonard Stanley Gill are noted on the “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gill_lucy_margaret_&_leonard_stanley.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92712843?searchTerm=Lucy%20Len%20Gill&searchLimits= 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/8692804?zoomLevel=3&searchTerm=Lucy%20Len%20Gill&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I513718 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I11536 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 389 Catherine Gill died aged 40 yrs on 23 Feb 1886, wife of John Henry Gill; John Allan Gill died aged 7 mths on 2 Feb 1879; Henry Angus Gill died aged 5 mths on 5 Jan 1886; Mary Ann Gill died aged 16 yrs on 12 Dec 1886; Christina Gill died aged 14 yrs on 28 Nov 1890; Elizabeth Gill died aged 19 yrs on 17 May 1891; William Alexander Gill died aged 19 yrs on 9 April 1893 (1). The LDS website tells us that John Henry Gill was born on 17 Nov 1848 at Tam O'Shanter Belt SA (parents William GIll and Mary Pope), and died on 17 Aug 1908 nr Willaston. He was a farmer who’d lived at Roseworthy and Mt Rufus. He was married 7 Apr 1869 at Finniss Point SA to Catherine McPherson (born 1845, died 23 Feb 1886 Roseworthy). The children of John Henry Gill and Catherine McPherson included [1] Mary Ann Gill born 20 Feb 1870 Finniss Point, died 1886; [2] Elizabeth Gill born 1872, died 1891; [3] William Alexander Gill b. 27 Aug 1873 Navan SA, died 9 Apr 1893 nr Willaston; [4] Christiana Gill born 6 May 1877 Tarlee SA, died 28 Nov 1890 Roseworthy; [5] John Allan Gill born 6 Aug 1878 SA, died 2 Feb 1879 Tarlee SA; [6] Catherine Gill born 8 Dec 1879 Tarlee; [7] Priscilla Jane Gill born 9 Mar 1882 Hamley Bridge SA, died 9 Dec 1907 Gawler; [8] Florence Adelaide Pope Gill born 26 Mar 1884 Roseworthy; [9] Henry Angus Gill born 2 Aug 1885 Roseworthy, died 5 Jan 1886 Roseworthy. After Catherine McPherson died in 1886, John Henry Gill was again married, on 22 Feb 1891 at Para Para, Gawler this time to Louisa Caroline Miles (born 1852) (2). Further information at the LDS website about the family of John Henry Gill and Catherine McPherson [6] Catherine Gill was born on 8 Dec 1879 in Tarlee, and was married on 18 Dec 1902 in Gawler to Alexander Robinson; [7] Priscilla Jane Gill was married on 8 Jul 1901 in Gawler to Frank William Riggs; [8] Florence Adelaide Pope Gill was married on 17 Apr 1913 in Port Adelaide to Johann August Bartel (3). Still on the LDS website, Louisa Caroline Miles was born in 1852 and had previously been married to a Mr Stow, so she was Mrs Louisa Caroline Gill formerly Stow nee Miles (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Elizabeth Gill was born on 27 Feb 1872 in Mount Rufus,
near Truro SA to parents John Henry Gill and Catharine[sic] McPherson (5). The Catherine Gill who is buried in Willaston is not the daughter of John Henry Gill and Catherine McPherson, who became Mrs Catherine Robinson nee Gill. We must seeking a third Catherine Gill. John Henry Gill’s father was noted above as William Gill, and so back on the LDS website, we find that William Gill was born in 1829 in Barnstaple, Devon, England, died on 7 Apr 1877 Finniss Point nr Navan SA and is buried at Tarlee. He arrived in SA in 1847 aboard the Cressy and was a farmer at Finniss Point. William Gill was married aged 23 yrs on 18 Jan 1853 in Adelaide to Sarah Gale aged 19 yrs (born 1833, England, died 24 Apr 1898 Tarlee). The children of William Gill and Sarah Gale were [1] John Henry Gill born 20 Jul 1857 River Gilbert SA; [2] Harriet Jane Rebecca Gill born 26 Feb 1862 on the Gilbert; [3] Elizabeth Mary Gill born 5 Oct 1863 River Gilbert; [4] Christopher Gill born 17 Dec 1866 nr Navan; [5] Priscilla Ann Gill born 23 Dec 1868 Angle Grove; [6] Samuel Gill born 7 Mar 1872 nr Navan; [7] Thomas Charles Gill born 1 Mar 1874 nr Navan; [8] Richard Gilbert Gill born 19 Dec 1876 nr Navan, died 28 May 1882 Navan (6). Still on the LDS website, there is more information about the family of William Gill and Sarah Gale. We know about John Henry Gill, but now we focus on his younger brother Christopher Gill, who was born on 17 Dec 1866 nr Navan, and married on 6 Aug 1890 at Tarlee to Catherine Quinn (7), who was born in 1870 to father Joseph Quinn. The children of Christopher Gill and Catherine Quinn were [1] Percy Henwood Gilbert Clarence Gill born 19 Apr 1891 Tarlee; [2] Melville Linsley Roy Gill born 21 Mar 1894 Tarlee; [3] Doris Hilda Millicent Gill born 25 Dec 1900 nr Willaston (8). On a website dedicated to the “Descendants of William Gill & Mary Pope”, Christopher Gill was born on 17 Dec 1866 near Navan SA , died in Sep 1943 in Gawler SA, and was buried on 28 Sep 1943 in Willaston Cemetery SA. Christopher married Catherine Quinn, daughter of Joseph Quinn and Johanna Ryan, on 6 Aug 1890 in Wesleyan Church, Tarlee, Dist of Gilbert. Catherine Quinn was born on 14 Mar 1871 in SA Hamilton, Dist of Kapunda, died in Nov 1946 in Gawler SA, and was buried on 7 Nov 1946 in Willaston Cemetery SA. Children from this marriage were: [1] Percy Henwood Gilbert Clarence Gill was born on 19 Apr 1891 in Tarlee, Dist of Gilbert SA, died on 4 Sep 1987 in SA, and was buried on 14 Sep 1987 in SA Renmark [RC Sec/18]. Percy married Dulcie Evanston Wingate on 10 Dec 1921 in Sal.Army Hall Gawler, Dist. of Barossa. Dulcie was born about 1897, died in 1968 in SA Renmark, and was buried on 13 May 1968 in SA Renmark; [2] Melville Linsley Roy Gill was born on 21 Mar 1894 in Tarlee, SA, died in 1978, and was buried on 10 Nov 1978 in Renmark; [3] Doris Hilda Millicent Gill was born on 25 Dec 1900 in Tarlee, died in 1967 in Gawler, and was buried on 1 Jun 1967 in Willaston Cemetery [Plot 13 DD 2]. Doris married Theodore Carl Roesler, son of Johann Frederick Paul Roesler and Unknown, on 6 Jul 1929 in Methodist Church West Gawler. Theodore was born on 8 Sep 1896 in Lyndoch, died in 1974 in Gawler, and was buried on 20 Jun 1974 in Willaston Cemetery. Interestingly, this same website also gives more information about John Henry Gill and his second wife Louisa Caroline Miles-Stow, who was the daughter of Charles Miles and Eleweazer Hughes, born about 1853. There were 4 further children from this marriage [1] Samuel Christopher Frederick Gill born on 9 Jan 1892 in Roseworthy SA, Dist of Barossa, died in Aug 1968, and buried on 15 Aug 1968; [2] Alfred Miles Gill born on 6 Jun 1893 in Willaston, married Alma Violet Cranna on 13 May 1926 in Brighton, Dist of Adelaide [St Jude's Church]; [3] Mary Victoria Isabel Gill born on 27 May 1895 in Willaston, died in Jan 1896 in Gawler SA Belt, and buried on 23 Jan 1896 in Willaston Cemetery [Plot 26 C 1]; [4] Louisa Gill as born on 3 Jan 1898 in Willaston, died on 13 Feb 1899 in Miles Crossing, Dist of Barossa, and buried on 14 Feb 1899 in Willaston Cemetery [Plot 26 C 1] (9). The only thing still missing is Catherine McPherson’s exact date of birth we have as c1845. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/eg/gill_catherine,_john_allan,_henry_angus,_mary_ann,_christina,_elizabeth_&_william_alexander.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I145411&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F43516&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I262835&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I733641 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I129769&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F37935&tree=SouthAustralia 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I145430&tree=SouthAustralia
9 http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kenshe/gillpope/d1.htm#i24 390 The headstone simply reads Andrew James Ginaldi died 22 June 1959 (1). The ‘all Ginaldi’ Death Index at GenealogySA (the only entry in any category) shows that Andrea James Ginaldi died in 1959 in Gawler, but no relative was nominated (2). On the Town of Gawler website, Andrea James Ginaldi aged 78 years from Fifth Street, Gawler was buried 23 June 1959 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 15 F 3, with Father Daly officiating (3). A search for Andrew Ginaldi on the National Archives of Australia website tells us that Andrew James Ginaldi was actually Andrea Gicomo Panizza born on 29 April 1881 in Italy and from 1939 had an Australian Government file relating to his naturalization (4). There is not much information to be found on searching old newspaper articles using the Trove website. “Serious Assault: Accused Fined. Before Dr T Hewitson SM, in the Adelaide Police Court on Friday, Francis Crawford, a well-set up young man, was charged with having assaulted James Andrew Ginaldi on .December 16. Mr EJ Hogan appeared for the defendant, and Mr GT Gun represented the complainant. The complainant said that the defendant came up to him while he was talking to a friend in Currie street, and said. "Don't make so much noise, we are doing a little betting." Complainant replied,"If you want to do some betting, go and do it." Defendant then offered to fight him. Complainant replied, "I am not a fighter. I am a working man.'' Defendant then struck him several times. Richard Green gave corrobative evidence. He said the defendant was covered with blood. Dr Albert Ray Southwood said that the comlainant consulted him on December 18. He was in rather a battered condition. He had had several bad contusions on his cheeks. The inside of his mouth was deeply lacerated. In his estimation the injuries were the result of about four heavy blows. The defendant, who gave his occupation as a laborer, said on the day in question he saw the complainant coming from the direction of the Duke of York Hotel. He was very excited, and appeared to be drunk. He told him to cut it out or he would be arrested. Complainant replied. "I don't want to be talked to by an Aboriginal b__,” and caught hold of his coat. He was obliged to strike. He did not follow the complainant up. He admitted the assault, but he was crossly insulted on a very sensitive point. His Honor imposed a fine of 15/- owing to the provocation. The costs allowed against the defendant amounted to £3/ 2/6” Daily Herald (Adelaide), Saturday 6 January 1923 p3 (5), and 19 years later: “I, Andrea Gicomo Panizza (known as Andrew James Ginaldi) of Italian nationality, born at Cologna, Lombardy, Italy, and resident 33 years in Australia, now residing at Gawler, South Australia, intend to apply for Naturalization under the Nationality Act, 1920-1936” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Wednesday 19 April 1944 p8 (6). “For Sale: 200 California paper-shell almond trees, JA Ginaldi, 18th Street, Gawler South” Bunyip, Friday 22 July 1949 p4 (7).

Ernest Gleed does not register on the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, and the input of first names “Joan Elizabeth Rosa” did not elicit any SA births with this combination of first names. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices in the Advertiser has the funeral notice of Ernest Gleed on 20 July 2013 (2). There are no GenealogySA records for Ernest Gleed, so I cannot find Joan’s maiden name this way. A search for Joan Ernest Gleed on Trove was unhelpful, as was a Bunyip search for Gleed in the years before mid1950s. On the World War Two Nominal Roll there are two mentions [1] Ernest Gleed was born on 7 Sep 1915 in Stroud, England and was living in Mackay Qld when he enlisted on the 6 Jul 1942 in Brisbane Qld in the Royal Australian Air Force, citing as next of kin Dorothy Gleed. Leading Aircraftman Gleed was discharged on 21 Jan 1946 from 3 Aircraft Depot (3); [2] Ernest Robert Gleed was born on 5 Feb 1923 at Mount Barker WA and was living in Geraldton WA when he enlisted on 1 Oct 1943 in the Australian Army, citing as next of kin Ernest Gleed. Private Gleed was discharged on 12 Apr 1946 from 2/1 Aust Base Workshops (4). Unfortunately this has not helped us in the quest for information on Mrs Gleed, we haven’t found her age at death, nor her date of birth 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gleed_joan_elizabeth_rosa.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=R&veteranId=921936 4 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=774427 This old headstone says TH Glendinning died aged 84 yrs on 5 July 1919; Elizabeth Glendinning died aged 89 yrs on 26 March 1920 (1). The ‘T Glendinning’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA says that Thomas Henry Glendinning was married in 1879 in Adelaide to Elizabeth McNeilage (2). The ‘all Glendinning” Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Thomas Henry Glendinning and Elizabeth McNeilage shows they had no children, at least none recorded, not surprising as both were well into their 40s when they married. “Marriages: Glendinning—McNeilage: On the 19th September, at Flinders-street Baptist Church, by the Rev S Mead AM, Thomas Henry Glendinning, of Narridy, to Elizabeth McNeilage, of Adelaide, relict of the late Robert McNeilage, daughter of the late William Simmons, of the Reedbeds” South Australian Register, Saturday 20 September 1879 p4 (3). The Robert McNeilage Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in Adelaide in 1854, he was married to Elizabeth Simmons (2), but there are no recorded issue of that union either. However, the exact dates of birth of Thomas Henry Glendinning and Elizabeth Glendinning formerly McNeilage nee Simmons elude us. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/glendenning_t.h._&_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43095215?searchTerm=Glendinning%20McNeilage&searchLimits= Mary Ann Polly Clode died on 9 July 1946, wife of WJ Clode (1), but with no age at death given. The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has called her Mary Ann Polly Glode (2), but it seems more like her surname starts with a “C”. The ‘all Clode’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1908 William John Clode was married to Mary Ann Towning (3). “Marriages: Clode—Towning: On the 5th October, by the Rev ES Tuckwell BA, at the residence of the bride's father, William John, eldest son of John Clode, Barossa, to Mary A (Polly), second daughter of William Towning, Bridge-street, Gawler West” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 24 October 1908 p33 (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Mary Ann Towning was born on 5 Mar 1863 at Gawler Belt SA to parents William Towning {born abt 1839} and Hannah Scriven {born abt 1839}, both having arrived in SA on 28 Jan 1859 aboard the North from Liverpool (5). All this information and the fact that there is very little about the Glode family name on GenealogySA or on Trove searchings, leads me to believe that the surname is definitely Clode, not Glode, especially as the death notice shows that Mary Ann (Polly) Clode died the exact same day as the Mary Ann (Polly) ‘Glode’ listed on the “G” data page (2) “Deaths: Clode: On July 9th, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Mary Ann (Polly), beloved wife of William John Clode, of 82 Adelaide Road, Gawler South” Bunyip, Friday 12 July 1946 p5 (6). See entry for William John Clode, discussed in Note 808, and some other Clodes at Note 773 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/glode_mary_ann_polly.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88304400 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I160936 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96844135?searchTerm=clode%20mary%20ann&searchLimits= Private FG Goldney (late of Veterinary Hospital) died aged 59 yrs on 27-06-1954, son of Margaret and George Goldney of Gawler River (1). William Goldney died aged 20 yrs on 23 March 1907, eldest son of G & M Goldney; his parents Margaret Goldney died aged 65 yrs on 3 March 1930; George Goldney died aged 79 yrs on 14 Jan 1937 (2). I have had to rely on the information supplied on the “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (3), because William Goldney’s year of death is illegible, and George Goldney’s looks more like 1987 to me, although that would not make sense for someone born c1857. The all Goldney Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of George Goldney and Margaret __ reveals 8 children, all born in the Port Gawler District, [1] Lilly May Goldney b1883 to parents George Goldney and Margaret McQlnen; [2] Mary Annie Goldney b1885 to parents George Goldney and Margret McQuillan; [3] William Harrold Leonard Goldney b1887 to parents Margaret George Goldney and Margaret McQuillen; [4] Cecial Percey Goldney b1890 to parents George Goldney and Margret McQuillan; [5] Lucy Nellie Goldney b1892 to parents Margaret George Goldney and Margaret McQuillin; [6] Frances George Goldney b1895 to parents Margaret George Goldney and Margaret McQuillen; [7] Alice Eva Goldney b1899 to parents George Goldney and Margret Josephine McQuillan; [8] Edward Arthur Goldney b1901 to parents Margaret George Goldney and Margaret McQuillen (4). Note the various spellings of the maternal maiden name. So the FG Goldney calculated to be born in 1895 is the 6th child, Frances George Goldney born 1895. The Edward Arthur Goldney headstone says he died aged 88 yrs on 23 Aug 1989 (5), the 8th child of George and Margaret. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Edward Arthur Goldney was born on 28 Mar 1901 in Gawler to parents George Goldney and Margaret McQuillen (6), Frances George Goldney was born on 8 Apr 1895 in Gawler to the same parents George Goldney and Margaret McQuillen (7), William Harrold Leonard Goldney was born on 13 Aug 1887 in Gawler again to the same parents George Goldney and Margaret McQuillen (8), and Cecil Percy Goldney was born as Cecial Percey Goldney on 29 Jan 1890 in Gawler to parents George Goldney and Margret McQuillan (9). On their headstone Alice Eva Goldney died aged 72 yrs on 21 Aug 1971; Cecil Percy Goldney died aged 84 yrs on 9 April 1975 (10).
This is no married couple, as there is no Cecil Percy Goldney Marriage Index at GenealogySA. Cecil Percy had a sister named Alice Eva Goldney b1899, which fits the dates on the headstone. Back on RootsWeb, Alice Eva Goldney was born on 9 Mar 1899 in Gawler to parents George Goldney and Margret Josephine McQuillan (11), and George Goldney was born on 4 Aug 1857 near Gawler to parents Henry Goldney and Mary Ann Duke (12), but the birth of Margaret McQuillen poses more of a problem. This is explained by the fact that she wasn’t born in Australia: “Mrs. Goldney, wife of Mr George Goldney, who died at her residence, Edge Hill, Gawler River, on March 3, arrived in the ship Oaklands in 1864 at the age of 14 years. After spending four years at Balaklava she married, and her life afterwards for 47 years was spent in Gawler. Besides her husband she leaves seven children —Sister Goldney (Norwood), Mrs JV Forward (Magill), Mrs Barr Oakey (Hamley Bridge), Miss Alice Goldney (Gawler River), Messrs Cecil, Frank, and Ted Goldney (Gawler)” The Advertiser, Monday 17 March 1930 p17 (13). But this cannot be correct as by my calculation, if she was 65yrs in 1930, she would have been born in 18641865, not aged 14 yrs. The Town of Gawler website says that Margaret Josephene Goldney nee McQuillen aged 66 who last resided in Gawler was buried 3 March 1930 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 15 O 2, with Rev IP Wood officiating (14). But we will have to leave Mrs Margaret Goldney’s precise date of birth a mystery. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goldney_f.g..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goldney_william,_margaret_&_george.jpg 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goldney_edward_arthur.jpg 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I725738 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I736470 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I736802 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I736780 10 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goldney_alice_eva_&_cecil_percy.jpg 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I736775 12 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I736474 13 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29015867?searchTerm=margaret%20goldney&searchLimits= 14 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32937 395 Florence M Goldney died on 13 July 1953; her sister Angeline McPherson died aged 78 years on 29 March 1934 (1). We learned in Note 394 that George Goldney was born on 4 Aug 1857 near Gawler to parents Henry Goldney and Mary Ann Duke. The ‘all Goldney’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking all offspring of Henry Goldney and Mary Ann Duke reveals that there were at least 14 children born to this couple, including an Angelina Goldney and a Margaret Florence Goldney. The list of known children of Henry Goldney and Mary Ann Duke comprises [1] Jessie Maria Goldney b1849 in Adelaide; [2] Sarah Isabella Goldney b1852 in Adelaide; [3] William Henry Goldney b1850 in Adelaide; [4] Ellen Lucy Goldney b1854 in Adelaide; [5] Angelina Goldney b1855 in the Munno Para West District; [6] George Goldney b1857 in Adelaide; [7] Henry Frederick Goldney b1859 in the Port Gawler District; [8] Clara Duke Goldney b1861 in Adelaide; [9] Mary Ann Goldney b1863 in Adelaide; [10] Fanny Goldney 1865 in Adelaide; [11] Margaret Florence Goldney b1866 in Adelaide; [12] Alfred Arthur Burton Goldney b1868 in Adelaide; [13] Philip Harrow Goldney b1870 in the Port Gawler District; [14] Nina Eliza Goldney b1873 in the Port Gawler District (2). On their headstone, Henry Goldney died aged 81 on 20 Sep 1906. His wife Mary Ann Goldney died aged 72 on 18 March 1903, and their son Philip Harrow Goldney died 25 December 1897 (3). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Philip listed with the surname Harrow (4), but Harrow is his middle name, not his surname (5). The Philip Harrow should be corrected and moved to the “G” page. On the LDS website, Henry Fonteroy Goldney was born 1 May 1824 Wandsworth, Surrey, England, died 20 Sep 1906 Gawler River SA and is buried in Willaston Cemetery. Henry’s parents were William Goldney (born 12 Dec 1779 Bromham, Wiltshire, England and died 1 Oct 1858, Gawler River) and Anna Maria Harrow (born 1782 Wandsworth, Surrey, England and died 18 Nov 1858 Adelaide), who had married 13 Dec 1812 Richmond, Surrey, England. Henry’s family arrived in SA in 1840 aboard the Fairlie. Henry’s occupation was a grocer and farmer, residing in Gawler. On 19 July 1848 in Adelaide SA he married Mary Ann Duke, who was born in 1831 Durham, Northumberland, England to parents George Duke and Sarah Burton, and she died on 18 Mar 1903 Gawler Plains SA. The children of Henry Fonteroy Goldney and Mary Ann Duke were [1] Jessie Maria Goldney born 6 Aug 1849 Gawler; [2] William Henry Goldney born 5 Oct 1850 Yatala SA and died 1 Oct 1924 SA; [3] Sarah Isabella Day nee Goldney born 30 Aug 1852 North Adelaide and died 1925; [4] Ellen Lucy Hay nee Goldney born 24 Apr 1854 Gawler; [5] Angelina McPherson nee Goldney born 10 Nov 1855, Adelaide and died 1934; [6] George Goldney born 4 Aug 1857 nr Gawler and died 1937; [7] Henry Frederick Goldney born 27 Jul 1859 Gawler River and died 1933; [8] Clara Duke Heylen nee Goldney born 26 May 1861 Gawler River, died 12 Jan 1941 Malvern SA; [9] Mary Ann Bigg nee Goldney b 7 Mar 1863 Gawler River, died 1957; [10] Fanny Goldney born 21 Jan 1865 Gawler River, died 22 Nov 1865 Gawler River; [11] Margaret Florence Goldney born 15 Aug 1866 Gawler River, died 1953; [12] Alfred Arthur Burton Goldney born 17 Jun 1868 Gawler River, died 9 Aug 1954 SA; [13] Philip Harrow Goldney b 20 Oct 1870 Gawler River, died 25 Dec 1897 Head of Dalkey SA; [14] Nina Eliza Greaves nee Goldney born 22 Jul 1873 Gawler River, died 1958 (6). Margaret Florence Goldney aged 88 yrs who last resided in Gawler was buried 14 July 1953 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 25 H 2, with Rev Bleby officiating (7). So the Florence M is actually Margaret F, ie Margaret Florence Goldney. The precise birth date of Mary Ann Duke remains merely 1831. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goldney_florence.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goldney_henry_&_mary_ann.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harrow_philip.jpg 6 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I133207&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33653 396 Lance Sergeant C Goldsworthy died aged 63 yrs on 28 July 1950, husband of Georgina (1). On the Gawler World War One Honour Roll, Charles Goldsworthy of the 27th Battalion was born on 12 Sept 1885 in Adelaide to parents John Henry Goldsworthy and Kezia Sampson. He was a baker living in Adelaide Rd, Gawler when he enlisted on 20 Sept 1916 in Adelaide, citing as his next of kin his wife Mrs Rachel Georgina Goldsworthy. He embarked for overseas 6 Nov 1916 from Adelaide aboard HMAT "Afric". After serving in France, he returned to Australia on 27 Aug 1919 aboard the HT "Persic", and was discharged on 4 Oct 1919. Charles Goldsworthy died on 28 July 1950, and is buried in Willaston Cemetery. The Advertiser 29 July 1950 noted that on July 28, at Hutchinson Hospital, Charles beloved
husband of Georgina Goldsworthy of 40 Fourteenth street, Gawler West, [died] in his 65th year (2). On her headstone, Rachel Georgina Goldsworthy died aged 73 yrs on 10 Sept 1968, “Re-united with Charles” (3). On the ‘C Goldsworthy’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA Charles Goldsworthy was married in 1913 to Rachel Georgina Phillips in Adelaide (4). The ‘all Goldsworthy’ Birth Index seeking offspring of John Henry Goldsworthy and Kezia Sampson shows the births of 8 children, the first 3 in the Daly District, the last 5 all in Adelaide [1] Maria Goldsworthy b1874; [2] Jane Goldsworthy b1876; [3] Lilly Goldsworthy b1878; [4] Stephen Goldsworthy b1880; [5] Benjamin Goldsworthy b1883; [6] Charles Goldsworthy b1885; [7] Rose Goldsworthy b1887; [8] Bessie Goldsworthy b1889 (4). The ‘all Goldsworthy’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Charles Goldsworthy and Rachel Georgina Phillips shows the birth of 6 children (up to the 1928 cut-off for genealogy sites): [1] Eileen Irene Goldsworthy b1914 in the Daly District; [2] Lilian May Goldsworthy b1916 in the Hindmarsh District; [3] Charles Clifford Goldsworthy b1920 in the Port Gawler District; [4] Raymond Melville Goldsworthy b1922 in the Port Gawler District; [5] Lorna Rose Goldsworthy b1925 in the Port Gawler District; [6] Arnold Keith Goldsworthy b1927 in the Port Gawler District (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Rachel Georgina Phillips was born as Rachel Georgena[sic] Phillips on 5 Jan 1895 in Gawler to parents Edmund Phillips and Elizabeth Jacobs (5), and Charles Goldsworthy was born on 12 Sep 1885 in Adelaide to parents John Henry Goldsworthy and Kezia Sampson (6), confirming the data from his war service record. 12 Sep 1885 in Adelaide to parents John Henry Goldsworthy and Kezia Sampson (6), confirming the data from his war service record. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goldsworthy_c.jpg 2 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/g.html 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goldsworthy_rachel_georgina.jpg 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I180821 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I737011 397 Len Goldsworthy died aged 64 yrs on 28 Nov 1975, his wife Lill Goldsworthy died aged 80 yrs on 27 April 1995, parents of _lva, Trevor and Sa__, the names being obscured by arrangements of flowers that could have been moved for the photo (1). The Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper says that Leonard Nelson Goldsworthy’s notice appeared on 29 Nov 1975, and the one for Lillian May Goldsworthy appeared on 29 April 1995 (2). The Leonard Goldsworthy Birth Index at GenealogySA says he was born in 1911 to parents Spencer Charles Goldsworthy and Nellie Gertrude Kaye in the Norwood District (3). There was a Lilian[sic] May Goldsworthy born in 1916 discussed in Note 397, but she is slightly young to be this Lillian May Goldsworthy, and it is unlikely {but not impossible} to have 2 Goldsworthys marry. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Leonard Nelson Goldsworthy was born on 30 Oct 1911 in Hackney, Adelaide to parents Spencer Charles Goldsworthy and Nellie Gertrude Kaye (4). The Spencer Charles Godsworthy Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in 1889 in the Norwood District to parents Charles Nelson Goldsworthy and Eliza Jane Gelding (3). On an Ancestry.com Message Boards > Localities > Oceania > Australia > South Australia > General > “Kaye's in South Australia” says that Arthur Kaye, who died aged 71 yrs on 29 Nov 1929 Unley SA was married to Alice Lidington, who died aged 66 yrs on 31 July 1934 Unley SA.

Not only did Leonard Goldsworthy have a distant cousin Lillian May Goldsworthy, he also had an aunt Lily May Goldsworthy. But despite many searches I haven’t been able to find the maidenname or date of birth of Lill Goldsworthy, wife of Len 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goldsworthy_len_&_lill.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I515644 5 http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.oceania.australia.sa.general/2946.6/mb.ashx 398 This Goodger headstone is quite hard to read from the photo. Clifford Roy Goodger died aged 69 years on 19 May 1964?84?. He was the husband of Gladys May Goodger and ?parent? of Enid Hallstrom. Gladys May Goodger died aged 64 yrs on 21 April 1966?65?55 (1). William Goodger’s headstone, shared with his wife, is also hard to read. William Goodger died aged ?68 yrs? In May 1934 and Susan A Goodger died aged 78 yrs on 4 August 1928? 1938? (2). According to data on the LDS website, Clifford Roy Goodger was born 5 Dec 1894 at Gawler River to parents William Goodger and Susan Adams Pederick (3). Still using the LDS data, William Goodger was born 28 Oct 1866 Gawler River to parents William Parker Goodger and Emily Hannah Lillywhite. Susan Adams Pederick was born 22 Feb 1860 Port Gawler to parents William Henry Pederick and Anna Benny Chivell. William Goodger and Susan Adams Pederick married on 21 Feb 1889 in Port Gawler, and their children included [1] Emily Rose Goodger born 28 Oct 1889 Gawler River, and married Ezekiel Norman Murray Good on 4 Sep 1912 Gawler River; [2] Clifford Roy Goodger born 5 Dec 1894 Gawler River; [3] Elliott Chivell Goodger born 7 Mar 1897 Gawler River; [4] Percy Gilbert Goodger born 19 May 1903 Wards Belt SA and died 26 Feb 1904 Gawler River; [5] Olivia May Goodger born 19 May 1903 Wards Belt (4). Susan Adams Goodger died aged 78 yrs in 1938: “Goodger: On the 4th of August, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Susan Adams, widow of William Goodger, of Gawler, and formerly of Gawler River, aged 78 years” The Advertiser Friday 5 August 1938 p16 (5), not in 1928 as appears on the “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (6). The Clifford Goodger Marriage Index at GenealogySA reveals that Clifford Roy Goodger was married in 1924 to Gladys May Mallyon (7). The Gladys Mallyon Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Gladys May Mallyon was born in 1901 to William Mallyon and Anna Sophia Henrietta Dresner (7), and on the Clifford Goodger Death Index, Clifford Roy Goodger died in 1964, his brother EC Goodger being the named relative (7). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people just confirms that Gladys May Mallyon was born in 1901 in Bertha, but no precise date is given (8).

Why doesn’t Elliott Chivell Goodger appear on the G” data page (2) of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery? This is because he is on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery instead, under the name ‘Elliott Chivell’ (3). As note 398 tells us, ‘Chivell’ was the surname of Elliott’s maternal grandmother Anna Benny Chivell, and it was common to include ancestors’ surnames down the generations as middle names, as in Elliott Chivell Goodger’s case. The Elliott Goodger Marriage Index at GenealogySA tells us that Elliott Chivell Goodger was married in the Barossa District in 1925 to Annie Dorothy Coxell (4). The Annie Coxell Birth Index at GenealogySA has only one Annie Dorothy [or nearly]: Annie Dorathy[sic] Coxel[sic] was born in 1896 to parents Albert James Coxel[sic] and Alvina Christiana Schumacher (4), which coincides with our calculated year of birth for her of 1896. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Elliot Chivell Goodger was born on 7 Mar 1897 at Gawler River to parents William Goodger and Susan Adams Pederich (5), and Annie Dorathy Coxell was born on 22 Feb 1896 in Gawler to parents Albert James Coxell {born 14 Nov 1872 Gawler} and Alvina Christiana Schumacher {born 14 April 1876 Gawler} (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goodger_annie_dorothy.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I100368 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I193703 400 The headstone photo allows no legible information except maybe for the name Gordon. The filename of the photo says it relates to James, Margaret and Mary Baillie Gordon (1). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery agrees by leaving these lines blank (2). The Mary Gordon Death Index on Genealogy SA reveals that when Mary Baillie Gordon died in the Barossa District in 1886, the nominated relative was her father James Gordon (3). We have learned Mary Baillie Gordon died in 1886, and her father James Gordon was still alive, and she was still using her maiden name when she died, but there is no Mary Baillie Gordon Birth Index at GenealogySA. According to the information found on the LDS website, Rev James Gordon was born on 22 May 1822 in Dumfries, Scotland, died on 4 Jun 1905 Hawthorn SA, and is buried in Willaston Cemetery. He arrived in South Australia from Victoria in 1858, and was a Presbyterian minister who had resided in Mt Barker, then Gawler. He was married to Margaret Leonard [born c1829 Scotland and died 25 Oct 1883 Gawler]. The children of James Gordon and Margaret Leonard were [1] Sir John Hannah Gordon b1851, married Ann Wright Rogers 1877-01-04 Strathalbyn (5), and died in 1923; [2] Mary Baillie Gordon b1852, died 9 Nov 1886 Gawler; [3] Bessie Gordon born c1854, became Mrs Bessie Douglas; [4] James Gordon born 29 Oct 1856 Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, married 1882-11-28 Mary Beddome in Adelaide (5), and died 16 Mar 1912 Glenelg SA; [5] Margaret Leonard Gordon born 1857, married Horace Talbot 1899-04-17 Glenelg SA (5); [6] Ellen Gordon born 19 Oct 1858 Mount Barker SA]; [7] Ann Hannah Gordon born 13 Feb 1861 Mount Barker, married in Gawler 1885-06-11 William Sandergrove Rogers (5); [8] William Beattie Gordon born 20 Oct 1862 Gawler; [9] Robert Barr Smith Gordon born 8 Aug 1864 Gawler and died 16 Feb 1866 Gawler (4). On a RootsWeb website we find ‘The Gordon Family Tree’ which says that Rev James Gordon was born on 27[sic] May 1822 Cargen, Troqueer, Kirkcudbright, Scotland, was christened Cargen on 3 Jun 1822, died 4 Jun 1905 Adelaide SA, and buried Willaston SA. He married Margaret Leonard 30 Oct 1849 Bathgate, West Lothian, Scotland. James resided in Mt Barker and Gawler SA as a Presbyterian Minister. Margaret Leonard was born 1826 in Stranraer, Wigtownshire, Scotland, and died 25 Oct 1883 Gawler.They had the following children [1] Sir John Hannah Gordon born 26 Jul 1850 Kilmacolm, Renfrew, Scotland, christened 7 Oct 1850 Kilmacolm, and died 23 Dec 1923 Adelaide. He married Ann Wright Rogers on 4 Jan 1877 in Presbyterian Church Strathalbyn SA. Ann Wright Rogers was born 20 Feb 1855 SA, and died 20 Apr 1951 North Adelaide. John Gordon was employed as clerk, solicitor, judge, lawyer, MP & Premier of SA; [2] Mary Baillie Gordon was born 1852 Scotland, died on 9 Nov 1886 Gawler; [3] Elizabeth Gordon; [4] James Gordon SM born 28 Oct 1855 at 94 Bellgrove St, Glasgow, was christened High Church Glasgow, died 16 Mar 1912 Glenelg SA, and was buried in Brighton SA. He married Mary Beddome 28 Nov 1882 SA. James was a lawyer and Police Magistrate, who had resided in Gawler, Port Adelaide & North Adelaide. Mary Beddome was born 1849, died 18 Oct 1934 North Adelaide, and buried 20 Oct 1934 in St Jude's Anglican Cemetery, Brighton. In 1915, Mary resided at 44 Partridge Street, Glenelg SA; [5] Agnes Dale Gordon born 6 Jun 1857 in High Church, Glasgow, and died 16 Mar 1936 Malvern SA; [6] Margaret Leonard Gordon; [7] Ellen Gordon born 19 Oct 1858 Mt Barker; [8] Helen Gordon; [9] Ann Hannah Gordon born 13 Feb 1861 in Mt Barker, and died 24 Sep 1940 Malvern; [10] William Beattie Gordon; [11] Robert Barr Smith Gordon born 8 Aug 1864 in Gawler,and died 16 Feb 1866 Gawler (6). On the Town of Gawler website, Margaret Gordon aged 57 years from Gawler was buried 26 Oct 1883 {confirming she was born c1826} in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 32 D 2, with Rev Rev Walter Jones officiating (7). Mary Baillie Gordon from Gawler was buried 10 Nov 1886 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 32 D 2 (8). James Gordon aged 83 years of Adelaide was buried 5 June 1905 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 32 D 2, with Rev F Bardwell officiating (9). The precise dates of birth of Margaret Gordon nee Leonard and her daughter Mary Baillie Gordon remain elusive. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gordon_margaret,_james_&_mary_baillie.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I143514&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://histfam.familysearch.org/familygroup.php?familyID=F42873&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gordon/gordonfam/pafg461.htm 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30094 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30367 9 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31428 401 Janet Gordon was the daughter of Alec and Verna Gordon. She died aged 23 mths on 8 Feb 1938 and is buried with her mother’s ashes,
Verna Gordon having died aged 80 yrs on 9 Jan 1999, mother of Ray and John (1). On the Town of Gawler website, Janet Muriel Gordon aged 2 years from Gawler was buried 9 Feb 1938 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 59 I 2 (2). The ‘A Gordon’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1936 in Gawler, Alexander James Gordon was married to Emily Verna Summerton (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Alexander James Gordon, Janet Muriel Gordon and Emily Verna Summerton have no SA birth records showing under those names. On the World War Two Nominal Roll, Alexander James Gordon was born on 18 Jan 1914 in Cobar NSW and was living in Burra North SA when he enlisted in Adelaide SA on 10 May 1941 in the Australian Army, citing as next of kin, Verna Gordon. Lance Corporal Gordon was discharged on 7 Jan 1946 from 2/9 Armd Rgt (4). The Janet Muriel Gordon Death Index at GenealogySA confirms her death in Gawler in 1938, with nominated relative her father Alexander James Gordon (3), but I cannot find birth records for Emily Verna Gordon nee Summerton or Janet Muriel Gordon at GenealogySA, RootsWeb or using Trove to search contemporary newspapers. The Harold Maxwell Gordon (Max) plaque at Willaston says that he was born on 29 Jan 1924 and died 3 July 2007, husband of Joan, father of Lesley (5). The Harold Maxwell Gordon Birth Index at GenealogySA says that in the Port Gawler District in 1924 he was born to parents James Whitehead Gordon and Myra Florence Bullen (3). His father’s death: “Gordon. On October 21, at Gawler, James Whitehead Gordon, beloved brother of Mrs R McKerral and Mrs H Dean, of Melbourne, and Mrs C Letcher, of Ballarat” and “Gordon. On October 21, James Whitehead Gordon, loved father-in- law of Verna, Joan, Bill Harris, and Murray West, grandfather of Ray and John, Colleen, Robert and Peter, and Janet (deceased).” The Advertiser, Saturday 22 October 1949 p22 (6). From this death notice, we can deduce that as James Whitehead Gordon, father of Harold Maxwell Gordon, was also father-in-law of Verna, it follows that Verna’s husband Alexander James Gordon is also a son of James Whitehead Gordon, and hence a brother of Harold Maxwell Gordon. James Whitehead Gordon was a victim of the mines: “Workers' Compensation: Cases Heard by Commission: The following cases were heard by the Workers' Compensation Commission in the Courthouse yesterday afternoon: Gordon and North Ltd. The Minister for Labor and Industry appealed against the decision of the Joint Committee in respect of James Whitehead Gordon and North Broken Hill Ltd. Mr RC Cook, instructed by Mr A Levy, of the Crown Solicitor's office, appeared for the Minister for Labor and Industry; Mr ER Hudson for Gordon, and Mr M Austen Brown for North Broken Hill Ltd. Mr Cook said that on February 28, 1928, Gordon made an application for "hard luck" allowance. Investigation made in 1931 showed that Gordon was employed at certain Broken Hill mines in 1911, 1912, 1917 and 1918. On February 22, 1928, he wrote a letter to the Joint Committee in which he stated he had worked at the North mine in 1911 and finished at the British mine in October 1918, through ill-health. It also said that on April 24, 1929, he was forced out of Broken Hill through miners' complaint. Mr Cook said that on December 17, 1931, the medical authorities certified Gordon was suffering from pneumoconiosis and tuberculosis, which were reasonably attributable to employment in the Broken Hill mines. His incapacity was fixed at 100 per cent for six months. ...... Under the award made on January 12, 1932, when he was found to be a "hard luck" case, he was restored from July 1, 1933, at the rate of £3 a week for himself, £1 a week in respect of his wife and 8/6 In respect of each of his dependent children, and a sum of £325 be paid in respect of arrears of compensation, and £5 a week to be paid from January 1, 1936. ... Addressing the Commissioner Mr Cook said it was clear that Gordon had not submitted himself for examination by the medical authority within 12 months after the passing of the Act. Therefore, the committee could not make an award in his favor. The hearing was adjourned until tomorrow” Barrier Miner (Broken Hill), Wednesday 27 May 1936 p6 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gordon_janet_&_verna.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33388 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=676079 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gordon_harold_maxwell.jpg 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36693597 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47902184 402 This Gorman family headstone says William Gorman died aged 55 yrs on 28 Nov 1891; his wife Johannah Gorman died aged 55 yrs on 2 March 1895; their children Elizabeth Gorman and Joseph Gorman are also noted, but about whom no dated or ages are given (1). William Gorman’s 1891 death: “Gorman: On the 28th November, at Gawler South, of congestion of the brain and lungs, William, the dearly beloved husband of Johanna Gorman, aged 55 years, leaving a sorrowing wife and five children to mourn their loss. ... Inserted by his loving wife and children” The Bunyip, Friday 11 December 1891 p2 (2). Johannah Gorman’s 1895 death: “Mrs Gorman, a resident of Gawler South for over thirty years, died on Saturday last”. Bunyip, Friday 8 March 1895 p2 (3), ie Saturday 2nd March, confirming Johannah’s date of death and she was along-term South Gawlerite. The William Gorman Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1862 in the Kapunda District, William Gorman was married to Judith Brennan (4), and the ‘all Gorman’ Birth Index reveals that there were 4 children born, all in the Port Gawler District, to parents William Gorman and mothers surnamed Brennan [1] Catherine Cecelia Gorman b1867, to parents William Gorman and Catherine Brennan; [2] Elizabeth Margaret Gorman b1869, to parents William Gorman and Judith Brennan; [3] William Michael Gorman and [4] Joseph Gorman both b1871 {?twins or in rapid succession?} to parents William Gorman and Judeth Brennon (4). Did William’s first wife Catherine die about 1868, and he married another Brennan. Or was Catherine also called Judith Brennan [See also Judith Brennan at Note 437 and Note 50]. On the ‘all Gorman’ Birth Index, there are no births to a mother named Johannah or similar, and was this just another name for Catherine and Judith? But there were clearly more than these 4 children named above, because his death notice in 1891 says a widow and 5 children. There was a Johanna Gorman who died in 1895, in the Port Gawler District, but the nominated relative was her deceased husband Thomas Gorman (4). There are few reliable places to get the real story and this becomes more fanciful as it goes along. If William Gorman had another name Thomas, and Catherine Brennan had the names Judith and Johanna as well, then it would make more sense. But the early colonial time frame associated with calculated birth years makes it all too hard to trace. We are on surer ground with the children’s dates of birth. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Elizabeth Margaret Gorman was born on 20 Jul 1869 in Gawler to parents William Gorman and Judith Brennan (5), and Joseph Gorman was born on 22 Aug 1871 in Gawler to parents William Gorman and Judeth[sic] Brennon[sic] (6). The Elizabeth Margaret Gorman Death Index at GenealogySA shows she died in 1875 (4) and the Joseph Gorman Death Index shows he died in 1883 (4), well before 1891. Clearly if 5 were still alive when he died, there are more children to uncover. The Town of Gawler website says Elizabeth Margaret Gorman aged 6 yrs from Gawler South was buried 4 Nov 1875 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 37 G 3, with Rev A Bourke officiating (7). Then Joseph Gorman aged 11 yrs from Gawler South was buried 4 Feb 1883 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 31 D 3, with Rev Mr Byrne officiating (8). William Gorman aged 55 yrs from Gawler South was buried 29 Nov 1891 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 30 D 3, with Prior Kelly officiating (9). Johannah Gorman aged 54 years from Gawler South was buried 4 March 1895 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 30 D 3 [Johannah re-united with William in the same plot], with Rev Prior Murphy officiating (10). There didn’t seem to be newspaper notices of the deaths for either of the children. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gorman_william,_johannah,_elizabeth_&_joseph.jpg

The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says James Gorman died aged 82 yrs on 31 July 1946 (2), but I really cannot make out that detail from the photo given. However I think I can make out that Elizabeth Gorman was aged 59 yrs when she died in November sometime in the 20th century. The James Gorman Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1888, James Gorman was married to Lizzie Delaney (3), and the ‘all Gorman’ Birth Index seeking offspring of James Gorman and Elizabeth or Lizzie Delaney shows 4 children were born to James Gorman and Elizabeth [twice with middle name of Jane] Delaney [1] Hilda May Gorman b1889 in the Barossa District; [2] William John Gorman b1891 in the Port Gawler District; [3] Leonard James Gorman b1893 in the Port Gawler District; [4] Gladys Kathleen Gorman b1896 in the Port Gawler District (3). Elizabeth Delaney was born on 30 Jun 1865 in Salisbury, Adelaide to parents Patrick Delany[sic] and Ellen Collins (4), but there is no birth record for James Gorman at RootsWeb. Elizabeth Jane Gorman’s Death Notice: “Gorman. On the 4th November, at the residence of her daughter (Mrs Edwards), 52 Hallville street, Prospect, Elizabeth Jane, the beloved wife of James Gorman, Union street, Gawler South, aged 59 years” The Register (Adelaide), Friday 6 November 1925 p8 (5). There is another Elizabeth Delaney in 1865, on 8 Aug 1865 SA to parents Martin Delaney and Anna Keough, but this Elizabeth Delaney died single, aged 18 yrs in Adelaide on 11 Sep 1884 in Adelaide (6). The Elizabeth Gorman Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when she died in Adelaide in 1925, the nominated relative was her deceased husband James Gorman (3). Elizabeth Jane Gorman aged 54[sic] yrs who last resided in Gawler South was buried 5 Nov 1925 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 54 O 3, with Father O'Sullivan officiating (7). James Gorman aged 82 yrs who last resided in Norwood was buried 1 Aug 1945 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 54 O 3, with Rev Father Maher officiating, the same plot as his wife Elizabeth (8). “Gorman: On July 31, at Adelaide, James Gorman, of 68 Charles street, Norwood, beloved husband of the late Elizabeth Jane Gorman, late of Gawler, and loving father of May, Will, Len and Gladys, aged 82 years” The Advertiser, Wednesday 1 August 1945 p12 (9). The exact date of birth for James Gorman remains elusive. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gorman_elizabeth_&_james.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I521751 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/60646069?searchTerm=Elizabeth%20Gorman&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I518056 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32583 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33926 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43504586?searchTerm=gorman james&searchLimits= 404 William J Gow was born on 27 April 1929 and died on 11 Dec 1986, “Bill, Dad, Poppa” (1). On the Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper, there was a Funeral Notice for William Joseph (Bill) Gow on 12 Dec 1986 (2), confirming the date of death on the headstone, and his full name. On a website dedicated to the “Hardisty Family Tree”, we find some details for William Joseph Gow (1929 – 1986). He was born on 27 April 1929 at Brighton-le-Sands NSW to parents Alexander John Gow aged 35 yrs (1893 – 1951) and Martha Hardisty aged 41 yrs (1887 – 1966). He had younger siblings James Gow (1922 – 2007) and Ivy Jane Gow (1925 – 1998). William Joseph Gow died aged 57 yrs in Gawler SA on 11 December 1986. This Gow marriage was the second for William Joseph Gow’s mother. Martha Hardisty had previously been married to Richard Guy Rowe (1864 – 1930) and had had 3 daughters, who were William Joseph Gow’s older half sisters [1] Edith Martha Rowe (1909 – 1985); [2] Rachel Annie Frances Rowe (1916 – 1916); [3] Thelma May Rowe (1917 – 1983) (3). Martha Rowe nee Hardisty had clearly become separated from Richard Guy Rowe at some stage between 1917 and 1922, possibly an affect of WWI. On the Ancestry Archive™website William Joseph Gow (1929-1986) was married to Marlene June Werlich and had 4 children [1] Michelle Gow; [2] Alexander Gow; [3] Lynette Gow; [4] Wendy Gow (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gow_william_j.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 3 http://www.hardistyfamilytree.com/phpgedview/individual.php?pid=I14375&ged=hardisty.ged 4 http://www.mytrees.com/newanc/Australia/Born-1929/Go/Gow-family/William-Gow-mi002333-2329.html 405 HA Bertha Graetz died aged 65 yrs on 1 Aug 1927; J August Graetz died aged 90 yrs on 25 Nov 1955 (1), making their estimated years of birth c1862 and c1865 respectively. The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that J August Graetz died in 1965 (2), but it looks more like 1955 to me. The J Graetz Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Johann August Graetz died in Gawler in 1955, with nominated relative his sister EH Graetz (3). There is no Johann August Graetz Birth Index at GenealogySA. “Deaths: Graetz: On the 1st August, at her residence, Kangaroo Flat, Henrietta AB, wife of Johann A Graetz, aged 65 years (suddenly)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 6 August 1927 p42 (4). The date of death matches exactly the date for HA Bertha Graetz, so we can presume that Henrietta AB is the same person as HA Bertha = Henrietta A Bertha, and her husband Johann A is the same as J August Graetz = Johann August Graetz. The ‘all Graetz’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Johann August Graetz and Henrietta A Bertha __ shows at least 5 children, all born in the Barossa District to Johann / Johan August / Auguste Graetz and Henriette / Henrietta Auguste Bertha Laubsch [1] Johann Philip Graetz b1893; [2] Fredrich Wilhelm Graetz b1895; [3] Edward Hermann Graetz b1897; [4] Berthold Julius Graetz b1900; [5] Bertha Lydia Graetz b1903 (3). On their headstone Johann Philipp Graetz died aged 68 yrs on 8 Nov 1961; his wife Clare Louisa Graetz died aged 71 yrs on 11 Sept 1965, parents of Desmond and Phyllis; and their infant son Philipp James Graetz died aged 8 mths on 8 Sept 1929 (5). The Johann Philipp Graetz Marriage Index at GenealogySA was fruitless, but the John Philip Graetz Marriage Index shows that he was married in 1920 in the Barossa District to Clara Louisa Burnett (3). On the website discussing the genealogy of Graeme Moad there is a series of pages called “Lehmann Henschke - Person Sheet” which says that Johann Philipp Graetz was born on 27 Mar 1893 at Schoenborn SA and died aged 68 yrs on 8 Nov 1961 in Adelaide. His parents were Johann August Graetz (1865-1955) and Henriette Augusta Betha Laubsch (1861-1927). Johann Philipp Graetz was married on 17 Feb 1920 at Wasleys SA to Clara Louise Burnett who was
born on 14 Mar 1895 at Wasleys, and died aged 71 yrs on 11 Sep 1966 in Adelaide. The parents of Clara Louise Burnett were James William Burnett (1855-1927) and Sophie Marie Friedericke Raneberg (1864-1933) (6). On another ‘Lehmann Henschke - Person Sheet’ Johann August Graetz was born on 10 Oct 1865 at Vine Vale SA and died aged 90 yrs on 25 Nov 1955. His parents were Johann Friedrich August Graetz (1827-1909) and Anna Caroline Henschel (ca1836-1889). Johann August Graetz was married on 6 Feb 1890 at Bethany SA to Henriette Augusta Betha Laubsch, who was born on 10 Dec 1861 at Schoenborn SA and died aged 65 yrs on 1 Aug 1927 at Kangaroo Flat SA. The parents of Henriette Augusta Betha Laubsch were Friedrich Wilhelm Laubsch (1829-1895) and Auguste Bertha Winsker (1836-1875). The children of Johann August Graetz and Henriette Augusta Betha Laubsch were [1] Johann Philipp Graetz (1893-1961); [2] Friedrich Wilhelm Graetz (1895-1975); [3] Eduard Hermann Graetz (1897-); [4] Berthold Julius Graetz (1900-1969); [5] Bertha Lydia Graetz (1903-1981) (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/graetz_h.a._bertha_&_j_august.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/8662314?zoomLevel=3&searchTerm=bertha%20graetz&searchLimits= 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/graetz_johann_philipp,_clara_louisa_&_philipp_james.jpg 6 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS130/PS130_267.HTM 7 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS61/PS61_206.HTM 406 Clarence James Graham died aged 82 yrs on 25 Feb 1976; his wife Ivy Ruth Graham died aged 53 yrs on 14 Jan 1947; their infant daughter Gwendoline Graham died on 6 May 1921 (1). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Gwendoline died 6 Feb 1921 when the headstone says she died 6 May 1921 (2). The Gwendoline Graham Birth Index at GenealogySA says that she was born in Adelaide in 1920 to parents Clarence James Graham and Ivy Ruth Gwynne (3). Gwendoline Graham’s birth: “Graham: On the 26th September, at Torquay, Unley, to Mr and Mrs CJ Graham, Mary street, Unley— a daughter (Gwendoline)”. Chronicle, Saturday 23 October 1920 p29 (4). Gwendoline Graham’s death: “Graham: On the 6th May, at 8 Mary street, Unley, of pneumonia, Gwendoline, dearly beloved daughter of Mr and Mrs CJ Graham, aged 7 months and 10 days”. Chronicle, Saturday 14 May 1921 p29 (5). The ‘all Graham’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Clarence James Graham and Ivy Ruth Gwynne shows 5 children all born in Adelaide [up until the genealogy websites’ cut-off in 1928] [1] Gwendoline Graham b1920; [2] Olive Jean Graham b1921; [3] Douglas Bruce Graham b1923; [4] Thelma Mary Graham b1925; [5] Beryl Roma Graham b1927 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Clarence James Graham was born on 24 Oct 1893 in Petersburg (now Peterborough) SA to parents Walter Graham and Mary Anne Goodes (6), and Ivy Ruth Gwynne was born as Ruth Ivy Gwynne on 1 Sep 1892 in Bertha nr Gawler SA to parents Evan Gwynne and Mary Ann Dew (7), meaning that Ivy Ruth Graham was aged 54 yrs old when she died, not 53 yrs as appears on the headstone. Also buried in Willaston are Walter Graham and Mary Anne Graham nee Goodes; their headstone says that Walter Graham died aged 67 yrs on 18 Jan 1936; his wife Mary Ann Graham died aged 82 yrs on 12 Nov 1946 (8). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Walter Graham died on 12 Jan 1936, but I read it as 18 Jan 1936 (2). His Death Notice agrees: “Deaths. Graham. On the 18th January at his residence, 44 Fourth street, Gawler South (suddenly), Walter, the dearly loved husband of Mary Ann Graham, aged 67 years, late SAR” The Chronicle, Thursday 23 January 1936 p25 (9). The CommunityTrees LDS Data also agrees on their website. They say that Walter Graham was born on 19 Sept 1868 Inman Valley SA and died 18 Jan 1936 Gawler to parents Duncan Graham (b1828, died 24 Dec 1904 Salisbury SA) and Eliza Moulton or Mollon (b1833 China and died 16 Dec 1912 Kadina SA], who had married on 1 Sep 1853 in Adelaide. Walter Graham was a teacher and railway employee, who had resided in Koonunga, Mt Gambier, Pt Pirie and Gawler. Walter Graham was married in Adelaide on 26 Apr 1890 to Mary Ann Goodes [her parents were James Goodes and Emily Robinson]. Mary Ann Goodes was born on 27 July 1864 in Saddleworth and died on 12 November 1946 in Gawler. The children of Walter Graham and Mary Ann Goodes were: [1] Ernest Cyril Graham born 23 Mar 1890 Kent Town SA; [2] Mary Graham b1891-d1891; [3] Clarence James Graham b1893-d1976; [4] Rena Oatey nee Graham born 31 Mar 1895 Solomontown SA and died 1982; [5] Mervyn Douglas Graham born 10 Dec 1896 Port Pirie and died 1954; [6] Effie Muriel Harris nee Graham born 31 Aug 1898 Solomontown and died 1981; [7] Vera Mavis Parr nee Graham born 29 Jun 1900 Mount Gambier; [8] Ethel Maude Jordan nee Graham born 12 Jan 1902 Mount Gambier and died 1980; [9] Mavis Thelma Hopgood nee Graham born 20 Oct 1903 Mount Gambier (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/graham_ivy_ruth,_gwendoline_&_clarence_james.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/89193122?searchTerm=Ivy%20Graham%20Gwendoline&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/89250027?searchTerm=Ivy%20Graham%20Gwendoline&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I3370 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I10182 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/graham_walter_&_mary_a.jpg 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92335870?searchTerm=Walter%20Graham&searchLimits= 10 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I14710&tree=SouthAustralia 407 HR (Tuss) Graham died aged 65 yrs on 16 March 1977, husband of Thelka (1). On a similar plaque to the one for her husband, Thelka M Graham died aged 68 yrs on 18 May 1977, wife of Tuss (2). Their respective years of birth are thus c1912 and c1909. The ‘H Graham’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in Gawler in 1935, Howard Ray Graham was married to Thelka Maud Wood (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Howard Ray Graham was born on 7 Jun 1911 in Kingston SA to parents Henry James Graham and Ellenor May Hill (4), and Thelka Maud Wood was born as Thelka Maude[sic] Wood on 2 Jan 1909 in Gawler to parents Thomas Patrick Wood and Kate Esther Freeman (5). The ‘all Graham’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Henry James Graham and Ellenor May Hill shows that 5 children were born to Henry James / James Henry Graham and Ellenor / Ellen / Elenor May Hill [1] Edna May Graham b1907 in Adelaide; [2] James Henry Graham b1909 in Adelaide; [3] Howard Ray Graham b1911 in the Wellington District; [4] Dorothy Jean Graham b1914 in the Wellington District; [5] Reginald Graham b1919 in the Gilbert District (3). On their headstone, Ellenor May Hill died aged 82 yrs on 16 Nov 1962; her husband Henry James Graham died aged 82 yrs on 24 March 1966 (6). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Ellenor May Graham was aged 62 yrs when she died (7), which would mean she was born c1900, and had her first child when she was 7 yrs old. Clearly that makes no sense, especially when the headstone says she was 82 yrs old, not 62 yrs old, when she died in 1962, making her year of birth c1880. The Henry James Graham Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1906 James Henry Graham was married to Ellenor May Hill in the Norwood District (3). Back to the RootsWeb data, Henry James Graham was born on 21 Apr 1883 in Riverton SA to parents
James Graham and Elizabeth Heighet (8), but Ellenor May Hill doesn’t have a birth record using that name at RootsWeb. Going to the LDS data, James Henry Graham was born in 1883 and was married on 30 Jun 1906 in Uraidla SA to Eleanor Louisa May Hill who was born on 7 May 1880 at Mount Lofty SA (9). Using the new spelling for Eleanor Louisa May Hill on RootsWeb we find that she was born 7 May 1880 at Mount Lofty to parents Harry Hill and Kezia Halliday (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/graham_h.r..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/graham_thelka_m.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I517736 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I703739 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/graham_ellenor_may_&_henry_james.jpg 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I2803 9 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I279314&tree=SouthAustralia 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I24881 408 Kathleen Teresa Graham died aged 80 yrs on 16 May 1984; her husband Roland Joseph Graham died aged 87 yrs on 26 Sept 1989; parents of Joanm Maureen, Brian, Andrew and Ann (1), making their years of birth c1904 and c1902 respectively. The Roland Graham Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Gilbert District in 1930, Roland Joseph Graham was married to Kathleen Teresa Hurle (2). There is no Roland Joseph Graham Birth Index on GenealogySA, nor amongst the SA births found on RootsWeb. More details are needed, and a search using Trove reveals: “Approaching Marriage: Hurle— Graham: The marriage of Kathleen Teresa, only daughter of Mrs and the late Mr JT Hurle, of Auburn, to Roland J, fifth son of Mr and Mrs AJ Graham, of Hoyleton, will be celebrated In Queen of Peace Church, Auburn, on the 21st April, at 10am” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 24 April 1930 p39 (3), which tells us his father’s initials are ‘AJ’. The ‘all Graham’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking all offspring where father is AJ or JA Graham reveals only one family where the 5th son is possibly Roland Joseph Graham. The 11 children of James Angus Graham and Margaret Callary were all born in the Upper Wakefield District except for the firstborn in the Clare District [1] James Albert Graham b1889; [2] Ambrose Philip Graham b1891; [3] Albertha Margaret Graham b1893; [4] Edward Otto Graham b1895; [5] Amelia Marron Graham b1897; [6] Ann Graham b1898; [7] Angas Thomas Graham b1900; [8] Joseph Ronald Graham b1902; [9] Blanche Julia Graham b1904; [10] Duncan Neale Graham b1906; [11] Margaret Ellen Graham b1910 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there were no children born in SA up to 1928 with the first name Roland, and only 3 with a second name Roland, none of whom had the surname Graham. Mindful of this, plus the awareness of how easy it would be to mis-interpret an unfamiliar name and write down Ronald instead of Roland, and also that the 5th son who was born in the target year of 1902 was Joseph Ronald Graham, it leaves no doubt that this is whom we seek. There are no Roland Grahams or Rolland Grahams born here, and the only other Ronald is Ronald Jack Graham born in 1915 to parents Arthur James Graham and Alice Mary Childs in the Hindmarsh District (2), which is wrong name and year and he was the fourth son, not fifth. Back on the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Roland Joseph Graham was born as Joseph Ronald Graham on 28 May 1902 in Watervale, near Auburn SA to parents James Angas Graham and Margaret Callary (4), and Kathleen Teresa Hurle was born on 30 Dec 1903 in Auburn SA to parents Joseph Thomas Hurle and Agnes Matilda Willis (5), noting the fact that they were both born in Auburn, hence increasing the probability that this the correct couple. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/graham_kathleen_teresa_&_roland_joseph.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90058247?searchTerm=roland graham hurle&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I726059 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I238963 409 This Greaves headstone has substantial weathering, making it hard to read. It says ?Gelson Greaves died aged 67 yrs on 27 Sept 1947; his wife Nina Greaves died 18 __ 1950 (1), admittedly with some guessing involved. The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has said his first name was Gelson (2), a first name I had not seen used before. The Nina Greaves Death Index at GenealogySA reveals that when Nina Eliza Greaves died in Gawler in 1950, the nominated relative was her late husband Thomas William Nelson Greaves (3). Is ‘Gelson’ Greaves really ‘Nelson’ Greaves? A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there has never been a person born in SA up to 1928 where the name ‘Gelson’ is part of the first or subsequest forenames. The ‘all Greaves’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of a Mr _elson Greaves and Nina Eliza__ shows no children, but there were 4 children all born in the Barossa District to Thomas Greaves and Sarah Needs [or Needes] [1] Thomas William Nelson Greaves b1879; [2] Ethel Mary Greaves b1881; [3] Mabel Hellings Greaves b1884; [4] Lillian Ethilda Greaves b1891 (3). The parents of Thomas William Nelson Greaves also have a headstone that is hard to read. Thomas Greaves died aged 83 yrs on 2 April 1942; his wife Sarah Greaves died aged 85 yrs on 5 May 1943 (4), but I have had to rely heavily on what is written on the “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The Thomas Greaves Death Index at GenealogySA confirm that Thomas Greaves died in Adelaide in 1942 and Thomas William Nelson Greaves died in Gawler in 1947 (3), and the Sarah Greaves Death Index says that when she died in Gawler in 1943, the nominated relative was her late husband Thomas Greaves (3), his death the year before. The Thomas William Nelson Greaves Marriage Index shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1901 to Nina Eliza Goldney (3). Still with this family, Thomas and Sarah Greaves’ daughter Lillian Ethilda Greaves is also buried in Willaston. On her headstone, Lillian Greaves died aged 56 yrs on 5 Jan 1948, youngest daughter of Thomas and Sarah Greaves (5). Now we have full names and family connections, we can return to RootsWeb to find that Lillian Ethilda Greaves was born on 29 Oct 1891 in Bertha nr Gawler to parents Thomas Greaves and Sarah Needs (7); Thomas Greaves was born on 12 Jul 1858 in Willaston SA to parents Thomas Greaves {born abt 1825} and Harriet Kightly {Harriet Kitely was born abt 1827}, and he died aged 84 yrs on 2 Apr 1942 in hospital in Adelaide; Thomas William Nelson Greaves was born on 8 Oct 1879 in Willaston to parents Thomas Greaves and Sarah Needs (8); Sarah Needs was born on 24 Feb 1858 in Aldinga SA to parents William Needs and Mary Hellings (9); and Nina Eliza Goldney was born on 22 Jul 1873 at Gawler River SA to parents Henry Goldney and Mary Ann Duke (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greaves_gelson_&_nina.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greaves_thomas_&_sarah.jpg 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greaves_lillian.jpg

The Thomas Clair Greaves Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in the Barossa District in 1894 to parents William Alfred Greaves and Emma Needs (3), and the Marriage Indexshows that he was married in Adelaide in 1921 to Catherine Mary Patten (3), and the Death Index shows he died in 1958 in Gawler, with nominated relative his wife CM Greaves (3). The ‘all Greaves’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that there were 3 birth to Thomas Clair Greaves and Catherine Mary Patten, all in the Barossa District [1] Joan Clair Greaves b1922; [2] Gwendoline Mary Greaves b1924; [3] William Charles Greaves b1926 (3), matching the names on the headstone. The Catherine Mary Greaves Death Index at GenealogySA shows that she died in Gawler in 1972, not in 1976, as the “G” data page says (2), and her nominated relative was her late husband Thomas Clair Greaves (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Thomas Clair Greaves was born on 1 Sep 1894 near Willaston SA to parents William Alfred Greaves {William Alfred Greaves born 25 Jun 1862 in Willaston} and Emma Needs {born 20 May 1865 near Willaston}, and he died aged 64 yrs on 11 Sep 1958 in Willaston (4), and Catherine Mary Patten was born on 27 May 1897 in Quorn SA to parents Charles Patten and Catherine Mary Daley (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greaves_thomas_clair_&_catherine_mary.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I4596 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I199849 411 This family headstone says Susannah J Green died aged 75 yrs on 24 April 1902; William C Green died aged 96 yrs on 21 Sept 1920, Edwin Green died aged 42 yrs on 7 Oct 1910; Joseph M Green died aged 44 yrs on 19 Nov 1910 (1), making their respective years of birth c1827, c1824, c1868 and c1866. I have had to rely for some detail on the “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), as the headstone’s lettering has become hard to read. The ‘all Green’ Birth index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William C Green and Susannah J __ shows the birth of 2 children in the Port Gawler District to William Gale Green [ie William G, not William C] and Susannah Jane Maslen [1] Joseph Maslen Green b1866; [2] Edwin Green b1868 (3). On a website called ‘My Family Tree’, there is discussion about Susanna Jane Maslen who was born about 1827 in Market Lavington, Devizes, Wiltshire, and was baptised on 2 March 1828 at Market Lavington. On the UK Census of 30 March 1851 she was living in White Street, Market Lavington, a daughter aged 24 yrs of the head of household, and she was an unmarried bonnet maker. At the 7 April 1861 UK Census, she was living in Main Road, Briton Ferry, Glamorgan as a 33 yr-old married woman. Her parents were William and Ann Maslen, and she had an older sister Anne Maslen, and two younger brothers Joseph Maslen and William Maslen. She was married in 1851 in Devizes, Wiltshire to William Gale Green and they emigrated aboard the Lincoln in 1865 to SA, where they lived in Gawler. The children of William Gale Green and Susanna Jane Maslen were [1] Sarah Jane Green; [2] Henry Green; [3] William G Green; [4] Samuel Green; [5] Annette Green; [6] Joseph Maslen Green; [7] Edwin Green (4), the older 5 children would have been born in the UK. Golden Wedding: Green—Maslen: On the 11th June 1851, at the old Baptist Chapel, Devizes, Wilts, England, by the Rev WB Withington, William Gale Green, of Briton Ferry, to Susanna Jane Maslen, of Market Lavington, present address Arcadian Cottage, High street, Gawler” The Register (Adelaide), Wednesday 12 June 1901 p9 (5). On their headstones, Sarah Green died aged 84 yrs on 11 July 1937; Henry Green died aged 91 yrs on 8 April 1946 (6). It is tempting to say that these two are most likely siblings, children of William Gale Green and Susannah Jane Maslen. But the Henry Green Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1877, Henry Green was married to Sarah Filsell (3). According to information on the LDS website, Susannah Jane Maslin[sic] was born abt 1828 and died on 23 Apr 1902 in Gawler. She was married to William Gale Green (born 13 Nov 1823 Wiltshire, England), and they had {at least} 5 children [1] Sarah Jane Green b1852; [2] Henry Green b1855; [3] Samuel Green b1859; [4] Joseph Maslen Green born 17 Oct 1866 Gawler South, died 19 Nov 1910 at Parkside SA; [5] Edwin Green born 24 Sep 1868 Gawler South, died 7 Oct 1910 at Yorketown SA (7). Still on the LDS website, there is further information about the family of William Gale Green and Susannah Jane Maslin [1] Sarah Jane Green was married on 13 Jul 1892 in Gawler to Henry John Burge {which helps confirm that the Sarah Green buried here is not Henry’s sister, but his wife}; [2] Henry Green was married on 5 Jul 1877 in Gawler to Sarah Filsell; [3] Samuel Green was married on 25 Dec 1880 at Medindie SA to Maria Marcella Graves; [5] Edwin Green was married on 17 May 1893 in North Adelaide to Eva Charlotte Buckhurst (8). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no birth records for Sarah Filsell but there is some information on the LDS website. Sarah Filsell was born in 1853 in England to parents George Filsell (born 8 Oct 1815 St Neots, Huntingdonshire, England) and Elizabeth Mary Jowett (born 1816 England and died on 26 Mar 1906 in Gawler), who had married on 2 Sep 1839 at St Martins in the Fields, London, England. The children of Henry Green and Sarah Filsell, all born in Gawler, were [1] Ethel May Green born 22 Apr 1878; [2] Ernest Harry Green born 6 Aug 1879; [3] Hubert Maslen Green born 23 Oct 1880; [4] William Gale Green b 21 Apr 1882, died 21 Nov 1896 Gawler South; [5] Gertrude Green born 24 Nov 1884, died 5 Jul 1905 Bassett Town SA (9). More data on the family of Henry Green and Sarah Filsell can also be found at the LDS website [1] Ethel May Green was married on 13 Mar 1902 in Gawler to Walter John Paterson; [2] Ernest Harry Green was married on 3 Sep 1906 in Parkside SA to Evelyn Eliza Whiting. It seems that Hubert Maslen Green, William Gale Green (b1882) and Gertrude Green did not marry (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/green_susannah_j,_william_c,_edwin_&_joseph_m.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.ply.me.uk/genealogy/ppl/3/b/bcc70e107df4d6877fb8eb3c9b3.html 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/56081750 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/green_sarah_&_henry.jpg 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I266887&tree=SouthAustralia 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F77185&tree=SouthAustralia 9 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I153573&tree=SouthAustralia 10 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F46294&tree=SouthAustralia 412 This old headstone tells us that Herbert RP (or RR) Green died aged 56 yrs on the 8th Jan 1930; Amy Louisa Green but that’s all I can read
(1). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says it is Robert RR Green, but it seems more like Herbert RR or RP Green to me. It also says Amy Louisa Green died aged query 89 yrs on 4 May 1968 (2), which I’ll accept at this stage as I cannot read what the headstone says. The only entry for Robert R Green on the Marriage Index at GenealogySA is the 1924 marriage in the Norwood District between Robert Roy Green and Phyllis Edna Moulds (3), which doesn’t fit Amy Louisa Green’s name. However, the Herbert R Green Marriage Index shows that in Adelaide in 1899, Herbert Ryder Robert Green was married to Amy Louisa Brumby (3), which fits perfectly. The ‘all Green’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Herbert Ryder Robert Green and Amy Louisa Brumby shows 4 children [1] Frank Herbert James Green b1901 in the Barossa District; [2] Douglas Charles Green b1904 in the Port Gawler District; [3] Louis Martin Green b1911 in the Port Gawler District; [4] Alecia Harriett Green b1911 in the Port Gawler District (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no birth records for Herbert Ryder Robert Green but Amy Louisa Brumby was born Amey Lousia Brumby on 26 Apr 1878 in Yongala SA to parents Richard Brumby and Harriot Wingate (4). On the RootsChat website, there is discussion about the “Green Family Gawler Adelaide”. Herbert Rider Green and his wife Martha Church, emigrated from Guernsey, Channel Islands to Adelaide in 1889 with their 4 sons, Herbert Rider Robert Green (b1874), Charles Green (b1882), James George Green (b1883) and Harry Church Green (b1886) (5), which explains his not appearing on the SA birth records. “Marriages: Green—Brumby. On the 27th December, 1899, at the residence of the bridegroom's parents, 126 Grote-street, Adelaide, by the Rev H Pope, Herbert RR Green, eldest son of H Green, late of Guernsey, to Amy Louisa Brumby, youngest daughter of the late Richard Brumby, late of Uroonda, both of Gawler” The Advertiser, Friday 16 February 1900 p4 (6). But 1874 is as close as I can get to Herbert RR Green’s exact date of birth. If Amy Loisa Green nee Brumby’s dates of birth and death are correct, it means she was really 90 yrs old when she died, but we must confirm her date of death. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/green_robert_r.r_&_amy_louisa.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I324527 5 http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=479026.0 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29530417?searchTerm=Amy%20Brumby&searchLimits= 413 Elizabeth Green died aged 67 yrs on 3 Sept 1893, the wife of John Green (1), making her year of birth c1826, and unlikely to have been born in SA. Without middle names, the search is just that bit harder. The Elizabeth Green Death Index at GenealogySA confirms that she died in 1893 in the Barossa District, with nominated relative her husband John Green (2). Elizabeth Green’s Death Notice: “On the 3rd September, near Templers, Elizabeth, the beloved wife of John Green, aged 67 years, arrived 1851 in ship Prince Regent, leaves two sons and four daughters to mourn their loss” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 8 September 1893 p2 (3). On the website discussing the 19th century emigrant ships to Adelaide, we find the barque Prince Regent, 527 tons, Captain Walter Jago, from London 1850 / Plymouth 8th November 1850, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 5th March 1851. Aboard was John Green aged 22 yrs, an agricultural labourer born in Oxfordshire, his wife Elizabeth Green and one-year old daughter also named Elizabeth Green (4). The ‘all Green’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Green and Elizabeth __ shows that the most likely contender for mother is Eliza Shields [x3] / Sheil [x1] / Sheeles [x1] / Shiels [x2]. The children of John Green and Elizabeth Shields {[1] Elizabeth Green born abt 1850 in UK}; [2] Mary Jane Green b1851 in Adelaide; [3] Thomas Green b1854 in Adelaide; [4] John Green b1856 in Adelaide; [5] Emma Green b1857 in the Barossa District; [6] Joseph Green b1859 in the Barossa District; [7] William Green b1861 in the Barossa District; [8] Louisa Green b1863 in the Barossa District (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/green_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97235335?searchTerm=elizabeth green john&searchLimits= 4 http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/australia/princeregent1851.shtml 414 This Greening headstone says Daisy May Greening died aged 84 yrs on 5 Nov 1968, wife of Norman Charles Greening; her husband Norman GJ [or CJ] Greening died aged 88 yrs on 15 Dec 1975, husband of Daisy Greening, parents of Alma, Norm, Ross, Dorrie, Delma and Allan (1). As the headstone says Norman Charles, her husband was most lilely Norman CJ Greening, and not GJ Greening as appears on the “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The Norman Greening Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Port Gawler District in 1911, Norman Charles Josephus Greening was married to Daisy May Causby (3), confirming that he was CJ, not GJ Greening, and giving us Daisy May’s maiden name. The ‘all Greening’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of parents Norman Charles Josephus Greening and Daisy May Causby shows a total of 6 children (born up to 1928), the first five in the Port Gawler District and the last in the Barossa District [1] Alma May Greening b1912; [2] Norman Henry Greening b1914; [3] Dorothy Irene Greening b1916; [4] Ross Keith Greening b1920; [5] Delma Olive Edith Greening b1923; [6] Alen Cobham Greening b1926 (3). These children’s names match the sequence of those on the headstone, although spellings vary a little. The Norman Henry Greening headstone is a military plaque saying that he was ex AIF.He was born on 3 March 1914 and died 28 Nov 1998, son of Norman Charles Josephus and Daisy May Greening (4), and was 84 yrs old when he died. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Norman Charles Josephus Greening was born as Norman Charles Josephas[sic] Greening on 23 Jul 1887 in Pinkerton Plains SA to parents William Greening {born c1840} and Ann Pierson {born c1844} (5), Daisy May Causby was born on 18 Sep 1884 in Gawler to parents William Causby and Mary Bentley (6), and to confirm his headstone date, Norman Henry Greening was born on 3 Mar 1914 in Gawler to parents Norman Charles Josephus Greening and Daisy May Causby (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greening_daisy_may_&_norman_g.j..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greening_norman_henry.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I5677 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I319581 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I519520 415 This Headstone lists 6x Greening, 1x Thompson, 3x Merrifield, 2x Caddle and 1x Pratt burials. John and Susannah Greening are actually buried at the site of the headstone, the other 11 are in unmarked graves in Willaston Cemetery, and are presumably all somehow related to this Greening family. We will concentrate here on those surnamed Greening: John Greening died aged 84 yrs on 26 Nov 1897; Susannah Greening died aged 83 yrs on 5 Dec 1904; Reece HM Greening died aged 6 mths on 22 Dec 1907; William HS Greening died aged 6 mths on 2 Jan 1908; Stanley F Greening died aged 2 days on 23 Feb 1916; and an unnamed Greening stillborn 23 June 1920 (1). There is no John Greening Marriage Index at GenealogySA so John and Susannah may have married before their SA arrival. The ‘all
Greening’ Birth Index seeking offspring of John Greening and Susannah __ shows no SA births to this couple. According to the LDS website, John Greening was born abt 1813 and died on 26 Nov 1897 at Reeves Plains SA. His wife was Susannah Greening {maiden name not shown}, who was born in 1819, and died on 5 Dec 1904 Gawler Plains. They had at least one child: William Greening, who was born in 1839 (2). On the Website MyHeritage, in a history of Cecilia Martha Mary Stephenson nee Greening [see child [9] below], it says that her father William Greening was born on July 1 1839 (3). Returning to the LDS website, William Greening was born 1839 to parents John Greening and Susannah Greening and was married on 17 Apr 1866 in Stockport SA to Ann Pierson, b1843. The children of William Greening and Ann Pierson were [1] Beatrice Elizabeth Greening born 23 Oct 1867 nr Stockport, died 9 May 1909 Adelaide; [2] Ava Edith Greening born 23 May 1869 Light SA; [3] Julian John James Greening born 25 Mar 1871 Light SA; [4] Smith Henry Pierson Greening born 2 May 1873 nr Stockport; [5] Sydney Lang Ferbank Greening born 2 May 1873 nr Stockport; [6] Annie Susannah Greening born 5 Aug 1875 Koolunga SA; [7] Herbert William George Greening born 1 Aug 1877 Koolunga; [8] Alice Martha Greening born 20 May 1879 Koolunga, died 19 Jun 1879 Koolunga; [9] Cecilia Martha Mary Greening born 21 May 1880 Koolunga; [10] Willie Augustine Greening born 15 Apr 1882 nr Hamley Bridge SA; [11] Clara Irma Greening born 28 Oct 1884 Hamley Bridge; [12] Norman Charles Josephus Greening born 23 Jul 1887 Pinkerton Plains SA (4). Still on the LDS website, there is more information about the family of William Greening and Ann Pierson; Ann Pierson’s parents were James Pierson and Elizabeth Smith; [1] Beatrice Elizabeth Greening was married twice. Her first husband was Joseph Pratt, whom she married on 6 Oct 1891 at Reeves Plains SA. Her second husband, whom she married on 21 Dec 1901 in Gawler, was Thomas Merrifield. Sadly Beatrice Elizabeth Merrifield fmly Pratt nee Greening died aged 41 yrs in 1909; [3] Julian John James Greening was married on 4 Apr 1900 in Adelaide to Alice Stacey; [4] Smith Henry Pierson Greening was married on 10 Jul 1900 in Kersbrook SA to Gwenllyan Mary Powell; [5] Sydney Lang Ferbank Greening was married on 29 Mar 1905 in Kersbrook to Sarah Louisa Goodridge; [6] Annie Susannah Greening was married on 9 Oct 1893 at Reeves Plains to John Pratt; [7] Herbert William George Greening was married on 26 Dec 1906 at Williamstown SA to Jessie Lydia Clarke; [9] Cecilia Martha Mary Greening was married on 10 Jul 1902 in Kersbrook to William James Stephenson ; [10] Willie Augustine Greening was married on 23 May 1906 in Kersbrook to Ellen Maude Stephenson; [11] Clara Irma Greening was married on 18 Aug 1906 in Gawler to John Mitchell Murray Caddle; [12] Norman Charles Josephus Greening was married on 17 Apr 1911 in Gawler to Daisy May Causby, this couple were the subject of research in note 414 (5). A GenForum website from Genealogy.com shows the story of the “Greening's from England to South Australia” which tells us that Smith Henry Pierson Greening and Gwenllyan Mary Powell had twin sons Rees[sic] Henry Maxwell Greening and William Hamilton Smith Greening on 29th June 1907 in Kersbrook, Talunga District SA. Reece Henry Maxwell aged 5 months and 2 weeks of Kersbrook died on 22nd December 1907 at Gawler, and William Hamilton Smith Greening aged 6 months of Kersbrook died on 2nd January 1908 at Gawler. It also confirms that Norman Henry Greening was born on 3rd March 1914 in Gawler South to parents Norman Charles Josephus Greening and Daisy May Causby, as we had discovered in Note 414, and that Daisy May Greening, Married, aged 84 years, of Gawler South died on 5th November 1968 in hospital in Adelaide (6). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Stanley Frederick Greening was born on 21 Feb 1916 in Gawler to parents Julyan[sic] John James Greening and Alice Stacey (7). The children of William Greening and Ann Pierson are already listed above. The children of his male children are (in the same order as father’s birthdate as above) [3] Julian John James Greening and Alice Stacey had 6 children all but 2 born in the Port Gawler District {1} Edward George John James Greening b1901; {2} Myrtle Dorothey Alice Greening b1903; {3} Mabel Dorothy Alice Greening b1906b in the Barossa District; {4} William Herbert Roy Greening b1910; {5} Reginald Norman Harold Greening b1912; {6} Stanley Frederick Greening b1916 in the Barossa District (8). [4] Smith Henry Pierson Greening and Gwenllyan Mary Powell had 8 children {1} Lily Gwenllyan Pearl Greening b1901 in the Highercombe District; {2} David John Murray Greening b1903 in the Highercombe District; {3} Muriel Mary Gwen Greening b1904 in the Highercombe District; {4} Rees Henry Maxwell Greening 1907 in the Talunga District; {5} William Hamilton Smith Greening b1907 in the Talunga District; {6} Gweneth May Victoria Greening b1909 in the Barossa District; {7} William Smith Rees Greening b1911 in the Talunga District; {8} Claude Gilbert Howard Greening b1918 in the Talunga District (8). [5] Sydney Lang Ferbank Greening and Sarah Louisa Goodridge had 4 children, the first in the Talunga District and the rest in the Daly District, {1} William Henry Greening b1906; {2} Myrtle Louisa May Greening b1908; {3} Sydney Reginald Greening b1909; {4} Jean Irene Greening b1924 (8). [7] Herbert William George Greening and Jessie Lydia Clarke had 11 children, the first 2 in the Barossa District and the rest in the Wellington District {1} Ivy Olive Greening b1908; {2} Mavis Jean Greening b1911; {3} Herbert William John Greening b1912; {4} Audray Hope Greening b1914; {5} Linda May Greening b1915; {6} Harold George Greening b1919; {7} Douglas Henry Greening b1921; {8} Kenneth Iving Greening b1923; {9} Leanne GREENING b1924; {10} Lily Marjorie Greening b1924; {11} Alice Gladia Dawn Greening b1926 (8). [10] Willie Augustine Greening and Ellen Maude Stephenson had 2 children, both born in the Highercombe District {1} Gladys Muriel Greening b1907; {2} Herman Wilfred Greening b1910 (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greening_reece_h.m,_william_h.s,_stanley_&_unnamed.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I153826&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.myheritage.com/names/cecilia_greening 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I44370&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F11280&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://genforum.genealogy.com/australia/southaustralia/messages/1588.html 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I519524 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 416 Elsie Greening died aged 58 yrs on 29 Oct 1957, mother of Reg and Marjory; also Thomas Victor Siostrom died aged 80 on 27 July 1965 (1). On the “All Greening” Birth Index at GenealogySA, Elsie Crowden Kitson and Edward George Greening were the parents of Margory Ellen Greening born 1924 in the Daly District – the only child found on the GenealogySA birth index to these parents (2). On the Elsie Kitson Birth Index, Elsie Crowder Kitson was born 1899 to parents William John Kitson and Ellen Ann Green in the Port Gawler District (2). On the Elsie Kitson Marriage Index, Elsie Crowder Kitson married Edward George John James Greening in 1922 in Adelaide (2). As we learned in Note 415, Edward George John James Greening was b1901 in the Port Gawler District to parents Julian John James Greening and Alice Stacey. But their marriage was only brief: “Decrees Absolute: Sitting in the Full Court on Tuesday, the Chief Justice (Sir George Murray) and Mr Justice Richards granted decrees absolute in the following divorce cases: ......... Elsie Crowder Greening against Edward George John James Greening.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 30 March 1927 p21 (3). It is unclear why Elsie is buried under the Greening surname if she remarried, and why she is alongside Thomas Victor Siostrom; they obviously weren’t siblings but maybe there is a more distant relative link or they may have been an item. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Elsie Crowden Kitson was born on 22 Jul 1899 in Gawler to parents William John Kitson and Ellen Ann Green (4). The headstone says mother of Reg and Marjory, but I cannot find any births of a Greening with the name Reg, nor a Reg
Siostrom birth to an Elsie Crowden __. So this remains a mystery. However there is further discussion about the Greenings in Notes 4-4, 415 and 746. The LDS website tells us that Thomas Victor Siostrom was born on 26 Apr 1885 in Gawler to parents Jan Vecktor Petr Siostrom (b1853, died 21 Oct 1907 Gawler) and Mary Margaret Fry (b1855, died 2 Oct 1903 Willaston SA), who had married on 10 Jun 1877 in Gawler (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greening_elsie.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/73657345?searchTerm=%22Edward%20George%22%20Greening&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I64553 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I71617&tree=SouthAustralia 417 This simple plaque reads Barthomomew Greig 11-3-1985 (1). Should the surname be Barthomomew with first name ‘Grieg’, as most headstones have the surname at the top. If so, it probably should be on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, not the “G” page. Could it be Bartholomew, instead of Barthomomew? GenealogySA has no records for a Barthomomew Greig, Grieg, or Greg, Creig, Crieg or Creg. Likewise “All Greig” searches on Birth Index, Marriage Index and Death Index has no Bart first names. Are the two names both forenames with an unknown surname? Is the plaque attached to a family gravesite which might give a clue? FamilySearch on LDS’s Community Trees only has Bartolome Bernardo Antonio Griego [1761 – 1780] from Santa Fe, New Mexico (2) and of course he isn’t buried at Willaston Cemetery. There are no matches for Barthomomew Greig at all on a Trove search of Australian newspapers (3). Is this a commemoration of a stillbirth, too recent to show on the websites? There are some Bartholomew surnames at Willaston cemetery, but none likely to be misspelt from Greig (4). There’s nothing on the Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices for a relevant Greig, Grieg, Bartholomew or Bathomomew (5). A search on the National Archives of Australia website has a Walter Greig Bartholomew with a 1917 – 1918 file relating to the Will of a deceased member of the military (6). The Australian WWI Anzacs website ‘The AIF Project’ shows that Walter Greig Bartholomew who was born in Gravesend, England was a single labourer aged 36 years when he enlisted on 3 March 1917 in the Australian Army, citing as next of kin his father John Bartholomew, North End Farm, Betsham, South Fleet, England. Private Bartholomew was in 46th Battalion, 9th Reinforcement, embarking from Melbourne Vic on board HMAT A11 Ascanius on 11 May 1917, although the WWI Nominal Roll says he was transferred to 59th Battalion. He was Killed in Action aged 37 yrs on 15 June 1918 and is buried Mericourt L'Abbe Communal Cemetery Extension (Plot III, Row C, Grave No. 7), France. Prior to his death he had been awarded the Military Medal. He also was awarded the British War Medal, and Victory Medal (7). How this is related is not at all clear, but it’s the closest I’ve got to linking the name, even if just to Victoria. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greig_barthomomew.jpg 2 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I89699&tree=Early_NM_Marrs 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q=Barthomomew+Greig 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 6 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=31383872&isAv=N 7 https://www.aif.adfa.edu.au/showPerson?pid=15218 418 Constance Gridley died 1-3-71 (1). Her headstone is at the base of a much older headstone that seems to say __ Alice Pomeroy but I cannot read the other details, but she maybe died __ July 1918. The Constance Gridley Death Index at GenealogySA shows that her full name was Constance Degmar Gridley who died in Gawler in 1971 but no nominated relative was shown (2). On the Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in The Advertiser, Constance (Babs) Gridley’s funeral notice was shown on 2 March 1971, and we know now she was called Babs (3). The ‘all Pomeroy’ Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Rosamond Alice Pomeroy died in Gawler in 1948 {and clearly the __ Alice Pomeroy on the headstone}, with her nominated relative her husband William Albert Pomeroy. In turn, William Albert Pomeroy died in Gawler in 1970, with nominated relative his deceased wife Rosamond Alice Pomeroy (2). There is no William Albert Pomeroy Marriage Index at GenealogySA but the ‘all Pomeroy’ Birth Index shows that he was born in the Daly District in 1892 to parents Richard Pomeroy and Catherine Owen (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that William Albert Pomeroy was born on 27 Jun 1892 at Moonta Mines, Moonta SA to Richard Pomeroy and Catherine Owen (4), but no other linking information is given. “English Arrivals Staying at Wards Belt: In London during Blitz: Staying at Wards Belt with Mr and Mrs Bert Atyeo are Mr and Mrs WA Pomeroy and Miss Gridley who arrived from England on the Strathaird a fortnight ago. A brother to Mrs Atyeo, Mr Pomeroy and his wife went home to England just before war broke out in 1939. They were in London during the blitz, and last year their home was flooded out when parts of England were inundated. Bill Pomeroy has already renewed acquaintance with Gawler men who were in the 10th Battalion during World War I. With his brother Dick he enlisted from Moonta. Miss Gridley is his sister-in-law who intends taking a position in Adelaide. Mr and Mrs Pomeroy expect to settle in South Australia” Bunyip, Friday 12 March 1948 p6 (5). This tells us that William Albert Pomeroy was an Australian-born man from Moonta who fought in WWI. He had married an English girl Rosamond Alice Gridley, sister of Constance (Babs) Degmar Gridley. Just after she came home Rosamond Alice Pomeroy nee Gridley died: “Pomeroy: On July 12, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Rosamond Alice, dearly beloved wife of William Albert Pomeroy, late of Moonta Mines, and loved sister of Miss Babs Gridley, of London, aged 53 years” The Advertiser, Tuesday 13 July 1948 p8 (6). That Constance Gridley had been in Australia previously is shown by: “Surprise party at Port Lincoln: A surprise party was given to Mrs Pomeroy. The evening was spent in dancing, games and cards. A solo dance was given by Miss Babs Gridley. Supper was served, and Mrs Pomeroy cut the cake and made a speech” Advertiser and Register, Monday 27 July 1931 p10 (7). “Found Her Friends: Miss Constance Gridley (Willaston) found her Adelaide friends through this column. ... Miss Gridley told me how she returned to England in 1938, was in the Air Ministry and went through all the bombing. She and her sister, Mrs WA Pomeroy, of Willaston, went back for a holiday, but Mrs Pomeroy died three months after she returned in 1939[sic]. Miss Gridley is now at Mr Pomeroy's home; a builder and contractor, he was formerly at Moonta” The Advertiser, Thursday 3 July 1952 p4 (8). She returned to Australia after the war: “English Lady says Aust. a Wonderful Country: Tells Sheaoak Log Ladies of Wartime London: Recently arrived from England, Miss Gridley, who addressed Sheaoak Log Bureau members at their meeting on Wednesday of last week, said she was pleased to be .in Australia — it was indeed a wonderful country— and she hoped to stay here permanently. Her talk to the large audience, which included three visitors and one new member, was about England during World War II. Miss Gridley lived in London and knew at first hand of the untold miseries the people suffered in bombing raids. . One story she told was about crowds rushing for shelter in an underground railway station when a lady carrying an infant fell in the rush and as a consequence of the many people who then tripped or fell and halted others, over 500 were killed. Miss Gridley said the 'doodle-bugs' were terrifying, but the rockets worse. With tears in her eyes she continued her experiences — how on more than one occasion she nearly lost her life, and how her home was bombed to a heap of rubble. ... She showed the Sheaoak Log ladies cuttings from newspapers to bear out her statements, fragments of
bombs, aluminium tape, a piece of iron which nearly caused her death, and other war relics. A medal she displayed had been presented to her for being the first to complete a war savings group effort— Miss Gridley was the first person in London to receive such award. A card from Mrs Churchill thanked her for relief work when the Thames overflowed and the Red Cross gave assistance. ....” Bunyip, Friday 5 November 1948 p1 (9). No other details, she didn’t marry, and no luck with LDS on finding an English root, under the name Gridley, or her brother-in-law Pomeroy. So no luck with her age, and cannot see her Gawler Burial Register record. There is no mention of her on the National Archives of Australia, so presumably she stayed British 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gridley_constance.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I185690 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96846117?searchTerm=Gridley%20Pomeroy&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43774420?searchTerm=Babs%20Gridley&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/74665765?searchTerm=Babs%20Gridley&searchLimits= 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47422457?searchTerm=Constance%20Connie%20Gridley&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96847260?searchTerm=Gridley&searchLimits=l-title=371 419 The military headstone of Sapper AT Groom, Royal Australian Engineers, states that he died aged 58 yrs on 20 November 1964, husband of Rosine, father of Benita and Viola (1). His estimated year of birth of c1906 means he was probably in WWII. A search of “A Groom” on the World War Two Nominal Roll shows only one AT Groom, and this was Alfred Thomas Groom who was born on 16 Jul 1906 in London, England and was living in Mannum SA when he enlisted on 23 Feb 1942 in Adelaide SA in the Australian Army, citing as next of kin his wife Mrs Rosine Groom. Private Groom was discharged on 20 Jan 1944 from 108 Light Anti Aircraft Regiment RAA (2). The Alfred Groom Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Alfred Thomas Groom was married in Adelaide in 1934 to Ruth Nancy Geue (3), which is not whom I was expecting from the headstone. His Death Index says that when he died in Gawler in 1964, the nominated relative was his wife RE Groom, not RN Groom (3). This can be explained by this 1941 newspaper report: “Supreme [Court]: Orders nisi for divorce were granted yesterday to plaintiffs in the following undefended actions: ..... Alfred Thomas Groom, farm laborer, of Mannum, against Ruth Nancy Groom, of Free street Norwood, on the ground of misconduct with Peter Steinweldel, of Gover street, North Adelaide” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Wednesday 24 September 1941 p11 (4). So after the divorce, he must have married Rosina E Groom but I cannot find a Newspaper Notice for this. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/groom_a.t..jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=680815 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44958469?searchTerm=%22Ruth%20Nancy%22%20Groom&searchLimits= 420 Flora Joyce Grosser died on 2 Jan 1996, wife of Colin, mother of Mark, nee [Flora?] Joyce Coulter (1), but no age is given. There is no Colin Grosser Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so perhaps was his second name, but the ‘all Grosser’ Marriage Index doesn’t show such a union either. A search on Trove of “Coulter Grosser” shows their marriage on 24 Dec 1949: “Moonstone satin for bridal gown .... will be worn by Joyce Coulter, of Gawler, for her wedding next Saturday with Colin Grosser, of Rugby. They will be married in Tod Street Methodist Church, Gawler at 4.30 pm. Joyce will have Lorn Griffiths, and the groom's 13-year old niece, Mary Leonard, as her attendants. Bernard Jaensch will be best man. ...... Joyce is the daughter of Mrs CF Coulter, of Gawler, and the late Mr Coulter, and Colin is the son of Mrs EM Grosser, of Rugby, and the late Mr Grosser. Bride and groom have a flat at Fullarton to move into after their three weeks' honeymoon in the Murray River district” The Mail (Adelaide), Saturday 17 December 1949 p37 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Flora Joyce Coulter was born on 19 Mar 1921 in Gawler SA to parents Herbert Henry Coulter and Clara Flora Klaebe (3), making her aged 74 yrs when she died on 2 Jan 1996. A son, possibly Mark Grosser {as only one child is mentoned on her headstone}, is born: “Birth: Grosser (nee Coulter): On May 8th, at Queen Victoria Maternity Hospital to Joyce and Colin, a son” The Bunyip, Friday 16 May 1952 p2 (4). Interestingly, this limerick was printed in the newspaper Junior’s section by 14 years old Joyce Coulter in 1935, confirming her year of birth as 1921: “So Forgetful: A forgetful young fellow named Fred, Shut his wife in the bicycle shed. Then he hung up the cat, Gently put out his hat, And took up his pushbike to bed. Joyce Coulter (14 years) 15 Edith street, Gawler”. The Mail (Adelaide), Saturday 26 October 1935 p7 Supplement (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/grosser_flora_joyce_%28nee_coulter%29.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/55781829?searchTerm=Coulter%20Grosser&searchLimits= 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I476711 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96897261?searchTerm=Coulter%20Grosser&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/55721115?searchTerm=Coulter%20Joyce&searchLimits= 421 Mary Cockburn Gullan died aged 34 yrs on 21 June 1884; an infant child of J&M Cullan aged 1 month died; and Robert Gordon Gullan aged 9 months died (1). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says the infant was named Margaret Gullan, and also that Mary Cockburn Gullan was 35 years old. How does the “G” page know the infant’s name and the years that the infants died? None of this can be seen on the headstone in the photo. Also the headstone says Mary Cockburn Gullan was 34 yrs old, not 35 (2). If the years of death on the “G” data page are correct, then the children buried here cannot be children of Mary Cockburn Gullan, who died several years earlier than they were born. Mary Gullan’s death: “Gullan: On the 21st June, at Murray-street, Gawler, Mary, wife of Jas Gullan, after a long and painful illness, aged 35 years” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 27 June 1884 p2 (3), indicating that Mary was 35 yrs old, or maybe in her 35th year, making her year of birt c1849-50. The ‘all Gullan’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows the birth of 9 children, all born in the Barossa District, and all having the father James Gullan. Firstly, the 5 children born to James Gullan and Mary Cockburn Henderson [1] James Gullan b1875; [2] Ann Gullan b1877; [3] Jane Denman Gullan b1879; [4] Mary Edina Gullan b1881; [5] Elizabeth Roberta Gullan b1882. The 4 children born to James Gullan and Margaret Smith were [6] Margaret Gullan b1886; [7] Robert Gordon Gullan b1887; [8] Beatrice Gullan b1888; [9] Ellen Aubery Gullen[sic] b1890 (4). James marries his second wife Margaret Smith: “Marriage. Gullan— Smith: On the 6th August, at Gawler, at the residence of the bride's father, by the Rev J Gordon, James Gullan, of Gawler, to Margaret, second daughter of Gustaf Smith, of Bassett Town” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 14 August 1885 p2 (5). This has to be Margaret Gullan’s birth notice: “Births: Gullan: On the 5th March, at Gawler, the wife of James Gullan, of a daughter” Bunyip, Friday 12 March 1886 p2 (6). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people confirms that Margaret Gullan was born on 5 Mar 1886 in Gawler to parents James Gullan and Margaret Smith (7). The Town of Gawler website tells us that Margaret Gullan aged 1 month from Gawler was buried on 4 April 1886 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 35 D 2, with Rev JAS Gordon officiating (8), so she most likely died the day before her burial {ie, on 3 April 1886}, although I could not find a corroborative
death notice for her. The poignancy of it is that the two children buried with Mary C Gullan are not any of her five, but are from James’ later marriage to Margaret Smith. Back on RootsWeb, we find that Robert Gordon Gullan was born on 29 Sept 1887 in Gawler to parents James Gullan and Margaret Smith (9). Robert Gordon Gullan’s death: “Gullan: On the 26th June, at Gawler, Robert Gordon, the infant boy of J and M Gullan, aged 9 months” Bunyip, Friday 29 June 1888 p2 (10). According to the LDS website, James Gullan was born in 1847 to father William Gullan. James married twice. He was first married before 1875 to Mary Cockburn Henderson, and their children were: [1] James Gullan born 22 Dec 1875 Gawler; [2] Ann Gullan born 1 Nov 1877 Gawler; [3] Jane Denman Gullan born 21 Apr 1879 Gawler; [4] Mary Edina Gullan born 15 Jan 1881 Gawler; [5] Elizabeth Roberta Gullan born 9 Sep 1882 Gulf View nr Gawler. Mary died in 1884 and James was married for the second time on 6 Aug 1885 in Gawler to Margaret Smith b1865 (11). Back on RootsWeb, the only Margaret Smith born in 1865 was born on 23 Oct 1865 in Yatalunga SA to parents Gustav Smith and Bridget Beaty (12), which matches her father’s name on the Marriage Notice (5), with slight spelling variation. Sadly, Mrs Margaret Gullan’s death: Gullan: On the 12th February, at Gawler, Margaret, dearly-beloved wife of James Gullan, aged 27” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 17 February 1893 p2 (13). Turning to the quest for the date of birth of James Gullan’s first wife, we found the LDS website didn’t know (11). On a Google search of James Gullan and Mary Cockburn Henderson, the website Geni has Mary Cockburn Gullan (Henderson) being born in the UK on 25 July 1845, and she died on 22 June 1884 in Gawler, after having 7 children [1] William Gullan; James Gullan; Anne Lennox Sibley nee Gullan; Jane Penman Gullan; Mary Edina Gullan; Elizabeth Roberts Gullan and John Gullan, which is 2 more than we had previously known (14). However, if this date of birth is correct, she was 4 or 5 yrs older than earlier stated, so I’d need convincing that this is correct. At this stage, I’ll rely on the mass of evidence saying she was either 34 or 35 yrs old, and not 39 yrs old. Returning to the Geni website, where it says that James Gullan was born on 18 Feb 1847 Edinburgh UK and died on 13 January 1910 in Perth WA (15). On the website for migrant ships in the 19th century ‘The Ships List’ has the ship Earl Dalhousie of 1,047 tons, Captain David Jarvis, from London via Plymouth on 4 Dec 1874, arrived at Port Adelaide SA on 23 Feb 1875. Amongst the United Kingdom Assisted Passage passengers was the family of James Gullan, a 27 year old baker from Scotland, his wife Mary Cockburn Gullan nee Henderson aged 25 {more evidence that she was born in 1849}; and their children William aged 2 years and John an infant (16). James Gullan Snr dies: “Gullan: On January 11, 1910, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs F Liddelow Cannington, James Gullan, senr, late of the Empire Bakery, West Perth, the dearly beloved husband of Mrs EA Gullan, aged 62 years, after a long and patient illness” The West Australian (Perth), Wednesday 12 January 1910 p1 (17), not on the 13th as Geni states. It also says indirectly that James Gullan had married for the third time. Mrs Gullan III’s funeral “The funeral of the late Mrs Emma Ann Gullan, relict of the late Mr James Gullan, of the Empire Bakery, Perth, took place yesterday (Thursday) afternoon in the Congregational portion of the Karrakatta Cemetery. The cortege, which moved from the, residence of her daughter, Mrs EE Williams, 156 Palrherston-street, Perth, was very largely attended.

The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has left her age blank (2) (quite understandably), but she seems to have been in her 80s, maybe 81 or 85. The Elizabeth Anne Gunn Death Index at GenealogySA confirms her 1953 death in Gawler, and with the nominated relative, her late husband Walter Henry Gunn (3). The Walter Gunn Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Walter Henry Gunn was married in Adelaide in 1915 to Elizabeth Ann[sic] Johns (3). The ‘all Gunn’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Walter Henry Gunn and Elizabeth Anne Johns shows that no children were recorded to this couple in SA. Elizabeth Anne Gunn dies: “Gunn: On July 20, at the residence of her son, Mr DJ Johns, Gawler Railway, Elizabeth Anne Gunn, in her 82nd year” Chronicle, Thursday 23 July 1953 p38 (4). This tells us that she was 81 yrs old when she died, making her year of birth c1872, but why is her son called DJ Johns, using her maiden name? The “D Johns” Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Elizabeth Ann Johns had a son Douglas James Johns in 1900 Adelaide, with the father’s name not recorded (3). The Douglas Johns Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Douglas James Johns was married in 1923 in the Hindmarsh District to Ruby Alice Nicholls (3), and the Ruby Nicholls Birth Index shows that Ruby Alice Nicholls was born in Adelaide in 1899 to parents Arthur Henry Nicholls and Alice Louisa Swift (3). On the LDS website, Walter Henry Gunn was born 31 Jan 1870 in Stirling East SA to parents Francis James Gunn (born 4 Aug 1845 North Adelaide and died 27 Nov 1895 Adelaide) and Eliza Vick (b1847 and died 31 May 1912 Adelaide), who had married on 30 Nov 1866 North Adelaide. Walter Henry Gunn aged 45 yrs was married on 4 Sep 1915 in Adelaide to Elizabeth Ann Johns who was born in 1875[sic] (5). Still using LDS data, Elizabeth Ann Johns was born in 1875[sic] to father George Johns (6). The Elizabeth Johns Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that there are 6 Elizabeth Ann / Annie Johns recorded births in SA between 1858 and 1889, all of whom are possibly the one in question. All six fathers involved have different first names. The most likely of the six to fit the dates is Elizabeth Annie Johns who was born in Adelaide in 1871 to parents George Johns and Jane Johns[sic] (3), despite what the LDS says about her birth in 1875. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Elizabeth Annie Johns was born on 1 Oct 1871 in Adelaide to parents George Johns and Jane Johns (7), showing that she was indeed 81 yrs old, in her 82nd year, when she died. Walter Henry Gunn dies in 1924, as shown by these death notices all appearing on the same day “Gunn: In fond memory of our dear father, Walter Henry Gunn, who died at Clarence Park, July 24,
1924, inserted by his loving son and daughter-in-law, Roy and Ida”; “Gunn: In loving memory of my dear husband, Walter Henry Gunn, who died at Clarence Park, July 24, 1924, inserted by his loving wife, EA Gunn”; and “Gunn: In loving memory of dear Pop, who passed away July 24th, 1924, inserted by Ruby and Doug” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 1 August 1925 p20 (8). I’m not sure about Roy and Ida, but EA Gunn is clearly Elizabeth Annie Gunn, and Ruby and Doug would be Ruby Alice and Douglas James Johns. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gunn_elizabeth_anne.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93942073?searchTerm=Walter%20Gunn&searchLimits= 5 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I268640&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I268643&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I76390 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/89629710?searchTerm=Walter%20Gunn&searchLimits= 423 Private Philip Gawler Guy, 10th Battalion, AIF, was killed in action at Crepy Wood, France on 10 August 1918, aged 29 yrs, and was buried at Heath British Cemetery, France (1). The Gawler WWI Honour Roll says that Philip G Guy was born on 10 Feb 1889, son of Philip Guy and Louisa Guy nee Pilgrim of Daly St, Gawler. Previously a turner by trade, he enlisted on 1 Feb 1916. He’s buried in Heath Cemetery, Harbonnieres, France [Plot VII, Row C, Grave 15] and remembered in Gawler, plus on the Australian War Memorial Commemorative Area – Panel 59 (2). On their headstone, Philip Guy died aged 85 yrs on 25 July 1922; his wife Louisa Guy died aged 95 years on 11 Jan 1936, and they share another of the 4-side headstone with Private Philip Gawler Guy (3). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Philip Guy was 35 yrs when he died in 1922 (4), but it really looks like 85 yrs to me, especially when you magnify the photo, and similarly his wife Louisa Guy was said to die aged 35 yrs in 1936 (4), but that age looks more like 95 yrs to me. If I am correct, this makes their years of birth for Philip c1837 and for Louisa born c1841. The 1922 Death Notice for Philip Guy “Guy: On the 25th July, at his residence, 'Liskeard' Daly Street, Gawler, Philip, the beloved husband of Louisa Guy, in his 85th year” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 28 July 1922 p2 (5). The 1922 Obituary for Mr Philip Guy: “Mr Philip Guy, who died at Gawler recently, was born in the parish of Liskheard, Cornwall, on November 30, 1837, and arrived in Adelaide in 1864, going at once to Gawler. He started a bootmaking business in Murray-street and after 30 years of successful business life, he retired to enjoy a well-earned rest. He joined the Oddfellows’ MU lodge when he first reached Gawler, and was a member until his death. He was a member of the Methodist Church, and filled many offices in connection with it, being a trustee of the Willaston Methodist Church for many years. He leaves a widow, one son, and five daughters, 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. One son, the younger, was killed in France” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 5 August 1922 p45 (6). The 1936 Obituary for Mrs Louisa Guy: “The late Mrs Louisa Guy, who died following an accident three days after she had attained her 95th birthday; was one of Gawler's early settlers. She was born at Brixhall, County Suffolk, England, on January 8, 1841, and arrived at Port Adelaide on the sailing ship Bolivar in January 1850, accompanying her parents and her brothers. The family made its home in North Adelaide for several years; but on losing her mother when only 12 years old, she lived with friends, Mr and Mrs Annells, who later came to Gawler. From her 17th year Mrs Guy spent most of her life in Gawler. Mr Philip Guy came to Gawler in 1864, and four years later started in business on his own account. Mr and Mrs Guy were married in the old Tod street Methodist Church, and, with others, helped to build the present Methodist Church. Her husband predeceased her by 13 years. Mrs Guy had seven children, two being deceased. There are 12 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchiidren” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 5 March 1936 p16 (7). To confirm this, we find this family on the LDS website, which tells us that Philip Guy was born 30 Nov 1837 Liskeard, Cornwall, England and died 25 Jul 1922 SA and is buried at Willaston. His parents were Philip Kettlewell Guy and Susan Guy nee Strong. Philip Guy arrived in 1864 on the Utopia, his occupation was a bootmaker, resided in Gawler and was a Methodist. He married twice. His first marriage was on 16 Nov 1865 in Gawler to Martha Amelia Farrant [b1845 and died 23 Jun 1866 Gawler]. They had a son Joseph Guy born 11 May 1866 Gawler, and died 1 Dec 1866. He then was married to Louisa Ellen Pilgrim on 7 Nov 1867 in Gawler. Louisa Ellen Pilgrim was born 8 Jan 1841 Buxhall SFK England to parents Thomas Pilgrim and Louisa Cooper, and she died on 11 Jan 1936. The children of Philip Guy and Louisa Ellen Pilgrim were [1] Louisa Ellen Bywater nee Guy born 10 Aug 1868 Gawler and died 22 Aug 1940 Rosewater SA; [2] Martha Amelia Guy born 7 Dec 1870 Gawler, and died in 1954; [3] Susanna Guy born 19 Aug 1873 Gawler; [4] Joseph Kettlewell Guy born 8 Oct 1875 Gawler; [5] Annie Elizabeth Guy born 24 Oct 1878 Gawler; [6] Edith Pilgrim Guy born 10 Dec 1881 Gawler, and died 1956; [7] Philip Gawler Guy born 10 Feb 1889 Gawler and died 1918 WWI France (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/guy_philip_gawler.jpg 2 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/g.html 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/guy_philip_&_louisa.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97756563?searchTerm=philip guy&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87431044?searchTerm=philip guy&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92338279?searchTerm=louisa guy&searchLimits= 8 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I237948&tree=SouthAustralia 424 Dennis Hugh Gwynne died aged 80 yrs on 9 Dec 05, son of ‘the above’ which isn’t shown (1). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he died in 1905, which is quite understandable as the headstone doesn’t give the full year, but my inclination is that he died in 2005, not 1905, based on the fact that the headstone looks very recent, the wording sounds modern, and also his name doesn’t sound like one given to a child in c1825. If the parents of Dennis Hugh Gwynne born in c1825 are buried in Willaston and whose names appear above his, then where are they mentioned on the “G” data page? Their birth years would have to have been very early 19th if not late 18th century, but none are to be seen. The Dennis Gwynne Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that a Dennis Hugh Gwynne was born in Adelaide in 1925 to parents Roy Thomas Gwynne and Beatrice Anna Greenland Leeder (2), who both are buried in Willaston Cemetery [see a discussion of them at Note 670. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper shows one for Dennis Hugh Gwynne on 14 Dec 2005 (3), shortly after the death date of Dennis Hugh Gwynne on the headstone. “Births: Gwynne (nee Beatrice Leeder): On the 15th July, at Berklea, Prospect road, to Mr and Mrs RT Gwynne, of Rosetta street, Collinswood — a son (Dennis Hugh)” The Register (Adelaide), Saturday 18 July 1925 p8 (4). The chances are very small that all this evidence is coincidental. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gwynne_dennis_hugh.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/57297043?searchTerm=leeder gwynne&searchLimits=
425 HGE Haertel was born on 21 Oct 1932 and died on 17 Jul 1998, a special friend of Irene (1), making his age at death 65 years. The ‘All Haertel’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA has no record of HGE Haertel, but the ‘all Haertel’ Death Index whilst not showing HGE’s death, it shows that when Lorna Haertel died in the Hindmarsh District in 1972, the nominated relative was her husband George Helmut Erich Haertel (2). This GHE Haertel is surely our HGE Haertel, still living in 1972 when Lorna died, later to become a “special friend of Irene”. On the Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper, it says that there was one for Lorna Haertel on the 9 June 1972, and one for George Haertell[sic] on 21 July 1998 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haertel_h.g.e..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html 426 Evelyn EF Haire [1914-1984] was the wife of Jim Haire [1920-1992], and they were the parents of Bryonie and Ashleigh (1). The ‘all Haire’ Newspaper Death Notices Index at GenealogySA shows notices for Evelyn Edith Florence (Jean) Haire in the Advertiser in 1984, and those for James Albert (Jim) Haire in the 1992 Advertiser (2), but there’s precious little else at GenealogySA on this pair, at least not under those names. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the only ‘Evelyn Edith Florence’ born in SA in 1914 was Evelyn Edith Florence Siebert who was born on 29 Jan 1914 in Yorketown SA to parents August Albert Siebert and Edith Augusta Raneberg (3). The obituary for “Mr Albert August Siebert, who died suddenly at his residence, Wasleys, on January 30, aged 83 years, was born at Pinkerton Plains (near Wasleys) and was the third child of the late Mr and Mrs FFA Siebert, of Yorketown. His early life was spent farming and salt carting on Yorke Peninsula. In 1911 he married Edith Augusta Raneberg, a daughter of the late Mr and Mrs JJ Raneberg, of Wasleys. In 1921, with his wife and family, he returned to Wasleys, where he conducted a butcher and bakery business until his death. He is survived by his wife, three sons, Messrs Reginald, Russell and Lionel Siebert, and one daughter, Evelyn (Mrs JA Haire)” The Advertiser, Tuesday 26 February 1952 p6 (4), confirming the information on RootsWeb. Unfortunately, just as in the case of James Albert Haire, there’s no record of a marriage on the Evelyn Siebert Marriage Index at GenealogySA either (2), but once again, the newspaper comes to our rescue: “Bride-to-be Miss Evelyn Siebert, only daughter of Mr and Mrs AA Siebert, Wasleys, [has] hand painted place cards for the reception after her wedding tomorrow to Mr James A Haire, eldest son of Mr and Mrs NJ Haire, Plympton, in St George's Church of England, Wasleys. .....” The News, (Adelaide), Friday 22 September 1944 p5 (5). I cannot find details of the birth of James Albert Haire on RootsWeb or on GenaelogySA. On a website of RootsWeb called ‘The Buscumb Family Tree’ it says that James Albert Haire was born in 1920 and died on 18 Feb 1992, his wife was Evelyn Edith Florence Siebert who was born 1914 and died in 1984 (6), at least giving us his date of death. To be 72 yrs old when he died, he must have been born before 18 Feb 1920. James Albert Haire is not mentioned on the World War Two Nominal Roll. The only NJ Haire on RootsWeb is Norman James Haire who was born on 4 Jan 1898 in Goodwood, Adelaide to parents Leopold Francis Albert Haire and Catherine Mary Murnane (7). The Norman Haire Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Norman James Anderson Haire was married in Adelaide in 1919 to Ruby Annie Nelson (2). But there are no records of any births of children at GenealogySA. On a Tripod website we read the “Branson Family History”, Annie Ruby Nelson was born at Broken Hill on 22 Nov 1898. She married Norman James Haire about 1919. Norman was born at Goodwood, South Australia on 4th January 1898, the son of Leopold Francis Haire and Catherine Mary nee Murnane. Norman died in 1955. Annie died at Daw Park, South Australia on 17 Nov 1980. They had four children (8). This is as far as I can go. Evelyn Edith Florence Haire nee Siebert does not appear on the Savill Index for Funeral Notices that appeared in The Advertiser, and I cannot find James Albert Haire’s precise date of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haire_evelyn_e.f._&_jim.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I654907 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47371080?searchTerm=Haire%20Evelyn&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/127043952?searchTerm=Haire%20Evelyn&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=DESC&db=denmaaron&id=I1494 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I16408 8 http://users.picknowl.com.au/~stanbatten/default.branson.htm 427 Bernard [Bern] Edward Hall died aged 58 yrs on 31 July 1975; his wife Winifred [Win] Doris Hall died aged 65 yrs on 25 Dec 1986, parents of Malcolm, Doreen, Kevin, Elaine, Lynette, Trevor and Bruce (1). There is another headstone for BE Hall, of the Royal Australian Engineers, who died aged 58 yrs on 31 July 1975 (2). For my purposes, these two entries can be combined into the one entry, as they clearly refer to the same individual. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there are two SA births with the names including ‘Winifred Doris’ in 1921 [1] Winifred Doris Dawe born 6 Apr 1921 in Gawler to parents Alfred Henry August Dawe and Helen Henrietta Amber (3), and Doris Amy Winifred Need born on 8 Jun 1921 in Peterborough SA to parents Eustace Henry Need and Doris Mary Prior Shattock (4). Which of these married Bernard Edward Hall? “Birth: Hall (nee Dawe). On February 1st, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Win and Bern — a bonny son (Kevin David).” Bunyip, Friday 11 February 1949 p2 (5), showing that it was Winifred Doris Dawe who married Bernard Edward Hall. Back on RootsWeb, Bernard Edward Hall was born on 7 Jan 1917 in Gawler to parents George Daniel Hall and Lillian Mary Hill (6). The ‘all Hall’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of George Daniel Hall and Lillian Mary Hill shows 8 children {up to 1928}, all born in the Barossa District, although 2 had the father’s name as George David Hall with same mother Lillian Mary Hill [1] Mary Josephene Hall b1912; [2] Roland Daniel George Hall b1915; [3] Bernard Edward Hall b1917; [4] Merina Lillian Hall b1920; [5] Eugene Francis Hall b1921; [6] Gerard Micheal Hall b1922; [7] Monica Pauline Hall b1924; [8] Francis James Hall b1926 (7). Four of these 8 children are buried at Willaston. On their headstone, George Daniel Hall died aged 87 yrs on 19 Sept 1971; his wife Lillian Mary Hall {nee Hill} died aged 93 yrs on 9 Oct 1983; two of their children Mary Josephine Hall died aged 4 mths on 3 March 1913; Gerald Joseph Hall died aged 19 yrs on 4 July 1949; and Merina Mary Hill died aged 72 yrs on 17 Jan 1942 (8). Merina Mary Hill may have been related to Lillian Mary Hall nee Hill. A search of RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Lillian Mary Hill was born on 13 Jan 1891 in Gawler to parents Roland John Hill and Merina Mary Wright (9), and hence Merina Mary Hill was Lillian Mary Hall’s mother. Still on RootsWeb, Mary Josephine Hall was born Mary Josephene[sic] Hall on 6 Nov 1912 in Gawler to parents George Daniel Hall and Lillian Mary Hill (10), but Gerald Joseph Hall would have been born after the genealogy website’s 1928 cut-off, so hopefully there is a Birth Notice. However, whilst searching I found: that Gerald Joseph Hall died aged 18 yrs in 1950, not as the headstone says aged 19 yrs in 1949: “Hall: On July 4, at Adelaide, Gerald Joseph, dearly beloved youngest child of George and Lillian Hall, and loved brother of Rowland, Bernie, Marie, Jean, Mick, Monica and Frank, aged 18 years” The Advertiser, Thursday 6 July 1950 p18 (11). On their headstone Francis James Hall died aged 65 yrs on 22 Dec 1991; his wife Mavis Mary Hall died aged 87 yrs on 19 Oct 1999 (12), makimg their respective years of birth c1926 {as we already found above} and c1912, meaning she was 14 years older than he was. There is no Francis James Hall Marriage Index at GenealogySA. Back on RootsWeb Francis James Hall
was born on 15 May 1926 in Gawler to parents George Daniel Hall and Lillian Mary Hill (13), and George Daniel Hall was born on 20 Nov 1884 at Red Banks SA to parents George Hall and Ellen McIvor (14). Of this family group, there remains to be found the precise dates of birth for Gerald Joseph Hall and Mavis Mary Hall, the latter being even harder without knowing her maiden name. There are 21 ‘Mavis Mary’ combinations on RootsWeb born in 1912 (± 1 yr), and given their age differences, one or both may have been married before. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hall_bernard_edward__&_winifred_doris.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hall_b.e..jp 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I484695 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I605177 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96857048?searchTerm=Hall Dawe&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I523731 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/hj/hall_mary_josephine,_gerald_joseph,_george_daniel__&_lillian_mary.jpg 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I25556 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I523583 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44929946?searchTerm="Gerald Joseph" Hall&searchLimits= 12 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hall_francis_james_&_mavis_mary.jpg 13 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I523988 14 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I26385 428 Edwin Albert Hall died aged 40 years 7 Jan 1902, his wife Sarah Jane Hall died aged 79 years on 22 Nov 1942; their granddaughter Muriel Joyce Hall died 21 March 1923 aged 4 years (1), although some numbers are hard to read, and I’ve made a best guess. Fortunately my guesses match what is said on the “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). Edwin and Sarah Hall must have had at least one son to have a grandchild with the Hall surname {unless a daughter married someone coincidentally also named Hall}. The Edwin Hall Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Edwin Albert Hall was married in the Port Gawler District in 1884 to Sarah Jane Pratt (3). The ‘all Hall’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Edwin Albert Hall and Sarah Jane Pratt shows 7 births, the first in the Gilbert District, the others all in the Barossa District, the mother is always Sarah Jane Pratt but father is twice named Edwin Albert Hall, and five times he was Edward, 4 times with the middle name Albert as well. These children are [1] Percival Edwin Hall b1885; [2] Florance Gertrude Hall b1887; [3] Ethel May Hall b1888; [4] Ann Charlotte Hall b1890; [5] Ivy Myrtle Hall b1892; [6] Olive Grace Hall b1894; [7] Muriel Daisy Hall b1897 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Edwin Albert Hall was born on 7 Mar 1861 in Golden Grove SA to parents Edwin Hall and Hannah Broadway (4), Muriel Joyce Hall was born on 26 Jul 1918 in Gawler to parents Percival Edwin Hall and Martha Julia Richards (5), and Sarah Jane Pratt was born on 18 Jun 1864 in Port Gawler to parents James Pratt and Ann Verner (6). According to the LDS website, Edwin Hall {Edwin Albert Hall’s father} was born to father Edward Hall in 1831 in England, and died on 29 Sep 1909 nr Two Wells SA. Edwin Hall aged 25 yrs was married on 14 Oct 1856 at Little Para SA to Hannah Charlotte Broadway aged 20 yrs (born in 1836 England, died on 13 Jan 1881 at Port Gawler). The children of Edwin Hall and Hannah Charlotte Broadway were [1] Annie Hall born 13 Aug 1858 Golden Grove SA, died 8 Dec 1865 Port Gawler; [2] Edwin Albert Hall born 7 Mar 1861 Golden Grove; [3] Emily Racheal Hall born 17 Mar 1867 Port Gawler; [4] Thomas Hall born 29 Apr 1869 Port Gawler; [5] Samuel Hall born 26 Feb 1872 nr Two Wells SA; [6] Edward Hall born 7 Apr 1874 Redbanks SA; [7] Mary Louisa Hall born 7 Apr 1874 Redbanks, died 10 Apr 1874 nr Redbanks; [8] Earnest Edward Hall born 5 Jun 1877 Redbanks; [9] Albert Hall born 5 Feb 1881 Port Gawler, died 10 Mar 1881 Port Gawler (7). On their headstone, Samuel Hall died aged 77 yrs on 30 May 1949; his wife Mary Ann Hall died aged 83 yrs on 6 June 1965 (8). Back to the LDS website, there is further information on the family of Edwin Hall and Hannah Charlotte Broadway. The father of Hannah Charlotte Broadway was William Broadway; [2] Edwin Albert Hall was married on 4 Dec 1884 at Reeves Plains SA to Sarah Jane Pratt; [3] Emily Racheal Hall was married on 3 Oct 1889 in Gawler to Frederick Cope; [4] Thomas Hall was married on 20 Sep 1899 in Two Wells to Elizabeth Ann Quirk; [5] Samuel Hall was married on 24 Mar 1904 in Two Wells to Mary Ann Quirk; [8] Earnest Edward Hall was married on 20 Mar 1912 in Two Wells to Martha Frost (9). And still on the LDS website, Mary Ann Quirk was born on 18 Dec 1881 at Koolunga SA to parents Timothy Quirk (born 1845) and Rebecca Baker (born 25 Jul 1852 Gawler Plains), who married on 1 Apr 1869 in Gawler. Mary Ann Quirkaged 22 yrs was married on 24 Mar 1904 in Two Wells to Samuel Hall aged 32 yrs (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hall_edwin_albert,_sarah_jane_&_muriel_joyce.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I24054 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I523783 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I188755 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I138523&tree=SouthAustralia 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hall_samuel_&_mary_ann.jpg 9 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F41137&tree=SouthAustralia 10 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I73397&tree=SouthAustralia 429 Lawrence W Hallam died aged 64 yrs on 23 Feb 1973, husband of Sylvia (1). Sylvia Madge Hallam was born on 27 Dec 1911 and died aged 91 yrs on 15 Apr 2003, the wife of Lawrence William Hallam, mother of Janet and Rosemary (2). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser shows one for Lawrence William Hallam on 24 Feb 1973 (3), confirming the correctness of headstone date of death. The Lawrence Hallam Birth Index at GenealogySA reveals that Lawrence William Hallam was born in the Norwood District in 1908 to parents William Kerr Hallam and Winnifred Alice Badman (4), and the Lawrence Hallam Marriage Index shows Lawrence William Hallam was married in the Barossa District in 1932 to Sylvia Madge Hissey (4). His parent’s wedding notice: “Marriages: HallamBadman. On the 23rd March, at Giles' Corner, by Rev WH Hanton, William Kerr, fifth son of the late Wm Hallam, to Winnifred Alice (Winnie), eldest daughter of M Badman Esq, Claremont, Tarlee” The Advertiser, Friday 22 April 1904 p4 (5), and his wedding notice: Wedding Bells: Hissey— Hallam: A very pretty wedding was celebrated on Saturday evening, July 9th, when Miss Sylvia M Hissey, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs Herman Hissey, of Sandy Creek, was married to Mr Lawrence Hallam, only son of the late Mr Wm K Hallam and Mrs Hallam of Sandy Creek. The ceremony took place in the Congregational Church, Sandy Creek, ..... Rev Willett Bevan MA ... organist Miss Avis White. .... Miss May Hissey (sister of the bride), the Maid in Attendance .... train bearer Erica Price .... Mr K Andrews, of Smithfield (cousin of the bridegroom) was Best Man. ...

p10 (6). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Lawrence William Hallam was born on 7 May 1908 in St Peters, Adelaide to parents William Kerr Hallam and Winnifred Alice Badman (7), and Sylvia Madge Hissey was born on 27 Dec 1911 in the Barossa District to parents Hermann Hissey and Jessie Amelia MacKenzie (8), confirming her birth date on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hallam_lawrence_w.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hallam_sylvia_madge.jpg 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/4963370?searchTerm=Hallam%20Badman&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96681806?searchTerm=Hallam%20Hissey&searchLimits= 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I524061 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I538537 Private W Halligan {Service № WX28260; 28th Infantry Battalion} died aged 57 on 17 Sept 1981 (1). William Halligan died 17 Sept 1981, husband of May, and father of Wayne and Anne, grandfather of Deborah, Melissa, Rachael and Stephanie (2). This would be too much of a coincidence not to be the same person, and I have combined the two entries into a one line entry. There is no William Halligan Birth Index or Marriage Index at GenealogySA. On the World War Two Nominal Roll, William Halligan was born on 21 Feb 1923 at New Norcia WA and was living there when he enlisted on 21 Jul 1942 in the Australian Army, with Service Number WX28260 and next of kin William Halligan {?father}. Signalman William Halligan was discharged on 17 Jan 1946 from 28 Australian Infantry Battalion (3). This is definitely the William Halligan from WA, with the same service number unique to him. According to the National Archives of Australia website, there seems to have been 3 brothers who served in WWII, all citing as next of kin William Halligan: [1] Maurice William Halligan {WX31835} born 07 Nov 1919 at New Norcia WA; [2] Keith Ross Halligan {WX32656} born 09 Jun 1922 in Perth WA; [3] William Halligan {WX28260} born 21 Feb 1923 at New Norcia WA (4). If his military date of birth is correct, he was 58 years old when he died, a year older than stated on his headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/halligan_w..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/halligan_william.jpg 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=762484 4 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/ItemsListing.aspx Herbert H Hamann died aged 61 yrs on 23 Feb 1970, the result of an accident; his wife Hilda Hamann died aged 70 yrs on 19 Jan 1981 (1). The Herbert H Hamann Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Herbert Heinrich Hamann was married in the Angaston District in 1933 to Florence Hilda Elix (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Herbert Heinrich Hamann was born on 26 Jan 1909 in Walton SA to parents Ernst August Hamann and Meta Alwine Schiller (3), and Florence Hilda Elix was born on 21 Apr 1910 in Daveyston SA to parents Johann Christian Adolph Elix and Anna Maria Elisabeth Linke (4). The Hedley Malcolm Hamann headstone is extremely hard to read and I’m relying on the information given on the “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, Hedley Malcolm Hamann died aged 50 yrs on 14 June 1988 (5). Although it seems very weathered to be just 25 yrs old, I think I can make out he was 50 yrs old when he died {not 58 yrs} and his wife may have been named Jean. The Hedley Hamann search on GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices Index, it confirms that Hedley Malcolm Hamann Death Notices were in the 1988 Advertiser (2). On a general Google search of Herbert Heinrich Hamann and Florence Hilda Elix reveals details of Florence Hilda Elix who was born on 21 April 1910 to parents Johann Christian Adolph Elix and Anna Maria Elizabeth Linke. Florence Hilda Elix was married to Herbert Heinrich Hamann, son of Ernst August Hamann and Meta Alwyne Schiller. Florence Hilda Hamann nee Elix died on 26 December 1996 at Willaston SA. The children of Florence Hilda Elix and Herbert Heinrich Hamann are [1] Cynthia Shirley Hamann born 17 April 1933 Nuriootpa SA; [2] Hedley Malcolm Hamann, born 14 July 1937 at Elizabeth SA, died 14 June 1988 Willaston (6). Still using this website, Herbert Heinrich Hamann was born 26 January 1909 at Tanunda SA, and died 23 February 1970 in Willaston (7). This confirms what we learned on RootsWeb and the headstone, as well as detailing the enscription of Hedley Malcolm Hamann. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hamann_herbert_h_&_hilda.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I524449 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I496356 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 6 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/a/m/Bruce-W-Hamann/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-1008.html 7 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/a/m/Bruce-W-Hamann/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0986.html John AW Hambier was born on 10 Dec 1938 and died on 19 June 1986, husband of Vi, father of Mark, Becky, Chris and Brad (1). We can calculate he was only 47 years old when he died, but we would like to know what his missing initials stand for. A search for John Hambier on the Newspaper Death Notices Index at GenealogySA shows that a notice for John Hambier appeared in the 1986 Advertiser (2), but no mention of his middle names. His name does not appear on the Savill Index of Advertiser Funeral Notices. I cannot find out more John AW, Vi or the kids on other newspaper searches on Trove, admittedly only up to the mid1950s.There are no SA births recorded with the surname Hambier up to 1928 suggesting the possibility of moving to SA from elsewhere, but the National Archives of Australia website has nothing on John Hambier. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hambier_john_a.w..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 John W Hamilton died aged 66 yrs on 15 June 1982, husband of May, his year of birth is therefore c1916 (1). On a similar plaque, May Elizabeth Hamilton, who was born on 20 May 1919, died on 5 May 2004, wife of John, mother of Pamela and Heather (2). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser has such a Notice for John Warren Hamilton on 16 June 1982, in keeping with John W Hamilton’s death on 15 June 1982 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there were 4 SA births in 1919 where the first names were ‘May Elizabeth’ of ‘Elizabeth May’, but only one born on 20 May 1919, and that was May Elizabeth Haywood, born in Cleve SA to parents Frederick Hamilton Haywood and Edith Elson (4). There is no May Elizabeth Haywood Marriage Index at GenealogySA. The John Hamilton Marriage Index does not show a bride with first or middle name May. If JW Hamilton was in his 20’s when he married, you’d expect his wedding date to be c1936-c1950, and there are no John W Hamilton marriages to anyone after 1933, at least not on GenealogySA. Back on RootsWeb, John Warren Hamilton 30 Mar 1916 in Cleve {as was May Elizabeth Haywood} to parents Henry Charles Hamilton and Hilda May Hunt (5).A newspaper Marriage Notice remains elusive, despite searches.

The ‘all Hamilton’ Birth Index seeking offspring of John W and Edith Hamilton shows three daughters were born, all in the Port Gawler District, to John William Hamilton and Edith Richards [1] Ruby Olive Edith Hamilton b1898; [2] Irene Gladys Hamilton b1900; [3] Hazel Melba Hamilton b1904 (2). John William Hamilton dies: “Hamilton: On the 8th of August at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, John William, beloved husband of Edith Hamilton, of Cowan street, Gawler, and loving father of Ruby, Irene, and Melba, aged 74 years” The Bunyip, Friday 11 August 1939 p3 (3). This not only tells his precise date of death, it also confirms that he had the 3 daughters we found on GenealogySA, and that Edith’s maiden name was Richards. In fact, their Marraige Notice: “Hamilton—Richards: On the 9th December, at the Flinders-street Baptist Church, by the Rev JG Raws, John William, eldest son of GW Hamilton, Concordia, Gawler, to Edith, eldest daughter of RA Richards of Eden Valley” The Advertiser, Friday 10 December 1897 p4 (4). According to information on the LDS website, John William Hamilton was born 3 Aug 1865 Mount Crawford SA. His father was George William Hamilton born 10 Sep 1843 Pines Hill SA and married Sarah Ann Bath (ie JW’s mother, b1845 Cambridgeshire, England and died 1924 SA). JW’s parents married 19 Sep 1862 Mount Crawford SA. John William Hamilton was married 9 Dec 1897 in Adelaide to Edith Richards b1874. Children were [1] Ruby Olive Edith Hamilton born 11 Sep 1898 Gawler South {see also Ruby Olive Edith Carr nee Hamilton and note 766}; [2] Irene Gladys Hamilton b 16 Nov 1900 Gawler South; [3] Hazel Melba Hamilton born 13 Oct 1904 Gawler South (5). At least we now have his date of birth, and confirmed that Edith was born in 1874. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the Edith Richards b1874 with her father’s initials as ‘RA‘ was born on 30 Aug 1874 in Eden Valley SA to parents Robert Alfred Richards [born Jun 1853 in Kensington, Adelaide} and Mary Ann Lyddon {born abt 1853} (6). This just leaves to ascertain Edith Hamilton nee Richards actual date she died. We know it was in 1959, too recent for our newspaper searches, which have a 1954 cut-off at the moment. A general Google search for John William Hamilton and Edith Richards reveals an Ancestry.com website which tells us that Edith Richards was born in 1874, married John William Hamilton (1865-1961[sic]) and had 3 children [1] Ruby Olive Hamilton (1898-1961); [2] Irene Gladys Hamilton (born 1900); [3] Hazel Melba Hamilton (born 1904). Edith Hamilton nee Richards died on 4 Aug 1959 in Adelaide (7). On the same website, John William Hamilton was born in Mount Crawford SA on 3 Aug 1865 to George William Hamilton and Sarah Anne Bath. John William Hamilton married Edith Richards and had 3 children. He died on 8 Aug 1939 in Gawler (8). Clearly the date he died, on Edith’s webpage was wrong, and as it is corrected on his webpage, it can be safely disregarded. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hamilton_john_w_&_edith.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96706334?searchTerm=Hamilton%20Edith&searchLimits=l-category= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35099392?searchTerm=Hamilton%20Richards&searchLimits= 5 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I138032&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I226463 7 http://records.ancestry.ca/edith_richards_records.ashx?pid=21789910 8 http://records.ancestry.ca/john_william_hamilton_records.ashx?pid=17353840 Colleen Jean Hamilton was born on 13 Jan 1929, and died on 1 Feb 1930, daughter of Robert and Isobel Hamilton (1). The ‘all Hamilton’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Robert and Isobel Hamilton (before the 1928 cut-off) shows one birth in Adelaide in 1926 of James William Dowie Hamilton to parents Robert Hamilton and Isobel Gray (2), clearly the birth of Colleen Jean Hamilton is after the 1928 cut-off, but it does tell us her mother’s maiden name. The Town of Gawler website says that Colleen Jean McKirrow Hamilton aged 1 yr who last resided in Warnertown was buried on 3 Feb 1930 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 44 F 4, with the Presbyterian Minister officiating (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hamilton_colleen_jean.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32928 JR (Jack) Hammat was born on 1 Jan 1913 and died on 29 Jan 1981, husband and father of Mavis, Pat, Barry, Neale, Ron, Julie (1). On a similar plaque, Mavis Elma Hammat was born on 13 Jan 1916 and died on 16 July 1986, wife and mother of Jack, Pat, Barry, Neale, Ron and Julie (2). I think that the first mentioned on each plaque is the spouse of the other subject of the plaque, so it should really read that JR (Jack) Hammat was the husband of Mavis, and father of Pat, Barry, Neale, Ron and Julie; and Mavis Elma Hammat was the wife of Jack, mother of the same five children. The other Hammat plaque remembers John (Barry) Hammat, born 12 Nov 1938 and died on 28 Sept 1996, husband of Sue, father and father-in-law of John and Donna, Sandra and Zion, Trevor and Ann (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the ‘Mavis Elma’ born in 1916 was Mavis Elma Pomeroy who was born on 13 Jan 1916 in Adelaide to parents Richard Pomeroy and Doris Evelyn Paynter (4). The Mavis Pomeroy Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Mavis Elma Pomeroy was married in Adelaide in 1935 to John Rutherford Hammat (5). Back on RootsWeb, John Rutherford Hammat was born on 1 Jan 1913 in Gawler to parents John Stuart Hammat and Laura Gwendoline Worden (6), confirming his date of birth on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hammat_j.r._%28jack%29.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hammat_mavis_elma.jpg 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hammat_john_%28barry%29.jpg 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I625660 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I524910 This old Hampel family headstone relates to Thomas Henry Hampel who died aged 43 yrs on 30 May 1902; his wife Mary Ann Hampel died aged 68 yrs on 7 Nov 1926; their sons William Joseph Hampel died on 8 April 1893; and Roy Hampel died on 5 April 1900, both in their 4th year (1). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery hasn’t recorded an age for William Joseph Hampel and says that Roy Hampel was 4 yrs old (2), when the headstone clearly says that both boys died in their 4th year, ie they were both 3 yrs old when they died. According to the information on the LDS website, Thomas Henry August Hampel was born on 25 June 1859 nr Angaston SA and died aged 43 yrs on 30 May 1902 in Gawler. His parents were Johann Carl August Hampel (born 1834 Royn, Silesia, Prussia) and Judith Brennan (born 1835), who had married on 9 Aug 1858 in Tanunda SA. Thomas Henry August Hampel aged 20 yrs was
married on 18 Apr 1880 in Gawler to Mary Ann Delany aged 21 yrs (born 1858, died 6 Nov 1926 Echunga SA). The children of Thomas Henry August Hampel and Mary Ann Delany, all born in Gawler, were [1] Henry James Hampel born 5 Jun 1881; [2] Percy Brennan Hampel born 8 May 1883; [3] Margaret Mary Ellen Hampel born 14 Oct 1884; [4] Thomas Allen Hampel born 5 Jan 1887, died 1965; [5] William Joseph Hampel born 4 Mar 1890, died 8 Apr 1893 Gawler; [6] Cecil Hampel born 20 Oct 1892, died 1974; [7] Roy Stanislaus Hampel born 28 Oct 1896, died 5 Jul 1900 Gawler; [8] Eva Gertrude Hampel born 6 Jan 1899, died 1964; [9] Clarence Murray Hampel born 24 Dec 1900, died 1966 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the only Mary Ann Delany born in SA in 1858 was Mary Ann Delaney[sic] born on 16 Aug 1858 in Salisbury, Adelaide to parents Patrick Delany[sic] and Ellen Collins (4). As noted above the 6th child of Thomas Henry August Hampel and Mary Ann Delany was Cecil Hampel. His headstone says that Mary Hampel was born on 19 April 1898 and died on ___; her husband Cecil Aloysius Hampel was born 20 Oct 1892 and died on 24 Jan __(1), the missing data seems illegible to me. The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Mary died on 9 Aug 19__ and Cecil died 24 Nov 1974 (6), but I’ll just have to accept that their eyes are better than mine. The Cecil Hampel Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Cecil Aloysius Hampel was married in the Norwood District in 1927 to Mary Ellison (7). A search for Cecil Hampel at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices Index shows that there was a Death Notice in the 1974 Advertiser for Cecil Aloysius Hampel (7). The Mary Hampel Death Index at GenealogySA shows that she died in Gawler in 1969 with nominated relative her husband Cecil Aloysius Hampel (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/hj/hampel_thomas_henry,_william_joseph,_roy_&_mary_ann.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I137774&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I468277 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hampel_mary&_cecil_aloysius.jpg 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 438 Edward Hancock died aged 71 yrs on 12 May 1929, husband of Isabella Hancock (1), the inscription being very hard to read. Isabella Hancock died aged 60 yrs on 29 Aug 1924, wife of Edward Hancock. The Edward Hancock Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Gilbert District in 1884 to Isabella Oliver (3). The ‘all Hancock’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Edward Hancock and Isabella Oliver shows at least 11 children were born to this couple in the Gilbert District up after the 7th child in 1896, thence in the Barossa District for the last 4 children [1] Ethel May Hancock b1885; [2] Sydney Oliver Hancock b1886; [3] Oswald Edward Hancock b1888; [4] Elliot Smith Hancock b1890; [5] Hurtle Gilbert Hancock b1892; [6] Robert James Vine Hancock b1894; [7] Harold Howard Hancock b1896; [8] Albert Joseph Hancock b1899; [9] Ruby Isabell Hancock b1901; [10] William Lipson Hancock b1902; [11] Arnold Keith Hancock b1904 (3). On their headstone, Arnold Keith Hancock died aged 52 yrs on 7 April 1957; his wife Julia Marie Hancock died aged 66 yrs on 18 Feb 1970; parents of Marie Joyce (4). The Arnold Hancock Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Arnold Keith Hancock was married in the Gilbert District in 1932 to Julia Marie O’Halloran (3). The headstone for Harold Howard Hancock says that he died aged 46 yrs on 31 Dec 1942, husband of Isabel Hancock (5). On their headstone, Robert James Vine Hancock died aged 74 yrs on 19 Aug 1968; his wife May Olive Hancock died aged 85 yrs on 7 Oct 1982; parents of Iris, Shirley and Brenda (6). The Robert Hancock Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Robert James Vine Hancock was married in Adelaide in 1920 to May Olive Richardson (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Arnold Keith Hancock was born on 18 Jul 1904 at Wasleys SA to parents Edward Hancock and Isabella Oliver (7), Edward Hancock was born on 25 Mar 1858 at Port Gawler SA to parents Edward Hancock and Ann Vine (8), Harold Howard Hancock was born on 1 Oct 1896 at Red Banks SA to parents Edward Hancock and Isabella Oliver (9), Robert James Vine Hancock was born on 20 Jun 1894 at Red Banks to parents Edward Hancock and Isabella Oliver (10), Isabella Oliver was born on 20 Jan 1864 at Smithfield SA to parents Robert Oliver and Jane Obkick[sic, I think it probably is Hobkirk] (11), May Olive Richardson was born on 26 May 1897 in Lower Light SA to parents William Richardson and Esther Ede Wilson (12), but Julia Marie OHalloran does not appear, at least not using this spelling, at RootsWeb or on the Birth Index at GenealogySA. On their headstone, Alfred Hancock died on __ Jan 1945; his wife Edith Hancock died 19 May 1969, parents of Eileen (13). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Alfred Hancock was aged 78 yrs, and Edith Hancock was 71 yrs old (14) but I cannot see this information on their headstone, not that I’m doubting its accuracy, just from where it came. They also say Edith died in 1929, but also she was the wife of the late Alfred, implying her death to be after his death in 1945, and although hard to read, it looks more like 1969 to me. Actually I’m assuming that their surname was Hancock, as it is not clear on this weathered headstone. The Edith Hancock Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Edith Maude Hancock died in Gawler in 1969, with the nominated relative her deceased husband Alfred Hancock (3). The Alfred Hancock Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows he was married in 1921 in Adelaide to Edith Maude Cope (3). The ‘all Hancock’ Birth Index seeking offspring {hopefully Eileen} of Alfred Hancock and Edith Maude Cope shows they only had one child, at least up to where our data stops in 1928, and this was [1] Eileen Eunice Hancock who was born in 1921 in the Gilbert District to parents Alfred Hancock and Edith Maude Cope (3). Back on RootsWeb, it shows that the only Alfred with no middle name Hancock was the Alfred Hancock who was born on 13 May 1866 in Port Gawler to parents Edward Hancock and Hannah Vine, making him a younger brother of the Edward Hancock buried in Willaston (15), and Edith Maud Cope was born on 13 Oct 1895 at Tam O'Shanter Belt, Adelaide (now Kilburn and Regency Park) to parents Frederick Cope and Emily Rachel Hall (16), which means she was almost 30 yrs younger than him. Alfred Hancock dies: “Hancock: On January 29, at a private hospital, Adelaide, Alfred, beloved husband of Edith Maud Hancock, and loving father of Eileen, aged 78 years, formerly of Wasleys” The Advertiser, Tuesday 30 January 1945 p8 (17). If Edith Maud died in 1969, she was more like 73 yrs old when she died, not 71 yrs old. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hancock_edward.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hancock_isabella.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hancock_arnold_keith_&_julia_marie.jpg 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hancock_harold_howard.jpg 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hancock_robert_james_vine_&_may_olive.jpg 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I242207 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I44951 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I45062 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I45288 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I169553

There is no Hurtle Hams Marriage Index at GenealogySA but the Hurtle Hams Death Index shows that Hurtle Alfred Hams died in Gawler in 1968, with nominated relative his wife Effie Gladys Louisa Hams (2). However, the “all Hams” Marriage Index at GenealogySA reveals that Alfred Hurtle {not Hurtle Alfred} Hams was married in the Daly District in 1922 to Effie Louisa Gladys Sleep (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Alfred Hurtle Hams was born on 19 Mar 1886 at Yanyarrie (now Carrieton) SA to parents James Hams and Mary Ann Potter (3), and Effie Louisa Gladys Sleep was born as Effie Lousia[sic] Gladdys[sic] Sleep in 1903 at Snowtown SA to parents Joseph Henry Sleep and Elsie Georgina Cronk (4), but they only give the year of birth. Effie was therefore abt 78 years old when she died and Hurtle was abt 82 years old when he died. By searching for Effie’s parents Joseph Henry Sleep and Elsie Georgina Cronk, we are led to an Ancestry.com website. It tells us that Effie Louisa Sleep was born on 1 Mar 1901 to Joseph Henry Sleep and Elsie Georgina Cronk (5). If this is correct, Effie Hams was 80 yrs old when she died. But I don’t believe it is true as according to the LDS data, Joseph Henry Sleep born in 1878, was married on 9 Jul 1902 in Adelaide to Elsie Georgiana Cronk (born 2 Mar 1879 Modbury SA) (6). To have a child born 16 months before the wedding is not likely, although not out of the question. One can keep an open mind, but still need corroboration to change the 1903 official date given on RootsWeb. Changing direction, again according to the LDS data, Alfred Hurtle Hams was born on 19 Mar 1886 Yanyarrie SA to parents James Hams (1848-1896) and Mary Ann Potter (born 1850 and died 19 Mar 1886 Yanyarrie), who were married 8 Jun 1869 Mount Rufus SA (7), she presumably, by the dates, died giving birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hams_hurtle_alfred_&_effie.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I44649 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I265277 5 http://records.ancestry.com.au/effie_louisa_sleep_records.ashx?pid=58343502 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I171676&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I271714&tree=SouthAustralia 440 This very weathered Hand family headstone is almost impossible to read from the photo, so I’m relying on the photo’s title ‘John & Patience Ellen Hand’ to help me read it. John Hand died aged __ on 20 Jan 1___; his wife Patience Ellen Hand died aged possibly 84 yrs on 1_ July 1920 (1). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has done a little better to say that John Hand died aged 76 yrs on 20 Jan 1903; but they haven’t added to my reading of his wife’s details (2). The Patience Hand Death Index at GenealogySA says that Patience Ellen Hand died in Adelaide in 1920, with nominated relative her late husband John Hand (3). Patience Ellen Hand dies in 1920: “Hand: On the 12th July, at her daughter's residence, Moonta-street, Adelaide, Patience Ellen Hand, relict of John Hand, age 93 years, leaving six daughters and two sons to mourn her sad loss. ... Gawler papers please copy” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 17 July 1920 p27 (4). Now knowing that the Hands had 8 surviving children, we can look at the ‘all Hand’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Hand and Patience Ellen __, and hence her maiden name. In fact we only find 3 children, all born in the Barossa District, and can presume the other children were born before their SA arrival. The 3 we found were [1] Hannah Maria Hand b1864 to parents John Hand and Prudence[sic] Ellen Holmes; [2] Druesella Hand b1866 to parents John Hand and Patience Ellen Homes; [3] Mary Ann Hand b1871 to parents John Hand and Patient[sic] Ellen Holmes (3). A Google search of ‘Patience Ellen Holmes John Hand’ reveals a website named ‘Joseph Harris' Family History’ that says that Patience Ellen Holmes was born on 3 Dec 1829, and died in 1920 aged 90 yrs and 29 days. She was baptised on 30 Nov 1862 at Holy Trinity Church (Ettingshall), Sedgley, Staffordshire, England, whilst living at Toll End, Tipton, Staffordshire. Her parents were John and Nancy Holmes. Patience Ellen Holmes was married on 9 Jan 1863 in Bilston, Staffordshire to John Hand. They embarked on 10 Jan 1863 in Plymouth aboard the ship Mary Shepherd, and arrived in Port Adelaide on 18 April 1863 (5). Still using this website, John Hand was born c1824 and died aged 76 yrs old on 20 Jan 1903. He was an agricultural labourer from Staffordshire (6). On the website ‘The Ships List we see that the ship Mary Shepherd, 905 tons, Captain Budge, from Plymouth 10 Jan 1863 arrived at Port Adelaide SA on 18 April 1863. Amongst the passengers was the family of John Hand a 39 yr old Agricultural Labourer from Bilston Staffordshire; his wife Patience Ellen Hand nee Holmes aged 32 yrs; Adeline Hand aged 13 yrs; Nancy Ann Hand aged 11; Eli Hand aged 8; Edmund Hand aged 6; and an infant Sarah Hand (7). Add to these 5 children, who must have been all born before their parents’ 1863 marriage, the 3 children born in SA to make the 8 children born to this couple. Obituary: The Late Mr John Hand: “The late Mr John Hand, who died on Tuesday at the advanced age of 76, was one of the oldest residents of Willaston. He arrived in this State in 1863, and during nearly the whole of the intervening period was an employe[e] of the late Hon James Martin and Messrs Martin and Co. The late Mr Hand was a conscientious workman, and earned the respect alike of his employers, his fellow-employe[e]s, and his neighbours. There survive a widow, two sons (Mr Eli Hand of Prospect and Mr Edward Hand of Victoria), and six daughters (Mrs C Walton of Largs Bay, Mrs W Marks of Adelaide, Mrs J McNicholl of Melbourne, Mrs H Loxton of Melbourne, Mrs J Wright of Gawler, and Mrs P Carroll of Gawler)” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 23 January 1903 p2 (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hand_john_&_patience_ellen.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/89190950?searchTerm=patience hand&searchLimits= 5 http://wokurna.net/ppl/c/9/cb28f93f35e3cc88edd8840659c.html 6 http://wokurna.net/ppl/3/7/cb28e9c957e76e2f64925b66f73.html 7 http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/australia/maryshepherd1863.shtml 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97592829?searchTerm=john hand patience&searchLimits= 441 Grace MA Hards, daughter of E and MA Hards, died aged 4 months on 3 May 1898, and shares a headstone with Catherine Nottle who died aged 70 yrs on 2 Feb 1924 (1). There is no explanation of the connection between the two who share this headstone, but possibly MA Hards was born a Nottle, maybe a sister of Catherine. Catherine Nottle’s Death Notice: “Nottle: On the 2nd February, at the residence of her brother-in-law (Mr C Chenoweth), Catherine, dearly beloved second daughter of the late Richard and Grace Nottle of Kangaroo Flat, and sister of Mrs W Swale, Gawler; Mrs C Chenoweth, Willaston; and Mr J Nottle, Kilkenny, aged 70 years” and also a
Bereavement Card: “The Relatives of the late Miss Catherine Nottle desire to tender their sincere thanks to all kind friends for messages of sympathy and floral tributes in their recent sad bereavement” Bunyip, Friday 15 February 1924 p2 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Grace MA Hards was born Grace Mary Ann Hards on 2 Feb 1898 in Gawler to parents Edward Hards and Grace Mary Ann Swales (3), showing that she was just 3 months old when she died, not 4 months as it says on the headstone. The ‘W Swales’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that William George Swales was married in the Talunga District in 1867 to Grace Pape Nottle (4), so there is a family link after all. On their headstone, William Henry Hards died aged 76 yrs on 8 March 1968; his wife Hannah Maria Hards died aged 77 yrs on 7 May 1970, parents of _u_s and __leen (5). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says William Henry Hards died on 3rd March (6), but the headstone has a’th’ after then number, not a ‘nd’, and I think the number is an 8, not a 3. The William Hards Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that William Henry Hards was married in the Kapunda District in 1918 to Hannah Marie[sic] McGregor (4). The ‘all Hards’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Henry Hards and Hannah Maria McGregor shows just one birth registered to this couple [1] Kathleen Ruby Hards b1921 in the Port Gawler District (4), at least confirming the ‘_leen’ on the headstone. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that William Henry Hards may have been born as William Edward Harold Hards on 15 Jun 1891 in Gawler to parents Edward Hards and Grace Mary Ann Swales (7), but this is conjecture and not at all definite. There is no birth record of Hannah Maria McGregor on RootsWeb, so I’ve drawn a blank on their definite dates of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hards_grace_m.a..jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97763018?searchTerm=Catherine%20Nottle%201924&searchLimits= 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I47532 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hards_william_henry_&_hannah_maria.jpg 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I47554 442 Bert Hardwick was born 11 Feb 1929 and died aged 73 years on 2 July 2002, husband of Joan, stepfather of Denzil, Josie and Brett, father of Ricky, Kareen, Sellwyn, Sue, Angelique and Yenda (1). The Savill Index of Advertiser Funeral Notices has the funeral of Albert John Hardwick on 2002-07-05 (2). GenealogySA don’t seem to know Albert John [or John Albert] Hardwick except for a 2002 death notice in the Advertiser (3) found on the search of Albert (Bert) John Hardwick on their Newspaper Death Notices Index, and that may be because he was born after the 1928 cut-off for genealogical data. He may have been married twice, or at the least married a lady with children from a previous marriage to explain the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hardwick_bert.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 443 On their headstone, Hilda Harkness died aged 47 yrs on 24 July 1933; her husband Harold Harkness died aged 69 yrs on 25 June 1959 (1), making their respective years of birth c1886 and c1890. The Harold Harkness Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows there were two marriages for Harold Harkness, both in the Barossa District. The first marriage was in 1912 when he was married to Hilda Gawler Maud May Turner. It is possible that the second marriage involved the same Harold Harkness as it was in 1934 when he married Flora Teresa Esther Brooks, one year after Hilda Harkness died (2). The ‘all Harkness’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Harold Harkness and Hilda Gawler Maud May Turner shows 3 children all born in the Barossa District [1] Hilda Jean Harkness b1915; [2] Albert Ernest Harkness b1918; [3] Harold Max Harkness b1919 (2). The Albert Ernest Harkness headstone is hard to read from the photo (3). Reliance must be given to the photo label which gives his name and the “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery which tells us that Albert Ernest Harkness was aged 53 yrs when he died in Sept 1971-09, husband of Verna Joan Harkness (4). We know from the above he was born in 1918. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Albert Ernest Harkness was born on 19 Jun 1918 in Willaston SA to parents Harold Harkness and Hilda Gawler Maud May Turner (5), Harold Harkness was born on 9 Aug 1889 in Gawler SA to parents John Julian Earnest Harkness and Mary Ann Boyton (6), and Hilda Gawler Maud May Turner was born on 26 Aug 1885 in Gawler to parents Benjamin Turner and Mary Alice Hatch (7). The Town of Gawler website confirms the dates of burial for Hilda Gawler MM Harkness, who was aged 47 yrs and last resided in Willaston, was buried on 25 July 1933 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 7 H 2, with Rev Rooney officiating (8), and Harold Harkness who was aged 70 yrs and last resided in Willaston, was buried on 26 June 1959 in Willaston Cemetery’s re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 7 H 2, with Rev TCO Patrick officiating (9). But Albert Ernest Harkness’s 1971 death is considered too recent for this information to be freely available, although the Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in The Advertiser Newspaper, shows that the one for Albert Ernest Harkness was on 22 Sept 1971, but I cannot confirm his actual date of death (10), most likely on 20 Sept 1971. The Albert Harkness Death Index at GenealogySA confirms he died in Gawler in 1971, with nominated relative his still-living wife, Verna Joan Harkness (2). Harold Harkness’s second marriage is discussed in Note 703. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harkness_hilda_&_harold.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harkness_albert_ernest_&_verna_joan.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I527451 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I48146 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I167297 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32732 9 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34253 10 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html 444 John JE Harkness died on 15 Dec 1911; his wife Mary Ann Harkness died on 17 Nov 1928 (1), with no ages or birth dates given. The John Harkness Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that John Julian E Harkness was married in the Barossa District in 1878 to Mary Anne Boyton (2). The ‘all Harkness’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Julian E Harkness and Mary Anne Boyton shows 7 children born to John Julian Ernest Harkness and Mary Ann Boyton, all in the Barossa District [1] Amelia Harkness b1879; [2] Isabella Harkness b1881; [3] Ernest Harkness b1882; [4] James Harkness b1884; [5] Harold Harkness b1889; [6] Ada Harkness b1891; [7] Arthur Harkness b1894 (2). The Ernest Harkness headstone is hard to read, but it seems to say that he died aged 74 yrs on 12 March 1957 (3), although I admit to some help by the “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery for this information (4). We know he was born in 1882, so the age of 74 yrs fits the date of his death, provided he was born after 3 March 1882. On his younger brother James
Harkness’s headstone, it says that James Harkness died aged 81 yrs on 20 May 1966; his wife Edith Matilda Harkness died aged 76 yrs on 11 Dec 1957; their daughter Muriel Isobel Harkness died aged 47 yrs on 30 June 1963 (5). Again on the ‘all Harkness’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of James Harkness and Edith Matilda __ shows 4 children born to James Harkness and Edith Matilda Gwynne, all in the Barossa District [1] Arthur Reginald Harkness b1907; [2] George Laurence James Harkness b1909; [3] Gladys Matilda Harkness b1912; [4] Muriel Isabel[sic] Harkness b1915 (2). Harold Harkness, son of John Julian Ernest Harkness and Mary Ann Boyton, is discussed in Note 443. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ernest Harkness was born on 31 Dec 1882 in Gawler to parents John Julian Ernest Harkness and Mary Ann Boyton (6), James Harkness was born on 14 Dec 1884 in Gawler to the same parents John Julian Ernest Harkness and Mary Ann Boyton (7), Muriel Isobel Harkness was born on 4 Jul 1915 in Willaston SA to parents James Harkness and Edith Matilda Gwynne (8), and Edith Matilda Gwynne was born on 21 Jul 1881 in Willaston to parents Evan Gwynne and Mary Ann Dew (9). There are no birth records for John Julian E Harkness or Mary Anne Boyton at RootsWeb. Death: “Harkness: On the 15th December, at Gawler, John JE, the beloved husband of Mary Harkness, aged 62” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Wednesday 20 December 1911 p14 (10), and Death: “Harkness: On November 17, at Unley, Mary Ann, relict of John JE Harkness, and late of Gawler East, aged 75 years” The Mail (Adelaide), Saturday 17 November 1928 p5 (11). Unfortunately I have been unable to find the precise dates of birth of John JE Harkness and Mary Ann Boyton. On his headstone, Laurence Harkness died aged 72 yrs on 24 Jan 1982, his wife Violet Harkness died aged 95 yrs on 11 March 2005; parents of John and Claire (12). This makes Laurence’s year of birth c1910 and Violet’s also c1910. We already know that George Laurence James Harkness was born in 1909, so it seems he was known as Laurence, rather than by all his first names. On a website named ‘Warneke Identities Australia, researching the Warneke and Lees families in Autralia and beyond”, George Laurence James Harkness was born in Willaston SA on 3 Sep 1909 to James Harkness (1884-1966) and Edith Matilda Gwynne (1881-1957). On January 10th 1942 George Laurence Harkness enlisted in the Australia Military Forces in Gawler at the age of 32 years and 3 months. He had been a clerk before this and lived with wife Violet in Railway Terrace, Willaston. At school, he had acheived his Intermediate (Year 10) but not Leaving or Leaving Honours. No had he attended trade school or University. George stood 5’ 11½” tall, has blue eyes, brown hair and was of medium complexion. George was promoted to Acting Lance Corporal in March 1942 for a period of six months. He served as a clerk in the AMF until Jan 8, 1946 with 92 days served overseas, some of that in New Guinea in 1945. On 14 Dec 1935 when George Laurence James was 26, he married Violet “Vi” Ellen Caroline Parham, daughter of Edward John “Gawler” Parham (born 16 Oct 1885) and Ellen Jane Preiss (26 May 1884-8 Apr 1965), in Methodist Church, Willaston, South Australia. She was born in Gawler on 27 Apr 1909. The Advertiser (Adelaide, South Australia) Saturday 24 December 1932 says: ”Engagements: Parham – Harkness. The engagement is announced of Violet, only daughter of Mrs EJ Parham and the late Mr G Parham, of Gawler, to Laurence, second son of Mr and Mrs J Harkness, of Willaston.” They had two children. George Laurence James was 72 yrs old when he died in Gawler on 24 Jan 1982. Violet “Vi” Ellen Caroline was 95 when she died in Gawler, South Australia, on 11 Mar 2005. They are both buried in Willaston Cemetery on the western side near the main road (13). It should be noted that Laurie and Vi Harkness are both mentioned as “Gawler Significant Identities” in the Town of Gawler’s publication “Footprints” (January 2008) page 32 because of their crucial contribution to the cultivation of the Gawler Hybrid Bottlebrush, first planted by them in 1937. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harkness_john_j.e_&_mary_ann.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harkness_ernest.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harkness_edith_matilda,_james_&_muriel_isobel.jpg 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I48145 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I48149 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I527447 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I10271 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5317274?searchTerm=john harkness mary&searchLimits= 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/58564198?searchTerm=john harkness mary&searchLimits= 12 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harkness_laurence_&_violet.jpg 13 http://warneke.id.au/magazine/george-laurence-james-harkness/ 445 This is an unusual arrangement, on a headstone for Carl F Holme [1872?9-1938] and Elizabeth Holme [1880-1956], there’s an additional name in different style for Ivy Harper [19?5 - 1976] (1). Is Ivy a married daughter or other relative? The Carl Holme Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Carl Frederick Holme married Elizabeth Jane Ralph in the Port Adelaide District in 1912 (2). The Elizabeth Ralph Birth Index at GenealogySA has an Elizabeth Jane Rogers Ralph born in Adelaide in 1881 to parents John Ralph and Sarah Caroline Sweetland (2). The Elizabeth Jane Holme Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when she died in Gawler in 1956, the nominated relative was her late husband Carl Frederick Holme (2). Because of variations in the spelling of his first names, the “all Holme” Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Carl Fiedrik[sic] Holme died in Gawler in 1938 (2), and the all Holme” Birth Index shows that the children born to Carl F Holme and Elizabeth Jane Ralph, all in the Port Gawler District, were [1] Percy Frederick Holme b1916; [2] Vera Constance Holme b1923 (parents named as Charles Fredrick Holme and Elizabeth Jane Ralph: [3] Ivy Irene Holme b1915 (2). Another WWI anti-German name change. There is no Ivy Irene Hilme Marriage Index at GenealogySA but a description of her nuptials was found by searching old newspapers using Trove: “AIF Service at Pirie Street: At Pirie Street Methodist Church, the Rev JH Crossley is officiating this afternoon, at the marriage of Miss Ivy Irene Holme, and Pte Leonard Harper, AIF, youngest son of Mr and Mrs JW Harper, Mile-End. The bride, whose brother, Mr Percy Holme, is giving her away, is the eldest daughter of Mrs CF Holme, Gawler South, and of the late Mr Holme. ...... Miss Connie Holme and Miss Merle GCubbins are bridesmaids. ..... Cpl Leonard Allen, AIF, is best man, and the groomsman is Pte Max Campbell. At the home of Mrs RG Gubbfns, bridegroom's sister, 25 guests will be entertained after the ceremony” News (Adelaide), Saturday 21 December 1940 p5 (3), establishes the link between Holme and Harper. The death of Carl F Holme: “Deaths: Holme. On the 24th of July, at his residence, Seventh street, Gawler South (suddenly), Carl Fredrik (Charlie), beloved husband of Elizabeth Jane Holme, aged 60 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 28 July 1938 p27 (4). The birth of Ivy Irene Holme in 1915 corresponds to the headstone year of birth ‘19_5’. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ivy Irene Holme was born on 31 Jan 1915 in Gawler SA to parents Charles Fredrick Holme and Elizabeth Jane Ralph (5). Unfortunately I cannot find the precise date of Ivy Irene Harper’s death, as it is too recent for my sources, but she would have been aged about 61 yrs when she died in 1976.There is no entry for her her on the Savill Index of Advertiser Funeral Notices. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harper_ivy.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32

Presumably they were a married couple, although some other combination of relatives is possible. According to data on the LDS Community Trees website, Ambrose Harris was born on 1 Oct 1858 in Bertha SA to parents William Harris and Ellen Murphy. Ambrose Harris was married to Emma Bickley [born c1860] on 15 Jun 1881 in Adelaide. The 5 children of Ambrose Harris and Emma Bickley were [1] May Harris born 25 Jun 1881 Adelaide; [2] Alicia Harris b 4 Oct 1884 Bertha SA and died 8 Jun 1891 North Adelaide; [3] Ambrose James Harris born 28 Jul 1886 Willaston and died 24 Nov 1897 Waltham SA [4] Emily Caroline Harris born 29 Apr 1888 Willaston; [5] Hilda Emma Harris born 28 Dec 1892 Waltham (2). According to LDS data, the parents of Ambrose Harris were William Harris and Ellen Murphy, but information was given as to their origins. The 12 children of William Harris and Ellen Murphy were [1] William Harris born 19 Jul 1855 Prospect Village SA; [2] George Harris born 27 Mar 1857 Prospect Village; [3] Ambrose Harris born 1 Oct 1858 Bertha SA; [4] Michael James Harris born 26 Jul 1860 Bertha, died aged 50 yrs on 25 Aug 1910 Petersburg SA; [5] Thomas Henry Harris born 30 Jun 1862 Willaston SA, died aged 5 yrs on 28 Sep 1867 Willaston; [6] Mary Jane Harris born 10 May 1864 Bertha, died aged 1 yr on 12 Jan 1866 Bertha; [7] Elizabeth Jane Harris born 23 Jul 1866 Bertha, died aged 1 yr on 25 Sep 1867 Willaston; [8] Henry Harris born 8 May 1868 Willaston; [9] Martha Harris born 16 Apr 1870 Willaston; [10] Catherine Ellen Harris born 14 Dec 1872 nr Willaston; [11] Emily Harris born 29 Mar 1875 Kooringa SA; [12] Ada Harris born 8 Jul 1877 Kooringa SA (3). Further information can also be found on the LDS website concerning the family of William Harris and Ellen Murphy: [3] Ambrose Harris was married (as we already knew) on 15 Jun 1881 in Adelaide to Emma Bickley; [4] Michael James Harris was married on 7 Apr 1892 nr Jamestown SA to Mary Jane Dunstan; [9] Martha Harris was married on 12 Feb 1889 in Adelaide to Henry Hembury; [10] Catherine Ellen Harris was married on 19 Sep 1891 in Adelaide to Walter Whaites; [11] Emily Harris was married on 28 Oct 1899 in North Adelaide to Griffith Cadwallader Davies; [12] Ada Harris was married on 27 Aug 1900 in North Adelaide to James William Jolly (4). On their headstone, George Harris died on 7 April 1906; Sarah Jane Harris died on 31 Jan 1929 (5). The George Harris Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Burra District in 1878 George Harris married Sarah Jane Schumann (6). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Sarah Jane Schumann was born as Sarah Jane Shuman on 15 Apr 1858 in Gawler to parents John Wm Shuman and Elizabeth Grills (7). Ambrose Harris dies: “Harris: On the 24th January, at Adelaide Hospital, Ambrose, loving husband of Emma Harris, Willaston, father of May, Emily and Hilda, aged 75 years” The Advertiser, Wednesday 31 January 1934 p14 (8). Emma Harris dies: “Harris: On August 14, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Emma, relict of Ambrose Harris, of Willaston and loving mother of May, Emily and Hilda, aged 89 years and 1 month” The Advertiser, Saturday 15 August 1942 p7 (9). This means that Emma Harris was born about July 1853 to die aged 89 yrs and 1 mth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_ambrose_&_emma.jpg 2 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I95202&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I134324&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F39592&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_george_&_sarah_jane.jpg 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I338028 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36474642?searchTerm=Ambrose%20Harris&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48878876?searchTerm=Ambrose%20Harris&searchLimits= Alice Harris died aged 70 yrs on 29 Oct 1956; her husband Richard Octavious[sic] Harris died aged 87 yrs on 23 April 1974, parents of Owen, Ralph, Beryl, Gwyn, Claire, Noreen and Bob (1). According to information on the LDS site, Richard Octavius Harris was born on 30 Jan 1887 at Modbury SA to parents Richard William Harris (born 27 Aug 1860 Mt Pleasant SA) and Amy Elizabeth Dalby (born 13 Jan 1864 Wallaroo SA and died 6 May 1959 Trinity Gardens SA), who had married on 25 Jul 1882 in Gawler. Richard Octavius Harris married Alice Packer [born 9 Sep 1886 Highbury SA] on 26 Mar 1910 at Teatree Gully (2). The ‘all Harris’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Richard Octavius Harris and Alice Packer shows the 7 children named on the headstone, in the correct order [1] Owen Richard Harris b1910 born to parents Richard Octavious Harris and Alice Packer in Adelaide; [2] Ralph Graham Harris b1912 born to parents Richard Octavius Harris and Alice Packer in Adelaide; [3] Beryl Holly Harris b1915 born to parents Richard Octavious Harris and Alice Packer in Adelaide; [4] Gwyneth Amy Alice Harris b1918 born to parents Richard Octavius Harris and Alice Packer in the Port Gawler District; [5] Dorothy Clair Harris b1919 born to parents Richard Octavious Harris and Alice Packer in the Port Gawler District; [6] Alice Noreen Harris b1922 born to parents Richard Octavious Harris and Alice Packer in the Barossa District; [7] Bobby Harris b1926 born to parents Richard Octavius Harris and Alice Packer in the Port Gawler District (3). According to the Town of Gawler website, Alice Harris aged 70 yrs who last resided in Smithfield was buried 31 Oct 1956 in the Willaston Cemetery re-opened Plot/Grave/ Niche 20 L 4, with Rev LD Rooney officiating (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_alice_&_richard_octavious.jpg 2 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I97237&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34600 Elizabeth Kerr Harris died on 1 Aug 2008 is the simple message on this headstone (1). There’s no information on Genealogy SA about Elizabeth Kerr Harris and I fear that it is all too recent to have much info about, except on the Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices that confirms the funeral notice for Elizabeth Kerr Harris appeared on 5 Aug 2008 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there was no SA birth up until 1928 of a child with the first names Elizabeth Kerr, meaning that she wasn’t born in SA or she was younger than 80 yrs old when she died in 2008. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_elizabeth_kerr.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html Maud Ann Rebecca Harris died aged 45 yrs on 7 Jan 1930; her husband William Lewis Harris died aged 90 yrs on 17 Jan 1966 (1). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says his name was William Harris (2), but the headstone twice mentions that his name was William Lewis Harris. Their respective years of birth are c1885 and c1876. The William Harris Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that William Lewis Harris was married in the Barossa District in 1902 to Maude Ann Rebecca Kennewell (3). The ‘all Harris’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Lewis Harris and Maude Ann Rebecca Kennewell shows they had 2 children [1] Lancelot William Harris b1903 in the Barossa District; [2] Vivian Lewis Harris 1908 in the Crawford District (3). On their headstone, Vivian Lewis Harris died aged 73 yrs on 16 Aug 1982; his wife Audrey May Harris died aged 97 yrs on 7 Aug 2007; parents of
Graham, Ian, Adrian, __, __sley, Wendy, Noel, the names partially obscured by greenery (4). The Vivian Harris Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Vivian Lewis Harris was married in the Hindmarsh District in 1933 to Audrey May Devenish (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Vivian Lewis Harris was born on 5 Dec 1908 in Yatta Creek SA to parents William Lewis Harris and Maud Ann Rebecca Kennewell (5), William Lewis Harris was born on 12 May 1875 in Sandy Creek SA to parents Job Harris and Mary Hattam (6), Maude Ann Rebecca Kennewell was born on 27 Aug 1884 in Yatta Creek to parents Mark Albert Kennewell and Dinah Ann Adams (7), but Audrey May Devenish does not appear on on the SA RootsWeb birth data. Was she born elsewhere, or was Devenish not her maiden name? This Engagement Notice strongly suggests that she was born in WA: “Engagements: Devenish—Harris: The engagement is announced of Audrey May, daughter of Mr and Mrs A Devenish, Woodville (late of Fremantle WA), to Vivian Lewis, youngest son at Mr and the late Mrs WL Harris, Wil liamstown SA” The Mail (Adelaide), Saturday 12 December 1931 p2 (8). As we learned above, the parents of William Lewis Harris were Job Harris and Mary Hattam. On their headstone, Job Harris aged 41 yrs died at Sandy Creek on 22 Jan 1882; his wife Mary Harris aged 79 yrs died on 31 March 1923; their daughter Elizabeth Harris died aged 5 yrs on 14 July 1869, and their neice[sic] Hannah Mabel ?Harris died aged 1 year old, but no date is given. (9). My reckoning says that Job Harris was born c1841 and Mary Harris nee Hattam was born c1844. There is no Job Harris Birth Index at GenealogySA, but the corresponding Marriage Index shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1862 to Mary Hattam (3). The ‘all Harris’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Job Harris and Mary Hattam shows there were 6 children, all born in the Barossa District to this couple [1] Elizabeth Harris b1864; [2] Louisa Jane Harris b1865; [3] Alfred James Harris b1867; [4] Elizabeth Saunders Harris b1872; [5] William Lewis Harris b1875; [6] Mary Harris b1879 (3). Interestingly there was a child Ellen Malone Harris who was born in Adelaide in 1872 to Job Harris and Ellen Malone (3), so if not the same father there was at least one other Job Harris around at the time. Back on RootsWeb, we find that Elizabeth Harris was born on 27 Jan 1864 in Willaston SA to parents Job Harris and Mary Hattam (10), and Hannah Mabel Harris was born on 22 Jan 1874 in Willaston to parents David Harris and Mary Pankhurst (11). As Hannah Mabel was a Harris, David must have been a brother of Job Harris. On a website ‘BartKakoschke'sExtendedFamilyTree’ it shows the family of David Harris and Mary Rebecca Pankhurst who were married in Buchfelde SA on 23 Feb 1872. David Harris was born c1848, but no mention of his parents. Mary Rebecca Pankhurst was born c1857 to parents Joseph Harwood Pankhurst and Mary Purdy. She also was married at Thomas Plains SA on 16 Nov 1889 to Henry Moor Burrowes (12). On a RootsWeb site, part of Ancestry.com, a page called “AUS-SAGEN-L Archives” has a note concerning a George Harris with entries concerning his sons Benjamin George, Job and David Harris. Benjamin George Harris was born on 2 June 1851 to parents George Harris and Mary Davis. He was married (single, aged 24 yrs) on 5 Feb 1876 at the residence of Samuel Fairey in Gawler West to Liza Rosa Harvey (single aged 19 yrs, father Joseph William Harvey). His brother Job Harris was married aged 22 yrs at St Peter Church Williamstown on 17 Sept 1862 to Mary Hattam aged 19 yrs (father Samuel Hattam). David Harris was married aged 24 yrs in the residence of IL Morris at Buchfelde on 23 Feb 1872 to Mary Pankhurst aged 16 yrs (her father was Joseph Harwood Pankhurst). George Harris and Mary Davies married 1838 in Neath, Wales, and arrived SA abt 1849 with children Ann, Job, Elizabeth, Hannah and David, with a 6th child Benjamin George Harris born 1851 in SA (13). Unfortunately I cannot find out precisely when Hannah Mabel Harris died, only that if she was at least one years old, it would have been in 1875. On a WikiTree information sharing site, it tells us that Job Harris was born on 22 July 1840 at Neath, Glamorgan Wales, and died on 12 Jan 1882 at Sandy Creek SA. His parents were George Harris (1814-1851) and Mary Davies (1816-1890), both were born in Wales, Mary in Pembrokeshire and George at Neath Glamorgan; both died in Australia. Job Harris was married to Mary Hattam (14). On a WebTrees site, Mary Hattam was born in 1843 in Chacewater, Cornwall, England and was christened aged 15 mths on 24 April 1844 in Chacewater. She emigrated aged 10 yrs on 7 June 1853 from Plymouth, Devon, England, arriving in Port Adelaide on 25 October 1853 (14). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_maud_ann_rebecca_&_william.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_vivian_lewis_&_audrey_may.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I527942 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I50379 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I59981 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/61561719 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_job,_elizabeth,_hannah_mabel_&_mary.jpg 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I49288 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I49585 12 http://genealogy.kakoschke.net/familygroup.php?familyID=F927&tree=1 13 http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/AUS-SAGEN/2005-04/1113366090 14 http://www.wikitree.com/g2g/105263/info-job-harris-1840-1882-wife-mary-hattam-1844-cornwall-1923 450 Amy Harris Stewart died aged 68 yrs on 29 June 1948, her husband Alexander F Stewart died aged 91 yrs on 20 July 1970 (1). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has her listed as having the surname Harris (2), but I think it more likely that her middle name was Harris and her married surname was Stewart. The Alexander Stewart Marriage Index at GenealogySA Marriage Index shows that Alexander Frank Stewart was married in the Barossa District in 1905 to Amy Harris James (3), and this confirms my conjecture that “Harris” was her middle name. This entry should be filed on the “S” Data page under her married surname of Stewart. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Alexander Frank Stewart was born on 27 Aug 1878 in Gawler to parents Alexander Stewart and Charlotte Goldfinch (4), and Amy Harris James was born on 7 May 1880 in Gawler to parents William James and Jane Davey (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_amy.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I359426 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I71166 451 Her headstone says that Hannah Harris died aged 23 yrs on 5 Aug 1868, 3rd daughter of the late George Harris of Kooringa (1). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Hannah Harris died in 1965 (2), but really it says 1868 on the headstone. This is confirmed on the Town of Gawler website which notes Hannah Harris aged 23 yrs who last resided in Willaston was buried 7 Aug 1868 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 31 Q 1, with Rev C Evans officiating (3). We found in Note 449 that George Harris and Mary Davis had married in Neath, Wales in 1838, and arrived SA abt 1849 with children Ann, Job, Elizabeth, Hannah and David, with a 6th child
Benjamin George Harris born 1851 in SA, and it is most likely that it is this Hannah Harris buried here. But some confusion arises with her death notice: “Deaths: Harris: On the 5th of August, Hannah Harris, the beloved daughter of James Davis, of Bertha, Gawler” The South Australian Advertiser, Friday 7 August 1868 p2 (4). But can it be explained by the fact that her father George Harris died in 1851 [as we learned in Note 449], and maybe mother Mrs Mary Harris nee Davis remarried? The Mary Harris Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Mary Harris was married in Adelaide in 1857 to James Davies (5). So the death notice maybe should have said ‘beloved stepdaughter’. Interestingly Mary Davis became Mrs Mary Harris nee Davis, and then Mrs Mary Davies formerly Harris nee Davis. None of which helps find Hannah’s date of birth which would have been c1845 before the family came to SA. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_hannah.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29134 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/31980991?searchTerm=Hannah%20Harris&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 452 Zana Harrison died on 19 July 1958; her husband Arthur Adam Harrison died on 9 July 1960 (1). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has her first name as ‘Zara’, but the headstone clearly says ‘Zana’ Harrison (2). The Arthur Harrison Birth Index at GenealogySA reveals that Arthur Adam Harrison was born in the Daly District in 1902 to parents William Thomas Harrison and Jane Penzie McArthur (3). The Arthur Harrison Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Arthur Adam Harrison had two marriages, both in Adelaide: [1] to Constance Mary McMillan in 1927, and [2] to Zana Houlgrave in 1935 (3). The Constance Mary Harrison Death Index at GenealogySA shows she died in Adelaide in 1932, with nominated relative her husband Arthur Adam Harrison (3). William Thomas Harrison died aged 76 yrs on 26 Sept 1934; his wife Jane Penzie Harrison died aged 84 yrs on 24 July 1948 (4). The ‘all Harrison’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of parents William Thomas Harrison and Jane Penzie McArthur shows 7 children born in the Daly and Gilbert Districts [1] Agnes Matilda Harrison b1883; [2] William Johnstone Harrison b1885; [3] John Harrison b1887; [4] Penzie Louisa Harrison b1890; [5] Ivy Margaret Harrison b1893; [6] Clement Harrison b1896; [7] Arthur Adam Harrison b1902 (3). The LDS website tells us that Arthur Adam Harrison was born 16 Oct 1902 Clinton SA to parents William Thomas Harrison [born 11 May 1858 Port Adelaide and Jean Penzie McArthur [born 11 Aug 1863 Melrose SA], his parents marrying on 22 Nov 1882 at Port Victoria SA (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Zana Houlgrave was born on 9 Jun 1887 in Adelaide to parents Harry John Charles Houlgrave and Sophia Bond (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harrison_zara_&_arthur_adam.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harrison_william_thomas_&_jane_penzie.jpg 5 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I273183&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I36672 453 Annie Harrison died aged 61 yrs on 25 May 1912, her husband Frederick William Harrison died aged 86 yrs on 27 Feb 1932 (1). According to the data on the LDS website, Frederick William Harrison was born 31 May 1845 in Adelaide, and he died 27 Feb 1932 Willaston. His parents were Robert Harrison and Mary Birch. Frederick William Harrison lived in Bertha, Willaston, Gawler, and was a labourer, carrier and mason. He was married on 10 March 1869 in Willaston to Ann Renshall [her father was Henry Renshall]. Annie Renshall was born c1851, and she died 26 May 1912 Willaston. Their children [1] Emma Harrison born 9 Mar 1869 Willaston; [2] Henry Harrison born 28 Mar 1870 Willaston; [3] Florence Franklin nee Harrison born 19 Sep 1872 Willaston and died 6 Aug 1940 SA; [4] Robert James Harrison born 6 Jun 1874 Willaston; [5] William James Harrison born 30 May 1876 Bertha SA, baptised 21 Jun 1876 and died 27 Jun 1876 Bertha; [6] Mary Lodge nee Harrison born 5 Jun 1877 Willaston and baptised 29 Jul 1877; [7] Hannah Alice May (aka Anna Alice Maud) Harrison born 13 Sep 1879 Willaston, baptised 23 Nov 1879; [8] Walter Grey Harrison born 1 Dec 1881 Willaston; [9] James Harrison born 4 Mar 1884 Bertha; [10] Elsie Grey Harrison born 30 Dec 1885 Willaston and died 18 Oct 1904 Willaston; [11] Amy Minnie Maud Bailey nee Harrison born 29 Feb 1888 Willaston; [12] Violet Ivy Muriel (or Maud?) Harrison born 18 Mar 1890 Walton (?Willaston); [13] Herbert Leonard Cornelius Harrison born 29 Nov 1892 Walton SA and died 30 May 1980 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Annie Renshall was born in Adelaide in 1849, and baptised on 16 Apr 1849 in St Georges Church, Gawler, and was married in the Willaston home of Mrs Renshall on 10 Mar 1869. She died on 26 May 1912 in Willaston, and was buried on 27 May 1912 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 46 O 2 (3). Interestingly, RootsWeb tells us that the Henry Harrison born on 28 Mar 1870 in Willaston SA is not the Henry Harrison buried at Willaston. The Henry Harrison born on 28 Mar 1870 was buried on 22 Apr 1940 in the Baptist part of Woronora Cemetery NSW. In 1896, he was a Broken Hill mechanic, and by 1900 was a miner there. He was noted to be an engine driver both in 1930 and in 1936 in Broken Hill, and he died aged 70 yrs on 20 Apr 1940 in Kogarah NSW (4). On their headstone, Henry Harrison died aged 74 yrs on 29 Feb 1944; his wife Sarah Matilda Harrison died aged 95 yrs on 28 March 1967 (5). The Henry Harrison Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Daly District in 1899 to Sarah Mathilda Fisher (6). At the website “Topperwien”, part of “MyHeritage” Henry Harrison was born in Clinton SA and was married to Sarah Matilda Fisher. Their children included Edward Henry Harrison and Clarence Charles Harrison (7). Back on RootsWeb, the Henry Harrison born at Clinton SA was born on 20 Jul 1869 to parents John Harrison and Catherine Harris (8), and Sarah Matilda Fisher was born on 12 May 1870 in Moorowie SA to parents Charles Fisher {born abt 1844} and Sarah Ann Sparrow {born abt 1846} (9). The ‘all Harrison’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Henry Harrison and Sarah Matilda Fisher shows that 6 children were born, the first 2 in the Daly District and the rest in the Gilbert District [1] Edward Henry Harrison b1900; [2] Clarence Charles Harrison b1902; [3] Amy Catherine Sarah Harrison b1904; [4] Ethel Blanche Coral Harrison 1907; [5] Ella Matilda Adelaide Harrison b1911; [6] Herbert William Harrison 1913 (6). Herbert William Harrison died aged 82 yrs on 20 Nov 1995; his wife Olive Mavis Harrison died aged 65 yrs on 21 Nov 1977 (10). The Herbert Harrison Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Herbert William Harrison was married in the Talunga District in 1937 to Olive Mavis How (6).

On the LDS website, William Allen Harrison was born 7 Dec 1873 in North Adelaide to Thomas Henry Harrison (b1847) and Sarah Elizabeth Hill (b1852), who had married in Adelaide on 10 Aug 1871. William Allen Harrison was married in Gawler on 2 Jun 1894 to Matilda Caroline Jane Wasley (born 4 May 1877 Gawler). Their children included: [1] William Allen Harrison born 12 Aug 1894 Gawler; [2] Roy Henry Harrison born 5 May 1896 Walkerville; [3] Ernest Frank Harrison born 27 Nov 1898, Findon SA; [4] at least one other sibling (2). The Elizabeth Harrison Death Index at GenealogySA shows that she died in Adelaide in 1875, with nominated relative her husband Thomas Henry Harrison (3), showing that her name was Sarah Elizabeth Harrison nee Hill. The Sarah Hill Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when she died in the Hindmarsh District in 1909, the nominated relative was her husband William Hill (3). This Sarah Hill who died aged 96 yrs in 1909 was born c1813. According to the LDS data, Thomas Henry Harrison was born on 16 Aug 1847 to parents Robert Harrison and Mary Burch, died on 15 Jan 1940 at Fullarton SA and is buried in Payneham Cemetery. He was a labourer and plumber who had resided in Adelaide, Nth Adelaide and Nth Walkerville.

The Norman Murray Good Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Port Gawler District in 1912, he was married to Emily Rose Goodger (2). The ‘all Good’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Norman Murray Good and Emily Rose Goodger shows 4 children born to Ezekiel Norman Murray Good and Emily Rose Goodger, the first 2 in the Wellington District and the later 2 in the Barossa District: [1] Phyllis May Good b1913; [2] Lorna Marjory Good b1914; [3] Melville Ross Good b1918; [4] Ronda Elford Good b1919 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Norman Murray Good was born Ezekiel Norman Murray Good on 24 Dec 1885 in Kangaroo Flat SA to parents Ezekiel Good and Elizabeth Fanny Glen (3), Phyllis May Good was born on 21 Aug 1913 in Loxton SA to parents Ezekiel Norman Murray Good and Emily Rose Goodger (4), and Emily Rose Goodger was born on 28 Oct 1889 at Gawler River SA to parents William Goodger and Susan Adams Pederick (5), showing that she was actually 73 yrs old when she died. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/good_norman_murray,_emily_rose_&_phyllis_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I737447 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I515865 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I416 456 Sarah Harvey died on 3 Aug 1940; her husband JN (Norman) Harvey died on 15 April 1942 (1). The “J Harvey” Marriage Index at GenealogySA seeking the marriage of JN (Norman) Harvey and Sarah __ shows that Joseph Henry Norman Harvey was married in the Barossa District in 1897 to Sarah Congdon (2), but the ‘all Harvey’ Birth Index shows that no children were recorded born to this couple. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Sarah Congdon was born on 3 Aug 1867 at Hd of Mudla Wirra SA to parents Walter Congdon and Mary Cheney (3), but no Joseph Henry Norman Harvey was found on the SA birth records at RootsWeb. A Google search for Joseph Henry Norman Harvey and Sarah Congdon reveals a website of Ancestry.com.au that tells us that Joseph Henry Harvey was born in 1871 to Henry Harvey (1842-1914) and Hannah Sophia Green (18521906). Joseph Henry married Sarah Congdon (born 1867) (4). JN Harvey dies: “Harvey: On April 15, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Joseph Norman Harvey, aged 69 years”. The Advertiser, Thursday 16 April 1942 p8 (5), although this doesn’t quite tally with his birth year of 1871 if he was aged 69 when he died. According to data on the LDS website, Sarah Congdon was born on 3 Aug 1867 at Head of Mudla Wirra SA to parents Walter Congdon (born 1826, died aged 53 yrs on 29 Nov 1879 nr Templers SA) and Mary Ann Cheney (born on 16 Jan 1835 Huntingdonshire, England), who had married on 8 Oct 1856 in Gawler. Sarah Congdon was married on 19 May 1897 at Templers to Joseph Henry Norman Harvey (born 1871) (6). JN Harvey was a butcher: “Joseph Henry Norman Harvey, a butcher of Wasleys” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 23 August 1901 p2 (7). Joseph Henry Norman Harvey seemed best known as Joseph Norman Harvey as shown by: “Funeral Notices: Harvey: The friends of the late Mr Joseph Norman Harvey, late of Freeling, are respectfully informed that his funeral will leave 5 Jacob st, Gawler, on Thursday afternoon, at 2.30, for the Willaston Cemetery” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Thursday 16 April 1942 p8 (8), but we are no nearer to finding his precise date of birth. Sarah’s age is confirmed: “Obituary: Mrs Sarah Harvey, of Freeling, who died recently at the age of 73, was born at Templers. As a young woman she was associated in the work of The Templers, then Wesleyan Methodist Church. In 1897 she married Mr JHN Harvey, and went to live at Wasleys until 1906, when they removed to Freeling and had lived there ever since. Her husband, three brothers, and two sisters survive”. Chronicle, Thursday 17 October 1940 p41 (9), and Sarah’s date of death: “Harvey. On the 3rd of August, at her residence, Clarke street, Freeling, Sarah, dearly beloved wife of J Norman Harvey, aged 73 years. At rest”. Chronicle, Thursday 8 August 1940 p20 (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harvey_sarah_&_norman.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I116387

I can find nothing else on GenealogySA, Trove for births and marriages, LDS, Savill Index etc. We don’t even know if Haskett is a maiden or a married name. There’s a lot of Haskett information about but nothing to tie in to Dorothy LA Haskett. While searching for Dorothy Haskett on the internet, I found that George Edwin Haskett was born in Wattle Flat SA on 25 Jun 1906 to parents Aloysius George Haskett and Minnie Clarke. George Edwin Haskett married Dorothy Yates and had 3 children. He died on 6 Sep 1994 in Victor Harbour (2). The George Edwin Haskett Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that George Edwin James Haskett was born in the Yankalilla District in 1906 to parents George Haskett and Minnie Clarke (3). But I cannot find a suitable Dorothy Yates born c1910, so that may have been a former married name, and not her maiden name, if indeed it is the right person. George Edwin James Haskett was married to Kathleen Joyce Haskett whom he divorced in 1953, so any marriage to Dorothy was after this date, and too recent for genealogical websites: “Undefended Divorce Actions before Mr justice Abbott: Divorces Granted: His Honor granted orders nisi for divorce to the plaintiffs in the following undefended actions yesterday...... George Edwin James Haskett, of Cornhill road, Victor Harbor, against Kathleen Joyce Haskett, of Bordertown, for desertion....” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Friday 4 September 1953 p16 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haskett_dorothy_l.a..jpg 2 http://records.ancestry.com.au/george_edwin_haskett_records.ashx?pid=129066535 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48935347?searchTerm=%22George%20Edwin%22%20Haskett&searchLimits= Private R Hassan died aged 74 yrs on 6 July 1991, late of 2/15 Infantry Battalion, husband of Zellica (Lil), father of Ray, George, Lyn, Karl, Rob, Ron and Judy (1), making his year of birth c1917. A search for R Hassan on the World War Two nominal Roll shows that the only R Hassan (there are three on this roll) born around 1917 was Ray Hassan who was born on 16 Oct 1918 at Wilcannia NSW and was living in Thargomindah Qld when he enlisted on 1 Aug 1940 in Toowoomba Qld in the Australian Army citing as next of kin E Hassan. Private Hassan was discharged on 20 Sep 1945 from 2/15 Battalion (2). This means that rather than being 74 yrs old when he died, he was in his 74th year. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser Newspaper has one for Ray (Chook) Hassan on 8 July 1991 (3). There is no Ray Hassan Marriage Index at GenealogySA and he may have been married outside of SA. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there was no SA birth up to 1928 with the Christian name ‘Zellica’. In a note under the heading "Dorothea's" Social Highlights of the Week: .... The marriage took place at the Oxide Street Methodist Church on Saturday at 5 pm of Miss Zellica Fazulla and Mr Ray Hassan.

The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Gilbert Hatcher’s middle initials were “PC” (2), but it surely is “RC”. The ‘all Hatcher’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Gilbert RC Hatcher and Florence Myrtle __ firstly shows that Gilbert Roy Christopher Hatcher was born in the Port Gawler District in 1890 to parents Charles Hatcher and Emily Clark (3). Gilbert Roy Christopher Hatcher and Florence Myrtle Badcock had 5 children, all born in the Barossa District [1] Gilbert Lindsay Hatcher b1914; [2] Merle Evelyn Hatcher b1917; [3] Maurice Roy Hatcher b1920; [4] Ivor Clarence Hatcher b1923; [5] Clifford Allan Hatcher b1925 (3).

The Henry Haydon Marriage Index shows that Henry Walter Haydon was married in Gawler in 1937 to Doreen Mavis Aunger (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Henry Walter Haydon was born on 27 Jul 1910 in Gawler to parents Walter William Charles Haydon and Rosina Darling Turner (3), and Doreen Mavis Aunger was born on 5 May 1912 in Lewiston SA to parents Thomas James Aunger {born 31 Mar 1862 in the Gawler Hills} and Charlotte Rowley {born 2 Jun 1870 in Myponga SA} (4). “Marriages: Haydon—Aunger: On the 3rd July, at Gawler West, by the Rev DT Reddin, Doreen M, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs TJ Aunger, of Lewiston, to Henry W, eldest son of Mr and Mrs WC Haydon, of Kangaroo Flat” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Tuesday 6 July 1937 p10 (5). The ‘all Haydon’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Walter William Charles Haydon and Rosina Darling Turner shows 3 children, all born in the Barossa District [1] Henry Walter Haydon b1910; [2] Ronald Leonard Haydon b1914; [3] Walter Raymond Haydon b1919 (2).

As Doreen Mavis Haydon’s name does not appear on the Savill Index of funeral notices that have appeared in the Advertiser, I cannot discover the precise day she died in May 2005, but a look at her headstone will show us what’s behind those flowers in the photo. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haydon_henry_walter_&_doreen_mavis.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I531535 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I433767 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30756967 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haydon_ronald_leonard_&_merle_evelyn.jpg 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haydon_walter_raymond.jpg 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I531543 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I531554 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I14978 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I167635 12 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I530703 462 William Walter Haydon died aged 78 yrs on 15 Nov 1966; his wife Lucy Alice Haydon died aged 93 yrs on 22 Oct 1987, parents of first born child Kenneth Haydon, who died aged 22 mths [no date given], Bill, Jim and Roger (1).

The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that William Lloyd Haydon was 46 years old when he died, but it seems more like 66 years to me (9). The ‘all Haydon’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Lloyd Haydon and Mary Ann __ shows he had at least 4 children [1] Charlotte Anne Kate Haydon b1885 to parents William Haydon and Anne Lamb in the Kapunda District; [2] Beatrice Maud Haydon b1886 to parents William Lloyd Haydon and Hanna Lamb in the Barossa District; [3] William Walter Burnett Haydon b1888 to parents William Lloyd Haydon and Ann Lamb in the Burra District; [4] Eva Ruby Haydon b1898 to parents William Lloyd Haydon and Mary Ann Tucker in the Kapunda District (2). William Lloyd Haydon married three times. William Lloyd Haydon’s 1st marriage: “Haydon – Lamb: On tbe 12th January, at Carrieton, by the Rev Father Doyle, William Lloyd, second son of Robert Haydon of Gawler, to Ann, eldest daughter of Peter Lamb, of Kermeon, County Cavan, Ireland” The South Australian Advertiser (Adelaide), Saturday 26 January 1884 p4 (10). The William Haydon Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that William Lloyd Haydon married a further 2 times. William Lloyd Haydon’s 2nd marriage was to Rose Ellen Clarke in 1895 in the Frome district (2). But the Rose Ellen Haydon Death Index at GenealogySA shows she died in the Burra District the following year (1896) with nominated relative her husband William Lloyd Haydon (2). Then in 1897 William Lloyd Haydon’s 3rd marriage to Mary Ann Schollar in the Clare District (2). The ‘all Schollar’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Mary Ann Tucker was first married in the Port Adelaide District in 1884 to Richard Schollar (2). On the website MyHeritage, there are the personal details of Edith Amy Forgie nee Schollar (1892-1977). Her parents were Richard Schollar {born on 26 May 1861 at Reed Beds, Adelaide} and Mary Ann Tucker {born on 21 Oct 1865 at Port Adelaide}. Edith Amy Schollar was married aged 25 yrs in 1917 to Frank Gordon Forgie {born in Gawler on 14 June 1890}, had 3 children and died in 1977 (12). Back on RootsWeb, Eva Ruby Haydon was born on 1 Aug 1898 in Kapunda SA to parents William Lloyd Haydon and Mary Ann Tucker (13), and to confirm her details, Mary Ann Tucker was born on 21 Oct 1865 in Port Adelaide to parents William Tucker and Mary Ann Price (14), but I haven’t been able to ascertain William Lloyd Haydon’s precise date of birth. At least we can confirm when he died and that he was aged 66 yrs: “Deaths: Haydon: On the 16th December, at Water street, Gawler South, William Lloyd Haydon, the beloved husband of Mary Ann Haydon, aged 66 years” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Friday 17 December 1920 p8 (15). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haydon_william_walter,_lucy_alice_&_kenneth.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I531552 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I14979 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I731405 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/100411721?searchTerm=Kenneth%20Haydon&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87447083?searchTerm=Kenneth%20Haydon&searchLimits= 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haydon_william_lloyd_&_mary_ann.jpg 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35952850?searchTerm=lamb haydon&searchLimits= 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I14952 12 http://www.myheritage.com/names/amy_schollar 13 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I14952

The Robert Haydon Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Robert Cooper Haydon was married in the Hindmarsh District in 1919 to Florence Evelyn Aunger (2). Geoffrey Angus Haydon died aged 66 yrs on 17 March 1996, husband of Melva, father of Bronte, Dennis, Joylene, Leanne and Peter (3). On a similar plaque, Melva Mahala Haydon died aged 72 yrs on 23 May 2000, wife of Geoffrey and mother of the same (4). It is too recent to find details of the marriage of Geoffrey and Melva Haydon on genealogical websites, so that is all I can find out. On his headstone, Bronte Elwin Haydon was born on 28 April 1956 and died aged 50 yrs on 15 Sept 2006, father of Matthew and Chloe (5). Interestingly one wonders why a wife isn’t mentioned, but again, it is all too recent to find out. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haydon_robert_cooper_&_florence.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haydon_geoffrey_angus.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haydon_melva_mahala.jpg 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haydon_bronte_elwin.jpg Patrick Hayes died in 1918, husband of Catherine, father of 12 (1). The “all Hayes” Birth Index at GenealogySA shows several marriages of a Patrick Hayes to a Catherine __ but only one has many children, that being Patrick Hayes and Catherine O’Toole, although her surname has variable spelling (shown in brackets). I can only find 11 children, but maybe one died very early and not officially recorded, or it may be just another unidentified misspelling. Patrick Hayes is called Patrick Joseph Hayes as father in the 1890 birth. The identified children of Patrick Hayes and Catherine O’Toole are [1] Ellen Hayes b1866 (Toole) in the Kapunda District; [2] Mary Ann Hayes b1869 (Toole) in the Kapunda District; [3] Catherine Hayes b1870 (O’Toole) in the Kapunda District; [4] Patrick Hayes b1872 (Tool) in the Kapunda District; [5] Edward Hayes b1874 (Toole) in the Kapunda District; [6] Thomas Hayes b1876 (Toole) in the Clare District; [7] Margret Hayes b1879 (O’Toole) in the Frome District; [8] James Hayes b1880 (Toole) in the Frome District; [9] Hanorah Hayes b1884 (O’Tolle) in the Frome District; [10] Elizabeth Hayes b1886 (O’Toole) in the Frome District; [11] William Michael Hayes b1890 (O’Toole) in the Frome District (2). On a website called “A tribute to Eileen Gertrude Green”, it tells us that Eileen Gertrude Green was born at Redhill SA on 8 June 1914, and died in Adelaide on 30 June 1991. Her grandfather Patrick Hayes was born about 1840[sic] at Durryvullen or Durevalen, Galway, Ireland, and died in Gawler on 22 February 1918. Patrick Hayes arrived in SA with his parents aboard the Elisa in 1840 and they settled in Kapunda SA. Patrick had three siblings - Bridget, Michael and Ted, although none of them married. Patrick and Catherine were married on 15 July 1865 at Mintaro, in the SA mid-north. The Hayes and Green families are still farming in the area. Patrick and Catherine Hayes had 12 children - one of them was Margaret Monica Hayes who was Eileen Green's mother. Margaret Hayes, known as Maggie, was married on 19 July 1910 at Caltowie SA to William Ambrose Green. Maggie Hayes was the 4th daughter {this matches what we found} of Mr P Hayes of Wirrabara, which was noted in the Chronical (Adelaide) on 6 Aug 1910 (3). At least this shows us that we are dealing with the correct family.Patrick Hayes died in 1918: “Death: Hayes: On the 22nd February, at the residence of his daughter (Mrs Frost), Willaston, Patrick Hayes, aged 85 years, a colonist of 73 years (late of Wirrabara)” The Register, Saturday 23 February 1918 p6 (4). This gives us his precise date of death and his age, and the fact that he must have arrived in SA in 1842 aged 9 yrs old, rather than in 1840 as claimed above, providing that the ages and dates are correct, and his year of birth c1833. Catherine Hayes died in 1903: “Deaths: Hayes: On the 16th October, at Wirrabara, Catherine Elizabeth, dearly beloved wife of Patrick Joseph Hayes, aged 59 years, leaving a sorrowful husband, six sons, five daughters to mourn their sad loss, late of Kapunda” The Register (Adelaide), Thursday 29 October 1903 p4 (5). This confirms their middlenames, as well as having 11 living children in 1903, although I count five sons and six daughters. The Catherine Hayes ‘South Australia Cemeteries Index’ at GenealogySA shows that she was buried aged 59 yrs in 1903 in Wirrabara Cemetery (2), showing her to be about 11 yrs younger than Patrick (born c1844). The Patrick Hayes Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows he married Catherine O’Toole in 1865 in the Clare District (2), meaning he was about 32 yrs old and she was a 21 year-old. According to the website of the District Council of Mt Remarkable at Melrose SA, Catherine Hayes aged 59 yrs was buried in the Catholic A Section of Wirrabara Cemetery on Sunday, 18 Oct 1903 (6). On the Gawler Council Website, Patrick Hayes aged 85 yrs who last resided in Willaston was buried 24 Feb 1918 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 62 D 3, with Father Mc Evoy officiating (7). I have been unable to discover Patrick Hayes’ precise date of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hayes_patrick.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.dalyclan.middlekingdom.com.au/Green/EileenBio.htm 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/60336531?searchTerm=Patrick%20Hayes&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/60004540?searchTerm=Catherine Hayes Patrick Wirrabara&searchLimits= 6 http://www.mtr.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?u=220&c=28557 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32273 Alfred H Hayhurst died aged 71 yrs on 9 Dec 1962; his wife Myrtle Hayhurst died aged 79 yrs on 3 March 1978 (1), making their years of birth c1891 and c1899 respectively. The Alfred Hayhurst Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Alfred Henry Hayhurst was married in Adelaide in 1925 to Myrtle Robina Dorothy Speck (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Myrtle Robina Dorothy Speck was born on 23 Feb 1899 at Lyndoch Rd SA to parents George Speck and Bertha Paulina Boeckmann (3), but as there were no Hayhurst births in SA up to 1918, naturally there are no birth details of Alfred Henry Hayhurst. He clearly wasn’t born in SA. In fact, he wasn’t even born in Australia: “Speck —Hayhurst: The engagement is announced of Myrtle, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs C Speck, Gawler, to Alfred, eldest son of Mr and Mrs Hayhurst, Peterborough, England” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Friday 16 May 1924 p12 (4). The website of the National Archives of Australia has no details of Alfred Henry Hayhurst, and eneral Googling didn’t help, so I am unable to find his exact date of birth, or when he came to Australia. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hayhurst_alfred_h_&_myrtle.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I352383 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36670692?searchTerm=Hayhurst%20Speck&searchLimits= Lloyd Haynes died on 2 May 1944; his wife May Haynes died on 21 Sep 1957, parents of Ivy, Elvia, Desmond and Valda (1). The Lloyd Haynes Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows he was married in the Frome District in 1912 to May Dreyer (2). The ‘all Haynes’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Lloyd Haynes and May Dreyer show only 2 recorded births to this couple, both in the Frome District [1] Ivy Irene Haynes b1913; [2] Elvia Gladys Haynes b1916 (2). Were the younger 2 children noted on the headstone just not
recorded, or were they born interstate, or were they adopted? A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Lloyd Haynes was born on 20 Jul 1886 in Erskine SA to parents Thomas Haynes and Elizabeth Knight (3), and May Dreyer was born on 2 May 1892 in Walloway SA to parents Charles Louis Frederick Dreyer and Alice Emily Webb (4). This tells us that Lloyd Haynes was 57 yrs when he died and May Haynes 65 yrs old. To confirm what we found from another source, the LDS site has some information about Lloyd Haynes and his family. Lloyd Haynes was born 20 Jul 1886 Erskine SA which means he was only 57 when he died. His parents were Thomas Giles Abbott Haynes b1856 and Elizabeth Knight born 29 Apr 1858 Port Elliot SA, who had married 16 Apr 1878 Port Elliot. Lloyd Haynes was married 20 Mar 1912 Walloway SA to May Dreyer born 2 May 1892 Walloway (5). Staying on LDS and going back one generation from Lloyd Haynes, we see his father Thomas Giles Abbott Haynes was born in 1856 to parents Thomas Haynes (born abt 1820) and Ann Abbott (b1835, England), who had married on 22 Oct 1851 nr Port Elliot SA. Lloyd Haynes was married in 1878 at Port Elliot to Elizabeth Knight. The children of Lloyd Haynes and Elizabeth Knight included [1] Arthur Haynes born 26 Mar 1880 Walloway SA; [2] Frank Haynes born 19 Apr 1882 Erskine SA; [3] Lance Haynes born 2 May 1884 Middleton SA; [4] Essie May Haynes born 20 Jul 1886 Erskine; [5] Lloyd Haynes born 20 Jul 1886 Erskine; [6] Olive Haynes born 24 Sep 1890 Erskine; [7] Ruby Haynes born 2 Jun 1894 Erskine; [8] Emily Haynes born 15 Feb 1896 Erskine; [9] Horace Haynes born 9 Sep 1898 Erskine; [10] At least one more ‘Living female’ Haynes (6). Further information can be found on the LDS website about the family of Thomas Giles Abbott Haynes and Elizabeth Knight: The parents of Elizabeth Knight were George Knight and Elizabeth Tims; [1] Arthur Haynes was married on 8 Oct 1902 at Peak Vale SA to Mabel May Roberts; [2] Frank Haynes was married on 18 May 1910 at Orroroo SA to Ada Beatrice Shepherd; [3] Lance Haynes was married on 23 Aug 1911 at Erskine to Adelaide Amelia; [4] Essie May Haynes was married on 11 Sep 1913 at Erskine to Henry Lambert; [5] Lloyd Haynes, as we know, was married on 20 Mar 1912 at Walloway to May Dreyer; [6] Olive Haynes was married on 15 Feb 1911 at Erskine to Robert George Hollitt (7). Finally on the LDS website, Ada Beatrice Shepherd was born in 1891 to father Samuel Shepherd. She was married aged 19 yrs to Frank Haynes aged 28 yrs in 1910 (8). On their headstone, Frank Haynes died aged 67 yrs on 14 Oct 1948; his wife Ada Beatrice Haynes died aged 75 yrs on 26 Oct 1965 (9). We now have the Frank Haynes date of birth and can say that he was only 66 yrs old when he died, in his 67th year. The ‘all Haynes’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Frank Haynes and Ada Beatrice Shepherd shows 7 recorded children, all born in the Frome District [1] Wilfred Roy Haynes b1912; [2] Albert Thomas George Haynes b1911; [3] Ernest Edward Haynes b1914; [4] Vera Maud Haynes b1916; [5] Violet Lorna Haynes b1919; [6] Rex Gordon Haynes b1921; [7] Douglas Charles Haynes b1924 (2). On his headstone, Douglas Charles Haynes died aged 58 yrs on 22 Aug 1983, husband of Kathleen Dawn, father of Raymond and Colin (10). On their headstone, Ernest Edward Haynes died aged 72 yrs on 24 May 1986; his wife Edna Jean Haynes died aged 76 yrs on 16 April 1996, parents of Graham, Gloria, Allen, Melville, Heather, Eileen, Lyall and Daryl. There is an army insignia on the headstone (11). I cannot find a wedding notice for Ernest and Edna Haynes, and there’s no mention at GenealogySA. However, a general Google shows a website dedicated to the Winchester family of South Australia, where it tells us that Eva Jane Winchester (30 Nov 1880 Terowie SA - 4 Nov 1941 Wirrabara SA) was married on 21 Feb 1900 Terowie to Josiah Hollitt (born 1865), son of George Hollitt and Mary Ann Ashbury of Bedford Farm, south of Wirrabara. They had 10 children, which included Edna Jean Hollitt b1919 who married Ernest Edward Haynes (12). A likely maiden name helps find their engagement notice: “Hollitt—Haynes: The engagement is announced of Edna J, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs J Hollitt, Wirrabara, to Ernest E, 2nd AIF, third son of Mr and Mrs F Haynes, of Gawler SA” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Saturday 17 August 1940 p8 (13). Back to the RootsWeb SA births website, Douglas Charles Haynes was born on 20 Sep 1924 in Orroroo SA to parents Frank Haynes and Ada Beatrice Shepherd (14), Ernest Edward Haynes was born on 30 Jan 1914 in Orroroo to parents Frank Haynes and Ada Beatrice Sheppard[sic] (15), Edna Jean Hollitt was born on 29 Sep 1919 in Wirrabara SA to parents Josiah Hollitt and Eva Jane Winchester (16), but there is no record of the birth of Ada Beatrice Shepherd / Sheppard at RootsWeb. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haynes_lloyd_&_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I15597 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I436455 5 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I39538&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I39509&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F10160&tree=SouthAustralia 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I39617&tree=SouthAustralia 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haynes_frank_&_ada_beatrice.jpg 10 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haynes_douglas_charles.jpg 11 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haynes_ernest_edward_&_edna_jean.jpg 12 http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jksgenie/amkfamily/winchester.htm 13 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30586253?searchTerm=Hollitt Haynes&searchLimits= 14 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I531971 15 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I531892 16 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I541186 467 Frank John Heading died on 9 July 1948, husband of Margaret Heading (1), which doesn’t tell us his year of birth or the age he was when he died. On his headstone, Frank W Heading died aged 45 yrs on 2 April 1963, the son of Frank and Margaret Heading (2). The ‘all Heading’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Frank John Heading and Margaret __ firstly shows that Frank John Heading was born in Adelaide in 1871 to parents John Heading and Martha Ann Lommon (3). Then it shows the 3 recorded children, all born in Adelaide to parents Frank John Heading and Margaret Amelia Mortimer [1] Joyce Heading b1914; [2] Frank William Heading b1917; [3] Lorna May Heading b1919 (3). The ‘all Heading’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Heading and Martha Ann Lommon shows that Frank John Heading was 3rd born in a total of 15 children recorded as being born to this couple, the first 9 in Adelaide, and the last 6 in the Norwood District, with mother’s maiden name in brackets) [1] Ella Heading b1868 (Loman); [2] Ada Louisa Heading b1870 (Lomman); [3] Frank John Heading b1871 (Lommon); [4] Alice Mary Heading b1873 (Loman); [5] Martha Amy Heading b1875 (Lomman); [6] Ellen Ann Heading b1876 (Lomman); [7] Edith Maria Heading b1878 (Lomman); [8] Bertha Eliza Heading b1880 (Loman); [9] Joseph Henry Heading b1881 (Lomman); [10] Emily Selina Heading b1883 (Loman); [11] Maud Betsy Heading b1885 (Loman); [12] Walter Thomas Heading b1887 (Lomman); [13] Harrold Reginald Heading b1889 (Lomman); [14] Leslie Charles Heading b1891 (Loman); [15] Hilda Blanche Heading b1897 (Loman) (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Frank John Heading was born on 25 Nov 1871 in Campbelltown, Adelaide to parents John Heading {born c1846} and Martha Ann Lommon[sic] {Martha Ann Loman was born c1851}, and Frank John Heading died aged 76 yrs on 9 July 1948 in hospital in Gawler, his last residence being at Wasleys (4). His son Frank William Heading was born on 6 Sep 1917 at Gilles Plains SA to
parents Frank John Heading and Margaret Amelia Mortimer (5). A fuller story can be found using the LDS website which tells us that Frank John Heading was born on 25 Nov 1871 in Campbelltown SA to parents John Heading (born 9 Feb 1846 Bourn, Cambridgeshire, England and died 1935 Payneham SA) and Martha Ann Lomman (b1851 SA) who had married on 18 Feb 1868 Magill SA. Frank John Heading was first married on 2 Dec 1891 in Kensington to Wilhelmina Henrietta Anna Fischer [born 21 Feb 1869 Port Gawler, died 21 Feb 1913 Mile End SA]. His second marriage was on 26 Mar 1914 Adelaide to Margaret Amelia Mortimer [born 6 Mar 1888 Kooringa SA] (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heading_frank_john.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heading_frank_w.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I16327 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I532290 6 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I25503&tree=SouthAustralia 468 This hard-to-read headstone relates to James Healy who died, and Margaret Healy who died in ?1884, and listed below are the names of 4 of their children (at least that’s what I think it says): George, William, Matthew, Ellen (1). Why no entry for Margaret Healy on the “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), where she is not even mentioned? The ‘all Healy’ {including homophones} Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of James Healy and Margaret ___ firstly shows that a James Healey / Healey had 2 children with a Mary Somers, both in the Port Gawler District [1] Thomas Healy b1859; [2] Eliza Healey b1861 (3). Then James Healy / Healey {if he’s the same person} had 4 children, again all born in the Port Gawler District with Margaret Brown [1] William James Healey b1864; [2] George Healy b1866; [3] Ellen Healy b1869; [4] Matthew Patrick Healy b1878 (3). These children’s names exactly match those on the headstone, if not in the same order. The James Healy Marriage index at GenealogySA shows James Healy was married in the Barossa District in 1858 to Mary Summers[sic], and James Healy was married in the Barossa District in 1862 to Margaret Brown (3). The Mary Healy Death Index at GenealogySA shows a Mary Healy dying in the Port Gawler District in 1862 (3), which if it is the same Mary Healy, it would have freed James to marry Margaret Brown later in 1862 (3). On a general internet search for this Healy/Healey family, I came across ‘AUS-SAGEN-L Archives - Archiver > AUS-SAGEN > 2008-03 > 1205058289’: Healy/Healey Matters: James Healy (1834 – 1903) married (1) Mary Somers and (2) Margaret Brown (1835 – 1884). Children from both marriages are: [1] Thomas Healy 1859 - (?) b. Peachy Belt; [2] Eliza Healy (1861 – 1939) born Peachy Belt, married Thomas Henry Matters (1862-1926), ... [3] William James Healy b1864 Peachy Belt, married Mary Jane Callaghan b1873. Their children: William James Healy b1909 , Elizabeth Una Healy b1912; [4] George Francis Healy (1866 – 1924) married Elizabeth Josephine Judd (1864 – 1931); [5] Ellen Healy b1869; [6] Matthew Patrick Joseph Healy b1878, married Eva Johanna Mary Gambrell b1875. Their children: Monica Eva Healy b1910, Maurice Mat Healy b1918. ..... (4), all this tallying with the information on the headstone, and what we have discovered on searches. Margaret Healy dies: “Death: Healey: On April 21st, at Kangaroo Flat, Margaret, wife of James Healey, of Reeves Plains, who came to her death by her clothes accidentally catching fire in her cart while driving home from Gawler; aged 47; deeply regretted by all” Bunyip, Friday 25 April 1884 p2 (5). Despite a lot of searching, I haven’t been able to find an obituary, death or funeral notice for James Healy / Healey. On the Town of Gawler website, Margaret Healey aged 47 years from Kangaroo Flat was buried on 23 April 1884 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 19 Q 3, with Rev Kelly officiating (6). Also, James Healey aged 67 years from Reeves Plains was buried 6 June 1903 in the same Plot/Grave/Niche 19 Q 3, with Father O'Neil officiating (7). I haven’t been able to find where Mrs Mary Healy is buried, it hasn’t come up on the Willaston Cemetery search, and she is not on the lists of those buried in the old Pioneer Park Cemetery. However we can confidently say that James Healey, as it seems he was spelling his surname as such later in his lifetime, being 67 yrs old when he died on or around 5 June 1903, must have been born about 1836. But the strong message is to leave is to at least ask that Margaret Healy be given her own entry on the H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery! 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/healy_james.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/AUS-SAGEN/2008-03/1205058289 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97211896?searchTerm=Healey&searchLimits=l-title=371 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30219 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31306 469 ST Hebbard, an ex-driver in the Army Service Corps has a military plaque that says he died aged 72yrs on 13 June 1965 (1). A search of First World War Embarkation Rolls at the Australian War Memorial website shows that Private Stephen Thomas Hebbard served in the First World War, and was part of South Australian Reinforcements (May-October 1918) who left for overseas from Melbourne on 23 July 1918 aboard HMAT Marathon A74. When he enlisted aged 25 yrs on 27 May 1918, he was a labourer, and a widower, living at Snowtown SA, and his next of kin was his father Mr T Hebbard of Piper Street, South Broken Hill NSW (2). A look on the World War Two Nominal Roll reveals that Stephen Thomas Hebbard was born in Broken Hill NSW on 22 May 1893 and was living in Gawler SA when he enlisted on 23 Apr 1942 at Salisbury SA in the Australian Army, citing as next of kin Elizabeth Hebbard. Private Hebbard was discharged on 3 Sep 1944 from 10 Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps (3). Before the Courts: “Tax Cases: Failing to furnish an income tax return last year cost the following: .....

The ‘all Heinrich’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Hermann Adolph Heinrich was married in Adelaide in 1924 to Hilda Florence Lutzow (2), and the corresponding Birth Index reveals that Denis Reginald Heinrich was born in the Barossa District in 1925 to parents Hermann Adolph Heinrich and Hilda Florence Lutzow (2). The LDS website has only limited information about Hermann Adolf Heinrich, who was born 17 Apr 1895 Hd of English SA. His father Johann Gottlieb Ernst Heinrich [born 1 Nov 1858 Hassels Valley SA] and his mother was Marie Elizabeth Jericho [born 20 May 1864 St Kitts SA], his parents marrying on the 3 Nov 1886 St Kitts (3). On his headstone Max Victor (‘Plume’) Heinrich died aged 59 yrs on 11 Dec 1988, husband of Margaret Joyce, father of Susan, Ian, Cathryn and David (4). The birth of Max Victor Heinrich: “Heinrich (nee Hilda Lutzow): On the 10th November, at Alice Springs Hospital, to Mr and Mrs HA Heinrich, of Hermansberg Mission—a son (Max Victor)” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Friday 29 November 1929 p24 (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Hilda Florence Lutzow was born as Hilda Florance[sic] Lutzow on 4 Apr 1899 in Springton SA to parents Gustav Adolph Lutzow and Emma Ida Brokate (6). On a website devoted to the ‘Lehmann Henschke’ family history, Hermann Adolf Heinrich (born 17 Apr 1895 at Point Pass SA, and died 22 Dec 1959 in Gawler SA to parents Johann Gottlieb Ernst Heinrich [born 1 Nov 1858, died 23 Jul 1931] and Marie Elisabeth Jericho [born 20 May 1864, and died 20 Aug 1909]) was a teacher who was married on 28 Feb 1924 at Flinders Street Lutheran Church, Adelaide to Hilda Florence Lutzow (born 4 Apr 1899 at Springton SA to parents Gustav Adolph Lutzow [born 10 Mar 1863, died 8 Nov 1934] and Emma Ida Brokate [born 26 Dec 1865]) (7). According to “Footprints: Gawler Significant Identities” (Town of Gawler, 1st Edition Jan 2008 ISBN 978-0-646-48588-1), Hilda Heinrich and Max Heinrich both feature on page 33. Hilda Heinrich, married to a teacher, “Dolf” Heinrich, raised their 4 children plus a foster child Deanna. After “Dolf died”, she joined the Ladies Committee at the Gawler Institute, and “ran the Institute lending library for years” as well as being involved with many community programs. She “was awarded the OAM in 1982”. Her son Max Victor Heinrich was a “key player in South Gawler Football Club’s 1960 A Grade Premiership, and after his playing career, served for many years as head trainer, and is now “deeply revered at etched into the club psyche”. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinrich_h.a._&_hilda_florence.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I276654&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinrich_max_victor.jpg 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29640685?searchTerm=%22Max%20Victor%22%20heinrich&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I87869 7 http://graememoad.com/Family/WC130/WC130_159.HTM 471 Olga Heinrich, sister to Hilda, Martha, Sophie, died on 26 Aug 1___; Hilda Heinrich died on 26 July 1__9 (1). The Olga Heinrich Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Olga Emma Mary Heinrich died in Gawler in 1962, with nominated relative MS Foster, with the letter “T” in brackets, whatever that means (2). There is an Olga Emma Marie Heinrich Birth Index at GenealogySA which says she was born in the Kapunda District in 1891 to parents Frederick Gustav Heinrich and Mary Brus (2), which implies that Olga Heinrich did not marry. The ‘all Heinrich’ {and homophones} Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Frederick Gustav Heinrich and Mary Brus shows 5 children, written in full to highlight the spelling variations and the use of multiple first names [1] Oscar Frederick Gustav Heinrich b1890 to parents Frederick Gustav Heinrich and Maria Dorethea Johanna Brus in the Kapunda District; [2] Olga Emma Marie Heinrich b1891 to parents Frederick Gustav Heinrich and Mary Brus in the Kapunda District; [3] Alma Martha Johanna Heinrich b1893 to parents Friedrich Gustav Heinrich and Johanna Dorethea Marie Brus in the Kapunda District; [4] Martha Henriette Hulda Heinrich b1895 to parents Frederich Gustav Heinrich and Marie Dorethea Johanna Brus in the Kapunda District; [5] Martha Sophie Henrich[sic] b1897 to parents Frederick Gustave Henrich and Mary Brus in the Barossa District (2). The Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper shows one for Hilda Heinrich on 30 July 1979 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Hilda Heinrich was born Martha Henriette Hulda Heinrich on 24 May 1895 in Sandy Creek SA to parents Frederich Gustav Heinrich and Marie Dorethea Johanna Brus (4), and Olga Emma Marie Heinrich was born on 20 Oct 1891 in Schomburgk near Morgan SA to the same parents Frederick Gustav Heinrich and Mary Brus (5). Most likely Martha Henrietta Hulda Heinrich is the Hilda we are looking for. Like their older brother Oscar, the two unmarried Heinrichs Olga and Hilda / Hulda were running a pub together: “East Mid-Land Licensing Court [Before Mr Johnson SM].

Louisa Johanna Heinrich died aged 60 yrs on __ Nov 1930, and Johann Herman Heinrich died aged 76 yrs on 27 Aug 1__ (1). On the LDS site, Johann Hermann Heinrich was born on 3 Oct 1868 Julia Creek or Eudunda SA, died 26 Aug 1945 Gawler SA and is buried in Willaston. His occupation was as a farmer, residing at Moorook, Loxton, then Gawler. Johann Hermann Heinrich’s parents were Julius Gotthelf Heinrich [born 5 Dec 1838 at sea aboard the Catharina] and Johanna Auguste Elix [b1845, died 24 Jan 1885 Edithburgh SA], who were married on 21 Apr 1864 at Schoenborn SA. Johann Hermann Heinrich married twice. He was first married on 5 Feb 1892 to Louise Johanna Geitz, who was born on 8 Dec 1870 Saddleworth SA to parents were Christian Geitz and Albertina Schwarz, and she died 9 Nov 1930. The children of Johann Hermann Heinrich and Louise Johanna Geitz were [1] Louise Matilda Gersch nee Heinrich (b1893); [2] Elsie Agnes Schubert nee Heinrich (1895-1945); [3] Elizabeth Maria Koenig nee Heinrich (b1897); [4] Gertrude Emilie Frost nee Heinrich (1899-1971); [5] Maria Esther Klemm nee Heinrich (b1901); [6] Ernest Hermann Heinrich (b1903); [7] Walter John Heinrich (1906-1969); [8] Rubine Elliott nee Heinrich (b1909); [9] Vera Post nee Heinrich, then Vera Korz (b1911). Johann Hermann married 4 years after his first wife died: in 1934 he was married to Mrs Sophie Pauline Pfeiffer nee Schultz who was born 27 June 1872 and she died 23 Sept 1953. There were no children from this marriage (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinrich_louisa_johanna_&_johann_herman.jpg
2 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I276609&tree=SouthAustralia 473 This headstone, moved from Pioneer Park, is said to be Robert Heinrich, but to me it seems more like Heinrich is the first name, the surname being ?Norff born __ November __, died __ __ (1). When searching the names at the Gawler Old Cemetery (Pioneer Park) Name Index, the name Heinrich is only mentioned once – on Panel 4, when it notes that Heinrich Korff aged 8 yrs died in 1856 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Johann Heinrich Korff was born on 28 Nov 1848 in Tanunda SA to parents Johann Korff and Agnes Kannengeaser (3). On searching old newspapers, it seems Heinrich Korff’s father, John Korff, took over the running of the Gawler Arms Hotel in 1850: “List of Transfers of Publicans' Licences at the Quarterly Meeting of the Bench of Magistrates, in and for the Province of South Australia, held at the Supreme Court-house, Victoria-square, by adjournment, on Monday, the 23rd day of September, 1850: .... From John Marsden to John Korff, Gawler Arms, Gawler Town. ..”. South Australian Register, Friday 27 September 1850 p3 (4). The FamilySearch website’s Community Trees {LDS} has information about John Korff. John Frederick Korff was born 21 June 1817, died 18 Jan 1876 nr Gawler, and buried in Gawler (it is thought but not confirmed that he was born in Furstenau, nr Osnabruck, Hanover, Germany, and arrived 1846 on the Pauline, occupation publican, residing Gawler, Lyndoch Valley, Kappler). On 23 Dec 1847 at Angaston, he married Wilhelmine Marie Agnes Kannengiesser [born 7 Feb 1827, died 15 Aug1902 Gawler]. Their children included [1] Johann Heinrich Korff born 28 Nov 1848 Tanunda and died 23 Aug 1856 Gawler (in his 8th year); [2] Wilhelmina Charlotte Louisa Smith nee Korff born 16 Jun 1850 Gawler, died 1928; [3] Doris Korff (1852-1934); [4] Johann Friedrich Korff born 22 Dec 1856 Gawler (5). So “Robert Heinrich” is really “Johann Heinrich Korff” and this entry should be moved to the “K” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinrich_robert.jpg 2 http://headstones.weebly.com/uploads/9/5/2/0/952055/gawler_old_cemetery_name_index.pdf 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I67633 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/38443731?searchTerm=Heinrich%20Korff&searchLimits= 5 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I119614&tree=SouthAustralia 474 Benjamin John Helps died aged 67 yrs on 19 May 1917; Jane Helps died aged 86 yrs on 23 Nov 1940; Martha Helps died aged 17 yrs died 3 Nov 1899; Alice Marion Helps died aged 14 mths on 27 Jan 1889; James Hanne Helps died aged 4 mths on 14 Jan 1886 (1). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has omitted the clearly marked age of Martha Helps’ death as 17 years (2). On the LDS site Community Trees, we fortunately find this family in some detail. Benjamin John Helps was born 9 Aug 1850 Munno Para (which makes him in his 67th year, but actually still 66 when he died – Editor JAS note). His parents were Stephen Helps {born 1827, and died 1 Jul 1887 Salisbury SA} and Martha Duck {born 1824, and died 6 Dec 1871 Salisbury SA}. Benjamin John Helps was married 13 Mar 1878 in Port Adelaide to Jane Cawrse, born 5 Aug 1854 Gawler Plains. Their children were [1] Emily Jane Helps born 1 May 1880 nr Wasleys; [2] Martha Helps born 19 Feb 1882 Wasleys; [3] Stephen Helps born 27 Jan 1883 Wasleys; [4] James Hanne Helps born 7 Sep 1885 Woolsheds SA; [5] Elizabeth Arundel Helps born 11 Nov 1887 Woolsheds; [6] Alice Marion Helps born 11 Nov 1887 Woolsheds (3). The Town of Gawler website tells us that Martha Helps aged 17 yrs from Roseworthy was buried 5 Nov 1899 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 21 O 1, Rev Mr Batten officiating (4). Benjamin John Helps aged 67 from Willaston was buried 20 May 1917 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 21 O 1 [with Martha], Rev S Kessell officiating (5). Jane Helps aged 86 years from Willaston was buried 24 Sept 1940 Willaston Cemetery re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 21 O 1 [with Benjamin and Martha], Rev Tresise officiating (6). Mr Benjamin John Helps dies: “Deaths: Helps: On the 19th May, suddenly, at his residence, Willaston, Benjamin John, the beloved husband of Jane Helps, aged 67 years” The Register (Adelaide), Monday 21 May 1917 p6 (7). Miss Martha Helps dies: “Sad Case of Suicide: A Young Woman Drowns Herself: A sad case of suicide occurred at Woolsheds, near Wasleys, on Friday night last {Fri 3 Nov}. A young woman, eighteen years of age, daughter of Mr BJ Helps, while suffering from temporary insanity after an attack of influenza, put an end to her life by drowning herself in a tank. Mr G Thompson JP held an enquiry on Saturday at Mr Helps' residence, Mr JJ Work was foreman of the jury. Benjamin John Helps identified the body as that of his daughter. ...... Had always been on good terms with the deceased, and she had been a remarkably good girl. Had had no occasion for years to rebuke her. She had never been keeping company with any young man to his knowledge. She was of a cheerful disposition. She had not had a quarrel recently with any of the family or any other person. She had never threatened to take her life. ..... Stephen Helps, of Wasleys, brother of deceased, corroborated. ..... It was quite impossible for anyone to go through the opening of the tank accidentally. There was about 5 feet 6 inches of water. The jury returned the following verdict: — "That the deceased, Martha Helps, came to her death by suicide whilst temporarily insane, probably the result of an attack of influenza." Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 10 November 1899 p4 (8). Mrs Jane Helps dies: “Helps: On the 23rd of September, at her residence, Willaston, Jane, widow of Benjamin John Helps, aged 86 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 26 September 1940 p21 (9), but I cannot find any record of a newspaper death notice for either of the two younger children Alice Marion or James Hanne Helps, to confirm their precise dates of death. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/hj/helps_benjamin_john,_james_hanne,_alice_marion,_jane_&_martha.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I188810&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30950 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32230 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33542 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/59148083?searchTerm=benjamin helps&searchLimits= 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97581155?searchTerm=Benjamin%20Helps&searchLimits=l-title=371 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92399156?searchTerm=jane helps&searchLimits= 475 Mervyn Helps died 18 June 1939. His twin brother John Alfred Helps died 8 August 1939, twin sons of Albert and Winifred Helps (1). “Helps: On the 8th of August at Mareeba Hospital, Woodville, Alfred John, beloved twin Infant son of Albert Sydney and Winifred Helps, of Wasleys, aged 7 weeks and 2 days” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Wednesday 9 August 1939 p14 (2). According to the Town of Gawler website, Mervyn Helps aged 3 hr from Gawler was buried 18 June 1939 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 30 D 4, with Rev Hunt officiating (3). His twin brother John Alfred Helps aged 7 weeks from Gawler was buried 9 Aug 1939 Willaston Cemetery in the same Plot/Grave/Niche 30 D 4, again with Rev Hunt officiating (4). On their headstone, Winifred Alison Helps died aged 58 yrs on 8 Dec 1970; her husband Albert Sydney Helps died aged 69 yrs on 26 Dec 1976; parents of John and Mervyn [both dec’d], Barbara, Kathleen, Shirley and David (5). This means that, by my calculation, Winifred Helps was born c1912 and Albert Helps c1907. The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Winifred Alison Helps died aged 69 yrs on 8 Dec 1976 (6), although the headstone clearly says 58 yrs on 8 Dec 1970. There is no Albert Sydney Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but the corresponding Birth Index shows that he
was born in the Barossa District in 1908 to parents Alfred Albert Helps and Elizabeth Winter Hayden (7). On his headstone, Alfred Helps died aged 51 yrs on 12 April 1920, husband of Elizabeth Helps (8), meaning he was born c1869. On a separate headstone, Elizabeth Winter Helps died, aged 94 yrs, on 31 May 1973 (9), making her year of birth c1879. We know from the above that her maiden name was Hayden. The ‘all Helps’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Alfred Albert Helps and Elizabeth Winter Hayden shows the birth of 4 children, all born in the Barossa District to parents Alfred Albert Helps and Elizabeth Winter Hayden / Haydon / Hoydon [1] Edward Jeremiah Helps b1901; [2] Walter William Helps b1903; [3] Elizabeth May Helps b1906; [4] Albert Sidney Helps b1908 (7). This same ‘all Helps’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Alfred Albert Helps was born in Adelaide in 1868 to parents Thomas Helps and Mary Ann King (7). On his half of the headstone, Edward Jeremiah Helps died aged 83 yrs on 18 June 1985, husband of Kathleen (10). And on their headstone, Walter William Helps died aged 66 yrs on 20 Feb 1970; Dorothy Jessie Helps died aged 73 yrs on 31 Oct 1978 (11), presumably they were a married couple. The Walter Helps Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Marriage Index there are two marriages recorded in 1929, presumably one was a mistake. The first record says that Walter William Helps was married in Adelaide to Dorothy Hoskins, and the second record says that he married Dorothy Jessie Hoskins Brown (7). At this stage, probably the latter is the correct one, with the same middle name. We have two possible maiden names, which is better than with Winifred Alison Helps so far with none. After much searching: Approaching Marriages: “Short —Helps: The marriage of Winnifred[sic] A, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs JH Short, of Prospect, to Albert S, youngest son of Mrs and the late Mr AA Helps, of Wasleys, will be solemnised at the Church of Christ, Prospect, on the 19th of February, at 7 pm. Reception at Maple Leaf Cafe” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 17 February 1938 p20 (12). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Albert Sydney Helps was born Albert Sidney[sic] Helps on 16 Dec 1908 in Gawler to parents Alfred Albert Helps and Elizabeth Winter Hayden[sic] (13), Alfred Albert Helps was born on 8 Oct 1868 in Para Hills SA to parents Thomas Helps and Mary Ann King (14), Edward Jeremiah Helps was born on 16 Aug 1901 at Kangaroo Flat SA to parents Alfred Albert Helps and Elizabeth Winter Hoydon[sic] (15), Walter William Helps was born on 20 Aug 1903 at Kangaroo Flat to parents Alfred Albert Helps and Elizabeth Winter Haydon (16), Elizabeth Winter Hayden was born Elizabeth Winter Haydon on 19 May 1879 at Kangaroo Flat to parents Walter Winter Haydon and Jane Ann Hogben (17), and there is no Dorothy Hoskins born c1905, although there is no record of a Dorothy Jessie Hoskins Brown either, so I’ll need to look further. “At the Baptist Church: Helps-Hoskins Wedding: At the Tynte Street Baptist Church, North Adelaide, the marriage was celebrated of Walter William, second son of the late Mr A Helps and Mrs Helps, of Wasleys, to Dorothy Jessie, daughter of Mr and Mrs GA Hoskins, of Prospect. .... “ The Register News-Pictorial (Adelaide), Monday 13 May 1929 p28 (18). This shows that her maiden name was definitely Hoskins. But according to the RootsWeb data, no Dorothy Jessie Hoskins was born c1905, in fact not between 1900 and 1910, in SA.

According to the LDS site, John Thomas Helps was born 2 Jan 1858 Gawler Plains, and died in 1912. His parents were Thomas Helps(born c1826 Wiltshire, England) and Mary Ann Archer (born c1825). On 19 Sep 1900 at Walkerville SA John Thomas Helps married Mary Isabel Fisher (born 1 Sep 1876 Brompton SA). The children of John Thomas Helps and Mary Isabel Fisher included [1] Thomas Murray James Helps born 2 Jul 1901 Walkerville; [2] Mildred Ysult Helps born 26 Sep 1902 Walkerville (2). According to the Town of Gawler website, John Thomas Helps aged 54 yrs who last resided in Willaston was buried on 29 Dec 1912 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/ Grave/ Niche 34 N 2 (3). His wife, Mary Isabel Helps nee Fisher aged 71 yrs who last resided in Collingwood was buried on 19 Sept 1947 Willaston Cemetery Plot/ Grave/ Niche the re-opened 34 N 2, with Rev Fisher officiating (4). So despite not recorded on the headstone, Mary Isabel was re-united with John Thomas Helps after death. Returning to the LDS website, we find more information about the parents of John Thomas Helps. Thomas Helps was born abt 1826 in Wiltshire, England to parents John Helps (born abt 1805) and Mrs Elizabeth Helps (born abt 1804 England), who were married in Wiltshire abt 1825. Thomas Helps {with his wife Mary Ann Archer, whom he had married c1844} arrived in SA in 1854 aboard the Lord of the Isles and resided at Redbanks SA. Thomas Helps died on 10 Jan 1897, and is buried in Burton Cemetery. Mary Ann Helps nee Archer died on 11 April 1903. The children of Thomas Helps and Mary Ann Archer were [1] Sarah Ann Chappell nee Helps born 1844, died 1921; [2] Thomas Helps born 1848, died aged 9 yrs in 1857; [3] George Helps born 1851, died aged 61 yrs on 14 Nov 1912 Dalkey SA; [4] Eliza Elizabeth Menz nee Helps born 25 Apr 1855 New Tiers SA; [5] John Helps born 2 Jan 1857 Gawler Plains SA; [6] John Thomas Helps born 2 Jan 1858 Gawler Plains, and died aged 53 yrs in 1912; [7] Emily Ellis nee Helps born 8 Jun 1860 Gawler Plains; [8] Louisa Scott nee Helps born 30 Apr 1862 Gawler Plains; [9] William Helps born 26 May 1864 Para Plains SA, died aged 79 yrs in 1944; [10] Caroline Pettman nee Helps born 12 Aug 1866 Para Hills, died 1939 (5). On his headstone, William Helps died aged 80 yrs on 17 Aug 1944 (6), making his year of birth c1864, coinciding with the birthdate of William Helps, brother of John Thomas Helps and son of Thomas and Mary Ann Helps. Back on the LDS website, William Helps was born on 26 May 1864 as described above. William Helps was married on 8 Apr 1901 in Wasleys SA to Lydia Dingle (born 30 Sep 1874 Wasleys) (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/helps_john_t.jpg 2 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I276872&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32004

The Elizabeth Hempel Death Index at GenealogySA confirms that Elizabeth Jane Hempel died in Adelaide in 1960, and also tells us that her husband was still alive and his name was George Theodore Oscar Hempel (2). The George Hempel Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that George Theodore Oscar Hempel was married in Adelaide in 1918 to Elizabeth Jane Martin (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that George Theodore Oscar Hempel was born as George Theoder[sic] Oskar[sic] Hempel on 1 Jul 1881 in Nain[sic] SA to parents Eduard Hempel and Wilhelmine Caroline Schlosser (3), but there are two possible Elizabeth Jane Martin births to decide on. One is Elizabeth Jane Martin who was born on 10 Dec 1886 in Hd of Yarra SA to parents Vass Martin and Mary Jane Boundy (4), and the other is Elizabeth Jane Martin who was born on 27 Oct 1886 in Willunga SA to parents Thomas Martin and Ann Marshall (5). A Birth, Engagement or wedding Notice would help ascertain the correct bride by her father’s initial if not is first name. A search of “Martin Hempel” using Trove reveals: “Marriages: Hempel-Martin: On the 9th July, at Maughan Church, Franklin-street, Adelaide by the Rev WH Cann, George Theodore Oscar, fifth son of CE Hempel, Daveyston, to Elizabeth Jane, second daughter of Thomas Martin, Willunga” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Friday 8 November 1918 p6 (6). This means that the correct Elizabeth Jane Martin who married George Theodore Oscar Hempel was the latter one, born on 27 Oct 1886 in Willunga. The ‘all Hempel’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of George Theodore Oscar Hempel and Elizabeth Jane Martin shows 3 children all born (before the genealogical current 1928 cut-off for searching birth data) in the Daly District [1] Helen Elaine Hempel b1919; [2] Muriel Ann Hempel b1921; [3] Thomas Oscar Hempel 1927 (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hempel_elizabeth_jane_&_g.t._oscar.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I19106 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I147300 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I147298 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5603892?searchTerm=martin hempel&searchLimits= 478 This old-looking headstone just says Edith May Hendersen, wife of TJ Hendersen (1). There is nothing relevant at GenealogySA for Edith May or TJ Hendersen, and one wonders whether the surname should be Henderson. The Edith Henderson Death Index at GenealogySA shows several Edith Henderson deaths, but one in particular was Edith Harriett May Henderson who died in Adelaide in 1932, the wife of [the still living] James Thomas Henderson (2), although he is JT, not TJ Henderson. I have a feeling that the headstone inscription is not that accurate. According to the Town of Gawler website, Edith Harriett May Henderson aged 48 yrs who last resided in Gawler South was buried on 12 Dec 1932 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 48 G 2, with Rev Bevan officiating (3). Thomas James Henderson aged 67 yrs from Gawler was buried on 10 Oct 1946 Willaston Cemetery in the re-opened same Plot/Grave/Niche 48 G 2, with Rev McKinna officiating (4), and it is noted that their surname is spelt Henderson, not Hendersen. The ‘all Henderson’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Thomas James Henderson and Edith May __ shows the birth of only one child [1] Sydney James Henderson was born in the Barossa District in 1911 to parents Thomas James Henderson and Edith May Lawler Greenwood (2). Edith May Harriett Henderson died on 10 Dec 1932, as stated in the Bunyip: “Deaths. Henderson—On the 10th December, at the Adelaide Hospital, Edith May Harriet, the loved wife of Thomas James Henderson, aged 48 years” and also in the same Bunyip edition: “Return Thanks: The husband and family of the late Edith Henderson desire to thank all friends for expressions of sympathy in their recent sad bereavement” Bunyip, Friday 16 December 1932 p3 (5). As she died in late 1932 aged 48 yrs, her year of birth would have been c1884. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Harriet Edith May Lawler was actually born on 20 May 1883 at Keyneton SA to parents Robert Lawler and Selina Cock (6), showing she was really aged 49 yrs when she died. I’m really satisfied that the headstone contains much misinformation, most importantly spelling the surname incorrectly. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hendersen_edith_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32691 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33277 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96679950?searchTerm=Edith%20Henderson&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I100754 479 On her headstone, Cora M Henderson died aged 83 yrs on 20 Sept 1980, wife of Peter Henderson (1), meaning her year of birth was c1897. A separate plaque says that Peter W Henderson, husband of Cora, died aged 69 yrs on 26 Dec 1969 (2), and hence was born c1900. The Peter Henderson Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Peter William Henderson was married in the Port Gawler District in 1922 to Cora Montgomery MacGowan (3). The ‘all Henderson’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Peter William Henderson and Cora Montgomery MacGowan {at least up to the genealogical current cut-off of 1928} shows the birth of 3 children, all in the Flinders District: [1] Leslie William Henderson b1923; [2] Coral Jean Henderson b1924; [3] Clive Ernest Henderson b1925 (3). On his headstone, Leslie W Henderson (30 Aug 1923 – 18 Sept 1982) was the eldest son of Peter and Cora Henderson (4), which is confirmed by the above list of children. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Peter William Henderson was born on 29 Jan 1901 in Cleve SA to parents John Ernest Henderson and Mary Ricketts (5), Cora Montgomery MacGowan was born on 6 Oct 1896 in Copperhouse SA to parents James MacGowan and Emily Montgomery (6), and Leslie William Henderson is confirmed as being born on 30 Aug 1923 in Cleve SA to parents Peter William Henderson and Cora Montgomery MacGowan (7). By way of confirmation, the LDS website says that Peter William Henderson was born on 29 Jan 1901 Cleve SA to parents John Ernest Henderson (born 26 May 1870 Allens Creek SA) and Mary Ricketts (born 12 Feb 1875 Saddleworth SA), who had married on 3 Feb 1898 in Cowell SA (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/henderson_cora_m.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/henderson_peter_w.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/henderson_leslie_w.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I249576 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I144059 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I534324

Henry Michael Hennessy died 16 July 1964 (1). Are they siblings or a married couple? The Henry Hennessy Birth Index reveals that Henry Michael Hennessy was born in 1885 to parents James Hennessy and Bridget Whelan in the Gilbert District (2). Henry Michael is not on GenealogySA’s Marriage Register (3). On the LDS site, Henry Michael Hennessy was born 16 Oct 1885 Dalkey SA. His father was James Hennessy born c1833 Kik, Ireland and his mother was Bridget Whelan [or Phelan]. No marriage records for Henry though (4). James Hennessy and Bridget Whelan were married 21 May 1865 in Gawler. Their children were [1] Margaret Hennessy born 17 Feb 1866 Grace Plains SA; [2] Johanna Hennessy born 19 Aug 1868 Grace Plains; [3] James Hennessy born 11 Jan 1872 Grace Plains; [4] Catherine Hennessy born 14 Jul 1875 Grace Plains; [5] Mary Hennessy born 2 Feb 1878 Dalkey SA; [6] Alice Hennessy born 22 Jun 1879 Dalkey, married 9 Apr 1912 in Owen SA to James McBain Laing; [7] Hellen Elizabeth Hennessy born 20 Jul 1881 Barabba SA, married 6 Oct 1915 in Owen to Robert Norman Ingram; [8] Patrick John Hennessy born 13 Mar 1883 Dalkey; [9] Henry Michael Hennessy born 16 Oct 1885 Dalkey (5). With parents, sibling James and Henry Michael all buried in Willaston, I strongly suspect but cannot prove without seeing the Burial Register that it is another sibling Catherine who is Katherine Hennessy. If so, then she would have been 84 years old when she died 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hennessy_katherine_&_henry_michael.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SGVubmVzc3k=&g=SGVucnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SGVubmVzc3k=&g=SGVucnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I277437&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://histfam.familysearch.org/familygroup.php?familyID=F39473&tree=SouthAustralia 482 FJR Henwood died aged 73 years on 19 Aug 1922, the husband of Hannah Henwood (1). The “F Henwood” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows two names [1] Frederick Stanley Henwood died aged 34 years in 1917 and [2] FJR Henwood who died aged 73 years in 1922 (2). The F Henwood Death Index show it was Frederick John Rogers Henwood who died Port Gawler District in 1922 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/henwood_f.j.r..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SGVud29vZA==&g=Rg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SGVud29vZA==&g=Rg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 483 This hard-to-read headstone says Neita Heron died 20 June 1967, her husband Percival Heron ?? April 1968 (1). By searching Neita Heron at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery the Memorial Inscription Neita Heron in 1967 (2), and not in 1987 as appears in Australian Cemeteries “H” data page for Willaston Cemetery (3). There is no other information on Neita Heron at GenealogySA. The Percival Heron Death Index reveals Percival Victor Harry Heron died in 1968 (4), not in 1988 as it says onthe “H” data page (3). His late wife’s name was the nominated relative: Violet Ruby Neita Heron (4). The Percival Heron Birth Index shows he was born in 1905 to parents John Heron and Sarah Ann Saunders in the Frome District (5). Without access to Gawler Council’s Willaston Cemetery Register for Neita, or even knowing her maiden name or where they married, I cannot advance this search, as I had no success with Trove for births, engagements or weddings 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heron_neita_&_percival.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SGVyb24=&g=TmVpdGE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SGVyb24=&g=UGVyY2l2YWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SGVyb24=&g=UGVyY2l2YWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 484 VA Midge Herraman died aged 57 years on 3 April 1973, and A Hugh Herraman died aged 52 years on 29 Nov 1973 (1). A search for “V Herraman” Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser shows Venus Australia (Midge) Herraman died in 1973 (2). The search of “A Herraman” at the Advertiser Death Notices reveals that Arthur Hugh (Hughie) Herraman died in 1973 (3). The Arthur Herraman Birth Index confirms that in 1921 Arthur Hugh Herraman was born to parents George Henry Herraman and Martha Matilda Gemmell in Adelaide (4). A Barry Herraman search at Advertiser Death Notices shows 4 Death Notices in 1994 for Barry Graham Herraman (5). But as with the other Herramans, there’s no more to be gleaned at the GenealogySA site. From where did they come? What was Barry to Midge and Hughie? Were any married, or all single? Barry’s memorial is just a white pinted wooden cross with Barry Herraman roughly handwritten, with an indistinct date of birth maybe 30 Nov ???? and death on 10 Sept 1994, plus a photo of ?him attached at the top (6), so I’d want to confirm that date of birth. At least the Savill Index funeral dates for Arthur Hugh (Hughie) Herraman [1973-11-30] and Midge Herraman [1973-04-04] confirm their dates of death (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/herraman_v.a_midge_&_a._hugh.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=SGVycmFtYW4=&g=Vg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=SGVycmFtYW4=&g=QQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SGVycmFtYW4=&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=SGVycmFtYW4=&g=QmFycnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/herraman_barry.jpg 7 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html 485 Arthur T Hewett died aged 73 years on 30 Aug 1968. His wife Dora Jeanne Hewett died aged 81 years on 25 ?Aug 1973 (1). The Savill Index has Dora Jeanne Hewett’s Funeral Notice 1973-04-26, so she would have died 1973-04-25 (2). The Arthur Hewett Death Index shows that when Arthur Tupper Hewett died in 1968, his nominated relative was his wife Dora Jeanne Hewett (3). William Arthur Hewett was born 19 Aug 1867 Normanville SA, lived in Port Wakefield, and died 1963-08-22 Felixstowe SA. His father was Elijah Medad Hewett b1834 Kingsbridge, Devon, England, and died 9 Dec 1916 Port Wakefield. Elijah was married on 13 Nov 1862 North Adelaide to William’s mother Jane Lillywhite b 1831. William Arthur Hewett was married 13 Aug 1890 in Balaklava to Amelia Jane Tupper, who was born 28 Jan 1865 Burton nr Salisbury SA and died 9 Feb 1944 Gawler SA. Amelia Jane’s parents were William Tupper and Ann Millard. William Arthur and Amelia Jane’s children were [1] Laura Doris Hewett born 3 Sep 1891 Balaklava; [2] Vera Millie Norman nee Hewett born 12 Jul 1893 Port Wakefield and died in 1961 SA; [3] Arthur Tupper Hewett born 1 May 1895 Port Wakefield; [4] Cecil Murray Hewett born 8 Jun 1897 Port Wakefield; [5] Agnes Jean Hewett born 20 Aug 1906 Port Wakefield and died 6 Nov 1908 Port Wakefield (4). The Arthur Hewett Marriage Index shows that Arthur Tupper Hewett was married in Adelaide in 1923 to Dora Jeanne Bishop (5). The Dora Bishop Birth Index tells us that Dora Jeanne Bishop was born 1891 Port Adelaide to parents Herbert Venning Bishop and Alice Jane Haddy (6). Herbert Venning Bishop was born 1852 to parents Jonathan Corbyn Bishop [b1816 England, died 14 Jul 1906 Goodwood SA] and Frances Lincolne
[born 19 Sep 1819 Halesworth, Suffolk, England and died 7 Jun 1903 Goodwood]. Herbert Venning Bishop was married 24 May 1877 in North Adelaide to Alice Jane Leach Haddy who was born 6 Oct 1852 SA and died 22 Dec 1910 Exeter SA. Their children were [1] Edith Alice Bishop born 11 Mar 1878 Bayswater SA, died 4 Jul 1878 Rosewater SA; [2] Harriet Corbyn Bishop born 28 May 1879 Bayswater, died 13 Jun 1880 Port Adelaide; [3] Du Port Venning Bishop born 28 Mar 1881 Bath SA; [4] Harold Herbert Bishop born 31 Mar 1883 Semaphore SA, died 12 Apr 1883 Exeter SA; [5] Francis Bishop born 6 Jan 1885 Semaphore, died 10 Feb 1885 Semaphore; [6] Cecil Lincolne Bishop born 23 Oct 1886 Sandwell SA; [7] Dora Jeanne Bishop born 4 Jun 1891 Exeter. Following Alice’s death in 1910, Herbert V was married 15 Feb 1913 Exeter to Mary Maria Caroline Ianson born 10 Sep 1866 nr Waterloo SA (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hewett_arthur_t_&_dora_jeanne.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SGV3ZXR0&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I32489&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SGV3ZXR0&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmlzaG9w&g=RG9yYQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I196756&tree=SouthAustralia 486 Clarence, Hilda and Colin Hewish were the children of Perc and Edith Hewish. No dates nor ages are given (1). An “All Hewish” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows the existence of Colin Joseph Hewish, Hilda May Hewish, Clarence Hewish, and Percival CC Hewish, but no dates nor ages (2). The “All Hewish” Birth Index shows that Percy Walter Hewish and Edith Dinah Anderson had at least the following children [1] Percy Clarence Carmeletto Hewish b1912 Port Adelaide; [2] Hilda May Hewish b1914 Port Gawler; [3] Jean Rose Hewish b1917 Port Gawler; [4] Clarice Edith Hewish b1919 Port Gawler; [5] Harold Walter Hewish b1921 Port Gawler; [6] Kathleen Lorna Hewish b1923 Frome; [7] Ronald Andrew Hewish b1924 Barossa; [8] Reginald Henry Hewish b1927 Frome (3). No mention of a Clarence Hewish, but could be Percy Clarence Carmeletto Hewish. Also no Colin appears, although Colin Hewish Death Index says Colin Joseph Hewish died in the Hindmarsh District 1932, with his nominated relative his father Percy Walter Hewish (4). Percival (Percy) Walter Hewish was born 15 Jul 1886 Barunga SA to parents Walter Hewish [born 11 Jul 1861 Coxs Creek SA, died 12 Jun 1906 Rosewater SA] and Catherine Priscilla Garvey [born c1863]. Parents married 3 Oct 1883 Snowtown SA. Percival Walter Hewish was married 2 Apr 1912 Gawler to Edith Dinah Anderson born 23 Dec 1891 Templers SA, and their children include [1] Percival Clarence Carmelleto Hewish born 30 Jun 1912 Rosewater, and died 28 Jan 1916 Gawler South. The Hilda Hewish Death Index shows she died 1927 in the Frome District, with her father Percy Walter Hewish nominated (6). “Hewish. On the 7th October, Colin Joseph, beloved youngest son of Percy and Edith Hewish, of 56 Victoria terrace, Malvern, aged 5 months. Requiescat in pace”. The Advertiser, Saturday 8 October 1932 p14 (7). Percy Clarence (Clarrie) Hewish and Hilda are both remembered in the Chronicle, Thursday 17 April 1930 p37 “Hewish.

Their children who died were [1] Edmund Culling Heywood, died aged 5 years on 26 Sept 1859.[2] Louisa Eardley Heywood died aged 3 years on 20 Sept ???? [3] Florence Isabella Heywood aged 1 year died on 15 Sept ???? (1). Eardley TL Heywood has his own headstone: he was born in Hampshire, England 4 Sepe 1821 and died in North Adelaide 16 Dec 1877 (2). The Florence Heywood search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription Florence Isabella Heywood aged 1 year old when she died in 1859 (3). The Louisa Heywood search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription for Louisa Eardley Heywood who was 3 years old when she died in 1859 (4). The Louisa Heywood Birth Index shows that Louisa Eardley Heywood was born in 1856 to parents Eardley Heywood and Margaret Flemming in Adelaide (5). The Eardley Heywood Marriage Index shows Eardley Thomas Louis Heywood married Jane Louisa Hill 1868 in the Barossa District (6). This was a second marriage after his first wife Margaret had died in 1867. Here is Mr Heywood’s obituary. “The Late Mr Eardley Heywood. On Sunday December 16, Mr Eardley Heywood, an old and respected colonist, died at his residence, Barton-terrace, North Adelaide. He was seized with a fit on the previous Tuesday, and never afterwards recovered consciousness. The deceased gentleman arrived in the colony in the year 1842, and three years afterwards, in 1845, he selected land on the Murray and settled there as a squatter, which pursuit he followed up to the time of his death. Mr Heywood was a gentleman of retiring habits, but of a most generous and charitable disposition, and will be missed by many who have experienced his benevolence. He was married twice and leaves four children — two by his first, and two by his second wife, the youngest child being only three weeks old. The funeral took place on Tuesday at the Gawler Town Cemetery, the coffin and the principal body of the mourners, including many old colonists, leaving town by the 11 o'clock train. Amongst those who followed were Messrs J Williams MP, HP Denton, C Denton, EB Scott JP, WE Mortlock, Barker, Douglas, WH Charnock, from town; the Rev Canon Coombs, J Pile JP, Gordon, Warren, J Mitchell, J Rudall, T Fotheringham, and J Dawson, of Gawler; the Rev JM Donaldson and W Goodchild, from Kapunda, and several of the employees from Portee Station. The Rev James Gordon officiated at the grave. Out of respect to the deceased gentleman the places of business in Gawler, where the deceased was so well known and esteemed, were closed”. South Australian Register. Saturday 29 December 1877 p6Supplement (7). Unfortunately the LDS site has no records of this family

She died at St Ives in Cornwall (1). Gloucester R Heywood born 7 Dec 1874 North Adelaide and died 8 March 1882 (2). Presumably Jeannie Heywood was Jane Louisa Hill, Eardley’s second wife, whom he married in 1868 (3). She appears on the South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery as Jeannie Heywood, died 1928, which is the only mention of Jeannie at GenealogySA, as she likely was born before migrating to Australia. Jane Louisa Heywood did marry again after Eardley died, in 1886 to Thomas Rowe Harry in the Port Adelaide District (4). “Harry— Heywood. On the 12th February, at the Semaphore, by the Rev James Gordon, Captain Thomas Rowe Harry RNR, of the ship Hesperus, to Jane Louisa Heywood”. South Australian Register, Tuesday 16 February 1886 p4 (5). Capt Harry died in 1918 in Cornwall: “Personal: The death is announced of Captain TR Harry RNR, who many years ago was a regular trader to Australia in well known passenger ships, his last vessel being the Hesperus. Afterwards he was the superintendent of the Orient Company's passenger excursions in the North Sea, the Mediterranean, and the West Indies. After he settled down to shore life, he was Mayor of St Ives in Cornwall. During the whole of his long career on the sea, Captain Harry never had an accident of any kind. He married the widow of Mr Eardley Heywood, of Portee Station, on the River Murray”. The Advertiser, Tuesday 19 November 1918 p4 (6) Jeannie or Jane Louisa died 10 years later in Cornwall as noted on her Willaston Memorial (1) which she shares as Jeannie Heywood with her deceased son Gloucester, whis buried there. The Gloucester Heywood Birth Index confirms Gloucester Rivett Heywood was born in 1874 to parents Eardley Thomas Louis Heywood and Jane Louisa Hill in Adelaide (6). I’m struggling to find Jane’s age at death or birthdate. We have her marriage notice: “Married: Heywood — Hill. On 16th December, by the Rev James Gordon, at the Presbyterian Church, Gawler, Eardley Heywood Esq JP, Portee, to Jane Louise, daughter of the late Hugo Russell Hill, Roseworthy”. The South Australian Advertiser, Saturday 19 December 1868 p2 (8). We even have her son Gordon’s obituary: “Obituary: Mr G Heywood. Mr Gordon Heywood, who died suddenly at Zeehan on May 27 at the age of 73, was born al Adelaide. His father, the late Edmund Eardley Heywood, was one of the pioneers of South Australia and liver[sic] at Portee, on the Murray. He was six years old when his father died, and three years later was taken to England by his mother and stepfather, Captain RL Harry, master of the sailing ship Hesperus. They travelled on the vessel, and later made their home at "Morwenstowe," St Ives, Cornwall. He was educated at the Hale University, England. He took a course in metallurgy at the Adelaide School of Mines, and later was engaged in practical mining at Tullah and other parts of the West Coast of Tasmania. He also worked for several years on his own account at the Argent Flat, Zeehan. During his lifetime, he made several trips to England to visit his mother, and recently accompanied his step-sister (now in England) on tours of mainland and Tasmanian districts. He had planned to spend this winter on the North Coast. A staunch supporter of the Methodist Church, Zeehan, he was one of the few who saw the opening and attended its 50th anniversary celebrations. He was buried In the quaint cemetery at Stanley (as was his wish) on May 31 after services conducted in the Methodist Church, Smithton, and at the graveside by Rev J Brehant. Mrs M Edwards sang his favorite hymn, "Take Thee My Hands" during the service. Mr E Murfet was organist. Carriers were the Murfet brothers and Mr C Reid. Wreaths came from relatives and friends in England, Melbourne, Launceston, Burnie and Smithton”. Advocate (Burnie, Tas), Friday 9 June 1950 p4 (9). But I cannot complete her details 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heywood_jeannie.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heywood_gloucester_r..jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SGV5d29vZA==&g=RWFyZGxleQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SGV5d29vZA==&g=SmVhbm5pZQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/50188813?searchTerm=Thomas%20Rowe%20Harry&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5606702?searchTerm=death%20Captain%20Harry&searchLimits=l-title=34 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SGV5d29vZA==&g=R2xvdWNlc3Rlcg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/31984985?searchTerm=Jane%20Heywood%20Portee&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/69223785?searchTerm=Obituary%20Eardley%20Heywood&searchLimits= 489 Bertha Hicks died aged ?? 3rd Feb ????, wife of Dorrien Hicks who died aged 85 on 8th June 1981 (1). It seems Australian Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery page “H” has reversed their details, I’m sure it is Dorrien who died aged 85 (2). A search for Dorrien Hicks at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery reveals a Memorial Inscription that says Dorrien Hicks was 85 years old when he died in 1981, which confirms my reading of the headstone (3). The Dorrien Hicks Marriage Index shows that in 1927 Dorrien Hicks married Bertha Priscilla Pratt in Adelaide (4). The Bertha Pratt Birth Index shows that Bertha Priscilla Pratt was born in 1884 to parents Arthur Pratt and Mary Ann Baker in the Port Gawler District (5). For an independent confirmation, Gawler Council’s Willaston Cemetery Burial Register shows that Bertha Priscilla Hicks aged 79 years of Gawler was buried 4/02/1964 Plot/Grave/Niche 30 LL 2, with Rev J Phillips officiating (7). Dorrian Hicks was also called Jack Hicks as evidenced by the Bunyip, Friday 29 November 1946 p5: “Public Notice: I, Dorrien (Jack) Hicks, of Dundas Street, Gawler, wish to notify the public that I am in no way connected with John Albert Hicks, boot repairer” (8), and the Chronicle, Thursday 27 November 1952 p34: Hicks: “On Nov 21 (result of accident), William Hugh, loved brother of Dorrien (Jack), Gawler, also dear uncle of Ray and Dorothy.” Hicks: “On November 21 (result of accident), William Hugh, dearly beloved husband of Lavina Hicks, of 73 Partridge St, Glenelg, and loving father Marjorie and Ken, loving brother Fred and Obadiah (England), Sarah Lovday and Augusta. Sadly missed” (9). Marriage confirmation can be found in The Advertiser, Saturday 30 April 1927 p12: Marriage: Hicks—Pratt. “On the 6th April at Maughan Church, Adelaide, by the Rev JPH Tilbrook MA, Dorrien, third son of Mrs Hicks and the late William Hicks, to Bertha, second daughter of Mr and Mrs A Pratt, Two Wells. Present address: Lower Light” (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hicks_bertha_&_dorrien.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SGlja3M=&g=RG9ycmllbg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SGlja3M=&g=RG9ycmllbg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=UHJhdHQ=&g=QmVydGhh&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SGlja3M=&g=QmVydGhh&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34444

The “J Hicks” Death Index reveals only one J Hicks with a relative nominated called Daphne: John Albert Hicks of Gawler who died in 1972, with nominated relative, his wife Daphne Pearl Hicks (2). The Savill Index shows that John Albert (Jack) Hicks had an Advertiser Funeral Notice for 1972-12-27 (3). John Albert Hicks appears to have been a naughty lad, who seems to have originated in Victoria: “Bicycles Stolen: Bendigo. Friday. Sentences, aggregating nine months' imprisonment, were imposed upon John Albert Hicks, aged 28 years, boot repairer, in the Bendigo City Court to-day, when he pleaded guilty to 15 charges of bicycle stealing. The thefts covered a period of nine months. Hicks was arrested by Detective AW Boater at Kerang. In a statement to the Court Hicks said that he had taken the bicycles rather than see his wife and children starve”. The Argus (Melbourne), Saturday 17 December 1938 p4 (4). “Legally not in AIF is claim. A charge of desertion against a Victorian man before a district court-martial here today has been adjourned to give him a chance to prove he is not legally in the Army. John Albert Hicks denied a charge of having gone absent without leave with the intention of deserting, from August 18 last year until he was arrested on February 1 at Gawler in civilian clothes. When asked as a matter of court routine whether he wished for an adjournment on any grounds, Hicks, who wore AIF uniform and overseas stripes denoting two years' overseas service, said, "Yes." His defending officer then explained that Hicks' defence would be that he had been discharged from the Army in Victoria last year. Hicks, he said, had told him that he already had been court martialled once in Victoria on a charge of illegal absence, but had been acquitted when his defending officer there had produced his discharge. The case was adjourned to a date to be fixed to enable Hicks to procure evidence from Victoria”. News (Adelaide), Thursday 10 February 1944 p3 (5). “Passed Valueless Cheque: In the Gawler Police Court on Monday, before Messrs W Antwis and AR Belton, John Albert Hicks was sentenced to three months imprisonment for passing a valueless cheque. The cheque for £ ?42? 10/- was handed to SN Buchan in payment of an account for milk to the value of £1 4/- and change was given as balance. The cheque was returned twice”. Bunyip, Friday 22 November 1946 p2 (6). These are just a few cases to paint the picture. Coming fromVictoria, his birth date is not on Genealogy SA, but from the above confirms it to be c1910 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hicks_jack.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SGlja3M=&g=Sg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/12077069?searchTerm=John%20Albert%20Hicks&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/128393092?searchTerm=John%20Albert%20Hicks&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96849299?searchTerm=John%20Albert%20Hicks&searchLimits= FW (Fred) Higgins died aged 57 years on 27 April 1936. His wife Ellen Jane Higgins died aged 71 years on 13 November 1959. They were the parents of Elliot, Mervyn and Bill (1). A search for “F Higgins” at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Frederick Walter Higgins on the Burial Register but on a Memorial Inscription is FW (Fred) Higgens[sic] aged 57 years died in 1936 (2). The surname is clearly incorrect, as the headstone plainly says “Higgins”. On the LDS site, Frederick Walter Higgins was born 3 Mar 1879 Gawler River. His father was Thomas Higgins [b1840, died 9 Aug 1915 Currency Creek SA] who was married on 29 Mar 1861 in Gawler to FW’s mother Fanny Wingate [b1841, died 6 Sep 1913 Gawler South]. See the family of Thomas Higgins in Note 492 (3). An “all Higgins” Birth Index, looking for parents Fred and Ellen show at least 10 children born to Frederick Walter Higgins and Ellen Jane O’Toole between 1909 and 1927, including Elliot James b1915, Michael Mervyn b1916 and Bill [William Joseph] b1923 (4). Why just mention those 3 sons and not the other 3 sons or 4 daughters is beyond the needs of this project. The Fred Higgins Marriage Index confirms that in 1909, Frederick Walter Higgins married Ellen Jane O’Toole in the Port Gawler District (5). On the Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices, the one for Elliot James Higgins appeared 1977-06-27 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/higgins_f.w._%28fred%29_&_ellen_jane.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SGlnZ2lucw==&g=Rg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I278853&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SGlnZ2lucw==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SGlnZ2lucw==&g=RnJlZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html George HJ Higgins died aged 72 years, on 29th May, 1??8 (1). The George Higgins Death Index reveals that George Herbert James Higgins died in 1948 in Gawler (2). On the LDS site, George Herbert James Higgins was born 11 May 1876 Gawler River. His father was Thomas Higgins [b1840, died 9 Aug 1915 Currency Creek SA] who was married on 29 Mar 1861 in Gawler to JGH’s mother Fanny Wingate [b1841, died 6 Sep 1913 Gawler South] (3). So George HJ was one of Frederick W’s older brothers – see Note 491. In fact, here’s the whole family, as summarised fro the LDS site: Thomas Higgins was born on 1840-04-23 in Adelaide, and died 9 Aug 1915 at Currency Creek SA. He was the son of Thomas Higgins [born c1794, died 20 Jun 1866, Gawler River] and Mary Higgins nee Shell [born c1798, died 7 Nov 1873 Gawler River]. Thomas was a farmer, residing in Smithfield, then Gawler. On 29 Mar 1861 in Gawler, he married Fanny Wingate [born 14.3.1841 SA, died 6 Sep 1913 Gawler South], whose parents were William Wingate and Frances Pincher. Their children were: [1] Thomas Henry Higgins born 4 Jan 1862 Gawler River; [2] Robert Oliver Higgins born 4 May 1863 Gawler River; [3] Eli Elisha Higgins born 3 Mar 1865 Gawler River, and died 18 Jul 1874 Gawler River; [4] Florence Rosina Higgins born 13 Mar 1867 Gawler River; [5] Thomas William Higgins born 31 Mar 1870 Gawler River; [6] Edgar Ray Higgins born 6 Jan 1873 Gawler River; [7] George Herbert James Higgins born 11 May 1876 Gawler River, died in 1948; [8] Frederick Walter Higgins born 3 Mar 1879 Gawler River [see Note 491]; [9] Frank Archibald Higgins born 20 Apr 1882 Gawler River (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/higgins_george_h.j._&_anne_jane.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SGlnZ2lucw==&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I278852&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I278722&tree=SouthAustralia LJ Higgins has a military headstone that says he died aged 74 years on 18th June 1966. He had been a sapper in the Royal Australian Engineers. No family is mentioned (1). Searching L Higgins at South Australia Cemeteriesfor Willaston Cemetery, there is a Burial Register entry for Leslie John Higgins, and the Memorial Inscription reads LJ Higgins aged 74y died in 1966 (2). The Leslie Higgins Birth Index tells us that Leslie John Higgins was born in 1891 to Albert Oliver Higgins and Mary Rein in the Frome District (3). The LDS site tells us that Leslie John Higgins was born 19 Jul 1891 in Quorn SA,to parents Albert Oliver Higgins born 2 Jan 1861 Gawler River, and Mary Rein born 24 Aug 1868 Western Plains nr Port Augusta (4). On the 2 Jun 1914 at Port Wakefield, Leslie J married Iva Lucy Andrews born 2 Jun 1894 Carrieton SA. The Iva Higgins Death Index shows that Iva Lucy Higgins died in 1972, with the nominated relative her late husband Leslie

John Higgins (5). Iva Lucy is also buried at Willaston Cemetery, her Memorial Inscription stating that she was 78 years old when she died in 1972 (6). So why is she not mentioned on Australian Cemeteries “H” page?

The Charles Higgins Death Index shows only one 1953 death, which was Charles Ellis Higgins, who had his wife AV Higgins as his nominated relative [which would be the Annie Veronica Higgins also buried in Willaston] (2). On the Gawler Council’s Burial Register for Willaston Cemetery, Charles Ellis Higgins aged 70 years from Gawler was buried 20/11/1953 Plot/Grave/Niche 35 E 3, with Father Sparkes officiating (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/higgins_charles.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SGlnZ2lucw==&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33690 Arthur Higgs died on 16 Nov 1958, his wife Olive Nellie Higgs died on 3 July 1965 (1). An Arthur Higgs search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has the Memorial Inscription Arthur Higgs death in 1958, but the Burial Register names him Arthur James Higgs (2). The Arthur Higgs Birth Index shows 3 Arthur Higgs possibilities, but only one Arthur James Higgs, who was born in 1890 to parents George Higgs and Agnes McDonald in the Gilbert District (3). The Arthur James Higgs Marriage Index is unhelpful, there being no Arthur James Higgs marriages on Genealogy SA (4). So I don’t knbow Olive Nellie’s maiden name. The Register (Adelaide), Tuesday 12 December 1916 p4: “Higgs (nee Tidd). On the 8th December, at Nurse O'Brien's Private Hospital, Balaklava, to Mr and Mrs Arthur Higgs – a son. Both well” (5). But there’s no reference to an Olive Tidd on GenealogySA either. An “all Tidd” Birth Index has no one by the name Tidd at all, although there are some “Tiddy” births, but none has the first name Olive, Nellie or Ellen (6). There’s the same story on the Tidd/Tiddy Marriaege Index (7). Arthur James Higgs was born 31 Oct 1890 at Whitwarta SA. His father George Higgs was born 22 Apr 1852 Kilkenny SA, married 1 Mar 1881 at Whitwarta and died 26 Jan 1925 Balaklava SA (8). Coincidentally, there is an obituary for Mrs Olive Nellie Higgs in the Raymond Terrace Examiner and Lower Hunter and Port Stephens Advertiser, Thursday 22 July 1943 p2: “Mrs ON Higgs: Death occurred suddenly on Sunday of Mrs Olive Nellie Higgs, wife of Mr Chas Higgs, of Chapman Street, Dungog. Deceased had been in ill health for very many years. She was bom in Maitland 53 years ago, and had lived in Dungog for 24 years. The late Mrs Higgs is survived by her husband and two stepchildren. Mr Chas Higgs is a brother of Mr Dan Higgs, of the Clare Castle Hotel, Raymond Terrace” (9). Unfortunately for our search, the Trove records stop in the mid1950s. So Ireally cannot find out how old Olive Nellie Higgs was when she died or when she was born. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/higgs_arthur_&_olive_nellie.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SGlnZ3M=&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SGlnZ3M=&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SGlnZ3M=&g=QXJ0aHVyIEphbWVz&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/59913462?searchTerm=Arthur%20James%20Higgs%20Olive&searchLimits=lcategory=Family+Notices 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=VGlkZA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=VGlkZA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I132870&tree=SouthAustralia 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/133097043?searchTerm=%20Olive%20Nellie%20Higgs&searchLimits= Denzil O Hill died aged 62 years on 16 Sept 1985, father of Lorraine, Graham and Rodney (1).

Douglas Hugh Hill aged 21 died ?? Nov 1941, killed in action on HMAS Sydney (1). The date Douglas Hugh Hill died is visible on the photo of the memorial [partly obscured by some foliage] but the details are not entered in the Australian Cemeteries for Willaston Cemeterey page “H” (2). A search of Douglas Hill at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription stating that Douglas Hugh Hill was aged 21 years old when he died but the year is not given (3). The Douglas Hill Birth Index shows that Douglas Hugh Hill was born in 1920 to parents Edward Elisha Hill and Maud Elizabeth Halliday in the Gilbert District (4). “On 19 November 1941, HMAS Sydney, a light cruiser of the Royal Australian Navy with an impressive record of war service, was lost following a battle with the German raider HSK Kormoran in the Indian Ocean off the Western Australian coast. The loss of the Sydney with its full war complement of 645 remains Australia’s worst naval disaster. The Kormoran was also sunk, but 317 of its crew of 397 were rescued. The fate of the Sydney remains one of Australia’s greatest wartime mysteries with not even the location of the wrecks established until 2008”. National Archives of Australia: The sinking of HMAS Sydney, November 1941 – Fact sheet 111 (5). “Social and Personal. Concerning Australia's great national disaster, the disappearance of HMAS Sydney, and full complement of men and officers, the Mayor (Mr W Antwis) reported to Council that officially the authorities had no news of disaster and search was being carried out as to the ship's whereabouts.

Peter Sutherland Rudall, son of Mr and Mrs RJ Rudall, and Douglas Hugh Hill, son of Mr and Mrs EE Hill. One of his own nephews was also in the complement. ...” Bunyip, Friday 5 December 1941 p4 (6). “Stoker Douglas Hugh Hill, second son of Mr and Mrs EE Hill of Blanche Street, Gawler, joined the Navy in 1938 and was aboard the Sydney when the memorable action which resulted in the sinking of the 'Bartolomco Colleoni' took place. Doug, was born at Hamley Bridge and after being educated at the Gawler Public and Gawler High Schools was employed as a mechanic at Quarton Wehr and Starling's. His engagement was announced in May to Miss Helen Colton, of Willaston. When on leave in February last, Doug had as souvenir the plaque which was presented to each member of the Sydney's crew to commemorate the action against the 'Bartolomeo Colleoni.' He had long association with the Boy Scout movement, having been a Cub, Scout and Rover Scout. He was 21 years of age”.

The William Hill Death Index shows that in 1960, there were 4 William Hill deaths. The two William H Hill deaths were both for a William Henry Hill, and for our purposes it doesn’t matter which of the two William Henry Hills it was. As well as those 2 William Henry Hill deaths, there was a William John Hill and a William Beauchamp Hill death in 1960 in SA (2). 1 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SGlsbA==&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SGlsbA==&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== Anna AC Hillier died aged 71 years on 7 Aug 1930, her husband Samuel Hillier died aged 88 years on 30 March 1949 (1). The Anna Hillier search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Anna Augusta Caroline Hillier, in her 71st year, dying in 1930, ie she was 70 years old (2). The Samuel Hillier Marriage Index shows he was married in 1883 to Annie Augusta Caroline Reinke in the Port Gawler District (3). The Samuel Hillier Birth Index has him born in 1860 to parents George Hillier and Elenora Hooper in the Port Gawler District (4). The Samuel Hillier Death Index confirms he died in 1949 in the Norwood District, his nominated relative his son or sister, GA Hillier (5). The Ann Reinke Birth Index (6) is not helpful, so was she born elsewhere, or is the list at GenealogySA just not comprehensive enough? The LDS site is helpful: Samuel Hillier was born 18 Sep 1860 at Gawler River. His father George Hillier was born 1826 Horsley, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England and died 2 Apr 1902 Gawler Plains. His mother Leonora Hooper was born 1829 Cornwall, England and died 15 Oct 1905 Gawler South. His parents married 24 Jan 1850 in Adelaide. Samuel Hillier was married 3 May 1883 at Gawler River to Hannah Augusta Carolina Reinke born 15 Sep 1859 Buchsfelde SA.

A search of Beeton Hillier at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows his Burial Register entry to be Beeton Frank Fletcher Hillier and their reading of the Memorial Inscription confirms Beeton FF Hillier was 51 years old when he died in 1932 (2), which makes his year of birth c1881. There is no record at GenealogySA on his birth, but a search of the Beeton Hillier Marriage Index shows Beeton Frank Fletcher Hillier was married twice [1] Ada Jeanette Beckwith 1907 in the Barossa District, and [2] Edith May Andrews in the Port Gawler District in 1927 (3). His first wife Ada died in 1926 “Hillier.

His wife Elizabeth Margaret Hillier on 25 June 1954 aged ?? (1). By searching Elizabeth Hillier at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, we can see a Memorial Inscription for Elizabeth Margaret Hillier who was 88 years old when she died in 1954 (2). On the LDS site, we learn that Jabez Hillier was born 20 Nov 1862 Gawler River. He was a younger brother of Samuel Hillier, and his parents George and Leonora are discussed in Note 503. George was married, on 23 Oct 1891 in Gawler, to Elizabeth Margaret Tregear [b1866]. Their children were [1] Harry Morton Hillier born 29 Aug 1892 Gawler Plains; [2] Horace Frank Hillier born 2 Apr 1894 Gawler Plains; [3] Percy Edgar Hillier born 13 Apr 1897 Gawler Plains; [4] Ralph Harrold Hillier born 22 Mar 1899 Gawler Plains; [5] Albert Roy Hillier born 1 Jul 1903 Gawler Plains (3). Perc Hillier or really Percy Edgar Hillier was actually 69 years old when he died, or in his 70th year, not aged 71 as the headstone says (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hillier_jabez_&_elizabeth_margaret.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SGlsbGllcg==&g=RWxpemFiZXRo&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I38592&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hillier_perc.jpg Reg Hillier died aged 62 years on 30 June 1955. His wife Ida Daisy Hillier died aged 77 years on 14 July 1968. They were parents of Doug, Reg, Valma and Muriel [I think it says that, it is hard to read] (1). Looking at Reg Hillier at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, the Memorial Inscription says Reg Hillier aged 62y died in 1955, but the Burial Register names him Reginald Hillier (2). The Ida Hillier search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms Ida Daisy Hillier aged 77y died in 1968 (3). LDS has some early (pre-marriage) records for Reginald Hillier who was born 10 Jun 1893 at Kapunda. His father was John James Hillier born 14 Aug 1867 in Kapunda, who was married in Kapunda 25 Nov 1891 to Elizabeth Brown, and he died 20 Sep 1921 Gawler. Reg’s mother Elizabeth Ann Mitchell Brown was born 31 May 1871 Moonta (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hillier_reg_&_ida_daisy.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SGlsbGllcg==&g=UmVn&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SGlsbGllcg==&g=SWRh&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I13261&tree=SouthAustralia Frederick WG Hillman died aged 75 years 20 Mar 1961. His wife Margaret Hillman died aged ??4 on the 23 Dec 1967 (2). Searching Frederick Hillman at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery reveals the Burial Register Frederick Walter George Hillman although the Memorial Inscription actually says Frederick WC Hillman, aged 75y, died in 1961; clearly his initials should have been WG (2). The Margaret Hillman search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Margaret Hillman’s 1967 death at the age of 74y (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hillman_frederick_w.g._&_margaret.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SGlsbG1hbg==&g=RnJlZGVyaWNr&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SGlsbG1hbg==&g=TWFyZ2FyZXQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== Sgt MJ Hind of the Army Medical Corps, died aged 37 on 25 Jun 1950, wife Jennie (1). A search of “M Hind” at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription for MJ Hind who died aged 37 years in 1950, and the Burial Register is for Mervyn James Hind (2). Jennie and Mervyn marry: 'The Armidale Express' NSW contains the following information: The marriage was celebrated on December 23 at St Mary's cathedral of Elizabeth (Jennie) daughter of the late Mr and Mrs C Quinn 'Willoughby,' Uraila, to Cpl Mervyn James, eldest son of Mr and Mrs Sid Hind, Gawler SA. The Rev Father Tully officiated. The bride was attired in all grey with blue accessories. She was attended by her sister, Miss Kathleen Quinn, who chose a coral pink suit. Sgt PC Killough attended as best man. The reception was held at the Oddfellows hall where Mrs Gwynne, sister of the bride, received the guests, frocked in rose pink. Fay Gwynne, niece of the bride, sang 'Because’. Cpl F Hallgren, chairman, read many congratulatory telegrams. Three other Hind boys are serving their country, Ron in the navy, and Arthur and Leslie in the AIF. Bunyip, Friday 15 January 1943 p2 (3). Obituary: Mr J Hind. “Mr Mervyn James Hind, eldest son of Mr and Mrs S Hind, of Gawler, who died on 25th June at the Repatriation Hospital, Springbank, had been in ill-health for more than 6 months, and had entered hospital in January this year.

Thomas Delamain Hine died aged 82 years on 8 July 1905. His wife Caroline Hine was 67 when she died 8 Aug 1893 [see also note 233]. Their son George Sydney Hine died at the age of 21 years on 3 July 1889. The fourth line on the headstone {as well as Emily Mary Collins and Annie Laura Finch who I’m guessing may be Hine daughters, sisters to George} is Henry Montague Hine who died 3 Aug 1934, but I’m not sure of his relation to the other Hines (2). According to the LDS site, Thomas Delamain Hine was born 27 Mar 1823 in Wirksworth, Derbyshire, England, died 8 Jul 1905 Gawler and is buried in Willaston SA. His parents were James Samuel Hine and Sarah Hornbuckle. TD Hine arrived in SA in 1850 on the Julia. He went to the Congregational Church, was a farmer and resided in Allens Ck, Marrabel, Unley, Gawler. He married Caroline Rivers who was b1826 and died on the 8 Aug 1893 Willaston SA. Their children were [1] Sarah Caroline Hine born 12 Mar 1853 Adelaide, died 27 Jan 1854 SA; [2] Sarah Elizabeth Hine born 28 May 1854 Adelaide; [3] Samuel Henry Hine born 4 Jun 1855 Adelaide, died 23 Feb 1856 SA; [4] Emily Mary Hine born 5 Sep 1857 Allens Creek SA, died 1922; [5] Millicent Hornbuckle Hine born 4 Jun 1859 Allens Creek, died 1933; [6] Walter James Hine born 22 Dec 1860 Allens Creek, died 1934; [7] Sarah Ada Hine born 1 Nov 1862 Marrabel SA, died 1935; [8] Annie Laura Hine born 20 Jul 1864 Allens Creek SA, died 1925 [Note 233]; [9] Henry Montague Hine born 30 Jan 1866 Allens Creek, died 1934; [10] George Sydney Hine born 1 Oct 1867 Allens Creek, died 1889; [11] Caroline Adelle Hine born 3 Apr 1872 Uley SA, died 1947 (3).

510 Herman Hissey died aged 88 years on the 26 Oct 1966, his wife Jessie A Hissey died aged 93 years on 29 Jan 1977. Parents of Max, Sylvia, Gordon, Geoff, May, Laurie and John (1). Lawrie Hissey born 8 March 1919, died 10 Oct 1998 has a military AIF plaque (2). On the LDS site, Hermann[sic] Hissey was born 14 Oct 1878 Barossa Diggings SA. His father was Thomas Hissey b1845, died 12 Mar 1911 Barossa Goldfields, and his mother was Charlotte Caroline Wilkin b1849, died 26 Jul 1889 Hay Valley SA; his parents were married 16 Jan 1873 in the Barossa. Hermann Hissey was married on 7 Apr 1909 at Humbug Scrub SA to Amelia McKenzie born 29 Jan 1884 One Tree Hill SA (3). So the question is, is Jessie A Hissey the same person as Amelia McKenzie? The Herman Hissey Marriage Index shows that Herman Hissey was married in the Barossa District to Jessie Amelia McKenzie (4). So the answer is yes. The next question is, is the Lawrie Hissey with the military plaque the son of Herman and Jessie Amelia named Laurie Hissey? The “all Hissey” Birth Index shows the seven children of Herman Hissey and Jessie Amelia McKenzie [1] Malcolm Howard Hissey born 1909; [2] Sylvia Madge Hissey born 1911; [3] Gordon Walter Hissey born 1913; [4] Duncan Geoffry Hissey born 1915; [5] Grace May Hissey born 1917; [6] Lawrence Archinal Herman Hissey b1919; [7] Hugh John Hissey born 1923 (5). So Laurie is really Lawrence, so it is possible and likely that he could be called Lawrie as well as Laurie 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hissey_herman_&_jessie_a..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hissey_lawrie.jpg 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I279988&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SGlzc2V5&g=SGVybWFu&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SGlzc2V5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 511 This military headstone commemorates GE Hobart, but it is very hard to read (1). A search of “G Hobart” at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery on the Memorial Inscription reads GE Hobart died aged 35 years in 1929, and the Burial Register George Edmund Hobart (2). Death: “Hobart. On the 5th December, at Keswick Hospital, George Edmund, the beloved husband of Amy Florence Hobart, aged 35 years”. The Advertiser, Friday 6 December 1929 p24 (3). George Edmund Hobart married Amy Florence Atyeo 1913 in the Barossa (4). The LDS site tells us that George Edmund Hobart was born 25 Mar 1894 Gawler West. His father was William Hobart who was born 24 Oct 1853 Devon, England, and died 24 Jun 1931 Gawler. His mother was Sarah Ann Barnett b1856, who married William Hobart on 14 Feb 1876 in Gawler West. George Edmund was married 6 May 1913 in Gawler to Amy Florence Atyeo, who was born 7 Oct 1887 Wards Belt SA (5). James Thomas Hobart was born 20 Mar 1882 at Mambray Creek SA, an older brother to George Edmund (6). The James Hobart Marriage Index tells us James Thomas Hobart married 1907 Edith Daisy Templer in the Port Gawler District (7). The Edith Templer Birth Index shows Edith Daisy Templer was born 1880 to William Henry Templer and Nora Willshire Thorpe in the Clare District (8). William Henry Templer and Nora Willshire Thorpe had seven children [1] Alberta Nora Templer born 22 Jul 1866 North Adelaide; [2] Ethel Grace Templer born 29 Aug 1868 Adelaide; [3] Albert Edgar Templer born 28 Dec 1869 Adelaide; [4] Lilian Frances Templer born 3 Feb 1872 Adelaide; [5] Harry Barton Templer born 21 Mar 1874 North Adelaide; [6] Victor William Templer born 24 Apr 1877 North Adelaide; [7] Edith Daisy Templer born 10 Jul 1880 Laura SA (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hobart_g.e..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SG9iYXJ0&g=Rw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/73787977?searchTerm=George%20Hobart&searchLimits= 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SG9iYXJ0&g=Rw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I228762&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I280196&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SG9iYXJ0&g=SmFtZXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=VGVtcGxlcg==&g=RWRpdGg=&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I58969&tree=SouthAustralia 512 Steven W Hockey died aged 17 years on 16-11-75, son of R&J Hockey, brother of Paul and Wayne (1). The Steven Hockey search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has on the Burial Register Steven Wayne Hockey aged 17y and on the Memorial Inscription Steven W Hockey aged 17yrs died in 1975 (2). A cross-reference is on the Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser: Steven Wayne Hockey’s funeral appears on 1975-11-17 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hockey_steven_w.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SG9ja2V5&g=U3RldmVu&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html 513 William Henry Hocking died aged 68 years on 24 Nov 1913. His wife Charlotte Hocking died aged 86 years on 9 June 1942. Their daughter Susan Frances Jane Hocking aged 9 years on 2 June 1899 (1). According to the LDS site, William Henry Hocking was born in 1849, which is 4 years later than my calculated c1845 from his age on his day of death. So was he really only 64 years old when he died, is it a different William Henry Hocking, or are the Morman gatherers wrong? The LDS story says William Henry Hocking was born in 1849, his father was Joseph Hocking. LDS say that William Henry Hocking was a widower when he was married 15 Dec 1877 in Adelaide to Charlotte Penn born 13 Jan 1856 Eastern Sources of Torrens SA. Their children included [1] Selina May Hocking born 18 Mar 1879 Lyndoch; [2] William James Hocking born 17 Sep 1880 Gawler; [3] John Samuel Francis Thomas Hocking born 21 Apr 1885 Head of Eba SA; [4] Ethel Maude Hocking born 25 Dec 1886 Morgan SA (2). Charlotte’s date of birth matches my calculated one, but there is no Susan child on the list above. There is no doubt Susan Frances Jane Hocking died, but who were her parents? This and other ads don’t specifically identify anyone other than Susan “Hocking. In loving memory of our dear daughter, Susan Frances Jane (Susie), died June 2, 1899. It's just one year ago. Yes, we remember well. We stood beside her dying bed to bid her a long farewell. With tearful eyes we watched her, and saw her pass away. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. Inserted by her loving parents, sisters, and brothers. Melbourne and Western papers please copy”. The Advertiser, Saturday 2 June 1900 p8 (3). To confirm how many children William Henry and Charlotte had, I did a review of the “all Hocking” Birth Index and found just the four mentioned above with all dates matching (4). There is a Susan Hocking born in 1889 to parents William Hocking and Catherine Lynch from the Frome District on the same “All Hocking” Birth Index (4), and the dates fit, but the parents don’t match the headstone. Is the term “daughter” used lovingly but not strictly accurately for this more distant relative? Given the interstate references in the death notice, could Susan have been born elsewhere? Or was she an adopted daughter? But the Susan Hocking Death Index does say that Susan Frances Jane Hocking died in 1899, with her nominated relative her father William Henry Hocking (5). My instinct tells me that she was a late last child of William Henry and Charlotte, and not formally registered, or my second guess would be the Frome connection. Without a birth certificate or a family bible record, we’ll probably never know 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/hj/hocking_susan_frances_jane,_william_henry_&_charlotte.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I64913&tree=SouthAustralia

Headstone says he was August Hoklas aged 83 years old but the Australian Cemetery “H” page hasn’t noted his age. To my eyes, his surname seems more Horlas than Hoklas (2). There’s nothing at Willaston Cemetery for August Hoklas but South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription showing an August Horlas who died aged 83 in 1968, but I cannot seem to find a Burial Register for August, even when searching “All Hoklas” or “All Horlas” (3). The August Hoklas Birth Index shows that August Heinrich Hoklas was born 1885 to parents Heinrich Johann Georg Hoklas and Christiane Lydia Minge in the Angaston District (4), and on the August Hoklas Death Index, August Heinrich Hoklas died in 1968 Adelaide, with his nominated relative RW West [NC, whatever that means] (5). I am now inclined to think that the Memorial Inscription calling him Horlas is incorrect, and he is really Hoklas. Then on the LDS site, August Heinrich Hoklas was born 3 Dec 1885 Schoenborn SA. His father was Johann Georg Heinrich Hoklas born 31 Aug 1853 Adelaide and died 31 Aug 1911. His mother was Christiane Lydia Minge born 7 May 1856 SA. His parents married 25 Oct 1878 Schoenborn SA (6). So I am now convinced that it is August Heinrich Hoklas, not Horlas, because his mother isalso buried in Willaston, and called Holkas. The Johann H Hoklas buried here is Johann Heinrich Hoklas who was born 21 May 1880 Willochra SA, to the same parents as August Heinrich Hoklas, making him his older brother (7). So these 3 Hoklas burials are mother and two of her sons. As a cross check on the surname, the Gawler Council’s Burial Register tells us that Christine Lydia Hoklas aged 81 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 24/05/1937 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 37 I 2, with Rev Reddin officiating (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hoklas_august.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SG9ybGFz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SG9rbGFz&g=QXVndXN0IA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SG9rbGFz&g=QXVndXN0IA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I105135&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I105133&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I105133&tree=SouthAustralia 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33336 This is a headstone concerning the wife Verne Ann Margaret Scott and three children of the late Dudley Desmond Scott: [1] Gail Merrilyn Williams nee Scott; [2] Mark Charles Scott; and [3] Sharon Anne Holm nee Scott. It is only the latter mentioned Sharon Anne Holm with whom we are currently concerned, and there are no dates or ages to go on with (1). Unfortunately there is nothing in GenealogySA for either a Sharon Holm or a Sharon Scott. In fact the only Holm at Willaston Cemetery is Hanna Holm aged 82 in 1938 (2), although there are 2 with the surname Holme (Carl Fredrik and Elizabeth Jane Holme). But is this headstone merely a memorial with the remains buried elsewhere? Dudley Scott Birth Index shows Dudley Desmond Scott was born 1923 to John Clarence Scott and Elda Alma Fisher in the Mount Barker District (3). A search of Dudley Scott on Advertiser Death Notices shows that Dudley Desmond Scott (Scotty) (Bud) (Doug) (Buddy) died 1991 (4). That’s all on Dudley Desmond Scott at GenealogySA. The “All Scott” Birth Index with father Dudley Desmond Scott uncovers none (5). There’s nothing on Verne Scott. Mark Scott Advertiser Death Notices announce Mark Charles Scott died in 1989, but no other mention on GenealogySA (6). There’s noth about. There’s nothing on Gail Scott, although Gail Williams Advertiser Death Notices for 1988 say Gail Merrilyn (Gay) Williams died (7). LDS, ToG etc no help, and too recent for Trove to be of help, so admit defeat on Sharon Anne Holm nee Scott 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/holm_nee_scott_sharon_anne.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SG9sbQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=U2NvdHQ=&g=RHVkbGV5&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=U2NvdHQ=&g=RHVkbGV5&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=U2NvdHQ=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=U2NvdHQ=&g=TWFyaw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=V2lsbGlhbXM=&g=R2FpbA==&c=&y=&r=MA== Alfred Holmes died 10 Sept 1922, his wife Eugenie died 28 Jun 1914, their son Norman died aged 6 mths 2 Feb 1897 (1). The Alfred Holmes Marriage Index tells us in 1893 he married Eugenie Adelberta Johanna Zowe in the Barossa (2). Eugenie Zowe Birth Index gave no result so an “All Zowe” births were searched to find that in 1867 Eugennie Johane Adelbertha Zowe was born to parents Julius Zowe and Minne Bockmann in the Nairne District (3). Thus she was only 47 years when she died in 1914. Death of [Oscar] Norman Holmes is

confirmed: “Holmes. On the 2nd February, at Queen-street, Gawler South, Oscar Norman, the beloved infant son of A and EA Holmes, aged 6 months”. Bunyip, Friday 5 February 1897 p2 (4). Interestingly, the Oscar Holmes Birth Index shows that in 1896, Oscar Norman Lone Holmes was born to parents Alfred Holmes and Eugenie Adelberta Johanna Lone in the Port Gawler District (5), making mother’s surname quite different to Zowe. We learn Alfred Holmes’ age when he died from this sad story: “Throat cut in hospital. Gawler, September 10. Alfred Holmes (53), of Queen-street, Gawler South, died at the Hutchinson Hospital to-day. It is stated that Holmes, who had been an inmate for some time, was found this morning with his throat cut and a razor by his side. He died from his injuries shortly after 1.30 pm”.

The Stephen Holness Marriage Index shows that he was married in 1926 to Irene Mavis Cullen in the Barossa District (2). The Stephen Holness Birth Index indicates that Stephen John Holness was born in 1908 to William James Holness and Elizabeth Jane Edmonds in the Barossa District (3). But Irene Cullen doesn’t appear on the Birth Index, only on the Marriage Index. However, the “All Cullen” Birth Index shows that Irine[sic] Mavis Cullen was born 1908 to parents Patrick Joseph Cullen and Lydia Mary Traeger in the Barossa District (4). Next problem, the “All Holness” South Australia Cemeteries doesn’t show Irene Mavis is buried at Willaston Cemetery, not even a Memorial Inscription (5). Maybe 10 years is still too recent. It would be nice to confirm her age at death from my estimate of about 96, although as she died in early Jan 2004, she may easily have been still 95 years old, assuming her year of birth [as Irine, not Irene] is correct. On another topic, the “All Holness” Birth Index showed that Betty Dorothy Holness was born in 1926 to parents Stephen John Holness and Irene Mavis Cullen in the Barossa District (6), and she doesn’t appear to have had siblings, which fits the headstone saying, parents of Betty. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/holness_stephen_john_&_irene_mavis.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SG9sbmVzcw==&g=U3RlcGhlbg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SG9sbmVzcw==&g=U3RlcGhlbg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3VsbGVu&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SG9sbmVzcw==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SG9sbmVzcw==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== While researching Stephen and Irene Holness [Note 520], I noticed that on the “All Holness” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, it notes that Elizabeth Jane Holness died in 1921 at the age of 53 years (1), but the Australian Cemeteries data “H” page for Willaston Cemetery says she was 55 years old (2). Although the second number in her age on the headstone (3) may superficially look like a “5”, it is not the same shape as the preceding “5”, and with hindsight, it should be a “3”. A cross-reference can be found at Gawler Council’s Burial Register for Willaston Cemetery which records that Elizabeth Jane Holness aged 53 years of Gawler was buried 8/10/1921 in Plot/Grave/Niche 21 L 2, with Rev STC Best officiating (4). 1 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SG9sbmVzcw==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/holness_elizabeth_jane.jpg 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31516 This Holpze memorial is difficult to make out anything more than the odd word, Evon Joy may have been born in 1926, and may have died 20 Oct 200?4. We have to assume that the surname is correct and applies to all, as it cannot be read from the photo (1). The Evon Holpze search at Genealogy SA revealed nothing at all. An “All Holpze” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery likewise was fruitless (2). Are we sure of the surname spelling? I’ve tried all categories at Genealogy SA for any “Holpze” but nothing at all. A Trove search of “Holpze” in most Australian newspapers was unsuccessful, certainly nothing in SA. There’s nothing on the Savill Index either. A Barossa site with statewide (SA) links said “No grave records were found that matched your search” (3). After quite a few combinations of surname spellings, an “All Holtze” search at South Australia Cemeteries tells us that Maurice George Holtze died in 1968, and Norma Violet Holtze died in 1988. No sign of Evon Joy yet, but I presume she is also of the Holtze family, sharing their memorial as she does (4). The Maurice Holtze Birth Index tells us that Maurice George Holtze was born in 1898 to parents Nicholas Holtze and Annie Birkett in Palmerston (NT) (5). From the following wedding description, it seems Maurice George Holtze’s wife’s maiden name was Bell, and she and George were the parents of Norma Holtze and Evon Holtze: “Wedding Bells: Binet-Bell. A very popular wedding took place at Christ Church, Darwin, on Tuesday, October 9th, at 7.30 pm, the bridegrom being Philip Wadsworth, eldest son of Mrs and the late Mr Binet, of Mt Lawley, West Australia, and the bride Myrtle Lillias Hope, third daughter of Mrs and the late James Bell, of Darwin. .... The bride, who was given away by her brother-in-law, Mr Maurice G Holtze, looked charming .... Miss Heather Bell, sister of the bride who attended as bridesmaid ..... The nieces of the bride, Misses Norma and Evon Holtze .....” Northern Standard (Darwin), Friday 12 October 1934 p1 (6). On the Mundia Genealogy site, there is independent confirmation of “Maurice George Holtze [1898 – 1968], born: Palmerston NT, Lived in: Darwin NT, and died: South Australia, Australia. 4 immediate family members including Norma Violet Estel” (7).

There are no offspring listed for Maurice George Holtze and Norma Violet Bell on an “All Holtze” Birth Index, so presumably they were all born interstate (10). On the Northern Territory Museum website there’s a facsimile document relating to Norma Violet and children being evacuated from Darwin during WWII: Violet Holtze & Family: WWII - Transcript: "Violet Holtze & family Evacu[ees] "President Gra[nt"] Norma, Evon, Kelvin, George, Lowell."

I have attempted to verify the children’s names and birthdays through multiple Trove searches: [1] Norma Vivienne Holtze b1924. No newspaper birth notice found, but this engagement notice says she was the eldest daughter: “Holtze —Burn. The engagement is announced of Norma Vivienne, eldest daughter or Mr and Mrs MG Holtze, 20 Eighth street, Gawler (late of Darwin), to Robert Clifford, eldest son of Mrs and the late Mr RC Burn, 57 Mercer street, Queenscliff, Victoria”. The Advertiser, Saturday 29 March 1947 p20 (12). They must have moved to Victoria after they married and they had at least three sons: “Burn (nee Holtze).

When coloring in with crayons, he reverses his work, and every effort to make him write or draw as a normal child would has been in vain. The Tumut & Adelong Times, Tuesday 8 August 1939 p3 (21). George’s marriage notice says he was the second son of MG Holtze, which is true because Stanley George had died an infant: “Tellam — Holtze. The marriage of Gwenda May, only daughter of Mr and Mrs JM Tellam, Croydon, to Maurice George, second son of Mr and Mrs MG Holtze, Gawler, will be solemnised at Pirie st, Methodist Church, Friday, June 20, at 6.30 pm”. The Advertiser, Saturday 14 June 1952 p22 (22). [6] Stillborn daughter Holtze: “We regret to record the death at birth of a daughter to Mr and Mrs Maurice Holtze at the Darwin Hospital last Wednesday”. Northern Standard (Darwin), Tuesday 8 November 1932 p2 (23). [7] Lowell George Holtze b1935: “To Mr and Mrs Maurice Holtze at the maternity ward of the Darwin Hospital on Monday afternoon last (King's Birthday), a son. Both doing well. Congratulations!” Northern Standard (Darwin), Tuesday 11 June 1935 p2 (24). All this and we have found most dates except for Evon Joy’s Death. It may be 2004, but I haven’t any confirmation of that. Any further needed on the Holtze family, go to “Death of Dr Maurice Holtze “ (25); and “Obituary for Maurice Holtze’s sister Evelina (Mrs Mettam)” (26). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/holpze_norma_violet,_evon_joy_&_maurice_george.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SG9scHpl&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.barossa.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?cemeteryId=0&searchString=Holpze&u=383&t=cemeterySearch&cemeterySearchMode=result s 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SG9sdHo=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SG9sdHpl&g=TWF1cmljZQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48066542?searchTerm=Maurice%20Holtze%20Norma&searchLimits= 7 http://www.mundia.com/au/Search/Results?surname=HOLTZE&birthPlace=Australia 8 http://boards.ancestry.com.au/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=90&p=surnames.holz 9 http://search.findmypast.com.au/search/australasiarecords?sourcecategory=life%20events%20%28bmds%29&datasetname=northern%20territory%20burials,northern%20territory%20bapt isms%20and%20confirmations&page=5 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SG9sdHpl&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 11 http://www.territorystories.nt.gov.au/handle/10070/74426 12 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/74641339?searchTerm=Maurice%20Holtze%20Norma&searchLimits= 13 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36372556?searchTerm=Holtze%20Birth&searchLimits= 14 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45674157?searchTerm=Holtze%20Birth&searchLimits= 15 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93864739?searchTerm=Holtze%20Birth&searchLimits= 16 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48025970?searchTerm=Maurice%20Holtze%20Mrs&searchLimits= 17 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/3385058?searchTerm=Maurice%20Holtze%20Mrs&searchLimits= 18 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48022695?searchTerm=Holtze%20death&searchLimits= 19 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48032658?searchTerm=Maurice%20Holtze%20Mrs&searchLimits= 20 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/4529055?searchTerm=Maurice%20Holtze%20Mrs&searchLimits= 21 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/139300595?searchTerm=Holtze%20Birth&searchLimits=

The Gawler old pioneer cemetery name index contains a list of all burials at Pioneer Park, Gawler’s original cemetery. The only burial listed for 1858 with the initials AEC is that of a one week old baby, Amy Elizabeth Cherry (2). The Amy Cherry Birth Index at GEnealogySA has an Amy Elizabeth Cherry born in 1858 to parents Edward Cherry and Elizabeth Bassett in the Port Gawler District (3). A search of Amy Cherry at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery reveals a Memorial Inscription that says Amy Elizabeth Cherry died in 1858 at the age of 9 days (4). The “All Cherry” Birth Index with parents Edward Cherry and Elizabeth Bassett reveals four births, the first being Amy Elizabeth, after which the family seems to have moved from the Port Gawler District to Adelaide where their remaining three children were born. These were: [1] Amy Elizabeth Cherry b1858; [2] Florence Isabell Ann Cherry b1860; [3] William Herbert Cherry b1861; [4] Edward Spower Cherry b1865 (5). An “All Cherry” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery just shows that Memorial Inscription for Amy Elizabeth Cherry who died after 9 days in 1858 (6). Sadly, Edward Cherry died in 1866 at the age of 39 years: “Death: Cherry. On Friday, the 27th July at Port Adelaide, Mr Edward Cherry, Station master, aged 39”. Bunyip, Saturday 4 August 1866 p2 (7).

There are no family details (1). A search for “F Hood” at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms on a Memorial Inscription that F Hood aged 47 years died in 1960. The Burial Register has a Frederick Hood but no other details available (2). The “F Hood” Death Index shows that Frederick Hood of Gawler died in 1960 with nominated relative his brother Frank Hood (3). A search of Frederick Hood on the Birth Index shows a Frederick Hood born in 1912 to parents Joseph Frederick Hood and Jane Eliza Bunting in the Frome District (4). The “All Hood” Birth Index for parents Joseph Frederick Hood and Jane Eliza Bunting has [1] Francis William Hood b1908 in the Flinders District; [2] Frederick Hood b1912 in the Frome District. There is also a Frank Hood b1906 to parents Joseph Hood and Jane Bunting in the Flinders District (5). But the “All Hood” Death Index shows Frank Hood died in 1906, Clare District (6). So Francis William Hood and Frederick Hood were the brothers, and are both buried in Willaston Cemetery 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hood_f..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SG9vZA==&g=Rg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SG9vZA==&g=Rg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SG9vZA==&g=RnJlZGVyaWNr&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SG9vZA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SG9vZA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Edward Hoole died 14 Aug 1935; his wife Ruby Hoole died 12 Nov 1971. They were the parents of Colin and Margaret (1). The Edward Hoole Birth Index has only one entry: Edward Hoole was born in 1882 to parents Thomas Hoole and Christina Kinnear in the Port Gawler District (2). The Edward Hoole Marriage Index has only one entry: Edward Hoole was married in 1907 to Ruby Robertson in the Clare District (3). The Ruby Robertson Birth Index has three entries but only one who could have married in 1907 (the other two Ruby Robertson births were in 1903, 1924): Ruby Robertson was born 1884 to parents Andrew Archibald Robertson and Sarah Ann Medley in the Daly District (4). On the LDS site, Edward Hoole was born 7 Oct 1882 at Smithfield SA. His father was Thomas Hoole b1843, died 17 Apr 1902 Smithfield. His mother Christina Kinnear born 1849, married Thomas Hoole on 27 Jun 1867 at Hindmarsh, and died 23 Aug 1909 Port Pirie. Edward Hoole was married on 17 Jul 1907 Redhill SA to Ruby Robertson [b1884]. They had a son Mervyn Charles Hoole born Mar 1909 Gawler, who died 6 May 1909 Gawler (5). The “all Hoole” Birth Index for children born to parents Edward Hoole and Ruby Robertson indicates three children: [1] Mervyn Charles b1909; [2] Colin Kingsley b1911; [3] Margaret Allie (6). As Mervyn Charles had died in 1909: “Hoole. On the 6th May, at Gawler South, Mervyn Charles, dearly beloved son of Edward and Ruby Hoole, aged 2 months”. The Advertiser, Friday 7 May 1909 p6 (7), this leaves the two children noted on the headstone (1). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hoole_edward_&_ruby.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SG9vbGU=&g=RWR3YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SG9vbGU=&g=RWR3YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Um9iZXJ0c29u&g=UnVieQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I129728&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SG9vbGU=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5724766?searchTerm=Ruby%20Hoole&searchLimits= A cross, an epitaph RIP and a name William T Hopgood is all this headstone notes (1). A search of William Hopgood Newspaper Death Notices has 2 Advertiser Notices in 1999 for William Thomas (Bill) Hopgood, and one the same year for William T Hopgood (2). There is nothing else at Genealogy SA for a William T Hopgood. The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices confirms William Thomas (Bill) Hopgood was on 1999-01-12, and Susan Ruth Hopgood on 1985-03-07 (3). The only Hopgood mentioned at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery is a Memorial Inscription for Susan Ruth Hopgood who was 22 years old when she died in 1985 (4). At this stage, without more information, I won’t even claim that this is the William T Hopgood who died in 1991, expecially as I cannot find further mention of him at Willaston Cemetery [apart from the headstone]. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hopgood_william_t.jpg

His wife Florence Hore died aged 87 on 2 Sep 1983. Parents of Loyla and Ross (deceased) (1). Searching Sydney Hore at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows that Sydney Frederick Hore appears on the Burial Register, with the Memorial Inscription says Sydney F Hore died aged 69y in 1966 (2). The Sydney Hore Birth Index tells us Sydney Frederick Hore was born in 1897 to parents Charles Hore and Ellen Langmead in the Daly District (3). The Sydney Hore Marriage Index shows Sydney Frederick Hore was married in 1920 to Florence Maud Eatts in the Daly District (4). The Florence Eatts Birth Index shows us that Florence Maud Eats[sic] in 1895 to parents Jonathan Eats and Adeline Barratt in the Yankalilla District (5). On the LDS site, Sydney Frederick Hore was born 21 Jul 1897 at Willamulka SA. His father was Charles Hore born 6 Dec 1865 Wallaroo Mines SA who was married 21 Feb 1889 Willamulka to Sydney’s mother Ellen Langmead who was born 9 Dec 1869 at Moonta SA (6). Florence Maud’s surname was Eatts: “Hore— Eatts: On the 12th April, at Victoria-square Church, Kadina, by the Rev TP Willason, Sydney Frederick, second son of Mr and Mrs C Hore, Willamulka, to Florence Maud, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs J Eatts, Milang.

The George Horgan Marriage Index says George Joseph Horgan married Nora Mary Murphy in 1920 in the Clare District (2). On the Gawler Council’s Burial Register, George Joseph Horgan aged 51 years from One Tree Hill was buried 22/08/1939 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 22 N 3, with Father O`Sullivan officiating (3). Unfortunately I haven’t got access to Nora Mary’s Willaston data. Neither GJ nor NM are on their Birth Indexes. “Horgan: On the 21st of August at private hospital, Gawler, George Joseph Horgan, of Onetree Hill, late of Gulnare, loved husband of Norah Horgan, and loving father of Maxwell and Peter, aged 51 years. Requiescat in pace”.

A much older headstone has the same message but says she died 1888, although the figures are distorted, with the last two 8’s different to the first (2). My impression is that the newer headstone (1) is more likely more accurate. There is only one entry for Marie Horne at South Australia Cemeteries, and that is at Willaston Cemetery where the Memorial Inscription reads that Marie Teresa Horne aged 27 years died in 1899 (3). There is no further information on Marie Horne at Genealogy SA, however an “all Horne” Birth Index search for Louis Horne and Kenneth Horne showed Wilfred Bannister Horne and Teresa Marie Lynch in the Barossa District had two children: [1] Louis Sefton Horne b1897; [2] Kenneth Edgar Horne b1898 (4). There was no entry for a Marie Lynch marrying a Horne on the Marriage Index but on the Teresa Lynch Marriage Index, we find that Teresa Lynch was married in 1895 to Wilfred Bannister Horne in the Barossa District (5). The Wilfred Horne Marriage Index shows that Wilfred Bannister Horne married twice: [1] Teresa Lynch 1895 in the Barossa District; [2] Harriet Lucy Newbery 1908 in Adelaide, ten years after his first wife died (6). The Wilfred Horne Death Index shows Wilfred Bannister Horne died in 1957 in the Port Adelaide District (7). For my purposes, showing the 1888 or 1899 dates to be incorrect, I have combined the two Marie Teresa Horne entries into of entry. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/horne_marie_teresa_%28nee_lynch%29.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/horne_marie_teresa_2_%28nee_lynch%29.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SG9ybmU=&g=TWFyaWU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SG9ybmU=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=THluY2g=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SG9ybmU=&g=V2lsZnJlZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SG9ybmU=&g=V2lsZnJlZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== The first Glen Hough headstone actually doesn’t say Hough anywhere, so presumably there’s some external indicator of his surname. This headstone says Glen was born 30-10-1919, died 10-6-1995, aged 75 years, wife Barbara (1). The second headstone has Rita Irene Hough died aged 47 years on 25 April 1970 [mum and nanna of Wayne, Maralyn, Don and Lisa]; her husband Glen Hough died aged 75 years on 10th June 1995 (2). So there are two memorials for Glen Hough. For my purposes I can combine the two entries. I presume that Glen Hough married Barbara after his first wife Rita Irene died. Glen Hough doesn’t appear on GenealogySA except for an Advertiser Death Notice for 1995 (3). Here’s son Wayne: “Birth: Hough (nee Heidrich). On May 26, at Whyalla Hospital, to Rita and Glen —a son (Wayne Glenroy). Thanking Dr Wallace and staff”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 29 May 1947 p34 (4). And Rita Irene’s: The Rita Heidrich Birth Index shows that Rita Irene Heidrich was born in 1922 to parents Paul Arthur Heidrich and Bertha Erna Russack in the Angaston District (5). But there is very little other data to be found on any of my searches 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hough_glen.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hough_rita_irene_&_glen.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=SG91Z2g=&g=R2xlbg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93344477?searchTerm=Glen%20Hough%20Rita&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices|||ltitle=291 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SGVpZHJpY2g=&g=Uml0YQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== Daphne Eveline Howard shares a Warner headstone. James Warner died 5 Oct 1947; Alma Eveline Warner died 7 Oct 1968. Beneath the name Daphne Eveline Howard is the name Amos Andrew (?Howard) died 21 Jan 2003 (1). I suspect that date refers to Daphne not Amos as there is no mention of an Amos Howard on Australian Cemeteries Willaston “H” page (2). Genealogy SA has no entries for Daphne
Eveline Howard. The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices show Daphne Eveline Howard’s funeral was 2012-08-10, so the headstone date of death is not hers. However on the same Index, Amos Andrew Howard’s Funeral Notice was 2003-01-22, coinciding with the date on the headstone (3). So where is his entry on Australian Cemeteries Willaston “H” page? (2). The Amos Howard Birth Index shows Amos Andrew Howard was born in 1920 to parents Thomas Henry Howard and Lavinia Selina Tilmouth in the Gilbert District (4). Three Advertiser Death Notices for 2003 confirm Amos Andrew Howard died in 2003 (5). The LDS site has scant information on James Warner, who was born in 1869. He was married on 17 Oct 1909 in Gawler to Alma Eveline Lehmann born 28 Oct 1885 Millendella SA (6). The headstone connection is that Daphne was born a Warner: “Warner—Howard. The marriage of Daphne, only daughter of Mr and Mrs J Warner, of Gawler, to Amos A Howard, son of Mr and Mrs T Howard, Orroroo, will be solemnised at Zion Lutheran Church, Gawler, on Saturday, April 4, at 3pm. All friends and relatives cordially invited to ceremony. No reception. The Advertiser, Saturday 28 March 1942 p12 (7). But still cannot find her on a Birth Index until an “All Warner” Birth Index search reveals that Daphnie[sic] Eveline Warner was born 1924 to parents James Warner and Alma Eveline Lehmann in the Port Gawler District (8). We know that Thomas Henry Howard and Lavinia Selina Howard nee Tilmouth were Amos Andrew Howard’s parents (4). The Lavinia Tilmouth Birth Index has Lavinia Selina Tilmouth born 1890 to parents Albert Edward Tilmouth and Sarah Agnes Crabb in the Frome District (9). The Lavinia Howard Death Index shows Lavinia Salina[sic] Howard died in 1969, with nominated relative her deceased husband William Thomas Howard (10), which is confusing as she married Thomas Henry Howard. Maybe she married again after TH Howard died in 1955 to another Howard? Thomas Henry Howard aged 81 years from Yatina was buried 19/02/1955 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 31A N 4, with Rev Broadbent officiating (11). The “All Howard” Birth Index looking for Howard births with mother Lavinia or Lavina, Selina or Salina yields 3 children: [1] Herbert Stanley Howard b1912; [2] Maxwell Henry Edgar Howard b1917; [3] Amos Andrew Howard b1920, all born to parents Thomas Henry Howard and Lavinia Selina Tilmouth in the Gilbert District (12). It is to be noted that on this same index, there are two William Thomas Howard births: in 1871 to mother Sarah Howard of Adelaide; and in 1880 to parents William John Howard and Catherine Emily Rogers in the Burra District (12). But on the William Thomas Howard Death Index, the William Thomas Howard b1871 also died 1871; and the William Thomas Howard b1880 died in 1882 (13), hence neither could have married Lavina after Thomas Henry died. I suspect that whoever wrote down the deceased husband’s name was inadvertently given false info or made a mistake. The “All Howard” search at South Australia Cemeteries shows no William Thomas Howards at all, and all the Howards buried at Willaston are: [1] EV Howard; [2] James Leo Howard aged 63 in 1965: [3] Jane Cecilia aged 55 in 1961; [4] John Howard; [5] Lavina Salina aged 78 in 1969; [6] Mary Howard aged 21 and 3 months in 1914; [7] May Howard; [8] Mervyn Roy Howard aged 74 in 1992; [9] Michael John Howard; [10] Thomas Henry Howard aged 81 in 1955 (14). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/howard_daphne_eveline.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SG93YXJk&g=QW1vcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=SG93YXJk&g=QW1vcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I300341&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48750492?searchTerm=Daphne%20Marriage%20Howard&searchLimits=l-title=44 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=V2FybmVy&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=VGlsbW91dGg=&g=TGF2aW5pYQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SG93YXJk&g=TGF2aW5pYQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 11 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33766 12 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SG93YXJk&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 13 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SG93YXJk&g=V2lsbGlhbSBUaG9tYXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 14 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SG93YXJk&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 532 This headstone apparently notes Arthur Ronald; Elizabeth Jestina Ruby and Leslie Dennis, which I know as it says so on the photo’s handle. I cannot really make out anything on the headstone photo, which is a shame as there seems to be loads of information there (1). An Arthur Hudson search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription showing Arthur Ronald Hidson[sic] aged 87 years died in 2007, but no Arthur Hudsons at all (2). The Arthur Hudson Birth Index shows only one Arthur Ronald, that of Arthur Ronald Hidson born in 1919 to parents William Durant Hidson and Janet Matilda Toop in the Hindmarsh District (3). An Elizabeth Hudson search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Elizabeth Justina[sic] Ruby Hidson aged 60 years dying in 1980 (4). The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices for selective years shows Arthur Ronald Hidson’s funeral on 2007-01-02; and Elizabeth Jestina Ruby Hidson’s funeral on 1980-02-12 (5). I’m sure there cannot be too many Elizabeth Jestina Ruby H_dsons buried with an Arthur Ronald H_dson in South Australia, but a little more cross-referencing would be helpful. Of course, we haven’t established Arthur and Elizabeth’s relationship: ?married ?siblings. An “All Hudson” Birth Index looking for children of William Durant Hidson and Janet Matilda Toop reveals 3, all born in the Hindmarsh District: [1] Arthur Ronald b1919; [2] Joyce Annie b1921; [3] Violet Marjorie b1923 (6), so it’s looking less likely they were siblings. The only Hidson marriages can be found on an “All Hudson” Marriage Index for Hidson marriages [1] Janet Matilda Hidson in 1930 married William Edward Williams in Adelaide; and [2] Phyllis Janet Louisa Hidson in 1933 married William Ronald Adams in Adelaide (7). I cannot find a record of either bride’s birth on GenealogySA. “Approaching Marriages: Hidson —Fraser. Violet M, youngest daughter of Mrs Williams and late W Hidson, Brompton, to JW (Bill), eldest son Mrs Gelder and late G Fraser, Adelaide, at St Paul's, Pulteney St, Sept 18, 3 pm. No reception”. The Advertiser, Saturday 11 September 1943 p10 (8). Then this was Arthur Ronald Hidson’s younger sister Violet Marjorie b1923 [and why doesn’t this show up on the Marriage Index?]. Their father was the late W Hidson, so I wonder if the Mrs Williams who was their mother was in fact Janet Matilda Hidson and was in fact the widow of W Hidson? I am starting to understand why all this is so confusing. Here’s Harry G Hidson, apparently another sibling of Arthur Ronald: “Jenkins —Hidson. The engagement is announced of Mary R, eldest daughter of Mrs and the late Mr FK Jenkins, of North Kensington, to Harry G, second son of Mrs T Williams, and the late Mr Hidson, of Brompton. The Advertiser, Wednesday 4 March 1942 p10 (9). Mary and Harry have a child: “Hidson. On May 12, at Memorial Hospital, to Mary and Harry —a daughter (Margaret Ann)”. The Advertiser, Monday 17 May 1948 p8 (1). Where is Margaret Ann Hidson on the GenealogySA site? Arthur Ronald’s sister Joyce must have married Bill Hill unannounced: “Hill (nee Hidson). On January 25, at St Ann's, Cheltenham, to Joyce and Bill —a daughter (Wendy Margaret). Thanking Dr Jolly and hospital staff. No visitors for seven days”. The Advertiser, Saturday 27 January 1945 p12 (11). “Fraser (nee Hidson). To Vi and Bill, July 2, at Queen Victoria Hospital —a son (Leslie William). Special thanks to Dr Joynt, Sisters Francis, Ramsey and nurses”. The Advertiser, Wednesday 5 July 1944 p10 (12). Another Hidson announcement is interesting. Betty Dennis married Flt-Sgt Hidson: “Hidson (nee Betty Dennis). On May 2, to Betty, wife of Flight-Sgt Hidson — a daughter (Janis May). Special thanks to Dr Boucaut and hospital staff, Mallala Private Hospital. Both well”. Chronicle, Thursday 13 May 1943 p10 (13). Not sure who
this particular Hidson is, but suppose our Leslie Dennis Hudson/Hidson was actually just Leslie Dennis, a relative of Betty? That makes sense as I’ve had no luck in my exhaustive searching for Leslie Dennis. The Leslie Dennis search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription for Leslie Dennis who died aged 80 years in 1971 (14). The “All Dennis” Birth Index shows that Leslie Dennis and Florence May Dennis {?cousins] are the parents of Ruby Elizabeth Dennis and Elizabeth Jestina Ruby Dennis, both b1919 and most likely twins (15). So only one of the 4 original Hudsons, 2 are Hidsons, and one is a Dennis. Ancestry.com has some information about Leslie Dennis who was born in Silverton NSW in 1891 to William James Dennis and Mary Justine Trenerry. Leslie married Florence May and died in 1971 (16). A website called “The Circle of Life” notes that Leslie & Florence May Dennis had their Divorce Notice in the Advertiser 2 March 1932: Mr Justice Piper, in the Divorce Court yesterday, granted orders nisi in the following case: Leslie Dennis (labourer), of Falcon avenue, Mile End (plaintiff) and Florence May Dennis and Thomas Arthur Wearing, labourer of Hanson street, Adelaide, on the ground of misconduct (17). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/hj/hudson_leslie_dennis,_elizabeth_jestina_ruby,_arthur_ronald.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SHVkc29u&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SHVkc29u&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SHVkc29u&g=RWxpemFiZXRo&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SHVkc29u&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SHVkc29u&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48766902?searchTerm=Hidson%20marriages&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48747036?searchTerm=Hidson%20marriages&searchLimits= 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43767195?searchTerm=Hidson%20marriages&searchLimits= 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43238673?searchTerm=Hidson%20marriages&searchLimits= 12 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43210959?searchTerm=Hidson%20marriages&searchLimits= 13 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92368729?searchTerm=Hidson%20marriages&searchLimits= 14 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=RGVubmlz&g=TGVzbGll&c=&y=&r=MA== 15 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RGVubmlz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 16 http://records.ancestry.com/leslie_dennis_records.ashx?pid=74407213 17 http://sabdmsonline.weebly.com/did.html 533 According to the “H” data page at Australian Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, this lady is 752 years old, which must be some sort of local record, not seen since the early Old Testament times (1). Hoewver, a check of the accompanying photo, Minnie Huitema who died on 1st Oct 1937 was actually only aged 72 years (2). Searching Minnie Huitema at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, we find a Memorial Inscription that confirms she was 72y when she died in 1937 (3). But that is the only information at GenealogySA for this name. However, an “all Huitema” searching at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery yields the names Harry Huitema and Wilhelmina Huitema on the Burial Register, as well as the Memorial Inscription for Minnie (4). The Harry Huitema Marriage Index shows that a Harry Sam Huitema was married in 1906 to Ernstine Wilhelmine Schwartzkopff in Adelaide (5). Wilhelmina Huitema aged 72 from Gawler was buried 2/10/1937 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 44 I 2, with Rev Heidenreich officiating (6). Harry Huitema aged 70 from Gawler was buried 1/09/1938 Willaston Cemetery in the re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 44 I 2, with Rev Asser officiating (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/huitema_minnie.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SHVpdGVtYQ==&g=TWlubmll&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SHVpdGVtYQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SHVpdGVtYQ==&g=SGFycnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33366 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33421 534 David H Humphrys died aged 76 years on 6 Sept 1938; his wife Annie Alice Humphrys died aged 92 years on 7 Apr 1958 (1). Unfortunately on the Australian Cemetery website for Willaston Cemetery’s data page “H”, they give Annie Alice Humphrys’ age as 76 (2), but it clearly says 92 years. The David Humphrys search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says David Henry Humphrys on the Burial Register and on the Memorial Inscription, David H Humphrys aged 76y died in 1938 (3). The Annie Humphrys search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery’s Burial Register says Annie Alice Humphreys[sic] and on the Memorial Inscription, Annie Alice Humphrys was 92y when she died 1958 (4). The David Humphrys Marriage Index shows David Henry Humphrys was married in 1892 to Annie Alice Lodge in the Barossa (5). The Annie Lodge Birth Index shows Annie Alice Lodge was born in 1865 to parents Stephen Lodge and Mary Ann Speller in the Barossa (6). The LDS site tells us that David Henry Humphrys was born 19 Mar 1862 at Para Wirra SA to the same parents as for George Tilson Humphrys, and hence was his brother [See Note 535]. David Henry Humphrys was married 5 Nov 1892 in Gawler to Annie Alice Lodge, born 17 Aug 1865 Gawler River. Their children were [1] Olive Dorcas Humphrys born 19 Sep 1895 Wards Belt SA, died 16 Jan 1896 Gawler River; [2] Elsie Jane Humphrys born 28 Jan 1898 Wards Belt; [3] Neva Lucy Humphrys born 20 Jul 1901 Wards Belt (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/humphrys_david_h_&_annie_alice.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SHVtcGhyeXM=&g=RGF2aWQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SHVtcGhyeXM=&g=QW5uaWU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SHVtcGhyeXM=&g=RGF2aWQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TG9kZ2U=&g=QW5uaWU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I30773&tree=SouthAustralia 535 Eleanor E Humphrys died 20 June 1923; her husband George T Humphrys died 18 Dec 1949 (1). Unfortunately on the Australian Cemetery website for Willaston Cemetery’s data page “H”, they say that George T Humphrys died 08 Dec 1949 (2). The Advertiser, Monday 19 December 1949 p16 gives most of the missing data: “Humphrys. On December 18, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, George Tilson, beloved husband of the late Eleanor Edith Humphrys, of Kangaroo Flat, and loving father of Horace. In his 85th year. At rest” (3). We now know his and his wife’s full names, his age of 84 [in his 85th year] and his date of death, the 18th Dec, not the 8th Dec. He was thus born c1865, which is confirmed on the George Humphrys Birth Index, which says George Tilson Humphrys was born in 1865 to parents George Tilson Humphrys and Elizabeth Heaslip in Adelaide (4). The George Humphrys Marriage Index shows that George

Tilson Humphrys was married in 1897 to Eleanor Edith Ragless in the Barossa (5). “Death: Humphris[sic]. On the 20th June, at Adelaide, Eleanor Edith, dearly beloved wife of George T Humphris, of Kangaroo Flat, aged 56 years”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 23 June 1923 p35 (6). This means Eleanor Edith must have been born c1867. The LDS site says that George Tilson Humphrys was born 5 May 1865 at South Rhine SA, died 18 Dec 1949, and is buried Willaston Cemetery. He was a grocer, who resided in Gawler, a Methodist. His father was Francis Humphrys b1828, died 14 Feb 1888 at Wasleys, who was married on 23 Jul 1857 at Gawler, to Elizabeth Heaslip, who was born 1837, and died 18 Jun 1880 Wasleys. George Tilson Humphrys was married 15 Apr 1897 in Gawler to Eleanor Edith Ragless, who was born 13.4.1867 Kangaroo Flat SA, and die 20.6.1923. Apparently their only child was Horace George Humphrys born 13 Jan 1898 Willaston and died 1964 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/humphrys_eleanor_e_&_george_t.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35784009?searchTerm=George%20Humphrys&searchLimits=fromyyyy=1949|||frommm|||fro mdd|||toyyyy=1949|||tomm|||todd 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SHVtcGhyeXM=&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SHVtcGhyeXM=&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/89244208?searchTerm=Eleanor%20Humphrys&searchLimits=fromyyyy=1923|||toyyyy=1923 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I30203&tree=SouthAustralia David John Hurst died 1985-04-01, son of Lyn and David (1). The search of David Hurst at South Australia Cemeteries showed that David John Hurst died in 1985, and appears on the Burial Register and has a Memorial Inscription at Willaston Cemetery (2). But that’s all there is on Genealogy SA. It is probably too recent, especially if David John Hurst was young. No sign of a marriage of David and Lyn on Trove etc. Must await seeing the actual Burial Register for Willaston Cemetery 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hurst_david_john.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SHVyc3Q=&g=RGF2aWQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== Alfred Hurst died aged 73 years on 1956-11-24; his wife Amy Hurst was 76 when she died 1964-01-23 (1). The Gawler Council’s Willaston Cemetery Burial Register says Albert Alfred Hurst aged 73 from Willaston was buried 26/11/1956 in the re-opened Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 23 B 2, with Rev Bleby officiating (2). So who already is in there? Amy Evis Hurst aged 76 years from Gawler was buried 24/01/1964 in the again re-opened Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 23 B 2, with Rev F Mager officiating (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hurst_alfred_&_amy_evis.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34607 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34441 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SHVyc3Q=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== James Harvey Hurst died aged 88 years on 20 Dec 1954; his wife Martha Hurst died aged 84 years on 9 May 1959 (1). The data on the “H” page of Australian Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says James Harvey Hurst was 60 years old, but it seems more likely to be 88 years to me. Also Martha Hurst looks like she died 9th May, not the 5th (2). On the Gawler Council website, James Harvey Hurst aged 88 years of Gawler was buried 22/12/1954 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 62 P 4 (3). So his age of 88 years at death agrees with my reading of the headstone, and puts his birth c1868. Martha Elizabeth Hurst aged 84 years from Adelaide was buried 11/05/1959 Willaston Cemetery in the same Plot/Grave/Niche 62 P 4 as her husband (4). This burial date would favour her death being closer to the 9th, not the 5th; but as Trove only allows newspapers up to the mid1950’s I cannot say definitely without examining the headstone myself, or seeing her death certificate. The James Harvey Hurst Marriage Index says he married Martha Elizabeth Bouquey 1896 in the Kapunda District (5). Although we cannot find the James Harvey Hurst Birth Index, the Martha Bouquey Birth Index confirms the Martha Elizabeth Bouquey birth in 1875 to partents Mitchel Bouquey and Martha Elizabeth Curtis in the Port Adelaide District (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hurst_james_harvey_&_martha.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33757 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34237 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SHVyc3Q=&g=SmFtZXMgSGFydmV5&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Qm91cXVleSA=&g=TWFydGhh&c=&y=&r=MA== Arthur L Hutchins aged 70 years, died 1 March 1978 (1). An Arthur Hutchins search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Arthur Laurie Hutchins aged 70 years on the Burial Register, but the Memorial Inscription says Arthur L Hutchens[sic] aged 70y died in 1978 (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hutchins_arthur.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SHV0Y2hpbnM=&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== Ethel Hutchins died aged 55 years on 31 Jan 1946; her husband Carl T Hutchins died aged 70 years on 13 July 1965 (1). The Carl Hutchins search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery note that it was Carl Thomas Hutchins on the Burial Register, and on the Memorial Inscription Carl T Hutchins aged 70y died in 1965 (2). The Carl Hutchins Marriage Index shows that in 1919 Carl Thomas Hutchins married Mary Ann Ethel Ayling in the Barossa (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hutchins_ethel_&_carl_t.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SHV0Y2hpbnM=&g=Q2FybA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SHV0Y2hpbnM=&g=Q2FybA==&c=&y=&r=MA== Doreen AM Hutchins died aged 39 years on 10 Nov 1950; Her husband Herbert Hutchins aged 80 died on the 15th April ???? (1). Unfortunately there’s a floral display in the way, which behoves the photographer to take notes at the graveside when the headstone is obscured like this, or even temporarily move the obstruction before taking the photo! In this case, Herbert is beloved husband of presumably Doreen and M??? And why are Doreen and Herbert on the same side of the headstone? Who’s the other half for? A Herbert Hutchins search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription saying Herbert Hutchins was 80 years old when he died in 1986 (2). The Herbert Hutchins Marriage Index shows only one marriage. He married Doreen Alice May Stacey 1928 in the Port Gawler District (3). The Doreen Stacey Birth Index shows Doreen Alice May Stacey was born in 1911 to parents Alexander Archibald Jonathen Stacey and Alice Emily Cork in the Port Gawler District (4). The Herbert Hutchins Birth Index shows he was born in 1905 to parents Fredrick[sic] Richard Hutchins and Mary Norah Dwyer in the Barossa – see also Note 544 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hutchins_doreen_a.m._&_herbert.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SHV0Y2hpbnM=&g=SGVyYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA==

Their son Freddy Hutchins died but no detail at all (1). An “All Hutchins” Birth Index for children of Frederick J and Margaret show that Fredrick John Hutchins and Margaret Wasley of the Port Gawler District had at least six children: [1] Margaret Mary Hutchins b1916; [2] Frederick James Thomas Hutchins b1918; [3] Violet Eileen Hutchins b1921; [4] Douglas Clarance Hutchins b1923; [5] Ruth Patricia Hutchins b1925; [6] George Keith Hutchins b1928 (2). The only likely “Freddy” is Frederick James Thomas Hutchins b1918. A Frederick Hutchins Death Index shows that Frederick James Thomas Hutchins died in 1922, with nominated relative his father Frederick John Hutchins in the Port Gawler District (3). Frederick James Thomas Hutchins aged 3 years from Gawler South was buried 11/06/1922 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 8 O 3, with Rev Father Maher officiating (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hutchins_freddy,_frederick_j_&_margaret.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SHV0Y2hpbnM=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SHV0Y2hpbnM=&g=RnJlZGVyaWNr&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31548 Greta C Hutchins 1917-1988 (1).

This admittedly hard-to-read headstone seems to say that Frederick died in 1956, not in 1966 as it says on the Australian Cemeteries’ Willaston Cemetery “H” data page (2). A Frederick Hutchins search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery yields a Memorial Inscription that says Frederick Hutchins aged 85 years died in 1956 (3), agreeing with my reading of the headstone. The Frederick Hutchins Marriage Index has a Frederick Richard Hutchins marrying Mary Norah Dwyer 1893 in the Barossa (4). The connection is proven with all dates coinciding on the Gawler Council’s Willaston Cemetery Data. Mary Norah Hutchins aged 62 of Willaston was buried 28/06/1934 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 39 O 3, with Father O'Sullivan officiating (5). Frederick Richard Hutchins aged 85 years of Gawler was buried 3/11/1956 Willaston Cemetery the re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 39 O 3, with Father Sparkes officiating (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hutchins_mary_&_frederick.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SHV0Y2hpbnM=&g=RnJlZGVyaWNr&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SHV0Y2hpbnM=&g=RnJlZGVyaWNr&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33049 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34602 William Hutchison died in an accident at Freeling aged 44 years on 25 April 1877; his wife Elizabeth Hutchison 26 Sept 1920. Also buried is their son Frank but I cannot read the rest (1). So I must rely on what is written on the “H” data page (2). Searching Elizabeth Hutchison at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery reveals a Memorial Inscription Elizabeth Hutchison who died aged 94y in 1920 (3). Searching Frank Hutchison at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Frank Hutchison on the Burial Register, with the Memorial Inscription saying that Frank Hutchison died aged 55 years old in 1923 (4), confimed by this notice in the Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 29 August 1925 p20: “Hutchison: In sad but loving memory of our dear uncle Frank, who passed away August 26th, 1923. Years roll on and time goes on, Every flower will fade and die. Every rising sun will set; No one knows the depth of our regret, But we will remember when others forget. Inserted by Mr and Mrs NM Hutchison and Mr and Mrs H Prince” (5). Elizabeth died on the 22nd: “Hutchison. On the 22nd September, at her residence, "Leaf Cottage," Finniss-street, North Adelaide, Elizabeth, relict of William Hutchison, age 94 years. A colonist of 63 years”.

John Bellhouse Fuller Ifould died 21 May 1989, husband of Evelyn, father of Peter and Mary (2). A John Ifould search at Newspaper Death Notices shows 6 Advertiser notices in 1989 for John Bellhouse (Jack) Ifould (3). The John Ifould Marriage Index has John Bellhouse Ifould married in 1933 to Evelyn Hope Connor in the Barossa District (4). The Evelyn Connor Birth Index has Evelyn Hope Connor born 1908 to parents Dashwood Charles Connor and Lilian Jean Dove in the Barossa District (5). “Items of Social Interest: The marriage of Miss Evelyn Hope Connor, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs DC Connor, of Yenda, Gawler, and Mr Jack Ifould, only son of Mr and Mrs FL Ifould, of One Tree Hill, will take place on February 28 at 2.30 pm at St George's Church, Gawler. A reception will be held afterwards at the home of the bride's parents”. News (Adelaide), Friday 24 February 1933 p8 (6). Jack’s parents marry: “Ifould — Skewes. On the 12th February, at the residence of the bride's parents, by the Rev W Penry Jones, Frank Lomer, second son of Edward L Ifoul, Esq JP, Onetree Hill, to Eliza Maud, only daughter of John Skewes, Norwood”. The Advertiser, Thursday 5 March 1896 p4 (7). I could not find Jack’s year of birth until I did a general Google for “Ifould Family Australia” and found a site called Mundia by Ancestry.com and they showed John Bellhouse Fuller Ifould 1906 – 1989 Born: South Australia, Australia.

On the Gawler Council’s Willaston Cemetery Burial Register, James Ireland aged 75 years from Gawler was buried 15/05/1941 Plot/Grave/Niche 17 G 4, with Rev Tresise officiating (2). Ellen Ireland aged 83 years from Gawler was buried 12/12/1948 in the re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 17 G 4, with Rev Stubley officiating (3). According to the LDS site, James Ireland was born 20 Mar 1867 Yorketown SA and died 14 May 1941 Gawler, buried at Willaston. His father was Robert Ireland born 1833 Walton, Somerset, England, and died 10 May 1894 Head of Barunga SA. His mother was Harriet Jones b1835 Meare, Somerset, England. James Ireland was married 9 Apr 1889 at Baptist Church, Wokurna SA to Ellen Arbon [born 27 Jan 1866 Myponga SA to parents Ed Arbon and Hannah Harper, and died 11 Dec 1948]. Their children included: [1] Isabella Blanche Waters nee Ireland b 28 Feb 1890 Hawker SA and died 1941; [2] Oliver James Ireland born 9 Sep 1891 Wokurna, died 19 Feb 1892 Wokurna; [3] Ethel Pearl Wilson nee Ireland born 19 Jan 1893 Wokurna, died 1967; [4] Edward Roy Ireland born 29 Oct 1895 Wokurna; [5] Walter Ernest Ireland b1898, d1956; [6] Sidney Robert (or Robert Sidney) Ireland b 8 Sep 1900 Wokurna, d1940; [7] Ivy Adele Button nee Ireland born 6 Oct 1902 Snowtown SA; [8] Leslie Clement Ireland b1905; [9] Jack Harold Ireland born c1908 (4). “Death: Ireland. On the 28th of December, at Gawler, Sydney Robert (Bob), beloved husband of Edna Blanche Ireland, of 4 Howard street, Gawler. Aged 39 years. Privately interred”. The Advertiser, Monday 30 December 1940 p4 (5). By my calculation, I make his age 40, not 39, unless his date of birth is wrong. I’ll just go along with the contemporary report, especially with the Gawler Council Willaston Cemetery’s Burial register saying Sydney Robert Ireland aged 39 years from Gawler was buried 29/12/1940 Plot/Grave/Niche 21 B 4 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/ireland_james_&_ellen.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32756 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34052 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I30127&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/41912745?searchTerm=Sidney%20Robert%20Ireland&searchLimits= 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33551 Jack Ireland died 13 Sept 1975. His wife Lorna died 28 Feb 2005; their several children’s names are obscured by floral tributes, but they look like Joy... ....... ?Collene (1). By searching the Advertiser Death Notices for 1975, we find 2 notices for Jack Ireland and 2 for Jack Harold Claude Ireland (2). There’s no Marriage Index for Jack Ireland on Genealogy SA, but the Jack Ireland Birth Index tells us that in 1907, Jack Harrold[sic] Claude Ireland was born to parents James Ireland and Ellen Arbon (3), which makes him the youngest sibling of the family detailed in Note 548.Jack’s mother’s Death Notice describes his family: “Deaths: Ireland. On Dec 11, at Crystal Brook, suddenly, Ellen Ireland, beloved mother of Jack and Lorna and loving grandma of Joylene and Collene. Resting where no shadows fall, in perfect peace she awaits us all”. Chronicle, Thursday 16 December 1948 p36 (4). So that’s what his children’s names on the headstone actually are. The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices tells us that Lorna May Ireland’s Funeral Notice was on 2005-03-01 (5). We still need to find their wedding notice to find Lorna’s maiden name. But try as I may, with nothing much on Trove and nothing on GenealogySA, nor even a general Google on Lorna May, I must admit defeat at this stage 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/ireland_jack_&_lorna.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=SXJlbGFuZA==&g=SmFjaw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SXJlbGFuZA==&g=SmFjaw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93211768?searchTerm=Jack%20Ireland%20Lorna&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices 5 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-I.html Clifford E Issell (“Chips”) died aged 66 on 1978-03-06 (1). The Clifford Issell search on GenealogySA only shows on South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery a Memorial Inscription recording that Clifford E (Chips) Issell was 66y when he died in 1978 (2). There are two mentions on Newspaper Death Notices for the 1978 Advertiser, both just recording Clifford Issell (3). That’s all on GenealogySA, no mention on the Birth Index etc. This may be explained by the fact he appears to have grown up in Victoria, as evidenced by this newspaper report: “Sleepers on line: Two youths remanded, bail fixed at £500 Melbourne: Today. Charged at the City Court today with having placed two sleepers and iron spikes on the railway line at Bacchus Marsh on January 6, Clifford Issell (aged 17 years) and Donald Trehearn (aged 16 years) were remanded to appear at Bacchus Marsh on Thursday, January 17. Trehearn is to appear at the Children's Court, and Issell at the Court of Petty Sessions. Senior Detective Bruce said that the Adelaide express had been endangered by the obstruction. When he arrested the youths yesterday, they admitted having placed the sleepers on the line. Bail of £500 was allowed in each case”. News (Adelaide), Wednesday 9 January 1929 p1 (4). His middle name appears in this follow-up: “Youth's low mentality: Excuse for grave crime. Melbourne, April 16. When Clifford Efford Issell (17), of South Melbourne, pleaded guilty before Judge Moule in the Court of General Sessions last week to a charge of having placed two wooden sleepers and six iron spikes on the railway line between Rowsley and Ingliston, his Honor, after hearing evidence of the low mentality of the accused, promised to consider a request that the youth be allowed out on bond. Issell came up for sentence to-day. His Honor said he would release the youth on a bond of £50 and a surety for £100 to be of good behavior for four years, and the father would require to furnish a report every three months to a probation officer”. The Advertiser, Wednesday 17 April 1929 p21 (p5). How and why he ended up in Gawler, and how he got his nickname, is beyond our mandate. However this ad in the Advertiser means he was in Adelaide at least some time before 1947: “Will not be responsible for any debts in my name on and after this date. 18/2/47. Clifford Efford Issell. Sherlock”. The Advertiser, Thursday 20 February 1947 p15 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/issell_clifford_e_%28chips%29.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SXNzZWxs&g=Q2xpZmZvcmQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=SXNzZWxs&g=Q2xpZmZvcmQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/129193565?searchTerm=Clifford%20Issell%20&searchLimits=

The William Jackson Marriage Index shows William Henry Jackson was married in 1925 to Evelyn Margaret Selleck in the Barossa District (2). The Evelyn Selleck Birth Index shows that Evelyn Margaret Selleck was born in 1901 to parents Charles Selleck and Florence Emily Boyley in Adelaide (3). There’s no death data for either Evelyn or William Henry on GenealogySA. “Selleck — Jackson. The marriage of Evelyn M, only daughter of Mr and Mrs Chas Selleck, 'Malee Grove,' Wasleys, to William H, third son of Mr and Mrs L Jackson, 'Fair View Farm', Millendella, will be celebrated at Toddstreet Methodist Church, Gawler, on March 18th, at 2 pm. Reception Foresters' Hall, Gawler”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 7 March 1925 p39 (4). The “All Jackson” Birth Index, looking for William Henry, born to father L Jackson – there’s only one. William Henry Jackson was born in 1895 to parents Lewis Jackson and Elizabeth Ann Mitchell in the Talunga District (5). According to the LDS site, William Henry Jackson was born 13 Jun 1895 Millendella SA to parents Lewis Jackson [b1851] and Elizabeth Ann Mitchell [born c1864], who were married 5 Nov 1884 Head of South Rhine SA (6). Again, the “All Jackson” Birth Index (5) with parents Lewis Jackson and Elizabeth Ann Mitchell shows they had at least 10 children: [1] James Lewis John Jackson b1886; [2] Louise May Jackson b1888; [3] Albert Edward Jackson b1889; [4] Sophia Ann Jackson b1891; [5] Percy George Jackson b1893; [6] William Henry Jackson b1895; [7] Stephen Robert Jackson Jackson b1897; [8] Edwin Leonard Jackson b1899; [9] Laurence Opie Jackson b1901; [10] Horace Clarence Jackson b1903 (5). The “All Jackson” Death Index shows James Lewis John Jackson died in 1969, Albert Edward Jackson died 1895, and in 1965 Percy George Jackson was still alive in 1965 when his wife Olive Blanche Jackson died (7). So in 1925 William Henry Jackson was the third [living] son, as Albert Edward died aged 6 years in 1895 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/jackson_william_henry_&_evelyn.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SmFja3Nvbg==&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=U2VsbGVjaw==&g=RXZlbHlu&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87511137?searchTerm=Selleck%20Jackson&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices|||ltitle=291|||fromyyyy=1925|||toyyyy=1925 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SmFja3Nvbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I287105&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SmFja3Nvbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Mary (Molly) MW Jacob’s 1912-2005, Ernest F Jacob’s 1908-1977; presumably were wife and husband. Molly was mother of Sylvia, grandmother to Barry, Mick and Sue (1). I’m not sure of the significance of the apostrophe in their surnames. Unfortunately there’s nothing much on Molly or Ernest on GenealogySA at least under those names, so despite all the Jacobs family history found in Notes 553 and 554, this branch remains elusive. An “All Jacobs” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery do not show a Mary, Molly, MW Jacobs, and although they do show an Ernest F Jacobs, there is no other information available (2). An “All Jacobs” Birth Index does not show anyone likely to be an “Ernest F Jacobs” born in 1908 (3). An “All Jacobs” Marriage Index doesn’t show a likely Ernest nor Earnest Jacobs marriage (4). An “All Jacobs” Death Index for 1977 and 2005 has no results (5). An “All Jacobs” search on Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser shows nothing relevant for the years 1977 and 2005 (6). The LDS and limited ToG sites don’t help, nor does general Trove and Gawler Now and Then. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/jacobs_mary_m_&_ernest_f.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SmFjb2Jz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SmFjb2Jz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SmFjb2Jz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=SmFjb2Jz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=SmFjb2Jz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Charles Jacobs was born 16 Mar 1830 in Clewer, Berkshire, England (4) and was a mason living in Gawler.

Charles Jacobs [b1830] was married on 19 Jan 1856 in Adelaide to Rachel Charlesworth (her father was Richard Charlesworth).

Walter Jacobs was born 11 Jan 1863 Gawler SA and died 22 Feb 1937 Willaston SA. He was married 8 July 1891 to Lavinia Job, who was born 8 Jul 1862 Sheaoak Log SA to parents William Job and Eliza Louise Long, and died 15 Oct 1942 Gawler. Their children included [1] Evelyn Carpenter nee Jacobs (Born Apr 26 1892, Died Apr 26 1978)(4); [2] Leslie Jacobs; [3] Percy K Jacobs; [4] Lillian Wade nee Jacobs (2). Percy Kingsley Jacobs was born 14 Aug 1897 in Gawler. His parents Walter Jacobs and Lavinia nee Job lived in Blanche St Gawler East. Percy was a carpenter and wheelwright before enlisting in 1916.

They were parents of Joan and Max (1). Leslie George Jacobs’ parents were Walter and Lavinia Jacobs, making him a brother of Percy who was killed in WWI - see Note 553. In fact an “All Jacobs” Birth Index search confirms Walter and Lavinia had 4 children [1] Eveline[sic] Bernice Jacobs b1892; [2] Leslie George Jacobs born 27 May 1895 and died 30 Nov 1979 (5); [3] Percy Kingsly[sic] Jacobs b1897; [4] Lillian Winifred Jacobs born 14 Oct 1901, died 16 July 1990 (5) (2). The Leslie Jacobs Marriage Index shows that Leslie George Jacobs was married in 1923 to Elsie Ina Bain (3). The Elsie Bain Birth Index confirms that Elsie Ina Bain was born in 1895 to parents Thomas William Bain and Emily Cundy in the Barossa District (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/jacobs_elsie_ina_&_leslie_george.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SmFjb2Jz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SmFjb2Jz&g=TGVzbGll&c=&y=&r=MA==

The “All James” search at South Australia Cemeteries indeed has a Bill James who died in 1944, and also a William James who died aged 69 in 1922 (2). There’s nothing else on GenealogySA for a Bill James. The Bunyip comes to the resue: “Obituary: Mr WW James. There were many expressions of surprised regret when it became known that Mr Walter Wilson (Bill) James, 41 years, a native-born of Gawler South, had collapsed and died in the Hutchinson hospital on Friday, of last week. A week previously the popular townsman was seen in the street, and he entered the institution suffering from quinsy. Complications followed, and despite all effort, Death garnered its harvest. Mr James was the second son of Mrs LM James of Gawler South. From school he entered accountancy yet kept up close association with sport. As a young man he was keenly interested in Scout work, and from a scout rose until he was in charge as Scoutmaster of Gawler South troop for many years. He was also the driving force of the Rover football club, and by his energies kept the boys together despite the handicap put upon them by being dropped from Association football in the latter years of the game just prior to the war. In fact, Mr James with his influence over the boys made this club the most virile and enthusiastic in the district; and with the falling off of the sport, he turned their attention to charitable effort, and the Rovers did wonderful work for the DBNS, as well as other charitable and patriotic organisations. Mr James also was instrumental in forming and maintaining physical culture clubs, and altogether was a respected and honored leader of the young life of the town. Taking his part in munitions work he kept his sports depot open by installing girls, and at the time of illness was engaged at the Penfield Works. Mr James was married, his wife being Jean Cunningham James, the well known ladies' hairdresser of Murray street. His mother resides at Gawler South and there are two brothers and three sisters. The remains were interred in the Willaston cemetry on Saturday afternoon”. Bunyip, Friday 3 November 1944 p2 (3).

The Arthur Cross Marriage Index shows that Arthur Cecil Cross was married in 1928 Dorothy Tapley Hall in the Hindmarsh District (2), and no record on GenealogySA marriage to a Thora Margaret Nottle. Of course this doesn’t mean such a wedding didn’t happen, it’s just not recoded on this Genealogy site. A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Thora Margaret Nottle was born on 2 Mar 1915 in Willaston to parents Thomas Leonard Nottle and Emma Ottilie Scholz (3). A search using Trove has found their marriage: “Nottle—Cross. The marriage of Thora M, only daughter of Mr and Mrs TL Nottle, of Salisbury, to Arthur Cecil, eldest son of Mrs J Cross and the late AE Cross, of Firle, will be solemnised at Pirie Street Methodist Church on Saturday, January 19, at 3.30 pm.” The Advertiser, Saturday 12 January 1946 p16 (4). Another article shows Arthur was divorced in 1944: “Divorce Orders: Arthur Cecil Cross, clerk, of Shelley street, Firle, against Dorothy Tapley Cross, of Grenfell street, Kent Town, on the grounds of ...... laborer, of Kensington terrace, Norwood. Mr Alderman for Cross.” News (Adelaide), Thursday 7 December 1944 p3 (5).

I am not sure why their ages are not recorded on the “J” page of Australian Cemeteries for Willaston (2). A Louisa James at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Louisa May James was 71 years old when she died in 1946, not 1941 as stated on the data page (3). A Thelma James at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms Thelma Flora James aged 55 years died in 1963 (4). “James.

The late Mr EA Jericho, a well-known identity of Willaston died suddenly at his home on August 29th. Mr Jericho was born at St Kitts, near Dutton, 79 years ago. He commenced farming on his own account at Brinkworth in the year 1893. Some years later he moved to Blyth where he continued in agricultural pursuits until his retirement at Willaston almost ten years ago. While at Blyth, he played a prominent part in civic affairs, acting as Councillor for the Blyth District Council for many years. As a member of the Blyth District Board he held several official positions. In his younger years he took a keen interest in rifle shooting and won many valuable trophies. In the year 1903 he marred Lydia Hentschke, who predeceased him in 1940. Throughout his life he was an active member of the Lutheran Church, and a regular attendant at the services. He leaves three sons, Norman (Hoyleton), Stan (Hart), Ray mond (Blyth), two daughters Mrs H Weckert (Yumali), Miss E Jericho (Willaston) and nine grandchildren.

The photo says it belongs to Rosina Allison Job, and I’ll have to take their word for it, as there’s no actual identification visible (2). John Job was born 7 Feb 1868 nr Sheoak Log SA, a younger brother of the Lavinia Job discussed in Note 553. His father William Job was born 1828, married 25 Aug 1851 Adelaide and died 11 Aug 1894 Sheaoak Log. His mother was Eliza Louise Long b1833. John Job died 14.7.1948 Torrensville SA and is buried Dudley Pk SA. He was a farmer, residing at Sheoak Log, then Torrensville. He was Lutheran. On 20 Aug 1901 in Adelaide, he married Auguste Elizabeth Hoffmann born 2 Jul 1880 Rowland Flats to parents Johann Gottlieb Friedrich Hoffmann (born 31 Oct 1848 Rowland Flats) and Johanne Marie Heidrich (born 5 Feb 1851 Langmeil, d1920). John and EA Job’s children included [1] Reginald William Job born 20 May 1902 Gawler River; [2] Clifton Gilbert Job born 3 Nov 1903 Port Gawler, died 1967; [3] Rosina Allison Job b1905, d1908; [4] John Kenneth Job b1908; [5] Samuel Hartley Job born 1910, died 1959; [6] Gwendoline Mary Rau nee Job born 1911, died 1977; [7] Colleen Esther Corey nee Job b1913; [8] Natalie Florence Coulls nee Job b1916.

No date unfortunately, but husband of Iris, father of Kyffin, Trevor, Wayne and Delma (1). Iris Mabel Johns also has a plaque which says she died aged 79 years, again with no date, wife of Keith and same children (2). The Ronald Johns search at Newspaper Death Notices shows an Advertiser Notice for Ronald Keith Johns in 1990 (3), which would make his year of birth c1915. The Iris Johns search at Newspaper Death Notices shows an Advertiser Notice for Iris Mabel Johns in 1997 (4), which would make her born c1918. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/johns_ronald_keith.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/johns_iris_mabel.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Sm9obnM=&g=Um9uYWxk&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Sm9obnM=&g=SXJpcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== Arthur William Johnson died, so did his wife Ellen Johnson, and their children Ellen Myra Johnson and Dorothy Winifred Johnson also died. No dates or ages. Also Mabel May Johnson died 14?th March ?196?8?6 (1). Searching Mabel Johnson at South Australia Cemeteries
for Willaston Cemetery reveals that Mabel May Johnson was aged 88 years when she died in 1966, which by my calculation means she was born c1878 (2). According to the LDS site, Arthur William Johnson was born in 1852. He was married 3 Dec 1873 at Sheaoak Log SA to Ellen Gray also born in 1852. Their children were [1] Ellen Mira Johnson born 27 May 1876 Gawler, and died 25 Sep 1898 Gawler; [2] Ada Alice Johnson born 17 Nov 1878 Gawler; [3] Mabel May Johnson born 16 Sep 1881 Willaston; [4] Florence Annie Johnson born 30 Jun 1884 Willaston; [5] Arthur Alexander Johnson born 14 Mar 1887 Willaston; [6] Alfred Edward Johnson born 19 May 1889 Willaston; [7] Albert Harold Johnson born 8 Apr 1892 Willaston; [8] Dorothy Winifred Johnson born 14 Nov 1896 Gawler, and died 24 Jun 1899 Gawler (3). There are several slight discrepancies with some dates [1] If Mabel May was 88 when she died in 1966, she cannot have been born in 1881. If she was b1881, she was only 85 when she died [2] The headstone says Albert Harold was born on the 18th April, the LDS site says 8th April. The Mabel May Johnson Birth Index confirms she was born in 1881 to parents Arthur William Johnson and Ellen Gray in the Barossa District (4), so she cannot have been 88 when she died. But these are minor points, when you are relying on memory and anecdotes sometimes when an elderly relative dies. We still need to find when the parents Arthur and Ellen died. The Arthur William Johnson Death Index tells us he died in Gawler in 1938 (5). The Ellen Johnson Death Index tells us she died in 1920, with her nominated relative her husband Arthur William Johnston[sic] in the Barossa District (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/hj/johnson_arthur_william,_ellen,_ellen_myra,_dorothy_winifred_&_mabel_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Sm9obnNvbg==&g=TWFiZWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I124708&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Sm9obnNvbg==&g=TWFiZWwgTWF5&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Sm9obnNvbg==&g=QXJ0aHVyIFdpbGxpYW0=&c=&y=&r=MA == 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Sm9obnNvbg==&g=RWxsZW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 567 Mabel CC Johnson died aged 76 years on 20 Dec 1964, her husband T Victor Johnson died aged 75 years on 5 Jan 1965 (1). Searching Mabel Johnson at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery we find the Burial Register has Mabel Coughron Clare Johnson, and the Memorial Inscription confirms that Mabel CC Johnson was 76 years old when she died in 1964 (2). The Mabel Johnson Death Index shows when Mabel Coughron Clare Johnson died in 1964 her nominated relative was her husband Thomas Victor Johnson of Gawler (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/johnson_mabel_c.c._&_t._victor.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Sm9obnNvbg==&g=TWFiZWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Sm9obnNvbg==&g=TWFiZWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 568 Elsie Isabel Johnston died 17 Apr 1968, her husband John Roland (Roly) Johnston died 26 May 1992, parents of Kay (1). The Elsie Isabel Johnston search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms she died in 1968 (2). The John Roland Johnston Marriage Index shows he married Elsie Isabel Oliver in Gawler in 1935 (3). The Elsie Oliver Birth Index shows that Elsie Isabel Oliver was born in 1907 to parents William Oliver and Margaret Jane Cowley in the Barossa District (4). Hard to find John Roland (Roly) Johnston’s birth details, and this engagement notice partly explains why “Oliver— Johnston. The engagement is announced of Elsie Isabel, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs W Oliver, 'Sunnyside,' Wasleys, to John Roland, eldest son of Mr and Mrs J Johnston, Ballarat, Victoria”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 10 March 1932 p35 (5). He was born in Victoria, and hence not on Genealogy SA. No luck finding birth details in the Victorian newspapers like the Argus. On a Google search, Mundia.com has a John Roland Johnston born 1905 Tambellup WA (6), but I’m not sure it is the same one, although the date seems possible. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/johnston_elsie_isabel_&_john_roland.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Sm9obnN0b24=&g=RWxzaWUgSXNhYmVs&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Sm9obnN0b24=&g=Sm9obiBSb2xhbmQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=T2xpdmVy&g=RWxzaWU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90911670?searchTerm=John%20Roland%20Johnston&searchLimits=lcategory=Family+Notices|||l-title=291 6 http://www.mundia.com/au/Person/3054134/-1781721588 569 Robert Deans Johnston died 22 Oct 1957, his wife Emily Gladys Johnston died 20 Jan 1977 (1). The Robert Johnston Birth Index shows Robert Deans Johnston was born in 1875 to parents Robert Johnston and Flora Deans in the Barossa District (2). The Robert Johnston Marriage Index shows that in 1924 Robert Deans Johnston married Emily Gladys Elphick in the Port Adelaide District (3). The Emily Elphick Birth Index shows that Emily Gladys Elphick was born in 1892 to parents Edward Elphick and Emily Abbott in Adelaide (4). The LDS site tells us that Robert Johnston was born 10 Sep 1824 Campbelltown, Argyll, Scotland, and died 15 Apr 1875 Drumore SA. Robert’s parents who were married on 14 Nov 1811 Campbelltown, Scotland were father William Johnston (died 27 Feb 1853 Adelaide) and mother Janet Love (born 6 Jun 1789 Campbelltown Scotland, died 20 May 1848 Oakbank SA). The family had arrived in 1838 on the Buckinghamshire. Robert’s occupations were farmer, horsebreeder, councillor. He resided Unley, Freeling and was a Presbyterian. He was married 1854 Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland to Flora Deans (father James Deans). Flora was born 1835 Paisley, died 17 Jan 1915 Fullarton SA. Robert and Flora’s children were [1] Alexander Love Johnston born 19 May 1858 Sheaoak Log SA, died 1944; [2] Agnes Johnston born 25 Dec 1860 Sheaoak Log, died 1946; [3] William James Johnston born 16 Jan 1864 Sheaoak Log, died 1955; [4] Janet Johnston born 1867, died 1955; [5] Flora Johnston born 5 Aug 1870 nr Freeling, died 1896; [6] Robert Deans Johnston born 12 Mar 1875 Freeling (5).

Sharing the Headstone is their daughter Hilsea Eva Priestley aged 85 died 9 Oct 1993, mother of Colin and Trevor (1). I’m not sure why the “J” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery gives Frederick W Jones the extra initial “G” – it may be correct but doesn’t appear on the headstone nor the photo label (2). The only Frederick W Jones who married a Hilda is Frederick William Jones who in 1907 in Adelaide married Hilda Eva Norman (3). Frederick Jones Birth Index shows the only likely Frederick William Jones to have married in 1907 was Frederick William Jones born 1879 to parents Horatio Thomas Jones and Annie Ah Chong in the Flinders District (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/jones_hilda_e_&_frederick_w..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonj_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Sm9uZXM=&g=RnJlZGVyaWNr&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Sm9uZXM=&g=RnJlZGVyaWNr&c=&y=&r=MA== 571 George Jones was born 3 May 1883 and died 3 Dec 1886, thus was 3 years and 7 months when he died.

I note that the “J” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Catherine Jones died in 1924 but it looks more like 1923 to me.

There are 2 entries on data page “J” for George Jones. I’ve described the first above, the second, for George Henry Jones has the same dates for birth and death as the George Jones entry.

On the 11th September, at his stepfather's residence, Fullarton, Henry Jones, the beloved husband of C Jones (of Freeling Hotel) aged 38 years. May his soul rest in peace”. South Australian Register, Friday 13 September 1889 p4 (4). This shows he couldn’t have died on the 14th as stated on the “J” page as his death was in the newspaper of the 13th. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/jones_henry_james,_catherine_&_george.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonj_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Sm9uZXM=&g=Q2F0aGVyaW5l&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/54590471?searchTerm=Henry%20Jones&searchLimits=fromyyyy=1889|||toyyyy=1889|||lcategory=Family+Notices|||l-title=41 572 Parnal Jones died aged 65 years on 6 April 1883, her husband John Jones died aged 86 years 17 June 1904, their children [1] Martha Jones who died aged 11 months 17 April 1841; [2] Newton Hull Jones who died aged 3 months 26 Aug 1857; [3] Newton Jones who was 3 months old when he died 15 Mar 1860 (1). Parnal’s age at death is stated to be 65 years on the headstone, but it isn’t recorded on the “J” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The Parnal Jones South Australia Ceeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms that Parnal was aged 65 years old when she died in 1883 (3). John Jones was born c1818 Little Bolton, Lancashire, England, his father James Jones. John Jones arrived 1848 overland from NSW. His occupation included wheelwright, blacksmith, mayor, resided in Gawler, and was Wesleyan. He died 17 Jun 1904 Gawler, and is buried Willaston SA. He was married 22 Feb 1849 SA to Parnell Pendlebury (b1817, from Bolton, Lancashire, and died 6 Apr 1883 Gawler). They apparently had about 10 children including [1] Thomas, about whom we can find nothing; [2] Mary Ann Wylie nee Jones born 1850, died 1874; [3] Eliza Pendlebury Dawkins nee Jones born 26 Mar 1851 SA, and died 1938; [4] Mercy Wilkinson nee Jones born 11 Sep 1853 Gawler, died 1896 [5] Selina Kate Jones born 26 Sep 1855 Gawler; [6] Newton Hull Jones born 20 Aug 1857 Gawler, died 28 Nov 1857; [7-10] ?? (4). An “All Jones” Birth Index search at GenealogySA of John Jones, Parnal/Pernal/Parnell Pendlebury only yielded 5 names, all with father John Jones [1] Eliza Pendlebury Jones b1851 to mother P Pendlebury; [2] Mercy Jones b 1853 to mother Pernal Pendlebury; [3] Selina Kate Jones b1855 to mother Parnell Pendlebury; [4] Newton Hull Jones b1857 to mother Parnell Pendlebury; [5] Newton Jones b1860 to mother Parnell Pendelbarry[sic] (5). On Friday morning Mr John Jones, an old and much-respected identity of Gawler, died at his residence in the northern town at the age of 86 years. Mr Jones will be remembered for the keen interest he took in the welfare of the town and the district for many years. In municipal, political, and church work he took an active concern. The deceased gentleman was born in Lancashire, England, in 1818, and arrived in Adelaide in 1845. When he left Liverpool with his parents for the colonies he intended to come direct to Adelaide, but as a result of a mistake on the part of the agents, the travellers were taken to Sydney, and they remained in New South Wales for seven years. He travelled overland from Sydney to Adelaide by means of a horse team, and the journey occupied about 10 weeks. Mr Jones arrived in Gawler 56 years ago. He first worked for the the Hon J Martin, and subsequently started in business for himself as wheelwright and blacksmith, and was very successful. He entered the municipal council in 1867, and, after serving a number of years, was elected Mayor. This position he held for several years. He was active in church work, and was the first to start Methodism in Gawler. He rendered good service as a local preacher, and, notwithstanding that a long tramp was often necessary in order to conduct service, he was always at his post. He was a justice of the peace for 50 years. He was the means of establishing the first Wesleyan Church at Wilberforce, New South Wales, and was also instrumental in the erection of the present Wesleyan edifice at Gawler. His wife predeceased him 21 years ago. There survive one son, four daughters, 35 grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren.

On a matching plaque, Beryl J Jungfer died aged 93 years on 30 Nev 2003 (2). An Edgar Jungfer search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Edgar Bernhardt Jungfer was 91 years old when he died (3). The Edgar Jungfer Birth Index confirms Edgar Bernhardt Jungfer was born in 1903, to parents Carl Heinrich Jungfer and Clara Laura Doretta Magen in the Angaston District (4). The Edgar Jungfer Marriage Index shows Edgar Bernhardt Jungfer was married in 1930 to Beryl Joyce Barber in the Barossa District (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/jungfer_edgar_b.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/jungfer_beryl_j.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SnVuZ2Zlcg==&g=RWRnYXI=&c=&y=&r=MA==

It concerns Susan Adams Jury, wife of William Jury who died aged 22 years on 28 Feb 18?56?0? (1). Although I cannot clearly read the year, it seems more likely she died on the 28th Feb, rather than the 25th noted on the “J” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The Susan Jury search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery notes a Memorial Inscription for Susan Adams Jury who was only 22 years old when she died in 1856 (3). By way of cross-referencing, a list of burials at the old Gawler Cemetery [Pioneer Park] shows on Panel 7 under “Other Denominations” for 1856 is Susan Adams Jury aged 22 (4). The LDS site has much information about the Jury family. William Jury was born 17 Jul 1831 East Farleigh, Kent, England, and died 12 Oct 1923, and is buried at Mallala. His father was Edward Jury b 1808, and died 16 Mar 1893 Plympton SA. His mother was Eliza Hayward b1811, and died 4 Mar 1866 Plympton. The family arrived in SA 1840 on the Branken Moor. William’s occupation was a farmer, and resided in Plympton, then Mallala. William’s first marriage was 2 Nov 1854 in Gawler to Susan Adams Pederick b1833 Dev Eng (to parents William Pederick and Mary Ann Adams), and she died 28 Feb 1856. William and Susan had a child: [1] William Edward Pedrick Jury born 6 Feb 1856 Peachy Belt SA, who died in 1942. After Susan’s death, William remarried 11 Aug 1858 in Adelaide to Mary Webster Wilkinson (father William Wilkinson) b1837, and she died 19 Feb 1880 Athelstone SA. Their children included [1] Henry L Jury born 3 Sep 1859 Plympton, died 1944; [2] Eliza Ann Whitbread nee Jury born 11 May 1861 Grace Plains SA, died 1948; [3] Martha Ashton Lindsay nee Jury born 21 Dec 1862 Plympton, died 1929; [4] Mary Jane Jury born 1 Dec 1864 Grace Plains; [5] Elizabeth Jury born 22 Jul 1866 Grace Plains; [6] John Jury born 21 Aug 1868 Grace Plains, died 25 Feb 1870 Grace Plains; [7] Louisa Jury born 27 Aug 1870 Grace Plains; [8] James Jury born 7 Jul 1872 Grace Plains; [9] Sarah Anne Jury born 5 May 1874 Grace Plains, died 15 Mar 1875 Plympton; [10] Thomas Jury born 4 Feb 1876 Grace Plains, died 1968; [11] Alice Jury born 13 Sep 1878 Mallala, died 15 Jan 1896 Mallala (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/jury_susan_adams.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonj_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=SnVyeQ==&g=U3VzYW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://headstones.weebly.com/gawler-old-pioneer-park.html 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I28847&tree=SouthAustralia 575 Lily Lorraine Kairns died 4 Sept 20?0?7? “our butterfly” (1). An “All Kairns” search at Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser shows there were 3 notices for Lily Lorraine Kairns in 2007 (2). The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices has the funeral notice for Lily Lorraine Kairns on 2007-10-10 (3). This makes me doubt that Lily died on the 4th Sept, to have the funeral 5 weeks later. There is no Kairns on the South Australia Cemeteries, Birth Index, Marriage Index sites, and the “All Kairns” Death Index only has a James Kairns who died in the Clare District in 1882 (4). So I have reached a dead-end at this stage 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kairns_lilly_lorraine.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=S2Fpcm5z&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-K.html 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=S2Fpcm5z&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 576 M Kalka and F Kalka ?aged 74 were parents of Max Kalka who was born 18 Nov 1912 and died 24 Oct 1977. The rest I cannot read, but seems to have dates and ages (1). The Max Kalka Marriage Index shows that Max Robert Ernest Kalka married Flora Reynolds 1898 in Adelaide (2). The Max Kalka Death Index states that Max Robert Ernest Kalka died 1940 in Gawler (3). A search of Max Kalka at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery have, on the Burial Register, Max Robert Ernest Kalko[sic] (4). The “All Kalka” Birth Index shows that Max Robert Ernest Kalka and Flora Reynolds had 2 children [1] Pretoria Baden-Powell Mafeking Kalka b1900; [2] Horace Max Kalka b1911 (5). The “All Kalka” Death Index has 3 entries [1] Baden Powell Pretoria Mafeking Kalka died 1910, with nominated relative his father Max Kalka; [2] Max Robert Ernest Kalka died 1940 in Gawler; [3] Flora Kalka died in Gawler 1942, with nominated relative her deceased husband Max Kalka (6). The “All Kalka” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has 3 Kalka names on the Burial Register Baden-Powell PM Kalka, Flora Kalka and Max Robert Ernest Kalko[sic] (7). Baden Kalka: “Drowned while bathing. Gawler, December 4. A drowning case occurred yesterday afternoon in the North Para. The victim was Baden Powell Kalka, only child of Max Kalka. The boy apparently entered the river alone to bathe. Late last night the police found his clothes on a log, and this morning after two hours' dragging, the body was found. Mr E Potter did not deem an inquest necessary”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 10 December 1910 p41 (8). “Deaths. Kalka. On 3rd December, through a drowning accident, Baden, only darling and loved son of Max and Florrie Kalka, aged 10 years and 5 months. Safe in the arms of Jesus”. Bunyip, Friday 9 December 1910 p2 (9). Baden Powell PM Kalka aged 10 years from Gawler was buried 5/12/1910 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 54 I 1, with Rev J Ford officiating (10). Max Robert Ernest Kalka aged 72 years from Gawler was buried 25/12/1940 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 8 G 4, with Rev Bond officiating (11). Flora Kalka aged 74 years from Gawler was buried 9/07/1942 Willaston Cemetery Pre-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 8 G 4, with Rev Burden officiating (12). “Dies suddenly: Mrs Flora Kalka, of Gawler East, aged 74 years, was found dead near a fireplace in her home on Wednesday morning. It had been Mrs Kalka's habit to regularly call on her neighbour, Mrs W Thomson, and on Wednesday, when Mrs Kalka did not appear, Mrs Thomson went to see if she was feeling well, and noticed the door closed and blind down. Mrs Thomson, with help, entered a window and there discovered the deceased collapsed before the fireplace. It is thought that Mrs Kalka was standing on a box winding the clock when she had a heart attack. Her husband predeceased her. There is one son, Pte Max Kalka”. Bunyip, Friday 10 July 1942 p4 (13). On the WWII Nominal Roll, the Service Record for Horace Max Kalka has his Date of Birth 18 Nov 1912 in Gawler. He enlisted Australian Army at Warradale, SA 24 Aug 1942 and was discharged as a private on 8 Jun 1948. His next of kin was given as Gildind, Avis (14). This would confirm his birth in 1912, not 1911 as on GenealogySA records. The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeeral Notices has Horace Max Kalka’s notice on 1977-10-25 (15). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kalka_m,_f_&_max.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=S2Fsa2E=&g=TWF4&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=S2Fsa2E=&g=TWF4&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=S2Fsa2E=&g=TWF4&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=S2Fsa2E=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=S2Fsa2E=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=S2Fsa2E=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/89746061?searchTerm=Max%20Kalka&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97727205?searchTerm=Max%20Kalka&searchLimits= 10 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31863

This makes his year of birth c1857. A search for John Keane at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows the Burial Register has John Richard Keane and the Memorial Inscription confirms John R Keane died aged 78y in 1935 (2). The LDS site has some records of the family of John Richard Keane. He married Mary Jullia Roediger and had at least 10 children [1] Henry John Keane born 5 May 1886 Gawler River; [2] Archibald Charles Keane born 25 Jul 1888 Gawler River; [3] Margaret Alice Keane born 28 Jan 1890 Gawler River; [4] Lily Emma Keane born 7 Apr 1892 Gawler River; [5] John Leonard Keane born 15 Jan 1894 Gawler River; [6] Leslie Percy Keane born 4 Jul 1896 Gawler River; [7] Bruce Gordon Clarence Keane born 13 Nov 1897 Kangaroo Flat; [8] Frank Walter Keane born 21 Oct 1899 nr Willaston; [9] Gladys Doretta Keane born 25 Jul 190, nr Willaston; [10,11] maybe at least two more (3).

A separate headstone of the Keith family also marks A Keith’s death with the same age and date as on the military one. Lillian May Keith died aged 54 years on 29 Oct 1958, wife of Alfred Keith, and mother of Shirley, Beryl, Maris, Fay, Max and Pam. Also mentioned is Alfred Keith who died aged 78 years on the 26 Aug 1963 (2).

Searching Colin Kennedy at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery tells us Colin Kennedy was aged 65y when he died in 1985 (4), meaning he was born c1920. The Colin Kennedy Birth Index shows he was born in 1920 in the Barossa District to parents Hugh Kennedy and Jessie Florence Buttfield (5). Our Colin Kennedy isn’t on the Marriage Index, so we need to confirm Barbara Edith’s year of birth another way. According to the WWII Military Nominal Roll, Colin Kennedy was born 21 Jan 1920 (6). His next of kin for his 1936-1945 RAN service was Hugh Kennedy (his father). Presumably he was not married before this. Roberts— Kennedy.

That’s what it says on the “K” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (1). On this headstone, Mark A Kennewell was aged 70 years when he died 14 May 1931; Dinah A Kennewell was 82 years old when she died 26 May 1949 (2). That means Mark A was born c1861 [not c1221]; and Dinah A would have been born c1867. According to the LDS site, Mark Albert Kennewell was born 24 Jun 1860 at Pine Creek [or at Auburn] SA, and died 14 May 1931 in Gawler.

Fred’s mother was Caroline Bacon b1830. Frederick Walter Kerley was married 9 Apr 1906 in Snowtown SA to Annie Edith Michael born 14 Feb 1877 Barunga SA (2). WJM (Jack) Kerley died aged 73 on 16 Dec 1980, his wife Gwen Mary Kerley died aged 64 on 11 July 1986. Gwen Mary was also the wife of Pat Tomney, and mother of Michael, Margaret, Robert, Janet and Trevor (3). The “W Kerley” Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser in 1980 have 2 notices for Walter John (Jack) Kerley (4). There is nothing at all on GenealogySA for Gwen Kerley, but there is a Gwen Tomney at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery that says on her Memorial Inscription that Gwen Tomney aged 64y died in 1986 (5). So although she is on the Kerley headstone, her surname when she died was Tomney. The only relevant “W Kerley” on this Marriage Index is Walter John Kerley who in 1935 married Nellie Jemime Judd in Adelaide (6). The “All Kerley” Birth Index shows Walter John and Gwen had no children (al least not recorded at GenealogySA, and Walter John and Nellie didn’t either (7). A Pat Tomney Newspaper Death Notices search shows that in the Advertiser Notices, Patrick Michael Tomney died in 1991 (8). An ‘All Tomney” Birth Index for children of Patrick Michael and Gwen yielded no children either (9). So with whom did Gwen Mary Kerley/Tomney have those children on the headstone? We cannot find her maiden name, and they may have all been born interstate, or just not officially recorded, I really cannot say, despite my modest searching on Trove etc 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kerley_annie_edith.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I55059&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kerley_w.j.m._&_gwen_mary.jpg 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=S2VybGV5&g=Vw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=VG9tbmV5&g=R3dlbg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=S2VybGV5&g=Vw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=S2VybGV5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=VG9tbmV5&g=UGF0&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=VG9tbmV5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Bruce F Kerr died aged 46 years died 24 Sept 1941; his wife Mary Emma (Marie) Kerr died in her 100th year {ie aged 99} on 14 April 1994 (1), making Bruce F born c1895, and the same for Mary Emma. The Bruce Kerr search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery names him on the Burial Register as Bruce Fotheringham Kerr and on the Memorial Inscription Bruce F Kerr aged 40 {not 46} years, died in 1941 (2), which would have made him born c1901. But the Bruce Kerr Birth Index agrees with the headstone as it has Bruce Fotheringham Kerr born in 1895 to parents David Kerr and Margaret Isabella Latter in the Barossa District (3), see Note 585. The Bruce Kerr Marriage Index shows that Bruce Fotheringham Kerr was married in Adelaide in 1918 to Mary Melville (4). Kerr—Melville. The engagement is announced of Miss Marie Melville, elder daughter of Mrs C Callaghan, Parkside, and Lce-Cpl Bruce F Kerr, Quindoo Park, Roseworthy. The Mail (Adelaide), Saturday 29 September 1917 p10 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kerr_bruce_f_&_mary_emma_%28marie%29.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=S2Vycg==&g=QnJ1Y2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=S2Vycg==&g=QnJ1Y2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=S2Vycg==&g=QnJ1Y2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/64043683?searchTerm=Kerr%20Quindoo%20Park&searchLimits= David Kerr died aged 71 years 8 Sep 1913, of Quindoo Park (1). The LDS site says David Kerr was born in 1841, his father being a John Kerr. David died 8 Sep 1913 in Gawler. David Kerr was married 23 Sep 1877 in Gawler to Margaret Isabella Latter b1858, thir children included [1] Ellen or Helen Kerr born 12 Nov 1878 nr Roseworthy; [2] David Dawson Kerr born 1 Apr 1884 Roseworthy; [3] John Allen Kerr born 31 Jul 1887 Roseworthy; [4] Bruce Fotheringham Kerr born 28 Feb 1895 Roseworthy [see Note 584] (2). Margaret Isabel Kerr died 21 June 1946, aged ?88 years. David Dawson Kerr died aged 32 years, on 16 March 1916? (3). This military headstone is for Private JA Kerr died 31 Jan 1918 (4) Private John Allen Kerr AIF who died aged 30 years on 31 Jan 1918 (5) is clearly the same person so I’ll reduce the 2 entries to one line, with a note that there are 2 headstones. Searching Margaret Kerr at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms Margaret Isabel Kerr was 88 years old when she died in 1946 (6). The David Kerr search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms that David Davidson[sic] Kerr died aged 32 years in 1916 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kerr_david.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I122175&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kerr_david_dawson_&margaret_isabel.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kerr_j.a..jpg 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kerr_john_allen.jpg 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=S2Vycg==&g=TWFyZ2FyZXQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=S2Vycg==&g=RGF2aWQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== Michaela Paige Kersten was born 21 April 1997, daughter of Kylie and Ralph, sister of Stephanie (1). Unfortunately the Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices does not show a funeral for Michaela Paige Kersten (2). There is a birth notice in 1997 for Michaela Kersten Advertiser, Michaela Paige Kersten [other parent’s surname was Barltrop] was born to parents Ralph & Kylie (3). The Stephanie Kersten Newspaper Birth Notices search says that Stephanie Kayla Kersten was born 1994 to parents Ralph & Kylie (4). Michaela Page Kersten is noted at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery’s Burial Register but no furthur information is available, which is not really surprising as it is all very recent in Genealogical terms (5).

It concerns Emily Louisa King, daughter of ?? and Martha King, died Jan 18?3 aged ?? weeks. Also Martha ?? who died ?1840 aged 8 weeks (1). By searching the names listed on the pdf file of those buried in Pioneer Park, under “Other Denominations” on Panel 7, we find Emily Louisa King who died in 1838 aged 6 weeks, and Martha King who died in 1846 aged 3 weeks (2). An “All King” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms Emily Louise King died aged 6w in 1838 and Martha King died aged 8w in 1846 (3). The “All King” Death Index shows that Martha King died in 1846; her nominated relative was her father Stephen King (4). There is no Death Index for Emily Louisa, which is not surprising in 1838. The Martha King Birth Index confirms her birth in 1846, to parents Stephen King and Martha Robinson (5), but there is no Birth Index for Emily, although as they share a headstone, they probably shared parents as well. “Gawler's Second Pioneer: Stephen King of Kingsford. In Pioneer Place (Gawler's old cemetery) there is a sandstone monument recording the death of three daughters of Stephen King, Gawler's second pioneer. The first name recorded undoubtedly has no connection with Australia, for death took place on January 15, 1838; and Stephen King did not reach South Australia until January 16, 1839. Peculiarly, he died on the same day 43 years later. Two other recordings on the stone tell the story of the hardships of the pioneer, as a second daughter, Martha, was wafted hence on May 17, 1840; and the third daughter on March 12, 1851. ....

And father of Adrian and Ian (1). The Murray King search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery’s Burial Register shows Murray Walter King died aged 47y in 1965 (2). The Murray King Birth Index shows he was born in 1916 to parents Thomas Walter King and Gertrude Maria Ossig in the Barossa District (3), although that doesn’t seem correct if he was 47 when he died in 1965, maybe c1917 or 1918 would have been OK. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/king_murray_w.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=S2luZw==&g=TXVycmF5&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=S2luZw==&g=TXVycmF5&c=&y=&r=MA== Douglas T Kings has a white wooden cross with his name but no more information on this photo (1), so I’m not sure from where the date of death 1944-09-19 comes on the the “K” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The Douglas Kings at Newspaper Death Notices has a Douglas (Doug) Kings in 1975; and a Douglas Tamplin (Doug) Kings in the Advertiser in 1977 (3). There’s nothing more about a Douglas Kings on GenealogySA. And the Savill Index has a Doulas[sic] Tamplin Kings’ Funeral Notice on 1974-03-18, so maybe the 1975 and 1977 Advertiser Notices are “In Memoriam” (4). The “All Kings” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has no one by that name on GenealogySA for Willaston. The only surname Kings are buried in Tintinara Cemetery (5). Proof of existence of Douglas Tamplin Kings in Adelaide in 1937: “The Prudential Assurance Co Ltd of England intends to issue a Special Policy in lieu of Policy No A 1011318 on life of Douglas Tamplin Kings, declared to have been destroyed. Adelaide, 18th Jan 1937. MG Cooke, Manager for SA”. The Advertiser, Tuesday 19 January 1937 p2 (6). Adelaide Mary Kings petitioned for a divoree from Stephen Tamplin Kings, on the ground of misconduct. The parties were married at Adelaide on February 11, 1907. They lived at Adelaide, Kent Town, Mile-End, and North Adelaide. There were three children. Mr J McGee appeared for the peititioner, who was granted a decree nisi, with the custody of the children. The Register (Adelaide), Wednesday 7 November 1923 p3 (7). The “All Kings” Birth Index has only 3 names, and all are children of parents Stephen Tamplin Kings and Adelaide Mary McLean noted above [1] Stephen Thomas Kings b1907; [2] Archibald Ainsley Donald Kings b1910; [3] Thora Elma Gwladys Kings b1913 (8). Stephen Thomas Kings b1907 died in 1928 in Adelaide, but there’s no record of his burial place (9). Stephen Tamplin Kings died in 1956 in the Robe District (9), and is buried Tintinara Cemetery (5); He had been married twice, firstly to Adelaide Mary McLean in 1907, then after his divorce he was married in 1925 to Ella Florence Darwin (10). Ella Florence Kings died in 1970 in Adelaide, her nominated relative was her predeceased husband Stephen Tamplin Kings (9). After her divorce, Adelaide Mary Kings nee McLean was married to Thomas Henry Hindmarsh in 1925 (10). Archibald Ainsley Donald Kings b1910 was married in 1937 to Hazel Elizabeth Kutcher, who died in 1987 (11), and is buried Tintinara Cemetery (5). Ainslie A Donald (Sky) Kings died in 2001 (11) and also is buried Tintinara Cemetery (5). The 3rd child of Stephen Tamplin and Adelaide Mary Kings was Thora Elma Gwladys Kings b1913 (8). In 1930 she married Antonio Ugo Pozza in Adelaide (10). This is all the information I have on the Tamplin Kings, leaving just Doug Kings who died in 1975, with In Memoriam Notices in 1976, 1977 and 1978 in the Advertiser (11). We still know nothing about the date in 1944, or even how old he was in 1974. After moving on to the next headstone, I realized that the 1944 date should not been entered for Kings at all, but on the line below for Kingwell 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kings_douglas.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonk_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=S2luZ3M=&g=RG91Z2xhcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-K.html 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=S2luZ3M=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47778189?searchTerm=Douglas%20Tamplin%20Kings&searchLimits=l-title=44 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/65057583?searchTerm=Tamplin%20Kings&searchLimits= 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=S2luZ3M=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=S2luZ3M=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=S2luZ3M=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 11 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=S2luZ3M=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== This headstone is for the Infant Daughter of S and L Kingwell, 19 Sept 1944 (1). I note that this date has been incorrectly given to the ‘Kings’ line above on the “K” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). An “All Kingwell” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms an Unnamed Kingwell burial in 1944 (3). On the Town of Gawler’s Burial Register, the stillborn child of Lorna VD Kingwell from Gawler was buried 19/09/1944 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 51 H 4 (4).

Her grandson John Kirby died aged 16 months. Also Ellen Kirby (mother of Catherine Kirby and Ellen Kelly) aged 67 years died 19 Feb 1913 (1). Here is Mrs Ellen Burns’ Death Notice: “Burns. On the 16th April, at Gawler, at the residence of her daughter (Mrs P Kirby), Ellen, relict of the late Edmond Burns, County Limerick, Ireland, aged 85 years. A colonist of 33 years. RIP”. South Australian Chronicle, Saturday 23 April 1892 p4 (2). So Ellen Burns came to SA c1859 and ?her daughter [?Mrs P] Ellen Kirby who was born c1846 occurred before their SA arrival. According to Gawler Council, Ellen Kirby aged 67 from Gawler was buried 21/02/1913 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 32 A 3, with Father O'Neill officiating (3). Also according to Gawler Council, a John Kirby aged 13 months from Gawler was buried 10/5/1872 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 26 G 3 (4). But this means Ellen Kirby wasn’t buried with her predeceased son, and it says he was 13 months old, not the 16 months stated on the headstone. There is a discrepancy of 3 months in age between the headstone’s 16 months and the Gawler Council Willaston Cemetery’s Burial Register saying 13 months, so it may not be the correct John Kirby, although mother would be an appropriate 26 years old if it were. Ellen Burns aged 85 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 18/4/1892 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 20 P 3, with Rev Father Carr officiating (5). This means another separate plot, whether that is of any significance. On the P Kirby Marriage Index, there is a 1865 marriage in Adelaide between a Patrick Kerby[sic] and an Ellen Byrns[sic] (6). But here I must rest my case without a definite link between the three folk buried here 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kirby_john_&_ellen.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/91548578?searchTerm=Ellen%20Burns%20Gawler&searchLimits=l-title=290 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32012 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29310 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30692 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=S2lyYnk=&g=UA==&c=&y=&r=MA== Michael Kirby aged 82 years died on 20 Dec 1926; his wife Bridget Kirby died at Evanston aged 75 years on 18 Sept 1934 (1). Bridget and Michael’s Marriage: “Kirby-Hourigan. On the 10th January, at SS Peter and Paul's, Gawler, by the Rev Prior Kelly, assisted by Rev Father Duyer, Michael Kirby, to Bridget Hourigan. Both of Gawler”. Bunyip, Friday 6 February 1891 p2 (2). A Bridget Kirby search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription saying Bridget Kirby was aged 75y when she died in 1934 (3). So far, so good. However, the Bridget Kirby Death Index says she died in 1932 [not 1934], her nominated relative being her deceased husband Michael Kirby (4). Although her Memorial Inscription says 1934, maybe they just copied the headstone, the Gawler Council Willaston Cemetery Burial Register says: “Bridget Kirby aged 74 years, who last resided at Gawler South was buried 24/08/1932 Plot/Grave/Niche 9 P 3, with the Rev Father O’Sullivan officiating” (5). So we have two conflicting dates, each with a confirmatory source. Let the newspaper notices decide. “Kirby. On the 24th of August, at her residence, Evanston, near Gawler, Bridget, relict of Michael Kirby. Aged 74 years. RIP”. The Advertiser, Thursday 25 August 1932 p8 (6). So she died in 1932, and the headstone is incorrect about her age [really 74 years] and her date of death. I guess we cannot change the headstone, but it’s good to know. Michael Kirby’s Death: “On the 20th December, at his late residence, Evanston, Gawler, Michael, the beloved husband of Bridget Kirby, and devoted uncle of Miss K Kirby and Mrs EH Kelly, of the Grange. Aged 82 years. A colonist of 70 years. RIP”. Bunyip, Friday 7 January 1927 p5 (7). At least the Burial Register agrees this time: “Michael Kirby aged 82 who last resided at Evanston was buried 21/12/1926 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 9 P 3, with Rev M Maher officiating” (8). Bridget joined Michael less than 6 years later 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kirby_michael_&_bridget.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97234297?searchTerm=Bridget%20Kirby%20Michael&searchLimits= 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=S2lyYnk=&g=QnJpZGdldA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=S2lyYnk=&g=QnJpZGdldA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32674 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/34696963?searchTerm=Bridget%20Kirby%20Michael&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96673022?searchTerm=Bridget%20Kirby%20Michael&searchLimits= 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31176 Baby Troy Koek has just one date of 11 Jul 2002 on his poignant headstone, son of John and Lynne, brother of Jessica and Tiffany (1). Is the date birth, death, or both? I cannot find any mention on GenealogySA, which make me mindful of a stillbirth, especially called “Baby” Troy. There’s no mention of “Troy” or “Baby” Koek on the Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices, and it’s too recent for Trove etc. It’s also too recent for my methods of reading some of the Willaston Cemetery Burial Register indirectly as it is. So I really haven’t enough information to fill in the empty columns at this stage 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/koek_baby_troy.jpg Margaret Lilian Koerner died 25 May 1993; wife of Brian Koerner, mother of Jacqueline and Michelle, mother-in-law of Robert, grandmother of Mark, Paul and Kate (1). Brian Koerner, husband of Margaret etc died aged 50 years on 7 Feb 1975 (2). The Margaret Koerner search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Margaret Koerner aged 70 years on the Burial Register, and on her Memorial Inscription is Margaret Lillian Koerner who died in 1993 (3). The Brian Koerner Birth Index shows his birth in 1924 to parents Frederick George Koerner and Clara Etty Maud Mugford in the Norwood District (4). There’s no Brian Koerner on the Marriage Index so I’ll try to find Margaret’s maiden name another way. “Cole— Koerner.

Kossowski[sic] in the Advertiser notices in 1994 and 3 notices for Tadeusz (Ted) Kosowski in 2007 (2). An “All Kosowski” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery have a Michael John Kosowski on the Burial Register, but no details given, and Memorial Inscriptions for Waclaw Kosowski in 1965 and Anna Kosowski in 1982 (3). There are no Kosowskis on the Birth Index (4). An “All Kosowski” Death Index search shows 3 deaths [1] Waclaw Kosowski died in 1965, with nominated relative A Kosowski [Son] in Gawler; [2] Waclaw Kosowski died in 1969, with nominated relative wife Marianna Kosowski in the Port Adelaide District; [3] Marianna Kosowski died in 1972, the nominated relative her deceased husband Waclaw Kosowski (5). There are no Kosowskis on the Marriage Index, giving the impression the families arrived here at a later time (6). A more comprehensive “All Kosowski” search at Newspaper Death Notices revealed [1] Anna Kosowski died 1992; [2] Tadeusz Kossowski[sic] in 1994; [3] Albin Kosowski 2001; [4] Kazimierz Kosowski 2002; [5] Tadeusz (Ted) Kosowski in 2007 (7).

The last mentioned gives me confidence that the Tadeusz here died on the 20th Oct 2007 (8), but there’s no confirmation on his year of birth, although I suspect it was in 1930. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kosowski_tadeusz.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=S29zb3dza2k=&g=VGFkZXVzeg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=S29zb3dza2k=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=S29zb3dza2k=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=S29zb3dza2k=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=S29zb3dza2k=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=S29zb3dza2k=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-K.html Frank Kozyra has a rough-hewn wooden cross with his name on it (1).

The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral notices has Frank Kozyra’s on 1998-05-09 (3). There is no other mention of Frank Kozyra on GenealogySA (4), and the only mention on a Trove search is in The Advertiser, Tuesday 30 September 1952 p4: “Plympton: Before Messrs WI White and HH Hartles.

Crashed into Fence: While the defendant was being called on to stop, he rode his bicycle between two cars in heavy traffic at the Marion road tram crossing, Plympton, and the machine mounted the footpath and crashed into a paling fence, said MTC JA Sykes in evidence yesterday. .... ” (5). Assuming that this lack of data regarding his background on GenealogySA is because he came from elsewhere, thenit is most likely it’s the same Frank Kozyra who was aged 23 years in 1952, ie he was born c1929, making him 69 years old when he died in 1998 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kozyra_frank.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=S296eXJh&g=RnJhbms=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-K.html 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=S296eXJh&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47424777?searchTerm=Kozyra&searchLimits= Carl R Leslie Kramer died aged 38 years on 12 Dec 1950; ?wife Adeline Sophia Kramer died aged 54 on 18 Feb 1967; Barbara Joy Kramer was 8 days old when she died 24 Nov 1947 (1).

A Theodor Krieg search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Theodor Edward Krieg on the Burial Register and on the Memorial Inscription Theodor E Krieg aged 79y died in 1952 (2). On the Theodor Krieg Birth Index, Theodor Edward Krieg was born in 1873 to parents John Edward Krieg and Julianna Noske (3). The Caroline Koch Birth Index shows Caroline Hulda Koch was born in 1874 to parents Johann Gottlieb Koch and Johanna Caroline Schulz (4).

The Bernhard Krieg search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms that the Memorial Inscription Bernhard R Krieg died in 1968 aged 65y (2). But that’s all the information on Bernhard Krieg at Genealogy, so maybe it was really R Bernhard Krieg? The “R Krieg” search didn’t help, but a search of Bernard Krieg showed a Death Index for Bernard Rudolph Krieg who died in Adelaide in 1968 (3). If Bernhard died aged 65 in 1968, he would have been born c1903. The “B Krieg” Birth Index shows Berhard[sic] Rudolf[sic] Krieg born 1902 to parents Gotthelf Ferdinand Krieg and Ida Emma Helena Aberhard (4). The Clama Krieg Birth Index shows that Clama Clarence Krieg was born in 1910 to parents Gotthilf Ferdinand Krieg and Ida Emma Helene Eberhard (5), so Bernhard /Bernard / Berhard and Clama were brothers. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/krieg_bernhard_r_&_clama_clarence.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=S3JpZWc=&g=QmVybmhhcmQ=&c=&y=&r=MA==

This makes her year of birth c1885. The Paul Krieg Marriage Index shows Paul Heinrich Krieg was married in 1902 to Clara Helena Linke (4). The Clara Linke Birth Index shows that Clara Helene Krieg was born in 1885 to parents August Herrmann Linke and Henriette Christiane Maria Schiller (5), confirming my calculation 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/krieg_paul_heinrich_&_clara_helene.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonk_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=S3JpZWc=&g=Q2xhcmE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=S3JpZWc=&g=UGF1bA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGlua2U=&g=Q2xhcmE=&c=&y=&r=MA== EH Krieg has a military headstone, saying that he died aged 94 years in 2003 (1), making his year of birth c1909.

The Heinrich Kumnick search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery’s Burial Register names him Heinrich Frederick Philip Kumnick and the Memorial Inscription agrees that Heinrich Kumnick died in 1941 (2). The Heinrich Kumnick Marriage Index shows that Heinrich Friedrich Phillip Kumnick was married in 1898 to Maria Elisabeth Ey from the Nairne District (3). The Maria Ey Birth Index shows that Maria Elisabeth Ey was born in 1876 to parents Rudolph Ey and Anna Oster in the Kapunda District (4). Heinrich: “Kumnick. On the 9th of June, at Fullarton, Heinrich FP Kumnick, of Cowan street Gawler, and formerly of Roseworthy, beloved husband of the late Marie Elizabeth Kumnick aged 73 years”.

The Advertiser, Tuesday 26 March 1940 p4 (p6). As a cross-check, the LDS site tells us that Philip Heinrich Friedrich Kumnick was born in 13 June 1867 Lobethal SA, died 9 June 1941 Gawler SA and is buried in Willaston Cemetery. He was a storekeeper, and resided first in Lobethal, then Roseworthy and Gawler. His father was Carl Ferdinand Kumnick born 8 Dec 1824 Flatow, Posen, Prussia and married 1851 to Johanne Eleonore Seidel born 29 Sep 1830 Schloin, Silesia, Prussia and died 24 Jul 1910 Lobethal. Philip Heinrich Friedrich Kumnick was married 13 Jan 1898 in Lobethal to Maria Elisabeth Ey [born 20 Mar 1876 Carlsruhe SA, and died 25 Mar 1940 In Gawler.

The “P Kupke” search at South Australia Cemeteries yields no results for Willaston Cemetery (3). The Augusta Paulina Kupke Death Index shows that she died in 1935, with her nominated relative her husband Rudolph Kupke (4). The Rudolph Kupke search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery’s Burial Register has Rudolph Kupke, but no further details are given (5). A review of the headstone AP & P, could easily be AP & R, in fact it seems much more than likely, and the “R” refers to Rudolph (1). There is no Rudolph Kupke Wedding Index, but there is a Rudolf Kupke Marriage Index, which says he was married 1892 to Auguste Grocke (6).

My calculation makes his year of birth to be c1923. The Joseph Kvjatkovskis search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms that the Memorial Inscription says that he was 59 years old when he died in 1982 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kvjatkovskis_joseph.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonk_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=S3ZqYXRrb3Zza2lz&g=Sm9zZXBo&c=&y=&r=MA== Herbert Heinz Kvjatkovskis was born 29 Sept 1952 and died 25 Nov 1969, the son of J Kvjatkovskis (1). This makes it even more definite that his father wasn’t born on the same day as the son. Unfortunately, on the “K” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, Herbert Heinz’s surname is not spelt correctly, Kyjatkovskis in stead of the correct Kvjatkovskis, as it is on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/kvjatkovskis_herbert_heinz.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonk_data.htm Clarence HJ Allen Lafern aged 62 years died on 15 March 1949; his wife Helena Lafern aged 52 years died 4 Oct 1951 (1). There are no records of the surname Lafern at Genealogy SA. A second reading of the headstone leads to the thought that it is Clarence HJ Allen and his wife Helena Lafern Allen buried here. A search of Clarence Allen at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery’s Burial Register confirms Clarence Henry John Allen, and the Memorial Inscription reads Clarence H J Allen aged 62y died in 1949 (2). The Helena

Allen search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Helena Lafern Allen on the Burial Register and Helena Lafern Allen aged 52y died in 1951 on the Memorial Inscription (3). As a cross-check, the Bunyip, Friday 18 March 1949 p1 reports: “Sudden Death of School Teacher. The death occurred suddenly on Tuesday morning of Clarence Henry John Allen, aged 61, teacher at Gawler Primary School for the past 18 months. Mr Allen had left his Angle Vale Road home a little earlier than usual to ride his, bike to the school. Near the railway subway he was evidently taken ilI and had to seek assistance back to his home. He died very soon after being put to bed. He was buried at Willaston cemetery on Wednesday afternoon, Rev Father Sparkes officiating at the graveside” (4). On the Gawler Council’s Burial Register, Clarence Henry John Allen aged 61 years from Gawler was buried 16/03/1949 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 4 E 3, with Father Sparkes officiating (5). Helena Lafern Allen aged 52 years from Gawler was buried 5/10/1951 Willaston Cemetery reopened Plot/Grave/Niche 4 E 3, with Father Sparkes officiating (5). So there’s absolutely no doubt as to their identities. However, I cannot track down his date of birth, nor her maiden name 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lafern_clarence_h.j._allen_&_helena.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QWxsZW4=&g=Q2xhcmVuY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QWxsZW4=&g=SGVsZW5h&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96852532?searchTerm=Clarence%20Henry%20John%20Allen&searchLimits= 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34071 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34268 Elizabeth Lally died aged 82, her husband Michael died aged 81 years (1). On the Michael Lally Marriage Index, Michael Benedict Joseph Lally was married in 1885 to Elizabeth Gertrude Hanley in the Kapunda District (2). Lally— Hanley. On the 6th April, at the residence of the bride's father, Sandymount Cottage, by the Rev Father Esser, Michael Joseph, youngest son of Michael Lally Esq, Gawler, to Elizabeth Gertrude, second daughter of Michael Hanley Esq, near Freeling. The South Australian Advertiser, Thursday 9 April 1885 p4 (3). So Michael Joseph is the son of Michael Lally. On September 30, at a private hospital, Henley Beach, Elizabeth, widow of Michael Lally, of Willaston, aged 82 years. Requiescat in pace. The Advertiser, Friday 2 October 1942 p10 (4). Lally. On October 15, at private hospital, Adelaide, Michael, beloved husband of Elizabeth Lally, of Willaston, aged 81 years. RIP. The Advertiser, Thursday 16 October 1941 p10 (5). So, the only Michael Lally who married an Elizabeth, and they die at the correct ages for our two, and are buried in Willaston Cemetery. To me, this is strong evidence, from varied sources, but to check on the Gawler Council Burial Register, Michael Lally aged 81 from Gawler was buried 17/10/1941 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 52 O 3, with Father O'Sullivan officiating (6). Elizabeth Lally aged 82 from Willaston was buried 1/10/1942 Willaston Cemetery reopened Plot/Grave/Niche 52 O 3, with Father O'Sullivan officiating (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lally_michael_&_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGFsbHk=&g=TWljaGFlbA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36304015?searchTerm=Lally%20Hanley&searchLimits=fromyyyy=1885|||frommm|||fromdd||| toyyyy=1885|||tomm|||todd 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48885433?searchTerm=Michael%20Joseph%20Lally&searchLimits=l-title=44 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44962074?searchTerm=Michael%20Joseph%20Lally&searchLimits=l-title=44 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32803 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32857 Michael Lally aged 76 years died 16 May 1900; his wife Bridget Lally died aged 80 years on 1 Apr 1907 (1). Michael Lally was born c1824 Ireland and died 16 May 1900 Willaston SA. He arrived SA 1847 on the THERESA, his occupation was a bullock drover and farmer, and resided at Werecota, Kingsford Station, Gawler River and others. He was married c1845 in Ireland to Bridget Connelly [born c1827 in Ireland and died 1 Apr 1907 Willaston]. Michael and Bridget’s children include [1] John Lally born c1846, died 1898; [2] Thomas Lally born 1850, died c1855; [3] Timothy Lally born 1853, died 1928; [4] Catherine McClaren nee Lally born 1855, died 1935; [5] Hannah Lally born 1857, died 1881; [6] Thomas Lally born 1859; [7] Michael Lally born 1860, died 1941; [8] Mary Dwyer nee Lally born 1862, died 13 Oct 1949 Gawler (2). This confirms the dates on the headstone, as well as their son Michael’s dates in Note 610. We can check the details by looking at the Gawler Council’s Burial Register, which says that Michael Lally aged 78[sic] years who last resided at Willaston was buried 18/05/1900 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 11 Q 3, with Prior Kindlan officiating (3). Bridget Lally aged 80 years who last resided at Willaston was buried 3/04/1907 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 10 Q 3, with Father O'Neill officiating (4). Hannah Lally who was noted above to have been born in 1857 was 23 years old and last residing in Mudla Wirra when she died and was buried 5/1/1881 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 10 Q 3 {with her mother Bridget}, Abbot Alcock officiated (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lally_michael_&_bridget.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I297849&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30993 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31658 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29919 Albert Lally shares a headstone with his grandmother Mary McGann who died aged 64 on 1 Dec 1885. Albert Lally died aged 4 years and 9 months on 4th June 1901 (1). The Albert Lally Birth Index shows his birth in 1896 to parents Timothy Lally and Elizabeth Anastasia McGann (2). We learned in Note 611 that Timothy Lally [born 1853, died 1928] was the son of Michael and Bridget Lally, so these were also grandparents of Albert. Albert Lally from Willaston was buried 6/06/1901 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 53 Q 3, with Prior Kindelan officiating (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lally_albert.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGFsbHk=&g=QWxiZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31036 Joseph Thomas Lally was born 1894 and died 1926, father of Bob (1). I note that on the “L” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, it is said he died in 1976, but on close scrutiny, I still think he died in 1926 (2). The GenealogySA search of the Joseph Thomas Lally Death Index agrees that Joseph Thomas Lally died in 1926 (3). So does Adelaide’s Chronicle of Saturday 13 February 1926 p41 “Death: Lally. On the 8th February, at Willaston, Joseph Thomas Lally, the beloved husband of Daisy Lally, aged 32 years. RIP” (4). And also Gawler Council’s Burial Register: Joseph Thomas Lally aged 32 years from Willaston was buried 8/02/1926 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 53 O 3, with Father Maher officiating (5). On the “All Lally” Birth Index, Mrs Joseph Thomas Lally {Daisy Woodhouse} had 3 children [1] Audrey Jean Lally b1921; [2] Robert Thomas Lally b1923; [3] Lawrence Lally b1927; Lawrence being born after his father died in 1926. In fact, the father is not noted for Lawrence, just mother Daisy Woodhouse Lally - Joseph had died in February 1926!

But at least the headstone is correct, JT Lally had a son Bob and not surprisingly, there’s no birth notice for a Lawrence Woodhouse Lally anywhere to be found on Trove (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lally_joseph_thomas.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonl_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=TGFsbHk=&g=Sm9zZXBoIFRob21hcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/89636864?searchTerm=Joseph%20Thomas%20Lally&searchLimits=fromyyyy=1926|||frommm|| |fromdd|||toyyyy=1926|||tomm|||todd 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31131 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGFsbHk=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q=Lawrence+Woodhouse+Lally&fromyyyy=1927&frommm&fromdd&toyyyy=1927&tomm&to dd= Marjory Jane Lamont was born on 25 July 1921, and died 15 Feb 2004, making her aged 82 years old when she died; her husband Bob, Robert Cecil Lamont was born 12 Feb 1930, and died 19 May 200?5?

The Vera May Lang search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Vera May Lang died aged 71 years in 1971 on the Memorial Inscription (2). The Oliver Lang Birth Index shows he was born in 1885 to parents James Hamlyn Lang and Lydia Carter in the Strathalbyn District (3). The Oliver Lang Marriage Index shows he was married in 1920 to Vera May Inglis in the Morphett Vale District (4). According to the Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices, that for Vera May Lang appeared 1971-10-14 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lang_oliver_&_vera_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGFuZw==&g=VmVyYSBNYXk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGFuZw==&g=T2xpdmVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGFuZw==&g=T2xpdmVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-L.html Harold W Lange died aged 19 years on 24 Oct 1931; JL (Flora) Lange died aged 70 years on 15 April 1956; Flora’s husband Rudolph W Lange died aged 87 on 27 May 1965. Rudolph and Flora were parents of Gladys, Mavis, Victor, Clifford and Harold (deceased) (1). The Harold Lange search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has on the Burial Register Harold Wallace Lange, and Harold W Lang aged 19 died in 1931 on the Memorial Inscription (2). The Rudolph Lange Marriage Index shows that in 1906 Rudolph Wilhelm Lange was married to Johanne Louise Flora Zeunert in the Kapunda District (3). At the LDS site we find that Rudolph Wilhelm Lange was born 20 Feb 1878 nr Nuriootpa SA. His father was Carl Johann Joachim Lange born 26 June 1838 Cropelin, Mecklenburg, Prussia and his mother was Karoline Wihelmine Liebig born 15 Feb 1845 Schreiberau, Prussia.

A “J Lange” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription for JCH (Herman) Lange who was 89 years old when he died in 1964, and the corresponding Burial Register names him Johann Herman Carl Lange (2). The “All Lange” Marriage Index shows that in 1928 Johan Carl Hermann Lange married Auguste Ida Muller in the Frome District (3). The LDS tells us that Carl John Hermann Lange was born 6 Jul 1875 Balaklava SA. His father was Carl Heinrich Lange born 1830 Zedlitz, Silesia, Prussia and his mother was Joanne Charlotte Ernestine Hilbig born 4 Mar 1838 Prussia (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lange_ida_auguste_&_j.c.h..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGFuZ2U=&g=Sg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGFuZ2U=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I99506&tree=SouthAustralia Langton Langton died aged 24 years on 4 July 1868 (1), his headstone, which was in Pioneer Park, was subsequently moved to Willaston Cemetery. This was his real name, as shown by articles about his death just a month after he was married. Marriage: “LangtonUmpherston. On the 8th May, in the Presbyterian Church, Gawler, by the Rev J Gordon, Langton Langton, son of the late Thomas Henry Langton Esq, Teeton, Northamptonshire, to Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Mr Archibald Umpherston, late of Cumbuslang, County of Lanark, Scotland”.

William Henry Laskey was born in 1830 and died 9 Jun 1876 Bertha SA. He married Charlotte Crispin [born c1831, died 26 Jun 1906 Gawler]. Their children included [1] William Henry Laskey born 3 Sep 1854 Hindmarsh SA; [2] John Laskey born 12 Mar 1857 Bulls Creek SA; [3] Thomas Laskey born 16 Jan 1859 Bulls Creek; [4] Charlotte Frances

There is a second headstone involved: William Henry Laskey died 9 June 1876 aged 46 years; his daughter Charlotte Francis[sic] Laskey died 12 March 188?3 aged ?2?1 (3). This is no doubt a second much older headstone, probably made before 1907 when Charlotte Laskey died. The family must have decided on a new one so that all three names could be accommodated, and the spelling of “Francis” corrected. Therefore I would combine each name into a single line, with a note. There was another William Henry Laskey, son of the above William Henry, but he died in 1931: “Deaths: Laskey. On the 18th March, at Adelaide, William Henry, loved husband of Sarah Laskey, aged 76 years”. Advertiser and Register, Thursday 19 March 1931 p8 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/laskey_william_henry,_charlotte_frances_&_charlotte.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I121508&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/laskey_william_henry_&_charlotte_francis.jpg 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45755141?searchTerm=William%20Henry%20Laskey&searchLimits= 620 Eliza M Laskey died 1 Jan 1932; her husband Thomas Laskey died 31 May 1937 (1). The Thomas Laskey Marriage Index shows that in 1897 Thomas Laskey married Eliza Mitchell Ragless in the Barossa District (2). The Thomas Laskey Birth Index shows he was born in 1859 to parents William Henry Laskey and Charlotte Crispin in the Strathalbyn District (3). So we know he was the Thomas Laskey in Note 619 who was born 16 Jan 1859 Bulls Creek. GenealogySA doesn’t tell us Eliza’s year of birth, nor her age at death, so we must look elsewhere. The LDS site tells us that Thomas Laskey was born 16 Jan 1859 at Bulls Creek SA, and was a limeburner who lived in Gawler. He died 31 May 1937 and is buried in Willaston (His parents are described in Note 619). He was married 1 Sep 1897 at Willaston to Eliza Mitchell Ragless who was born 5th April 1864 to parents Oliver Ragless and Emma Frances Mitchell. Thomas and Eliza had no children (4). The Gawler Council’s website tells us that Eliza Mitchell Laskey aged 67 years from Gawler was buried 2/01/1932 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 32 G 2, with Rev Chamberlain officiating (5). Thomas Laskey aged 78 years from Gawler was buried 1/06/1937 Willaston Cemetery in the same Plot/Grave/Niche 32 G 2, with Rev Asser officiating (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/laskey_eliza_m_&_thomas.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGFza2V5&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGFza2V5&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I299156&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32644 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33340 621 Mark Last died 1906 and his wife Harriet Last died 1908, at least I assume the name order reflects the order of the dates. They were from Encounter Bay, and were parents of Mary Ann Parker who died aged 87 years on 24 July 1942, and she was the mother of Arthur presumably Arthur Parker (1). I note that both Mary Ann and Arthur Parker are buried in Willaston (2). A search of Mark Last at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery only shows that Mark Last died but no dates nor age at death (3). The Mark Last Death Index shows that Mark Last of the Port Gawler District died in 1908 (4). The Mark Last Marriage Index shows that Mark Last was married in 1854 in Adelaide to Harriet Parsons (5). The Harriet Last Death Index shows she died in 1906, with her nominated relative her still living husband Mark Last (6). The LDS search for Mark Last showed no details of his birth, parents or when he came to South Australia, only that he married Harriet Pearson[sic] and their daughter Mary Ann Last was born 26 Aug 1855 in SA (7). The Gawler Council records show that Harriet Last aged 71 years from Gawler South was buried 4/04/1906 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 45 Q 2, with Rev JH Sexton officiating (8). Mark Last aged 84 years from Gawler South was buried 6/01/1908 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche the same 45 Q 2, with Rev C Tuckwell officiating (9). Harriet’s Maiden Name definitely Parsons: “Golden Wedding: Last-Parsons. On the 17th October, 1854, at Trinity Church, Adelaide, by the Rev Dean Farrell, Mark Last, of Encounter Bay, to Harriet, eldest daughter of John Parsons, of Hindmarsh. Present address: Queen-street, Gawler South”. The Advertiser, Saturday 15 October 1904 p6 (10). Date of Harriet’s Death: “Last. On the 2nd April, at Queen street, Gawler South, Harriet, the beloved wife of Mr. Mark Last, late of Robert street, Hindmarsh, aged 71 years. A colonist of 53 years. Leaving one daughter and seven grandchildren and five great grandchildren”. The Register (Adelaide), Tuesday 3 April 1906 p4 (11). Date of Mark’s Death: “Last. On the 4th January, at his daughter's residence (Mrs Parker), Block-road, Gawler, Mark Last, late of Hindmarsh, aged 84 years, leaving one daughter, seven grandchildren, seven greatgrandchildren”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 11 January 1908 p31 (12). Mark Last was born Nov 6, 1823 in Barrow, Suffolk and came to SA in 1851 on the Lysander. He first worked in Encounter Bay where he married Miss H parsons, who was born 3 Jan 1835 also from Suffolk and had arrived SA 1853 on the William Stuart. This is from a Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 29 October 1904 p11 report of their Golden Wedding (13). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/last_mark_&_harriet.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonp_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGFzdA==&g=TWFyaw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=TGFzdA==&g=TWFyaw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGFzdA==&g=TWFyaw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=TGFzdA==&g=SGFycmlldA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I299208&tree=SouthAustralia 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31474 9 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31695 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5027694?searchTerm=Mark%20Last%20Harriet&searchLimits= 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/55710857?searchTerm=Mark%20Last%20Harriet%20Death&searchLimits=lcategory=Family+Notices|||fromyyyy=1906|||frommm|||fromdd|||toyyyy=1906|||tomm|||todd 12 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88284038?searchTerm=Mark%20Last%20Death&searchLimits=lcategory=Family+Notices|||fromyyyy=1908|||toyyyy=1908 13 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88379998?searchTerm=Mary%20Ann%20Bennett&searchLimits=l-title=291 622 Alma B Laubsch born 1896, died 1981; Lorna Laubsch born 1923, died 1966; Friedrich A Laubsch born 1891, died 1974 (1). Alma Laubsch search at Newspaper Death Notices show 4 notices in the 1981 Advertiser for Alma Laubsch x1; Alma Bernadine Laubsch x2 and Alma (Teenie) Laubsch x1 (2). The Friedrich Laubsch search at Newspaper Death Notices have several notices for Friedrich Alwin Laubsch in the 1974 Advertiser (3). The Friedrich Laubsch Marriage Index shows that in 1919 Friedrich Alwin Laubsch married Alma Bernardina Jonsen in the Kapunda District (4). A Lorna Laubsch search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery have Lorna Laubsch on the Memorial Inscription but on the Burial Register, Lorna Helene Laubsch (5). The Lorna Laubsch Birth Index has Lorna Helene Laubsch born in 1923 to parents Friedrich Alwin Laubsch and Alma Bernhardine Jonsen in the Kapunda District (6). The Lorna Laubsch Death Index

His father was Samuel Gustav Laubsch born 13 Apr 1863 Schoenborn SA and his mother was Emma Louise Frost born 24 Apr 1864 Sandy Creek SA, his parents marrying 22 Oct 1885 Friedrichswalde SA. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/laubsch_lorna,_friedrich_a_&_alma_b.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=TGF1YnNjaA==&g=QWxtYQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=TGF1YnNjaA==&g=RnJpZWRyaWNo&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGF1YnNjaA==&g=RnJpZWRyaWNo&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGF1YnNjaA==&g=TG9ybmE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGF1YnNjaA==&g=TG9ybmE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=TGF1YnNjaA==&g=TG9ybmE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I21566&tree=SouthAustralia Edward H Laubsch died aged 87 years on 17 July 1956; his wife Julia DK Laubsch died aged 59 years on 27 July 1928 (1). The Edward Laubsch Death Index shows Edward Hermann Laubsch died 1956 in the Angaston District (2). The Julia Laubsch search at South Australia Cemeteries at Willaston Cemetery shows Julia DK Laubsch died aged 59 years in 1928, and on the Burial Register her name is Julianne DK Laubsch (3). The Julia Laubsch Death Index shows Juliane Dorothea Karoline Laubsch died in 1928, with her nominated relative, her (living) husband Eduard Herrmann Laubsch in the Barossa (4). The Gawler Council’s Burial Register tells us that Juliane DK Laubsch aged 59 years who last resided in Willaston was buried 28/07/1928 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 5 F 4, with Rev Weibusch officiating (5). Edward Hermann Laubsch aged 87 years who last resided in Tanunda was buried 19/07/1956 Willaston Cemetery the re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 5 F 4, with Rev Zweck officiating (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/laubsch_julia_d.k._&_edward_h.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=TGF1YnNjaA==&g=RWR3YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGF1YnNjaA==&g=SnVsaWE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=TGF1YnNjaA==&g=SnVsaWE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31218 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34573 Vernon Frederick Laubsch died aged 80 years on 25 July 2007; no mention of a wife, but father of Denzil, Tammie and Bronwyn (1). The Vernon Laubsch Birth Indexshows that Vernon Frederick Laubsch was born in 1927 to parents Friedrich Alwin Laubsch and Alma Bernadina Jensen[sic] in the Kapunda District (2). This makes him Lorna’s brother, along with LO Laubsch [see Note 622]. There are no marriage records on GenealogySA for Vernon Laubsch, but Trove tells us: Hill—Laubsch. The marriage of Joan MJ, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs AT Hill, of Willaston, to Vernon F, second son of Mr and Mrs FA Laubsch, of Gawler East, will be solemnised at Tod Street Methodist, on January 31, 4.30pm.

Lloyd D Lavis died 5 June 1996, husband of Gwyne, and father of the same children (3). The Lloyd Lavis search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Lloyd Douglas Lavis aged 79 years on the Burial Register (4). The Lloyd Lavis Marriage Index shows that Lloyd Douglas Lavis was married in 1937 to Gwyne Alfreda Norman in Gawler (5). The Gwyne Norman Birth Index shows that Gwyne Alfreda Norman was born in 1919 to parents George Richard Jesse Norman and Etta Lavina Williams in the Port Gawler District (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lavis_gwynne_a..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonl_data.htm 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lavis_lloyd_d..jpg 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGF2aXM=&g=TGxveWQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGF2aXM=&g=TGxveWQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Tm9ybWFu&g=R3d5bmU=&c=&y=&r=MA== Samuel Lawes died on 24 Jan 185?6 aged 3?1 years; Alfred Burdett Lawes died aged 3 months on 21 November 185?6?5. This is very difficult to read (1). The headstone was moved form Gawler’s original cemetery at Pioneer Park to Willaston Cemetery, but to me it seems that Alfred was the infant and Samuel was the older person than it says on the “L” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The List of names on Gawler’s Pioneer Park has 6 deaths with the surname Lawes: [1] 1854 Samuel William Lawes 7 weeks; [2] 1855 Alfred Burdett Lawes 3 months; [3] 1855 William Ingram Lawes 19; [4] 1856 Samuel Lawes 30; [5] 1865 Elizabeth Lawes 82; [6] 1869 Peter Saunders Lawes 59 (3). As the date on the headstone of Samuel Lawes seems definitely to end in a “6”, and there is no second name, I feel that this belongs the 1856 death of the 30 year old Samuel. William Ingram Lawes aged 19 years died 20 Feb 1855 (4). According to the LDS data, Samuel Lawes was born in 1823 Tilshead, Wiltshire, England, to parents William Lawes and Elizabeth Saunders. Samuel died in 1856 SA (5). The Lawes family are found on the LDS site also. William Alsop Lawes was born in 1773 Tilshead, Wiltshire, England, and he died 16 Aug 1834 Tilshead. Elizabeth Lawes nee Saunders was born in 1783 Tilshead, died 1865 [and is buried in Pioneer Park –see above. JAS]. Their children included [1] Mary Ann Lawes born 1804 Tilshead, died there in 1811; [2] Peter Saunders Lawes born 1810 Tilshead, and died 16 Feb 1869 Sandy Creek SA; [3] Elizabeth Lawes born 1816 Tilshead, died 1898; [4] Rebecca Lawes born 1813 Tilshead, was married 27 Jun 1848 in Gawler SA to Frederick Lampard, and died 1893; [5] James Alsop Lawes born 1816 Tilshead, was married 30 Apr 1851 in Gawler to Eleanor Springbett, and died 9 Apr 1898 Sandy Creek SA; [6] Thomas Alsop Lawes born 1819 Tilshead, and died 1895; [7] Sarah Alsop Lawes born 1822 Tilshead, was married 15 Aug 1847 in Gawler to Thomas Alexander Waters, and she died in 1860; [8] Samuel Lawes was born 1823 Tilshead, and died in 1856 (6). Samuel Lawes was clearly not 30 years old when he died, more like 32 years old. “Died. On the 24th inst, at Rosenthal, Mr Samuel Lawes, one of the churchwardens of St George's, Gawler”. South Australian Register, Monday 28 January 1856 p2 (7). Rosenthal is now Rosedale (8). A search of Alfred Lawes at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription for Alfred Burdett Lawes stating that he was 3 months old when he died in 1855 (9). The Alfred Lawes Birth Index shows that Alfred Burdett Lawes was born in 1855 to parents Samuel Lawes and Agnes Otto in the Barossa West District (10). The death of William Ingram Lawes on Tuesday, 20 Feb 1855: “Fatal Accident with Firearms.
On Monday last a young man named William Lawes, son of Mr Peter Lawes, of Sandy Creek, near Lyndoch Valley, was accidentally shot by his brother, and died the following day. It appears that the brothers, with some other young men, were out shooting, and went into a blacksmith's shop to have one of the guns repaired. Whilst there the surviving brother was holding his gun across his arm, with the muzzle pointing behind him, when in consequence of some entanglement of the lock in his dress it went off and lodged the contents in the groin of the deceased. We hope this will be a caution, added to the scores of warnings that have gone before, against the incautious use of firearms”. South Australian Register, Friday 23 February 1855 p3 (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lawes_samuel_&_alfred_burdett.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonl_data.htm 3 http://headstones.weebly.com/gawler-old-pioneer-park.html 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lawes_william_ingram.jpg 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I299413&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I299413&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F90157&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/49750654?searchTerm=Samuel%20Lawes&searchLimits= 8 http://www.ach.familyhistorysa.info/germanplacenames.html 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGF3cw==&g=QWxmcmVk&c=&y=&r=MA== 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGF3ZXM=&g=QWxmcmVk&c=&y=&r=MA== 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/49305947?searchTerm=William%20Lawes&searchLimits=l-title=41 627 Jeffrey Lawler died 31 March 1936, husband of Elizabeth Lawler (1). Jeffrey Lawler is the only Lawler noted on the “L” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). However, the “All Lawler” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows that there are 7 Lawlers on the Burial Register, including Elizabeth Lawler [year not shown] and Jeffrey Charles Lawler in 1936 (3). The Jeffrey Lawler Birth Index shows that Jeffrey Charles Lawler was born in 1885 to parents Daniel Lawler and Eliza Cork in the Barossa District (4). On Gawler Council’s Burial Register, Jeffrey Charles Lawler aged 50 years who last resided in Willaston was buried 1/04/1936 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 5 I 2, with Rev Asser officiating (5). His wife Elizabeth Lawler aged 63 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 24/11/1947 in Willaston Cemetery the re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 5 I 2, with Rev Howland officiating (6). On the LDS site, Jeffrey Charles Lawler was born 27 Aug 1885 in Gawler. His father was Daniel Lawler born 1846, married 25 Dec 1873 North Rhine SA to Eliza Cork born 20 Oct 1856 Moorooroo SA. Jeffrey Charles Lawler was married 19 Aug 1907 in Gawler to Elizabeth Milton born 27 Nov 1883 Dublin SA. Children included Jeffrey Lawler born 17 Oct 1907 Gawler and died 28 Oct 1907 Gawler (7). The Hundred of North Rhine became the Hundred of Jellicoe (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lawler_jeffrey.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonl_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGF3bGVy&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGF3bGVy&g=SmVmZnJleQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33151 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33968 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I105238&tree=SouthAustralia 8 http://www.ach.familyhistorysa.info/germanplacenames.html 628 This Sloan family headstone refers to John Sloan who died aged 86 years on 17 Sept 1954; his wife Ellen Sloan who died on 25 July 1957 aged ?8?4; and their daughter Ellen Lawry died aged ?6?7?0?8? years on 7 Aug 1981 (1). Is she really Ellen Lawry Sloan? There are no obvious connections to the Sloans when searching Ellen Lawry, but when we search Ellen Sloane at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, there are 2 Memorial Inscriptions for Ellen Sloan [1] Ellen Sloan who died aged 84 years in 1957; [2] Ellen Lawry Sloan who died aged 60[sic] years in 1981 (2). The John Sloan Marriage Index shows unsurprisingly that he was married in 1892 to Ellen Lawry in the Clare District (3). Hence their daughter’s middle name, following contemporary customs on naming children. “Sloan. On September 17, at Hutchinson Hospital, John, beloved husband of Ellen Sloan, of 5 Twelfth street, Gawler South, and loved father of Edith, Esther, Ellen, Edgar, Lindsay, Sydney, John, Albert and Lyle. Aged 86 years”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 23 September 1954 p41 (4). Their children according to an “All Sloane” Birth Index on GenealogySA are [1] Edith Emma Sloan b1893; [2] Edgar Ernest Sloan b1895; [3] Lindsay Melville Sloan b1896; [4] Esther Maud Sloan b1898; [5] Sidney Hamilton Sloan b1900; [6] John Wesley Sloan b1904; [7] Albert Henry Sloan b1906; [8] Lyle Victor Sloan b1910; [9] Ellen Lawry Sloan b1912 (5). On the LDS site, John Sloan was born 4 Jan 1868 Upper Allens Creek SA. His father was Henry Sloan born 1844, and his mother was Eliza Maria Staker born 10 Oct 1846 Pine Forest SA who were married 7 Sep 1866 Mount Allen SA. John Sloan was married 6 Jul 1892 in Laura SA to Ellen Lawry born 9 Mar 1873 Tolderol SA. Their children included [1] Edith Emma Sloan born 12 Dec 1893 Laura; [2] Edgar Ernest Sloan born 17 Feb 1895 Laura; [3] Lindsay Melville Sloan born 18 Jul 1896 Laura; [4] Esther Maud Sloan born 3 Apr 1898 Laura; [5] Sidney Hamilton Sloan born 20 Sep 1900 Laura; [6] The rest they say are still “living” so no details (6). But that would mean Ellen Lawry Sloan would be now 102 years old if she was still alive.

It does seem from the photo that Gwen Lawson was 96 years old, not 86 as appears on the “L” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The Cedric Lawson search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms Cedric Richard Lawson died in 1963 (2), but there’s nothing much else on GenealogySA. There’re no results on Gwen Mary Lawson, nor Gwen Mary Bullock at Genealogy SA. Was Gwen Mary a Lawson when she died? Nothing on Savill Index for Gwen Lawson (4). The “All Lawson” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Cedric Richard Lawson died 1963 but no Gwen, Mary Lawson at all (5). Until we know under what surname she’s buried, cannot progress this, or find out more about Cedric Richard 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lawson_cedric_richard_&_gwen_mary_nee_bullock.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonl_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGF3c29u&g=Q2Vkcmlj&c=&y=&r=MA==

Mrs Richard Laycock Senr (presumably Richard William’s mother died 4 April 1905; Richard William Laycock died aged 85 years 19 June 1941 (2). On the LDS site, Richard William Laycock was born in 1856. His father was Richard Laycock born c1825, and his mother was Mrs Jane Laycock born 1830, and died 4 Apr 1905 in Gawler. Richard William Laycock was married 19 Jun 1879 at the United Methodist Free Church, Adelaide to Elizabeth Ann Riggs born 1858 SA and died 1916 SA. Their children included [1] Annie Geneva Allen Laycock born 17 Dec 1879 Adelaide, died 17 Jul 1909 Gawler; [2] Richard Allan Laycock born 8 Nov 1881 Adelaide; [3] Leslie John Laycock born 23 Sep 1884; [4] Fredrick Osmond Laycock born 21 Nov 1886 Gawler Plains; [5] Leonard Scott Laycock born 28 Jan 1889 Gawler; [6] Howard Roy Laycock born 15 Jul 1891 Gawler Station; [7] Zetta Doris Laycock born 7 Oct 1893 Gawler Plains; [8] Clifford Arnlord Laycock born 8 Jul 1895 Gawler Plains; [9] Frances Kingsley Laycock born 28 May 1897 Gawler; [10] Charles Bertram Laycock (twin) born 19 Oct 1900 Evanston, died 28 Jan 1901 Gawler Plains; [11] Oliver Keith Laycock (twin) born 19 Oct 1900 Evanston, died 16 Nov 1901 Gawler Plains; [12] Caroline Marguerite Mary Laycock born 28 Dec 1901 Evanston (3). Richard Allan Laycock died aged 82 years on 5th Aug 1964; his wife Annetta Wilson Laycock died aged 75 on 26 Aug 1964 (4). The Richard Laycock Marriage Index shows that in 1911 Richard Allan Laycock married Annetta Wilson McMillan in the Port Gawler District (5). The Annetta McMillan Birth Index reveals that Annetta Wilson McMillan was born in 1888 to parents George McMillan and Eliza Jane McPharlin in the Port Gawler District (6). On the LDA site, George McMillan was born in 1857, his father was William McMillan. George McMillan was married 18 Apr 1883 in Gawler to Eliza Jane McPharlin born 1858, died 15 May 1910 Gawler. Their children were [1] Rosetta May McMillan born 23 May 1884 Gawler, died 15 Feb 1886 Gawler; [2] Annetta Wilson McMillan born 31 Oct 1888 Gawler; [3] Matilda Muriel McMillan born 11 Sep 1891 Gawler; [4] Hilda Florence Alice McMillan born 11 Nov 1893 Gawler (7). It seems that Richard and Jane Laycock and family arrived in South Australia in 1858: “Shipping Intelligence. Arrived: Passengers per Burra Burra (arrival reported on Saturday) ..... Richard, Jane, Frederick, and Richard Laycock, ......” South Australian Register, Monday 13 September 1858 p2 (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/kl/laycock_elizabeth_ann,_charles_bertram,_oliver_keith_&_frederick.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/laycock_mrs_richard_snr_&_richard_william.jpg 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I12004&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/laycock_richard_allan_&_annetta_wilson.jpg 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGF5Y29jaw==&g=UmljaGFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TUNNSUxMQU4=&g=QW5uZXR0YQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I53130&tree=SouthAustralia 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/49784537?searchTerm=Richard%20Laycock&searchLimits=l-title=41 Thomas Laycock died in Adelaide 19 Dec 1871; his wife Sarah Laycock died 13 Feb 1891 in Gawler (1). The Gawler Council Burial Register tells us that Sarah Laycock aged 63 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 14/2/1891 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 14 D 4, with Rev Walter Jones officiating (2). Sarah Laycock’s Death: “Laycock. On the 13th February, at her residence, Park View, Gawler SA, Sarah, relict of the late Thomas Laycock, after a lingering illness and much suffering, 'Thy will be done.'” Bath paper (England), please copy. South Australian Register, Tuesday 17 February 1891 p3 (3). Thomas Laycock’s Death: “Monthly Summary of Births, Marriages, and Deaths. Deaths: Laycock. On the 19th December, at Young-street, Adelaide, Mr Thomas Laycock, late of Gawler Town, aged 40 years. His end was peace”. South Australian Register, Thursday 1 February 1872 p8S (4). The lack of early information on Thomas and Sarah Laycock implies that they were born and raised, even married, elsewhere. This premise is further strengthened by the SA Register asking an English newspaper to note Mrs Laycock’s demise (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/laycock_thomas_&_sarah.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30610 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48093313?searchTerm=Richard%20Laycock&searchLimits=l-title=41 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/39259403?searchTerm=Richard%20Laycock&searchLimits=l-title=41 Thomas Layton aged 58 years died 4 Jan 1886, the headstone being erected by friends and fellow workmen at James Martin & Co Ltd (1). According to the LDS site, Thomas Layton was born c1828 Lancashire, England. He arrived in SA 1856 on the Lord Raglan and was a carpenter residing in Gawler, Melrose. He married Mary Thornton who was born c1830, and their children included [1] Martha Layton born 1852; [2] Lavinia Layton born c1854, died 28 Apr 1856 Adelaide; [3] Alfred Layton born 4 Jul 1859 Melrose; [4] Martha Ann Layton born 12 Apr 1861 Melrose; [5] Clara Layton born 24 Jun 1863 Melrose; [6] Thomas William Layton born 1865, died 1866; [7] Alice Honora Layton born 17 Feb 1867 Kapunda; [8] Thomas William Layton born 19 Mar 1869 Kapunda; [9] Eva Layton born 9 Jul 1871 Kapunda (2). Thomas Layton’s Death: “Deaths from Sunstroke. Fears were entertained that such a continuation of hot weather would lead to serious result, and those fears have proved to be not without foundation. Already we have heard of two deaths from sunstroke in Gawler, and of many people and a great many children being prostrated by the heat. Both the above deaths have occurred to people well-known in Gawler. Mr Thomas Layton was the first case. As is known, he was foreman in the carpenter's shop at the works of Messrs James Martin & Co Limited. He was rather weakly at the time, having eaten nothing for nearly a week, at the same time drinking large quantities of water. It appears that he was struck down while at work at about 3.30pm on Monday, January 4, and was taken to his home close to Mr LS Burton's residence. Messengers were at once despatched for the doctors, but both being absent, Mr G Cross was fetched at 4.30. Mr Cross did all that could be done, but the case was too severe, and shortly after Dr Popham arrived Mr Layton expired at about 5.15. He had been 30 years in the country, 12 of which had been passed in Mr Martin's employment. Mr Layton would have been 58 years of age had he lived till February. He was buried in the Willaston Cemetery on Tuesday. .... “Bunyip, Friday 8 January 1886 p3 (3). Mary Layton was in Tasmania when she died: “Deaths. Layton. On the 25th July, at Hobart, Mary, relict of the late Thomas Layton, of Gawler, aged 63 years”.

Are they sisters, sisters-inlaw or cousins? The Gertrude Leak search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirm that Gertrude Emma Leak died aged 77 years in 1964 (2).

Maria Susannah Mills in the Yankalilla District (3). The Frances Leak Birth Index has Frances Mary Leak born in 1878 to parents Daniel Leak and Maria Susanah[sic] Mills in the Yankalilla District (4). They are sisters, and Frances Mary seems to have been at least 85 years old when she died 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/leak_frances_m_&_gertrude_emma.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGVhaw==&g=R2VydHJ1ZGU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGVhaw==&g=R2VydHJ1ZGU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGVhaw==&g=RnJhbmNlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== Clarence Albert J Ledgard died aged 71 years on 3 Feb 1977; his wife Sylvia Myrtle Ledgard died aged 75 years on 26 Oct 1983 (1). The Clarence Ledgard Marriage Index shows that Clarence Albert John Ledgard was married in 1932 to Sylvia Myrtle Reynolds in the Clare District (2). The Clarence Ledgard Birth Index has Clarence Albert John Ledgard born in 1905 to parents Edward Ledgard and Elizabeth Sawford in the Clare District (3). The Sylvia Reynolds Birth Index shows that Sylvia Myrtle Reynolds was born in 1908 to parents William Henry Reynolds and Edith Amy Work in the Hindmarsh District (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/ledgard_clarence_albert_j_&_sylvia_myrtle.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGVkZ2FyZA==&g=Q2xhcmVuY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGVkZ2FyZA==&g=Q2xhcmVuY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=UmV5bm9sZHM=&g=U3lsdmlh&c=&y=&r=MA== Violet Lee died aged 48 years on 6 July 1951; George Lee died aged 63 on 6 Dec 1960; and Lillian Lee died aged 9 months (1). Presumably this is a family of husband and wife, with their child. The George Lee search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription for George Lee who was 63y when he died in 1960, and the Burial Register names him George Albert Lee (2). The George Lee Marriage Index has George Albert Lee in 1928 marrying Violet May Calver in the Barossa District (3). The “All Lee” Birth Index does not have a Lillian Lee, and no mothers Violet Calver (4). An “All Lee” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery reveals a Memorial Inscription for a Lillian Lee who died aged 9m, and a Burial Register entry for a Lilian[sic] Lucy Lee, although no dates are shown (5). The “All Lee” Death Index has a Lilian Lucy Lee who died in 1929, her nominated relative was her father, George Albert Lee in the Hindmarsh District (6). Lilian Lucy Lee aged 8½ months from Sandy Creek was buried 5/09/1929 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 38 F 4, with Rev Bevan officiating (7). It seems the spelling is Lilian, despite what the headstone says, all other sources being in agreement. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lee_violet,_george_&_lillian.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGVl&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGVl&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGVl&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGVl&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=TGVl&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32604 Alex Leighton July 1945 is scratched into the concrete on the side of the grave (1). An Alex Leighton search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows on the Burial Register an Alexander James Leighton but date or age is not available (without registering etc) (2). The Alex Leighton Death Index shows that Alexander James Leighton died in 1945 in the Norwood District (3). “Deaths: Leighton. On the 3rd July, in Adelaide. Alexander James, beloved husband of Maisie and darling daddy of Marie Deane. Aged 33 years. After the Cross, the Crown.” Border Watch (Mount Gambier), Tuesday 3 July 1945 p4 (4). So what’s the connection to Gawler? Apart from Gawler having had Leightons living there, it isn’t immediately obvious, but the Gawler Council’s Burial Register notes he last resided in Mount Gambier, so it fits. Alexander James Leighton aged 33 years who last resided in Mount Gambier was buried 4/07/1945 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 16 I 4 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/leighton__alex.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGVpZ2h0b24=&g=QWxleA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=TGVpZ2h0b24=&g=QWxleA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/79788538?searchTerm=Alexander%20James%20Leighton&searchLimits=l-title=276 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33920 George Leonard, husband of RA Leonard died in his ?86th year, no date seen; also his son Edward no age nor date (1). The George Leonard search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirm he died in his 86th year (2), ie he was 85 years old. The George Leonard Death Index shows that there were 2 George Leonard deaths [1] 1878 Adelaide, and [2] 1943 Gawler (3). The George Leonard Marriage Index shows only one who married an “RA”, George Leonard in 1889 married Rebecca Ann Gaston in the Barossa District (4). This seems to exclude the George Leonard who died in 1878. And it means that our George Leonard was born c1858. On the LDS site, George Leonard was said to have been born in 1867, but in the accompanying notes, it says he was born 1 Oct 1857 Charing Cross, London, England, died 24 Sept 1943 Gawler SA and is buried in Willaston SA. His parents were James Keith Leonard and Amelia Jane Leonard formerly Butlin nee Beckingham. George Leonard arrived in SA in 1876 on the Golden Sea. He was by occupation an engineer, and lived Barossa Goldfields, Gawler. He was married in Gawler on 30 Nov 1889. His wife was Rebecca Ann Gaston, born 4 Feb 1871 (or 4 Feb 1872) at Williamstown SA to parents Edward Gaston and Penelope Lawson, and died in Gawler Sept 1954. George and Rebecca’s children included [1] Isabelle May Leonard (1890-1954); [2] James Arthur George Leonard b1891, d1933; [3] Edward Keith Leonard b1893, d1898; [4] Jessie Penelope Leonard b1898, d1920; [5] James William Leonard b1900, d1965; [6] Donald Leslie John Leonard b1902, d1960; [7] John Lawrence Gordon Leonard b1904, d1974; [8] George Robert Leonard b1908, d1982 (4). The Edward Leonard search at South Australia Cemeteries shows that Edward Keith Leonard was aged 4 years and 8 months when he died (5). The Edward Leonard Death Index confirms that Edward Keith Leonard died in 1898, his nominated relative, his father George Leonard (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/leonard_george_&_edward.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGVvbmFyZA==&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=TGVvbmFyZA==&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGVvbmFyZA==&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I147589&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGVvbmFyZA==&g=RWR3YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=TGVvbmFyZA==&g=RWR3YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== The Mary ?Jane Leopold headstone has impossible to read details (1). The Mary Jane Leopold search at South Australia Cemeteries shows a Memorial Inscription saying she died aged 99 years in 1972 (2). The Mary Jane Leopold Death Index confirms her death in 1972,
639

her nominated relative was her deceased husband, Johann Carl August Leopold in Gawler (3). The “All Leopold” Birth Index shows 6 children born to Charles (or Carl) August Leopold and Mary Jane Hall in the Frome District [1] Dora Myrtle Leopold b1898; [2] Alma Olive Leopold b1901; [3] Muriel Gladys Leopold b1900; [4] Ralph Harry Leopold b1904; [5] William Malcolm Leopold b1906; [6] Gladys Verna Leopold b1910 (4). The Mary Jane Leopold Marriage Index shows she married Charles August Leopold in 1897 in the Frome District (5). The Savill Index says that the Funeral Notice for Mary Jane Leopold appeared in the Advertiser 1972-02-14 (6). The LDS site tells us that Mary Jane Hall was born 26 May 1872 Allens Creek SA. Her father was William Hall b1840, and married, 27 Feb 1866 nr Mount Allen, Mary Jane Wyatt b1842. Mary Jane Hall was married 28 Oct 1897 in Hawker SA to Charles August Leopold b1866 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/leopold_mary_jane.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGVvcG9sZA==&g=TWFyeSBKYW5l&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=TGVvcG9sZA==&g=TWFyeSBKYW5l&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGVvcG9sZA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=SGFsbA==&g=TWFyeSBKYW5l&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-L.html 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I270208&tree=SouthAustralia Albert Theodor Leske died aged 78 years on 3rd Dec 1981; his wife Hilda Melida Leske died aged 79 on 2 Jan 1983 (1). The date of death for Albert Theodor Leske on the “L” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery is written as 1861, which is clearly wrong, and makes no sense related to his wife’s dates (2). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices in the Advertiser newspaper has Albert Theodore[sic] Leske’s on 1981-12-04 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/leske_albert_theodor_&_hilda_melida.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonl_data.htm 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-L.html Rose HD Lethbridge died aged 74 years on 13 July 1967. She is buried with her sister Ellen Jane Parham who died aged 81 years on 8 April 1965, wife of Gawler Parham, mother of Vi, Alva and Ray (1). The Rose Lethbridge Death Index shows that Rose Hilda Dorcas Lethbridge died in 1967, with her nominated relative, her living husband Arthur Lethbridge in the Port Adelaide District (2). The Arthur Lethbridge Marriage Index shows that Arthur Thomas Francis Lethbridge was married in 1928 to Rose Hilda Dorcas Preiss in the Hindmarsh District (3). So we now know the maiden name of Rose, and also Ellen Jane. The Rose Hilda Dorcas Preiss Birth Index was fruitless but the Ellen Preiss Birth Index showed that Ellen Jane Preiss was born in 1884 to parents Henry August Frederick Preiss and Ellen Baker in the Barossa District (4). The “All Preiss” Birth Index revealed 8 children born to Henry August Frederick Preiss and Ellen Baker, all in the Barossa District [1] Emily Caroline Preiss b1874; [2] Sidney Albert Preiss b1880; [3] Sidney Frederick Preiss b1881; [4] Alfred Austin Preiss b1883; [5] Ellen Jane Preiss b1884; [6] August William Stanley Preiss b1886; [7] Muriel Joyce Preiss b1888; [8] Rosie[sic] Hilda Dorcas Priess[sic] b1893 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lethbridge_rose_h.d..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=TGV0aGJyaWRnZQ==&g=Um9zZQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGV0aGJyaWRnZQ==&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=UHJlaXNz&g=RWxsZW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=UHJlaXNz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Revd JH Lewis, died aged 32 years on 2 Jan 1882, pastor of Congregational Church, Gawler (1). Clearly says aged 32, not noted on the “L” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The “J Lewis” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription for JH Lewis who died aged 32 years in 1882, and on the Burial Register John Henry Lewis (3). “The Late Rev JH Lewis.The Rev JH Lewis who has heen pastor of the Gawler Congregational Church, died at the residence of Mrs Turner, Church Hill, on Monday last, at half-past 2 o'clock, being only 32 years old.

The Athol L'Green search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription for Athol V L'Green and his death aged 67 years in 1956, and the Burial Register names him Athol Victor L'Green (3). The “All L’Green” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Claudia L'Green died aged 62 years in 1962 on a Memorial Inscription, the Burial Register naming her Claudia Allene L'Green (4). Athol L’Green doesn’t appear on a Birth Index nor an Marriage Index, so we cannot get their years of birth from GenealogySA using L’Green.

The Charles Liebich Marriage Index shows that Charles Frederick Liebich married Eva May Darley 1916 in the Frome District (2). The LDS site did not have a Charles Frederick Liebich, but they did have Carl Frederick Liebich, who was born 21 Dec 1880 at Black Rock SA.

Schaedel b1855.Charles Liebich was married 1 Mar 1916 in Quorn SA to Eva May Darley b1890 (3). If the 1890 birth year for Eva is correct, she must have been at least 87 years old. There is no Eva Darley on the Birth Index, and no help on Trove etc, so I’ll let it be at this stage 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/liebich_charles_f_&_eva_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGllYmljaA==&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I115254&tree=SouthAustralia Rose Liebich died 17 Jan 1924 (1). The Rose Liebich Birth Index shows two possibilities [1] Rose Liebich born 1923 to parents Walter Gustav Liebich and Helena Selma Bock in the Barossa District; [2] Rosey Polina Liebich born 1884 to parents Bennett Liebich and Matilda Shadel in the Frome District (2). According to Gawler Council’s Burial Register for Willaston Cemetery, Rose Liebich aged 10½ weeks from Willaston was buried 18/01/1924 Plot/Grave/Niche 22 F 2, with Rev S Best officiating (3). The first possibility, Rose Liebich b1923 exactly fits the Willaston data, as Rosey Polina would be about 40 years old by 1924. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/liebich_rose.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGllYmljaA==&g=Um9zZQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32469 FW Liebig died aged 63 years on 4 Jan 1924; his wife AP Liebig died aged 80 years on 1 July 1943 (1). The “All Liebig” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has on the Burial Register Fredrick Wilhelm Leibig[sic] and on the Memorial Inscription FW Liebig aged 63y when he died in 1924. There is also a Memorial Inscription for AP Liebig who died aged 80y in 1943, but the only possible female AP Liebig on the Burial Register is Hannah Pauline Liebig (2). So did Fredrick Wilhelm marry a Hannah or Anna Pauline? The Friedrich (after no success with Fredrick) Liebig Marriage Index shows that in 1885 Friedrich Wilhelm Liebig married Hanna Pauline Staehr in the Barossa District (3). On the Gawler Council site of Willaston Cemetery’s Burial Register, Freidrick[sic] Wilhelm Leibig[sic] aged 63 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 5/01/1924 in Plot/Grave/Niche 24 F 2, with the Minister of the Gospel Tent Mission officiating (4). Hannah Pauline Liebig aged 80 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 3/07/1943 in the same [re-opened] Plot/Grave/Niche 24 F 2, with the Rev Heidenrich officiating (5). Being buried together is kinda conclusive evidence that FW and AP were in fact Fred and Anna Liebig. A further piece of evidence when researching another Liebig buried in Willaston (see Note 647), Paul Adolph Liebig [aka Adolph Paul Liebig] was born in 1900 to parents Friedrich Wilhelm Liebig and Anna Pauline Staehr in the Angaston District (6). This confirms his mother was called Anna Pauline [or AP] Liebig 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/liebig_f.w._&_a._p..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGllYmln&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGllYmln&g=RnJpZWRyaWNo&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32468 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33565 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGllYmln&g=UGF1bA==&c=&y=&r=MA== Ted Liebig died aged 58 years on 26 May 1950 (1).

To establish that Theodore Liebig was called Ted, the Bunyip, Friday 8 May 1914 p2 has this article I have heavily cut, but which can be read in full using the reference: “A Nocturnal Visitor: Charged with wantonly disturbing. ... Theodor Liebig was charged by ..... to get up and see who was knocking at the window. He went to tbe window and said. ''Now, look here, Ted, get away before you get into trouble.' Accused stepped back when called by name.... “ (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/liebig_ted.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34152 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97738395?searchTerm=liebig&searchLimits=l-title=371 Alice Amelia Liebig died aged ?68 on 3 Feb 1968; Adolph Paul Liebig died aged 74 on 16 May 19?74 (1). There is a query as to Adolph’s age on the “L” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). But that doesn’t seem the hardest text to read on this headstone. The Adolph Liebig search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms a Memorial Inscription with the details that Adolph Paul Liebig died aged 74 years in 1974 (3). There is no Adolph Liebig on the Birth Index, nor Marriage Index. The Alice Liebig search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms a Memorial Inscription for Alice Amelia Liebig’s death in 1968 at the age of 68 years (4). But I cannot see the Burial Registers for either Liebig under these names, and without her maiden name, I cannot progress this further. But the “A Liebig” Marriage Index shows that in 1924 Adolf[sic] Paul Liebig married Alice Amelia Wasley in the Barossa District (5). The Alice Wasley Birth Index shows that Alice Amelia Wasley was born in 1899 to parents Mathew Thomas Wasley and Alice Jane Jarmyn in the Port Gawler District (6). The Paul Liebig Birth Index shows that Paul Adolph Liebig [aka Adolph Paul Liebig] was born in 1900 to parents Friedrich Wilhelm Liebig and Anna Pauline Staehr in the Angaston District (7). Not only has this solved the Adolph Paul Liebig, it has confirmed his mother was called Anna Pauline {or AP} Liebig, see Note 645 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/liebig_alice_amelia_&_adolph_paul.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonl_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGllYmln&g=QWRvbHBo&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGllYmln&g=QWxpY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGllYmln&g=QQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=V2FzbGV5&g=QWxpY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGllYmln&g=UGF1bA==&c=&y=&r=MA== Fred J Liersch died aged 86 years 27 May 1975 (1). The Fred Liersch search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows that the Burial Register has Fred J Liersch aged 83 yearsbut the Memorial Inscription says Fred Liersch was 86 years old when he died in 1975 (2). The Fred Liersch Birth Index has Fred John Liersch born in 1889 to parents Charles Liersch and Louisa Belling in the Gilbert District (3). This would confirm that he was indeed 86 years old. The Fred Liersch Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser has 2 Frederick John Liersch notices in 1975 (4). On the LDS site, Fred John Liersch was born 28 Apr 1889 at Bismark SA (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/liersch_fred_j..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGllcnNjaA==&g=RnJlZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGllcnNjaA==&g=RnJlZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=TGllcnNjaA==&g=RnJlZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I301311&tree=SouthAustralia Walter A Liersch died aged 90 years old on 11 July 1974; Ivy JM Liersch died aged 88 years on 24 Dec 1984 (1). The Walter Liersch search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription for Walter A Liersch aged 90y dying in 1974 (2). There is
no Burial Register entry in this name, so maybe there was a mistake in the surname spelling? The Walter Liersch Birth Index shows that Walter Albert Liersch was born in 1884 to parents Charles Liersch and Louisa Belling in the Gilbert District (3). This makes him an older brother of Fred Liersch [see Note 648]. There is no marriage index for Walter Liersch. The Ivy Liersch search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has the Memorial Inscription for Ivy JM Liersch aged 88y in 1984 (4), but no Burial Register entry in that name. The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices has Ivy Jane Manda Liersch on 1984-12-26 and Walter Albert Liersch on 197407-12 (5). According to the LDS data, Walter Albert Liersch was born 5 Feb 1884 Bismark SA. His father was Johann Carl Liersch born 15 Aug 1849 Bethanien SA who was married 21 Jul 1874 at Bismark to Dorothea Louise Belling born 15 Mar 1851 (6). I cannot find a marriage on Trove between Walter and Ivy, although it may just have not been advertised. There is an Ivy JM Lucas: “Divorces granted: Ivy Jane Manda Lucas, falsely called Cutting, of Cowan street, Gawler, against Henry Webster Cutting, otherwise Cyril William Robertson, of Lillimur road, Carnegie, Victoria, on the ground that at the time she went through the marriage ceremony with him he was lawfully married to Hensie May Cutting, who was then alive and the marriage was still subsisting. Declaration of nullity granted”. Chronicle, Thursday 22 March 1945 p27 (7). The Ivy Lucas Birth Index shows Ivy Jane Mauda[sic] Lucas born in 1896 to parents Frederick Lucas and Louise Roediger in the Port Gawler District (8), and Ivy Jane Manda Lucas married Cyril William Robertson 1920 in the Barossa District (9). Is this coincidence to have two Ivy Jane Manda females, both born the same year, and both with Gawler connections, or is it the same person? Logic says so, but it is not proved. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/liersch_walter_a_&_ivy_j.m..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGllcnNjaA==&g=V2FsdGVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGllcnNjaA==&g=V2FsdGVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGllcnNjaA==&g=SXZ5&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-L.html 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I301381&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92810496?searchTerm=Ivy%20Jane%20Manda&searchLimits= 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=THVjYXM=&g=SXZ5&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=THVjYXM=&g=SXZ5&c=&y=&r=MA== 650 Lt A Limb died 7 May 1920, Australian Army 10th Battalion (1). Lt Arthur Limb was born 27 July 1893, Gawler West, son of John Limb and Mary Ann Limb nee Allen, of Finnis St, Gawler. He was a schoolteacher prior to enlistment 20 Oct 1915, overseas 25 March 1916 to 29 June 1919, and was twice mentioned in despatches. Died 7 May 1920 Finnis Street, and buried at Willaston (2). The Allen Limb Marriage Index showed he was married in 1916 to Eveline Palmer Boyce in the Port Adelaide District (3). On the “All Limb” search at South Australia Cemeteries, the Willaston Cemetery’s Burial Register shows Arthur Limb and the Memorial Inscription says that Arthur Limb was 26y when he died in 1920 (4). “Death of Arthur Limb: Brilliant Forward's End. The sad news of the death of Arthur Limb, Sturt's great forward in 1915, was received in Adelaide this morning. At the close of the first premiership year of the two-blues, Limb donned khaki and served his country gallantly in France, gaining the commission of lieutenant. Towards the end of last football season Limb arrived home, and when he left England, so well in health and condition was he, that he wrote to his old club stating that he hoped to be back in time to help the team in the final games of the season. On the voyage out, however, Limb contracted a severe cold, which developed tubercular trouble, and instead of entering the football field as he had so fondly hoped, he went to Bedford Park for treatment. Recently he returned to his home at Gawler, apparently improved in health, but a serious change which occurred on Friday night resulted in his death a few hours later. The deceased was a brother of Bert and Allan Limb, also well-known Sturt players years ago. By the death of Arthur Limb, Sturt has lost a valued and popular clubmate and the football world a sterling and honest player”. The Mail (Adelaide), Saturday 8 May 1920 p3 (5). This headstone is a second memorial to Lt Arthur Limb, who had obviously completed some studies at Oxford whilst still serving in the Army (6). It does not mention any dates of death as quoted on the “L” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (7), which surely belong to the next photograph of Lt Arthur Limb’s memorials. This next photograph shows that Lt Arthur Limb died aged 26 years on the 7 May 1920 (8), not 1924 as appears on the “L” data page (2). For my purposes I have combined these 3 entries into one line of data, with amention that there are 3 memorials pertaining to Lieutenant Arthur Limb 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/limb_a.jpg 2 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/l.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGltYg==&g=QWxsZW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGltYg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/63849877?searchTerm=Arthur%20Limb&searchLimits= 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/limb_arthur.jpg 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonl_data.htm 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/limb_arthur_2.jpg 651 This Limb family headstone refers to Mary Ann Limb who died aged 67 years and 7 months on 18 Nov 1914; her husband John Limb who died aged 77 years on 10 July 1924; Sarah Limb who died aged 13 months on 7 July 1880; and Dorothy Limb who died aged 8 months on 27 Dec 1886 (1). There is a separate plaque referring to Mary Ann Limb nee Allen who we had already established in Note 650 was the wife of John Limb and mother of Lt Arthur Limb. So the headstone reference to Mary Ann Limb is the same Mary Ann Limb who was the first to sing “Song of Australia” and for my purposes I will combine these into one entry. On the LDS site, John Limb was born 4 Apr 1847 Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England, and died 10 July 1924 in Adelaide and is buried at Willaston. His father was George Edward Limb born 2 Dec 1823 Chesterfield, was married 14 Jan 1847 Chesterfield, and died 9 May 1865 Adelaide SA. John’s mother was Elizabeth Mather born 19 May 1824 in England. John and family arrived in SA 1848 on the Baboo. His occupation was blacksmith, and works foreman and he resided in Gawler. John Limb was married 2 May 1871 in Gawler to Mary Ann Allen born 1 May 1847 Dorset England, and died 18 Nov 1914, Gawler. Her parents were John Allen and Jane Allen nee Parker. Their children were [1] Amelia Elizabeth (aka Minnie) Young nee Limb born [Twin 1] on 21 Jul 1872 Gawler, died 1964; [2] Eliza Jane (aka Tottie) Wiltshire nee Limb born [Twin 2] on 21 Jul 1872 Gawler; [3] Annie Ethel Morris nee Limb born 26 Oct 1873 Gawler, died 1966; [4] John Mozart Limb born 17 Oct 1875 Gawler, died c1939; [5] Marian Davey nee Limb born 6 Mar 1877 Gawler, died 1960; [6] Sarah Limb born 8 May 1879 Gawler, died 7 Jul 1880 Gawler; [7] George Limb born 29 Oct 1880 Gawler, died 1952; [8] Samuel Parker Limb born 17 Feb 1882 Gawler, died 1965; [9] Hannah Hetzel nee Limb born 3 Oct 1883 Gawler; [10] Dorothy Limb born 18 Apr 1885 Gawler, died 27 May 1886 Gawler; [11] Allen Limb born 29 Sep 1886 Gawler, died 1975; [12] Nellie Rebbeck nee Limb born 9 Mar 1888 Gawler; [13] Herbert Limb born 19 Jun 1889 Gawler, and died c1958; [14] May Beatrice Nankivell nee Limb born 4 May 1891 Gawler, died 1979; [15] Arthur Limb born 27 Jul 1893 Gawler, died 1920 (3).

On the Robert Limb Birth Index, Bobby Limb was born in 1924 Adelaide to parents George Harold Limb and Ellen Eliza Izzard Turner (1). George Harold King was born in 1887 to parents Robert Limb and Alice Woods in Adelaide (2). Robert Limb in turn was born in 1857 to parents George Limb and Elizabeth Mather also in Adelaide (1). Now as we instantly recognise from Note 651, George and Elizabeth were also the parents of John Limb, married to Mary Ann Limb nee Allen (3). George Limb who had Robert Limb also had John Limb. Robert Limb fathered George Harold Limb, so John was GH’s uncle. GH had Bobby Limb, making John Limb his great uncle and hence Mary Ann his great aunt. So Bobby is not linearly related to Mary Ann, but was her great nephew. 1 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGltYg==&g=Um9iZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGltYg==&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I114950&tree=SouthAustralia George Edward Lindner was born 4th June 1886 and died ?? July 1972; his wife Ida Alma Lindner was born 22 Dec 1886 and died 28 June 1952 (1). The George Lindner Marriage Index shows that in the Frome District in 1912, George Edward Lindner married Ida Alma Zwar (2). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser has that for George Edward Lindner appearing on 1972-07-10 (3). As it is too recent for Trove searches, a general Google search fortuitously found mention of Lindners on the genealogy site Genealogy.com in their forum section: “Re: Lindners in South Australia: Posted by: Bruce Maxwell (ID *****9882). Date: January 24, 2005 at 02:58:55, in reply to: Lindners in South Australia by Margaret Blake. Hi Margaret. I have just started digging into the German side of my ancestry, so here is some stuff that may trigger something with you. At this stage I can only go back to my grandfather George Edward Lindner b.4/6/1886 d 7/7/1974. I believe he was the only boy with 4 or 5 sisters. His parents originally lived up north of Wilmington someplace. He married Ida Alma Zwar b 22/12/1886 d. 25/5/1952 and lived at Wilimington. He spent his last years at Gawler - his four daughters are still alive. Ida's parents were Johann Traugott Zwar 26/10/1860 - 13/7/1942 and Ernstine Emma Klemm 5/2/1859 - 24/5/1890. Johann was born at Ebeneezer and Ernstine was born at Grunberg ? (Australia I guess). Hope something comes of this bit, I live in Rostrevor (4). Although the dates are not exact matches, the death date for George Edward looks right, as he was buried on the 10th July, he could have easily died on the 7th. The reply to the above letter on GenForum: “Re: Lindners in South Australia: Posted by: Margaret Blake (ID *****2668). Date: January 27, 2005 at 03:40:16: In Reply to: Re: Lindners in South Australia by Bruce Maxwell. Hi Bruce I'm very interested in your Lindners.I don't have any record of your George.But I have found a birth record for a George Edward Lindner b 4 Jun 1886 at Yanyarrie (not sure where that is)Parents were August Edward Lindner & Wilhelmina Altman.It's interesting your relative died in Maitland. Rogers family came from Maitland. John Frederick James Lindner & Elsie Rhoda May Fisher lived in Maitland all their married life.We also have a John Maxwell Lindner born in Maitland 1939 so the name has come from somewhere. His father was Richard George Charles Lindner. I'll have to dig a bit deeper now that you have given me a name.Keep in touch we might be on to something; Kind Regards Margaret from Craigmore” (5). The George Lindner Birth Index show that George Edward Lindner was born in 1886 in the Frome District to parents August Edward Lindner and Wilhemina Altman (6), so we are definitely talking about the right person. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lindner_ida_alma_&_george_edward.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGluZG5lcg==&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-L.html 4 http://genforum.genealogy.com/lindner/messages/143.html 5 http://genforum.genealogy.com/lindner/messages/145.html 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGluZG5lcg==&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== Basil Carl Lindquist was born 8 Aug 1930, and died aged 49 years (1). His headstone has a blank half, presumably for his wife. His death at age 49 means he died c1979. The Saville Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser has one for Basil Carl Lindquist on 197905-14 (2). This means he died May 1979. There is little information on the life of Basil Lindquist, apart from Newspaper Death and Funeral Notices for 1979, and Memorial Inscription at Willaston Cemetery saying that Basil Carl Lindquist was 49 years old when he died in 1930[sic] (3). It is still too recenr for Trove and even the Willasto Cemetery Burial Register 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lindquist_basil_carl.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-L.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGluZHF1aXN0&g=QmFzaWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== Rudolph H Linke died aged 75 years on 8 Aug 1964; his wife Ivy May Linke died aged 85 years on 17 May 1976; their son Clarence H Linke died aged 40 on 5 April 1958 (1). It is noted on the “L” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery that he is named Rudolph Linke (2), but the headstone clearly says Rudolph H Linke. The Rudolph Linke Marriage Index reveals that in 1912 Rudolph Hermann Linke married Ivy May Knight in the Hindmarsh District (3). The Clarence Linke Birth Index shows that Clarence Hermann Linke was born in 1917 to parents Rudolf Hermann Linke and Ivy May Knight in the Barossa District (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/linke_clarence_h,_rudolph_h_&_ivy_may.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonl_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TGlua2U=&g=UnVkb2xwaA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TGlua2U=&g=Q2xhcmVuY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== Minnie Linke died 21 May 1931; her husband Carl August Linke died aged 43 years 6 Jan 1910 (1). The Minnie Linke search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription for Minnie Linke who died in 1931 (2), not 1951 as it says on the “L” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (3). According to the LDS site, Carl August Linke was born 30 Apr 1866 Seppeltsfield SA, and died 6 Jan 1910 Gawler. He was a farmer who lived in Brownlow. His father was Johann Wilhelm Linke born 1840 Posen, Prussia and his mother Johanna Elisabeth Brauer born 1841 Prussia, who had married 26 May 1864 Lights Pass SA. Carl August Linke was married 2 Oct 1889 in Tanunda to Johanna Maria Wilhelmine Ruhe born 14 Jan 1863 Tanunda and died 21 May 1931 in Gawler. Apparently there were no children (4). Presumably it was the Wilhelmine that was shortened to Minnie 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/linke_carl_august_&_minnie.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TGlua2U=&g=TWlubmll&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonl_data.htm 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I114566&tree=SouthAustralia Stephen W Locking was born 21 March 1907, died 27 Oct 1985, loved by Alice ?wife.

(1). He is Sidney Lodge on the headstone, not Sydney Lodge as on the “L” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The “All Lodge” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has showing on the Burial Register just Cecilia Ann Lodge but the Memorial Inscription Cecelia Ann Lodge was 68y when she died in 1945; the Burial Register just shows Sidney Lodge and the Memorial Inscription has Sydney[sic] Lodge died in 1957 (3). The Sidney Lodge Birth Index shows he was born in 1872 to parents Stephen Lodge and Mary Ann Speller in the Barossa District (4). On the LDS site, Stephen Lodge was born 1825 in Essex England and died 7 Mar 1901 Willaston SA. He arrived in SA 1859 on the James Jardine, and was a labourer. He was married to Mary Ann Speller who was born c1832. Their children were [1] John Lodge born 1850; [2] Lucy Lodge born 1854; Elijah Lodge born 1856; [4] Charles James Lodge born 21 Apr 1862 Mudla Wirra SA; [5] Annie Alice Lodge born 17 Aug 1865 Gawler River: [6] 6. Sidney Lodge born 8 May 1872 Gawler River; [7] Arthur Lodge born 17 May 1874 Gawler River (5). Still at the LDS site, Sidney Lodge was married 24 May 1911 in Gawler to Cecilia Ann Burrows born 1878, Their children included [1] Harold Arthur Lodge born 26 Oct 1897 Willaston; [2] Roy Frederick William Lodge born 11 Oct 1899 Willaston; [3] Doris May Lodge born 19 Sep 1901 Willaston; [4] Grace Louvena Lodge born 3 Sep 1903 Willaston; [5] At least one more child (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lodge_cecelia_ann_&_sidney.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonl_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TG9kZ2U=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TG9kZ2U=&g=U2lkbmV5&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I113256&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I113259&tree=SouthAustralia Ray John Long died aged 46 on 30 Oct 1967, husband of Carmel, father of 8 (1). On a separate joint headstone are Ray John Long, died aged 46 on 30 Oct 1967; and Carmel Kathleen Long, died aged 84 years on 22 April 2007 (2). This is clearly another headstome dedicated to both parents after Carmel died. Same cemetery, same name, same age, same date of death and same wife’s name. So I’ll combine the 2 Ray John Long entries into one line. The Ray Long Birth Index shows that Ray John Long was born in 1921 to parents Alfred Augustus Long and Lillie Stella Brown in the Barossa District (3). Yes, he was named Ray, not Raymond 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/long_ray_john.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/long_ray_john_&_carmel_kathleen.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TG9uZw==&g=UmF5&c=&y=&r=MA== Private RH Longman SX2239 died 1 Nov 2001 aged 86, 2/10 Infantry Battalion, husband of Viv (1). The Australian WW2 Nominal Roll (2) is confusing for Robert Henry Longman as there are 2 entries. The first entry for Robert Henry Longman (Longman, John Joseph), who was born 19 May 1915 in Broken Hill, next of kin Minnie Bell, enlisted in the Australian Army in Broken Hill on 17 Oct 1939, and given the Service Number SX511. He was in 2/3 FD COY R A E 2 AIF but discharged 24 Mar 1940 (3). The second entry is for Longman, John Joseph (Longman, Robert Henry), who now was born 9 May 1914 in Broken Hill, next of kin Minnie Longman, re-enlisted in the Australian Army in Adelaide (Wayville)a week later on 1 Apr 1940, and was given a new Number SX2239 (SX511). This time he was posted to 2/10 Battalion and was discharged 1 Apr 1945. So is he Robert Henry or John Joseph? Which date of birth should we use? Is the Minnie who was Bell, then Longman his wife? Did he get married in the week between bouts of army service? My reckoning is that he was born in 1915 so I’ll use that date, because the 1914 birth would make him 87 years, not 86 when he died. But there are more questions than answers 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/longman_r.h..jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/NameSearch.aspx 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=1289591 4 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=666369 Elva Emily Loveday cannot have been born in 1926 and died aged 59 years on 4 Sept 1992. If she was 59, she would have been born c1931, or if she was born in 1926, she would have been about 66 years old when she died. So I’m finding suspicious the “L” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (1). From the headstone, Elva Emily Loveday’s dates are as it says on the “L” data page, wife of Gerald Loveday, mother of Roaemary (2). So what’s going on? The Gerald Loveday Birth Index shows that he was born in Adelaide 1928 to parents Alfred Ernest Loveday and Mary Eva McPherson (3), but that is all I can see on Gerald Loveday at GenealogySA. The Elva Loveday search at Newspaper Death Notices shows several for Elva Emily Loveday in the 1992 Advertiser, but nothing else on GenealogySA (4). Cotton — Loveday. The engagement is anounced of Elva Emily, younger daughter of Mr and Mrs FW Cotton, of Nailsworth, to Gerald, second son of Mr AC and the late Mrs Loveday of Perth, late of Adelaide. The Advertiser, Saturday 10 July 1954 p28 (5). The Elva Cotton Birth Index confirms Elva Emily Cotton was born in 1926 to parents Frederick William James Cotton and Myrtle May Wallace in Adelaide (6). So the dates are correct, it’sa mistake on the headstone or faulty information and she was really about 66 years old when she died 1 http://www.ach.familyhistorysa.info/germanplacenames.html 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/loveday_elva_emily.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TG92ZWRheQ==&g=R2VyYWxk&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=TG92ZWRheQ==&g=RWx2YQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q=Gerald+Loveday+Elva+Emily 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q290dG9u&g=RWx2YQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== Herbert Lowe and Flo Lowe is all it says (1). But the Herbert link on the “L” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2) leads to the headstone of Ruby Louisa Lowe, and Harold Lowe (3). And the Harold Lowe link leads back to Herbert and Flo. The Herbert Lowe Marriage Index shows that in 1932 Herbert William Lowe was married to Florence Gertrude Sleader in Adelaide (4). The Herbert Lowe Birth Index shows that Herbert William Lowe was born in 1909 to parents Mark Herbert Lowe and Lillie Louisa Drury in the Hindmarsh District (5). The Herbert Lowe search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription Herbert William Lowe aged 78 years (6). The Savill Index of Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser has the one for Herbert William
Lowe on 1988-10-03, and Flo Lowe on 2002-05-13 (7). The Florence Sleader Birth Index shows Florence Gertrude Sleader was born in 1912 to parents Edward Andrew Sleader and Gertrude Annie Ising in the Gilbert District (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lowe_herbert_&_flo.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonl_data.htm 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lowe_ruby_louisa_&_harold.jpg 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TG93ZQ==&g=SGVyYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TG93ZQ==&g=SGVyYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=TG93ZQ==&g=SGVyYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-L.html 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=U2xlYWRlcg==&g=RmxvcmVuY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 663 Ruby Louisa Lowe died aged 67 on 12 Sept 1957, mother of Eric, Cyril and Doris, wife of Harold Lowe who died 13 Feb 1960 (1). The Harold Lowe Marriage Index shows that Harold Lowe was married in 1914 to Ruby Louisa Hales in Adelaide (2). On Mundia by Ancestry.com, Harold Lowe (1889 – 1960) was born in Kaniva, Victoria, and died in Gawler. His immediate family members included Ruby Louisa (3). Harold Lowe, born in 1889 Kaniva, Victoria to parents John Lowe and Caroline Montague (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/k-l/lowe_ruby_louisa_&_harold.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TG93ZQ==&g=SGFyb2xk&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.mundia.com/au/Search/Results?givenName=Harold&surname=LOWE&gender=Male&birthDay=&birthMonth=&birthYear= &birthPlace=Australia&deathDay=&deathMonth=&deathYear=1960&deathPlace=&motherGivenName=&fatherGivenName=&spouseGiv enName=&showMembersOnly=false 4 http://records.ancestry.com/Home/Results?firstName=Harold&lastName=Lowe 664 SE (Ern) Clift died aged 55 years on 19 Aug 1938; his wife Nellie Jane Clift died aged 67 years on 12 April 1946; their daughters Iris Clift died aged 5 weeks on 27 April 1904 and Amy Clift aged 3 months died 25 Nov 1917 (1), although admittedly some of the inscription is extremely hard to decipher, and I’ve relied a little on what is written on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The ‘all Clift’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that on the Burial Register are Iris Clift, Nellie Joane[sic] Lyne[sic] Clift, and Sydney Ernest Clift {but not Amy Clift}, and there are Memorial Inscriptions stating that Amy Clift died in 1917 aged 3m, Iris Clift died in 1904 aged 5w, Nellie Jane Clift died in 1946 aged 67y, and SE (Ern) Clift died aged 55y in 1938 (3). According to data on the LDS website, Sydney Ernest Clift was born 1 Apr 1883 in the Hundred of Hall SA to parents William Henry Clift (born 6 Dec 1858 McLaren Vale, died 4 Oct 1899 Gawler) and Ellen Smith (b1857), who had married 19 Dec 1878 in Gawler. Sydney Ernest Clift was married on the 4 Apr 1904 in Adelaide to Nellie Jane Pyne Reid b1879. Their children included Iris Clift b1907 Gawler, died 21 Apr 1907 Gawler (4), which is three years after the date on the headstone for Iris Clift’s short life. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Iris Clift was born Iris Nellie Mabel Clift on 19 Mar 1907 in Gawler to parents Sydney Ernest Clift and Nellie Jane Read (5). Was this the correct Iris whom the headstone says died aged 5 weeks on 27 April 1904, or was it a later child given the same first name? “Deaths: Clift. On the 21st April, at Queen street, Gawler, Iris, infant daughter of Ernest and Nellie Clift, aged 5 weeks”, Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 27 April 1907 p31 (6). If there are two Iris Clifts who both died aged 5 weeks, it would be very unlikely, so we must conclude that the 1904 on the headstone is incorrect. Back on RootsWeb, Amy Clift was born Amy Alexandra Clift on 25 Nov 1915 nr Gawler to parents Sydney Ernest Clift and Nellie Jane Pyne Read (7). Interestingly, the day and month correspond to the day she died, according to the headstone. But Amy died on 30 Jan 1916, Deaths: Clift. On the 30th January, at Gawler, Amy Alexander, dearly beloved infant daughter of E and N Clift, aged 9 weeks. The Advertiser, Tuesday 1 February 1916 p6 (8), which would be 9 weeks after her actual birth in Nov 1915. Sydney Ernest Clift dies on 4 Aug 1938: “Deaths: Clift. On August 4, Sydney Ernest, the beloved husband of Nellie Clift, of Bella street, Gawler, loving father of Thelma, Hubert, and Daphne, aged 55 years”, and on the same page “Funeral Notice: Clift.--The Friends of the late Mr Sydney Ernest Clift, late of Islington Workshops, are respectfully informed that his Funeral will Leave his late Residence, Bella street, Gawler, on Friday, at 3.30 pm, for the Willaston Cemetery”,News (Adelaide), Thursday 4 August 1938 p4 (9). Again the headstone date is incorrect when it says that Mr Clift died on the 19th Aug. Back on RootsWeb, Nellie Jane Pyne Read was born Abt 1879, and died as a widow aged 67 yrs who last resided in Gawler East on 12 Apr 1946 in Adelaide. Nellie Jane Pyne Read, single, aged 25yrs (father Charles John Read) was married at the Baptist Church Adelaide on 4 April 1904 to Sydney Ernest Clift, single, aged 21 yrs (born 1 April 1883 Hd Of Hall SA, father William Henry Clift). They had at least one child: Thelma Clarice Lydia Clift born 14 May 1905 Gawler (10). At least the headstone accurately records Nellie Clift nee Read’s date of death. “Deaths: Clift. On April 12, at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, Nellie Jane, relict of Sidney Ernest Clift, of Bella street, Gawler East, and beloved mother of Hubert, Thelma and Daphne, aged 67 years”, Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 18 April 1946 p17 (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clift_s.e,__nellie_jane,_iris_&_amy.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2xpZnQ=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I10341&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I472257 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88133230?searchTerm=clift%20iris%20gawler&searchLimits= 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I472273 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/8686172?searchTerm=Clift%20Amy%20Gawler&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/132020684?searchTerm=clift%20sydney%20ernest&searchLimits= 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I423137 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93152796?searchTerm=Clift%20Iris%20Gawler&searchLimits= 665 William Henry Clift died aged 41 yrs on 4 Oct 1899; Ellen Clift died aged __ yrs on 29 Sept 1929; the headstone noting that they were father and mother respectively. The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Ellen died aged 77 yrs (2), and I’ll accept this because I cannot read her age on the headstone, it is all hard to read. However I should point out that her year of death does look like 1829 to me, but that would mean that she was born before the colony in SA started. As mentioned in Note 664, LDS data tells us that Sydney Ernest Clift was born 1 Apr 1883 in the Hundred of Hall SA to parents William Henry Clift (born 6 Dec 1858 McLaren Vale, died 4 Oct 1899 Gawler) and Ellen Smith (b1857), who had married 19 Dec 1878 in Gawler. Searching RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people for Ellen Smith shows her birth about 1851, and death 20 Sep 1929 in Gawler SA aged 77 years. Ellen Smith (aged 27, born c1851, single, father was Caleb Smith) was married to William Henry Clift (aged 20, born c1858, single, father was William Clift) at
the residence of Mrs H Glastonbury of Gawler West on the 19/12/1878 (3). Maybe the LDS data is incorrect about Ellen’s year of birth, which makes sense if she was 77 years when she died in 1929. Also RootsWeb says she died on the 20th Sept, not the 29th Sept 1929, and this is confirmed in the newspaper: “Clift. On the 20th September, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Ellen Cllft, relict of William Henry Cllft, aged 77 years”, Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 26 September 1929 p42 (4). This would make 4 instances where the date on the headstone does not accurately reflect reality. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clift_william_henry_&_ellen.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I480821 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90054552?searchTerm=clift%20ellen%20gawler&searchLimits= 666 S Dorothy Afford was born 21 Feb 1907 and died 31 July 1992; husband was Jack, children Bill, Shirley and Dean (1). We need to find out her first name, but her year of death just says “31” the “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, but it should be 31 July 1992 as it says on the headstone. Her husband Jack was Lucien Jack Afford who was born 1 June 1908, and died 29 May 1976 (3), not 31 July 1992 as it says on the “A” data page (2). This is his wife Dorothy’s date of death, not his! The Lucien Afford Marriage Index has Lucien Jack Afford’s marriage in 1935 to Sarah Dorothy Ramke in the Clare District (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/afford_s._dorothy.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/afford_lucien_jack.jpg 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QWZmb3Jk&g=THVjaWVu&c=&y=&r=MA== 667 Lydia Allen died aged 86 on 4 Oct 1930; Jessie M Allen died aged 79 years on 29 May 1954; Ernest J Allen died aged 86 years on the 12 June 1957 (1). I note that on the “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, Lydia Allen is given the age of 96 years (2), but the headstone age seems much more like 86 to me, especially when you magnify the photo a little. The Lydia Allen search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows on the Memorial Inscription that Lydia Allen was 86y when she died in 1930 (3), so they agree with my reading of it. The Lydia Allen Death Index tells that when she died in 1930, her nominated relative was her deceased husband Samuel Allen (4). On the LDS site, Samuel Allen was born in 1843, his father was John Allen. Samuel Allen was married 29 Apr 1868 in Adelaide to Lydia Dennison, born 1845 Armagh, Ireland. Their children included [1] Herbert Samuel Allen born 22 Apr 1869 Middleton SA; [2] Ernest John Allen born 16 Feb 1871 Port Elliot SA; [3] William Johnston Allen born 11 Apr 1873 Goolwa SA; [4] Margaret Allen born 25 Feb 1875 Flatfield SA; [5] Mary Jane Allen born 22 Oct 1877 Flatfield; [6] Annie Florence Allen born 15 Sep 1879 Goolwa; [7] Robert Murrray Allen born 30 Oct 1882 Goolwa (5). The Jessie Allen search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows on a Memorial Inscription that Jessie M Allen was aged 79y died in 1954 and on the Burial Register it names her Jessie Margaret Allen (6). The Margaret Allen Birth Index shows that Margaret Allen was born in 1875 to parents Samuel Allen and Lidia Dennison in the Encounter Bay District (7). I suspect that Margaret Allen is really Jessie Margaret Allen, never married and is buried with her mother and older brother. And this death notice confirms this: “Allen. On May 29, at hospital, Jessie Margaret, of Wasleys, beloved daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Samuel Allen, late of Yorketown, and loved sister of Herbert, Ernest, William, Mary (Mrs Woods), Annie (Mrs Koth) and Murray. Aged 79 years”.

The day and month of 1894 varies (1), but it seems on the surface to be too much of a coincidence. I also recall that the Samuel Allen described in Note 667 had a father named John Allen, who would have been born about that time of 1822. The first John Allen headstone tells us that John Allen died 1 Aug 1894 aged 72 years (2). The second headstone certainly says that John Allen died aged 72 years on 5 Nov 1894; his wife Jane Allen died aged 83 in ?12? Feb 1904 (3). So there was a new headstone with John’s wife dying 10 years later, and his date of death was incorrectly copied, or maybe corrected. But are they the same person. His death notice: “Death: Allen. On August 1st, at his residence, Murray-street, Gawler, John Allen, aged 72 years”. Bunyip, Friday 3 August 1894 p2 (4), and also his obituary: “The Late Mr John Allen. On Wednesday, August 1, a well-known identity of Gawler passed away in the person of Mr John Allen. The deceased gentleman arrived in South Australia in 1848, and in the same year went to Gawler and entered the employ of Mr (now the Hon) James Martin. A year or two later he entered into partnership with the late Mr TJ Mankey, and carried on the business of machinists at Gawler. After a visit to the Victorian diggings the business was resumed by the two gentlemen and carried on for some years. When a dissolution of partnership took place the late Mr Allen continued the business, and did a large trade until he retired some ten or twelve years ago. The deceased gentleman was at one time a member of the local Town Council, and was a trustee of the Wesleyan Church for twenty years. He was also one of the oldest Oddfellows of the town. He was seventy-two years of age at the time of his death, and leaves a widow (who was his third wife) but no family”. South Australian Register, Friday 3 August 1894 p7 (5), both clearly say he died 1 Aug 1894. However, THERE IS A SECOND JOHN ALLEN after all, this one dying later that same year “Death: Allen. On the 5th of November, at Gawler West, John Allen, the beloved husband of Jane Allen, aged 72 years, leaving three daughters (Mrs OA Ward, Mrs J Limb, and Mrs R Badcock), also thirty grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. A colonist of 40 years, gone to rest”. Bunyip, Friday 9 November 1894 p2 (6). Jane Allen’s Death Notice: “Deaths: Allen. On February 11, at the residence of her son-in-law Mr John Limb, Finniss-street, Gawler, Jane, relict of the late John Allen, of Gawler West, aged 83 years”. Bunyip, Friday 12 February 1904 p2 (7). On the Town of Gawler website, John Allen aged 72 years who last resided in Gawler, died 1/8/1894 and was buried 3/8/1894 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 37 A 1, with Rev V Roberts officiating (8). A different John Allen aged 72 years who last resided in Gawler West, was buried 6/11/1894 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 33 B 4, again with Rev V Roberts officiating (9). Jane Allen aged 83 years who last resided in Gawler, was buried 12/02/1904 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 32 B 4, with Rev CH Nield officiating (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/allen_john.jpg 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/allen_john_&_jane.jpg

Frederick A Altmann died aged 69 years old on the 19 July 1915; his wife Augusta B Altmann was 77 years old when she died on 4 April 1936 (1). The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2) says he died on the 18th July, but it looks more like the 19th to me. The “All Altmann” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Memorial Inscriptions for Augusta B Altmann who died aged 77 in 1936, Frederick A Altmann who died aged 69 in 1915, Frederick John Altmann who died in 1937, John Frederick Altmann who died aged 58 in 1974, and Rachel Eileen Altmann who died aged 63 in 1974; the Burial Register gives Augusta B Altmann her fuller name of Augusta Bertha Altmann (3). The “F Altmann” Marriage Index shows that Friedrich August Altmann married Auguste Bertha Reisner in the Barossa District in 1884 (4). The LDS site tells us that Friedrich August Altmann was born 28 Nov 1845 at Lobethal SA to parents Friedrich August Altmann and Johanne Wilhelmine Tietz [born 1818, died 15 Aug 1854 in South Australia], although I cannot definitely say that this is the same person despite the ages fitting (5). To find his day of death, we turn to a Trove newspaper search: “Death: Altmann. On the 19th July, at Duffield-street, Gawler, Frederick A Altmann, aged 70 years”. The Advertiser, Tuesday 20 July 1915 p6 (6), which confirms he died on the 19th, although he was in his 70th year, not aged 70. John Frederick Altmann died aged 58 yrs on 20 Feb 1974, his wife Rachel Eileen Altmann died aged 63 yrs on 27 Sept 1974, parents of Donald (7). John Frederick Altmann died aged 58 yrs on 20 Feb 1974, his wife Rachel Eileen Altmann died aged 63 yrs on 27 Sept 1974, parents of Donald (7). There was nor John Altmann on the Marriage Index who married a Rachel, but on Trove, “Altmann — Brooks: The marriage of Rachel E, youngest daughter of Mrs M and the late Mr J Brooks, and John F, elder son of Mr and Mrs L Altmann, was celebrated at the Port Lincoln Methodist Church. The Rev CJ Perry officiated. The bride wore a smartly cut gown of embossed cloque. Misses Clarice Johnson and Olive Altmann were the bridesmaids, Mr H Altmann was best man and Mr M Gage groomsman. Relatives and friends were entertained at the home of Mr and Mrs L Altmann. The honeymoon was spent in the South East.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 11 January 1940 p55 (8). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian shows that John Frederick Altmann was born on 30 Jan 1916 in Port Lincoln SA to parents Louis Altmann and Olive Ivy McVicar (9), and Rachel Eileen Brooks was born on 26 Apr 1911 in Petersburg (now Peterborough) SA to parents John Brooks and Martha Crack (10). Again on RootsWeb, Frederick John Altmann was born on 27 Aug 1889 in Gawler to parents Fredrick August Altmann and Augusta Bertha Reicner[sic] (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/altmann_frederick_a_&_augusta_b.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QWx0bWFubg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QWx0bWFubg==&g=Rg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I217145&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5474990?searchTerm=Frederick%20Altmann&searchLimits= 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/altmann_john_frederick_&_rachel_eileen.jpg 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92389011?searchTerm=John%20Altmann%20Rachel&searchLimits= 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I426719 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I456067 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I716916 670 Herbert James Gwynne died aged 87 yrs on 16 Aug 1959; his wife Nell Gwynne died aged 86 yrs on 14 Sept 1975 (1), making their respective years of birth c1872 and c1889. The Herbert Gwynne Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Herbert James Gwynne died in Gawler in 1953 (2), and not in 1959 as I thought it said on the headstone. “Sudden Passing of Mr HJ Gwynne: The death occurred suddenly at his home early Sunday morning of well-known and widely respected Gawler resident Mr Herbert James Gwynne. He had experienced intervals of ill-health over the past few months, but latterly gave the appearance of good recovery. Aged 67 years, he had been in business as hairdresser and tobacconist since 1906 — an unbroken period of 47 years. A member of the Masonic Lodge of Fidelity he was Master in 1939 and also Master of the Mark Lodge. He was a Trustee of the local Oddfellows Lodge. A keen bowler, and subsequent President of the Gawler Club, he scored many outstanding victories stretching from 1932 to 1945. During 1941 he won the SA Singles Championship. In one period of 18 years he missed only one pennant match. Golf is another sport in which the late Mr Gwynne excelled and on different occasions he was President of the local Club. In earlier years he was greatly interested in coursing. As President of Gawler & District Tennis Association for three years he worked for the benefit of that sport. A few years ago Mr Gwynne took up poultry-raising as a hobby and had marked success in Parafield competitions. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, there being a big assemblage at Willaston cemetery where Rev AR Broadbent conducted the graveside service. There remain his widow, daughters Gwen (Mrs G Ames) and Beryl (Mrs G Fairley) and sons Fred and John” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 21 August 1953 p1 (3). The Herbert Gwynne Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Herbert James Gwynne was married in the Barossa District in 1911 to Ellen Mary Franklin Riggs (2), and the ‘all Gwynne’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Herbert James Gwynne and Ellen Mary Franklin Riggs shows there were 4 children, whose names match those on the Obituary of Herbert James Gwynne. The children were [1] Gwendolene Ellen Gwynne b1911; [2] Frederick Evan Gwynne b1913; [3] Beryl Gladwyn Gwynne b1915; [4] Herbert John Gwynne b1925 (2). On his headstone, Frederick Evan Gwynne died aged 69 yrs on 7 Oct 1982, husband of Melva Eileen, father of Denise, Merrilyn and Lynette (4). We know that he was the son of Herbert James Gwynne and Ellen Mary Franklin Riggs, born in 1913. The Frederick Gwynne Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Frederick Evan Gwynne was married in the Norwood District in 1937 to Dorothy Eden (2). Frederick Evan Gwynne’s older sister Gwendolene Ellen Gwynne married Gordon A Ames: “Marriages: Ames—Gwynne. On the 14th September, at Gartrell Memorial Church, Rose Park, by the Rev JH Crossley, Gordon A, eldest son of Mr and Mrs AH Ames, to Gwendoline E, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs HJ Gwynne, both of Gawler” The Advertiser, Wednesday 18 September 1935 p22 (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Herbert James Gwynne was born on 13 May 1886 in Willaston SA to parents Evan Gwynne and Mary Ann Dew (6), Gwendolene Ellen Gwynne was born on 11 Sep 1911 in Gawler SA to parents Herbert James Gwynne and Ellen Mary Franklin Riggs (7), Frederick Evan Gwynne was born on 23 Aug 1913 in Gawler to parents Herbert James Gwynne and Ellen Mary Franklin Riggs (8), Ellen Mary Franklin Riggs was born on 25 Jan 1889 in Gawler to parents Fredrick Henry Alexander Riggs and Ellen Garrett (9), and Dorothy Eden was born on 25 Jan 1913 in Moonta SA to
parents James Eden and Myrtle Ruby Stella Lennell (10). To confirm this information, we turn to the LDS site, that tells us that Herbert James Gwynne was born 13 May 1886 in Willaston SA to parents Evan Gwynne (born 31 Dec 1858 Willaston) and Mary Ann Dew (born 24 Sep 1860 Concordia SA) who had married on 11 May 1879 in Gawler. Herbert James Gwynne was married 30 Jan 1911 at the Methodist Parsonage Gawler to Ellen Mary Franklin Riggs [born 25 Jan 1889 Gawler] (11). Still on the LDS website, Evan Gwynne was born on 31 Dec 1858 in Willaston to parents Robert Gwynne (b1822 Welshpool, Montgomeryshire, Wales and died 20 May 1868 Willaston) and Frances Davis (b1817, died 4 Nov 1899 Willaston). Evan Gwynne was married aged 21 yrs on 11 May 1879 in Gawler to Mary Ann Dew aged 21 yrs, who was born 24 Sep 1860 Concordia SA. The 11 children of Evan Gwynne and Mary Ann Dew were [1] Albert Evan Gwynne born 19 Apr 1880 Willaston; [2] Edith Matilda Gwynne born 21 Jul 1881 Willaston; [3] George William Gwynne born 28 Nov 1883 Willaston; [4] Herbert James Gwynne born 13 May 1886 Willaston; [5] Frank Robert Gwynne born 9 Aug 1888 Willaston; [6] Arthur Andrew Gwynne born 13 Mar 1890 Willaston; [7] Ruth Ivy Gwynne born 21 Sep 1892 Bertha SA; [8] Roy Thomas Gwynne born 1 Sep 1895 Willaston; [9] Percy Harrold Gwynne born 21 Jun 1898 Willaston; [10] Muriel Violet May Gwynne born 1 Sep 1900 Bertha; [11] Annie Olive Pearl Gwynne born 5 Dec 1902 Bertha (12). Still on the LDS website, there are more details of the family of Evan Gwynne and Mary Ann Dew. The parents of Mary Ann Dew were George Dew and Jane Hillman; [1] Albert Evan Gwynne was married on 16 Nov 1905 in Gawler to Lily Maud Freak; [2] Edith Matilda Gwynne was married on 24 Oct 1906 in Willaston to James Harkness; [4] Herbert James Gwynne was married on 30 Jan 1911 in Gawler to Ellen Mary Franklin Riggs; [5] Frank Robert Gwynne was married on 8 Sep 1913 in Gawler to Myrtle May Smith; [6] Arthur Andrew Gwynne was married on 8 Sep 1915 in Gawler to Grace Maude Smith (13). On their headstone, Frank Robert Gwynne died aged 83 yrs on 8 Nov 1971; his wife Myrtle May Gwynne died aged 86 yrs on 22 Nov 1978, parents of Robert, Nancy and Joan (14). We know from the above that Myrtle May’s maiden name was Smith. Back on RootsWeb, we find that Myrtle May Smith was born on 18 Jan 1892 in Gawler to parents Robert John Smith and Eliza King (15). On their headstone, Arthur Andrew Gwynne died aged 71 yrs on 28 Aug 1961; his wife Grace M Gwynne died aged 73 yrs on 4 Dec 1966 (16). Grace Maude Smith was born Grace Maud[sic] Smith on 12 Aug 1893 in Gawler also to parentsRobert John Smith and Eliza King (17), making Grace Maude Smith the younger sister [and sister-in-law] of Myrtle May Smith. On their headstone, Roy Thomas Gwynne died aged 38 yrs on 14 Sept 1933; his wife Beatrice Gwynne died aged 53 yrs on 15 Dec 1954 (18). The Roy Thomas Gwynne Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Roy Thomas Gwynne was married in Adelaide in 1923 to Beatrice Anna Greenland Leeder (2). Back to RootsWeb, Beatrice Anna Greenland Leeder was born in 1901 in Manoora SA to parents William Ernest Ambrose Leeder and Susan Maxwell (19), but they don’t tell us her exact date of birth. On a RootsWeb, Ancestry.com website ‘Australia-L Archives’ it says that Beatrice Anna Greenland Leeder was born on 3 Dec 1901 at Manoora to parents William Ernest Ambrose Leeder and Susan Maxwell (20), it also has all the rest of that family’s birth details. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gwynne_herbert_james_&_nell.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96898202?searchTerm=herbert gwynne&searchLimits= 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gwynne_frederick_evan.jpg 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/40075772?searchTerm=Harry%20Ames%20Elsie&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I10167 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I522293 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I522298 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I229376 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I494494 11 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I34567&tree=SouthAustralia 12 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I45589&tree=SouthAustralia 13 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F11532&tree=SouthAustralia 14 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gwynne_frank_robert_&_myrtle_may.jpg 15 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I348206 16 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gwynne_arthur_a_&_grace_m.jpg 17 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I346587 18 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gwynne_roy_thomas__&_beatrice.jpg 19 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I280241 20 http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/AUSTRALIA/1999-04/0923053170 671 Lional [or Lionel] Ames was the younger brother of Gordon Alexander Ames, sharing parents Albert Henry Ames and Elsie Francis [Note 14]. His headstone reveals that Lional Ames died aged 82 years on 20 Feb 1995, husband of Mahala, father of Robert (1). The Lional Ames Marriage Index shows that Lional Albert Henry Ames was married in 1937 in Gawler to Mahala Margaret Perry (2). The website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Lionel[sic] Albert Henry Ames was born on 6 Sep 1912 in Stockwell SA to parents Albert Henry Ames and Elsie Francis (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/ames_lional.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QW1lcw==&g=TGlvbmFs&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I426994 672 Dean Hawksworth Anders died 24 Sept 1981, father of Robyn, David, Susan, Mark, but no mention of a wife. A small plaque below the writing records Robyn Marie Anders who died aged 40 years on 20 March 2006. She was born the ?2nd ?March 1966? (1). One may presume this Robyn was Dean’s daughter, and maybe eldest child, based on the order of the names. The “All Anders” Birth Index doesn’t have Dean Anders, nor any of his children, but they may be too recent (2). The Savill Index shows that the Funeral Notice for Dean Hawksworth Anders appeared in the Advertiser 1981-09-26; and the one for Robyn Marie Anders appeared 2006-03-22 (3). “Births: Anders. On the 21st of July, at Freeling Hospital, to Mr and Mrs EL Anders, a son (Dean Hawksworth). Melbourne papers please copy. The Advertiser, Saturday 26 July 1941 p12 (4). So we need to search for Dean’s father Mr EL Anders. The “E Anders” Birth Index has an Eric Louis Anders born in 1908 to parents Louis Rudolph Anders and Louise Agnes Alwine Kurtz in the Barossa District (5). By now searching the “All Anders” Birth Index for children of Louis Rudolph Anders and Louise Agnes Alwine Kurtz, we find they had two children [1] Eric Louis Anders b1908; [2] Cyril Kurt Anders b1912, in this case mother was named Louise Agnes Antonia Kurtz (6). Curiously, the Eric Anders search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription for Eric Louis Anders who died aged 73 years in 1985 (7). So why doesn’t Eric Anders appear amongst the Willaston photos? On the LDS site, Eric’s father Louis Rudolph Anders was born 14 Jul 1879 at Freeling SA. His father was Wilhelm Ernst Anders born 1835, and his mother was Johanne Henrietta Helene Henning born 1845, and died 4 Nov 1894 in Daveyston SA. His parents had married 16 Mar 1866 Tanunda. Louis Rudolph Anders was married 30 Oct 1907 in Gawler to Alwine Louise Agnes Kurtz born 17 Apr 1881 Sheaoak Log (8). So despite not appearing on the
headstone photos, this family all pivots around Eric Louis Anders. Cyril Kurt Anders was born on 14 Mar 1912 in Freeling SA to parents Louis Rudolph Anders and Louise Agnes Antonia Kurtz (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/anders_dean_hawksworth_&_robyn_marie.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QW5kZXJz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-A.html 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45016066?searchTerm=Dean%20Hawksworth%20Anders&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QW5kZXJz&g=RQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QW5kZXJz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QW5kZXJz&g=RXJpYw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I216816&tree=SouthAustralia 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I431670 673 On the headstone, Charles William Henry Atyeo died aged 82 years on 25 July 1964; his wife Eva Alice Atyeo died aged 81 years on 29 Jan 1969 (1). The Charles Atyeo Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Charles William Henry Atyeo was born in 1882 to parents Henry Atyeo and Mary Ann Heath in the Barossa District (2). The Charles Atyeo Marriage Index shows that Charles William Henry Atyeo was married in 1910 in Adelaide to Eva Alice McLeod (3). On the LDS site, Henry Atyeo, son of Joseph Atyeo, was born in 1848, and was married 16 Apr 1874 in Gawler to Mary Ann Heath b 13 Feb 1852 Adelaide. Their children were [1] Fanny Rosina Atyeo born 19 Jan 1875 Wards Belt SA; [2] Ada Emily Atyeo born 24 Sep 1876 Wards Belt; [3] Mary Ann Frances Atyeo born 18 Sep 1878 Wards Belt; [4] Celia May Atyeo born 10 Sep 1880 Wards Belt; [5] Charles William Henry Atyeo born 15 Dec 1882 Wards Belt; [6] Albert Joseph Atyeo born 12 Apr 1885 Wards Belt; [7] Amy Florence Atyeo born 7 Oct 1887 Wards Belt; [8] Marion Amelia Atyeo born 5 Mar 1890 Wards Belt, and died 29 Apr 1892 Wards Belt; [9] Wilfred George Heath Atyeo born 26 Jun 1893 Wards Belt (4). Also on the LDS site, [2] Ada Emily Atyeo married James Parham on 31 Oct 1901 at Wards Belt; [3] Mary Ann Frances Atyeo was married 19 Apr 1904 at Wards Belt to Harry Gilbert Folland; [4] Celia May Atyeo was married 17 May 1911 in Gawler to Percy Thomas Dawe; [5] Charles William Henry Atyeo was married 17 Sep 1910 in Prospect SA to Eva Alice McLeod born 1887; [7] Amy Florence Atyeo was married 6 May 1913 in Gawler to George Edmund Hobart; [9] Wilfred George Heath Atyeo was married 11 Aug 1915 in Gawler to Myrtle Hilda Cork (5). Still using LDS data, Myrtle Hilda Cork was born 20 Feb 1892 in Willaston. Her father was Martin Cork (born 28 Sep 1852 Marora Creek SA), who was married 10 Apr 1877 in North Rhine SA to Emma Fowler (born 1855, died 26 Oct 1914 Gawler) (6). Turning to RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Eva Alice McLeod was born on 23 Jul 1887 in Adelaide and died 29 Jan 1969 in Gawler. Her parents were Daniel McLeod and Elizabeth Grace Webber. The marriage between Charles William Henry Atyeo (aged 27, born 15 Dec 1882 in Wards Belt SA, single, father Henry Atyeo), and Eva Alice Mcleod (aged 23, born c1887, single, father Daniel McLeod), took place at the Church of Christ Prospect on the 17 Sept 1910. Eva Alice Atyeo died 29/1/1969 in Gawler at age 81 years. Relative listed as Charles William Henry Atyeo (Deceased husband). Widow, residence listed as Gawler. Their children were [1] Coral Eva Atyeo born 27 Jul 1911 Gawler; [2] Gwendoline Ettie Atyeo born 5 Aug 1914 Gawler; [3] Errold Charles Atyeo born 17 Jun 1921 Gawler; [4] Marjorie Winnifred Atyeo born 31 May 1926 Gawler (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/atyeo_charles_william_henry_&_eva_alice.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QXR5ZW8=&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QXR5ZW8=&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I134803&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F39786&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I228761&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I119254 674 Henry Thorold Atyeo died aged 65 years on 12 Jan 1983 (1), not 1998 as stated on the “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The Henry Atyeo Birth Index reveals that Henry Thorold Atyeo was born in 1917 to parents Wilfred George Heath Atyeo and Myrtle Hilda Cork (3). The Henry Atyeo search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms a Memorial Inscription for Henry Thorold Atyeo’s death in 1983 at the age of 65 years (4). Speculating that Henry Thorold Atyeo might have been involved in WWII, a search on the WW2 Nominal Roll shows that he came from Gawler, and he was in the Army’s 34 Australian Infantry Training Battalion, and his date of birth was given as 28 Feb 1917 (5). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices in the Advertiser shows a Funeral Notice for Harry Atyeo on the 1983-01-13 (6), and this fits very well with Henry Thorold Atyeo’s death the day before 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/atyeo_henry_thorold.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QXR5ZW8=&g=SGVucnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QXR5ZW8=&g=SGVucnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/NameSearch.aspx 6 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-A.html 675 This headstone is difficult to read. It commemorates Elizabeth Back who died aged 56 years on ?10? March 1916, and George Back who died aged 88 years on ?29? Oct 1934 (1). I had to rely heavily on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The George Back Marriage Index on GenealogySA has only one George who married an Elizabeth. George Back was married in 1882 in Adelaide to Elizabeth Jane Powell (3). Unfortunately the Trove copy of this page is also hard to read but it seems to say “Death: Back. On the 1?0?th March, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Elizabeth, the beloved wife of George Back, of Smithfield, aged 56 years”. The Advertiser, Tuesday 14 March 1916 p6 (4). The “All Back” Birth Index looking for children with father George and mother Elizabeth Jane Powell shows that they had 8 children [1] Herriot Beck[sic ] b1883; [2] Arthur George Beck[sic] b1885; [3] Richard Percival Back b1886; [4] William Arthur Back b1888; [5] Charles Rueben Andrew Oliver Back b1890; [6] Alice Ann Back b1892; [7] Augusta May Back b1897; [8] Loveday Ellen Back b1901 (5). On the Town of Gawler website, Elizabeth Back aged 56 years who last resided at Smithfield was buried 11/03/1916 at Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 51 J 1, with Rev GT Arthur MA officiating (6). George Back aged 88 years who last resided at Smithfield was buried 30/10/1934 at Willaston Cemetery in the reopened Plot/Grave/Niche 51 J 1, with Rev Crossley officiating (7). Following the usual custom on those days of funerals the day after dying, these funeral dates indicate that the dates of death I’ve adopted are most likely accurate. Of course, a proper look at the memorial inscriptions would confirm this, but that is hard to do from my office in Gymea NSW. However, on the website of RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, it shows that George Back was born c1846 and died aged 88 yrs on 29 Oct 1934 Smithfield SA (this date matches that on the headstone). His father was John Back. George Back aged 26[sic] yrs, single was married in the Registry Office in Adelaide on the 25 July 1882 to Elizabeth Jane Powell aged 23 yrs, born 23 May 1859 in Hope Valley, single, father Charles Powell. Their children were [1] Harriet Back born 2 Nov 1883
Smithfield; [2] Arthur George Back born 15 Jun 1885 Golden Grove; [3] Richard Percival Back born 14 Nov 1886 Smithfield; [4] William Arthur Back born 10 Nov 1888 Smithfield; [5] Charles Rueben Andrew Oliver Back born 4 Nov 1890 Smithfield; [6] Alice Ann Back born 16 Aug 1892 Smithfield; [7] Augusta May Back born 13 Oct 1897 Smithfield; [8] Loveday Ellen Back born 5 Dec 1901 Smithfield (8), again all tallying with the information gleaned from GenealogySA above. Still on RootsWeb, Ralph Hearn Back was born on 6 Oct 1913 in Kadina SA to parents Samuel Back and Eva Catherine Tonkin (9). Samuel Back, who was born 2 Jul 1871 Stony Pinch SA to parents John Back (born c1828) and Elizabeth Foster (born c1835) (10), seems to have been the brother of the George Back described above. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/back_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFjaw==&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/975395?zoomLevel=1 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFjaw==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32165 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33067 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I331286 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I436168 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I288972 676 Jane Bailey died aged 74 years on 20 July 1933; her husband Thomas H Bailey died aged 79 years on 29 Sept 1933; their daughter Mabel Annie ?Bailey? died aged 45 years on 10 Nov 1935 (1). The Thomas Bailey Marriage Index shows that in the Port Gawler District in 1887 Thomas Henry Bailey married Jane Freeman (2). RootsWeb shows no suitable Thomas Henry Bailey born c1854, nor a Jane Freeman born c1859, but at least it shows that Mabel Annie Bailey was born on 18 Dec 1889 on Goose Island, Gawler SA to parents Thomas Henry Bailey and Jane Freeman (3). Presumably Thomas and Jane Bailey were not born in SA. According to the LDS website, Thomas Henry Bailey was born in 1851. He was married on 3 Mar 1887 in Gawler West to Jane Freeman, who was christened on the 28th Mar 1858 in Winfrith Newburgh, Dorset, England, and died 1933 SA (4), which isn’t a lot of information for LDS. My calculation on Thomas Henry’s birth if he was 79 years in 1933 puts his year of birth closer to 1853-54. And still on the LDS website, Jane Freeman was baptised on 28 Mar 1858 at Winfrith Newburgh, Dorset, England. Her parents were Thomas Freeman (born 15 Aug 1818 Sopley, Dorset, died 14 Jan 1893, Gawler) and Mary Allen (christened 29 Jul 1822 Winfrith Newburgh, Dorset, and died 21 Aug 1893 Gawler), who had married 3 Jul 1841 Winfrith Newburgh, Dorset (5). Jane dies: “Deaths: Bailey. On the 20th July, at his residence, No 11 Eighth street, Gawler South, Jane, the beloved wife of Thomas Henry Bailey and loved mother of Mabel, aged 74 years”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 27 July 1933 p39 (6). Thomas dies: “Deaths: Bailey. On the 29th September, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Thomas Henry Bailey, of No 11 Eighth street, Gawler South, the beloved father of Mabel, Aged 79 years. At rest”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 5 October 1933 p39 (7). Mabel dies: “Deaths: Bailey. On the 10th November at Gawler. Mabel Annie, daughter of the late Thomas and Jane Bailey, of 11 Eighth street. Gawler South, aged 45 years”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 14 November 1935 p25 (8). The ‘all Bailey’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Thomas Henry Bailey and Jane Freeman shows only one child Mabel Annie Bailey who was born 1889 (9). What we haven’t been able to do is to narrow down the actual birthdates of either Thomas Henry Bailey or Jane Bailey nee Freeman, and seeing their only child died 2 years after they did, most likely the family history died with them. Jane Freeman is also mentioned in Note 1083 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bailey_jane,_thomas_h_&_mabel_annie.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFpbGV5&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I288510 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I259256&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I150087&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90891528?searchTerm=thomas%20henry%20bailey&searchLimits=l-title=291 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90950941?searchTerm=thomas%20henry%20bailey&searchLimits=l-title=291 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92328195?searchTerm=Mabel%20Annie%20bailey&searchLimits=l-title=291 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFpbGV5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 677 James Scott Frisby died aged 62 yrs on 30 July 1948; his wife (Flo) Florence May Frisby died aged 75 yrs on 13 Jan 1963 (1), making their years of birth c1886 and c1888 respectively. The James Scott Frisby Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Port Gawler District in 1910, James Scott Frisby was married to Florence May Swann (2). The ‘all Frisby’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of James Scott Frisby and Florence May Swann shows the birth of at least 9 children [1] Florence Lena Frisby b1911 in the Port Gawler District; [2] Harold Frisby b1912 in the Port Gawler District; [3] Irene Frisby b1914 in the Port Gawler District; [4] Gordon James Frisby b1915 in the Port Gawler District; [5] Effie Frisby b1917 in the Port Gawler District; [6] Dorothy Frisby b1918 in Adelaide; [7] Frank Frisby b1920 in the Barossa District; [8] Keith Ross Frisby b1922 in the Port Gawler District; [9] Lloyd Thomas Frisby b1924 in the Port Gawler District (2). On a separate headstone, Harold Frisby died aged 71 yrs on 19 Sept 1984 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Harold Frisby was born on 13 Oct 1912 in Gawler to parents James Scott Frisby and Florence May Swann (4), James Scott Frisby was born on 27 Sep 1885 in Smithfield SA to parents William Frisby and Margaret Scott (5), and Florence May Swann was born Florance[sic] May Swann on 8 May 1887 in Gawler to parents Thomas Swann and Lena Ada Courtis (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/frisby_james_scott_&_florence_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/frisby_harold.jpg 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I508166 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I723964 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I365739 678 Emily Bain died aged 72 yrs on 9 Aug 1946, wife of Thomas William Bain who died aged 81 yrs on 8 July 1951 (1), making their years of birth c1874 and c1870 respectively. The Thomas Bain Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Thomas William Bain was married in 1894 to Emily Cundy in the Crawford District (2). On the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Thomas William Bain was not found, so he may not have been born in SA. Still using RootsWeb, Emily Cundy was found to have been born on 27 Jun 1874 in Williamstown SA to parents John Henry Cundy and Johanna Smith (3). According to the data on the LDS website, Thomas William Bain was born in 1870, with his father’s name being William Bain. Thomas William Bain aged 24 yrs was married on 24 Apr 1894 at the Methodist Church, Williamstown to Emily Cundy aged 20 yrs, who was born 27 Jun 1874 at Williamstown. Their first five children, all born in Gawler, included [1] Elsie Ina Bain born 15 Feb 1895; [2] Lottie Emily Bain born 27 Jul 1896; [3] Henry William Bain born 6 May
1898; [4] Laurence Walter Bain born 18 Jun 1900; [5] Linda Ellen Bain born 2 Jun 1902; [6+] at least 2 ‘Living’ Bain children (4). The ‘all Bain’ Birth Index seeking the names of the 2 ‘living’ Bain children born to parents Thomas William Bain and Emily Cundy shows the names of five more children, all born in the Port Gawler District [6] Edward Clifton Bain b1904; [7] Madge Maude Bain b1906; [8] Arthur Frank Bain b1908; [9] Hilda Joyce Bain b1910; [10] Alan Maxwell Bain b1913 (5). The Hilda Joyce Bain headstone cannot be seen as the link on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (6) is not working. The RootsWeb site confirms that Hilda Joyce Bain was born on 9 Mar 1910 in Gawler to parents Thomas William Bain and Emily Cundy (7). The father of Thomas William Bain: “William Bain (25 Jan 1852 - 25 May 1933): William Bain was christened on the 25 January 1852 at Alva, Stirlingshire, Scotland to parents John Bain and Margaret McLaren.William Bain came to Australia with his parents in 1855 when he was 2. William's father, John Bain, "a remarkably quiet, steady man" was killed within 3 years after arrival whilst at work on a property known as Glen Para when a log cross cut by him and another, rolled unexpectedly onto him as he ran to escape it. This must have had a serious effect on little William and the rest of the family. Many Bains reside in Williamstown still today and Jinny would often want to visit her relatives there. William Bain met Jane Pascoe. Jane fell pregnant with a child that was born on 30 January 1871. The child's name was Thomas William Bain. Thomas was born at Aldinga SA. William Bain married Jane Bain (nee Pascoe), aged 20, on the 23 April 1872 at the Dwelling House of the Rev. John Davidson, Pirie Street, Adelaide SA. They had the following children [1] Thomas William Bain born 30 January 1871 at Aldinga SA, died 1951; [2] John Bain born 6 February 1873 Victoria Creek SA, died September 1944; [3] James Bain born 11 November 1874 Williamstown SA; [4] Archibald Bain born 10 August 1876 Laura SA, Died 16 December 1955; [5] Louisa Bain born 4 July 1878 Stone Hut SA, married name Plester, died 7 August 1953; [6] Albert (Bert) Bain - Born 8 June 1880 at Tarcowie SA, married Sarah Jane Marriot; [7] Margaret Ann (Annie) Bain born 8 August 1882 Appila Tarcowie SA; [8] Keneth Henry MacDerwin Bain born 1 August 1884 Yarrowie SA, married Mary Ann Mead; [9] Percy Allen Bain born 8 September 1886 Appila Tarcowie; [10] Robert McLaren Bain born 7 July 1888 nr Williamstown SA; [11] Jane (Jinny) Bain born16 May 1890 Yatta Creek, Williamstown SA, died 30 Mar 1968; [12] Myrtle Ida (Ida) Bain born 9 October 1891 Yatta Creek, Williamstown; [13] Gilbert Pascoe Bain born 5 November 1892 Yatta Creek, Williamstown. In "The Advertiser" newspaper dated Thursday 25 May 1933 it states: "Bain: On the 24th May, at his residence, Wheaton Road, Plympton. William, beloved husband of the late Jane Bain aged 81 years. For ever with the Lord." William Bain died on the 25 May 1933 at Wheaton Road, Plympton, Adelaide SA. Posted 2nd November 2010 by Adelaide Girl (8). Thomas William dies: “Bain. On July 8 (suddenly), at his late residence, 20 Second street, Gawler South, Thomas William, beloved husband of the late Emily Bain, leaving five sons and four daughters. Aged 81 years.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 12 July 1951 p34 (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bain_emily_&_thomas_william.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFpbg==&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I244047 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I26772&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFpbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I437011 8 http://genealogyaustralia.blogspot.com.au/2010/11/william-bain-25-jan-1852-25-may-1933.html 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93858588?searchTerm=thomas%20william%20bain&searchLimits=l-decade=195 679 This headstone is very hard to read. Charles Fred Barker died 6 June 1943 aged 77 years; his wife Maria Caroline Barker died aged 81 years on 9 July 1949 (1), admittedly I relied on the transcription reported on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), but Charles Fred Barker’s year of death looks more like 1943, and not the 1946 stated on the “B” page. To make sure, a search using Trove reveals: “Deaths: Barker. On June 6 (suddenly), at his residence, 44 Eighth st, Gawler, Charles Fred, dearly beloved husband of Maria Caroline Barker, and loved father of Tom, Jack, Bill and Eileen. In his 78th year.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 10 June 1943 p10 (3). This confirms he died in 1943 not 1946, aged 77 years old. At RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, there are two Charles Fred Barker births. Charles Fred Barker was born 8 Nov 1863 in Middleton SA to parents John Barker and Eliza Ellis. Unhappily this Charles Fred Barker died on 20 Jul 1864 (4). Then the second Charles Fred Barker was born on 10 Jun 1865 in Middleton to the same parents John Barker and Eliza Ellis (5), and this is the subject of this research. The Charles Barker Marriage Index on GenealogySA shows that Charles Fred Barker was married in 1893 in the Encounter Bay District to Maria Caroline Estick (6). Back on RootsWeb, Maria Caroline Estick was born on 6 Sep 1867 in Hindmarsh Island SA to parents Charles Estick and Sarah Williams (7). “Barker. On July 9, at Gawler (suddenly), Maria Caroline, beloved wife of the late Charles Fred Barker, formerly of Wasleys, and loved mother of Tom, Jack, Eileen and Bill. Aged 81 years.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 14 July 1949 p32 (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barker_charles_fred_&_maria_caroline.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92368226?searchTerm=Barker%20Charles%20Fred&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I293045 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I293046 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFya2Vy&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I678245 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93218806?searchTerm=Charles%20Fred%20Barker&searchLimits= 680 John Charles Barker was born 26 Aug 98 and died 9 Oct 75, husband of Gertrude Clare Barker (1). When you look at the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, we’re told that he was born (1998) 23 years after he died (1975), but clearly that’s a mistake, and he really was born in 1898, not 1998 (2). Gertrude Clare Barker was born on 28 June 1902 and died 14 July 1992, wife of John Charles (3). The John Barker Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that John Charles Barker was married in 1937 in the Port Adelaide District to Gertrude Clare Biscombe (4). Just to cross-check on RootsWeb, Gertrude Clare Biscombe was born 28 Jun 1902 in Clare SA to parents Arthur John Biscombe and Rose Agnes Hutchins (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barker_john_charles.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barker_gertrude_clare.jpg 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFya2Vy&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I307299 681 Mr James F Martin was born in 1821. His father had died some months before James, youngest of seven, was born. The impoverished family lived in a village called Foundry, in the Parish of Stithians, Cornwall. The village got its name from a small foundry that had been established by James’ maternal grandfather, Mr John Bryant, and it was here that James learned his trade. James came to SA due to poor
health, he suffered from asthma, an occupational hazard in the foundry business. He arrived in SA in 1847, and worked for Mr Ridley, the inventor of the reaper / stripper. He and his wife started out for Gawler on 1848-06-15 by dray. In The Gawler of Today, The Critic Souvenir, Special Number, September 1906 (1). 1 https://www.flickr.com/photos/gawler_history/7344862500/in/set-72157633499321215/ 682 Gladys Beard died 18 Feb 1993; wife of Horace Beard; mother and (?stepmother ?mother-in-law) of John and ??? (1). Unfortunately for us, a floral tribute covers her other details, including age at death. An “all Beard” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Edward Murray Beard aged 78y and Mavis Anna Beard aged 71y on the Burial Register, but no sign of Gladys Beard. There are Memorial Inscriptions for Edward Murray (Ted) Beard who died 1991; Mavis Anna (Toots) Beard who died 1993; and Gladys Beard, but with no date or age at death (2). There is no Edward Beard Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so a search on Trove shows: Ted and Toots get wed: Approaching Marriages: Lane -Beard. The marriage of Mavis, only daughter of Mr and Mrs E Lane, of Sandy Creek, to Edward, only son of Mrs M Beard and the late Mr H Beard, of Parkside, will be solemnised at St Augustine's Church, Unley, on July 4, at 6.30 pm.” The Advertiser, Saturday 4 July 1942 p10 (3). To check that our info is correct, a search on RootsWeb shows that Edward Murray Beard was born on 23 Jan 1913 in Adelaide to parents Henry Edward Beard and Myrtle May Hopkins (4), and Mavis Anna Lane was born on 24 Feb 1922 at Sandy Creek SA to parents Edward Lane and Anna Henrietta Doreathea Eggers Gneil (5). These birth dates matches those on the headstones. An “all Beard” search at GenealogySA’s Birth Index shows that Henry Edward Beard and Myrtle May Hopkins had only the 2 children [1] Sadie Adelaide Beard b1911 { father Edward Henry Beard}; [2] Edward Murray Beard b1913 {father Henry Edward Beard} (6), and not a Horace Beard in sight. We are no better off in finding out more about Gladys Beard and her husband Horace. In fact, a Horace Beard search across all modalities on Genealogy SA shows just one mention: a death notice at Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser noting Horace (Jack) Beard’s death also in 1993 (7), but no mention as to where he’s buried, and the same goes for Gladys. I’ve done multiple searches on Trove across all States of Oz, with little to show except that maybe Horace was called Jack, maybe in the AIF in WWII, but not as Horace, Jack or John 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/beard_gladys.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmVhcmQ=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48873308?searchTerm=Edward%20Beard%20Mavis&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I442891 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I568536 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmVhcmQ=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QmVhcmQ=&g=SG9yYWNl&c=&y=&r=MA== 683 Melva E Behenna (1917-2008) is all the information on this headstone apart from the fact she had family (1), despite being the only Behenna noted on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery. There are 2 Behen names however, that may be related (2). The Melva Behenna search at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser have Melva Edna Behenna’s notice in 2008 (3). There is no other mention of Melva Behenna on GenealogySA under that name. A Trove search of Melva Behenna reveals quite a few children: [1] Alan Behenna: “Behenna (nee Melva Lindner). On the 28th of February, at Crystal Brook Hospital, to Mr and Mrs HA Behenna—a son. Thanking Dr Kendrew, Matron Combe and staff.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 5 March 1941 p8 (4); [2] Roger Winston Behenna “Behenna: On April 18. to Melva and Bert (RAAF) —a son (Roger Winston). Thanking Dr Kendrew and staff of Crystal Brook Hospital.“ The Advertiser, Thursday 7 May 1942 p8 (5); [3] Bruce Russell Behenna: “Behenna (nee Lindner) —On May 20, to Melva and Bert—a son Bruce Russell). Thanking Dr Betts and staff of Jamestown Hospital.” The Advertiser, Thursday 19 June 1947 p16 (6); [4] Dianne Behenna: “Behenna (nee Lindner). On June 11, to Melva and Bert —a daughter (Dianne). Thanks to Dr North and staff of Crystal Brook Hospital.” The Advertiser, Saturday 19 June 1948 p12 (7), but unfortunately baby Dianne dies asfter a week: ““Behenna: On June 18, at Crystal Brook Hospital, Dianne, darling babe of Melva and Bert, sister of Elaine, Alan, Roger and Bruce. Safe in the arms of Jesus.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 1 July 1948 p38 (8); [5] Julie Behenna: “Behenna (nee Lindner): At Crystal Brook Hospital, on January 19, to Melva and Bert —a daughter (Julie).” The Advertiser, Thursday 25 January 1951 p18 (9); [6] Denise Behenna: “Behenna (nee Lindner): On September 30, at Crystal Brook, to, Melva and Bert— a daughter (Denise).” The Advertiser, Friday 17 October 1952 p18 (10). There was also another child not picked up on the newspaper searches: Elaine Behenna, who was actually the first of the 7 children born (8). None of these appear on the GenealogySA website, which is much the same as their parents. Assuming Bert is short for Herbert, and Melva was married to Bert (or Mr HA Behenna), a search on the Herbert Behenna Birth Index shows that the only HA Behenna was Herbert Alfred Behenna born in 1918 to parents Herbert George Behenna and Jane May Michael in the Clare District (11). Further assuming that the gap in births during the WW2 years may mean that Bert was away in the military, a search on WW2 Nominal Roll reveals the Service Record of Herbert Alfred Behenna. He was born at Crystal Brook on 14 Jun 1918 and enlisted in the RAAF 31 Mar 1942 at Prospect, Adelaide, naming Melva Behenna as his next of kin. He was a sergeant when discharged on 5 Dec 1945 (12). The Herbert Behenna search at South Australia Cemeteries shows that Herbert Alfred Behanna[sic] died aged 65 years in 1983 and is buried in Crystal Brook Cemetery (13). A check on SA birth information on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Melva Edna Lindner was born on 31 Aug 1917 in Wilmington to parents George Edward Lindner and Ida Alma Zwar (14). A search on the Savill Index which is a table of Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser shows that Melva Edna Behenna appeared on 22 Feb 2008 (15), so we can at least assume she died in February 2008, making her 90 yrs old when she died 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/behenna_melva_e..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QmVoZW5uYQ==&g=TWVsdmE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47854082?searchTerm=Melva%20Behenna&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48865043?searchTerm=Melva%20Behenna&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35982689?searchTerm=Melva%20Behenna&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43771531?searchTerm=Melva%20Behenna&searchLimits= 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93187807?searchTerm=Melva%20Behenna&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45692532?searchTerm=Melva%20Behenna&searchLimits= 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47404577?searchTerm=Melva%20Behenna&searchLimits= 11 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmVoZW5uYQ==&g=SGVyYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 12 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=R&VeteranId=896029 13 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmVoZW5uYQ==&g=SGVyYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 14 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I574558 15 www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html
684 Heather R Bergen died aged 6 months on 21 April 1963; Brenton W Bergen died aged 12 years on 6 Nov 1967 (1). Are they siblings, or cousins, to share one half of a headstone, the other side still blank? There’s no clue as to parents on the headstone. The the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery names Heather F Bergen as Heather R Bergen (2), understandable when the dot after the “F”, making a possible “R”. The parent question is answered by the Heather Bergen Death Index on GenealogySA which says when Heather Fay Bergen died in 1963, it was her father Malcolm Allen Laurence Bergen from Gawler who was her nominated relative (3), and when Brenton Wayne Bergen died in 1967, the same Malcolm Allen Laurence Bergen was nominated, but this time he was living in Adelaide (4). Heather and Brenton were siblings. The “All Bergen” Birth Index shows that Malcolm Allan Lawrence Bergen was the youngest of 10 children born to mother consistently called Agnes Amy Chapman but father’s first names used will be shown in brackets: [1] Herbert Mayo Bergen b1907 (Ernst Heinrich Albert); [2] Doreen Linorma Bergen b1909 (Ernest Heinrich Albert); [3] Doreen Linorma Bergen b1910 (Ernst Heinrich Albert); [4] Mary Bergen b1911 (Ernst Heinrich Albert); [5] Eva Melba Bergen b1913 (Ernest Heinrich Albert); [6] Annie Bergen b1917 (Ernest Heinrich Albert); [7] Harold Lindsay Milo Bergen b1922 (Albert Ernest); [8] John Albert Leonard Bergen b1923 (Ernest Henrich Albert); [9] Gwenda Beryl May Bergen b1925 (Albert Ernst); [10] Malcolm Allan Lawrence Bergen b1928 (Ernest Heinrich Albert) (5). The Agnes Chapman Birth Index shows that Agnes Amea[sic] Chapman was b1884 to parents Thomas Chapman and Anne Schwertz in the Gilbert District (6). Before her marriage the Amea had been changed to Amy: the Agnes Chapman Marriage Index shows that in 1906, Agnes Amy Chapman married Ernest Heinrich Albert Bergen in the Port Gawler District (7). Agnes Amy’s father was found on the LDS website: Thomas Chapman was born 7 Apr 1857 Morphett Vale, and he died 18 Jun 1920 SA. His parent’s were William Chapman and Harriet Cook (b1827, died 3 May 1882 nr Hamley Bridge). Thomas Chapman was a dairy farmer and was married 31 Jan 1883 Pinkerton Plains SA to Cornelia Johanne Schwerdt born 26 May 1865 nr Kapunda SA and died 25 Sep 1945 Gawler {This seems to have been Anglicised to [Joh]Anne Schwertz}. Cornelia Johanne Schwerdt was born to parents Robert Heinrich Ewald Schwertz and and Louise Pauline Augte Scholz. Thomas and ‘Anne’ Chapman resided variously in Hamley Bridge, Bower, Linwood, Gawler, Cummins. Their children included [1] Agnes Amea Bergen nee Chapman born 15 Jun 1884 Hamley Bridge, d1953; [2] Susannah Harriet Modistach nee Chapman b 26 Oct 1885 Hamley Bridge; [3] Robert William Chapman born 25 Feb 1887 Hamley Bridge; [4] Thomas William Chapman born 4 Jul 1888 Pinkerton Plains, d1971; [5] Robert George Chapman born 2 Mar 1890 Pinkerton Plains, d1963; [6] Inez Effie Winckel nee Chapman born 15 Nov 1892 Bower SA; [7] Louisa Victoria Hughes nee Chapman born 13 Jun 1894 Bower, d1955; [8] Minnie Myrtle Cameron nee Chapman born 20 Oct 1895 Bower, d1951; [9] Alfred Richard Chapman born 8 Oct 1903 nr Freeling (8).

There is some foliage obscuring the left side of the headstone and the balance is not symmetrical to be Elma as appears on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), so it probably is Thelma or Delma instead. The ‘All Bergen’ search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Delma Olive Bergen aged 75 years, which fits (3). The Malcolm Allan Lawrence Bergen discussed in Note 684 had an older brother named Harold Lindsay Milo Bergen b1922, and it seems very likely that this is Delma Bergen’s husband. In fact, the Advertiser, Thursday 25 March 1948 p10 reports: “Greening—Bergen. The marriage of Delma, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs Greening, of Gawler South, to Harold Milo, third son of Mr and Mrs A Bergen, of Gawler, will be solemnised at St George's Church, Gawler, Saturday, March 27, at 5.30 pm” (4). The Mr and Mrs A Bergen mentioned here is no doubt Mr and Mrs Ernst Heinrich Albert Bergen, with him using Albert first, as discussed in Note 684. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bergen_delma_olive.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmVyZ2Vu&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43760975?searchTerm=Bergen%20Harry%20Milo%20Delma&searchLimits= 686 Henriette KC Bischof (21 April 1834 – 2 July 1888) (1); Hermann Bischof (21 June 1825 – 28 April 1908) (2); Sophie WC Bischof (22 March 1860 – 3 June 1883) (3). On the LDS website, Hermann Bischoff[sic] was born 21 Jun 1825 Bierden Achim, Hanover, Germany and died 26 Apr 1908 Spring Gully SA, buried in Willaston. He came to SA 1847 on the Hermann von Beckerath. He was a Lutheran miller, farmer, landowner, residing Spring Gully, O'Halloran Hill, Pt Adelaide. Hermann Bischof was married 7 Apr 1854 Angas Park SA to Henrietta Caroline Katharina Lange, born 21 Apr 1834 Mecklenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany to parents Matthias Christian Jacob Lange and Sophia Freundt, and died 2 Jul 1888 Spring Gully SA. Their children were: [1] Martin Henry Bischoff born 13 Feb 1855 nr Gawler, and died 23 May 1928; [2] Dietrich Charles Bischoff born 9 Apr 1856 SA; [3] George William Bischoff born 22 Feb 1858 Barossa, and died 5 Oct 1939 King Island, Tasmania; [4] Sophia Wilhelmina Carolina Bischoff born 2[sic] Mar 1860 nr Gawler, and died 3 June 1883 Spring Gully; [5] Hermann Bischoff born 11 Jan 1864 South Para SA, and died 1957; [6] Dora Burton nee Bischoff born 15 Mar 1867 Barossa, and died 9 Oct 1955 Norwood; [7] Charlie Bischoff born 14 Dec 1868 Barossa, died 1957 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bischof_henriette_k.c..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bischof_hermann.jpg 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bischof_sophie_w.c..jpg 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I193753&tree=SouthAustralia 687 Bronislaw Blige was born in Poland 30 Nov 1907 and died in Adelaide ?? Sept 1998?0?; his wife Deoniza Blige was born in Poland 4 March 1912 and died Adelaide 12 July 2??? (1). The “All Blige” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Bronislaw Blige Memorial Inscription with the year 1990 (2), but no sign of a Deoniza Blige. The “All Blige” search at Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser has Bronislaw (Bruno) Blige in 1990, Deoniza (Donna) Blige in 2000 and Alfred (Fred) Blige in 2010 (3). The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices has the one for Bronislaw (Bruno) Blige on 1990-09-24 and for Deoniza (Donna) Blige on 2000-07-14 (4). This at least confirms that the headstone is correct in saying Bruno died in September 1990, not January as the notes say, and it also confirms Donna’s date of death 2 days before the funeral. I would guess that Bruno died on or about the 22 September 1990, but cannot use this date without confirmation. Had the photographer moved the flowers or at least recorded what was behind the flowers, it would make it all much easier.

The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery gives his name as “Bernhar” (2), but the headstone appears to say “R. Bernhard Boehm”, admittedly the final “D” is only a faint trace, but then, so is the “M” and half the “m” in “Memory”. The “all Boehm” search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Memorial Inscriptions for Raelene Faith Boehm but no dates or age; Vanda Flora Boehm who died aged 53 years in 1948; and Bernhard Boehm who died aged 82y in 1971 (3). Even they seem to have missed the initial “R”. A search of Bernhard Boehm on the LDS website shows Reinhold Bernhard Boehm, who was born 10 Jul 1888 Sutherlands SA, to parents Carl Gottfried Boehm (born 22 Jul 1852 Langmeil SA, died 8 Feb 1947 SA) and Christina Ernstine Schille (born 23 Sep 1853 Tentschel, Liegnitz, Silesia, Prussia, and died 29 Jan 1941 SA). His parents were married on 26 Nov 1874 in Lights Pass SA (4). The Reinhold Boehm Marriage Index shows that Reinhold Bernhard Boehm was married in 1917 to Vanda Flora Mattschoss in the Kapunda District (5). The ‘all Mattschoss’ Birth Index shows that in 1895 Flora Amanda Mattschoss to parents Carl August Heinrich Mattschoss and Ernstina Obst in the Angaston District (6). Back on the LDS website, Carl August Heinrich Mattschoss was born 1 Oct 1859 Head of Nuriootpa SA. His parents were Johann Christoph Mattschoss (born 17 Apr 1829 Schwarmitz, Prussia, and died 9 Jun 1915 Greenock SA) and Johanne Louise Egel (born 19 May 1833 Brandenberg, Prussia). Carl August Heinrich Mattschoss, a farmer living at Stonefield, was married 5 Feb 1894 Lights Pass to Pauline Ernstine Obst (born 28 Jul 1874 Lights Pass SA to parents Heinrich August and Johanne Dorothea Schulz). Their children included [1] Flora Amanda Mattschoss born 21 Apr 1895 Steinfeld SA; [2] Carl Heinrich Mattschoss born 9 Apr 1897 Stockwell; [3] Herbert Ernst Mattschoss born 16 Apr 1903 Lights Pass, and died 5 Jun 1904 Allendale North SA; [4] at least one “Living” daughter (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/boehm_vanda_flora_&_bernhar.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Qm9laG0=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I35391&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qm9laG0=&g=UmVpbmhvbGQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TWF0dHNjaG9zcw==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I98720&tree=SouthAustralia Val Bohnsack (7 March 1925 – 1 May 1998); her husband Alan Bohnsack (4 Nov 1926 – 4 July 1979) (1). The ‘all Bohnsack’ Birth Index shows Alan Meyer Bohnsack was born in 1926 to parents Henry Meyer Bohnsack and Edith Annie Cant in the Gilbert District (2). According to the LDS website, Henry Meyer Bohnsack was born 28 Jan 1884 in Bismark SA, to parents Friedrich Heinrich Johann Christian Bohnsack and Adelaide Elizabeth Meyer. Henry Meyer Bohnsack was married 21 Jul 1909 in Hamley Bridge to Edith Anne Cant born 12 Sep 1882 Second Valley SA (3). A search of Alan Bohnsack at Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser confirms Alan M Bohnsack died in 1979 (4). There’s nothing else by this name at Genealogy SA. A search of V Bohnsack at Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser confirms Val Bohnsack died in 1998 (5), but there’s no other mention at Genealogy SA. “Hansen—Bohnsack. The engagement is announced of Valma Dawn, only child of Mr GA Hansen and the late Mrs Hansen, of Roseworthy, to Alan Meyer, youngest son of Mr and Mrs HM Bohnsack, of Hectorville” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 21 March 1946 p18 (6). The Valma Hansen Birth Index confirms Valmai[sic] Dawn Hansen born in 1925 to parents George Albert Hansen and Margaret Louisa Buchanan in the Port Adelaide District (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bohnsack_val_&_alan.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Qm9obnNhY2s=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I190719&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Qm9obnNhY2s=&g=QWxhbg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Qm9obnNhY2s=&g=Vg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93152549?searchTerm=Alan%20Bohnsack%20Val&searchLimits= 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SGFuc2Vu&g=VmFsbWE=&c=&y=&r=MA== Edward A Bond died aged 63 years on 31 Oct 1952; his wife Caroline Ellen Bond died aged 65 years on 10 Feb 1959 (1). The Edward Bond search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Edward Arthur Bond on the Burial Register, with the Memorial Inscription confirming that Edward A Bond died aged 63y in 1952 (2). “Death: Bond. On October 31 (suddenly), at his late residence. Willaston, Edward Arthur (Ted), beloved husband of Caroline Ellen, and loved father of Mary, Audry, Clarice and John. Aged 63 years”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 6 November 1952 p38 (3). The ‘all Bond’ Birth Index searching for children of Edward Arthur Bond and Caroline Ellen, shows four children born to mother Caroline Ellen Brightman: [1] Mary Lilian Bond b1921; [2] Audrey Ethel Bond b1922; [3] Clarice Irene Bond b1925; [4] John Edward Bond b1927 (4). These names exactly match the names the children of Edward Arthur Bond in his newspaper death notice. Neither Edward Arthur Bond nor Caroline Ellen Brightman appear on the SA birth register on RootsWeb, nor on the LDS data. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bond_edward_a_&_caroline_ellen.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Qm9uZA==&g=RWR3YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93928724?searchTerm=Caroline%20Ellen%20Edward%20Bond&searchLimits= 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Qm9uZA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Benjamin Benford Bond died aged 28 yrs on 10 Feb 1876; his wife Emma Bond died aged 65 years on 19 Sept 1911 (1). Two of their children: [1] Arthur Benjamin Benford Bond died aged 24 yrs on 7 June 1896; [2] Amelia Bond died aged 52 yrs on 11 April 1920 (2). On the LDS website, Benjamin Benford Bond was born c1842 in Somerset, England and died 10 Feb 1873 SA. Benjamin Benford Bond’s father was John Bond. Benjamin arrived in SA in 1862 aboard the Sir John Lawrence, his occupation was a Gawler labourer and gardener. Benjamin was married on 12 Jul 1866 in Gawler to Emma Chapman or Chaplin born c1842 and died 19 Sep 1911 Gawler. Benjamin Benford and Emma Bond’s children included [1] Amelia Bond born 19 Apr 1867 Bassett; [2] Emily Louisa Bond born 26 Dec 1869 Gawler, died 9 Jul 1960 Woodville SA; [3] Arthur Benjamin Benford Bond born 21 May 1872 Gawler, died 7 Jun 1896 Gawler (3). The headstone clearly says that Benjamin Benford Bond died aged 28 yrs on 10 Feb 1876, but the LDS data says 10 Feb 1873. The Benjamin Bond Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Benjamin Benford Bond died in the Grey District in 1873 (4), and not when it says on the headstone, but I cannot find a newspaper death notice to corroborate this. Unfortunately I cannot access the Burial Register of Gawler Council at present, which would have been useful to date his burial. On her Marriage Notice, Emma’s maiden name was spelt Chaplen: “Marriage. Bond—Chaplen. On the 12th July, by licence, at the Congregational Chapel, Gawler, by the Rev CJ Evans, Mr Benjamin Bond, to Miss

Emma Chaplen, both of Gawler”. South Australian Register, Wednesday 25 July 1866 p2 (5), although on the ‘all Bond’ Birth Index at GenealogySA where her three children’s births are recorded, her surname is twice spelt ‘Chaplin’ and once as ‘Chapman’ (6). Emma’s Death Notice: “Death: Bond. On September 19th, at her residence, Gawler West, in her 66th year, Emma, relict of the late Benjamin Bond, and beloved mother of Miss A Bond, Gawler, Mrs Johncock, Orroroo, and the late Mr A Bond.” Bunyip, Previous issue Friday 22 September 1911 p2 (7). Arthur Benjamin Bond’s Death Notice: “Death: Bond. On the 7th June, at Gawler West, Arthur Benjamin, dearly beloved son of Emma and the late Benjamin Bond, of Gawler, in his 24th year.” Bunyip, Friday 12 June 1896 p2 (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bond_benjamin_benford_&_emma.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bond_arthur_benjamin_benford_&_amelia.jpg 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I125139&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Qm9uZA==&g=QmVuamFtaW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/41031989?searchTerm=Benjamin%20Bond&searchLimits= 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Qm9uZA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97567430?searchTerm=Benjamin%20Bond&searchLimits=l-title=371 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97575898?searchTerm=Benjamin%20Bond&searchLimits=l-title=371 DC Boomer (6 Jul 1925 – 1 Jan 1965) has an RAAF memorial headstone (1). The WW2 Nominal Roll has the DC Boomer Service Record which says that LAC Douglas Clayton Boomer served in the Royal Australian Air Force from 12 Aug 1943 until 22 Jan 1947. He was born 6 Jul 1925 in Gawler and his next of kin was Cecil Boomer (2). The second entry for Douglas Clayton Boomer says that he died aged 39 years on 1 Jan 1965, accidentally drowned (3). For my purposes I have combined the two lines into one entry, although I can imagine that a website showing headstone photos may wish to retain an entry for each one. Turning to the SA births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Douglas Clayton Boomer is confirmed as being born on 6 Jul 1925 in Gawler, and his parents were Cecil John Clayton Boomer and Amy Evelyn Couche (4). Still using RootsWeb data, Cecil John Clayton Boomer was born on 17 Feb 1905 in Williamstown SA to parents Hurtle Alexander Boomer and Yatta Adams (5). Hurtle Alexander Boomer has the initials HA, and is likely the HA Boomer buried here. HA (Bert) Boomer died 7 Aug 1964, but on the photo, his age is obscured by a floral tribute; his wife Yatta Boomer died aged 82 years 25 Dec 1965 (6). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery tells us that Bert was 86 years old when he died (7). The ‘H Boomer’ search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription saying that HA (Bert) Boomer died aged 88 years in 1964 and the Burial Register names him Hurtle Alexander Boomer (8). Back on RootsWeb, Hurtle Alexander Boomer was born on 26 Nov 1877 at Williamstown SA to parents John Boomer and Eliza Gower (9). Yatta Adams was born Yatta Adams was born on 8 Feb 1883 at Yatta Creek SA to parents John Adams (born c1839) and Dinah Smith (born c1840) (10). By way of confirmation, the LDS website says that Hurtle Alexander Boomer was born on 26 Nov 1877 at Williamstown SA (confirming his age at death of 86 years). His father was John Charles Boomer (b1848 Dumfries, Scotland and died 2 Dec 1891 Wilcannia NSW), who was married 6 Jan 1869 SA to Eliza Gower (b1847 Biddenden, Kent, England and died 19 Apr 1937 Williamstown SA). Hurtle Alexander Boomer was married on 17 Feb 1904 in Gawler to Yatta Blanche Adams born 8 Feb 1883 Yatta Creek SA (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/boomer_d.c..jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=R&veteranId=979433 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/boomer_douglas_clayton.jpg 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I450355 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I311412 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/boomer_h.a._%28bert%29_&_yatta.jpg 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Qm9vbWVy&g=SA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I311418 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I535296 11 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I219082&tree=SouthAustralia Victoria Evelyn Boyle, wife of Bill, died aged 82 yrs on 22 Nov 1997; she shares a headstone with Bruce Victor Johns, the husband of Evelyn, father of Jack, David, Pam, Ken and Michael who was accidentally killed aged 51 yrs on 20 Mar 1965 (1). Maybe Victoria Evelyn Boyle, wife of Bill Boyle, was previously married to Bruce Victor Johns, who had a wife called Evelyn? The Bruce Johns Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Bruce Victor Johns was born in the Hindmarsh District in 1913 to parents Arthur Edward Le Couteur Johns and Alice McInnes (2). Unfortunately Bruce Johns has no Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so we must look elsewhere such as newspaper notices to find his wife’s name. Victoria Evelyn Buckby was married to Bruce Victor Johns: “Approaching Marriages: Buckby—Johns. The marriage of Victoria Evelyn, only child of Mr and the late Mrs M Buckby, of Prospect, to Bruce Victor, second son of Mr and Mrs A Johns, of Black Forest, will be solemnised at Prospect North Methodist Church, on Saturday, 14th of October, at 7.30pm.” The Advertiser, Thursday 12 October 1939 p8 (3). Now we know her maiden name, we can use the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people to show Victoria Evelyn Buckby was born 24 Jan 1915 in Gawler to parents Morton Buckby and Victoria Speck (4). Clearly Victoria Evelyn Johns nee Buckby married Bill Boyle after the death of her first husband, although as it was after 1965 it is too recent to show up on my websites 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/boyle_victoria_evelyn.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Sm9obnM=&g=QnJ1Y2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/49818923?searchTerm=%22Bruce%20Victor%22%20Johns%20Evelyn&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I458683 James Herbert Bowden died at Gawler aged 61 years on 27 July 1938 (1). The James Bowden Birth Index shows that James Herbert Bowden was born in 1877 to parents John Bowden and Emma Frape in the Burra District (2). The LDS website tells us that James Herbert Bowden was born 19 May 1877 Lower Wakefield SA. His father was John Bowden b1847, and his mother was Emma Freap or Frape b1853, and died 10 Feb 1910 Adelaide, who had married 4 Dec 1873 SA (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bowden_james_herbert.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Qm93ZGVu&g=SmFtZXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I201993&tree=SouthAustralia Judith A Bowen died aged 48 years on 23 Jan 1998 (1); her husband Raymond (Ray) W Bowen died aged 63 years on 3 July 2008; parents of Stephen and Jason (2).

His parents were John Bowhey (christened 8 May 1814 Yealmpton, Devon, died 29 Jul 1862 Hindmarsh SA) and Maria Lapthorne (born c1818 Ermington, Devon, England, and died 5 Sep 1903 Modbury SA). The family arrived in SA 1854 on the Sir Edward Parry. John was a farmer who had resided in Kilkenny and at Kangaroo Flat. John Bowhey was married on 15 Sep 1870 Tam O'Shanter Belt SA to Elizabeth Day (born 30 Sep 1843 on Section 411 SA to parents Richard Day and Mary Ann Harris, and died 14 Jun 1929 Kangaroo Flat). Their children included [1] Maria Elizabeth Goodall nee Bowhey born 6 Jan 1872 Kilkenny SA; [2] Ada Florence Shepherd nee Bowhey born 30 May 1873 Torrens Road SA, and died 1945 SA; [3] Elisa Albertina Steed nee Bowhey born 30 May 1875 SA: [4] Walter John Bowhey born 30 Oct 1878 Woodville, died 1948 SA; [5] Richard Day Bowhey born 19 Jun 1882 Kangaroo Flat, died 1950 SA; [6] Clarice Euphemia Mary Ann Powell nee Bowhey born 6 Apr 1889 Kangaroo Flat (2). The ‘all Bowhey’ Marriage Index shows that Walter John Bowhey was married twice, firstly to Bertha Lillian Davey in 1909; then to Ida Grace Pritchard in 1932, both marriages were in Adelaide (3). Interestingly the Bertha Bowhey Marriage Index shows that Bertha Lillian Bowhey also remarried in 1932, this time to Allan Finla Battye (4). Ida Grace dies 1949: “Death: Bowhey. On June 3, Ida Grace, dearly beloved wife of the late Walter John Bowhey, of 112 Allinga avenue, Glenunga (late of Klemzig). Aged 59 years”. The Mail (Adelaide), Saturday 4 June 1949 p27 (5). I cannot find Ida Grace Pritchard amongst the SA births on RootsWeb, and it is possible that she also had been married before with Pritchard as a former surname but not her maiden name 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bowhey_john,_elizabeth,_walter_john_&_ida_grace.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I167390&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qm93aGV5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qm93aGV5&g=QmVydGhh&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/55922642?searchTerm=Ida%20Grace%20Bowhey&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices John Branson died aged 80 years on ?31 Aug 1938; Caroline Branson died aged 88 years on 8 June 1950 (1). The first thing will be to check the death dates as the headstone is quite weathered. His: “Death: Branson. On the 31st of August, at his residence, 56 Eighth street. Gawler South, John, the beloved husband of Caroline Branson, aged 80 years. Victorian papers please copy.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 8 September 1938 p28 (2). Hers: “Death: Branson. On June 8, Caroline Branson, of 56 Eighth St, Gawler South, beloved wife of the late John Branson, in her 88th year.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 15 June 1950 p38 (3). So they are correct. According to the LDS website, John Branson was born in 1859. He was married on 5 Nov 1885 at Dalkey SA to Caroline English, born 1864. Their children included [1] Lily May Branson born 23 Aug 1886 Dalkey; [2] Annie Beatrice Branson born 7 Sep 1898 Riverton; [3] Stanley Gilbert Branson born 21 Nov 1900 Riverton, and died 20 Jul 1902 Riverton; [4] at least one more called “Living” (4). The John Branson Birth Index shows he was born in 1858 to parents Charles Branson and Fanny Donally in the Barossa District (5). The John Branson Marriage Index at GenealogySA confirms his 1885 marriage to Caroline English in the Gilbert District (6). There’s no mention of Caroline English at GenealogySA except for her 1885 marriage. “Branson— English. On the 5th November, at the bridegroom's residence, by licence, by the Rev T Billman, Mr John Branson, to Miss Caroline English, both of Dalkey.” South Australian Register, Tuesday 10 November 1885 p4 (6). Turning to the SA births data at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, John Branson was born on 13 Mar 1858 in Hd of Nuriootpa SA to parents Charles Branson and Fanny Donally (7), but Caroline English doesn’t appear on RootsWeb (8). Caroline’s father was James English, and she had siblings: “Golden Weddings: Branson— English. On the 5th November, 1885, at Dalkey, at the bridegroom's home, by the Rev Thomas Hillman, John, second son of the late Charles Branson, to Caroline, eldest daughter of the late James English. Present address: Angle Vale road, Gawler. Mr and Mrs Branson celebrated their golden wedding at the home of their daughter at Lyndoch on November 5, 1935.” The Advertiser, Tuesday 5 November 1935 p16 (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/branson_john_&_caroline.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92421739?searchTerm=John%20Branson&searchLimits= 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93777835?searchTerm=John%20Branson&searchLimits= 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I222712&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJhbnNvbg==&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44540649?searchTerm=Caroline%20English&searchLimits= 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I317390 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=192386 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36194260?searchTerm=caroline%20english%20Dalkey&searchLimits= Ern Brealey died aged 50 years on 25 July 1958; his wife Gwen Brealey died aged 64 years on 9 July 1981 (1). This headstone is very difficult to decipher and I’ve had to rely on what’s written on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, especially for Ern’s inscription (2). Unfortunately for us, searching Trove for newspaper death notices is not an option, as they stop in 1954. On the Savill Index [only from 1971 onwards], there is a Gwendoline Mary Brealey’s funeral notice in the Advertiser for 1988-0323, but this is the wrong month and year for Gwen who died July 1981 (3). The ‘all Brealey’ search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Ernest Edward Brealey on the Burial Register, and Memorial Inscriptions for Ern Brealey died aged 50y in 1958; and for Gwen Brealey who died aged 64y in 1981 (4). The Ernest Brealey Birth Index shows that Ernest Edward Brealey was born in 1908 to parents Francis John Brealey and Lilla Harriet Emily Stephens in Adelaide (5), but there’s no Ernest Brealey Marriage Index. In fact, I cannot find any mention on Trove of his wedding, but found: “Brealey (nee Cubitt). On December 25, to Gwen, wife of EE Brealey, a daughter (Janice).” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 1 January 1942 p14 (6). Now we know her maiden name, we can find her date of birth. Turning to the SA births list on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people we find that Ernest Edward Brealey was born on 15 Jun 1908 in Parkside, Adelaide to parents Francis John Brealey and Lilla Harriet Emily Stephens (7), and Gwendoline Elma Cubitt was born on 24 Aug 1916 in North Unley to parents Thomas Lancelot Cubitt and Ruby Elma Balchin (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brealey_ern_&_gwen.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html

The Johann Bretag Marriage Index shows that in 1909, Johann Christian Bretag married Louise Ida Pobke in the Norwood District (2). The Ida Pobke Birth Index shows that Ida Louise Popke was born in 1887 to parents August Popke and Emilie Bormann in the Talunga District (3). On the LDS website, Louise Ida Pobke was born in 1887; her father was August Pobke. Louise Ida Pobke was married on 13 Oct 1909 St Peters SA to John Christian Bretag born 22 May 1866 nr Oakbank SA. John was 43 years old, she was 22 years old (4). Searching the SA Births at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people tells us that Ida Louise Pobke was born Ida Louise Popke on 2 Sep 1887 in Milendella SA to parents August Popke and Emilie Bormann (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bretag_joahnn_christian_&_ida_louise.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJldGFn&g=Sm9oYW5u&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=UG9ia2U=&g=SWRh&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I50921&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I186463 Henry Edward Bright of Willaston died aged 84 years (in his 85th year) on ?1?9 Feb 1904; his wife Jane Prudence Bright died aged 86 years (in her 87th year) on ?2?3 Feb 1904 (1). According to the LDS website, Hon Henry Edward Bright was born 30 Jun 1819 in London, and died 18 Feb 1904 Willaston SA. His parents were Edward Bright and Mary Ann Smith. Henry Edward Bright was married on 15 Mar 1841 in London to Jane Prudence King, who was b1816 in England (father James King), and died 23 Feb 1904 Willaston. He arrived in SA c1849, and was a Public Works Commissioner, politician and butcher, and had resided in Gawler, then Willaston. Their children included [1] Henry Edward Bright born 16 Mar 1843 Chelmsford, Essex, England and died 12 Nov 1917 Broken Hill NSW; [2] Jane Elizabeth Bright b1843, died 1 Dec 1861 Willaston; [3] Mary Ann Bright b1844 England, died 15 Aug 1863 Willaston; [4] Thomas Robert Bright born 15 Mar 1852 SA, died 9 Dec 1924 Adelaide (2). The LDS say Henry Edward Bright died 18th Feb, headstone says 19th. The newspaper agrees with the LDS date, so the headstone is wrong: “Bright. On the 18th February, at his residence, Willaston, near Gawler, HE Bright, dearly beloved husband of Jane Bright, aged 85 years”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 27 February 1904 p25 (3). But they got his age wrong 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bright_henry_edward_&_jane_prudence.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I199099&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87875120?searchTerm=Henry%20Edward%20Bright&searchLimits=l-title=291 Josephine M Bright died aged 78 years on 16 Aug 1957; her daughter Nancy Mildred Thyer also buried here (born 27 Jan 1917, died 22 April 1999) (1). The ‘all Bright’ Birth Index looking for mother Josephine M and daughter Nancy Mildred Bright instantly gives us: Nancy Mildred Bright was born in 1917 to parents Horatio Nelson Bright and Josephine Mary Griffiths in the Barossa District (2). Horatio Bright Marriage Index shows that in 1904 Horatio Nelson Bright was married to Josephine Mary Griffiths (3). The LDS tells us that Horatio Nelson Bright was born on 28 Jan 1870 in Gawler to parents James Bright (born c1826 Colchester, Essex, England and died 3 Mar 1890 Gawler) and Joyce Cox (b1840, died 21 Apr 1923 Gawler) who had married 1 Nov 1857 Salisbury SA. Horatio Nelson Bright was married 6 Apr 1904 in Gawler to Josephine Mary Griffiths born 1879 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bright_josephine_m.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJpZ2h0&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJpZ2h0&g=SG9yYXRpbw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I199105&tree=SouthAustralia Henry Brooks was born 2 Nov 1884 and died 21 Sept 1927; Flora Brooks was born 15 May 1888 and died 22 Aug 1982; parents of Doris, Arthur, Violet and Fred (1). On the LDS website, Henry Brooks was born 2 Nov 1884 Port Victoria SA to parents Walter Brooks (born 6 Apr 1836 London, died 27 Jun 1903 Goodwood SA) and Ann Ellen Berry (b 31 Mar 1842 Coventry, Warwickshire and died 17 Jun 1927 SA) who had married 31 Oct 1863 in Blakiston SA. Henry Brooks was married on 28 Aug 1913 Moorook SA to Esther Flora Therisa Drogemuller born 15 May 1888 Mannum SA (2). The ‘all Brooks’ Marriage Index shows that 7 years after Henry Brooks died, his widow Flora Teresa Esther Brooks nee Drogemuller was married in 1934 in the Barossa District to Harold Harkness (3). So the Flora Brooks buried here is actually Flora Harkness formerly Brooks nee Drogemuller. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brooks_henry_&_flora.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I235853&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJvb2tz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Harry Arthur Brooks died aged 65 years on 23 April 1983; husband of Merle, father of Mal, Gordon and Geoff (1). On the WW2 Nominal Roll, we find the Service Record of Harry Arthur Brooks, born 12 Oct 1917 in Adelaide and enlisted 10 Mar 1941 Willaston SA in the Australian Army, his next of kin given as Flora Harkness. He was discharged 20 Feb 1946 as Sergeant HA Brooks (2). By way of doublechecking using an independent source, we can look at the SA Births on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people to see that Harry Arthur Brooks was born on 12 Oct 1917 in Parkside, Adelaide to parents Henry Brooks and Flora Esther Drogemuller (3), the family we met in Note 703. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brooks_harry_arthur.jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=675115 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I456168 John Smith Brooks died aged 60 years on 23 Apr 1928 [see his date of birth and forbears at Note 81]; his son Douglas Mitchell Brooks died aged 34 on May 15 1934 (1). Brooks. On the 14th May, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Douglas Mitchell, dearly beloved husband of Dorothea. Aged 34 years. The Advertiser, Wednesday 16 May 1934 p18 (2). Eulogy: “On Monday, Mr Douglas M Brooks, 34, of Gawler South, died in the Hutchinson Hospital from the results of double pneumonia. Mr Brooks put up a stern fight but his muscular disability made treatment a difficulty.. He was a married man with little children, and one who had to long strive against the difficulties of unemployment. Mr Brooks was associated with Mr Milne, the Divisional Returning Officer for Barossa electorate in the State elections, and his thoroughness of detail gained public eulogy from his employer at the last election.” Bunyip, Friday 18 May 1934 p1 (3) The Douglas Brooks Birth Index shows Douglas Mitchell Brooks was born in 1900 to parents John Smith Brooks and Ellen Mitchell in the Burra District (4), and the Douglas Brooks Marriage Index shows that in 1928 Douglas Mitchell Brooks Dorothea married Annie Deuter in the Port Gawler District (5). By turning to the SA Births data at the website RootsWeb, we see that Douglas Mitchell Brooks was born on 12

Searching for Phyllis Brooks at the Savill Index for the Advertiser Funeral Notices show a Phyllis Anne Brooks notice on 2007-06-11 and a Phyl Brooks nee Pope on 2007-05-12 (2), with the latter clearly the correct one. Just to check, on GenealogySA’s Birth Index for Phyllis Pope, it shows that she was born in 1924 to parents Walter Norman Pope and Alice Ethel Masters in the Nairne District (3). There’s no record here for Phyllis Pope’s marriage to Fred Brooks, but via Trove, here’s their engagement announcement proving the link: “Pope-Brooks. The engagement is announced of Phyllis, second daughter of Mr and Mrs WN Pope, of Brinkley, to Fred, younger son of Mrs H Harkness and the late Mr H Brooks, of Willaston.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 19 December 1946 p31 (4). Fred Brooks then was a brother of Harry Arthur Brooks, sharing their mother Mrs Flora Harkness formerly Brooks, nee Drogemuller. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brooks_phyllis.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=UG9wZQ==&g=UGh5bGxpcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93127152?searchTerm=Pope%20Brooks%20&searchLimits= Susan Brown nee Crowe (1882-1924) had a daughter Evelyn and a son Matthew, but no mention of her husband (1). The Susan Crowe Birth Index has her born in 1882 to parents Daniel Crowe and Mary Donnellan in the Kapunda District (2). The ‘all Brown’ Birth Index shows that Mathew Herbert Brown and Susan Crowe had these children [1] Matthew Herbert Brown b1914; [2] Evelyn Mary Brown b1915 both in the Barossa District (3). The Matthew Herbert Brown Birth Index shows he was born in 1877 to parents William Mitchell Brown and Sophia Reed in the Gilbert District (4), who are discussed in Note 88, which told us that Matthew Herbert Brown born on 16 Sep 1877 in Saddleworth, but with no discussion on his subsequent history. At least we now know that Susan Brown nee Crowe was William and Sophia’s daughter in law. The Daniel Crowe Marriage Index has him married in 1868 to Mary Donnelan in the Kapunda District (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Susan Crowe was born on 19 Feb 1882 in Eudunda SA to parents Daniel Crowe and Mary Donnellan (6), but I cannot find a death notice for Susan Brown nee Crowe’s death using Trove. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown_susan__%28nee_crowe%29.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3Jvd2U=&g=U3VzYW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJvd24=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJvd24=&g=TWF0dGhldyBIZXJiZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3Jvd2U=&g=RGFuaWVs&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I233202 Charles Bruff died aged 79 yrs on 2 Nov 1951; Laura Bruff died aged 79 yrs on 27 Sept 1965 (1). Flaura Elizabeth Bruff died aged 77 yrs on 4 March 1953 (2). The Charles Bruff Birth Index at GenealogySA shows he was born in 1872 to parents Jesse Bruff and Caroline Buttress in the Willunga District (3). The Charles Bruff Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows he was married in 1913 to Laura Bryan in the Burra District (4). The ‘all Bruff’ Birth Index shows that Jesse Bruff and Caroline Buttress had the following children, all born in the Willunga District [1] Eliza Bruff b1858; [2] Mary Hannah Bruff b1860; [3] James Bruff b1864; [4] Edward Bruff b1866; [5] Harry Bruff b1867; [6] Melinda Bruff b1869; [7] Charles Bruff b1872; [8] Flaura Elizabeth Bruff b1874 (5). This 1874 birth of Flaura Elizabeth makes her nearer 78 or 79 years of age when she died early in 1953. “Death: Bruff. On March 6, at Adelaide, Flaura Elizabeth Bruff, of Twelfth street, Gawler South, loved sister-in-law of Mrs C Bruff, Willaston and aunt of Eric, Fred, Jack, Ida, Sis, May and Gordon. Aged 77 years.” The Advertiser, Saturday 7 March 1953 p24 (6). Charles and Laura wed: in 1913: “Bruff-Bryan. On the 12th March, at Terowie, Charles, third son of Jesse Bruff, of Petherton, late of Palmer, to Laura, third daughter of Samuel Cooper Bryan, of Terowie.” The Advertiser, Saturday 22 March 1913 p18. The LDS website tells us that Samuel Cooper Bryan was born {father was William Bryan} in 1839 Kilkenny, Ireland and died on 17 Feb 1917 in Terowie SA. He was married aged 34 yrs on 27 Feb 1874 in Adelaide to Susanna Savory Holland aged 24 yrs who was born 13 Oct 1850 Sources of the Torrens SA, died 10 Jun 1942 Terowie. The children of Samuel Cooper Bryan and Susanna Savory Holland included [1] William Bryan born 28 Feb 1875 Woodside SA; [2] Samuel Cooper Bryan born 25 Jul 1876 Kooringa SA; [3] Elizabeth Bryan born 10 Oct 1878 Kooringa, died 6 Mar 1879 Kooringa; [4] Susannah Bryan born 16 May 1880 Woorkoongoree SA; [5] Basil James Bryan born 9 Feb 1882 Hallett SA; [6] Edith Bryan born 12 Jul 1884 Hallett; [7] Rose Bryan born 19 May 1888 Ulooloo SA; [8] Edward Bryan born 17 Jun 1890 Ulooloo; [9] Frederick Bryan born 31 Oct 1892 Ulooloo (8). I calculate that Laura Bryan would have been born c1886, and we know from the Marriage Notice, she was a daughter of Samuel Cooper Bryan. But she’s missing from the LDS list of his children, and also from GenealogySA’s Birth Index and RootsWeb. If she were added to his list between [6] and [7] where a child born in 1886 would fit nicely, this would also be the third {living} daughter, as it says in the Advertiser. But it doesn’t gives us her precise day of birth. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Charles Bruff was born on 26 Feb 1872 in Willunga SA to parents Jesse Bruff and Caroline Buttress (9), and his sister Flaura Elizabeth Bruff was born to the same parents on 7 Aug 1874 in McLaren Vale (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bruff_charles_&_laura.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bruff_flaura_elizabeth.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJ1ZmY=&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJ1ZmY=&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJ1ZmY=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48300476?searchTerm=Flaura%20Elizabeth%20Bruff&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5385390?searchTerm=Bruff%20Bryan%201913&searchLimits= 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I130502&tree=SouthAustralia 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I286691 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I286695 Richard William Bruhn died aged 90 years on 15 May 1969; Mary Elizabeth Bruhn died aged 96 on 15 May 1984 (1). The ‘all Bruhn’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Memorial Inscriptions for Mary Elizabeth Bruhn who died
aged 96 years in 1984; and Richard William Bruhn who died aged 90y in 1969 (2). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Richard William Bruhn was 80 years old when he died (3), but there has been some damage to that date on the headstone and really is more like 90 years to me. According to the LDS website, RIchard William Bruhn was born 10 Feb 1879 SA to parents Joachim Carl Martin Theodor Bruhn (born 26 Aug 1845 Poppendorf, Mecklenberg, Prussia and died 27 Jun 1916 Waterloo SA) and Maria Sophie Friedericke Matthias (born 26 Aug 1856 Rosenthal SA, and died 18 Aug 1907 Waterloo), who had married 1 Mar 1878 in Carlsruhe SA. RIchard William Bruhn was married on 26 Feb 1908 at Caltowie SA to Mary Elizabeth Petatz who was b1878, but I think they mean b1888, as they also say that on the day of their wedding in 1908, that the groom’s age was 29 years and the bride’s age was 19 years [1908 minus 19 = 1879 or late 1878] (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Mary Elizabeth Petatz was born on 12 Jan 1889 in Caltowie SA to parents Gustav Petatz and Augusta Stubing (5), confirming that she was indeed aged 96 yrs when she died. The dates for Richard William Bruhn also confirm that he was 90 yrs old when he died in 1969. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bruhn_richard_william_&_mary_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJ1aG4=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I35555&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I178165 710 Eliza Bryan (daughter of John Clark of Roseworthy who died aged 58 yrs on 24 June 1897) wife of Francis Patrick Bryan died aged 40 years on 7 Dec 1902; her daughter Elizabeth Bryan died aged only 5 weeks on 27 Dec 1902 (1). The Eliza Clark Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that she was married in 1902 in the Barossa District, to Francis Patrick Bryan (2). “The Sad Tale of a Fortune: .... Three years ago Miss Eliza Clark was the leading heiress of a country district not far from Gawler. She had inherited a fortune of £6,000, accumulated by the thrift of her parents. Her cosy front room, her fields of waving corn, her herds of cattle and flocks of sheep, these were prosperouslooking, and seemed to invite a master who would be lord of all. Such a one arrived in the person of Frances Patrick Bryan, a handsome, blonde-complexioned man, who came from nowhere, and carried his swag. History sayeth not by what means he ingratiated himself with the fair Eliza Clark, but it does relate how, after having conquered the lady's affections, and incidentally mastered her fortune, Bryan made the dull hours fly in gay revels that fairly startled the old farmyard. About a year after the marriage, Mrs Bryan died, leaving a wee baby, which shortly followed its mother to the churchyard, leaving a disconsolate father and a fortune now reduced to £5,000. Mr Bryan engaged a housekeeper, Mrs Ann Edwards and the pair, finding the country to be monotonous, came to Adelaide. ... Bryant died, and Ann Edwards found herself in possession of a fortune now dwindled to £2,500 ..... Ann Edwards eventually came into possession of the estate, but it seemed a legacy destined to be of small piofit and much trouble, for the ex-housekeeper died in November of last year. The estate had by that time dwindled down to about £1,200, and .... left by Ann Edwards to Mrs Higinbottom (her landlady) and the latter's children, the lady being entitled to about £380... now but a few fragments remain of the snug but elusive fortune of £6,000 which fell into the hands of Miss Eliza Clark a short three years ago.” Bunyip, Friday 4 November 1904 p2 (3), which can be read in full at this website. If Eliza was 40 yrs in 1902, her estimated year of birth is 1862. On the SA births data at the website RootsWeb the only Eliza Clark who was born in 1862 was born 10 Feb 1862 in Mount Gambier to parents Charles Clark and Louisa Bond (4), so this is not our Eliza Clark whose father was John. “Magistrates Court, Gawler. John Clark was charged by Ann Clark with unlawfully leaving her without adequate means of support. .... Ann Clark, wife of the defendant, farmer, of Roseworthy ... He had several times beaten her. On one occasion he beat her near the haystack with his hands, and kicked her, when her daughter ran out and said, “You must not do that.” He always stopped when anyone saw him. She would not go back to live with him for she was afrald of her life. Her husband had 320 acres of land near Roseworthy. .... When she got married 17 years ago she had a little money in the bank which passed into his hands. When witness married him she thought he was a bachelor. If she had known that he had a grown up daughter she would not have married him. The daughter wanted the home for herself. .... His daughter had been out from England two years in November. .... Eliza Clarke, daughter of defendant, being sworn, deposed that she had been out about two years. During the time she was living in the house had got on very well with her stepmother. Never threatened to strike her. She had very often seen her stepmother the worse for drink. She had known her to be away from home more than once. ....” Bunyip, Friday 9 September 1887 p3 (5), a full page of reporting, but summarized by saying that John Clark had his daughter Eliza before he came from England, and married Ann. Thus we cannot find Eliza’s date of birth, as she only arrived in SA aged 23 yrs in 1885. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bryan_elizabeth_&_eliza.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2xhcms=&g=RWxpemE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97590274?searchTerm=Eliza%20Bryan%20Clark&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I29892 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97228225?searchTerm=john%20clark%20roseworthy&searchLimits= 711 Hilda Mary Bryan died aged 72 years on 25 March 1970 (1). The Hilda Mary Bryan Death Index at Genealogy shows at her death in 1970, the nominated relative was her brother WH Bryan of Gawler (2), so the assumption is that she never married. The Hilda Mary Bryan Birth Index has her birth in 1897 to parents Patrick Joseph Bryan and Mary Guerin in the Daly District (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Hilda Mary Bryan was born on 30 Nov 1897 in Paskeville SA to parents Patrick Joseph Bryan and Mary Guerin (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bryan_hilda_mary.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QnJ5YW4=&g=SGlsZGEgTWFyeQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJ5YW4=&g=SGlsZGEgTWFyeQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I324784 712 Bert Bryant died aged 69 years on 10 June 1979; his wife Gladys Bryant died aged 72 years on 28 Nov 1988 (1). The Bert Bryant Birth Index at GenealogySA shows he was born in 1910 to parents George Edmund Bryant and Matilda Perry in the Barossa District (2). A search of Bert Bryant at the WW2 Nominal Roll shows his Service Record. Bert Bryant was born 2 Feb 1910 in Gawler. His next of kin was given as George Bryant when he enlisted 17 May 1941, and he was discharged 20 Mar 1942 (3). “Marriage: Symes — Bryant. Marriage of Gladys, only daughter of Mr & Mrs G Symes, Gawler, to Bert, only son of Mr & Mrs GE Bryant, Gawler, was quietly solemnised at St Peter - Paul Church on January 12th, 1943, by Father O'Sullivan.” Bunyip, Friday 15 January 1943 p3 (4). The Gladys Symes Birth Index at GenealogySA with father G Symes shows that Gladys Evelyn Mary Symes was born in 1916 to parents George Alfred Symes and Caroline Laura McCann in the Barossa District (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Gladys Evelyn Mary Symes was born on 16 Jun 1916 in Gawler to parents George Alfred Symes and Caroline Laura McCann (6).

It is noted that on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, Elliot is misspelt as Elliott, although the headstone clearly has only one ‘t’ (2). The John Bubner search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has John Chriestern[sic] Bubner on the Burial Register and on the Memorial Inscription it has John C Bubner died aged 81 years old in 1965 (3). The John Bubner Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that John Chriesten[sic] Bubner was born in 1884 to parents John Bubner and Mary Ann Schammer in the District of Gilbert (4). According to the LDS website, John Christian Bubner was born on 20 May 1884 at Dublin SA. His parents were Johann Wilhelm Bubner (b1844 Brandenberg, Prussia and died 14 May 1923 Dublin SA) and Mary Schammer (born 27 Jan 1850, died 19 Jul 1937 Dublin) who had married on the 9 Mar 1867 at Rosenthal SA. John Christian Bubner was married on 18 Mar 1908 at Wasleys SA to Alice Mahala Selleck b1883 (5). “Death from Injuries in Pt Parham Accident: Elliott[sic] Bubner, who received injuries to the spinal column when he dived into shallow water at Port Parham died in Adelaide on Friday last. He was the fourth son of Mr and Mrs John C Bubner of Wasleys and was 22 years of age. After the accident which took place on Sunday Nov 23, he was attended to by Dr HRP Boucaut at Dublin, and later taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Myren's ambulance. The remains were interred in the Willaston Cemetery on Saturday afternoon.” Bunyip, Friday 5 December 1941 p2 (6). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Alice Mahala Selleck was born Alice Mabela[sic] Selleck on 9 Jan 1883 nr Wasleys SA to parents John Emanuel Selleck and Margaret Mullen (7), and Elliot Stanley Bubner was born on 21 Sep 1919 in Gawler to parents John Christian Bubner and Alice Mahala Selleck (8). Roma Doreen Bubner was born 18 Sept 1922 and died aged 82 yrs on 2 Feb 2005 (9). Roma’s wedding: “Mrs Lionel Bubner, formerly Miss Roma Lines, third daughter of Mr and Mrs RL Lines, of Wasleys, wore a gown of white crepe embroidered in gold for her marriage at the Wasleys Methodist Church on Saturday. Misses Marjorie Lines and Melva Bubner, in pink and blue crepe, were bridesmaids, and Raelene Shires, in blue, was flower girl. The bridegroom, who is the youngest son of Mr and Mrs JC Bubner, of Wasleys, had Messrs B Buckley and B Lines as best man and groomsman.” News (Adelaide), Wednesday 21 February 1945 p7 (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bubner_elliot_stanley,_alice_mahala_&_john_c.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnVibmVy&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnVibmVy&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I196532&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96697439?searchTerm=John%20Bubner&searchLimits=l-title=371 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I332364 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I458518 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bubner_roma_doreen.jpg 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/127292894?searchTerm=roma%20bubner&searchLimits= 714 Dorothea A Buchan was born 11 Aug 1904 and died 1 Oct 1988; wife and mother but no details of her family (1). A search of Dorothea Buchan at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser has a notice in 1988 for Dorothea Annie Buchan (2). A search of Dorothea Buchan at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Dorothea Annie Buchan aged 84 years on the Burial Register (3). The ‘all Buchan’ Marriage index at GenealogySA seeking a male Buchan marrying a Dorothea Annie yields no results, but could she still have been Sam’s wife? Sam Buchan from Scotland was a Gawler milkman – as we saw in Note 90. He did have a wife if this 1943 Birth Notice refers to him: “Buchan.— On Jan 27, at Hutchlnson Hospital, Gawler, to Mr and Mrs S Buchan — a daughter.” Chronicle, Thursday 4 February 1943 p10 (5). According to the website Mundia.com “Samuel Nicholson Buchan (1905 – 1982) has immediate family members including Dorothea Annie” (6), which at least implies a link. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/buchan_dorothea_a.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QnVjaGFu&g=RG9yb3RoZWE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnVjaGFu&g=RG9yb3RoZWE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVjaGFu&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92367731?searchTerm=Sam%20Buchan%20Gawler&searchLimits= 6 http://www.mundia.com/au/Search/Results?givenName=Samuel&surname=Buchan&birthDay=&birthMonth=&birthYear=1905 715 Joseph Buckby died aged 95 years on 27 Jan 1939; his wife Charlotte Buckby died aged 86 years on 16 Feb 1937 (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shays that Charlotte Buckby was 80 yrs old when she died (2), but it seems to say she was 86 yrs old to me. The LDS website tells us that Joseph Buckby was born in 1843 in Northampton, Northamptonshire, England, and died 27 Jan 1939 Prospect SA. His parents were William Buckby (b1817 Northampton, died 16 Aug 1883 Penfield SA) and Anne Newbury (born c1816 Northampton, died 18 Jul 1882 Penfield). Joseph Buckby arrived with his family in 1850 aboard the Constance. He was a farmer who had lived at Peachey Belt, Wasleys, and Prospect. He was married on 8 Feb 1870 in Peachy Belt to Charlotte Stevens (born 25 May 1850 Unley SA to parents John Stevens and Ann Burgin, and she died 16 Feb 1937 SA). Their children were [1] William Ernest Buckby born 16 Jan 1871 Peachy Belt, died 1957: [2] John Lavington Rupert Buckby born 28 Apr 1875 Peachy Belt, and died 1937; [3] Donald Norman Buckby born 8 Mar 1878 Peachy Belt, and died 1920; [4] Amy Agnes McAskill nee Buckby born 1 Mar 1880 Wasleys, died 14 Sep 1910 Norwood SA; [5] Morton Buckby born 1 Jul 1881 Wasleys, died 1958; [6] Mary Eliza Speck nee Buckby born 28 Sep 1883 Wasleys; [7] Beeton Buckby born 14 Dec 1886 Wasleys, died 1939; [8] Hilda Ann Worthington nee Buckby born 21 Sep 1889 nr Wasleys; [9] Clarence Buckby born 21 Dec 1894 Wasleys, died 1949 (3). If the LDS data is correct Charlotte Buckby was 86 years old when she died. To prove that Mrs Charlotte Buckley was 86 years old when she died: “Buckby. On the 16th February, at her residence, 15 Farrant street, Prospect, Charlotte, beloved wife of Joseph Buckby, late of Wasleys, aged 86 years”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 18 February 1937 p45 (4). The Burial Register for Willaston Cemetery agrees that Charlotte Buckley was aged 86years, and late of Prospect when she was buried 17/02/1937 in Plot/Grave/Niche 44 F 2, with Rev Baker officiating (5). Morton Buckby died aged 76 years on 17 May 1958; husband of Victoria Buckby (6). Victoria Buckby died aged 44 years on 8 Oct 1923 (7). On the LDS website, Morton Buckby was born 1 Jul 1881 at Wasleys SA to parents Joseph Buckby and Charlotte Stevens. Morton Buckby was married 23 Jan 1905 in Wasleys to Victoria Speck b1879 (8). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Victoria

Speck was born on 6 Mar 1879 at Reeves Plains SA to parents Robert Speck and Louisa Mudge (9). Beeton Buckby died aged 52 years on 7 Dec 1939; his wife Sabina Buckby died aged 80 years on 11 April 1968; parents of Harold, Amy, Beeton, Edward and Bert (10). On the LDS website, Beeton Buckby was married 6 Mar 1912 at Kangaroo Flat SA to Sabrina[sic] Haydon, who was born 18 Mar 1888 at Kangaroo Flat to parents Walter Winter Haydon (born 8 Jun 1849 Exeter, Devon, England and died 2 Sep 1917 Kangaroo Flat) and Jane Ann Hogben (born 10 Dec 1853 Para Plains SA, and died 17 Sep 1942 Kangaroo Flat) who had married 23 Feb 1876 at Kangaroo Flat (11). The LDS site has Sabina’s first name as Sabrina, but the Beeton Buckby Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows his marriage in 1912 to Sabina Haydon (12). “Silver Wedding: Buckby—Haydon. On the 6th March, 1912, at the residence of the bride's parents, Kangaroo Flat by Pastor F Althorp, Beeton, son of Mr Joseph Buckby, of Farrant st, Prospect, to Sabina, daughter of Mrs W Haydon and the late Mr W Haydon”. The Advertiser, Monday 8 March 1937 p12 (13). Sabina is an old Haydon family name: “Death. Hogben. On July 7, at the residence of her sister (Mrs WW Haydon), Kangaroo Flat, Sabina, daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Richard Hogben, aged 69 years”. Bunyip, Friday 17 July 1925 p4 (14). It seems clear that from a variety of independent sources, her name was Sabina and the LDS source is incorrect in calling her Sabrina 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/buckby_charlotte_&_joseph.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I64359&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92466513?searchTerm=Charlotte%20Buckby&searchLimits= 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33202 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/buckby_morton.jpg 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/buckby_victoria.jpg 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I196306&tree=SouthAustralia 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I352394 10 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/buckby_beeton_&_sabina.jpg 11 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I135168&tree=SouthAustralia 12 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVja2J5&g=QmVldG9u&c=&y=&r=MA== 13 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/41626269?searchTerm=Buckby%20Haydon&searchLimits= 14 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96635296?searchTerm=Sabina%20Haydon&searchLimits=l-title=371 Martin Patrick Buckley died aged 83 yrs on 4 May 1979, his wife Esther Amy Buckley died aged 87 yrs on 13 June 1989, parents of Peter, Colleen, Nance and Kathrine (1). The Martin Buckley Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in 1937 in Adelaide to Esther Amy Patten (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Martin Buckley was born on 10 Jul 1895 in Warcowie SA to parents John Buckley and Eliza McInerney (3), and Esther Amy Patten was born on 14 Mar 1902 in Quorn SA to parents Charles Patten and Catherine Daly (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/buckley_martin_patrick_&_esther_amy.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVja2xleQ==&g=TWFydGlu&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I325794 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I232553 Maurice Williams Buckley died aged 62 yrs on 2 June 1987; his wife Bernice Jean Buckley died aged 67 yrs on 19 Aug 1992 (1). There being no Maurice Buckley Marriage Index at GenealogySA, a search of newspaper notices using Trove yields: “Engagements: Blackwell— Buckley. The engagement is anounced of Bernice Jean, only daughter of Mr-Mrs TME Blackwell, Mypolonga, to Maurice William (AMF, abroad), third son Mr-Mrs FJ Buckley, Whyalla.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 29 August 1945 p14 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Maurice Williams Buckley was born on 1 Jul 1924 in Laura SA to parents Frederick James Buckley and Elizabeth Dann (3), and Bernice Jean Blackwell was born on 6 Sep 1924 in Robertstown SA to parents Thomas Ernst Matthew Blackwell and Gertrude Maria Schirmer (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/buckley_maurice_williams_&_bernice_jean.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43508532?searchTerm=Maurice%20Buckley%20Bernice&searchLimits= 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I458838 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I448334 Edwin Buckingham died aged 31 years on 9 January 1898 (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he died in 1899, but it looks more like 1898 to me. It’s worth a check: The Edwin Buckingham search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that the Memorial Inscription has Edwin Buckingham dying aged 31 years in 1898 (3), but on a Trove review of old SA newspapers, I find: “The Late Mr E Buckingham: The funeral of the late Mr Edwin Buckingham, who had for a number of years occupied the position of Secretary to the Gawler Jockey Club, took place at the WilIaston Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. There was a large attendance of friends anxious to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased, who had made himself popular, in the district, and with racing men in particular. The Rev J Lumsden conducted the burial service. ..... .“ South Australian Register, Thursday 12 January 1899 p7 (4). And just to make sure, the Gawler Council’s Burial Register for Willaston Cemetery, says that an E Buckingham was buried 10/1/1899 in Plot/Grave/Niche 55 D 2, with Rev J Lumsden officiating (5). So I’m convinced that Edwin Buckingham died aged 31 years on 9 January 1899, and it’s my [and GenealogySA’s] error. The LDS website says that Edwin Buckingham was born on 25 Jun 1867 nr Riverton SA. His parents were Charles Buckingham (b1821, died on the 10 Apr 1908 Gawler), and Sarah Young (b1828, died 9 Oct 1899 Riverton) (6). So he was 31 years ol when he died in early 1899 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/buckingham_edwin.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnVja2luZ2hhbQ==&g=RWR3aW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/54409996?searchTerm=Edwin%20Buckingham&searchLimits= 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30901 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I196219&tree=SouthAustralia Ben Budden died on 27 June 2006, in his 100th year (ie he was 99); his wife Mary Budden died aged 57 years on 11 May 1977 (1). An ‘all Budden’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription confirming that Benjamin Budden died in his 100th year in 2006; and one for Mary Budden who died aged 57 years in 1977 (2). There is little else on Benjamin or Mary Budden at GenealogySA, at least under those names, and Ben Budden doesn’t appear on the SA Birth data at the website rootsWeb. Trove searches were a last resort, and this found: “Double Wedding at Cootra East: Budden—Wilsdon; Walter— Wilsdon. On Saturday afternoon, July 22, a very pretty double wedding was celebrated at the Cootra East ball. The contracting parties
were Benjamin Eustace, son of the late Mr and Mrs EP Budden, of Wales, England, and Alice Mary Ann, fourth daughter of Mr and Mrs Roy Wilsdon, of Cootra East; Maxwell Henry, second son of Mr and Mrs AH Walter, of Cootra Centre, and Vera, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs Roy Wilsdon, of Cootra East. The officiating minister was Rev NC Gunthorpe, of Wudinna. ...... .” Port Lincoln Times, Thursday 3 August 1944 p10 (3). Alice Mary Ann Wilsdon was born 12 Feb 1920 in Hallett SA to parents George William Wilsdon and Ruby Emma Eveleen Jones (4). Possibly Benjamin Eustace Budden was born in Wales, UK, but not in “Wales, England” as the Port Lincoln Times says, which would no doubt annoy a Welsh-person to read. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/budden_mary_&_ben.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnVkZGVu&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/99915857?searchTerm=Benjamin%20Budden%20Mary&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I702923 720 James Alexander Bulloch died aged 90 years on 23 June 1967; Louisa S Esther Bulloch died aged 86 years on 6 May 1968, presumably husband and wife (1). The ‘all Bulloch’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms Memorial Inscriptions for James Alexander Bulloch who died aged 90 years in 1967 and Louisa S Esther Bulloch who died aged 86 years in 1968 (2). On the LDS website, James Alexander Bullock[sic] was born in 1877 Scotland to parents Gabriel Bullock and Mary McCulloch. James Alexander Bullock was married 14 Feb 1908 Gawler to 25-years old widow Louisa Sabrina Esther Dawe b1882 (3). On a separate headstone, Gabriel Bulloch died aged 35 years on 3 Feb 1881; his granddaughter Elsie Mary Bulloch died aged 7 years on 17 Sept 191?0?5 (4). The Elsie Bulloch Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Elsie Mary Bullock[sic] was born in 1908 to parents James Alexander Bullock and Louisa Sabina[sic] Esther Vile nee Dawe in the Barossa District (5), and the Elsie Bulloch Death Index shows Elsie Mary Bulloch died in 1915, with nominated relative her father James Alexander Bullock (6). The ‘h’ and ‘k’ seem interchangeable in the Bulloch family!! Again on the LDS website, Gabriel Bulloch was born 1846 in Scotland, died 3 Feb 1881 Bassett SA. He had arrived in SA in 1878 aboard the Largo Bay and was a limeburner who lived in Bassett Town. He was married in Scotland to Mary McCulloch b1847, who died as Mrs J Busbridge, after re-marrying. Their children were [1] Annie Bullock b1864 Scotland; [2] Mary Bullock b1870 Scotland; [3] Catherine McPhee Bywaters nee Bullock b1875 Scotland and died 1957 [see Note 224]; [4] James Alexander Bullock b1877 Scotland, d1967; [5] Jane McRobe Badcock nee Bullock b1879, d1954 (7). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Louisa Sabina Esther Bulloch formerly Vile nee Dawe was born Louisa Sabina Esther Dawe on 20 Mar 1882 in Gawler to parents Louis Christopher Dawe and Harriet Hogben (8), and Elsie Mary Bulloch was born Elsie Mary Bullock on 13 Jun 1908 in Gawler to parents James Alexander Bullock and Louisa Sabina Esther Dawe Vile (9). The fact that Gabriel and James Alexander Bulloch were born in Scotland has made it more difficult to find their dates of birth, which a search on Trove confirmed. Roy James Bulloch was born on 19 Jun 1911 in Gawler to parents James Alexander Bulloch and Louisa Sabina Esther Dawe Vile (10), making him a younger brother to Elsie Mary (10). “Approaching Marriages: Weaver—Bulloch. The marriage of Miss Doris Bianca Weaver and Mr Roy James Bulloch will be celebrated at the Baptist Church, Gawler, on Saturday, the 14th of October, at 7pm. Officiating minister: Rev J Leslie Asser.” The Advertiser, Saturday 7 October 1939 p12 (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bulloch_james_alexander_&_louisa_s._esther.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnVsbG9jaA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I195754&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bulloch_gabriel_&_elsie_mary.jpg 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnVsbG9jaA==&g=RWxzaWU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QnVsbG9jaA==&g=RWxzaWU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I195749&tree=SouthAustralia 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I593904 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I459246 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I459243 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/49817936?searchTerm=Roy%20Bulloch%20Doris&searchLimits= 721 Private EO Burfitt died aged 45years on 21 June 1962 (1). The World War 2 Nominal Roll shows the Service Record of Erle Owen Burfitt born 1 Nov 1916 Bute, SA, who enlisted in the Australian Army on the 10 Nov 1939 at Berri SA, with his next of kin being E Burfitt. He was discharged on 24 Nov 1941 (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burfitt_e.o..jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=663079 722 Emma A Burfitt has an unreadable headstone (1). I have had to rely on the information supplied on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). From this, Emma A Burfitt died aged 92 years on 26 Dec 1963. The Emma A Burfitt search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Emma Amelia Burfitt on the Burial Register and there apparently are two Memorial Inscriptions, one for Emma A Burfitt and the other for Emma A Burfitt who died in her 92nd year (3). So she was 91 years old, not 92, which means her year of birth is c1872. The Emma A Burfitt Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when Emma Amelia Burfitt died in Gawler in 1963, the nominated relative was her deceased husband James Burfitt (4). Still on GenealogySA, the James Burfitt Marriage Index shows that he was married in 1894 in the Daly District to Emma Amelia Burgess (5), and the Emma Burgess Birth Index shows that Emma Amelia Burgess was born in 1872 to parents William Coston Burgess and Caroline Fredericka Augusta Priess in the Barossa District (6). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Emma Amelia Burgess was born on 2 Feb 1872 in Mudla Wirra SA to parents William Coston Burgess {born Abt 1842} and Caroline Fredericka Augusta Priess {born Abt 1844}. In this instance, the website gives much more than just her date of birth. The marriage between James Burfitt (aged 28 yrs, born 18 Sep 1864 in Noarlunga SA, single, father was Samuel Burfitt) and Emma Amelia Burgess (aged 22 yrs, born c1872, single, father was William Coston Burgess), was in the residence of the Reverend GH Paynter, Kulpara SA on the 13 Feb 1894. The children of James Burfitt and Emma Amelia Burgess were [1] Vera Everlin Burfitt born 13 Nov 1894 Alford SA; [2] Elva Eleanor Burfitt born 10 Sep 1896 Alford; [3] Wilfred James Burfitt born 6 Nov 1898 Alford; [4] Raymond William Burfitt born 10 Aug 1900 Kadina; [5] Harry Ross Burfitt born 19 Sep 1903 Alford; [6] Archibald Clement Burfitt born23 Jun 1906 Kadina. Emma Amelia Burfitt nee Burgess died aged 91 yrs on 26 Dec 1963 in Gawler, her relative listed as James Burfitt (Deceased husband) (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burfitt_emma_a.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnVyZml0dA==&g=RW1tYSBB&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QnVyZml0dA==&g=RW1tYSBB&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVyZml0dA==&g=SmFtZXM=&c=&y=&r=MA==

This family has been hard to track. On GenealogySA there are Willaston Cemetery records but nothing earlier such as birth and marriage details. Trove searches including the Bunyip have been fruitless as well. On the Gawler Council website, Harry Burrows aged 85 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 11/01/1965 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 10 GG 2, with Rev GC Cook officiating (2). But that’s all I have found out about them. Is Harry short for Harold or Henry, or is his real name? Middle names would help 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burrows_harry,_ethel,_&_john.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34529 Charles SJ Burt died aged 64 years on the 26 Nov 1948; his wife Ada C Burt died aged 66 years on 27 July 1951 (1). This headstone is very hard to read and I have had to rely on the information on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). A search for Charles S Burt at the LDS website reveals that Charles Seymour James Burt was born 2 Oct 1884 at Angle Vale SA. His parents were Robert Burt (born 14 Jul 1842 Long Sutton, Somerset, England, and died 8 Jul 1908 Angle Vale) and Georgiana Andrews (born 26 Sep 1842 Kelsale, Suffolk, England, and died 5 Nov 1888 Angle Vale), who had married 28 Dec 1860 Long Sutton. Charles Seymour James Burt was married on 10 Sep 1907 Kensington SA to Ada Charlotte Ferguson b1885 (3). Charles SJ Burt’s passing confirmed: “In Memoriam. Burt. Loving thoughts and memories of a dearly loved husband and father, Charles SJ, who passed away at Gawler 26th November, 1948. Ever remembered by his loving wife and family”. Bunyip, Friday 25 November 1949 p2 (4). Ada C Burt’s passing confirmed: “In Memoriam. Burt. In loving memory of our dear mother and grandma who passed away June 27th, 1951. Always remembered by Ron, Mona, Ethne and John. Bunyip, Friday 26 June 1953 p2 (5). To confirm that Ada C Burt died in June 1951, the Gawler Council website says that Ada Charlotte Burt aged 66 years whose last residence was in Gawler was buried 27/06/1951 at Willaston Cemetery in the reopened Plot/Grave/Niche 20 K 4, with Rev French officiating (6). The ‘all Burt’ Birth Index searching parents Charles Seymour James Burt and Ada Charlotte Ferguson shows only three children [1] Bruce Seymour Burt b1910; [2] Keith Malcolm Burt b1913; [3] Reba Ailsia Ada Burt b1919 (7), although I strongly suspect there was a fourth child, first-born Ronald Andrew Burt b1908, but cannot prove it. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ada Charlotte Ferguson was born on 4 Apr 1885 in Kensington, Adelaide to parents Andrew Ferguson and Rebeca Tabrahan Brooks (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burt_charles_s.j._&_ada_c.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I193875&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96855615?searchTerm=Burt&searchLimits=l-title=371|||l-category=Family+Notices 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96898623?searchTerm=Burt&searchLimits=l-title=371|||l-category=Family+Notices 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34222 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnVydA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I725613 Ronald Andrew Burt died aged 51 years on 17 Nov 1959; husband of Mona Burt, father of Ethne and John (1). The Ronald Burt Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows Ronald Andrew Burt was married in 1936 to Mona Julianna Schubert in the Pinnaroo District (2), and the Mona Schubert Birth Index shows that Mona Julianna Schubert was born in 1912 to parents Johann Gottlieb Schubert and Anna Juliane Kuchel in the Nairne District (3), and hence not the Mona Burt on the the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (4) who was born in 1910. Ronald Andrew Burt doesn’t appear on GenealogySA’s Birth Index or on the RootsWeb site, so I cannot trace his parents, who may be Charles and Ada Burt [Note 724], and the birth just wasn’t formally recorded, as his family is mentioned in Ada’s memorial notice. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burt_ronald_andrew.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVydA==&g=Um9uYWxk&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=U2NodWJlcnQ=&g=TW9uYQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96898623?searchTerm=Burt&searchLimits=l-title=371|||l-category=Family+Notices Mona Burt 1910-1989 (1); her husband Bruce Burt 1910-1976 (2). This doesn’t give us many clues, and their deaths are too recent to explore using Trove. The Bruce Burt Marriage Index shows that Bruce Seymour Burt was married in 1937 in the Murray District to Mona Smith (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Bruce Seymour Burt was born on 23 May 1910 in Gawler to parents Charles Seymour James Burt and Ada Charlotte Ferguson (4), and Mona Smith was born on 23 Aug 1910 in Kapunda to parents James Leslie Smith and Mary Elizabeth Snodgrass (5). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser newspaper shows one for Bruce Burt on the 1 March 1976, so he would have died in late February 1976, meaning he died aged 65 yrs, but there is no record of a Funeral Notice for Mona Burt on the 1989 Savill Index (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burt_mona.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burt_bruce.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVydA==&g=QnJ1Y2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I461013 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I660385 6 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html Albert FG Burton died aged 71 years on 13 June 1955; his wife Hilda Dorothea Burton died aged 86 years on 22 Aug 1985; parents of Grace and Ruth (1). The Albert Burton search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription for Albert FG Burton aged 71 years died in 1955, and the Burial Register names him Albert Frederick George Burton (2). The Albert Burton Marriage Index says that Albert Frederick George Burton was married twice. The first marriage was in 1912 to Alice Maria Byrne in the Flinders District; then in 1927 to Hilda Dorothy Sachse in the Port Gawler District (3). The Alice Maria Burton Death Index shows she died in 1921 in the Flinders District (4), and the Alice Maria Burton search at South Australia Cemeteries shows she was buried aged 44 years in Cowell Cemetery (5). Turning to thedata at the LDS website, Albert Frederick George Burton was born 7 Feb 1884 at Yatina SA. His parents were John Burton (born 1842, died 1938 SA) and Eliza Broadribb (born 6 Nov 1846 Fifth Creek SA, died 7 Jan 1934 Unley SA) who were married 19 Jul 1864 Gumeracha. Albert Frederick George Burton was married on 14 Nov 1912 in Cowell to Alice Maria Byrne born 17 Apr 1876 Norwood SA (6). Albert Frederick George Burton’s second wife Hilda Sachse’s Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Hilda Doratea Sachse was born in 1899 to parents Johan Carl August Sachse and Louisa Emma Kauschel in the Gilbert District
(7). A search of Johan Sachse at the LDS website reveals Johan Carl August Sachse was born in 1861 and he was married 11 Sep 1889 at Lights Pass SA to Louise Emma Kruschel born 5 Sep 1864 nr Stockwell (8). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Hilda Doratea Sachse was born Hilda Doratea Sachs[sic] on 2 Jan 1899 in Kainton SA to parents Johan Carl August Sachse {born Abt 1861} and Louisa Emma Kauschel[sic] {born 5 Sep 1864 Nr Stockwell SA} (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burton_albert_f.g._&_hilda_dorothea.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnVydG9u&g=QWxiZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVydG9u&g=QWxiZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QnVydG9u&g=QWxpY2UgTWFyaWE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnVydG9u&g=QWxpY2UgTWFyaWE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I192314&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=U2FjaHNl&g=SGlsZGE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I119259&tree=SouthAustralia 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I333208 728 Harold Lionel Burton died aged 86 years on 4 Nov 1989; husband of Audrey Jean Burton, father of Theo and Dianne (1). The Harold Burton Birth Index at GeneaolgySA shows that Harold Lionel Burton was born in 1903 to parents John William Burton and Emelia Broad in the Burra District (2). The Harold Burton Marriage Index says Harold Lionel Burton was married in 1935 to Audrey Jean Hutchins in the Frome District (3).

Albert Walter Busbridge’s Death Notice was in the Bunyip on Friday 12 April 1940 p5: “Death. Busbridge. On the 3rd April, at his residence, №1 Fotheringham Terrace, Gawler, Albert Walter (Wally), dearly beloved husband of Queenie A Busbridge, and loving father of Nellie and foster father of Roy. Aged 60 years.” (2). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he died on the 4th April, and I thought it looked more like the 5th April but the Bunyip of that time says it was actually the 3rd, and again in his Obituary “Mr Albert Walter (Wally) Busbridge, who died at Gawler on April 3rd, was the youngest son of the late Mr James Busbridge. He was born at Gawler on October 11, 1879, and received his education at the Gawler Public School. As a youth he commenced work with Mr RJ Lavis in November 1892, and so loyally did he serve the respective proprietors that he remained in the one business house throughout, over 40 years. He was associated with Mr Lavis for 9 years, Mr HB Crosby 11 years, Messrs WJ French & Son 13 years, and HJ Robinson 4 years; and for a short period was in business on his own account, and finalised his working days with HJ Robertson Ltd. Whilst with this firm he met with an accident six years ago, from which he never fully recovered. At that time Mr Busbridge was the longest-employed assistant in Gawler. Mr Busbridge did not join in public life, but he was a member of the Rechabite Lodge with many years' standing. He was married to Miss Queenie Parkes, and their union was one of mutual devotion. Of the family there was one daughter, Mrs Lance Davis (Nellie) and Mr Roy Parkes, a foster son, is now a school-master at Stansbury, Yorke Peninsula. During his long illness, his wife and daughter watched faithfully over him, also his sister, Mrs Callaghan, who came over from New Zealand two years ago and hardly left him throughout. The funeral, on the Thursday, was largely attended by relatives and friends, the interment taking place in the Willaston cemetery. The Rev ST Earl conducted services at the home and the graveside.” Bunyip, Friday 12 April 1940 p6 (4). On the LDS website, Albert Walter Busbridge was born 11 Oct 1879 Gawler to parents James Busbridge (b1835 Kent) and Jane Weeks (b1835). Albert Walter Busbridge was married 31 Mar 1904 in Gawler to Queenie Agnes Parkes b1877 (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people does not show any birth details for Queenie Agnes Parkes, but Queenie Parkes is mentioned on an Ancestry.com website as being “born to Isaac Parkes and Selina Cherrison. Queenie married Walter and had 2 children” (6). Also on that Ancestry.com link, Isaac Parkes was born in 1860 to father John Parkes. Isaac married twice, to [1] Grannie Buckle b1880; [2] Selina Cherrison b1865. He had 4 children (Amelia Selina Buckle, Marie Parkes, Queenie Parkes, and Annie Rose Parkes {1888-1965}) (7).

The deceased had a wonderfully free life during his long sojourn of nearly 87 years, for it was not until about five months ago that he needed medical attention, and had to relinquish his usual physical labors. Mr Busbridge was born on December 5, 1835, in the Parish of Gittingham, Kent, England; and arrived in South Australia on June 24, 1855, bringing a wife and one child. The ship on which they travelled was the Taymouth Castle, and this was the first boat to be quarantined in South Australian waters. Mr Busbridge and his children were victims of the disease, smallpox, and they were quarantined on Torrens Island. ..... ... Mr Busbridge was twice married, with no issue by the second wife. The family numbered 14, of whom nine are living, being Mrs W Corey (Willaston), Mrs E Smith (Balaklava), Mrs PJ Callaghan (New Zealand), Mrs T Marriott (Balaklava). Mr Wm Busbridge (Brompton), Messrs James, George, Frank and Walter (Gawler). .... “ Bunyip, Friday 13 January 1922 p2 for full obituary (2). On the LDS website, James Busbridge was born 8 Dec 1835 Gillingham, Kent, England, his father being Edward Busbridge. James was twice married, the first time to Jane Weeks, and after her death (6 Aug 1888), he was married to Mary McCulloch in 1890. James Busbridge firstly was married (in the UK) to Jane Weeks b1835, died 6 Aug 1888 Gawler. Their children were [1] Sarah Ann Catherine Busbridge b1854 England; [2] Jane Busbridge born 19 Apr 1857 Gawler, died 8 Feb 1858; [3] William Busbridge born 2 Jun 1858 Gawler; [4] Jane Busbridge born 1 Dec 1859 Gawler; [5] James Busbridge born 27 May 1861 Gawler; [6] George Alfred Busbridge born 24 Aug 1863 Gawler; [7] Richard Busbridge born 12 Dec 1864 Gawler, died 2 Sep 1891; [8] Emma Maria Busbridge born 24 Dec 1866 Gawler, died 6 Feb 1880 Bowden; [9] Ellen Matilda Busbridge born 27 Sep 1868 Gawler; [10] Annie Busbridge born 24 Jul 1870 Gawler; [11] Edward Henry Busbridge born 8 May 1872 Gawler; [12] Unnamed Busbridge born and died 26 Jul 1873 Gawler; [13] Louisa Adeline Busbridge

James Busbridge’s second marriage was on 6 Sep 1890 in Gawler to Mary McCulloch b1847 (3). James Busbridge’s second marriage, according to page 4 of The Advertiser Friday 3 October 1890 (4), was to Mary Bullough, not McCulloch: “Busbridge—Bullough. On the 6th September, at the residence of the bride, by the Rev J Gordon, Presbyterian minister, James Busbridge, to Mary Bullough, both of Gawler.” The marital history of the children of James and Jane: [1] Sarah Ann Catherine Busbridge was married 20 Apr 1872 in Gawler to William Emery Corey; [3] William Busbridge was married 30 Sep 1877 in North Adelaide to Sarah Jane Dixon; [4] Jane Busbridge born 1 Dec 1859 in Gawler was married 21 Apr 1881 Gawler to Elisha Smith; [5] James Busbridge was married 1 Dec 1881 Kapunda to Harriet Sarah Long; [6] George Alfred Busbridge was married 3 Jan 1883 Gawler to Annie Matilda Biggen Larsen; [7] Richard Busbridge was first married 30 Jul 1883 in Tarlee to Sarah Ann Harvey, then on 15 Nov 1890 in Gawler to Ethelleen Johnston.

The James Busbridge Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1881, he married Harriet Sarah Long in the Kapunda District (2). Turning to the information on the LDS website, Harriet Sarah Long was born 21 Oct 1864 Stockport SA to parents William Long (b1838) and Sarah Ann Sparshott (b1838), who had married on the 25 Jul 1861 at Gawler River. Harriet Sarah Long was married 1 Dec 1881 Kapunda to James Busbridge born 27 May 1861 Gawler. Their children were [1] Eva Sarah Busbridge born 22 Apr 1881 Gawler; [2] James William Sparshott Busbridge born 5 Jul 1883 Gawler; [3] Violet Alberta Victoria Busbridge born 12 Jul 1900 Gawler River (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/busbridge_harriet_sarah_&_james.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVzYnJpZGdl&g=SmFtZXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I193523&tree=SouthAustralia Leonard C Busbridge died aged 46 years on 23 Feb 1953; his wife Linda Busbridge nee Schulz died aged 89 years on 12 March 1993 (1). The Leonard Busbridge search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Leonard C Busbridge aged 46y died 1953 on the Memorial Inscription but on the Burial Register it says Leonard George Busbridge (2). This notice confirms it is ‘G’: “Schulz— Busbridge. On the 16th of August, at Sedan, by the Rev W Catterall, Linda, third daughter of the late Mr and Mrs A Herman Schulz, Sedan, to Leonard G, son of Mr F Busbridge, Gawler.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 9 October 1940 p8 (3). Definitive proof: “Death: Busbridge. On February 23, Leonard George, beloved husband of Linda Busbridge. Aged 46 years. At rest”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 26 February 1953 p34 (4). The Leonard Busbridge Birth Index shows only one name: Leonard George Busbridge was born in 1906 to parents Franh Filly[sic] Busbridge and Florence Amelia Wood in the Barossa District (5). I think Franh Filly Busbridge should really be Frank Tilley Busbridge. The “A Herman Schulz” search at the LDS website reveals an August Herman Schulz who was born 27 Mar 1862 North Rhine SA to parents Johann August Schulz (born c1835) and Johanna Louisa Nitschke (also born c1835). August Herman Schulz was married on 23 Apr 1891 in North Rhine to Hannah Elisabeth Rothe born 2 Sep 1868 North Rhine. Their children (all born in Sedan) were [1] Alma Gertrude Schulz born 25 Sep 1892; [2] Hermann Richard Schulz born 9 Jul 1894; [3] Antonie Adelheid Schulz born 13 Jan 1897; [4] Edwin Bruno Schulz born 27 Jan 1900; [5] Benno August Schulz born 18 Jun 1901; [6] Maria Louise Linda Schulz born 8 Jun 1903 (6). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Leonard George Busbridge was born on 20 Oct 1906 in Gawler to parents Franh[sic] Filly[sic] Busbridge and Florence Amelia Wood (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/busbridge_leonard_c_&_linda_%28nee_schulz%29.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnVzYnJpZGdl&g=TGVvbmFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30590083?searchTerm=Leonard%20Busbridge&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93931911?searchTerm=Leonard%20George%20Busbridge&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnVzYnJpZGdl&g=TGVvbmFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I27891&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I330761 Lulu Busbridge died aged 28 years on 5 June 1908; wife of AJ Busbridge (1). The ‘A Busbridge’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA seeking an AJ Busbridge marriage to Lulu shows there actually was one: Albert John Busbridge was married in 1898 to Lulu Frances Battle in Adelaide (2). According to the LDS website, Albert John Busbridge was born 9 Jun 1880 Bowden SA to parents William Busbridge (born 2 Jun 1858 Gawler) and Sarah Jane Dixon (born 20 May 1857 North Adelaide), who had married 30 Sep 1877 in North Adelaide. Albert John Busbridge was married 12 Feb 1898 in Adelaide to Louisa Frances Battle born 7 Jun 1880 Hindmarsh, and died 5 Jun 1908 Gawler. Their children were [1] Adeline Louisa Busbridge born 26 Sep 1898 Brompton Park SA; [2] Clifford Roy Busbridge born 14 Feb 1900 Brompton Park; [3] Emily Sarah Busbridge born 21 Apr 1902 Gawler; [4-6] “Living” Busbridge children. After Lulu died in 1908, Albert John Busbridge again married. On 29 May 1909 at Brompton he was wed to Sarah Amelia Burzacott born 15 Jan 1885 Currency Creek SA (3). Lulu’s Death: “Busbridge. On the 5th June, at Gawler, Lulu Frances, dearly beloved wife of AJ Busbridge, leaving a husband and six children to mourn their sad loss, aged 28 years.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 4 July 1908 p33 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/busbridge_lulu.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVzYnJpZGdl&g=QQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I193485&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88385078?searchTerm=Emma%20Busbridge%20Frank&searchLimits= Emma Busbridge died aged 68 years on 11 May 1954; her husband Frank Busbridge died aged 71 years on 22 April 1949 (1). “Busbridge. On May 11, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Emma Eveline, relict of Frank Busbridge and loved mother of Bert, May, Harry, Ethel, Len (deceased), Queen, Iris, Ken and Edith. Aged 68 years. Reunited.” The Advertiser, Thursday 13 May 1954 p26 (2). But we found already on the LDS website [see Note 730], that Frank Tilley Busbridge who was born 27 Jan 1878 Gawler was married 15 Nov 1897 in Gawler to Florence Amelia Wood (3). So could Emma be short for Amelia? On the Frank Busbridge Marriage Index at GenealogySA, we find out (with some relief) that Frank Filley[sic] Busbridge was married twice. Marriage 1 was in 1897 when he married Florance Amela[sic] Wood. Marriage 2 was in 1920 when he was wed to Emma Eveline Curtis (4), and the Emma Eveline Curtis Birth Index shows she was
born in 1885 to parents John Curtis and Emma Rogers in the Upper Wakefield District (5). On the LDS website, Emma Eveline’s father John Curtis was born 12 Apr 1839 in Devon, England, died 24 Feb 1922 Semaphore SA, and is buried Balaklava SA . His parents were Richard Curtis and Mary Veale. After leaving England, they arrived in SA on 3 May 1847 aboard the Theresa. John Curtis was a miner and a farmer, residing in Auburn, Balaklava, Edwardstown, and Semaphore. John Curtis’s first marriage on 6 Dec 1862 East Auburn SA was to Hannah Maria Coope [or Cope] (parents Samuel Coope and Harriett Helwell) who was born March 1843, died 25.3.1872 and buried at Auburn SA. Their children were [1] Henry Hallwell Curtis born 11 Sep 1863; [2] Albert Curtis born 12 Sep 1865, died 25 Feb 1866 Rices Creek SA; [3] Herbert Curtis born 8 May 1867, d1939; [4] George Curtis born 12 Oct 1869, East Auburn, d1896; [5] John Curtis born 11 Mar 1872, nr Auburn, 28 Mar 1872, nr Auburn. John Curtis’s second marriage was on 12 Aug 1872 at Nantawarra SA. His bride was Emma Elizabeth Rogers born 3 July1853 Auburn, died 26 Apr 1937 Balaklava, where she is buried. Her parents were Charles Rogers and Sarah Anne Bridget Montague. John and Emma’s children [1] John William Curtis born 24 May 1873 Rices Creek; [2] Edward Curtis born 14 Mar 1875 nr Auburn, died 4 Aug 1901; [3] Mary Elizabeth Tucker nee Curtis born 7 Aug 1876 Rices Creek; [4] David Thomas Curtis born 10 Apr 1878 Rices Creek, d1952; [5] Charles Bradgate Curtis born 25 Jun 1879, died 16 Jun 1889 Bowillia SA; [6] Sarah Smith nee Curtis born 25 Oct 1880; [7] Ernest Richard Curtis born 12 May 1882 nr Auburn; [8] Annie Jane Veitch nee Curtis born 7 Jan 1884 Rices Creek; [9] Emma Eveline Busbridge nee Curtis born 27 Nov 1885 Rices Creek; [10] Robert Archibald Curtis born 22 Jul 1887 Blyth SA, d1953; [11] Louis James Curtis born 20 Mar 1889 nr Blyth; [12] Olive Rose Curtis born 15 Sep 1890 Blyth, died 24 Dec 1890 nr Blyth; [13] Edith Myrtle Rodgers nee Curtis born 20 Jan 1893 Blyth, died 5 Aug 1980 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/busbridge_frank_&_emma.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48130674?searchTerm=Emma%20Busbridge&searchLimits= 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F53288&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVzYnJpZGdl&g=RnJhbms=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3VydGlz&g=RW1tYSBFdmVsaW5l&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I170180&tree=SouthAustralia 735 William W Butcher died aged 78 years on 19 Dec 1929; his wife Harriet E Butcher died aged 76 years on 26 Jan 1938; their sons Stephen George Butcher died aged 26 years on 9 Aug 1920, and Bert Butcher died aged 42 years on 10 Jan 1941 (1). A William Butcher search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription for William W Butcher who died aged 78 years in 1929, with the Burial Register naming him William Walter Butcher (2), and the William Butcher Marriage Index shows that in 1882 William Walter Butcher married Harriet Elizabeth Garrett in the Barossa District (3). The ‘all Butcher’ Birth Index reveals William Walter Butcher and Harriet Elizabeth Garrett in the Port Gawler District had ten children [1] William Benjamin Noble Butcher b1883; [2] Charles Arthur Butcher b1884; [3] Alfred Edwin Butcher b1886; [4] Beryl Burnip Butcher b1888; [5] Richard Thomas Butcher b1890; [6] Stephen George Butcher b1893; [7] Albert Edward Butcher b1896; [8] Codin Lenoard[sic] Butcher b1898; [9] Dorethy Ellen Butcher b1900; [10] Allison Jack Butcher b1906 (4). Bert Butcher is presumably Albert Edward Butcher, but he was born in 1896, and not c1898 {if you subtract 42 years from early January 1941}. So he must have been 44 years old, and not the 42 years old as it appears on the headstone (1). The Advertiser, Saturday 11 January 1941 p12 states that he was 44 years old: “Butcher. On the 10th of January, Albert Edward, dearly beloved husband of Phyllis Butcher, of Kimba, late of Gawler, and 50th Battalion, AIF. Aged 44 years. ..." (5). From his WWI record, taken from the Gawler WWI Honour Roll website, Albert Edward Butcher, Lance-Corporal in the 50th Battalion enlisted 3rd March 1915, overseas service, discharged 19 April 1919. He was born 3 June 1896 in Gawler West, son of WilliamButcher and Harriet Elizabeth Garrett, Bridge St, Gawler. Prior to enlistment was a farrier’s assistant. He died in Kimba on 10 Jan 1941 (6). This next reference confirms that Bert was the 6th son: “Butcher. On the 10th of January, at Adelaide, Albert Edward (Bert), sixth son of the late Mr and Mrs WW Butcher, of Gawler, and much loved brother of Will, Charl, Alf, Beryl, Tom, Colin, Dorothy and Jack. ...", The Advertiser, Monday 13 January 1941 p8 (7). William Walter Butcher was actually aged 75 years old when he died in 1931, in his 76th year, making his year of birth c1854: “Deaths: Butcher. On December 19, at the Citizens' Hospital, Gawler, William Walter, the dearly beloved husband of Harriet Elizabeth Butcher, of Tenth street, Gawler South, in his 76th year”, News (Adelaide), Saturday 19 December 1931 p8 (8). The wedding: “Butcher-Garrett. On the 12th September, at the residence of the bride's mother, by the Rev S Howard, Walter, second son of Mr BN Butcher, of Colac, Victoria, to Harriet Elizabeth, eldest daughter of the late Richard Garrett jun, of Tanunda,” South Australian Register, Saturday 21 Oct 1882 p4 (9). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Stephen George Butcher was born on 25 May 1893 in Gawler to parents William Walter Butcher and Harriet Garrett (10), and Harriet Elizabeth Butcher nee Garrett was born Elizabeth Harriet Garrett on 16 Jun 1860 Near Tanunda SA to parents Richard Garrett and Mary Ann Thorncroft (11), but there is no RootsWeb birth record for William Walter Butcher. However, the writing on the headstone is wrong about when William Walter Butcher died. As noted above, he died in 1931 in his 76th year, making his calculated year of birth c1856 (7), and confirmed by another Death Notice: “Deaths: Butcher. On the 19th December at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, William Walter, beloved husband of Harriet and loved father of seven surviving sons and two daughters. Sadly missed,” Bunyip, Friday 25 December 1931 p3 (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/butcher_william_w,_harriet_e,_stephen_george_&_bert.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnV0Y2hlcg==&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnV0Y2hlcg==&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnV0Y2hlcg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/41914734?searchTerm=Albert%20Butcher%20Gawler%201941&searchLimits=l-title=44 6 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/b.html 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/41914859?searchTerm=Albert%20Butcher%20Gawler&searchLimits= 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/129017813?searchTerm=Harriet%20Butcher%20Gawler&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43340092?searchTerm=Butcher%20Garrett&searchLimits= 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I331117 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I730631 12 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96640741?searchTerm=William%20Butcher%201930&searchLimits= 736 Thomas D Butler died aged 92 (in his 93rd year) on 19 March 1963; his wife Emma H (Tot) Butler died aged 76 years on 3 March 1949 (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Thomas D Butler was 93 years old but he was 92 years old, in his 93rd year. It also says that his wife Emma H Butler was 25 years old when she died, but it sure looks like 76 years to me on the headstone (2). An ‘all Butler’ search on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Memorial Inscriptions for Thomas D Butler in his 93rd year in 1963, and Emma H (Tot) Butler aged 76 years in 1949; and the Burial Register names them Thomas Daniel Butler and Emma Henrietta Butler (3). On the LDS website, Thomas Daniel Butler was born in 1869, his father was William Butler. Thomas

Daniel Butler was married on 16 Apr 1897 in Gawler to Emma Henrietta Corey born 25 Feb 1873 Gawler. They had a son Claude Thomas Newman Butler born 15 Feb 1899 Gawler (4). Aubrey Butler’s death: “Gawler Road Fatality: At the conclusion of an inquest held at the Gawler courtroom yesterday into the death of Aubrey Eric Butler, 35, turner, of Fifth street, Gawler South, who received shocking head injuries when he was struck by a motor car on the Gawler road, near Gawler, on February 15 .....

Thomas Daniel Butler, of Adelaide road, Gawler South, father of the dead man, said that his son was an experienced cyclist ....”. Excerpts from the Advertiser, Wednesday 4 March 1936 p19 (5). The ‘all Butler’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows not only Claude Thomas Newman Butler b1899, Thomas Daniel Butler and Emma Henrietta Carey[sic] had another son in 1901, Aubrey Eric Butler (6). The Aubrey Eric Butler Marriage Index shows he was married in 1926 to Amy Jean Draper (7). The Amy Jean Draper Birth Index shows her birth in 1903 to parents Charles Draper and Catherine Eyers (8). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Aubrey Eric Butler was born on 12 Apr 1901 in Gawler to parents Thomas Daniel Butler and Emma Henrietta Carey (9), but there’s no birth details for Thomas Daniel Butler on RootsWeb, although it does show that Amy Jean Draper was born on 8 Feb 1903 in Bertha SA to Charles Draper and Catherine Eyers (10). According to website Geni, Thomas Daniel Butler was born c1870 in Lancefield, Victoria and died March 19, 1963 in South Australia (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/butler_emma_h_%28tot%29_&_thomas_d.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnV0bGVy&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I174582&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35413280?searchTerm=Thomas%20Daniel%20Butler&searchLimits= 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnV0bGVy&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnV0bGVy&g=QXVicmV5&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RHJhcGVy&g=QW15IEplYW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I331190 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I271464 11 http://www.geni.com/people/Thomas-Daniel-Butler/6000000011151162509 Doris Butler died aged 75 years on 17 June 1975; her husband Claude Butler [Note 736] died aged 36 years on 20 Feb 1935; parents of Maxeen and Vernon (1).

The Doris West Birth Index shows Doris Helena West was born in 1899 to parents Frederick Charles West and Ellen Horsell (3).

The John Butterfield Birth Index on GenealogySA has one entry for 1909, John Michael Butterfield who was born to parents Thomas Butterfield and Mary Ann McLeod in the Flinders District (3). There’s little else to find for either using those first names on GenealogySA. Whilst searching Jack Flo Butterfield on Trove, this was noted, giving a clue as to Flo’s maiden name: “White. On January 30, at Magill Hospital, Albert Alfred, beloved husband of the late Jane White, of Owen, and loved father of Joyce and Annie (deceased), dear father and father- in-law of Flo and Jack Butterfield, of Owen, aged 67 years. United with his loved one.” The Advertiser, Tuesday 31 January 1950 p14 (4). The ‘all White’ Birth Index seeking a father named Albert Alfred White, and a daughter named Florence EM, of the scores of possible combinations, the following was the only entry to fit all criteria: Florence Ethel May White was born in 1910 to parents Albert Alfred White and Jane McKenzie in the Gilbert District (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/butterfield_john_m..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/butterfield_florence_e.m..jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnV0dGVyZmllbGQ=&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/50215595?searchTerm=Jack%20Flo%20Butterfield&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=V2hpdGU=&g=RmxvcmVuY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== Reginald Ernest Button died aged 79 years on 11 Sept 1992, son of the late Robert and Katherine Button [see Note 100 for discussion on his parents] (1). The Reginald Button Birth Index at GenealogySA has Reginald Ernest Button’s birth year as 1912, with parents Robert Ernest Button and Katherine Mabel Mortimer (2). This has to be the Reginald Ernest Button birth notice, right year, right father, right time of year to be still 79 years old when he died: “Births. Button. On the 10th November, at Calton-road, Gawler, the wife of RE Button — of a son.” The Advertiser, Thursday 14 November 1912 p8 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/button_reginald_ernest.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnV0dG9u&g=UmVnaW5hbGQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5351178?searchTerm=Button%20Gawler%20son&searchLimits=l-decade=191 Beatrice May Byrne who died aged 16 years on 8 October 1899, has her memorial on a different face of the same headstone as Edward Byrne who died aged 62 on 11 July 1897, he was the husband of Mary Ann Byrne (1). In the Bunyip of Friday 10 May 1889 p3, there is some information on the Byrne sisters scattered through a Gawler Court report: Miss MA (Maggie), Aggy, Beatty and Florie Byrnes all appear to be sisters (2) all living with their parents Mr Edward Byrnes and Mrs Mary Ann Byrnes. They may have come from interstate as there are no birth records for any of the family on GenealogySA. The crunch to the family seemed to have come when Mr Edward Byrne died: “Deaths: Byrnes[sic]. On the 11th July at his residence, Gawler South, Edward Byrnes, aged 62.” Bunyip, Friday 16 July 1897 p2 (3). A little more information is given the following day: “Byrne. On the 11th July, at Gawler South, Edward Byrne, the beloved husband of Mary Ann Byrne, in his 62nd year. A colonist of 46 years. Born at Wicklow near Dublin, Dublin and West Australian papers please copy”, Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 17 July 1897 p10 (4). On the Town of Gawler website, Edward Byrne aged 61 years who last resided in Gawler South was buried 13/7/1897 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 31 A 3, with Father Carr officiating (5). From these reports, it is clear that he was aged 61 years when he died, in his 62nd year. The next I could find was in 1899, when this notice appeared: “Deaths: Byrne. On 8th October, at Argent street North, Broken Hill NSW, of hemorrhage of the lungs, Beatrice May, daughter of Mrs E Byrne, late of Gawler SA. WA papers please copy”. Bunyip, Friday 13 October 1899 p2 (6). The age on the headstone is 16 years old, but the Gawler Council Register says she was 15 years: “Beatrice May Byrne aged 15 years who last resided in Broken Hill NSW was buried 10/10/1899 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 30 A 3, with Prior Kindalan officiating” (7). The reference to WA may have been
prior to their stay in Gawler, which would help explain their lack of information on GenealogySA. Although the family had moved to Broken Hill, the burial was with Mrs Byrne’s husband, in the adjacent plot at Willaston. Of interest is that another of the Byrne sisters is also buried in Willaston, sharing Beatrice May’s grave: After a gap of 20 years since her sister Beatrice died, “Margaret Byrne [no age given] who last resided in Broken Hill NSW was buried 23/12/1919 Willaston Cemetery in the same Plot/Grave/Niche 30 A 3, with Rev Father Maher officiating” (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/byrne_edward_&_beatrice_may.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97229367?searchTerm=Margaret%20Byrne&searchLimits=l-title=371 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97574897?searchTerm=Edward%20Byrne&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87693161?searchTerm=Edward%20Byrne&searchLimits=l-decade=189|||l-title=291 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30137 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97580787?searchTerm=Beatrice%20Byrne&searchLimits=l-title=371 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30945 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32372 741 Hanorah Gertrude Byrne died aged 72 years on 27 July 1955; wife of Andrew Byrne [deceased], mother of Bell, ?Anne?, Ron and Andrew (1). This headstone is quite difficult to read, and it was slightly better after enlarging the picture. The Andrew Byrne Marriage Index at GenealogySA showed only one possible match, Andrew Byrne was married in 1910 in Adelaide to Nora Garland (2). It is tempting to claim a match, but we’d need more than this. There’s no record of a Nora or Hanorah Garland on the Birth Index at GenealogySA, and what happened to her middle name? The Hanorah Byrne Death Index shows that Hanorah Gertrude Byrne died in 1955 in the Hindmarsh District, and her nominated relative was her deceased husband Andrew Percival Byrne (3). On the Town of Gawler website, Hanorah Gertrude Byrne aged 72 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 30/07/1955 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 43 E 3, with Rev Father Sparkes officiating (4). This is not with the Edward Byrne family graves. Andrew Byrne was from Broken Hill: “Byrne-Garland. On the 24th May, at St Francis Cathedral, by the Rev Father Denny, Andrew Byrne, of Broken Hill, to Nora Garland, second youngest daughter of M Richmond, of Lucindale”, The Advertiser, Saturday 28 May 1910 p12 (5). But I cannot find the precise date of birth of Nora Garland 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/byrne_hanorah_gertrude.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnlybmU=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QnlybmU=&g=SGFub3JhaA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33797 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5282061?searchTerm=garland%20byrne&searchLimits= 742 George Bywater died 1930; Eva Bywater also died. There is nothing much else legible on this old cross, except below ‘George’ seems to be the faint name ‘Enid’ (1). I’m not sure how the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery got all their information, but I’ll happily accept that George Bywater died aged 74 years on 4 Feb 1930; and Eva Bywater also died aged 74 years on 20 July 1947, maybe there’s another headstone they’re not showing. (2). The George Bywater Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows us that George Thomas Bywater was married in 1896 to Eva Giles in the Port Gawler District (3). According to the LDS website, George Thomas Bywaters[sic] was born 6 Jun 1855 at Gumeracha SA to parents George Bywaters (b1832 Lincolnshire, England, died 4 Nov 1878 Gawler) and Elizabeth Sarah Carman (b1833 Kent, England, died 1 Feb 1904 Gawler), who had married 20 Apr 1854 South Rhine SA. George Thomas Bywaters was a tea seller, who resided in Gawler South. He was married twice. He first was married in Gawler 5 May 1880 to Mary Ann Barfield born 9 Apr 1858 Gawler Plains (parents William and Susan Barfield), and she died 30 Jun 1894 Gawler. Their children (all born in Gawler) were [1] Ernest George William Bywaters born 30 Mar 1881; [2] Norman Henry James Bywaters born 19 Apr 1882, died 16 Jan 1883 Gawler; [3] Ada Mary Ann Bywaters born 28 Jun 1883; [4] Herbert Arthur Henry Bywaters born 2 Apr 1885, died 20 Nov 1885 Gawler; [5] Horace Charles Carman Bywaters born 28 May 1887, died 11 Dec 1887 Gawler; [6] Mary Berry Springbett Bywaters born 28 May 1887, died 4 Dec 1887, Gawler; [7] Frederick James Arthur Bywaters born 19 Jan 1890, died 2 Mar 1890 Gawler; [8] Walter Edward Barfield Bywaters born 19 Jan 1890, died 27 Feb 1890 Gawler; [9] Martha Elizabeth Hannah Bywaters born 31 Mar 1892. George Thomas Bywaters married again after Mary Ann died 1894, this time he was married on 18 Mar 1896 in Gawler to Eva Giles b1872. They had a child named Violet Victoria Bywaters born 24 May 1902 Gawler South (4). The Bywater / Bywaters surname seems interchangeable. The Eva Giles Birth Index shows two names, but one was born 1882, the other 1888; neither near the birth year of Eva Giles c1872 who married George Thomas Bywater (5), but the LDS site tells us that Eva Giles was born in 1872 to father Joshua Giles (6), but her birth record doesn’t seem to be on RootsWeb either. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bywater_george_&_eva.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qnl3YXRlcg==&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I192218&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=R2lsZXM=&g=RXZh&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I192234&tree=SouthAustralia 743 Margaret Cains, widow of James Cains died aged 90 yrs on 20 May 1932, and she was a mother (1). Her calculated year of birth would be c1842. The ‘all Cains’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of James Cains and Margaret __ all born in the Frome District [1] Ellen Cains b1862 to parents James Cains and Margaret Buchanan; [2] Martha Caines b1864 to parents James Caines and Margaret Buchanan; [4] James Cains b1867 to parents James Cains and Margaret Buchanan; [5] Mary Ann Cains b1869 to parents James Cains and Margaret Buchanan; [6] Emma Jane Caines b1871 to parents James Caines and Margaret Buchanan; [7] Elizabeth Cains b1873 to parents James Cains and Margaret Buchanan; [8] John Hendry Cains b1875 to parents James Cains and Margaret Buchanan; [10] Agnes Cains b1880 to parents James Cains and Margarett Buchanan; [11] Julia Davis Cains b1881 to parents James Cains and Margaret Buchanan; [12] Samuel George Daues Cains b1883 to parents James Cains and Margrett Buchanan (2). The ‘all Kains’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows several more children [3] Margaret Kains b1866 to parents James Kains and Margaret Buchanan in Adelaide; [9] William Kanes b1877 to parents James Kanes and Margaret Buchanan in the Frome District (3), making a total of at least 12 children, and a lot of name variations. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Margaret Buchanan was born Abt 1843. The marriage between James Cain (aged 22 yrs, born circa 1839, father Henry Cain), and Margaret Buchanan (aged 18 yrs, born circa 1843, Father James Buchanan), was on the 1 March 1861 at the residence of Mr Graham at Horricks Creek. The children of James Caines[sic] and Margaret Buchanan included [1] Ellen Caines born 26 Mar 1862 in Beautiful Valley SA; [2] Martha Caines born 26 Apr 1864 in Beautiful Valley; [3] Margaret Caines born 10 Feb 1866 in Corunna, near Port Augusta SA; [4] James Caines born 27 Dec 1867 at Mount Brown, Saltina SA; [5] Mary Ann Caines born 11 Sep 1869 at Mount Brown; [6] Emma Jane Caines born 14 Jun 1871 at Mount

They seem to have missed [9] William Kanes b1877. We cannot get closer to Margaret Buchanan’s exact date of birth than born c1843, despite searching on the LDS website and general Googling. Her obituary: “Mrs M Cains. Mrs Margaret Cains, who died last week at the residence of her son, Mr WA Cains, Fourth street, Gawler South, was 90. She married the late Mr James Cains, and is survived by four sons, seven daughters, 28 grand children, 59 great-grand-children, and three great-great-grandchildren. She was a colonist of 84 years”.

Thelma Bywaters was born 11 Nov 1907, died 22 April 1992, wife of Ted etc (2). On the assumption that Ted was an abbreviation, often for Edward, the Edward Bywaters search at Newspaper Death Notices (as they often include nicknames) did reveal that the Advertiser in 1998 had a notice for Edward James (Ted) Bywaters (3). The Edward Bywaters Marriage Index shows that in 1926 Edward James Bywaters married Thelma Coral Gertrude Harris in the Daly District (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bywaters_ted.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bywaters_thelma.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Qnl3YXRlcnM=&g=RWR3YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qnl3YXRlcnM=&g=RWR3YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 745 Florence Louisa Bywaters died aged 84 years on 30 April 1962; her husband William George Bywaters died aged 73 years on 23 May 1954 (1). The William Bywaters Marriage Index shows that William George Bywaters was married in 1904 to Florence Louisa Andersen in the Port Gawler District (2). The Florence Andersen Birth Index shows no Florence Louisa Andersen (3). According to the LDS data, William George Bywaters was born 28 Jun 1880 Gawler to parents William Wesseldine Bywaters (born 18 May 1857 Gumeracha, died 22 Oct 1944 SA) and Sarah Ann Nottle (born 15 Mar 1857 Mudla Wirra, died 28 Feb 1892 Gawler), who married 14 Mar 1880 Gawler River. William George Bywaters was married 4 Apr 1904 Gawler to Florence Louisa Andersen b1879 (4). A Google search for Florence Louisa Andersen shows a RootsWeb site that tells us she was born in 1878 {father was Martin Andersen} and she died on 30 Apr 1962 in Gawler. She was married to William George Bywaters {born 28 Jun 1880 in Gawler South Dist} at the residence of her father Martin Andersen in Gawler South on 4 Apr 1904 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bywaters_william_george_&_florence_louisa.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qnl3YXRlcnM=&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QW5kZXJzZW4=&g=RmxvcmVuY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I192244&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=gladysclancy&id=I3280 746 Clara IEJ Caddle died aged 30 years on 5 Nov 1914 and Andrew Caddle died aged 17 years on 3 June 1925 are the two Caddle surnamed burials on this Greening family headstone which records John Greening died aged 84 years on 26 Nov 1897 and Susannah Greening died aged 83 years on 5 Dec 1904 who are buried here, but also many others who are buried in Willaston Cemetery in unmarked graves. These are Percival G Thompson died aged 3 years on 20 Jan 1898; Reece HM Greening died aged 6 months on 22 Dec 1907; William HS Greening who died aged 6 months on 2 Jan 1908; Stanley F Greening who died aged 2 days old 23 Feb 1916 and an unnamed Greening who was stillborn on 23 June 1920; Irene DM Merrifield who died aged 3 wks on 3 May 1909; Beatrice E Merrifield who died aged 41 years on 9 May 1909; Elsie M Merrifield who died aged 2 years on 6 July 1909; Leslie EE Pratt who died aged 11 years on 9 May 1909 (1). How sad this is, it must have been a terrible time in those days, especially in May 1909 when 3 died within a week! See Note 415 for some discussion of the Greening family. On the LDS website, John Greening was born c1813, and died 26 Nov 1897 Reeves Plains. His wife was Mrs Susannah Greening b1819, died 5 Dec 1904 Gawler Plains. They had a son called William Greening b1839 (2). Also using LDS information, William Greening b1839 was married 17 Apr 1866 Stockport SA to Ann Pierson b1843. Their children were [1] Beatrice Elizabeth Greening born 23 Oct 1867 nr Stockport, died 9 May 1909 Adelaide; [2] Ava Edith Greening born 23 May 1869 Light SA; [3] Julian John James Greening born 25 Mar 1871 Light; [4] Smith Henry Pierson Greening born 2 May 1873 nr Stockport; [5] Sydney Lang Ferbank Greening born 2 May 1873 nr Stockport; [6] Annie Susannah Greening born 5 Aug 1875 Koolunga; [7] Herbert William George Greening born 1 Aug 1877 Koolunga; [8] Alice Martha Greening b 20 May 1879 Koolunga, died 19 Jun 1879 Koolunga; [9] Cecilia Martha Mary Greening born 21 May 1880 Koolunga; [10] Willie Augustine Greening born 15 Apr 1882 nr Hamley Bridge; [11] Clara Irma Greening born 28 Oct 1884 Hamley Bridge; [12] Norman Charles Josephus Greening born 23 Jul 1887 Pinkerton Plains (3). Further history at the LDS website of the children of William Greening and Ann Pierson [1] Beatrice Elizabeth Greening was twice married, firstly on 21 Dec 1901 in Gawler to Joseph Pratt, and then on 6 Oct 1891 at Reeves Plains to Thomas Merrifield; [3] Julian John James Greening was married on 4 Apr 1900 in Adelaide to Alice Stacey; [4] Smith Henry Pierson Greening was married on 10 Jul 1900 at Kersbrook to Gwenllyan Mary Powell; [5] Sydney Lang Ferbank Greening was married on 29 Mar 1905 at Kersbrook to Sarah Louisa Goodridge; [6] Annie Susannah Greening was married on 9 Oct 1893 at Reeves Plains to John Pratt; [7] Herbert William George Greening was married on the 26 Dec 1906 at Williamstown SA to Jessie Lydia Clarke; [9] Cecilia Martha Mary Greening was married on 10 Jul 1902 in Kersbrook to William James Stephenson; [10] Willie Augustine Greening was married on 23 May 1906 in Kersbrook to Ellen Maude Stephenson; [11] Clara Irma Greening was married on 18 Aug 1906 in Gawler to John Mitchell Murray Caddle; [12] Norman Charles Josephus Greening was married 17 Apr 1911 in Gawler to Daisy May Causby (4). The Clara Greening Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows Clara Irene Ester Jane Greening was married in 1906 to John Mitchell Murray Caddle (5). The Andrew Caddle Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Andrew William Caddle was born in 1907 to parents John Mitchell Murray Caddle and Clara Irene Esther Jane Greening (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Andrew William Caddle was born on 21 Jun 1907 in Goose Island, Gawler to parents John Mitchell Murray Caddle {born Abt 1876} and Clara Irene Esther Jane Greening {born 28 Oct 1884 Hamley Bridge} (6). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Andrew Caddle died in 1920 (7) but the headstone says 1926. In fact, Andrew William Caddle died on 3 Sept 1925: “Fatalities and Accidents: At Roseworthy on Thursday afternoon, Andrew William Caddle (19), formerly a ward of the State, was run over and killed. He was employed by Mr JJ Pratt, farmer, of Reeves Plains. Between 1.30 and 2 pm, he was carting limestone in a two-horse tip dray in the rear of the Agricultural College. Another loaded dray was in front of him. The horse was driven by his friend and the son of his employer, Mr LR Pratt. Mr Caddle was
sitting on the top of his load, but he fell off, and was dragged for some distance. Mr Pratt at length managed to stop the horses, but not before the wheels of the dray had passed over Mr Caddle's chest. He died in his friend's arms. The police were summoned, and an urgent call was sent to Dr JB Gillen, of Gawler, but life was extinct when he arrived” The Advertiser, Friday 4 September 1925 p16 (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/caddle_clara_i.e.j._&_andrew.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I153826&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I44370&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F11280&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I462678 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44626460?searchTerm=Andrew%20William%20Caddle&searchLimits= 747 Denis Callaghan died aged 12 years on July 15 1875; Ellen Rose Callaghan died aged 16 years on 23 July 1875; they died within 8 days of each other (1). The ‘all Callaghan’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries Willaston Cemetery has Memorial Inscriptions for Denis Callaghan aged 13y who died in 1875; and for Ellen Rose Callaghan who died aged 16 years also in 1875 (2). There are few records of Denis at GenealogySA, but the Ellen Callaghan Birth Index shows that there was an Ellen Callaghan born in 1859 to parents Jeremiah Callagan and Bridget Malony in the Port Gawler District (3). To confirm her full name and lineage, the Ellen Callaghan Death Index shows that when Ellen Rose Callaghan died in 1875, the nominated relative was her father Jeremiah Callaghan (4). On the LDS website, Jeremiah Callaghan had resided at Peachey Belt, Gawler, Salisbury and Virginia. He was married on the 29 Oct 1851 in Adelaide to Bridget Malony.

On the Gawler Council website, Denis Callaghan aged 12 yrs who last resided in Gawler was buried 18/4/1875 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 42 A 3, with Rev A Bourke officiating (6). Ellen Callaghan aged 16 yrs who last resided in Gawler was buried 25/4/1875 Willaston Cemetery in the re-opened Plot/ Grave/ Niche 42 A 3 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/callaghan_denis_&_ellen_rose.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2FsbGFnaGFu&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FsbGFnaGFu&g=RWxsZW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q2FsbGFnaGFu&g=RWxsZW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I191599&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29517 7 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29518 748 Owen Callahan died aged 75 years on 25 Nov 1939; his wife Harriet Callahan died aged 81 on 24 June 1948 (1). The Owen Callahan Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Owen Michael Callahan was married in 1905 in the Port Adelaide District to Harriet Elizabeth Warner (2), and the Harriet Warner Birth Index shows that a Harriet Warner was born in 1867 to parents Christopher Warner and Ellen Grant in the Flinders District (3). Searching on Trove shows Harriet’s death: “Callahan. On June 24, at 44 Canning street, Rosewater, Harriet Elizabeth, loved wife of the late Owen Callahan, formerly of Gawler, aged 81 years. Requiescat in pace”, Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 1 July 1948 p38 (4). Owen’s death: “Callahan. On November 25, at his residence, Seventh street, Gawler South, Owen, dearly beloved husband of Harriet Callahan in his seventy-fifth year. Requiescat In pace”. The Mail (Adelaide), Saturday 25 November 1939 p2 (5). Theirs seems a rather late marriage, Owen being 41 years old and Harriet 38 years old, and their is no mention of children from it on either death notice, confirmed by the lack of children born to these parents on the ‘all Callahan’ Birth Index at GenealogySA (6). Deaths: “Warner. On the 15th December, 1914, at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr Owen Callahan, Gawler, Ellen Warner, beloved wife of the late Christopher Warner, late of Rosewater, aged 80 years. RIP. The Advertiser, Friday 1 January 1915 p6 (7). Gawler Council’s information tells us that Owen Callahan aged 74 yrs whose last residence was at Gawler South was buried 26/11/1939 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 18 N 3, with Father O`Sullivan officiating (8). Harriet Elizabeth Callahan aged 81 yrs whose last residence was at Rosewater was buried 25/06/1948 Willaston Cemetery in the reopened Plot/Grave/Niche 18 N 3, with Father Sparkes officiating (9). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people did not show bith records of Owen Michael Callahan, but Harriet Warner was born on 28 Mar 1867 in Lake Wangarie SA to parents Christopher Warner and Ellen Grant (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/callahan_owen_&_harriet.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FsbGFoYW4=&g=T3dlbg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=V2FybmVy&g=SGFycmlldA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93187807?searchTerm=Callahan%20Warner&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/55756559?searchTerm=Owen%20Callahan&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FsbGFoYW4=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5437556?searchTerm=Harriet%20Warner%20Callahan&searchLimits= 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33493 9 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34001 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I411076 749 Bridget May Callier died aged 30 years on 28 Dec 1909; her husband Isidore HP Callier died aged 81 on 22 Nov 1966 (1). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has not recorded Isidore Callier’s middle initials HP that are seen on the headstone (2). The Isidore Callier Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that, in 1906, Isidore Hubert Philip Callier was married to Bridget May Condon in the Barossa District (3). Deaths: “Callier (nee Condon). On the 28th December 1909, at Gawler, BM (Diana), dearly loved wife of JHP Callier, and youngest loved daughter of the late P and Mrs Condon, Gawler East, aged 30 years, leaving a sorrowing husband and little daughter to mourn their great loss. RIP.” The Advertiser, Thursday 6 January 1910 p8 (4). The ‘all Condon’ Birth Index seeking a father named P Condon shows only one who had a child in c1879: [1] Margaret Condon b1876 to parents Patrick Condon and Bridget Grady in the Port Adelaide District; [2] Eliza Condon b1877 to parents Patrick Condon and Bridget Graddy in the Port Adelaide District; [3] Mary Condon b1879 to parents Patrick Condon and Bridget Gready in the Port Adelaide District (5), mother’s surname variation in spelling no doubt reflecting the Irish brogue of the parents. I think that Mary is probably Bridget May, especially as her mother’s name was also Bridget. Assuming that I’m correct and Bridget May’s father was Patrick Condon, a search on the LDS website revealed that Patrick Condon was born in 1843 in Mitchelstown, Cork, Ireland, his father was William Condon. Patrick Condon arrived in SA 1866 aboard the British Lion, he lived in Gawler, his occupations including labourer and boardinghouse keeper. He died 8 Oct 1901 Gawler and is buried in Willaston. He was married on 13 Feb 1868 in Gawler to Johanna Hogan born c1846 Mitchelstown, Cork, Ireland, and died in

Again on the LDS website, Bridget Mary Condon born 1879 was married on 27 Dec 1906 in Gawler to Isidor Huberte Phillip Callier who was born on 7 Jul 1874 nr Bethel SA (7). And again using LDS, Isidor Huberte Phillip Callier was born 7 Jul 1874 nr Bethel to parents Pierre Joseph Callier (b1830, Verviers, Liège, Belgium and died 18 Apr 1931 SA) and Anne Marguerite Josephe Bovy (b1837 nr Liege, Belgium and died 27 Oct 1919 nr Freeling SA), who were married on 18 Apr 1861 in Gawler (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/callier_bridget_may_&_isidore.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FsbGllcg==&g=SXNpZG9yZQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5218036?searchTerm=Condon%20Callier&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29uZG9u&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I191583&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I191579&tree=SouthAustralia 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I191574&tree=SouthAustralia George M (Scotty) Campbell died aged 50 years on 29 Oct 1958; late 122nd Company, AIF, husband of Elva, father of Ian and Margaret (1). The WW2 Nominal Roll reveals the Service Record of 5 George M Campbells involved with the Australian Military. The one involved with 122 General Transport Company was George Milligan Campbell, born 22 Sep 1907 in Glasgow, Scotland, who enlisted from Gawler SA in the Australian Army as a private 17 Oct 1942, with next of kin Elva Campbell. He was discharged still a private on 1 Nov 1945 (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/campbell_george_m_%28scotty%29.jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=689056 Raphael Campbell died aged 90 years on 29 July 1994; his wife Daphne Gerta Campbell died aged 74 years on 2 Aug 1979 (1). The Raphael Campbell Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Raphael Vincent Fitzsimmons Campbell was born to parents Michael Thomas Campbell and Bridget Veronica Fitzsimmons in the Hindmarsh District (2). GenealogySA nor Trove searches for their marriage details are fruitless, and without Daphne’s maiden name, I cannot find her date of birth. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Raphael Vincent Fitzsimmons Campbell was born on 25 Jul 1904 in Bowden SA to parents Michael Thomas Campbell and Bridget Veronica Fitzsimmons (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/campbell_daphne_gerta_&_raphael.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FtcGJlbGw=&g=UmFwaGFlbA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I259403 John Carey died aged 83 years on 2 Aug 1926; his wife Elizabeth Carey died aged 89 years on 25 June 1933 (1). On the LDS website, John Carey was born c1843 Somerset, England and was married to Elizabeth Gould born c1844 England. Their children were [1] Eliza Carey born 5 Aug 1866 McLaren Vale SA, and was married on 6 Feb 1892 in Gawler to Richard Aldersey Manning; [2] Jane Carey born 13 Sep 1869 Gawler, and was married 11 Nov 1891 in Adelaide to William Richard Harris; [3] Mary-Ann Carey born 23 May 1872 Gawler; [4] Adelaide Elizabeth Carey born 18 Jul 1874 Gawler; [5] Alice Julia Carey born 3 Jun 1876 Gawler, and was married 1 Jan 1902 Unley to Joseph Frederick Thomas Pike; [6] Edith Victoria Carey born 15 May 1878 Gawler, and was married 1 Dec 1896 Norwood to John James Rau; [7] Ernest Thomas Carey born 8 Jul 1880 Gawler, and was married 9 Apr 1901 Adelaide to Edith Charlotte Holzberger; [8] Ethel May Carey born 18 Mar 1883 Gawler, and was married 1 Aug 1910 Gawler to Henry James Parker; [9] Lily Matilda Carey born 20 Aug 1885 Gawler, and was married 24 Mar 1906 in Hyde Park SA to Edgar Wilfred Holmes (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carey_john_&_elizabeth.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F58292&tree=SouthAustralia James Carey died aged 25 years on 11 Nov 1899; his brother Thomas John Carey died aged 30 years on 25 Jan 1901; both were sons of J&M Carey; Jeremiah James Carey died aged 55 years on 9 June 1924 (1). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Jeremiah James Carey died in 1921, but the date on the headstone looks more like 1924 to me (2). The Jeremiah Carey Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Jeremiah James Carey died in 1924 in the Burra District, with the nominated relative his brother PJ Carey (3). Jeremiah James Carey – a sad story but date confirmed: “Death by Hanging. Terowie. Mr Jeremiah Carey, who was staying at Mr Wright's farm at Ulooloo, hanged himself in a shed on the property early on Monday morning (9th June). He was a single man 55 years of age and in good financial circumstances. He retired from farming some time ago, but owned a farm at Parrakee and some land at Wasleys, where he resided. His body was conveyed by train to be buried at Willaston. No motive for his action can be gleaned from those who knew him. He was of a cheerful temperament to the time of his death.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 14 June 1924 p45 (4). Thomas John Carey. “Killed by Lightning: A Sad Fatality. On Friday afternoon iast about 4 o'clock a sad fatality occurred between Roseworthy and Templers. Mr Thomas Carey, a farmer, of Templers, was returning home from Gawler with his team of six horses and a wagon. His brother, Mr Jeremiah Carey, an employee of Mr Thomas Flett, had also been to Gawler, and rode with him as far as Mr Flett's, where, after procurlng and lending him his overcoat, he left him. Jeremiah then changed his clothes, and went out with Mr Flett to attend to a drain. On looking up the road they saw that Mr Thomas Carey's wagon was at a standstill, and on reaching the spot they were shocked to find that horses and man were dead. The lightning was particularly fierce, and Mr Flett invited Thomas to take out his horses and remain there until the storm was over; but the deceased said that as he was wet through he would oontlnue his journey home. ....” Bunyip, Friday 1 February 1901 p2 (5). James Carey: “A Sad Death. At 8.40 am on Saturday, a farmer named Dicks reported to the police that a man was lying, apparently in a dying state near the water trough in the corner of Millican's paddock, on Alford road, about three quarters of a mile from Kadina (says the local Times). .... name was James Carey, and his friends, farmers at Templers, were at once communicated with through the Gawler police, and on Saturday night after ten, a wire was received from one of his friends asking to have the body sent on to Wasleys, .... poor fellow had evidently been suffering for some time, but being without means did not make his trouble known. The cause of death was heart disease, accelerated by influenza and exposure.” Bunyip, Friday 17 November 1899 p2 (6). James Carey, Jeremiah James Carey and Thomas John Carey do not appear on the birth data of RootsWeb. Mary Carey died aged in her 64th year (ie, she was 63 years old) on 31 Dec 1898, wife of Jeremiah Carey; their daughter Mary ?Carey? died aged 40 years on 11 Jan 1920 (7). It seems likely that Jeremiah and Mary [ie J&M] not only were parents of Mary ?Carey? born c1880, but also parents of Jeremiah James born c1969, Thomas John born c1871 and James born c1874. Deaths: “Carey. On the 31st December, 1898, at Roseworthy, Mary, relict of the late Jeremiah Carey, of drowning, in her 64th year. May her soul rest in peace.” The Advertiser, Friday 6 January 1899 p4 (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carey_james,_thomas_john_&_jeremiah_james.jpg

Her name is not Pyllis as appears on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). A search of Phyllis Carey in GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser has Phyllis Johanna Carey’s notice in 2005 (3). This birth notice: “Carey (nee Mclnerney). On Feb 4, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Phyllis, wife of JG Carey, of Templers, a son” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 17 February 1944 p10 (4). So we know her maiden name was Mclnerney, but there are no results for Phyllis Mclnerney on GenealogySA, and she does not appear in the Savill Index for Advertiser funeral notices (5). The only James G Carey on the Birth Index is James Gerald Carey b1911 to parents Patrick Joseph Carey and Agnes Winifred Farrell in the Barossa District (6), but the thread runs cold as his marriage doesn’t appear on the Marriage Index (7). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Phyllis Johanna Mclnerney was born on 6 Mar 1916 in Julia SA to parents Stephen Thomas Mclnerney and Eliza Elvin Richards (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carey_phyllis_j..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Q2FyZXk=&g=UGh5bGxpcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92711357?searchTerm=Phyllis%20Carey&searchLimits= 5 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FyZXk=&g=SmFtZXMgRw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FyZXk=&g=SmFtZXMgRw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I590938 755 Thelma Nellie Carruthers, wife of Jack, mother of Kay and Darryl, died aged 61 yrs on 16 Aug 1978 (1), making her calculated year of birth c1917. As Jack could be a diminutive for John or maybe his second name, I’ve opted for an ‘all Carruthers’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA seeking a marriage between a Jack and a Thelma Nellie, but no such marriage exists at GenealogySA, possibly it occurred later than the cut-off of data at genealogical sites. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carruthers_thelma_nellie.jpg 756 Elizabeth Carlson died aged 58 years on 8 Aug 1920, wife of OW Carlson; their daughter Ida Carlson died aged 18 years on 6 Oct 1917 (1). The ‘O Carlson’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Otto Willhelm Carlsson[sic] married in 1886 Elizabeth Harris Curnow in the Port Adelaide District (2). The Ida Carlson Birth Index shows that Ida Elizabeth Carlson was born in 1899 to parents Otto Wilhelm Carlson and Elizabeth Harris Curnow in the Port Adelaide District (3). The Ida Carlson Death Index shows that when Ida Elizabeth Carlson died in 1917 in the Barossa District, her nominated relative was her father Otto Wilhelm Carlson (4). “We regret to have to report the death of Miss Ida Carlson, youngest daughter of Mr Wm Carlson. Mr Carlson has lost two daughters within the last eighteen months. Miss Carlson had been in very ill-health since the death of her elder sister, and on Saturday, October 6, she passed away. We extend to Mr and Mrs Carlson, and family sincere sympathy in their sad bereavement.” Bunyip, Friday 12 October 1917 p4 (5). The Elizabeth Curnow Birth Index shows that Elizabeth Harris Curnow was born in 1862 to parents Thomas Curnow and Elizabeth Davies in the Port Gawler District (6). Elizabeth’s death: “Carlson. On the 8th August, at Willaston, Elizabeth Harris Carlson, the beloved wife of Otto Wilhelm Carlson, aged 58 years.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 11 August 1920 p6 (7). The ‘all Carlson’ Birth Index for parents Otto Willhelm [or Wilhelm, Willhelmn, William] Carlson and Elizabeth Harris [or Harriett, Harriet] Curnow [or Curnew] reveals that they had at least eight children [1] Rudolf Alfred Carlson b1886 in Adelaide; [2] Eliza Cecelia Carlson b1887 in the Port Adelaide District; [3] Hilda Gurtey Carlson b1889 in Adelaide; [4] Thomas Percival Carlson b1891 in the Port Adelaide District; [5] Paul Louis Roy Carlson b1893 in the Port Adelaide District; [6] Sam William Carlson b1896 in the Port Adelaide District; [7] Ida Elizabeth Carlson b1899 in the Port Adelaide District; [8] August Allen Austral Carlson b1901 in the Port Adelaide District (8). So Ida had two older sisters and presumably at least one of these had predeceased her. Eliza Cecelia Carlson: the Eliza Carlson Marriage Index shows that Eliza Cecilia Carlson was married in 1913 to John George Larsson in the Port Adelaide District (9). The Eliza Larsson Death Index shows that Eliza Cecilia Larsson, wife of the late John George Larsson, died in the Hindmarsh District in 1964 (10). So it wasn’t Eliza who died 18 months before Ida. Hilda Gurtey Carlson: The Hilda Carlson Marriage Index shows Hilda Gertrude Carlson was married in 1909 to Martin Vincent Symes (11). The Hilda Carlson Death Index reveals that Hilda Gertrude Carlson, wife of Martin Symes died in 1916 (12), making Hilda the elder sister who died before Ida. “Symes. On the 13th August at the Consumptive Home, North-terrace, Hilda Gertrude, beloved wife of Martin Symes, of Willaston, aged 27 years and 5 months. At rest.” The Advertiser, Monday 14 August 1916 p6 (13). So Hilda died of TB, and one wonders whether her younger sister Ida also had TB, and maybe even Elizabeth. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Elizabeth Harris Curnow was born on 6 Apr 1862 in Peachy Belt SA to parents Thomas Curnow and Elizabeth Davies (14), and Ida Elizabeth Carlson was born on 31 Mar 1899 in St Kilda, Adelaide to parents Otto Wilhelm Carlson and Elizabeth Harris Curnow (15). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carlson_elizabeth_&_ida.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FybHNvbg==&g=Tw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FybHNvbg==&g=SWRh&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q2FybHNvbg==&g=SWRh&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/100417871?searchTerm=Ida%20Carlson&searchLimits=l-title=371 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3Vybm93&g=RWxpemFiZXRo&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/37528216?searchTerm=Elizabeth%20Harris%20Carlson&searchLimits= 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FybHNvbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FybHNvbg==&g=RWxpemE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=TGFyc3Nvbg==&g=RWxpemE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 11 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FybHNvbg==&g=SGlsZGE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 12 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=U3ltZXM=&g=SGlsZGE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 13 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/6467741?searchTerm=Hilda%20Gertrude%20Symes&searchLimits= 14 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I247904

The John Carmichael Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in 1903 to Caroline Lillian Smith in the Daly District (2). According to the LDS website, John Carmichael was born 25 Apr 1871 nr Stockport SA to parents Laurence Carmichael (born 24 Mar 1833 Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland, died 7 Jul 1920 Yorketown SA) and Catherine Smith (born 27 Sep 1838 Galway, Ireland, died 15 Oct 1908 Minlacowie SA) who had married 13 Jun 1860 nr Stockport SA. John Carmichael was married 29 Sep 1903 Urania SA to Caroline Lillian Smith b1881 (3). A Google search for Carmichael Names and Dates in SA Tribal Pages revealed several relevant ones [1] John Carmichael, born 25 Apr 1871 in Stockport SA, died 25 Apr 1964 Prospect SA; [2] Thomas Carmichael, born 30 Jan 1875 in Stockport SA, died 2 Feb 1947 Gawler; [3] Wilson Forrester Carmichael, born 15 Dec 1916 in Minlaton SA, died 1986 SA (4).

(1). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery incorrectly names Stella Mabel Read Carmichael as Stella May Read Carmichael (2), which is not what it says on the headstone. According to the LDS website, Thomas Carmichael was born 30 Jan 1875 Stockport SA to the same parents as for John Carmichael [see Note 757]. Thomas Carmichael was married 7 Sep 1905 Yacka SA to Stella Mabel Read Forrester born 29 Jun 1883 Yacka (3). The ‘all Carmichael’ Birth Index for offspring of Thomas Carmichael and Stella Mabel Read Forrester reveals five children, all born in the Daly District [1] Stella Marion Carmichael b1906; [2] Rita Lilian Carmichael b1910; [3] Catherine Ruth Carmichael b1911; [4] Colin Thomas Carmichael b1915; [5] Wilson Forrester Carmichael b1916 (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Catherine Ruth Carmichael was born on 10 Apr 1911 in Minlaton SA to parents Thomas Carmichael and Stella Mabel Read Forrester (5), Colin Thomas Carmichael was born on 1 Sep 1915 in Minlaton to parents Thomas Carmichael and Stella Mabel Reed[sic] Forrester (6), and Stella Marion Carmichael was born on 26 Aug 1906 in Brentwood SA to parents Thomas Carmichael and Stella Mabel Reade[sic] Forrester (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carmichael_thomas_&_stella_mabel_read.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I190180&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FybWljaGFlbA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I464781 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I464795 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I260381 759 Colin Thomas Carmichael died aged 88 years on 25 June 2004; his wife Isabel Scott Carmichael died aged 84 years on 26 April 2000; parents of Janet and Ian (1). Searching Colin Thomas Carmichael on the WW2 Nominal Roll, we find his Service Record. Colin Thomas Carmichael was born 1 Sep 1915 at Minlaton SA. He was living in Wasleys when he enlisted in the Australian Army 17 Jan 1943 at Puckapunyal, Vic. His next of kin was Isobel[sic] Carmichael, he was eventually discharged still a private 29 Nov 1945 (2).This confirms his date of birth asd shown in Note 758. His marriage: “Carmichael—Inglis. The marriage of Isabel, daughter of Mrs and the late Mr EM Inglis, of Dulwich, to Colin, son of Mr and Mrs T Carmichael, solemnised Knightsbridge Baptist Church March 24 by Rev JA Lewis”, The Advertiser, Friday 2 April 1943 p8 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows Isabel Scott Inglis was born on 9 Jun 1915 in Keswick, Adelaide to parents Elliott Maxwell Inglis and Catherine Lashbrook Hay (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carmichael_isabel_scott_&_colin_thomas.jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=692952 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48907320?searchTerm=Colin%20Isabel%20Carmichael%20Gawler&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I549604 760 Wilson Forrester Carmichael died aged 69 years on 18 June 1986; his wife Linda Elvera Carmichael died aged 73 years on 6 Aug 1999, parents of Geoffrey, Julie and Lynette (1). The the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery spells her middle name Elvira, but it clearly says Elvera on the headstone (2). We know from Note 757 Wilson Forrester Carmichael’s date of birth (15 Dec 1916), but we need to know Linda Elvera’s maiden name to ascertain hers. There being no Wilson Carmichael Marriage Index at GenealogySA, we go to Trove to find “Price —Carmichael. The engagement is announced of Linda, elder daughter of Mr, Mrs Price, Gawler, to Wilson, younger son of Mrs Carmichael and late Mr Carmichael, Wasleys”, The Advertiser, Thursday 18 March 1948 p8 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Linda Elvera Price was born on 27 Feb 1926 in Gawler to parents John Alfred Price and ElveraAmy Carslake (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carmichael_wilson_forrester_&_linda_elvera.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43760193?searchTerm=Linda%20Carmichael&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I629952 761 Martin Carmody died aged 67 years on 8 Nov 1901; his wife Mary Carmody died aged 61 years on 30 Dec 1897 (1). The Martin Carmody Marriage Index shows he was married in 1858 to Mary Carroll in the Barossa District (2). The ‘all Carmody’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Martin Carmody and Mary Carroll shows there were maybe 11 children all with father Martin Carmody and mother Mary but I’ve included spelling variations of her maiden name in brackets [1] Elizabeth Carmody b1859 [Carl]; [2] Catherine Carmody b1861 [Carrol]; [3] Michael Carmody b1863 [Carrol]; [4] Peter Carmody b1865 [Carron]; [5] Mary Ann Carmody b1866 [Corrol]; [6] Martin Carmody b1868 [Carroll]; [7] John Carmody b1870 [Carrol]; [8] Agnes Carmody b1872 [Carroll]; [9] Edwin Carmody b1874 [Carrol]; [10] Patrick Carmody b1876 [Carrol]; [11] Augustus Carmody b1878 [Carroll] (3). “Gawler, Friday. Yet another death attributed to the excessive heat took place late last night or early this morning at Willaston. Mrs Martin Carmody sen, a lady sixty-one years of age, was found dead in bed by her husband at 8 o'clock this morning. In the early part of the night the deceased slept outside, but after wards retreated indoors. Her husband went inside during the night, and as his wife did not answer his enquiries he thought she was asleep. He received a great shook when he found that she was dead. She has left a large grown-up family. Dr Dawes gave the cause of death as heat apoplexy”,

South Australian Register, Saturday 1 January 1898 p10 (4). “The late Mr Martin Carmody. On Friday last Mr Martin Carmody, sen, an old identity of Willaston, passed over to the great majority. The late gentleman was born 67 years ago in Ireland and came to South Australia in 1854 in the ship Nabob. Very few years elapsed before he settled in this neighborhood and he continued to live here until his decease. He worked as a mason's laborer for many years and was employed by Mr David Thomson in the Eagle Foundry for a time. He was physically very robust and possessed a genial and contented disposition. Hence the ups and downs of life seemed to cause him less worry than many a man more happily circumstanced regarding this world's goods. Mrs Carmody died four years ago. There survive six sons (Messrs Michael Carmody of Willaston, Peter Carmody of Broken Hill, Martin Carmody of Willaston, Patrick Carmody now on a visit to Ireland, and Edward and Gustav Carmody of Willaston); and four daughters (Mrs F Symes of Willaston, Mrs G Drummond of Port Adelaide, Mrs M McGrath of Broken Hill, and Mrs Walter Brown of Willaston). The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon and was largely attended”, Bunyip, Friday 15 November 1901 p2 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carmody_martin_&_mary.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FybW9keQ==&g=TWFydGlu&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FybW9keQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/54517914?searchTerm=Martin%20Carmody&searchLimits=l-title=41 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/100580603?searchTerm=Martin%20Carmody&searchLimits=l-title=371 Alphonsus Carmody died aged 77 years on 9 Feb 1959; his wife Catherine Rose Carmody died aged 80 years on 5 Aug 1958; their daughter Mary Muriel ?Carmody died aged 79 years on 12 Nov 1983 (1). The Alphonsus Carmody Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Alphonsus Maria Carmody was born in 1881 to parents Patrick Joseph Carmody and Mary Elizabeth McKeown in the Burra District (2), and the Alphonsus Carmody Marriage Index shows that Alphonsus Maria Carmody was married in 1901 to Catherine Rose Spencer Hill in the Barossa District (3). The Catherine Spencer Hill Birth Index shows that Catherine Rose Spencer Hill was born in 1877 to parents John Thomas Spencer Hill and Catherine Quinlan in the Gilbert District (4). The ‘all Carmody’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Alphonsus Maria Carmody and Catherine Rose Spencer Hill shows three children [1] Raphael John Carmody b1901 (father Alphonsus William Carmody); [2] Mary Muriel Carmody b1904 (father Alphonsus Marie Carmody); [3] Laurence Carmody b1906 (father Alphonsus Carmody) (5). The Mary Carmody Marriage Index does not show a Mary Muriel Carmody marriage (6), but a search of Mary Carmody at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms a Memorial Inscription for Mary Muriel Carmody who died aged 79y in 1983 (7). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Alphonsus Maria Carmody was born on 2 Oct 1881 in Aberdeen (now Burra) SA to parents Patrick Joseph Carmody and Mary Elizabeth McKeown (8), Mary Muriel Carmody was born on 29 Jan 1904 in Willaston SA to parents Alphonsus Marie Carmody and Catherine Rose Spencer Hill (9), and Catherine Rose Spencer Hill was born on 16 Sep 1877 in Reeves Plains SA to parents John Thomas Spencer Hill and Catherine Quinlan (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carmody_catherine_rose,_alphonsus_&_mary_muriel.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FybW9keQ==&g=QWxwaG9uc3Vz&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FybW9keQ==&g=QWxwaG9uc3Vz&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=U3BlbmNlciBIaWxs&g=Q2F0aGVyaW5l&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FybW9keQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FybW9keQ==&g=TWFyeQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2FybW9keQ==&g=TWFyeQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I254525 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I260448 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I24700 Laurence Carmody was born 20 Aug 1906 and died 2 July 1972; Gladys Olive Carmody was born 19 April 1911 and died 28 Aug 1975 (1). The Laurence Carmody Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in 1937 to Gladys Olive Window in Adelaide (2). The Gladys Window Birth Index confirms that Gladys Olive Window was born in 1911, to parents Walter Joseph Window and Eliza Charlotte Henrietta Dawe in the Barossa District (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carmody_laurence_&_gladys_olive.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FybW9keQ==&g=TGF1cmVuY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=V2luZG93&g=R2xhZHlz&c=&y=&r=MA== Mary Jane Carne died aged 76 years on 27 March 1930; her husband William Henry Carne died aged 91 years on 12 July 1939 (1). According to the LDS data, William Henry Carne was born 18 Jun 1848 at Willunga SA to parents Henry Carne (born 10 Oct 1826 in Cornwall, England and died 8 May 1888 Kapunda) and Grace Johns (born 18 Nov 1821 Cornwall, England and died 17 Jan 1902 Fullarton SA), who had married in Cornwall 8 May 1841. William Henry Carne was an engine driver who’d lived in Willunga, Kapunda, Port Adelaide and Gawler. He died in 1939 and is buried in Willaston. He was married on 14 Nov 1874 in Kapunda to Mary Jane James born 2 Jun 1853 (her parents were William and Mary James), and she died 1930. William Henry and Mary Jane’s 7 children were all female [1] Alice Rodda Carne born 7 Oct 1875 Kapunda; [2] Florence May Campbell nee Carne born 12 May 1877 Kapunda, died 28 Mar 1963 SA; [3] Mary Jane Carne born 14 Apr 1879 Kapunda; [4] Eva Carne born 8 Dec 1882 Kapunda; [5] Minnie Carne b1883; [6] Clara Isabel Carne born 21 Apr 1885 Gawler, died 3 Jun 1885 Gawler; [7] Clarice Isabel Carne born 25 Oct 1888 Gawler (2). Some further history of three of the Carne children’s marriages can also be found on the LDS site: Florence May Carne born 12 May 1877 was married on 23 Dec 1901 in Gawler to Donald Campbell; Eva Carne born 8 Dec 1882 was married 11 Jan 1909 in Gawler to John Edgar Passmore; Minnie Carne b1883 was married 19 Jul 1916 at Crystal Brook to Hamley William Broadstock (3). Clarice Isabel Carne is discussed at Note 46 in relation to her marriage to Frank Lindley Barnet of the Bunyip 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carne_mary_jane_&_william_henry.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I190118&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F36505&tree=SouthAustralia George W Carr died aged 68 years on 16 May 1959; his wife Olive Myrtle Carr died aged 80 years on 28 Aug 1975 (1). The George Carr Marriage Index at GenealogySA reveals that George Weewanda Carr was married in 1920 to Olive Myrtle Watherston in the Flinders District (2), and the George Carr Birth Index shows that George Weewanda Carr was born in 1892 to parents Richard James Carr and Agnes Mary Brougham in the Flinders District (3). According to the data on the LDS website, Richard James Carr and Agnes Mary Brougham were married 17 Aug 1881 in Port Lincoln. Richard James Carr was born 7 May 1858 Whites River SA to parents Abraham Carr and Mary Adams, and died 20 Sep 1948 in Port Lincoln. Agnes Mary Brougham was born 14 May 1857 in Port Lincoln to parents Henry Brougham and Elizabeth Ann Bossward, and died 16 Jan 1944 Port Lincoln.

This headstone is not easy to read and I’ve had to rely on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery for some of the information (2). The Ernest Carr Marriage Index shows that Ernest Howard Carr was married in 1920 in the Barossa District to Ruby Olive Edith Hamilton (3). Ernest Howard Carr was born 4 Nov 1888 Port Lincoln [see Note 765]. The Ruby Hamilton Birth Index reveals that Ruby Olive Edith Hamilton was born in 1898 to parents John William Hamilton and Edith Richards in the Port Gawler District (4). John William Hamilton was born 3 Aug 1865 at Mount Crawford SA to parents George William Hamilton (born 10 Sep 1843 Pines Hill SA) and Sarah Ann Bath (b1845 Cambridgeshire, England and d1924 SA), who were married 19 Sep 1862 Mount Crawford. John William Hamilton was married 9 Dec 1897 in Adelaide to Edith Richards b1874, and their children were [1] Ruby Olive Edith Hamilton born 11 Sep 1898 Gawler South; [2] Irene Gladys Hamilton born 16 Nov 1900 Gawler South; [3] Hazel Melba Hamilton b 13 Oct 1904 Gawler South (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carr_ruby_&_ernest.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2Fycg==&g=RXJuZXN0&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=SGFtaWx0b24=&g=UnVieQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I138032&tree=SouthAustralia Edward Richard Carr died aged 71 years on 8 Sept 1976 (1); Doris Ethel Carr died aged 74 years on 3 July 1983 (2). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser has Edward Richard Carr’s on 1976-09-10 and one for Doris Ethel Carr on 1983-07-04 (3). On GenealogySA, there is no Edward Carr Marriage Index for Edward Richard Carr’s marriage to Doris Ethel Carr, but there is one for Edward Richard Carr marrying a Rita Agnes Ettwell Sexton in Adelaide in 1930 (2). Was his marriage to Doris Ethel his second one? (4). The Rita Carr Death Index shows she died in the Port Adelaide District in 1932, with the nominated relative her husband Edward Richard Carr (5). Death: “Carr. On the 1st December, Rita Agnes Ettwell (nee Sexton), dearly beloved wife of Edward Richard Carr. Peacefully sleeping.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 8 December 1932 p49 (6). Edward Richard Carr has a Service Record which is available on the WW2 Nominal Roll (7), where he was in the RAAF 26 May 1942 until 27 Nov 1945. He was born in Fremantle WA, which would explain the lack of birth details on GenealogySA, on 28 Mar 1905, but enlisted in Torrensville SA, with his next of kin being Doris Carr. The ‘all Carr’ Birth Index does not reveal any children born to either a Rita or Doris with Edward Carr (8), so it is difficult to ascertain Doris Carr’s maiden name, even on Trove searches. The Carr Family at Tribal Pages (9) only have links between the UK and NSW Carr names. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carr_edward_richard.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carr_doris_ethel.jpg 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2Fycg==&g=RWR3YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q2Fycg==&g=Uml0YQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90626823?searchTerm=Rita%20Carr%20Sexton&searchLimits=l-title=291 7 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=R&VeteranId=896738 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2Fycg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Edward Carslake died aged 80 years on 16 July 1939; his wife Emily Rose Carslake died aged 83 years on 15 June 1940 (1). The Edward Carslake Marriage Index shows he was married in 1877 to Emily Rose Broster in the Yatala District (2). The Edward Carslake Birth Index his year of birth as 1852, his parents being John Carslake and Maria Rundle of Adelaide (3). The Emily Broster Birth Index shows that Emily Rose Broster was born in 1856 to parents George Broster and Elizabeth Chivell in the Port Gawler District (4). According to the LDS data, Edward Carslake was born 18 Oct 1852 in Adelaide to parents John Henry Carslake (b1814, died 16 Jan 1895 nr Mallala) and Maria Phillips Rundle (b1821, died 5 Aug 1883 Dublin SA). Edward Carslake had resided in Dublin, Long Plains and Gawler Blocks. He was married in 1877 to Emily Rose Broster born 12 Sep 1856 Peachy Belt, d1940 SA. Their children were [1] Florence Emily Wordon nee Carslake born 10 Jun 1878 Dublin; [2] Bessy Ethel Moyle nee Carslake born 10 Jul 1880 Dublin; [3] Alice Matilda Maud Moyle nee Carslake born 25 Jul 1882 Dublin; [4] Alfred Edward Carslake born 28 Mar 1887 Windsor; [5] Arthur George Carslake (twin) born 1 Jan 1889 Windsor; [6] John Henry Carslake (twin) born 1 Jan 1889 Windsor, died 8 Jan 1889 Windsor; [7] Edwin Rundle Carslake born 18 Jul 1890, Shannon SA; [8] Allen Leslie Charles Carslake born 1 Jul 1893 Dublin; [9] Elvera Amy Price nee Carslake born 24 Jun 1897 Dublin (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carslake_edward_&_emily_rose.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2Fyc2xha2U=&g=RWR3YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2Fyc2xha2U=&g=RWR3YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJvc3Rlcg==&g=RW1pbHk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I13499&tree=SouthAustralia Cathleen Carter died aged 38 years on 31 July 1910, daughter of James and Mary Daly. She shares her headstone with 6 Daly family members plus one named Clancy (1). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says she was 88 years old but if she was a daughter of the James and Mary Daly buried here, she cannot be that age, and it really looks like 38 years old to me. The ‘all Carter’ search of South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Catherine Carter on the Burial Register with the Memorial Inscription saying Catherine Carter died aged 38y in 1910 (2). “Marriage: Carter—Daly. On the 9th April, at All Saints RC Church, Broken Hill, by the Rev Father Hughes, Katie, youngest daughter of James Daly, of Kangaroo Flat, to Herbert Carter, of Stoke, Newington, London, England”, The Advertiser, Friday 21 April 1899 p4 (3). If she was born c1822 [if she died aged 88 in 1910], this would mean she was 77 years old when she marries. On the Catherine Daly Birth Index, there is a Catherine Daly b1872 to James Daly and Ellen Rowe in the Gilbert district (4). Despite what it says on the headstone [and that includes the spelling of her name] I wonder if James Daly is by now married to Mary, but in previous days, his wife was an Ellen? This would explain why the Marriage Notice only mentions James as
770

parent. This of course is speculation, but it is clear that Cathleen / Catherine / Katie was not 88 years old when she died in 1910. The evidence including the headstone points to her name being Catherine and she was 38 years old when she died. The Gawler Council Burial Register makes matters worse by saying that Catherine Carter aged 40 years who last resided in Prospect was buried 2/08/1910 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 29 C 3, with Father O'Neill officiating (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there was indeed a Catherine Daly who was born on 28 Dec 1872 in Stockport SA to parents James Daly and Ellen Rowe (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carter_cathleen.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2FydGVy&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29498666?searchTerm=Carter%20Daly&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RGFseQ==&g=Q2F0aGVyaW5l&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31839 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I548596 Arthur Vincent Carter died aged 66 years on 14 Nov 1955; his wife Ida Carter died aged 88 years 16 Nov 1979; parents of Dudley (deceased), Gwen, Howard, Arthur and Gordon (1). The Arthur Carter Marriage Index at GenealogySA reveals that Arthur Vincent Carter was married in 1914 to Ida Tregonning in the Norwood District (2). The Ida Tregonning Birth Index shows her birth in 1891 to parents Walter Tregonning and Mary Ann Toy in the Norwood District (3). The ‘all Carter’ Birth Index seeking children of Arthur Vincent Carter and Ida Tregonning yields only three births [1] Dudley Vincent Carter b1914; [2] Gwenyth Blanche Carter b1916; [3] Howard Douglas Carter b1918 (4). I’m unable to find the other two siblings named on the headstone by searching parents’ names, maybe they were adopted, born interstate or just not officially registered. Dudley Vincent Carter: “Boy Scout Killed. Knocked from cycle on way to camp. Dudley Vincent Carter (18), son of Mr and Mrs Arthur Vincent Carter, of Jacob street, Gawler, died at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, yesterday afternoon from Injuries received when the cycle he was riding came into collision with a motor car at the corner of Williamstown and Lyndoch roads, Sandy Creek, about 2.30 pm on Saturday. With another scout, George Weaver, of Gawler, Dudley Carter was cycling to Tweedvale on a camping trip when the accident occurred. A motor lorry was travelling in front of the pair in the same direction. A car being driven by Mr W Hooper, of Angaston, towards Gawler came into collision with Carter's cycle, carrying it for some distance. Dr Kaines, of Gawler, removed the injured youth to the Hutchinson Hospital. Mounted Constable Phillips is preparing a report for the Coroner (JHL Rose).” The Advertiser, Monday 13 March 1933 p8 (5).

A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Arthur Vincent Carter was born on 27 Nov 1889 in Kenton Valley (now Gumeracha) SA to parents Fred Carter {born c1864} and Rosetta Thomas {born 16 Jan 1865 Kooringa, Burra SA}. The marriage between Arthur Vincent Carter (aged 24 yrs, born c1890, single, father was Fred Carter), and Ida Tregonning (aged 22 yrs, born 20 Sep 1891, single, father was Walter Tregonning), in Seventh Day Adventist Church, Kensington on the 8 April 1914 (7), Dudley Vincent Carter was born on 14 Dec 1914 in North Unley SA to parents Arthur Vincent Carter and Ida Tregonning (8), and Ida Tregonning was born on 20 Sep 1891 Norwood, Adelaide to parents Walter Tregonning {born c1864} and Mary Ann Toy {born c1867} (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/carter_arthur_vincent_&_ida.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FydGVy&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=VHJlZ29ubmluZw==&g=SWRh&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FydGVy&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/41473141?searchTerm=Dudley%20Vincent%20Carter&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88846379?searchTerm=Dudley%20Vincent%20Carter&searchLimits= 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I299025 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I465749 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I162306 Kenneth John Charnstrom died aged 66 yrs on 21 Sept 1972; his wife Lily May Charnstrom died aged 89 yrs on 1 April 1999, parents of Robert and Glenda (1). There is no Kenneth Charnstrom Marriage Index at GenealogySA and the ‘all Charnstrom’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Kenneth John Charnstrom and Lily May __ only shows that Kenneth John Charnstrom was born in 1905 to parents Israel Charnstrom and Bertha Roneberg in the Gilbert District (2). Seems we’ll need to go to the newspapers on Trove to find Lily May’s maiden name: “Charnstrom—Nottle. The wedding was celebrated at the Gawler West Methodist Church of Lily May, only daughter of Mr and Mrs AE Nottle, of Gawler, and Kenneth John, only son of Mr and Mrs Charmstrom, of Wasleys.

The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has put an “e” at the end of their surname Clark (2), but the headstone clearly shows no final “e”. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clarke_joan_&_john.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm William Pascoe Gartrell died aged 65 yrs on 14 Oct 1910 (1). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has the surname as Cartrell, but it looks much more likely to be Gartrell (2). The ‘all Cartrell’ search at GenealogySA yields no mention of any Cartrell on the database. However, the ‘all Gartrell’ searches at GenealogySA show many hits, including a William P Gartrell Marriage Index telling us that William Pascoe Gartrell was married in the Barossa District in 1872 to Martha Finch (3), and the William P Gartrell Death Index shows that William Pascoe Gartrell died in the District in 1910 (3), the same year as on the headstone. There are other Gartrells buried at Willaston, and this record should be re-located to join them under “G”. On the LDS website, William Pascoe Gartrell was born 24 Sep 1845 Goldsitney, Cornwall, England and died 14 Oct 1910 Gawler West SA, having lived at Kadina, Maitland and Gawler. [Note his date of death is the same as that for the William P Gartrell headstone]. William Pascoe Gartrell’s parents were Francis Gartrell (born c1820, died 14 Apr 1855 SA) and Elizabeth Pascoe (born c1820, d1855). William Pascoe Gartrell aged 27 yrs was married on 16 Oct

Martha was born in London in 1843, and died on 5 Nov 1919 SA, and like her husband is buried at Willaston, although her name isn’t on the“G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery. Martha’s parents were John Finch and Eliza Cutler who had arrived in SA on 26 Nov 1849 from England aboard the Robert Henderson.

The Savill Index of Funeral Notices in the Advertiser newspaper shows that on the day after Arthur T Cartwright died, a funeral notice for Arthur Thomas Cartwright appeared [1982-08-16] (2). On the GenealogySA Website, the only mention of Arthur Thomas Cartwright is in the Newspaper Death Notices category, in which it confirms not only his death and funeral notices in 1982, but also an “In Memoriam” notice each year up to 1986 (3). There is no records of an Arthur Thomas Cartwright amongst the SA birth records on the website RootsWeb. I cannot find a mention of Arthur Cartwright associated with a Connie or Constance on Trove [including the Bunyip], Arthur T Cartwright hasn’t a WW2 record, and it’s too recent for LDS data, but at least we know his name and his calculated year of birth as c1917. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cartwright_arthur_t.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Q2FydHdyaWdodA==&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== Michael Carty died aged 82 years on 10 March 1884 (1). On the LDS website, Michael Carty was born c1802 Tipperary, Ireland and died 9 Mar 1884 Gawler SA. He arrived in SA with his wife Mary Tierney on 25 March 1850 from England aboard the Sea Queen. He was a labourer and had lived at Sheoak Log, Kapunda, Adelaide, and Gawler. It is noted that some church records spell his name as Carthy. Mary Tierney was born c1807 Ireland, and died 15 Jun 1893 Undalya SA.

The Service Record of William Henry Causby is found on the WW2 Nominal Roll. He was born on 28 Sep 1920 in Gawler, and enlisted in the Australian Army on 6 Sep 1941, giving as next of kin William Causby. Private William Henry Causby fought in the 2/43 Australian Infantry and died 5 Nov 1942 and is listed on the Gawler Roll of Honour (2). The William Causby Birth Index shows that William Henry Causby was born in 1920 to parents William Thomas Causby and Edith Florence Rutland in the Barossa District (3). GenealogySA has erred in Edith Florence Causby’s maiden name. It is not Rutland, but Pentlan: “Causby. In fond remembrance of our dear sister, Edith Causby, who passed away on December 7, 1924. In our hearts you are fondly remembered, But to-day it is sad to recall You were so suddenly taken, We could not believe it at all. Inserted by her loving brother and sister in law, J and K Pentland.

William Thomas Causby was married 25 Feb 1905 in Adelaide to Edith Florence Pentland b1885 (5).

The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has reversed the ages and dates for William and Mary as they appear on the headstone. He died aged 66 in 1920 and she died aged 78 in 1934 (2). On the LDS website, William Causby was born in 1854 in Gawler, and died 28 Jun 1920 [the headstone correctly says 22nd June – see below]. His parents were Thomas Causby (born 18 Jun 1826 Nether Winchendon, Buckinghamshire, England and died 9 Dec 1883 Gawler) and Martha Warner (b1827 England, died 16 Sep 1869 Gawler). William Causby was married on 30 Jul 1875 in North Adelaide to Mary Bentley b1855, died 29 Apr 1934. Their children were [1] Florence Mary Masters nee Causby born 21 Jun 1876 Gawler; [2] Albert Bentley Causby born 27 Sep 1878 Gawler, died 1951; [3] Ada Helen Tuckey nee Causby born 27 Jan 1881 Gawler, died 1930; [4] William Thomas Causby born 20 Sep 1882 Gawler, died 1965; [5] Daisy May Greening nee Causby born 18 Sep 1884 Gawler; [6] Ellen Agnes Smith nee Causby born 13 Jan 1892 Gawler (3). William died on the 22nd June: Deaths: “Causby. On the 22nd June, at Union street, Gawler South, William, the beloved husband of Mary Causby, aged 67 years.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 23 June 1920 p6 (4). Mary Causby’s demise: “Deaths: Causby. On the 29th April, at the residence of her son-inlaw, Mr NCJ Greening, № 8 Second street, Gawler South, Mary, relict of William Thomas Causby, aged 78 years”, The Advertiser, Monday 30 April 1934 p8 (5), at least telling us that William had the middle name of Thomas, no mention of Mary having a middle name. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that a Mary Jane Bentley was born on 12 Dec 1856 in Kooringa, Burra SA to parents Henry Robert Bentley {born Abt 1836} and Mary Jane Whitford {born Abt 1836} (6). But there’s no evidence that it is the Mary Bentley we seek 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/causby_william_&_mary.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm

On the LDS site, Joseph John Causby was born 31 May 1856 Gawler, and died 28 May 1931 Gawler [he was thus almost 75 years old]. His parents were George Causby (born 16 Jul 1824 Nether Winchendon, Buckinghamshire, England, died 9 Mar 1875 Gawler) and Ann Allen (b1826 Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, died 6 Mar 1909 Gawler), who had married 5 Oct 1845 in Waddesdon. Joseph John Causby was a butcher, and a railway employee who had lived in Gawler and Burra. He was married 12 Jul 1899 at Mount Bryan SA to Sarah Alice Tralaggan b1873, died 31 Aug 1973 Brighton SA. Sarah Alice’s parents were Henry Tralaggan and Mary Montgomery. Joseph John Causby and Sarah Alice had one son, Henry Joseph b1900, d1967 (2). The ‘all Causby’ Birth Index seeking children of Joseph John Causby and Sarah Alice Tralaggan confirms they had one child, Henry Joseph Causby b1900 in the Burra District (3). “Marriages: Causby-Tralaggan. On the 12th July, at the residence of the bride's parents, by the Rev WO North, Joseph John, son of the late George Causby, Gawler, to Sarah Alice, daughter of Mr Henry Tralaggan, Mount Bryan.” The Advertiser, Saturday 22 July 1899 p6 (4). The Sarah Tralaggan Birth Index shows Sarah Alice Tralaggan was b1873 to parents Henry Tralaggan and Mary Montgomery in the Burra District (5), so if she was born early in 1873, she would indeed have been 100 years old when she died, if born In or later than Sept 1873, she would have been in her 100th year. Trove newspapers don’t cover deaths this recent and the Trove 1873 search didn’t find any notices regarding her birth. However a search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people yields Sarah Alice Tralaggan was born on 20 Jun 1873 in Mount Bryan SA to parents Henry Tralaggan and Mary Montgomery (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/causby_joseph_john_&_sarah_alice.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I223571&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2F1c2J5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29508549?searchTerm=Sarah%20Alice%20Tralaggan&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=VHJhbGFnZ2Fu&g=U2FyYWg=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I245439 779 Herbert Edward Causby died aged 47 years on 12 March 1917; his wife Mary Lucy Causby died aged 89 years on 14 Jan 1957 (1). The Herbert Causby Birth Index at GEnealogySA shows that Herbert Edward Causby was born in 1869 to parents George Causby and Ann Allen in the Port Gawler District (2), and the Herbert Causby Marriage Index shows that Herbert Edward Causby was married in 1893 to Mary Lucy Sampson in the Port Gawler District (3). According to the LDS website, George Causby was born on 16 Jul 1824 at Nether Winchendon, Buckinghamshire, England [his parents were Joseph and Elizabet Causby] and died 9 Mar 1875 in Gawler. George Causby arrived in 1847 on the Belle Alliance, worked as a labourer, tanner, publican, butcher, and farmer and had lived at Gawler, Melrose and Mt Remarkable. He was married 5 Oct 1845 Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, England to Ann Allen b1826, Waddesdon [her parents were Thomas and Marcy Allen], and she died 6 Mar 1909 Gawler. George Causby and Ann Allen’s children were [1] Causby [twin 1] b1846 Buckinghamshire, England, d1846 Buckinghamshire; [2] Causby [twin 2] b1846 Buckinghamshire, d1846 Buckinghamshire; [3] Sarah Ann Sanderson nee Causby b1847 Buckinghamshire, d1889 SA; [4] Elizabeth Mary Causby b1849 Buckinghamshire, d1869; [5] William Thomas Causby b1850 Buckinghamshire, died 11 Oct 1873 Gawler; [6] Henry Allen Causby born 15 May 1852 Gawler, died 23 Jun 1886 Launceston Tas; [7] George Charles Causby b1855, d1855; [8] Frederick George Causby [twin] born 31 May 1856 Gawler, died 5 Mar 1857 Gawler; [9] Joseph John Causby [twin] born 31 May 1856 Gawler, died 28 May 1931 Gawler; [10] Matilda Jane Causby born 25 Jun 1858 Gawler, d1858; [11] Emma Margaret Ayling nee Causby [twin] born 21 Feb 1860 Gawler, d1919; [12] James Barber Causby [twin] born 21 Feb 1860 Gawler, died 25 Mar 1860 Gawler; [13] Charlotte Jane Nine nee Causby born 30 Jul 1861 Melrose SA, d1932; [14] Frederick Alexander Causby born 26 May 1863 Mount Remarkable SA, d1864; [15] George Alexander Causby born 1 Aug 1865 Gawler, died 22 Jul 1867 Gawler; [16] Herbert Edward Causby born 31 May 1869 Gawler, d1917 (4). Still on the LDS website, Herbert Edward Causby (born 31 May 1869 in Gawler) was married on 30 Mar 1893 in Gawler to Mary Lucy Sampson (born 1867). Their children included [1] Clarence Herbert Allen Causby born 21 Dec 1893 Gawler; [2] Amy Dorothy Causby [twin] born 7 Dec 1895 Gawler, died 27 Dec 1895 Gawler; [3] Emma Causby [twin] born 7 Dec 1895 Gawler, died 25 Dec 1895 Gawler; [4] Ellen Langsford McKenzie nee Causby born 18 Jun 1899 Gawler; [5] Hugh Morland Causby born 23 Nov 1901 Gawler (5). Charles George Causby died aged 4 months and 9 days [ie, about 18 weeks] on 12 May 1855 (6), so he must have been born in Jan 1855 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/causby_herbert_edward_&_mary_lucy.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2F1c2J5&g=SGVyYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2F1c2J5&g=SGVyYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I223567&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I223577&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/cd/causby_charles_george,_frederick_george_&_matilda_jane.jpg 780 Leonard Causby died aged 61 years on 14 Aug 1954, his wife Alice (Allie) Causby died aged 86 years on 19 Dec 1975; parents of Ronda (1). The Leonard Causby Marriage Index shows Leonard Henry Causby was married in 1916 to Alice Lucas Garrett in Adelaide (2). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he was 51 years when he died (3), but it actually says 61, not 51, on the headstone. This is confirmed by a search of Leonard Causby at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery where the Memorial Inscription says that Leonard Causby died aged 61y in 1954 (4). According to the LDS website, Leonard Henry Causby was born on 7 Aug 1893 in Gawler to parents John Henry Causby [born 1 Jun 1858 in Gawler) and Ellen Mary Ward (b1856, died 5 Jul 1904 Gawler), who had married 18 Aug 1881 Gawler. Leonard Henry Causby was married 20 Dec 1916 at Parkside SA to Alice Lucas Garrett born 19 Oct 1891 in Port Lincoln SA (5). So Alice was 84, not 86, years old when she died, but that’s not important other than for information if someone does the maths, as we won’t be changing the headstone; besides which, LDS may be wrong anyway. The ‘all Causby’ Birth Index confirms the only child of Leonard Henry Causby and Alice Lucas Garrett was Ronda Ellen Causby b1920 in the Daly District (6), as the headstone says. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/causby_leonard_&_alice.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2F1c2J5&g=TGVvbmFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2F1c2J5&g=TGVvbmFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I147744&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2F1c2J5&g=&c=&y=&r=MA==
781 George Alexander Causby aged 70 years died 6 Dec 1984; his wife Gladys May Causby died aged 61 years on 11 June 1972; parents of Natalie and Barry but Barry Causby died aged 9 days on 26 Nov 1943 (1). Deaths: “Causby (nee Baynes). On Nov 17, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to George and Gladys, a son (Barry). Lived only nine days. Thanking Dr Covernton and hospital staff for their kindness.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 2 December 1943 p10 (2). On the George Causby Marriage Index, George Alexander Causby was married to Gladys May Baynes in Adelaide in 1937 (3). The George Causby Birth Index shows that George Alexander Causby was born in 1914 to parents John Joseph Causby and Loveday Williams in the Barossa District (4), who are discussed in Note 114. The Gladys Baynes Birth Index shows that Gladys May Baynes was born in 1911 to parents Paul Baynes and Ida Eda James in the Clare District (5). Birth: “Causby (nee Baynes). At the Hut chinson Hospital, Gawler, on August 20, to Gladys and George, a daughter (Natalie Faye). Thanking Doctors Covernton and Cherry, matron and hospital staff for their kind attendance.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 29 August 1946 p16 (6). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that George Alexander Causby was born 18 Jun 1914 in Willaston (7), and Gladys May Baynes was born 1 May 1911 in Baldina SA (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/causby_barry,_gladys_may_&_george_alexander.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92709285?searchTerm=Barry%20Causby%20George&searchLimits= 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2F1c2J5&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2F1c2J5&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmF5bmVz&g=R2xhZHlz&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93127826?searchTerm=George%20Causby%20Gladys%20Baynes&searchLimits= 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=105344 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=40782 782 Thomas Causby died aged 76 years on 6 Sept 1962; his wife Stella Causby died aged 78 years on 13 Dec 1968; parents of Joan and Claude (1). Thomas Causby’s father died in 1912: Deaths: “Causby. In loving memory of dear father, Thomas George Causby, who died March 27, 1912, ....., Inserted by his loving son and daughter-in-law, Tom and Stella.” Bunyip, Friday 24 March 1922 p2 (2). See Note 114, which shows the children of Thomas George Causby. This list seems to indicate that Thomas was really George Thomas Causby, and this is proven by the George Causby Marriage Index which shows that George Thomas Causby was married in 1913 to Clara Ada Bertha Stella Turner in the Barossa District (3). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that George Thomas Causby was born 8 Aug 1886 in Willaston SA to parents Thomas George Causby and Bessie Gane Selway. George Thomas Causby aged 27 years was married to Clara Ada Bertha Stella Turner aged 23, at the St George Church, Gawler on the 13/8/1913 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/causby_thomas_&_stella.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97751972?searchTerm=Stella%20Thomas%20Causby&searchLimits= 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2F1c2J5&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I38774 783 Ronald James Cavanagh was born 14 Oct 1910 and died 11 Dec 1944; his wife Zilda Eunice Cavanagh was born 19 Aug 1915 and died 17 Aug 2005; mother of Paul (deceased), Perter and Suzanne (1). As Ronald died young in 1944, the first step is to review the WW2 Nominal Roll. This reveals the Service Record of Ronald James Cavanagh who was born 14 Nov 1910 in Hobart Tas. He was living in Horsham Vic when he enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force on 9 Mar 1942 in Melbourne, giving his next of kin as Zilda Cavanagh. Leading Aircraftman Ronald James Cavanagh was stationed at 1 Aircraft Depot, Laverton when he died on 11 Dec 1944 (2). “Three Missing in Air Crash: Melbourne, Tuesday. The three men who are missing, believed dead, after an RAAF Mitchell bomber crashed into the sea near Anglesea yesterday morning while on a test flight are Flt Lieut Robert Alfred Wines of Rose Bay, Sydney, captain; Squadron Leader Frederick Reginald McGrlll of Concord, Sydney, second pilot; and LAC Ronald James Cavanagh of Hobart, Tasmania, armourer.” The Sydney Morning Herald, Wednesday 13 December 1944 p4 (3). Cavanagh-Tudor: The marriage of Zilda, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs Cyril Tudor, of Camberwell (Vic), formerly of Hobart, and Ronald, elder son of Mr and Mrs Edward Cavanagh, of Hobart, was celebrated at St Mark's Church of England, Burke Rd, Camberwell, recently, by the Rev JA Schofield. ..... Miss R Tudor, sister of the bride, the sole attendant, ..... The best man was Mr Loyal Cavanagh, of Hobart..... The Mercury (Hobart), Wednesday 18 January 1939 Page 10S (4). I’m not sure that either are buried here. Ronald went missing into the ocean, and there’s only mention of Zilda on a Memorial Inscription at Willaston Cemetery (5), and no mention of the Savill Index for Advertiser (Adelaide) Funeral Notices (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cavanagh_zilda_eunice_&_ronald_james.jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=R&veteranId=899465 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17931501?searchTerm=Ronald%20James%20Cavanagh&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/25581240?searchTerm=Ronald%20Cavanagh%20Zilda&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2F2YW5hZ2g=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 784 Elizabeth Coleman Challen died aged 37 years on 12 July 1893; her husband Phillip JAM Challen died aged 91 years on 27 May 1941 (1). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Elizabeth Coleman Challen’s death in 1899 (2), but looks [under magnification] more like 1893 to me. The ‘all Challen’ search at Genealogy’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows Memorial Inscriptions for Elizabeth Coleman Challen who died aged 37 years in 1893; and Phillip JAM Challen’s death aged 91 years in 1941 (3). The Phillip Challen Death Index shows that Phillip James Alexander Macedon Challen died in Gawler in 1941 (4). The ‘all Challen’ Birth Index shows children of Phillip Challen and Elizabeth Brown. Phillip/ Philip Challen/ Challon and Elizabeth/ Elizebeth/ Lizzie Brown had at least seven children, all born in the Port Gawler District [1] Loletta Challon[sic] b1876; [2] Leonard Mortlake Challen b1878; [3] Iva Audrey Challen b1879; [4] Wilfred Oswald Keath Challen b1882; [5] Phillip Henry Leslie Challen b1884; [6] Lola May Challen b1890; [7] April Summers Challen b1892 (5). The Phillip Challen Birth Index shows that Phillip James Challen was born in 1850 to parents Henry Challen and Ellen Leshley in Adelaide (6). A Phillip Challen search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Phillip James Challen was born on 29 Apr 1850 in Adelaide (7). I had no such luck with finding out more about Elizabeth nee Brown, there are just too many, and the middle name of Coleman didn’t help. The Phillip Challen Marriage Index confirms his marriage to Elizabeth Brown in the Barossa District in 1875 (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/challen_elizabeth_coleman_&_phillip_j.a.m..jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2hhbGxlbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q2hhbGxlbg==&g=UGhpbGxpcA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hhbGxlbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hhbGxlbg==&g=UGhpbGlw&c=&y=&r=MA==

The William Chamberlain Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in 1913 to Clara Daisy Roper in the Encounter Bay District (2). According to the data on the LDS website, William Chamberlain was born on 26 May 1888 at Kersbrook SA to parents William James Chamberlain (born 22 Dec 1855 Happy Valley SA, died 13 Jun 1940 SA) and Betsy Giddings (born 31 Aug 1855 SA), who were married on 26 Mar 1878 Tungkillo SA. William Chamberlain was married on 21 Oct 1913 at Victor Harbor SA to Clara Daisy Roper who was born 25 Apr 1885 Delamere SA (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chamberlain_william_&_clara_daisy.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2hhbWJlcmxhaW4=&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I80872&tree=SouthAustralia Sybil Chambers (1907-1963); John Harrold Chambers (1905-1970) (1). The John Chambers Marriage Index shows that John Harrold Chambers was married in 1931 to Sybil Korner in Adelaide (2). The John Chambers Birth Index shows that John Harrold Chambers was born in 1905 to parents Michael Aloysious Chambers and Ann Moss in the Nairne District (3). The Sybil Korner Birth Index shows she was born in 1907 to parents Henry Korner and Catherine Margaretta Miles in the Grey District (4). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows John Harrold Chambers was born on 9 Jun 1905 in Murray Bridge SA (5), and Sybil Korner was born 12 Jan 1907 in Mount Gambier SA (6). On the Gawler Now and Then website, John Harrold Chambers “was born on the 9th of June 1905 at Murray Bridge to parents Michael Aloysious Chambers and Ann Moss. .... John married Sybil Korner in 1931 in South Australia and they had two children, Joan and John Robert. Sadly in 1963, Sybil died in a car accident on the intersection of the Gawler Bypass and the Roseworthy College Road. John survived the accident with some injuries to his hands. John retired on the 8th of June 1970 and went on a 5 month tour of Europe. He left in August that year and planned to return to Gawler for Christmas but sadly while in Scotland, he suffered a stroke and died on the 30th of October 1970. Arrangements were made to bring him back to Gawler where he was buried with his wife at the Willaston Cemetery. .... (7). On the Town of Gawler’s website, Sybil Chambers aged 56 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 21/12/1963 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 9 LL 2, with Rev P Patterson officiating (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chambers_sybil_&_john_harrold.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2hhbWJlcnM=&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hhbWJlcnM=&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=S29ybmVy&g=U3liaWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I345784 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I610155 7 http://www.gawler.nowandthen.net.au/index.php?title=Chambers_John_Harrold 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34433 Ernest Edward Chandler was born 22 Jan 1930 and died 1-? December 1998 (1). In a magnified version of the photo, I’m fairly sure that the date is 18 or 19 Dec 1998. Unfortunately because it’s a relatively recent event, my usual sources won’t allow me to pinpoint the actual date. However the Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser has Ernest Edward (Joe) Chandler’s Notice appear on 1998-12-19 (2), so I’ll settle that he died on the 18th. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chandler_ernest_edward.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html John Chapman died aged 71 on 18 Jan 1890 (1), so he would have been born c1819. “Suicide Near Gawler. [By Telegraph.] Gawler, January 19. John Chapman, 71 years of age, committed suicide by cutting his throat yesterday. He was living with his son on the Hon JH Angas's Waterside estate. Mr LS Burton held an inquest, and a verdict of suicide while in a state of temporary insanity was returned. The deceased was partially paralysed, and had often expressed a desire to die”, The Advertiser, Monday 20 January 1890 p5 (2). “Coroner's Inquest. A Distressing Condition. Mr LS Burton JP, held an enquiry at the Hon JH Angas's Watervale Estate on Saturday evening as to the death of John Chapman, who had been found with his throat cut that morning. The evidence showed that the deceased— who was 71 years of age, and was residing with his son, who is an employee on the estate — was partially paralysed, and subject to violent outbursts of temper. He had also been treated for epilepsy a short time before, when the doctor expressed the opinion that he might commit an act of violence on himself or drop dead at any moment. His condition seemed to trouble him greatly, and he often expressed a wish to die. Dr R St Mark Dawes deposed to the nature of the injuries, and said they were undoubtedly self-inflicted. Frederick Chapman, son of deceased, deposed to seeing his father at 8 o'clock that morning, when there seemed to be nothing peculiar about him, and being called by his daughter at 10.30, when he found his father dead with his throat cut. He often wished he was dead, and prayed that God would take him. Had heard him say he would take his life. Had asked him (witness) to take his life. He complained about the weather, and about being uncomfortable, and thought he was not well treated. Lillian Chapman, granddaughter of deceased, deposed to going to his room at 10.30 and finding him dead. The Jury returned the following verdict — "That the deceased destroyed himself whilst in a state of temporary insanity”, South Australian Register, Tuesday 21 January 1890 p7 (3). So we know John Chapman had a son called Frederick Chapman, who had a daughter named Lillian, although I cannot find her on GenealogySA either. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chapman_john.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/24492101?searchTerm=John%20Chapman&searchLimits=l-decade=189 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47076689?searchTerm=John%20Chapman&searchLimits=l-decade=189 William Charlesworth died aged 45 years on 18 July 1880; Sarah Charlesworth died aged 94 years on 16 Sept 1931 (1). This headstone has faint lettering that is extrememly hard to read but I’m sure that it says William Charlesworth was aged 45 years, not 44 as appears at the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The ‘all Charlesworth’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery was unhelpful other than to have on the Burial Register a William J Charlesworth (3). On the LDS website, William James Charlesworth was born c1836 and was a bootmaker and butcher who lived in Gawler, and he died in 1880. He was married on 16 July 1864 in Gawler to Sarah Elven who was b1838 England, arrived in SA in 1862 aboard the Castle Eden, and d1931 Smithfield SA. Their children were [1] William James Charlesworth born 25 Jan 1869 Gawler, died 2 Mar 1869 Gawler; [2] Sarah Elizabeth Charlesworth born 13 Feb 1870 Gawler; [3] Emily Charlesworth born 5 Feb 1872 Gawler; [4] Martha Bain nee Charlesworth born 13 Oct 1873 Gawler, died 1964; [5] William George Charlesworth born 10 Feb 1876 Gawler, died 19 Jul 1902 Balaklava; [6] Rachel Charlesworth born 19 Jul 1878 Lyndoch Road (4). Their marriage notice: “Charlesworth-Elven. On the 16th July, at the Wesleyan Church, Gawler, by the Rev Robert C Flockart, Mr William James Charlesworth, to Miss Sarah Elven, both of Gawler”, South Australian Register, Monday 18 July 1864 p2 (5). William’s death: “Charlesworth. On the 18th July, at the Wheatsheaf Inn, near Gawler, William James Charlesworth, the
beloved brother of Mrs Abraham Pope and Mrs Charles Jacobs, of Gawler, and Mrs E Walkley, of Dry Creek, aged 44 years, leaving a widow and five children to mourn their loss. A colonist of 41 years”, South Australian Register, Thursday 22 July 1880 p4 (6). The headstone must be implying he died in his 45th year, and I’ll concede he was 44 years old. Sarah’s death: “Charlesworth. On the 16th September, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Sarah, relict of William Charlesworth, of Gawler, and loving mother of Mrs A Bain, of Smithfield, and dear friend of Mrs Arthur Parker, of Gawler West, aged 94 years. A long life well spent.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 24 September 1931 p35 (7). On a website belonging to Ancestry.com, “William James Charlesworth was born in Sheerness Isle Sheppy, Kent, England in 1836 to Richard Charlesworth and Elizabeth Ashton. William James married Sarah Elven and had 5 children. He passed away on 1880 in Gawler” (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/charlesworth_william_&_sarah.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2hhcmxlc3dvcnRo&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I213630&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/39122701?searchTerm=William%20James%20Charlesworth&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43148245?searchTerm=William%20James%20Charlesworth&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90644834?searchTerm=Sarah%20Charlesworth&searchLimits= 8 http://records.ancestry.com.au/william_james_charlesworth_records.ashx?pid=202634871 790 Albert Charles Charlton died aged 70 years on 12 April 1958, Louise Laura Charlton died aged 84 years on 8th Dec 1976 (1), most likely a married couple. There was no suitable Albert Charlton Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but the Birth Index shows Albert Charles Charlton was born in 1887 to parents Christopher Henry Charlton and Henrietta Westphal in the Daly District (2). The ‘all Charlton’ Birth Index seeking offspring of parents Albert Charles Charlton and Louise Laura __ shows no children born to this pair on GenealogySA (3). According to the LDS data, Albert Charles Charlton was born on 6 Jul 1887 at Greens Plains SA to parents Christopher Henry Charlton (born 11 Jan 1857 Deloraine Park SA, died 22 May 1937 Kadina) and Henrietta Westphal (born 19 Aug 1863 Upper Dry Creek SA, died 23 Dec 1941 Kadina), who had married 27 Sep 1883 at Salisbury SA. Albert Charles Charlton had no sister called Louise Laura Charlton (4). Without their marriage data, and no offspring of theirs recorded at GenealogySA, it is getting harder to find Louise Laura’s maiden name and hence maybe her date of birth. Even the Savill Index of Advertiser Funeral Notices which occasionally mentions a maiden name, in this instance it just says Louise Laura Charlton’s funeral notice appeared on 1976-12-09 (5). My Trove searchings of old newspapers likewise didn’t turn up her marriage or engagement notice, in any state across Australia. Thus far I cannot find her date of birth, or confirm her year of birth. So were they married or siblings? Finally on a general Google search I found a website run by Ancestry.com.au with a series of pages dedicated to the family forebears of Graeme Moad, including Albert Charles Charlton and his wife Louise Laura Charlton. So we finally know that they are a married couple. Albert Charles Charlton was born on 6 Jul 1887 at Greens Plains SA, and died in Gawler on 12 Apr 1958. His parents were Christopher Henry Charlton (11 Jan 1857 - 22 May 1937) and Henrietta Westphal (19 Aug 1863 - 23 Dec 1941). Louise Laura Hettner was born on 25 Jun 1893 at Moculta SA, and died on 8 Dec 1976 in Tanunda. Her parents were Johannes Gottfried Hettner (23 Oct 1855 - 14 Aug 1940) and Louise Hueppauff (8 Mar 1854 - 14 Nov 1942). Albert Charles Charlton and Louise Laura Hettner were married in Adelaide on 3 Oct 1942 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/charlton_albert__charles_&_louise_laura.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hhcmx0b24=&g=QWxiZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hhcmx0b24=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I27970&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 6 http://graememoad.com/Family/WC101/WC101_426.HTM 791 Albert J (Bert) Cheek died aged 32 years on 4 July 1911; his sister Olive J Cox died aged 31 years, 11 months on 1 March 1906, interred at Langhorne’s Creek (1). Albert J Cheek would have been born c1879. The Albert Cheek Birth Index at GenealogySA did not find an Albert J Cheek, but the Albert Cheek search on South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms that Albert J (Bert) Cheek died aged 32y in 1911 on the Memorial Inscription and on the Burial Register is Albert James Cheek (2). There is no Albert James Cheek on the RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people (3). The Olive Cheek Marriage Index shows Olive Jane Cheek’s marriage to Frank Vernon Cheek in 1897 in the Barossa District (4). The Olive Cheek Birth Index at GenealogySA shows Olive Jane Cheek was born in 1874 to parents Philip Cheek and Olivia Penaluna in the Barossa District (5), and the ‘all Cheek’ Birth Index seeking parents Philip Cheek and Olivia Penaluna reveals [1] Arthur Thomas Cheek b1864; [2] Robert Cheek b1866; [3] Leonard Mankey Cheek b1867; [4] Emily Aves Cheek 1869; [5] Arthur Forgie Cheek b1872; [6] Olive Jane Cheek b1874; [7] Herbert Philip Cheek b1876; [8] Albert James Chuk[sic] 1879; [9] Muriel Elizabeth Cheek 1887 (6). This explains the difficulty finding Albert James Cheek’s birth details, his surname was mistakenly spelt when it was originally recorded. The RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people Albert James “Chuk” says he was born on 22 Jun 1879 in Gawler SA to parents Philip ”Chuk” and Olivia Penaluna (7). Incidentally, RootsWeb tells us that his sister Olive Jane Cox nee Cheek was born 25 Mar 1874 in Gawler (8). The next Cheek headstone shows that Olivia Cheek died aged 63 years on 10 Aug 1908; her husband Philip Cheek died aged 85 years on 26 Sept 1922; their children Arthur Thomas Cheek died aged 15 months on 16 Feb 1865; Leonard Mankey Cheek died aged 7 years on 20 Feb 1875; Herbert Philip Cheek died aged 8 months on 8 Dec 1876 (9). On a separate headstone, Jane Cheek nee Fry (1812-1898) was the “mother of the Australian Cheek’s” (10). On the LDS website, Philip Cheek was born in 1837 in Taunton, Somerset, England and died 26 Sep 1922 in SA. His parents were Robert Cheek (b1800, died 15 May 1849 SA) and Jane Fry (b1812, died 3 Feb 1898 Gawler). The Cheek family arrived in SA in 1849 aboard the David Malcolm. Philip Cheek was a storekeeper, carpenter and council inspector who lived in Gawler. He was married on 13 Aug 1863 in Gawler to Olivia Penaluna who was born in 1845 Carharrack, Cornwall, England to parents Thomas and Avis Penaluna, and died 10 Aug 1908 Gawler. Their children were [1] Arthur Thomas Cheek born 8 Nov 1864 Gawler, died 16 Feb 1866 Gawler (if LDS is correct, the headstone is out by one year); [2] Robert Cheek born 18 Feb 1866 Gawler, died 10 Dec 1922 SA; [3] Leonard Mankey Cheek born 22 Sep 1867 Gawler, died 20 Feb 1875 Gawler; [4] Emily Avis Cheek born 1 May 1869 Gawler; [5] Arthur Forgie Cheek born 14 Feb 1872 Gawler; [6] Olive Jane Cox nee Cheek born 25 Mar 1874 Gawler, died 1 Mar 1906 Langhornes Creek SA; [7] Herbert Philip Cheek born 21 Mar 1876 Gawler, died 8 Dec 1876 Gawler; [8] Albert James Creek b1879, d1911; [9] Muriel Elizabeth Cheek born 13 Feb 1887 Gawler (11). There is dispute over the years of Arthur Thomas Cheek’s birth and death. If the headstone is correct, he died aged 15 months on 1865-02-16, which makes his year of birth c1863. But the LDS site says he was born 18 Nov 1864. The RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people is a collation of SA Births, Deaths and Marriages and they agree that Arthur Thomas Cheek was born 1864-11-08 (12), so he must have died aged 15 months on 1866-02-16. I have amended the line entry, but obviously this will not alter the headstone. On a website of Ancestry.com it shows that Olivia Penaluna was born in Carharrack, Cornwall, England on 29 May 1845 to parents Thomas Penaluna and Avis Mankey. Olivia
married Philip Cheek and had 9 children. She passed away on 10 Aug 1908 in Gawler (13). On the same website, Philip Cheek was born in Halse, Somerset, England on 28 Jan 1837 to parents Robert Cheek and Jane Fry. Philip married Olivia Penaluna and had 9 children. He passed away on 26 Sep 1922 in Joslin, Adelaide (14), and Jane Fry was born in Halse, Somerset, England on 1812 to parents Thomas Fry and Ann. Jane married Robert Cheek and had 7 children. She passed away on 3 Feb 1898 in Gawler (15). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cheek_albert_j.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2hlZWs=&g=QWxiZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=110190 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2hlZWs=&g=T2xpdmU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hlZWs=&g=T2xpdmU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hlZWs=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I43465 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I41578 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/cd/cheek_olivia,_arthur_thomas,_leonard_mankey,_herbert_philip_&_philip.jpg 10 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cheek_%28nee_fry%29_jane.jpg 11 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I186385&tree=SouthAustralia 12 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I41558 13 http://records.ancestry.com.au/olivia_penaluna_records.ashx?pid=44861605 14 http://records.ancestry.com.au/philip_cheek_records.ashx?pid=25280480 15 http://records.ancestry.com.au/jane_fry_records.ashx?pid=1025519 792 Graham Chirgwin, 3rd son of H and I Chirgwin died aged 17 yrs and 9 mths on 21 Feb 1960; his mother Ivy Jane Chirgwin died aged 71 yrs on 24 March 1984; his father Hedley TL Chirgwin died aged 79 yrs on 22 Oct 1984; Graham’s siblings included Mostyn, Malcolm, Cynthia, and Janette (1). The Graham Chirgwin search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Graham Chirgwin died aged 17 yrs and 9 mths in 1960 on the Memorial Inscription and names him Graham Leland Chirgwin on the Burial Register (2), and the Malcolm Chirgwin search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Malcolm Chirgwin died aged 9 wks in 1936 on the Memorial Inscription and names him Malcolm Hedley Chirgwin on the Burial Register (3). The Hedley Chirgwin Birth Index at GenealogySA says Hedley Thomas Leland Chirgwin was born in 1905 to parents Thomas Chirgwin and Annie Elizabeth Rusby in the Port Gawler District (4), and the Hedley Chirgwin Marriage Index shows that Hedley Thomas Leland Chirgwin was married in 1932 to Ivy Jane Bell in Adelaide (5). The Mostyn Chirgwin search at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices show 3 notices in the 2001 Advertiser for Mostyn Victor Thomas Chirgwin (6), meaning he was 68 yrs when he died. Ronald E Keith Chirgwin died aged 61 years on 31 July 1971; his wife Kathleen Avis Chirgwin died aged 67 years on 5 Oct 1981; they were the parents of Diane and Robert (7). The Ronald Chirgwin Birth Index shows his birth was in 1909 to parents Thomas Chirgwin and Annie Elizabeth Rusby in the Port Gawler District (8). This makes him a younger brother of Hedley TL Chirgwin. To find Kathleen’s maiden name, a search on Trove reveals: “Hurst—Chirgwin. The engagement is announced of Kathleen, third daughter of Mr and Mrs AA Hurst, Davis street, Willaston, to Keith, youngest son of Mr and Mrs T Chirgwin, Queen street, Gawler South”, The Advertiser, Saturday 22 December 1934 p14 (9). The Kathleen Hurst Birth Index shows the birth in 1914 of Kathleen Avis Hurst to parents Alfred Albert Hurst and Amy Evis Ward in the Barossa District (10). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Hedley Thomas Leland Chirgwin was born on 20 Aug 1905 in Gawler to parents Thomas Chirgwin and Annie Elizabeth Rusby (11), Ivy Jane Bell was born on 25 Oct 1912 in Aberdeen (now Burra), SA to parents Robert Victor Bell and Mary Ellison Boomer (12), Kathleen Avis Hurst was born on 26 Jun 1914 in Willaston to parents Alfred Albert Hurst and AmyEvis Ward (13), and Ronald Esmond Keith Chirgwin was born on 27 Aug 1909 in Gawler to parents Thomas Chirgwin and Annie Elizabeth Rusby (14). Malcolm Hedley Chirgwin and Graham Leland Chirgwin were born too recently to show up on RootsWeb. Malcolm Hedley Chirgwin’s Birth: “Chirgwin. On the 2nd October, at Dr Dawe's Private Hospital, Gawler, to Mr and Mrs H Chirgwin, Gawler South —a son (Premature)” The Advertiser, Wednesday 7 October 1936 p16 (15). Graham Leland Chirgwin’s Birth: “Chirgwin. On May 28, at Dr Dawes' Hospital, Gawler, to Ivy and Hedly — a son (Graham Leland).

The ‘all Chenoweth’ search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms Memorial Inscriptions for Charles Chenoweth aged 74y 8m died in 1931 and Elizabeth Ann Chenoweth aged 81y 4m died in 1941 (2). According to the LDS website, Charles Chenoweth was born 9 Mar 1857 [three years before my estimate of c1860, yet he matches many other details] at Willunga SA to parents Edwin John Chenoweth (b1821 Lanteglos Camelford, Cornwall, England, died 12 May 1912 Norwood SA) and Jane Cornelius (b1819 Camelford, Cornwall, England, died 28 Feb 1891 Willunga), who had married 12 Sep 1840 Lanteglos Camelford, Cornwall, England. Charles Chenoweth was married on 10 Jul 1879 at Kangaroo Flat SA to Elizabeth Ann Nottle b1859, and had the following children [1] Grace Benetta Chenoweth born 21 May 1880 Willunga [See Grace Benetta Cullen]; [2] Elizabeth Ann Chenoweth born 20 Mar 1882 Willunga, died 27 Jul 1883 Willunga; [3] Charles Edwin Chenoweth born 23 May 1884 Willunga; [4] Jane Chenoweth

On the website of RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Ernest Gordon Chenoweth was born on 20 Nov 1912 in Normanville SA to parents Stanley Chenoweth and Caroline Ellen Finley (2). There is no Ernest Chenoweth marriage to a Clarice Winifred on GenealogySA’s Birth Index (3), nor is there a Clarice Winifred mother on the ‘all Chenoweth’ Birth Index (4). Trove searching for Ernest Chenoweth Clarice uncovers: Marriages: “Chenoweth—May. Marriage of Clarice, youngest daughter of the late Mr and Mrs H May, Gawler, to Ernest, youngest son of Mr and Mrs S Chenoweth, Normanville, was solemnised at the Tod St Methodist Church, Gawler, Dec 18.” The Advertiser, Tuesday 21 December 1943 p6 (5). I can find no birth details for Clarice Winifred May on GenealogySA nor RootsWeb. There are 21 marriages of Mr and Mrs H May (6), and that’s too mammoth a task to narrow it down on my salary. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chenoweth_ernest_gordon_&_clarice_winifred.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I522655 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2hlbm93ZXRo&g=RXJuZXN0&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hlbm93ZXRo&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48778592?searchTerm=Chenoweth%20Ernest%20Clarice&searchLimits= 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TWF5&g=SA==&c=&y=&r=MA== Henry Wilfred Chenoweth died aged 64 years on 2 Dec 1983, husband of Elizabeth Joy (1), so he was born c1919. The RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people found Henry Wilfred Chenoweth, who was born 19 May 1919 in Willaston to parents Richard Lewis Chenoweth and Eliza Summerton (2). Richard Lewis Chenoweth died aged 66 years on 2 June 1955, his wife Eliza Chenoweth died aged 86 years on 14 May 1978; parents of Dorothy, Iris, Henry, Mervyn, Claude and Noel (deceased) (3). The RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people found Eliza Summerton, who was born on the 18 May 1892 in Keilli SA to parents Thomas Henry Summerton and Eliza Jane Ireland (4). Daphne Joan Chenoweth died aged 32 years on 16 Sept 1955 (5). Daphne Chenoweth Death Index shows that Daphne Joan Chenoweth died in 1955, and her nominated relative was her husband Henry Wilfred Chenoweth (6), so Henry W was married first to Daphne, then after she died, to Elizabeth Joy. Wedding: “Chenoweth — Peake. The marriage of Daphne Joan, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs HA Peake, Mt Barker, to Sgt Henry W Chenoweth, AAVC, eldest son of Mr and Mrs L Chenoweth, Willaston, celebrated Mt Barker, Oct 17.” The Advertiser, Tuesday 27 October 1942 p6 (7).

As seen in Note 793, Jane Chenoweth born 25 Feb 1886 Willunga to parents Charles Chenoweth and Elizabeth Ann Nottle. Dorothy Chenoweth was born c1904, and on the Dorothy Chenoweth Birth Index, there are 5 Names of Dorothy Chenoweth, but only one born in 1904, with the next nearest at least 6 years away. Therefore, Dorothy Gwendoline Pearl Chenoweth b1904 to parents Charles Chenoweth and Elizabeth Ann Nottle (2), so they are sisters buried here. Dorothy must be the “at least one Living Chenoweth” mentioned in Note 793. The RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people found Dorothy Gwendoline Pearl Chenoweth was born 17 Feb 1904 in Gawler to parents Charles Chenoweth and Elizabeth Ann Nottle (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chenoweth_dorothy_&_jane.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hlbm93ZXRo&g=RG9yb3RoeQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I33999 Lucy Amelia Chesson died aged 42 years on 1 Sept 1932; wife of Wilson Chesson (1). The Wilson Chesson Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows he was married in 1918 to Lucy Amelia Earle in the Port Gawler District (2). On the LDS website, George Chesson was born 8 Apr 1841 in Gedney, Lincolnshire, England to parents Thomas Chesson and Sarah Dalton, and was christened 9 May 1841 in Gedney. Mary Ward was born in 1845, died 15 Dec 1906 Gawler Plains. George Chesson and Mary Ward were married 30 Jul 1867 at the Wesleyan Chapel, Stone Hill SA. Their children were [1] Caroline Mary Chesson born 24 Jun 1868 Templers SA, married 30 Jul 1892 Enfield SA to Walter Thompson; [2] Annie Maria Chesson born 21 Mar 1870 Templers, was married 20 Jan 1894 Smithfield SA to Arthur Ernest Forthrope Maloney; [3] Priscilla Rosina Chesson born 18 Jun 1872 Templers, was married 9 Oct 1897 Gawler Plains to Gregory Williams; [4] James Thomas Chesson born 7 Mar 1874 Templers, was married 9 Sep 1905 Port Pirie to Bertha Helena Johnson; [5] John William Chesson born 2 Sep 1876 Gawler River, was married 17 Apr 1912 Gawler to Maria Martha Kaeding; [6] Harriett Chesson was born 13 Apr 1878 Gawler River, was married 16 Oct 1909 North Adelaide to Samuel Mozart Bennett; [7] Charles Chesson was born 27 Apr 1880 Gawler River, was married 8 Mar 1911 Gawler to Anna Hulda Maslin; [8] George Chesson was born 12 Sep 1882 Smithfield, and died 16 Feb 1910 Gawler; [9] Albert Chesson was born 6 May 1884 Smithfield, was married 3 Jul 1911 Gawler to Emily Wasley; [10] Louisa Chesson was born 17 Jun 1886 Smithfield, and was married 12 Oct 1915 Prospect to William Henry Stacey; [11] Wilson Chesson was born 22 Nov 1887 Smithfield; [12] Elizabeth May Chesson was born 20 Jun 1890 Smithfield, and died 28 Dec 1891 Smithfield (3). This next Chesson family headstone concerns Anna Hulda Chesson was born 15 May 1890 and died 11 July 1965, her husband Charles Chesson was born 27 April 1880, and died 7 June 1952; their daughters Margery Eliza Chesson was born 1 June 1912, died 20 July 1998; and Evelyn Dawn Chesson {flower obscures} Feb 1930, died 11 Sept 2004 (4). Charles and Anna’s wedding: “Chesson—Maslen. On the 8th March, at Gawler, by the Rev JH Nield, of Gawler, Charles, third son of George Chesson, Gawler South, to Anna, the adopted daughter of W Clark,
Angle Vale”, The Advertiser, Thursday 6 April 1911 p6 (5). GenealogySA only gives years, not months or days, so must try another way to ascertain the date in February 1930 on which Evelyn Dawn Chesson was born, 18 years after her sister Margery Eliza Chesson was born. So who’s daughter was Evelyn Dawn Chesson? RootsWeb doesn’t tell us, neither does LDS as this would be considered too recent and she may be still alive [fair enough]. We believe her parents were Charles Chesson and Anna Hulda Maslin from the headstone, and we know she was born in 1930, so Trove may help us with a birth announcement, but it doesn’t. Father’s memorial notice is clear that he had two daughters: “Chesson. Charles. In loving memory of our dear husband and father, who passed away June 7, 1952, ever remembered by his wife Ann and daughters Marj and Dawn”, The Advertiser, Saturday 6 June 1953 p26 (6). The ‘all Chesson’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Charles Chesson and Anna Hulda Maslen yields 4 children (remembering the current time cut-off for genealogical data in the mid1920s). These children were [1] Margery Eliza Chesson b1912 in the Port Gawler District; [2] Violet Amy Catharine Chesson b1915 in the Barossa District; [3] Hazel Ella Joyce Chesson b1916 in the Barossa District; [4] Jessie Ivy Chesson b1920 in the Barossa District (7). All this searching because someone didn’t move the flowers before taking the photo of the headstone. On a different subject, the ‘all Earle’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1908, in Adelaide, George Arthur Earle was married to Lucy Amelia Treglown (8), and then in 1918 this Lucy Amelia Earle nee Treglown married Wilson Chesson as noted above (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Lucy Amelia Chesson formerly Earle nee Treglown was born Lucy Amelia Treglown on 26 Nov 1889 in Adelaide to parents George Treglown and Olive Crabb (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chesson_lucy_amelia.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2hlc3Nvbg==&g=V2lsc29u&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F2578&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/cd/chesson_anna_hulda,_charles,_margery_eliza_&_evelyn_dawn.jpg 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5264206?searchTerm=Wilson%20Chesson&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48275213 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hlc3Nvbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RWFybGU=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I162274 798 Horace Chivell died aged 69 years on 9 Nov 1959; his wife Pearl Louise Chivell died aged 67 years on 13 March 1962, parents of Valma (1). The Horace Chivell Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows he was married 1917 in Adelaide to Pearl Louise Emmerson (2), and the Horace Chivell Birth Index shows he was born in 1890 to parents John Chivell and Elizabeth Ann Vinall in Adelaide (3). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Horace Chivell was born 1 Sep 1890 in Salisbury, Adelaide SA to parents John Chivell and Elizabeth Ann Vinall (4), but there was no record here of the birth of Pearl Louise Emmerson, nor on GenealogySA, whom I calculate to be born c1895. “Chivell-Emmerson: On the 28th July, at Christ Church, Hawthorn, by the Rev F Manning, Horace, eldest son of the late John Chivell, Augusta-square, Smithfield, to Pearl, eldest daughter of Arthur Emmerson, "St Raymonds," Llewellynterrace, Hawthorn. Present address Hawthorn Lodge, Smithfield”, The Advertiser, Saturday 18 August 1917 p8 (5). Obituary: “Mr Albert Arthur Emmerson, of Salisbury-street, North Unley, who died in a private hospital on Thursday, was a native of Victoria, having been born at Footscray 57 years ago. .... For some time he worked on the "Examiner" at Launceston, and on his return to Victoria took up farming at Gippsland. Mr. Emmerson came to Adelaide in 1911 .... A widow and six children survive—Mesdames CH Chivell of Smithfield and EA Sutton, of Unley; Miss Edith Emmerson, and Messrs Theodore, Roland, and Stanley Emmerson all of Unley.” The Advertiser, Saturday 5 July 1930 p16 (6). Pearl’s parents: “Emmerson. On April 14, at Adelaide, Edith Holledge Emmerson, of Nairne, and late of 3 Salisbury street, Unley, the dearly beloved wife of the late Albert Arthur Emmerson, and loving mother of Pearl, Edith, Roland and Stanley, aged 76 years.” The Advertiser, Monday 16 April 1951 p14 (7), all this explaining who Pearl’s family were, but no closer to finding out her date of birth, which may have occurred in Victoria, or even Tasmania 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chivell_horace_&_pearl_louise.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2hpdmVsbA==&g=SG9yYWNl&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hpdmVsbA==&g=SG9yYWNl&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I42976 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5545023?searchTerm=Horace%20Chivell&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30493057?searchTerm=Emmerson%20Chivell&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45689691?searchTerm=Pearl%20Louise%20Emmerson&searchLimits= 799 Elizabeth Ann Chivell, Olive Chivell and Mabel Quirk share a headstone and one wonders if they were sisters. Elizabeth Ann Chivell died aged 85 yrs on 21 Oct 1945 [born c1860]; Olive Chivell died aged 79 yrs on 26 July 1971 [born c1892]; Mabel Quirk died aged 77 yrs on 3 Nov 1969 [born c1892] (1). So are they mother and twin daughters? The Elizabeth Chivell Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when Elizabeth Ann Chivell died in 1945, her nominated relative was her deceased husband John Chivell (2). The John Chivell Marriage Index shows he was married in 1883 to Elizabeth Vinall in Adelaide (3), which tells us that they were the parents of Horace Chivell - See Note 798. The ‘all Chivell’ Birth Index for offspring of John Chivell and Elizabeth Ann Vinall shows the following children [1] Ethel Chivell b1884; [2] Agnes Chivell b1885; [3] Lucy Chivell b1888; [4] Mabel Chivell b1893; [5] Olive Chivell b1893; [6] Horace Chivell b1890; [7] Norman Chivell b1896; [8] Cyril Frank Chivell b1898 (4). Now we know their children’s names, we can search RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people for actual birth dates. [1] Ethel Chivell born 1 March 1884 in Peachy Belt, Gawler; [2] Agnes Chivell born 26 July 1885 Little Para, near Salisbury, Adelaide; [3] Lucy Chivell born 14 June 1888 in Salisbury, Adelaide; [4] Mabel Chivell [twin] born 11 June 1893 in Salisbury, Adelaide; [5] Olive Chivell [twin] born 11 June 1893 in Salisbury, Adelaide; [6] Horace Chivell born 1 Sept 1890 in Salisbury, Adelaide; [7] Norman Chivell born 5 Feb 1896 in Salisbury, Adelaide; [8] Cyril Frank Chivell born 6 July 1898 in Salisbury, Adelaide (5). This Chivell headstone commemorates Beatrice Vera Peace Chivell died aged 67 years on 7 Oct 1969; Cyril Frank Chivell died aged 84 years on 27 June 1983; parents of Cyril (dec’d), Colin, Alan and Vera (6). The Cyril Frank Chivell Marriage Index doesn’t show a marriage to Beatrice, but the Cyril Chivell Birth Index reveals not only Cyril Frank Chivell’s birth in 1898 to parents John Chivell and Elizabeth Ann Vinall, but Cyril Herbert Chivell’s birth in 1928 to parents Frank Cyril Chivell and Beatrice Vera Piece Mullins in the Barossa District (7). I had estimated Cyril Herbert Chivell’s birth to be c1926, but on his headstone it says Cyril Herbert Chivell died aged 36 years on 27 Dec 1968 (8), not aged 38 years as appears on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, which means he could have been born in 1928. The Cyril Chivell search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms on the Memorial Inscription that Cyril Herbert Chivell died in 1964 aged 36 years (10). The RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people search for Cyril Herbert Chivell has his birth on 21 Nov 1928 in Gawler (11). The RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people search for Beatrice Vera Peace Mullins says she was born 31 May 1902 in Riverton SA to parents Edwin George Mullins and Ellen Rebecca Harris (12). Finally,
the SA births data at Rootsweb reveal that Elizabeth Ann Vinall was born on 1 Feb 1862 in Williamstown SA to parents Edward Vinall and Mary Ann Gower (13), meaning she was really only 83 yrs old when she died, not 85 yrs. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chivell_elizabeth_ann_&_olive.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q2hpdmVsbA==&g=RWxpemFiZXRo&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2hpdmVsbA==&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hpdmVsbA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=112517 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chivell_beatrice_vera_peace_&_cyril_frank.jpg 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2hpdmVsbA==&g=Q3lyaWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chivell_cyril_herbert.jpg 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 10 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2hpdmVsbA==&g=Q3lyaWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=112517 12 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I307168 13 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I385800 800 John Chivell died aged 6 years on 15 July 1938; Thalia Chivell died aged 18 years on 27 Jan 1943 (1). The search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Thalia Dawn Chivell was born 1 May 1925 in Adelaide to parents Horace Chivell and Pearl Louise Emmerson [see Note 798] (2). John’s death: “Chivell. On July 16, at the Adelaide Children's Hospital, John Albert, the beloved son of Horace and Pearl Chivell, of Smlthfield, aged six years and eight months.” The Mail (Adelaide), Saturday 16 July 1938 p2 (3), but I cannot find an announcement regarding his birth, and there’s nothing on GenealogySA nor RootsWeb, ?born interstate. “Chivell. On Jan 27, at Adelaide, Thalia Dawn, beloved eldest daughter of Horace and Pearl Chivell, of Smithfield. Aged 17 years.” The Advertiser, Thursday 28 January 1943 p6 (4), so although the headstone says she was 18 years old, she was actually 17, which is confirmed by the dates. On the Town of Gawler website, John Albert Chivell aged 6 years from Smithfield was buried 17/07/1938 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 4 J 2, with Rev Roney officiating (5). Thalia Dawn Chivell aged 17 years from Smithfield was buried 28/10/1943 in Willaston Cemetery’s reopened Plot/Grave/Niche 4 J 2, with Rev Hunt officiating (6). And what of Cynthia Shirley Chivell? Is she a single lady or is this her married name? Unfortunately it is just too recent for Genealogy sites to divulge dates of birth and there doesn’t seem much in the press about her, so I’ll have to just await what unfolds 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/chivell_john_&_thalia.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I523306 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/55942130?searchTerm=Horace%20Chivell&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48899431?searchTerm=Horace%20Chivell&searchLimits= 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33408 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32892 801 Charles E Churchman died aged 74 years on 11 July 1902; his wife Marion Churchman died aged 60 years on 6 June 1892 (1). The Charles Churchman Marriage Index shows that Charles Edmund Churchman was married in Adelaide 1853 to Marianne Michaeljohn (2). According to the LDS website, Charles Edmund Churchman b1829 was married 5 May 1853 in Gawler to Marian Michaeljohn b1831. Their children included [1] “Child” Churchman born 12 Aug 1856 Bertha SA; [2] Marianne Emma Churchman born 3 Nov 1864 Bertha; [3] Alice Louisa Churchman born 14 Jun 1868 Willaston (3). “Married. By licence, on the 5th May last, by the Rev WH Coombes, at St George's Church, Gawler Town, Charles E Churchman, to Marianne, only daughter of Capt James Hope Michaeljohn, Rosebank, Scotland.” South Australian Register, Wednesday 6 July 1853 p3 (4). “Carbolic Acid Poisoning. At about 11.15 on Friday night Dr Jurs reported to the Port Adelaide police that he had been called to the Flagstaff Dining Rooms, Commercial road, to see a man who had attempted to commit suicide. On arrival he found that the man was suffering from the effects of a dose of carbolic acid. Near the bed was a bottle about a third full of the poison, and another bottle full of wine was close to his head. The poison had too great a hold on the man for the doctor to save his life. Shortly before expiring he stated that he had taken a dose of carbolic acid. The deceased, whose name was Charles Edmund Churchman, was over 80[sic] years of age. He was the father of Mrs Caffin, keeper of the boardinghouse. Churchman had been rather morose lately, and drank fairly heavily during the past few days. An inquest will be held at the Exchange Hotel, Port Adelaide, at 11 o'clock this morning”, The Register (Adelaide), Monday 14 July 1902 p4 (5). Of course, we know he was only 74 years old. “Caffin—Churchman. On the 29th December, at St Luke's, Adelaide, by the Venerable Archdeacon Farr, Alfred, third son of Mr William Caffin, Warrnambool, to May, second daughter of Mr Charles Churchman, Willaston,” The South Australian Advertiser, Wednesday 19 January 1887 p4 (6). “Churchman. On the 30th September, at Meningie Hotel, suddenly, of heart disease, Lilly, the eldest daughter of Charles and MA Churchman, of Willaston,” The South Australian Advertiser, Friday 11 October 1878 p4 (7). “Churchman. On the 6th June, at Bertha, the beloved wife of Charles Churchman, aged 60 years”, Bunyip, Friday 17 June 1892 p2 (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/churchman_charles_e_&_marion.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2h1cmNobWFu&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I183503&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48547435?searchTerm=Charles%20Churchman&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/55697426?searchTerm=Charles%20Churchman&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/37166122?searchTerm=Charles%20Churchman&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29364323?searchTerm=Charles%20Churchman&searchLimits= 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97236196?searchTerm=Charles%20Churchman&searchLimits= 802 This Bridget Clancy headstone just says Bridget, wife of C Clancy (1), so it is not clear from where the “died aged 40 years on 5 March 1899 came from on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, although there may be writing under the ‘wife of C Clancy’ (2). There is another photo of a headstone of the mainly Daly family, with a Bridget Clancy who died aged 40 years on 5 March 1899 (3). These two Bridget Clancy memorials are quite likely referring to the same person, as the annotator of the headstones has presumed [or has other knowledge], and if so, it seems best that I combine these two entries into one line, with a note. It is likely, if these are the same person, that Bridget Clancy’s maiden name was Daly. The Bridget Clancy search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Bridget Clancy on the Burial Register, but two Memorial Inscriptions for Bridget Clancy aged 40y who died in 1899 (4). The ‘all Clancy’ Marriage Index shows that in 1879 a Christopher Clansey[sic] married Bridget Daly in the Barossa District (5). Deaths. “Clancy. On the 3rd March, Bridget, the wife of Christopher Clancy, of near Gawler, eldest daughter of Mr Jas Daly, Kangaroo Flat, aged 40 years.” Bunyip, Friday 11 March 1898 p2 (6). There is no relevant Bridget Daly on the SA births list on RootsWeb

The the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that John Clark was 56 years old (2), and I can accept that as quite reasonable, but it still looks more like 58 years to me. The John Clark search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery have a Memorial Inscription showing that John Clark aged 58y in 1897 (3), confirming my suggestion, and making his year of birth c1839. The only Eliza Clark who married a man surnamed Bryan was in 1902 when Eliza Clark married Francis Patrick Bryan in the Barossa District [See Note 710] (4). Her year of birth must be c1862. “Clark. On the 24th June, at his residence, near Roseworthy, John Clark, aged 58 years”, Bunyip, Friday 25 June 1897 p2 (5). “Sudden Death of Mr Johh Clark. Yesterday morning Mr John Clark, farmer, and an old resldent of the Roseworthy district, was found dead in his bed. He had been unwell for some time previously but refused to seek medical advice. On Wednesday he was about as usual and. killed a pig. When the discovery of the death was made the Gawler police were communicated with, and Dr Dawes went out to examine the body. As he certified that death was due to heart disease an inquest was not considered necesaary. The deceased gentleman, who was fifty-eight years of age, was of a very careful, retiring disposition, and devoted himself exclusively to minding his own business.” Bunyip, Friday 25 June 1897 p2 (6). From the data explained in Note 710, John Clark was from England and had come to SA, leaving a daughter {Eliza Clark} at least back in England. John Clark who had land at Roseworthy married Ann in Australia, but the marriage didn’t survive. His daughter Eliza came out from England as an adult, and inherited his estate when he died. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clark_john.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q2xhcms=&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2xhcms=&g=RWxpemE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97574850?searchTerm=John%20Clark&searchLimits=l-title=371 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97574852?searchTerm=John%20Clark&searchLimits=l-title=371 Allan DE Clark died aged 45 years on 22 Aug 1948 (1). The Allan Clark Search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription Allan DE Clark who died aged 45y in 1948 and the Burial Register names him Allan David Everett Clark (2). “Passing of Brilliant Teacher: The late Mr Allan Clark. Widely mourned by the hundreds of scholars who passed through his hands, and by every one who knew him, is the death of Allan David Everett Clark, whose brilliant teaching ability became a by-word of his 10-year appointment at the Gawler Primary School. Born October 19th, 1902, at Kanowna, (near Kalgoorlie) WA, he came with his widowed mother to live at Gawler Blocks. While attending Gawler High School in the Intermediate class he won the Tennyson Medal for English. Later at Adelaide High School, the Teachers' College, and University he gained the Batchelor of Arts degree. The late Mr Clark began teaching in 1922 at the then newly opened St Leonard's School and later came to Gawler as assistant, remaining for 10 years. Transferred to Blair Athol, he moved on to Hindmarsh, Atherton and Port Adelaide as chief assistant. He then, in turn, became Head Teacher at Cleve, Cowell Higher Primary, Karoonda Area and Yorketown Area schools. A devout Methodist the late Mr Clark was a popular local preacher in Gawler and took many services for all Protestant denominations. He devoted most of his life to his mother who kept house for him on his transfer to country schools, until her death on August 22nd 1944 (he himself died on the same date) four years later. There survive two sisters, Mrs ME Towill, Claypans, and Mrs HE Matschoss, Morphett Vale, two brothers, Mr Stephen Clark (who has taught for 11 years in Gawler — 21 years for the two brothers) and Mr Newton Clark, of Morphett Vale, three nephews and three nieces. The late Mr Clark died after a long illness. He was buried at Wiilaston Cemetery on Monday morning, Revs Brasher and StribIey officiating at the graveside. His close associations in school and church were shown by his bearers — Messrs HG Bray (High School Council and Baptist Church), AF Higgins (Primary School Committee and Church of Christ), Ross Hamilton (Prim School Committee), JH Chambers (Technical and High School Staffs), Edgar Pederick (Baptist Church) and R Hook (Gawler West)” Bunyip, Friday 27 August 1948 p1 (3).

The George Clark Birth Index at GenealogySA shows George Edward Arnold Clark was born in 1905 to parents Henry Clark and Marie Mathilde Stubberfield in the Kapunda District (2), and the George Clark Marriage Index shows George Edward Arnold Clark was married in 1928 to Mary Veronica Curtis in Adelaide (3). Mary Clark died aged 82 years on 27 May 1991, wife of George, mother of Milton, Dorothy, Betty and June (4). “Engagements. Curtis—Clark. The engagement is announced of Mary, youngest daughter of Mrs and the late JJ Curtis, late of Renmark, to George, second son of Mrs Fenwick and the late Henry Clark, of Eudunda”, The Register (Adelaide), Thursday 19 January 1928 p8 (5). The ‘all Clark’ Birth Index seeking offspring of George Edward Arnold Clark and Mary Curtis shows that in 1928 Milton Neil Clark was born to parents George Edward Arnold Clark and Mary Veronica Curtis in Adelaide (6), confirming Mary’s full name. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that George Edward Arnold Clark was born on 7 Oct 1905 in Eudunda SA to parents Henry Clark {born c1856} and Marie Mathilde Stubberfield {born 11 Sep 1875 at Dutton SA} (7), but I cannot find any birth records of Mary Veronica Curtis. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clark_george_e.a..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2xhcms=&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2xhcms=&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clark_mary.jpg 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/55061131?searchTerm=Clark%20Curtis&searchLimits=l-title=89 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2xhcms=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I276598 Roy Edgar Cliff died aged 69 years on 29 Jan 1965; his wife Lissa Mary Cliff died aged 81 Years on 15 Dec 1978, parents of Undine and Arthur; Ronda Ellen Cliff died aged 54 years on 27 Sept 1976, wife of Arthur (1).

people shows that Lissa Mary Undine Malpas was born 25 Sep 1897 in Noarlunga to parents Roland Malpas and Frances Felicite Wicksteed (5). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Lissa Mary Cliff died in 1976 (6), and so does GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries search for Willaston Cemetery where a Memorial Inscription says she died aged 81 years in 1976 (7). But the headstone seems to say 1978, not 1976, which makes more sense anyway if she was born in 1897 and died aged 81 years. The Lissa Cliff search at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices section says Lissa Mary Cliff notice was in 1978 (8). Causby-Cliff. The engagement is announced of Ronda Ellen, only child of Mr and Mrs Len Causby, Warooka, to Arthur Roland, only son of Mr and Mrs Roy Cliff, Roseworthy.

Still on RootsWeb WorldConnect, Roy Edgar Cliff was born 8 Feb 1895 in Noarlunga SA, and died 29 Jan 1965 in Glenelg.

Some of the details have had to be gathered from the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), as the headstone has been repaired. The Rebecca Clift Death Index at GenealogySA confirms her 1876 death, her nominated relative being her father John Clift (3). “Death. Clift. On the 6th March, of typhoid fever, Rebecca, second daughter of T and E Clift, of Sheaoak Log, aged I5 years; Deeply regretted by all who knew her.” Bunyip, Friday 10 March 1876 p2 (4). Later that same month, another item in the Bunyip: “Family Bereavement. The greatest sympathy will be felt for Mr Clift and his family, of Sheoak Log. During the last three months he has had three members of his family carried off by typhoid fever. Two sons, aged 21 and 22 years respectively, and a daughter, aged 15 years. This is indeed a sad blow to the bereaved parents, and great sympathy is felt throughout the district.” Bunyip, Friday 31 March 1876 p2 (5). I am not sure why Rebecca’s father is John Clift, but her parents were ‘T and E’ Clift. Maybe John was his second name, or it is a typo from the Bunyip. According to the LDS website, John Gidley Clift was born 4 Feb 1824 Devon, England, came top SA before 1851, was a farmer living at McLaren Vale, died 26 Oct 1878 in Kilkerran SA, and is buried at Maitland. His parents were John Clift (b1798 Totnes, Devon, England, died 6 Apr 1879 McLaren Vale SA) and Eleanor Gidley (born 16 Jul 1798 Devon, England, died 6 Feb 1871 McLaren Vale), who had married 1 Mar 1818 at Dittisham, Devon. John Gidley Clift was married c1850 in South Australia to Elizabeth Wilson who was born c1830, and died 22 Jan 1924 SA. Their children were [1] James Clift born 25 Sep 1851 McLaren Vale, died 12 May 1925 Willunga; [2] John Thomas Clift born 3 Jan 1853 McLaren Vale, died 28 Mar 1876 Sheaoak Log SA; [3] Robert Clift b 30 Aug 1854 McLaren Vale, died 1 Jan 1876 Sheaoak Log; [4] Othneil Clift born 14 May 1856 McLaren Vale, died 19 Jul 1887 Bordertown; [5] Frederick Clift born 13 Dec 1857 McLaren Vale, South Australia, died 27 Nov 1946 Mitcham; [6] Marion Wilson Clift born 11 Apr 1859 McLaren Vale; [7] Rebecca Clift born 16 Aug 1860 McLaren Vale, died 6 Mar 1876 Sheaoak Log; [8] John Clift born 16 Jul 1862 McLaren Vale; [9] Elizabeth Anne Clift born 31 Jul 1864 Sheaoak Log; [10] Margaret Clift born 29 Oct 1866 Cricklewood nr Sheoak Log; [11] George Clift born 11 Mar 1869 Sheaoak Log; [12] Louis Clift born 26 Nov 1870 Sheaoak Log (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clift_john_thomas_&_rebecca.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q2xpZnQ=&g=UmViZWNjYQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97219878?searchTerm=Clift&searchLimits=l-title=371 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97219449?searchTerm=Clift&searchLimits=l-title=371 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I6166&tree=SouthAustralia William John Clode died aged 86 years on 20 April 1963, husband of Ada, stepfather of Jean (1). On searching RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people for William John Clode, we find that he was born on 30 Jan 1878 in Black Rock Plains SA to parents John Clode and Jane Elizabeth Keen (2). The William Clode Marriage Index shows that William John Clode was married in 1908 to Mary Ann Towning in the Barossa District (3), and see her discussed in Note 393, where she was filed under the surname Glode, not Clode. The Mary Clode Death Index shows that Mary Ann Cloda[sic] died in 1946 in Gawler, with nominated relative her [living] husband William John Cloda[sic] (4). “Deaths: Clode. On July 9th, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Mary Ann (Polly), beloved wife of William John Clode, of 82 Adelaide Road, Gawler South.” Bunyip, Friday 12 July 1946 p5 (5). His second marriage: “West — Clode. The marriage of Ada Anne West to William John Clode, both of Gawler South, was solemnised at the Gawler West Methodist Church, on August 13, the Rev RL Rooney officiating.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 3 November 1949 p34 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clode_william_john.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I15709 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2xvZGU=&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q2xvZGU=&g=TWFyeQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96844135?searchTerm=William%20Clode&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93750512?searchTerm=William%20Clode&searchLimits=l-decade=194 Patrick John Coffey died aged 83 years on 5 Aug 1987 (1).

On GenealogySA there is no Francis Coleman Marriage Index, but the Francis Coleman Birth Index shows he was born in 1900 to parents James Coleman and Sarah Monaghan in the Nairne District (2). In fact, the RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people website says Francis Coleman was born 21 Aug 1900 in Kanmantoo SA to parents James Francis Coleman (born c1863) and Sarah Monaghan (born c1874) (3). Without knowing Mary Ann Coleman’s former or maiden name, I cannot find her date of birth. Trove searching did not help. Is it just coincidence that April 1997 seemed particularly toxic for Colemans? 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/coleman_mary_ann_&_francis.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29sZW1hbg==&g=RnJhbmNpcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I34736 Ray Coleman was born 18 April 1921 and died 19 April 1997; his wife Verna Coleman was born 16 May 1924 and died 25 April 1997 (1). The RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people website shows Raymond Edward Coleman was born on 18 Apr 1921 in Exeter, Adelaide SA to parents Albert Edward Coleman and Clarice May Watson (2). GenealogySA has no Raymond Edward Coleman Marriage Index, and there’s as yet no records showing at the ‘all Coleman’ Bith Index for father Raymond nor mother Verna (3). A general Google for Raymond Verna Coleman revealed a Levett Genealogy (January 2014) Family Card stating that Albert Edward (Ted) Coleman (born 21 January 1901 and died 28 July 1988) married Clarice May Watson (born 1 June 1904, died 8 October 1969) and had a son Raymond Edward Coleman. William Heny Cox (1884 - 1945) married Ethel Mary Williamson (1895 - 1977) and had a daughter Verna Cox. Raymond Edward Coleman (born 18 April 1921 Gawler, died19 April 1997, Woodside, buried Willaston Cemetery) and Verna Cox (born 16 May 1924 Orroroo SA, died 25 April 1997 Woodville, buried Willaston Cemetery) married 23 February 1945, Holy Trinity Church Adelaide. Their children included [1] Marilyn Coleman; [2] Richard James Coleman; [3] Graham Coleman (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/coleman_verna_&_ray.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I527206 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29sZW1hbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ricksmith61/levett/wc05/wc05_234.html John H Coles died aged 57 years died 13 March 1882; his wife Sarah Coles died aged 50 years on 27 April 1979 (1). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says John H Coles was 54 years old, and to me it looks more like 57 years (2). But the John Coles search at GenealogySA’s section on South Australia Cemeteries for has John Henry Coles was 53 years old when he died in 1882 (3), and on re-looking at the headstone, it is certainly possible that he was 53 yrs old. According to LDS data, John Henry Coles was born 23 Nov 1827 in Devon, England and died 13 Mar 1882 in Gawler SA. He arrived in SA in 1855 aboard the Hooghly, and was a storekeeper living in Gawler. His parents were John Rendall Coles (born 7 Jun 1806 Devon, died 12 Jun 1878 Williamstown SA) and Margaret Battens Perryman (born 10 May 1807 Dartmouth, Devon and died 11 Mar 1872 Williamstown) who had married on 26 Aug 1827 in Dartmouth. John Henry Coles was married to Sarah Coles [nee?] who was b1829 and died in Gawler on 27 April 1879, with no issue (4). So John H Coles really was 54 years old, well done to the headstone reader! 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/coles_john_h_&_sarah.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q29sZXM=&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I177019&tree=SouthAustralia Grace Margaret Coles died aged 69 years on 28 June 1976; wife of Thomas Charles Frank Coles (1). The Grace Coles seach at GenealogySA’s section on Newspaper Death Notices show that Advertiser had a death notice in 1976 for Grace Margaret (Peggy) Coles (2). The Thomas Coles Marriage Index doesn’t reveal any such marriage (3). The ‘all Coles’ Birth Index seeking parents Thomas Charles Frank Coles and Grace Margaret show no offspring, and hence Grace Margaret Coles’ maiden / former name still eludes us (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/coles_grace_margaret.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Q29sZXM=&g=R3JhY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29sZXM=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Elizabeth N Colligan died aged 69 years on 27 Aug 1957 (1). The Elizabeth Colligan search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows that Elizabeth Nicholas Colligan died aged 69 years in 1957 (2). The ‘all Colligan’ Marriage Index shows that Elizabeth Nicholas Lonsdale was married in 1911 to James William Colligan in Adelaide (3). On the LDS website, Elizabeth Nicholas Lonsdale was born in 1890 to William Harris Lonsdale born (20 Sep 1866 Gawler) and Mary Nicholas Whinnen (b1868), who had married 22 May 1889 in Gawler. Elizabeth Nicholas Lonsdale was married 27 May 1911 at New Parkside SA to James William Colligan b1884 (4). If the LDS information is correct, she could only have been 67 years at most. Elizabeth Nicholas Lonsdale does not appear on the SA birth listings at RootsWeb but on the Elizabeth Lonsdale Birth Index at GenealogySA we find that Elizabeth Nicholes[sic] Longsdale[sic] was born in the Barossa District in 1889 to parents William Longsdale and Mary Whinnen (5). Returning to RootsWeb we find that Elizabeth Nicholes Longsdale was born on 7 Aug 1889 in Gawler to parents William Longsdale and Mary Whinnen (6), making her age at death just 68 yrs and so just into her 69th year. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/colligan_elizabeth_n..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q29sbGlnYW4=&g=RWxpemFiZXRo&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29sbGlnYW4=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I302973&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TG9uc2RhbGU=&g=RWxpemFiZXRo&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I84822 Benjamin Collin was born in 1858, and died 31 Jan 1921; his wife Sarah Ann [nee Crocker] Collin was born 20 Oct 1860, and died 21 Feb 1946, parents of ten (1). The ‘all Collin’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Benjamin Collin and Sarah Ann Crocker shows only 7 children [1] Harriet Collin b1882; [2] Frederick Arthur Collin b1884; [3] May Louise Collin b1886; [4] Ruby Hilda Collin b1890; [5] Alan Harold Collin b1895; [6] Alma Vera Collin b1900; [7] Benjamin Charles Collin b1902 (2). Art Collin died aged 73 years on 21 Oct 1957; Charles Collin died aged 77 years on 17 Jan 1980 (1). Searching RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, there is no Arthur Collin, but there is a Frederick Arthur Collin who was born on 10 Mar 1884 in Georgetown SA to parents Benjamin Collin and Sarah Ann Crocker (4), so this must be Art Collin. Still on RootsWeb, Benjamin Charles Collin was born 15 Oct 1902 in Gawler River SA, also to parents Benjamin Collin and Sarah Ann Crocker (5), so this must be Charles Collin. On the website for the Gawler WWI Honour Roll, Roy
Gordon Collin was another son of Benjamin Collin and Sarah Ann Crocker. He was born 10 April 1898 in Gawler South. He was discharged after 3 years overseas service in Dec 1919, and died 25 June 1944 (7). He is not on the list of the 7 children above, nor on the Rootsweb site. The Roy Collin Marriage Index shows he was married in 1932 to Ivy Dingley in the Barossa District (8). There’s no mention of Ivy Dingley on the GenealogySA’s Birth Index, or on RootsWeb, so is it spelt wrongly, not officially recorded, or was she from interstate? 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/collin_benjamin,_sarah_ann_%28nee_crocker%29.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29sbGlu&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/collin_art_&_charles.jpg 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I18801 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I34789 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/collin_roy_gordon_&_ivy.jpg 7 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/c.html 817 Capt James C Combe died aged 43 years on 3 Aug 1876 (1). The James Combe search at South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms a Memorial Inscription saying James C Combe died aged 43y in 1876, and the Burial Register names him James Campbell Coombe[sic] (2). “Death: Combe. On the 3rd of August, at the residence of BE Deland, Gawler, James Campbell Combe, aged 42 years.” Bunyip, Friday 4 August 1876 p2 (3). The Town of Gawler Burial Register for Willaston Cemetery shows that James Campbell Coombe (as spelt in (2) above) aged 42 years who last resided in Gawler was buried 4/8/1876 in Plot/Grave/Niche 41 A 1, with Rev MM Whitton officiating (4). There’s good evidence that he was aged 42 years and the headstone reflects he was in his 43rd year. Accordingly, I have estimated his year of birth to be c1834. To explain his presence in Gawler: “The Late Mrs BE Deland: Another former Gawlerite passed away on Monday at her residence Ross Park, in the person of Mrs Deland, widow of the late Mr BE Deland. Mr and Mrs Deland resided here for many years, and were prominent towns-people. Mrs Deland and her husband were whole-hearted supporters of the Congregational Church, and enjoyed a large measure of esteem. The deceased lady was born in Boulogne, France, in March 1837, and was the daughter of the late Lieut Combe RN. She was a colonist of 45 years. She has left two sons (Mr EC Deland of Blyth, and CC Deland of Adelaide), and two daughters (Mrs Harold Davies and Miss FA Deland). The remains were brought to Gawler and interred in the Willaston Cemetery on Wednesday.” Bunyip, Friday 16 July 1909 p2 (5). [See also Note 220]. So the Capt James Campbell Combe was the late Mrs BE Deland’s older brother. And just to wrap it up, the ‘B Deland’ Marriage Index shows that in 1870 Benjamin Edward Deland married Jane Mary Catherine Combe in the Barossa District (6). On a Combe family website “Mostly Coombe in Australia”, James Campbell Combe’s family is described. James Campbell Combe’s father was Lieutenant Matthew Combe RN, who was born c1793, was married to Jane Manser on 9 Feb 1829 Pevensey Sussex, and died 26 Feb 1848 Calais France. The children of Matthew Combe and Jane Manser included [1] Matthew Tomlinson Combe born c1830, married on 31 Jul 1852 Adelaide SA to Louisa Courtoy born c1834, and he died 1890 Camp Hill, Forbes NSW; [2] William George Combe b1831 Hooe Sussex, married on 16 Mar 1857 Sydney NSW to Frances Teresa Davidge, b1839; [3] James Campbell Combe b1834 Hooe Sussex, d1876 Gawler SA; [4] Margaret Combe b1834 Hooe Sussex, married William Alfred Budd, she died 1875 MacLaren Vale SA; [5] Jane Mary Catherine Combe born c1836, married Benjamin Edward Deland Gawler SA, and she d1909 Adelaide SA; [6] Henry Augustus Combe born and died 1838; [7] Caroline Sophia Combe born c1840, married Richard Pavy in 1861 Myponga SA, and she died 1938; [8] Henry George Combe b1840 Dungeness Kent, was married 1867 to Eliza Dunstan (b1844 Cornwall, d1887 Crystal Brook SA), and he died 1934 Crystal Brook SA; [9] Julia Combe b1844, d1845 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/combe_capt_james_c..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q29tYmU=&g=SmFtZXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97220354?searchTerm=James%20Combe&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29584 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97726518?searchTerm=James%20Combe%20Deland&searchLimits=l-title=371 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RGVsYW5k&g=Qg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.coombe.id.au/mig_Matthew_Combe_RN.htm 818 James Commons died aged 90 years on 19 Oct 1913; his wife Uelya Commons died aged 71 years on 16 May 1899; their son James Commons died aged 74 years on 10 Feb 1937 (1). The the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says James Commons died in 1919 (2) but the date on the headstone looks more like 1913 to me. The James Commons search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows both father and son on the Burial Register, and the Memorial Inscriptions say James Commons died aged 90y in 1913; and James Commons died aged 74y in 1937 (3). To ensure James Commons Sr died in 1913, on the Town of Gawler’s website, James Commons aged 91 years who last resided in Bute was buried 21/10/1913 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 54 O 2, with Rev GK Haslam officiating (4). James Commons aged 74 years who last resided in Prospect was buried 11/02/1937 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 55 O 2, with Rev Andrews officiating (5). To find out more about this family, the LDS website has the details. James Commons was born in 1821 Cornwall, England and died on 19 Oct 1913 in Bute SA. He arrived in SA in 1856 overland from Victoria. He was a farmer who had lived in the Barossa Valley, Kangaroo Flat and Willaston. He married twice, firstly in c1845 in Cornwall to Uleya Chapman b1828 Cornwall, died 16 May 1899 Gawler Belt. Their children were [1] Mary Elizabeth Stephens nee Commons b1846, d1902; [2] John Chapman Commons b1849, died 9 Apr 1893 Bute; [3] Kitty or Hetty Chapman Brideson nee Commons b1851, died 12 May 1936 Bute; [4] Robert Chapman Commons born 25 Dec 1852 Cornwall, died 9 Aug 1941 SA; [5] Thomas Commons born 16 Jun 1857 Mudla Wirra SA, died 9 May 1897 Port Pirie; [6] James Commons b1859, died 18 Nov 1863 Mudla Wirra; [7] Ueyla Poole nee Commons born 1 Sep 1860 Mudla Wirra; [8] James Commons born 26 Jun 1862 Mudla Wirra, died 1937; [9] Richard Commons [twin] born 23 Mar 1864 Mudla Wirra, d1864; [10] William Commons [twin] born 23 Mar 1864 Mudla Wirra, d1864. James Commons was married again on 19 Sep 1900 in Gawler to a widow Sarah Thomas b1850, died 22 Jul 1910 Hyde Park SA (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/commons_james,_uelya_&_james.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q29tbW9ucw==&g=SmFtZXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32045 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33201 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I36101&tree=SouthAustralia 819 Dossie Maude Connell died aged 77 years on 19 Aug 1977; John Thomas Connell died aged 88 years on 9 July 1986 (1). The headstone names her Dossie, not Dosse as appears on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). The John Connell Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that John Thomas Connell was married in 1923 to Dossie Maude Merritt in the Wellington District (3). Searching on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that John Thomas Connell was born on 30 Jun 1898 in Navan SA to parents James Francis Connell and Annie Maria McManus (4), and Dossie Maud Merritt was born in 1902 in Mannum SA to
parents Henry Merritt and Bertha Awege (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/connell_dossie_maude_&_john_thomas.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29ubmVsbA==&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I20723 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I332501 820 Frederick Ashley Cooper died aged 75 years on 4 June 1944; his wife Ellen Cooper died aged 94 years on 12 July 1965 (1), making their years of birth 1869 and c1871 respectively. The Frederick Cooper Marriage Index shows that Frederick Ashley Cooper was married in 1901 to Ellen Shearing in the Hindmarsh District (2). The Frederick Cooper Birth Index shows that Frederick Ashley Cooper was born in 1868 to parents Ashley Edward Cooper and Harriett Farrow in the Port Gawler District (2). According to the LDS website, Frederick Ashley Cooper’s father Ashley Edward Cooper was born on 14 Mar 1827 in Stroud, Gloucestershire, England to parents Samuel Cooper (born abt 3 Nov 1801, Horsley, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England, died 7 Jan 1861 Upper Walkerville SA) and Harriet Cooper (born abt 18 May 1806 Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, died 29 Jan 1866 Nailsworth SA, who had married 7 Apr 1824 Woodchester, presumably in England. The family arrived in SA 6 Feb 1840 from England aboard the Rajasthan. Ashley Edward Cooper was a shop assistant, miner and farmer, residing in Adelaide, Walkerville, Lower Light and Queenstown. He died on 25 Aug 1911 Queenstown SA and is buried at Walkerville SA. Ashley Edward Cooper was married on 30 Jul 1865 in North Adelaide to Harriet Farrow b1841. Their children were [1] William Samuel Anthony Cooper born 5 Jan 1867 Lower Light SA, ?d1872; [2] Frederick Ashley Cooper born 13 Jul 1868 Lower Light, d1944 SA; [3] Percy Charles Cooper born 9 Sep 1876 Port Gawler; [4] Elsie Jane Gray McLennan nee Cooper born 8 Aug 1878 Lower Light (3). Still on the LDS website Frederick Ashley Cooper was born 13 Jul 1868 Lower Lights to parents already described above. His occupation is described as a liverystable keeper and he lived in Hindmarsh, dying in 1944. His wife was Ellen (Nellie) Shearing (born 4 Nov 1870 Hindmarsh to parents George Shearing and Anne Hank, and she died in 1965), whom he married on 5 Jun 1901 in Brompton SA. Their children included [1] George Ashley Cooper born 4 Nov 1902 North Croydon SA, d1970; [2] Vera Gray Cooper born 20 Mar 1904 North Croydon, died 21 Nov 1914 nr Lower Light; [3] Jack Cooper b1905; [4] Eileen Duncan nee Cooper b1907; [5] William Cooper b1909; [6] Edward Cooper b1911; [7] Arthur Cooper b1913 (4). Arthur Babe Cooper died aged 74 years on 12 May 1988; his wife Dulcie Cooper died aged 85 years on 17 Dec 1999 (5). Arthur Babe Cooper does not appear on the Arthur Cooper Marriage Index (7), nor does a bride named Dulcie, so we go to search old newspapers using Trove. . “Wedding Bells: Harper — Cooper. The Lyndoch Holy Trinity Church was the scene of a pretty wedding, on Saturday, August 5th, of Dulcie Constance Ita, only child of Mr and Mrs LG Harper, of Lyndoch, and Arthur Frederick (Babe) youngest son of Mr and Mrs FA Cooper of Gawler. .... .” Bunyip, Friday 11 August 1939 p1 (6). Now we have Dulcie’s maiden name, we can go to the website for RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people to find Arthur Frederick Cooper was born on 26 Jun 1913 in Lower Light to parents Frederick Ashley Cooper and Ellen Shearing (7), and Dulcie Constance Ita Harper was born on 23 Apr 1914 in Glenelg SA to parents Leslie George Harper and Bessie Powell (8). George Ashley Cooper died aged 68 years on 18 Nov 1970 [his birth noted above]; his wife Pearl Cooper died aged 74 years [at least that is what it appears to be behind the very movable flowers in the photo] on 9 Nov 1977 (9). George Cooper Marriage Index shows that George Ashley Cooper was married in 1930 to Annie Olive Pearl Gwynne in the Barossa District (2), who according to the RootsWeb site, was born in 1902 in Bertha SA to parents Evan Gwynne and Mary Ann Dew (11). Evan Gwynne was born on 31 Dec 1858 in Willaston to parents Robert Gwynne (b1822 Welshpool, Montgomeryshire, Wales and died 20 May 1868 Willaston) and Frances Davis (b1817, died 4 Nov 1899 Willaston). Evan Gwynne was married on 11 May 1879 in Gawler to Mary Ann Dew, who was born 24 Sep 1860 Concordia SA. Their 11 children were [1] Albert Evan Gwynne born 19 Apr 1880 Willaston; [2] Edith Matilda Gwynne born 21 Jul 1881 Willaston; [3] George William Gwynne born 28 Nov 1883 Willaston; [4] Herbert James Gwynne born 13 May 1886 Willaston; [5] Frank Robert Gwynne born 9 Aug 1888 Willaston; [6] Arthur Andrew Gwynne born 13 Mar 1890 Willaston; [7] Ruth Ivy Gwynne born 21 Sep 1892 Bertha SA; [8] Roy Thomas Gwynne born 1 Sep 1895 Willaston; [9] Percy Harrold Gwynne born 21 Jun 1898 Willaston; [10] Muriel Violet May Gwynne born 1 Sep 1900 Bertha; [11] Annie Olive Pearl Gwynne born 5 Dec 1902 Bertha (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cooper_frederick_ashley_&_ellen.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I174874&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I73226&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cooper_arthur_babe_&_dulcie.jpg 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96706294?searchTerm=Dulcie%20Cooper%20Babe&searchLimits= 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I529730 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I577241 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cooper_george_ashley_&_pearl.jpg 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I347417 11 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I45589&tree=SouthAustralia 821 Jack Douglas Cooper died aged 87 years on 31 July 1993; his wife Florence Cooper died aged 26 years on 7 Dec 1933; his second wife Delcie Mary Cooper died aged 90 years on 15 Sept 2007, Florence mother of Douglas and Delcie mother of Beth (1). The Jack Cooper Marriage Index shows that Jack Douglas Cooper was married in 1931 to Florence Edna Jean Rusby in the Port Adelaide District (2), but a second marriage for Jack after Florence died is not recorded at GenealogySA. The ‘all Cooper’ Birth Index seeking parents Jack Douglas Cooper and Florence or Delcie Mary yielded no births (3), so we’ll try a Trove search. There are no records of Delcie Cooper on GenealogySA, and Trove searches for a marriage with Jack Douglas Cooper were also fruitless. However the Savill Index for Funeral Notices in Adelaide’s Advertiser has one for Delcie Mary Cooper nee Parham on 2007-09-22 (4), so we now have her maiden name. Turning to the website of RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we find Jack Douglas Cooper was born on 3 Nov 1905 in Hindmarsh to parents Frederick Ashley Cooper (born 13 Jul 1868 in Lower Light) and Ellen Shearing (born 4 Nov 1870 in Hindmarsh, Adelaide), see Note 820 (5). Still on RootsWeb, Florence Edna Jean Rusby was born on 30 Sep 1907 in Gawler to parents John Rusby and Mary McCormick (6), and Delcie Mary Parham was born on 24 Aug 1917 in Gawler to parents Mervyn Leonard Andrew Parham and Elsie Ellen Pederick (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cooper_florence,_jack_douglas_&_delcie_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29vcGVy&g=SmFjaw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29vcGVy&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I333597

RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people has no Douglas Richard Cooper recorded (2), so he may have been born elsewhere. As he was in the right age group for the war, the World War Two Nominal Roll has the Service Record of Douglas Richard Amos Cooper who was born on 19 Aug 1922 in Adelaide, SA and was living in Renmark when he enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force on 31 Aug 1944, citing Theresa Cooper as Next of Kin. He was discharged as Leading Aircraftman Cooper on 20 May 1946 from the 14 Signals Unit (3). The Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices has one for Dick Cooper on 2001-12-18 (4), so we know he died in December 2001, but without access to records so recent, I cannot find out the actual day he died 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cooper_douglas_richard.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=131539 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=R&VeteranId=991506 4 www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html William Samuel (Bill) Cooper was born 21 Dec 1909 and died 22 March 1991, husband of Ivy, father of Bob and John (1). Ivy Beatrice Cooper was born 26 May 1913 and died 21 Aug 1989 (2). The William Cooper Marriage Index shows that William Samuel Cooper was married in 1936 to Ivy Beatrice Gertig in Gawler (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cooper_ivy_beatrice.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cooper_ivy_beatrice.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29vcGVy&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== Harold Oswald Cope died aged 69 years on 11 Aug 1982 [born c1913]; his wife Eugene Francis Cope died aged 63 years on 21 April 1985 [born c1922] (1). My immediate thought was that they were brothers, as Eugene Francis are both male names [female would usually be Eugenie Frances] but it clearly says Harold’s wife on the headstone. The Harold Cope Marriage Index does not exist but the Harold Cope Birth Index shows that Harold Oswald Cope was born in 1913 to parents Frederick Cope and Emily Rachal Hall in the Gilbert District (2). The Eugene Cope search on GenelogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices shows Eugene Francis (Jean) Cope appearing in 1985 (3). “Items of Interest: The marriage of Eugene Francis Hall, third daughter of Mr and Mrs GD Hall, Red Banks, with Harold Oswald Cope, youngest son of Mrs F Cope, Adelaide, and the late Mr F Cope (Red Banks), was celebrated on October 28 at St Peter and Paul's Church, Gawler.” The Advertiser, Friday 1 December 1944 p8 (4). So we now have her maiden name (and confirmed her other names), and we can use the RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people website to hopefully find their dates of birth. Harold Oswald Cope was born on 9 Jun 1913 in Mallala to parents Frederick Cope and Emily Rachal Hall (5). Eugene Francis Hall (female) was born on 25 May 1921 in Gawler to parents George David Hall and Lillian Mary Hill (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cope_harold_oswald_&_eugene_francis.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q29wZQ==&g=SGFyb2xk&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=Q29wZQ==&g=RXVnZW5l&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43231030?searchTerm=Harold%20Cope%20Eugene&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I530071 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I573805 Henry John Copeland died aged 78 years on 29 Jan 1961 [born c1883], husband of Emma (1). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian shows that Henry John Copeland was born on 4 Jun 1883 in Koolunga SA to parents William Copeland and Ann Flemming (2). The Henry Copeland Marriage Index shows that Henry John Copeland was married in 1924 to Emma Edith Carter in the Norwood District (3). The Emma Copeland search at South Australia Cemeteries shows that Emma Edith Copeland died aged 87 years in 1972 and is buried in The Murray Bridge Adelaide Road Cemetery (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/copeland_henry_john.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I23358 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29wZWxhbmQ=&g=SGVucnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q29wZWxhbmQ=&g=RW1tYQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== Benjamin Frederick (Fred) Copson was born 19 July 1908 and died 30 July 1958; his wife Thelma Lily Mavis Copson was born ?8th April 1909 and died 8 Feb 1999, parents of Natalie and John (1). I admit to a little help from what is written on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), as the writing on the stone is hard to read. The Benjamin Copson Marriage Index shows that Benjamin Frederick Copson was married in 1936 in Gawler to Thelma Lily Mavis Gwynne (3). The BDM website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people has no surnames Copson, so presumably he was born elsewhere, but Thelma Lily Mavis Gwynne was born 8 Apr 1909 in Gawler to parents Albert Evan Gwynne and Lily Maud Freak (4). The Copsons were from Gawler, so why no births in SA? “Copson—Gwynne. In the Church of Transfiguration, Gawler South on the evening of August 1, Thelma, younger daughter of Mr and the late Mrs AE Gwynne, of Rosewood, Gawler West, and Frederick, elder son of the late Mr and Mrs CA Copson, of Gawler, were married by the Rev HES Dyson. The service was fully choral, and the church was decorated by friends of the bride. .... .” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 3 September 1936 p58 (5). As he was of eligible age for WW2, a search at the World War Two Nominal Roll shows the Service Record Benjamin Frederick Copson who was born on 19 Jul 1908 in London, England and was living at Roseworthy, SA when he enlisted in the Australian Army on Jan 1942, citing Thelma Copson as Next of Kin. Private Copson was discharged 20 Oct 1945 from 10 Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps (6). The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he was born in 1909 (2), but it looks more like 1908 to me and his war record confirms this. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/copson_benjamin_frederick_&_thelma_lily_mavis.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q29wc29u&g=QmVuamFtaW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I572371 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92460403?searchTerm=Gwynne%20Copson&searchLimits= 6 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=727606 Henry (Harry) Coulter died aged 59 years on 25 March 1943, husband of Clara Flora Coulter (1), making his year of birth to be c1884. The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery names him Henry Harry Coulter (2), but this is incorrect, as there are brackets around ‘Harry’, a common diminutive form for Henry. To ascertain if he did have a middle name, a search on GenealogySA for the Henry Coulter Marriage Index doesn’t have him marrying a Clara Flora, but it does confirm on South Australia Cemeteries that Willaston Cemetery has a Memorial Inscription Henry (Harry) Coulter died aged 59y in 1943 (3). Death:” Coulter. On March 25. at his
residence, Murray street, Gawler, Herbert Henry, beloved husband of Clara Flora Coulter and loved father of Joyce and Sylvia, aged 59 years. A patient sufferer at rest.” The Advertiser, Friday 26 March 1943 p8 (4). Now we know that he was Herbert Henry, a search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people for Herbert Henry Coulter shows that he was born on 24 Apr 1882 in Gumeracha to parents Henry Coulter and Margaret Ellen Dwyer (5), which makes him actually 60 years old when he died. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/coulter_henry_harry.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q291bHRlcg==&g=SGVucnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48906481?searchTerm=henry%20coulter&searchLimits=l-title=44 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I25612 828 Charles Courtis died aged 80 years on 28 Nov 1923; his wife Elizabeth Martha Courtis died aged 85 years on 19 May 1925 (1), making their years of birth c1843 and c1844 respectively. The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery gives the Elizabeth Martha Courtis death as on the 19th of the 15 month 1929 (2), instead of the 5th month. On the LDS website, Charles Courtis [LDS say maybe Curtis, but family headstone says Courtis] was born c1845 in Cornwall, England, his father being George Courtis. Charles Courtis arrived in SA from England with his wife on 15 April 1866 aboard the Atalanta, his occupations miner, ploughman and fireman. He lived in Gawler, died in Gawler on 28 Nov 1923 and is buried in Willaston. He was married, prior to coming to Australia, to Elizabeth Martha Skewes b1845, who died 19 May 1929. Their children included [1] Lena (Helena) Ada Swann nee Courtis b1865, d1933; [2] Annie Potts nee Courtis born 27 Apr 1867 Uley SA; [3] Claudia Upton nee Courtis born 5 Jun 1868 Uley; [4] Charles Edward Courtis (or Curtis) born 18 Jul 1870 Barossa Diggings, died 11 Jul 1874 Gawler; [5] Mary Payne nee Courtis born 13 Jun 1872 Gawler, died 2 April 1949; [6] Edith Martha Courtis born 26 Aug 1874 Gawler; [7] Charles Edward Courtis born 1 Aug 1875 Gawler; [8] William George Courtis born 7 Mar 1878 Gawler [see Note 145]; [9] James Alfred Courtis born 13 Jul 1880 Ardrossan SA; [10] Walter Thomas Courtis born 8 May 1883 Gawler; [11] Edith Mabel Courtis born 12 Aug 1887 Gawler (3). The LDS data also tells us that William George Courtis who was born on 7 Mar 1878 in Gawler was married on 3 Apr 1912 at Willaston to Elsie May Greaves (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/courtis_charles_&_elzabeth_martha.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I173734&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F53052&tree=SouthAustralia 829 Christopher John Cox died aged 80 years on 9 June 1946; his wife Frances Letitia Cox died aged 85 years on 26 July 1957; their son Christopher Frederick Cox who died aged 28 on 23 July 1943 over Crete in WW2 is remembered also (1). Accoirding to the data on the LDS website, Christopher John Cox was born 1 Jun 1866 in Gawler, and died 9 Jun 1946 in Northfield SA. His parents Christopher Cox and Anne Hewitt were discussed in Note 157, and making Christopher John Cox a much younger brother of William Henry Cox b1849. Christopher John Cox was married on 14 Jul 1898 in Adelaide to Frances Letitia Smith b1871, died 26 Jul 1957 Gawler. Their children included [1] Cyril Hewitt Cox born 14 Mar 1899 Gawler; [2] Doris Thelma Cox born 27 Apr 1902 Gawler; [3] Living children (2). The “living” children must include Christopher Frederick Cox born c1915, who according to RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, was born 7 Mar 1915 in Gawler to parents Christopher John Cox and Frances Letitia Smith (3). RootsWeb has no record for Frances Letitia Smith (4). On the website of Ancestry.com, Frances Letitia Smith was born in 1872, and married Christopher John Cox {1866-1946}. They had 3 children and she died on 26 Jul 1957 in Gawler. The children of Frances Letitia Smith and Christopher John Cox were Frederick Ingham Cox {1870-1951} which is clearly incorrect as it precedes his “mother”’s birth, Cyril Hewitt Cox {b1899} and Christopher Frederick Cox {1915-1943} (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/cd/cox_christopher_john,_christopher_frederick_&_frances_letitia.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I29130&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I532106 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=611348 5 http://records.ancestry.com/frances_letitia_smith_records.ashx?pid=127405595 830 Christopher Cox was born 22 April 1828 St Neots Huntingdon England, and died in Gawler 3 June 1881; his wife Anne Cox died aged 73 years on 16 Nov 1902 (1). We have already seen these names as parents of Christopher John Cox [Note 829] and William Henry Cox [Note 157]. According to the LDS data, Christopher Cox was born 22 Apr 1828 St Neots, Huntingdonshire, England and died 2[sic] June 1881 Gawler. His parents were Christopher Cox and Elizabeth Palmer. Christopher Cox arrived in SA c1851 and was a painter, glazier, signwriter and publican who’d lived in Adelaide and Gawler. He was married in England to Anne Hewitt b1829 England, died 16 Nov 1902 Rose Park SA. Their children include [1] William Henry Cox born 19 Jul 1849 England, died 31 Mar 1934 SA [2] Frances Emma Skipper nee Cox b1855, died 29 Aug 1933 SA; [3] Herbert Hewitt Cox born 3 May 1856 SA, died 14 Feb 1888 Gawler; [4] Christopher John Cox born 16 Jun 1858 Gawler, died 5 May 1859 Gawler; [5] Annie Augusta Cox born 28 Feb 1860 Gawler, died 3 Jul 1899 Gawler; [6] Walter Cox born 15 May 1864 Gawler; [7] Christopher John Cox born 1 Jun 1866 Gawler, died 9 Jun 1946 Northfield SA; [8] Alfred Cox born 6 Aug 1868 Gawler, died 6 Dec 1921 SA; [9] Frederick Ingham Cox born 20 Sep 1870 Gawler, died 1951 SA (2). According to this LDS data, Herbert Hewitt Cox was actually born 3 May 1856 SA, and died 14 Feb 1888 Gawler. The date of death tallies exactly, but the headstone says Herbert Hewitt Cox was born 27 April 1856, husband of Laura EM Cox (3), although the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he was born in 1850 (4), easily confused with such blurry numbers. The few days difference in date of birth is easily accepted. Laura’s full maiden name: “Married. Cox—Dowdy. On the 14th of November, at the residence of the bride’s parents, Gawler, by the Rev P Kelly, Herbert Hewitt, second son of the late C Cox, to Laura Ethel Maud, youngest daughter of Mr Dowdy, both of Gawler.” Bunyip, Friday 24 November 1882 p2 (5). Herbert dies aged 32 years: “Deaths: Cox. On the 14th February, at Gawler, Herbert Hewitt, second son of the late Christopher Cox, and dearly beloved husband of Laura Ethel, aged 32 years. Greatly respected by all who knew him.” South Australian Register, Monday 20 February 1888 p3 (6). Laura dies but in 1889: “Cox. On the 4th April, at her residence, Blanche- street, Gawler, Laura CM, widow of the late Herbert Hewitt Cox. RlP.” Bunyip, Friday 12 April 1889 p2 (7). According to the headstone, Laura Cox died aged 25 years on 6 April 1890 (8), her headstone erected by her mother Mrs BM Dowdy. But as we have seen, she actually died on 4 April 1889, at the age of 30 yrs. According to the LDS website, Laurel Ethel May Dowdy was born in 1863 and died 4 April 1889 in Gawler, her father being William Dowdy. She was married on 14 Nov 1882 in Gawler to Herbert Hewitt Cox born 3 May 1856 SA, died 14 Feb 1888 in Gawler. Their children included [1] Harold Hewitt Cox born 9 Jan 1884 Gawler; [2] Effie Hewitt Cox born 11 Mar 1886 Gawler (9). Still on the LDS website but searching William Dowdy, we find that Laura Ethel May Doudy or Dowdy was said to have been born in 1859 to parents William Doudy or Dowdy (born in 1808, died 14 Apr 1886 Gawler) and Bridget Mary Murnane (b1823 Ireland and died 18 Feb 1907 Gawler) who were married on 15 Aug 1842 in Sydney NSW. Laura Ethel May Doudy or Dowdy was married
on 14 Nov 1882 Gawler to Herbert Cox b1857 (10), so there’s two different origins on the LDS site. According to the WikiTree website Laura Ethel Maud Dowdy was born Laura Ethel May Doudy in 1859, the daughter of William Doudy and Bridget Murnane. Her siblings included Mary Ann Cecilia Doudy, Michael Patrick Dowdy, Alice Maud Doudy, William Dowdy, Henry Alfred Doudy, Helen Theresa Doudy, George Richard Dowdy, Elizabeth Ann Dowdy, Matilda Josephine Doudy, William Herbert Hurtle Doudy, Johannah Louise Dowdy, Joseph Doudy, Matthew Francis Dowdy and Joseph James Doudy. She was married on 14 November 1882 in the residence her father in Gawler to Herbert Hewitt Cox, with whom she had 2 children [1] Harold Hewitt Cox; [2] Effie Hewitt Cox. Laura Ethel Maud Cox died in Gawler on 4 April 1889 (11), confirming the mistake on the headstone of year year of death. The final word goes to the website concerned with “The Founding Parents of the Australian [Doudy] Family”, William Doudy and Bridget Murnane who had 13 children [1] Mary Ann Kain nee Doudy (1843-1915) born Sydney NSW; [2] Michael Patrick Doudy (1845-1924) born Adelaide; [3] Alice Maude Farrelly nee Doudy (1847-1936) born Gawler River; [4] Henry Alfred Doudy (1849-1931) born Peachey Belt, Gawler River; [5] George Richard Doudy (18521910) born Gawler River; [6] Helena Theresa Von Doussa nee Doudy (1854-1928) born River Light {as are all the remaining children}; [7] Elizabeth Ann Leahy nee Doudy (1856-1938); [8] Matilda Reidy nee Doudy (1858-1903); [9] William Herbert Hurtle Doudy (1860-1879); [10] Johanna Doudy (1862-1862); [11] Laura Ethel May Cox nee Doudy (1864-1889); [12] Matthew Francis Doudy (1865-1915); [13] Joseph James Doudy 1867-1891). “......

The William Cox Marriage Index at GenraologySA shows that William Henry Cox was married in 1919 to Ethel Mary Williamson in Adelaide (2). Searching on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ethel Mary Williamson was born on 16 Apr 1895 in Erskine SA to parents Francis Williamson and Alice Jane Brooks (3), and William Henry Cox was born on 19 Jan 1889 in Coonatto [now Moockra] SA to parents William Job Cox and Annie Kennedy (4), who don’t seem closely related to the other Cox family buried here. “Cox.

The William Croft Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1899 in the Barossa District, William Croft married Florence Bessie Smith (2). There is no William Croft b1865 amongst the SA births data on RootsWeb but Florence Bessie Smith is confirmed as being born on 14 May 1874 near Willaston SA to parents Thomas Smith and Eliza Tarrant (3). William’s death: “Croft. On the 1st of August, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, William, beloved husband of Florence Croft, of Red Banks road, Willaston, loved father of John (deceased), Clarence, Dan, Violet, and Stan. Aged 71 years”, The Advertiser, Monday 2 August 1937 p12 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/croft_william_&_florence_bessie.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3JvZnQ=&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I346066 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30764297?searchTerm=croft%20william&searchLimits= 833 Elsie Ivy Cradock died on 1 Jan 1943, wife of LG Cradock (1), the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says she was 53 years old (2), but I cannot see that on the headstone, maybe you have to be there. An ‘L Cradock’ Marriage Index shows only one male Cradock marriage and that is in 1915 when Leonard George Cradock was married to Elsie Ivy Turner in the Norwood District (3). There is no Elsie Ivy nor Ivy Elsie Turner on RootsWeb WorldConnect, nor on GenealogySA’s Birth Index. “Deaths: Cradock. On Jan 1, at Tanunda, Elsie Ivy, dearly beloved wife of Leonard George Cradock and loved mother of Wilfred (overseas), Joan, Mary, and Monna, aged 53 years. At rest”, The Advertiser, 2 January 1943 p8 (4). The ‘all Cradock’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Leonard George Cradock and Elsie Ivy Turner shows the birth of four children, all in the Norwood District [1] Wilfred Louis Cradock b1916; [2] Isabel Joan Cradock b1918; [3] Mary Elizabeth Cradock b1920; [4] Monna Dorothy Cradock b1922 (5), confirming the order of the names on her death notice. But I cannot explain why Elsie Ivy Turner doesn’t show up on the various birth indexes, maybe she wasn’t born in SA or even in Australia. Or she may have first been married to a Turner, with unknown maiden name. Searching on WikiTree revealed the Elsie Ivy (Turner) Craddock[sic]'s Family Tree. She was born in 1888 in Gawler to parents Henry Augustus Turner (born 06 May 1853, died 10 Jun 1904) and Elizabeth Fidge (b1851, died 22 Sep 1916). Elsie Ivy’s siblings included Alice Elizabeth Mahoney, Henry Ernest Turner, Edith Eleanor Window, William Herbert Turner, Hilda Annie Quinn, Emmeline Dowler and Ruby Isabel Dawes (6). This means that she just wasn’t on the official indexes, at least under that name. The ‘E Turner’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows the birth in 1889 in the Port Gawler District of Eley Ivey Turner to parents Henry Turner and Elizabeth Turner (7).This fits with the father’s name of Henry, and her age at death, it is a pity that they didn’t record the mother’s maiden name. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Eley Ivey Turner was born on 27 Jan 1889 at One Tree Hill SA to parents Henry Turner and Elizabeth Turner (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cradock_elsie_ivy.jpg

There is a second memorial for Francis Coulter Craig but saying Francis Coulter Craig was born 18 Dec 1909 and died 3 Nov 1968 (which of course makes him 58 years old, not 57 as shown on the first headstone); Mary Fisher Davies Craig was born 6 Dec 1919 and died 8 June 1998 (2), making her 78 years old when she died. As the first headstone for Francis says his wife was Mary, presumably this is the Mary buried here. As the first Francis Coulter Craig headstone says he was 57 years old, I’ll leave that be, but will combine the names into a one-line entry. There is no Francis Craig Birth or Marriage Index on GenealogySA, (and nothing on rootsweb, or the WW2 Nominal Roll), but the Francis Craig Death Index shows his death in Gawler 1968, with nominated relative his widow Mary Fisher Craig (3), and the Francis Craig search on South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery confirms a Memorial Inscription for Francis Coulter (Frank) Craig who was 57y when he died in 1968 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/craig_francis_coulter.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/craig_francis_coulter_&_mary_fisher_davies.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Q3JhaWc=&g=RnJhbmNpcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Q3JhaWc=&g=RnJhbmNpcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 835 Albert James Crawford died aged 84 years on 27 July 1971; his wife Dorothy Violet Crawford died aged 78 years on 12 April 1973 (1), making their years of birth c1887 and c1895 respectively. The LDS website says that Albert James Crawford was born on 11 May 1887 at Round Hill SA. His parents were James Crawford (born 29 Jul 1856 O'Halloran Hill SA) and Jane Matson (born 12 Aug 1857 O'Halloran Hill) who had married on the 29 June 1881 also at O'Halloran Hill (2). The Albert Crawford Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Albert James Crawford was married in the Frome District in 1913 to Dorothy Violet Mills (3). The ‘all Crawford’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Albert James Crawford and Dorothy Violet Mills doesn’t show any children to this couple, I was hoping to find a Mary b1913, but alas (4). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Dorothy Violet Mills was born 23 Mar 1895 in Pinda SA to parents Joseph Mills and Johanna Augusta Bertha Leibinge (5). Still on RootsWeb, there is no birth record of a Mary T Crawford (6), so we must assume that she either was not recorded at birth in SA, or this was her married name. Mary T Crawford has a simple wooden cross with a plaque that reads she was born 14 Oct ?1913 and died 13 March ?1997 (7). The Mary Crawford searches on GenealogySA’s Birth and Death Indexes show no Mary T Crawford, and there’s nothing on the Savill Index for Advertiser Funeral Notices, but admittedly their records from 1997 may not be complete (8). So I cannot discover Mary Crawford’s middle name, nor her maiden name, if she was married. I am suspicious of her middle name not actually starting with a ‘T’, as under magnification it may be a ‘P’ or ‘R’, but this doesn’t help anyway: on RootsWeb there is no Crawford birth with a Mary in the forenames born Oct 1913. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/crawford_albert_james_&_dorothy_violet.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I246338&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3Jhd2ZvcmQ=&g=QWxiZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q3Jhd2ZvcmQ=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I215897 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=141453 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/crawford_mary_t..jpg 8 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 836 Helen Crossley died aged 74 years on 1 July 1936, wife of Amos Crossley, and as youngest daughter, is buried with her father James Sim who died aged 87 years on 5 June 1913 (1), so we know her year of birth was c1862, and her maiden name was Helen Sim. On the website of RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people there is no mention of Helen Sim (2), so she may have been born away from SA, it’s hard to misspell “Sim” but she may have not been officially registered c1862. The Helen Sim Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows she was married in 1895 to Amos Crossley in the Wellington District (3). “Marriages: Crossley—Sim. On the 23rd January, at Renmark, by the Rev S Stephens, Amos, fourth son of the late John Crossley, Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, to Helen, youngest daughter of James Sim Esq, Balmoral, Sandy Creek SA”, South Australian Register, Monday 4 March 1895 p4 (4). Her father James Sim’s “Obituary: The late Mr James Sim, who died at the residence of his son-in-law (Captain Hoffmeister) at Exeter, on Wednesday, June 8 {if Friday was the 13th, Wednesday must have been the 4th}, at the age of 87, lived in this district for a long period. The late gentleman was born in the parish of Auchterless, County of Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1826. What education he received was at the Turriff Parish School, in which parish his father had become a crofter on the estate of the Earl of Fife. Mr Sim had to walk three miles to school and back. After his tenth year he tailed cattle for the farmers in summer for 1/- per week, and went to school for four or five months in the winter, until he was able to do heavier work. The highest wages he ever got at home was £3 for six months' work. Becoming dissatisfied with the prospects before him, he cast longing eyes towards South Australia; but the question was, how to get there? Government immigration being then in vogue, he made application to the agent, was accepted, obtained a passage in the 'Poictiers,' and arrived in November 1848. He obtained work at hand-reaping barley for the late Mr John McCallum, near Gawler, father of Mr Matthew McCallum JP. Mr Sim worked for several years for the late Hon W Duffield, and during that time was married. By economy and hard work, on the part of his wife and himself, he became a freeholder in Gawler, built a cottage, and was living rent free. This was on a wage of 4/- per day of 10 hours and overtime. In 1852, the late gentleman went to Forrest Creek diggings and obtained gold enough to form a nest egg. In 1855, he started farming on land near Gawler he had previously bought at a Government land sale. The area being heavily timbered, except in a few patches, farming was uphill work, but stout hearts and willing hands accomplished much. His wife and himself plodded along steadily, bettering their positions, and raised a family of eight. Mrs Sim died about 35 years ago. Mr Sim's efforts were loyally supported by his second wife, and in 1906 they retired from the farm and removed to Henley Beach. In 1908 he was again left a widower. The late gentleman was connected with the Barossa West District Council for over 25 years, as Councillor and Chairman. He was a prominent member of the Gawler Literary Society for many years, and was finally elected a life member as an acknowledgement of his services. He was a President of the Gawler branch of the Australian National Defence League, and an adherent of the Presbyterian Church. There survive one son (Mr JM Sim, of Gawler), and daughters. The remains were brought to Gawler, and interred in the Willaston Cemetery. Bunyip, Friday 13 June 1913 p4 (5). The ‘all Sim’ Marriage Index shows James Sim was married twice, both times in Adelaide, to [1]

Kinross papers please copy” Bunyip, Friday 1 November 1907 p2 (8), making her year of birth c1826. The ‘all Sim’ Birth Index shows only one birth to father James Sim, that of Ann Sim who was born in 1851 to parents James Sim and Isabella Grant (9), so where are the other 7 children, including Helen Crossley nee Sim? The LDS website tells us all about Ann Sim who was born 19 May 1851 SA to parents James Sim b1825 and Isabella Grant b1824, who had married on 21 Mar 1850 in Gawler. Ann Sim was married on 14 Nov 1878 at Balmoral, Sandy Creek to Wilhelm Hoffmeister who was born 8 Nov 1845 Stolpe, Prussia. Their children include [1] William Julius Hoffmeister born 23 Jun 1877 Birkenhead SA, died 27 May 1901 Exeter SA; [2] Minna Pauline Hoffmeister born 14 Jun 1881 Birkenhead; [3] Caroline Isabel Hoffmeister born 26 Mar 1883 Birkenhead; [4] Annie Sim Hoffmeister born 16 Sep 1885; [5] Helen Mary Hoffmeister born 20 May 1889 Birkenhead; [6] Beatrice Elizabeth Hoffmeister born 5 Aug 1891 Birkenhead; [7] Rheinhold Hoffmeister born 21 Jun 1893 Fisherville SA, died 22 Jun 1893 Exeter (10). All this info but I cannot find Helen Crossley nee Sim’s birth details. “Crossley. On the 1st July, at her residence, Marion road, North Plympton, Helen, widow of Amos Crossley, and loving mother of Ada, Nell, and Vic, aged 74 years”, The Advertiser, Thursday 2 July 1936 p16 (11). On GenealogySA’s ‘all Crossley’ Birth Index for parents Helen Sim and Amos Crossley reveals their 3 children [1] Ada Lillian Crossley b1896 in the Renmark District; [2] Helena Sutcliffe Crossley b1897 also in the Renmark District; and [3] Victor Livingstone Crossley b1900 in the Hayhurst District (12), confirming the names in her death notice (11).

A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Henry Stanley Dawson Crouch was born on 12 Apr 1897 in nr Millbrook SA to parents Joseph Benjamin Crouch and Lucy Francis Laver (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/crouch_henry_stanley_dawson.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I230514 George Crump died aged 28 years on 10 Nov 1872, his wife Mary Crump died aged 85 years on 29 Sept 1926 (1), making their years of birth c1844 and c1841 respectively. The George Crump Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that George Crump was married in 1867 in the Barossa District to Mary Shearman (2). According to the LDS website data, George Crump was born in c1844 in Ryford, Herefordshire, England and died 10 Nov 1872 Gawler SA. His parents were Charles Crump (b1820 Ryford, died before 1886 SA) and Mrs Mary Crump. George Crump arrived in SA in 1865 aboard the Burlington. He was a blacksmith, living in Gawler. He married twice, the first time before 1865 to Annie, who was born c1842 and died 1866; he was married again on 10 Nov 1867 in Gawler to Mary Shearman, b1841 Somerset, England and died 29 Sep 1926 SA. Mary’s parents were George Shearman and Sarah Gent, and she was a dressmaker and milliner. George and Mary’s children were [1] Frances Nina Crump born 5 Jun 1868 Gawler; [2] Beatrice Helena Crump born 11 Jul 1871 (3). Mary Crump’s Death Notice: “Crump. On September 29, at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr J Forgie, King Street, Gawler, Mary, relict of George Crump, and beloved mother of Mrs J Forgie, of King Street, Gawler, and Mrs AF Cheek, of Underdale, aged 85 years”. Bunyip, Friday 2 October 1925 p4 (4). This tells us that the headstone has the correct day and month of Mary Crump’s death but is out by a year, she died in 1925, not 1926. The Mary Crump Death Index at GenealogySA confirms that she died in 1925 in the Barossa District, and the nominated relative was her late husband George Crump (5). No luck with their exact dates of birth 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/crump_george_&_mary.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q3J1bXA=&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I170829&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96633875?searchTerm=George%20Crump&searchLimits=l-title=371 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 John James Curran was born at Church Hill Sydney and died aged 59 years on 13 Aug 1930 (1), making his year of birth c1871. On the Town of Gawler website, there is no John James Curran, but there is a John Joseph Curran aged 59 years from Wasleys who was buried on the 14th Aug 1930 in Willaston Cemetery’s Plot/Grave/Niche 19 O 3, with Father Crowley officiating (2), which is too much a coincidence with the details on the headstone. To have two Curran burials, both named John, in the same cemetery with the same day, month and year, and both 59 years of age and no second headstone, is unbelievably low odds. A search on Trove reveals independent evidence as to his correct name: “Curran. On 13th August, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, John Joseph Curran, of Ridley Arms Hotel, Wasleys, and fourth son of the late Thomas Curran, Temple Cross, Sydney, aged 59 years. RIP.” The Advertiser, Thursday 14 August 1930 p8 (3). And now we learn that they were both from Sydney with a “churchy” sounding connection [Church Hill and Temple Cross], and both coincidentally had moved to SA and buried at Gawler? I don’t think so. It must be a mistake on the headstone. But he being Sydney born, my usual SA sources cannot tell me his actual date of birth and there’s nothing on Google. I’m not familiar with neither Church Hill nor Temple Cross in Sydney 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/curran_john_james.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32962 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30501525?searchTerm=john%20joseph%20curran&searchLimits= Jessie Dorrell Currie was born on 29 Dec 1906 and died 9 Nov 1971, her husband Roy Currie was born 30 May 1909 and died 4 July 1992, parents of Jean, Elaine and Glenise (1), making the parents ages 64 and 83 years respectively. We have found Roy Percy Currie’s date of birth [30 May 1909] in Note 178. There is no GenealogySA Marriage Index for Roy Currie, but by searching old newspapers using Trove, we find: “Marriage: Currie—Hemmings. In the Kensington Park Methodist Church, Jessie Dorrell, fourth surviving daughter of Mr and the

late Mrs Thos Hemmings, of Kalangadoo, and Roy P, youngest son of Mr and Mrs Charles Currie, of Wasleys, were married by the Rev AI Brown. .... .” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 17 February 1938 p58 (2). Thus we find Jessie Dorrell Currie’s maiden name. To confirm the correctness of our gleanings, we can use RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people to show that Jessie Dorrell Hemmings was born on 29 Dec 1906 in Kalangadoo SA to parents Thomas Hemmings and Susan Anderson (3). The date of birth on the headstone is an exact match for the SA BDM records at RootsWeb. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/currie_jessie_dorrell_&_roy.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92473181?searchTerm=Roy%20Currie%20Jessie&searchLimits= 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I424682 Clifford Rolston Currie died aged 81 years on 1 June 1987; his wife Ruth Currie died also aged 81 years on 4 May 2002, parents of Aileen, Pam, Beth and Ian (1). We have learned Clifford Rolston Currie’s date of birth already [see Note 178] which was 16 Sept 1905, and Ruth Currie’s deduced year of birth is c1921. There is no Clifford Currie Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so we must go elsewhere to find her maiden name. The Savill Index for Funeral Notices in the Advertiser has Ruth Holman Currie on 7 May 2002 (2). A 1941 Engagement Notice reads: “Harris— Currie. The engagement is announced of Beryl H, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs RO Harris, of Smithfield, to Clifford R, second son of Mr and Mrs C Currie, of 'Bonnie View’, Wasleys.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 14 August 1941 p18 (3). But this doesn’t work out (maybe a casualty of the war) because in 1945 this notice appears: “Approaching Marriages: Pope—Currie. The marriage of Ruth H, daughter of Mr and Mrs CT Pope, Gawler Belt, Willaston, to Clifford R, son of Mr and Mrs C Currie, Wasleys will be solemnised at Tod Street Methodist Church, Gawler, on Jan 27 at 7 pm” in the Advertiser, Tuesday 23 January 1945 p8 (4). Now we know her maiden name, a search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ruth Holman Pope was born 10 Nov 1920 in Gawler Belt SA to parents Christopher Temby Pope and Elsie Jane Hayman (5). The birth of their daughter Aileen Mary: “Currie. On January 24, at Hamley Bridge Memorial Hospital, to Ruth and Cliff— a daughter (Aileen Mary). Thanking Dr Hancock, Matron Menzel and Sister Paris” - The Advertiser, Friday 27 January 1950 p22 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/currie_clifford_rolston_&_ruth.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92413770?searchTerm=Clifford%20Currie%20Wasleys&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43238096?searchTerm=Ruth%20Currie%20Gawler%20Methodist&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I627970 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/50214863?searchTerm=Ruth%20Cliff%20Currie&searchLimits= I Daniele was born in Italy on 22 Jan 1899 and died on a date hidden yet again by a floral tribute that could have been moved. M Daniele was born 21 Feb 1897 also in Italy, and died on 9 Feb 1979 (1). The ‘I Daniele’ Newspaper Death Notices at GenealogySA tells us that there was a Death Notice in the 1978 Advertiser for Ilario (Marinisi) Daniele (2). On the Saville Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser Newspaper, Ilario Daniele was buried 10 April 1978, so we can reasonably assume that Ilario (presumably male with the Chrisdtian name ending in an “o” died in April 1978. The Savill Index also has a Funeral Notice for Maria Daniele on the 10th Feb 1979, which clearly refers to the M Daniele who died on the 9th Feb 1979. Nicola Daniele appears on the Savill Index on 19 Aug 1995 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/daniele_i_&_m.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html Ida Cutler Rix ?Penton died aged 54 years on 9 Jan 1940, wife of ?Penton Rix or ?Rix Penton who died aged 49 years on 5 Jan 1936 (1). This is quite a confusing headstone but it implies that Ida C Rix is the Ida Cutler noted on the “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), but it is likely that Cutler was a middle name not a surname. GenealogySA has no results for Ida Cutler, but when you look for Ida Rix, the South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has on the Burial Register Ida Cutler Rix with her Memorial Inscription Ida Cutler Rix died aged 54y in 1940 (3). The Ida Rix Death Index on GenealogySA shows that when Ida Cutler Rix died in Gawler in 1940, her nominated relative was her pre-deceased husband Penton Rix (4). So she shoud be on the “R” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery under the surname ‘Rix’, to be with her husband Penton Rix [he’s there under ‘Rix’ already]. The Penton Rix Marriage Index shows that in 1914, Penton Rix married Ida Cutler Finch in Adelaide (5). Now we have both birth names, we can turn to RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people to show that Penton Rix was born on 10 Mar 1886 in Bayswater (now Rosewater), Adelaide to parents Edward Thomas Rix and Amelia Garnautt (6), and Ida Cutler Finch was born on 27 Feb 1885 in Port Adelaide to parents John Joshua Finch and Eliza Annie Brooks (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cutler_ida.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Uml4&g=SWRh&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=Uml4&g=SWRh&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Uml4&g=UGVudG9u&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I206731 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I725554 AE (Ted) Dahlitz (1875-1955); his wife AI (Ida) Dahlitz (1899-1971) (1). According to the LDS website, his father Christian Dahlitz was born on 3 Dec 1825 in Werben, Saxony, Germany and died on 20 Aug 1905 nr Roseworthy SA. He arrived in SA in 1855 aboard the Australia, and was a farmer who’d lived in the Lyndoch Valley, and at Roseworthy. Christian Dahlitz was married on 27 Aug 1857 at Hoffnungsthal SA to Anna Elizabeth Menzel who was born 28 Sep 1839 in Nekla-Hauland, Posen, Prussia, and died 21 Jul 1925 in Gawler. Her parents were Christian Menzel and Maria Dorothea Richter. The children of Christian and Anna Elizabeth Dahlitz were [1] Friedrich Wilhelm Dahlitz born 12 Oct 1858 Hoffnungsthal SA, died 1938; [2] Carl August Dahlitz born 26 Jan 1861 Hoffnungsthal, died 1947; [3] Johann Heinrich Dahlitz born 3 Nov 1863 Hoffnungsthal, died 1937; [4] Maria Ernestina Lucas nee Dahlitz born 16 Jun 1866 Lyndoch Valley, died 1936; [5] Anna Augusta Dahlitz born 15 Jul 1868 Hoffnungsthal, died 2 Oct 1902 Roseworthy; [6] Ferdinand Paul Dahlitz born 20 Feb 1870 Hoffnungsthal, died 1951; [7] Ludwig Christian Dahlitz born 21 Jul 1872 nr Lyndoch Valley, died 1963; [8] Albert Edward Dahlitz born 29 Jul 1875 nr Roseworthy, died 1955; [9] Emma (Polly) Elizabeth Dahlitz born 27 Jan 1880 Roseworthy, died 31 Jul 1912 Adelaide; [10] Rudolph Dahlitz born 12 Aug 1882 Roseworthy, died 1963 (2). Still on the LDS, some further information about the family of Christian Dahlitz and Anna Elizabeth Menzel: [1] Friedrich Wilhelm Dahlitz was married on 10 Apr 1885 in the Lyndoch Valley to Emma Paulina Noske; [2] Carl August Dahlitz was married on 27 Sep 1888 in Victoria to Auguste Menzel [3] Johann Heinrich Dahlitz was married on 9 Feb 1893 at Freeling to Emma Alvina Semmler; [4] Maria Ernestina Dahlitz was married on 7 Jul 1892 in Lyndoch to Friedrich William Lucas; [6] Ferdinand Paul Dahlitz was married on 7 Jul 1892 on 28 Sep 1899 in Lyndoch to Anna Sophia Klauber ; [7] Ludwig Christian
Dahlitz was married on 1 Jun 1910 in West Adelaide to Matilda Holmes; [8] Albert Edward Dahlitz was married on 21 Jul 1914 at Roseworthy to Mary Sophia Dingle (3). Albert Edward Dahlitz must have married twice to have a wife called Mary Sophia nee Dingle and another AI (Ida) Dahlitz. In fact, the Albert Dahlitz Marriage Index on GenealogySA showed two marriages for Albert Edward Dahlitz [1] In 1914 he married Mary Sophia Dingle and [2] in 1925 he married Adeline Ida Krieg, both weddings occurring in the Barossa District (4). It is noted on the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery that Mary Sophia Dahlitz died aged 39 years on 22 Sept 1918 (5), so both wives are buried in Willaston Cemetery. The RootsWeb site tells us that Adeline Ida Krieg was born on 4 Nov 1899 at Gawler River to parents Theodor Edward Krieg and Caroline Hulda Koch (6). The dates of death are harder to find. The Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser has one for Adeline Ida Dahlitz on 31 May 1971 (7), so she died in May 1971, but 1955 is too early for the Savill Index, but too late for Trove newspaper searching. However the Town of Gawler Burial Register for Willaston Cemetery says that Albert Edward Dahlitz aged 80 years who last resided in Gawler South was buried 6/11/1955 in Plot/Grave/Niche 4 M 4, with Rev AR Broadbent officiating (8), so he most likely died early in Nov 1955. On a “Lehmann Hanschke” website, there is a Person Sheet for Albert Edward Dahlitz, who was a farmer, born on 2 Jul 1875 near Roseworthy SA to parents Christian Dahlitz (1825-1905) and Anna Elisabeth Menzel (1839-1925). His first wife was Mary Sophia Dingle whom he married on 21 Jul 1914 at Roseworthy. They had a daughter Lilian Vera (b1915). Anna Elisabeth died in 1917 and is buried at Willaston Cemetery. Albert Edward Dahlitz’s second wife was Adeline Ida Krieg whom he married on 22 Apr 1925 in Gawler River. Adeline Ida Krieg was born on 4 Nov 1899 Gawler River to parents Theodore Eduard Krieg (1873-1952) and Caroline Hulda Koch (1874-1925) and she died aged 71 yrs on 28 May 1971. Albert Edward Dahlitz died aged 80 yrs on 4 Nov 1955 and is also buried Willaston Cemetery (9). Unfortunately there is conflicting birth dates for Albert Edward Dahlitz, with the LDS site saying 29 July 1875 and on the “Lehmann Hanschke” website saying the 2nd July 1875. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Albert Edward Dahlitz was born on 29 Jul 1875 nr Roseworthy SA to parents Christian Dalitz[sic] and Anna Elizabeth Menzel. He died on 4 Nov 1955 in Gawler (10). The LDS site no doubt takes its info from the SA Births data so which to choose? 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dahlitz_a.e._%28ted%29_&_a.i.__%28ida%29.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I99448&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F26520&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RGFobGl0eg==&g=QWxiZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I68740 7 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33822 9 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS15/PS15_061.HTM 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I561949 845 Johann Heinrich Dahlitz died aged 74 years on 26 Nov 1932, his wife Emma Elwina Dahlitz died aged 74 years on 25 Feb 1943 (1), making their years of birth c1858 and c1869 respectively. With the children of Christian Dahlitz discussed already in Note 844, we found that Johann Heinrich Dahlitz’s birthday was 3 Nov 1863, and not the calculated year of c1858, so even the LDS birthdate is wrong, or the headstone is wrong either with his year of birth ar age at death. The Johann Dahlitz Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Johann Heinrich Dalitz[sic] was born in 1863 to parents Christian Dalitz and Elizabeth Menzel in the Barossa District (2), confirming the LDS data. But the Johann Dahlitz Death Index shows that Johann Heinrich Dahlitz died in 1937 in the Norwood District (3), not the 1932 shown on the headstone, although on closer inspection, it may say 1937 but has been ‘doctored’ a little by persons unknown, either way, the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery should say he died 26 Nov 1937, not 1932 (4). To prove the point: “Dahlitz. On the 26th of November, at Adelaide, Johann Heinrich, the beloved husband ol Emma Elwina Dahiitz, of 36 Cowan street, Gawler, aged 75 years. At rest.“ Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 2 December 1937 p26 (5). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Emma Alvina Semmler was born on 4 Apr 1868 in Lyndoch Valley to parents Ludwig Semmler and Ernstina Klauber. Further information is offered on this site: Johann Heinriech Dahlitz, aged 29, born c1864, single, father was Christian Dahlitz, and Emma Alwine Semmler aged 25, born c1868, single, father was Ludwig Semmler, were married at St Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church, Freeling on the 9 Feb 1893 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dahlitz_johann_heinrich_&_emma_elwina.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RGFobGl0eg==&g=Sm9oYW5u&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=RGFobGl0eg==&g=Sm9oYW5u&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92477735?searchTerm=Johann%20Heinrich%20Dahlitz&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I332863 846 Christian Dahlitz died aged 91 years on 20 Sept 1963, his wife Matilda Dahlitz died aged 79 years on 15 May 1965 (1), so their years of birth were c1872 and c1886. We have seen in Note 844 that Ludwig Christian Dahlitz (born 21 July 1872) was married to Matilda Holmes. A search on RootsWeb shows that Matilda Holmes was born on 12 Jan 1886 in Williamstown SA to parents Arthur Holmes and Wilmot Smith. Further information shows that Matilda Dahlitz nee Holmes died aged 79 years on 15 May 1965 in Gawler. The details of the marriage between Ludwig Christian Dahlitz aged 37, born c1873, single, father was Christian Dahlitz, and Matilda Holmes aged 24, born c1886, single, father was Arthur Holmes, was held at St James Church West Adelaide on 1 June 1910. The children of Christian and Matilda Dahlitz, all born at Rosworthy, were [1] Dorothea Ella Dahlitz born 19 Mar 1911; [2] Laurel Doreen Dahlitz born 1 Mar 1912; [3] Clarice May Dahlitz born 29 Aug 1913; [4] Leonard Ronald Dahlitz born 30 Jan 1916; [5] Arnold Walter John Dahlitz born 31 Jul 1919; [6] Hedley Lance Dahlitz born 12 Oct 1922 (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dahlitz_christian_&_matilda.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I32867 847 Rudolph Adolph Dahlitz died aged 81 years on 15 Oct 1963, his wife Gertrude Dahlitz died aged 79 years on 2 Jan 1969 (1), making their years of birth c1882 and c1890 respectively. The Rudolph Dahlitz Marriage Index shows that Rudolph Adolph Dahlitz was married in 1918 to Gertrude Holmes in the Barossa District (2). The search on RootsWeb shows that Rudolph Adolph Dahlitz was born 12 Aug 1882 at Roseworthy SA to parents Christian Dahlitz and Anna Elizabeth Manzal. He died aged 81 years on 15 Oct 1963 in Macclesfield SA. Still on RootsWeb, Gertrude Holmes was born 25 Feb 1889 in Williamstown SA to parents Arthur Holmes and Willmot Smith (4), making Gertrude a sister of the Matilda dahlitz nee Holmes in Note 847. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dahlitz_rudolph_adolph_&_gertrude.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RGFobGl0eg==&g=UnVkb2xwaA==&c=&y=&r=MA==

The Ludwig Dahlitz Marriage Index shows that Ludwig Daniel Dahlitz was married in 1919 to Alma Pauline Stoll in the Barossa District (2). According to the RootsWeb information, Ludwig Daniel Dahlitz was born 22 Nov 1893 in Kangaroo Flat SA to parents Johann Heinrich Dahlitz {born 3 Nov 1863} and Emma Alwine Zemna {aka Emma Alvina Semmler who was born 4 April 1868}. Ludwig Daniel Dahlitz died aged 67 years on 19 Jan 1961 in Gawler (3).

Their years of birth would be c1897 and c1891 respectively. The Herbert Dahlitz Marriage Index shows that Herbert Alfred Dahlitz was married in 1921 in the Angaston District to Mary Elizabeth Waters (2). Using the RootsWeb data, Mary Elizabeth Waters was born 6 May 1897 in Tanunda Creek SA to parents William Waters and Adelaide Fidge (3). Still using RootsWeb data, Herbert Alfred Dahlitz was born 7 Jun 1890 in Roseworthy to parents Frederick William Dahlitz and Emma Paulia Nocke (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dahlitz_mary_elizabeth_&_herbert_alfred.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RGFobGl0eg==&g=SGVyYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I412609 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I426580 Wilhelm Otto Paul Dahlitz died aged 8 months on 31 Jan 1905 (1). According to the RootsWeb data, Wilhelm Otto Paul Dahlitz was born 22 May 1904 in Roseworthy to parents Ferdinand Paul Dahlitz and Anna Sophia Klauber, and he died 31 Jan 1905 nr Roseworthy. These parents were mentioned in Note 844. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dahlitz_wilhelm_otto_paul.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I492655 Lawrence Arthur Dahlitz was born 14 Oct 1922 and died 21 Nov 2005, husband of Auriel Irma Dahlitz (1), he was 83 years old when he died. On the website of RootsWeb, Lawrence Arthur Dahlitz was born 14 Oct 1922 in Gawler to parents Ludwig Daniel Dahlitz and Alma Pauline Stoll (2), whom we discussed in Note 848. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dahlitz_lawrence_arthur_%28lawrie%29.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I483442 Susanne Dale died aged 26 years, Allyson Kay died aged 8 years (1). This is all the information given on this pair of white wooden crosses. The D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Allyson Kay is surnamed Dale (2), but there’s nothing visible to indicate this. In fact, Dale may be Susanne’s middle name and we cannot be sure that either Dale or Kay is the surname. There is no mention of either on GenealogySA, and on RootsWeb and must be too recent for Trove searching. There’s no mention of a relevant Dale or Kay on the Savill Index of Funeral Notices that appear in the Advertiser, so I must await further clarification 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dale_susanne_&_allyson_kay.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm James Daly died aged 79 yrs on 15 Sept 1905; his wife Mary Daly died aged 80 yrs on 15 Jan 1916; John Daly died aged 77 yrs on 12 May 1871; Julia Daly died aged 77 yrs on 31 Aug 1879; Nora Daly died aged 22 yrs on 25 April 1892; Thomas Daly died aged 64 yrs on 11 Sept 1903; as well as Bridget Clancy who died aged 40 yrs on 5 March 1899; Cathleen Carter (daughter of James and Mary Daly) died aged 38 yrs on 31 July 1910 all share this headstone (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Nora Daly died in in 1893 (2), but it seems to be 1892 to me. The Nora Daly search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription saying that Norah[sic] Daly was aged 22 yrs when she died in 1892 (3). The Willaston Cemetery Burial Register on the Gawler Council website confirms that John Daly aged 77 years who last resided in Willaston was buried 13/5/1871 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 55 G 3, with Rev CA Reynolds officiating (4), meaning that he was born c1794. James Daly aged 80 years who last resided in Willaston was buried 17/09/1905 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 39 C 3, with Father O'Neill officiating (5), meaning he was born c1826. Mary Daly who last resided at Kangaroo Flat was buried 18/01/1916 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 39 C 3, with Father McEvoy officiating (6), which she shares with the James Daly above. Nora Daly is a mystery, and it may be her married name. On the ’all Daly’ Death Index, we find a Honora Marion Daly who died in 1892 in the Barossa District, with nominated relative her father James Daly (7). “Daly. On the 25th April, at her parents' residence, Kangaroo Flat, near Gawler, Honora Marion, the fifth and dearly beloved daughter of James and Mary Daly, aged 23 years. Deeply regretted by a large circle of friends, whose kindness the family gratefully and thankfully recognise. RIP.” South Australian Chronicle, Saturday 7 May 1892 p4 (8). There can be no doubt that Honora Marion Daly is Nora Daly, as the date of death matches as do family members. On the Gawler Council website, Honora Daly aged 23 years from Kangaroo Flat was buried 27/4/1892 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 38 C 3, with Rev Father Carr officiating (9). On a Google search, I found that Honora Marion Daly (father James Daly b1826 and mother Maria {Mary} Grady b1836 was born at Kangaroo Flat on 16 Jan 1868, baptised in Gawler 9 Feb 1868, and died unmarried 25 April 1892 (10), meaning that she was actually 24 years old 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/daly_james,_mary,_john,_julia,_nora_&_thomas.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=RGFseQ==&g=Tm9yYQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29231 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31447 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32172 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=RGFseQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92290768?searchTerm=honora%20marion%20daly&searchLimits= 9 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30694 10 http://users.sa.chariot.net.au/~kimber/KimMine/_daly2.htm John Daly died aged 75 yrs on 7 Nov 1932; his wife Mary Daly died aged 79 yrs on 21 June 1944 (1), so their years of birth were c1857 and c1865 respectively. Mrs Daly dies: “Deaths: Daly. On June 21, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs W Osborn, 25 Arthur street,
South Plympton, Mary Elizabeth, beloved wife of the late John Daly, of Roseworthy College aged 79 years. RIP.” News (Adelaide) Thursday 22 June 1944 p4 (2). The John Daly Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that John Joseph Daly was married in 1891 to Mary Elizabeth Atkins in the Barossa District (3). To confirm all their names: Marriages: “Daly-Atkins.—On the 7th February at St Peter and St Paul's Church, Gawler, by the Rev Father Carr, John Joseph, eldest son of James Daly, Kangaroo Flat, Roseworthy, to Mary Elizabeth, eldest daughter of William Atkins, Nuriootpa, Angas Park.” The Advertiser, Friday 20 February 1891 p4 (4). John Joseph’s parents: James Daly was born c1826 in Offaly, Kings County, Ireland. He migrated to SA from Liverpool UK aboard the Nuggett, arriving in Adelaide13 Jul 1854. He died 15 Sep 1905 Kangaroo Flat, and is buried in Willaston. Also on the Nuggett was Maria (Mary) Grady who was born c1836 in County Clare, Limerick, Ireland. About six months after they arrived, James Daly and Mary Grady were married 3 Dec 1854 in the Catholic Church, Salisbury. Mary Daly nee Grady died 15 Jan 1916 Nuriootpa SA, and is also buried at Willaston. Their children were [1] Bridget Daly born 12 Nov 1855 Little Para SA, was baptised 25 Nov 1855 (sponsors were Joun[sic] and Catherine Shanahan). She married Christopher Clancy who was born c1856 in Ireland and had arrived in 1876 aboard the Hesperides.

My calculations say John Wilfred Daly’s year of birth was c1897, and Veronica Daly’s c1904. The John Daly Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that John Wilfred Daly was married in 1923 to Veronica Wasley in the Barossa District (2). Mavis Gertrude Daly died aged 80 years on 8 April 1997, wife of Ronald John Daly, mother of Lawrence and Rosalie (3), which means her year of birth was c1917. The Ronald Daly Birth Index shows that Ronald John Daly was born in 1924 to parents John Wilfred Daly and Veronica Wasley in the Barossa District (4), but GenealogySA has no record of his marriage to Mavis Gertrude Daly nee ??. Searching on the World War Two Nominal Roll for the Service Record of Ronald John Daly, we find he was born 23 Dec 1924 in Gawler and was living at Roseworthy when he enlisted 13 Apr 1943 in the Australian Army at Wayville SA. His next of kin was John Daly ?father, and he was discharged on 22 Aug 1946, with the rank of Private from the 2/14 Australian Infantry Battalion (5). Presumably he was married after the war, as Mavis was not given as his next of kin. Trove searching hasn’t shown his marriage announcement, so I cannot find Mavis Gertrude Daly maiden name. A search, using RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, shows no birth records for John Wilfred Daly, which has been my experience with most of my Daly searches, presumably some of the family didn’t register births very often! However, the RootsWeb site has records for Veronica Wasley, who was born on 9 Jun 1904 in Gawler to parents James Wasley (born 17 May 1870 Gawler) and Margaret (Maggie) Mahoney (born c1868) (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/daly_john_wilfred_&_veronica.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RGFseQ==&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/daly_mavis_gertrude.jpg 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RGFseQ==&g=Um9uYWxk&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=682578 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I268842 856 Juanita Lydia Eileen Daly died aged 78 yrs on 1 Oct 1972, wife of William Henry Daly who died aged 95 yrs on 27 July 1991, parents of Clive (1). Their years of birth would be c1894 and c1896 respectively. The William Daly Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that William Henry Daly was married in 1919 to Juanita Lydia Eileen Gower in the Talunga District (2). A search, using RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, shows that William Henry Daly was born on 12 Mar 1896 in Williamstown SA to parents John DALY and Ellen Bertha Kemp (3). Still using RootsWeb, Juanita Lydia Eileen Gower was born on 2 Nov 1893 also in Williamstown to parents Albert Ernest Gower and Sarah Ann Patterson (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/daly_juanita_lydia_eileen_&_william_henry.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RGFseQ==&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I461425 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I2171 857 Laurence Roy Daly died aged 6 years on 2 Dec 1907 (1), making his year of birth c1901. There are no other clues as to his parents or other family. A search on the Town of Gawler website shows that Laurence Roy Daly aged 6 years who last resided at Kangaroo Flat was buried 3/12/1907 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 42 D 3, with Father O'Neill officiating (2). There are no birth records of Laurence Roy Daly on GenealogySA nor on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, so I cannot ascertain his date of birth, or even who his parents were. I cannot find a newspaper birth notice either. The ‘all Daly’ Death Index for 1907 has no Laurence or Lawrence Roy Daly, but there is a Clarence Roy Daly who died in 1907 in the Barossa District with a father named John Daly (3). I feel that as Clarence is
not mentioned anywhere else, this is probably a typographical error and should be Laurence, not Clarence. Either way however, it doesn’t help find his date of birth. On the RootsWeb site, there was a Henry Roy Daly born on 3 Apr 1901 in Adelaide to a mother Dora Daily and father not recorded (4). This certainly fits our calculated year of birth but it may be only coincidence. Maybe he was a child ‘of passion’ and being looked after by John Daly? John Daly and Ellen Bertha Kemp were the parents of William Henry Daly [Note 856], so did they have son called Laurence Roy? It seems not, as the ‘all Daly’ Birth Index seeking parents John Daly and Ellen Bertha Kemp shows 4 births [1] John Charles Daly b1894; [2] William Henry Daly b1896; [3] George Thomas Daly b1899; [4] Emma Margaret Daly b1901 (5). Unless Laurence Roy was a twin to Emma, it is unlikely [but not impossible] they could both be born in 1901. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/daly_laurence_roy.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=316893 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=RGFseQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I266909 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RGFseQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 858 Miriam Edith Dance died aged 44 yrs on 16 July 1923; wife of Frank Dance who died aged 73 yrs and 11 months on 8 Feb 1938 (1), making their years of birth c1879 and c1864 respectively. Using the LDS website, Frank Dance was born in 1864 and was married on 21 Jun 1897 in Kapunda to Miriam Edith Hughes (2). Still using LDS data, Miriam Edith Hughes was born 16 Jun 1879 in Kapunda to parents William Hughes and Sarah Thomas (3). On a separate headstone, their children Gladys Dance died aged 23 yrs on 12 Aug 1929; and Jessie Dance died aged 19 yrs on 1 June 1930 (4), making their years of birth c1906 and c1911 respectively. The wedding of parents: “Dance— Hughes. On 21st June, at Kapunda, by the Rev JR Williams, Baptist Minister, Frank, youngest son of Stephen Dance, of London, to Miriam Edith, fourth daughter of William Hughes, of Kapunda.” The Advertiser, Thursday 1 July 1897 p4 (5). The Gladys Dance Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Gladys Muriel Dance died in the Barossa District in 1929 (6). A search, using RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, shows that Frank Dance, Gladys Dance and Jessie Dance have no SA birth records, nor are there any on GenealogySA. Frank Dance may have been born in the UK, as his father was in London, maybe the children were also born elsewhere. Searching for Frank and Miriam Edith Dance on a general ‘Google’ leads to a website “yuku.com” which helps with Australian Surname Genealogy Lookups for SA. Someone was researching “Frank Dance Grawler[sic] SA” reveals the following information. Frank Dance aged 73 yrs who last resided in Torrensville was buried on 9 Feb 1938 in Willaston Cemetery’s re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 3 F 2, with Rev Asser officiating. Gladys Muriel Dance aged 23 yrs who last resided in Gawler West was buried on 14 Aug 1929 in Willaston Cemetery’s Plot/Grave/Niche 33 F 4, with Rev Chamberlain officiating. Jessica Edith Dance aged 19 yrs whose last residence was in Gawler West was buried on 2/06/1930 in Willaston Cemetery’s re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 33 F 4, also with Rev Chamberlain officiating. It seems that this Dance family spent the years at least between 1900 and 1928 living in Broken Hill NSW, explaining why the children do not appear on the SA Births data (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dance_miriam_edith_&_frank.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I284713&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F85946&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dance_gladys_&_jessie.jpg 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35083374?searchTerm=dance%20hughes&searchLimits= 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=RGFuY2U=&g=R2xhZHlz&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://australiansurnamesgroup.yuku.com/topic/1112/Frank-Dance-Grawler-SA#.VAsETqMWPbg 859 Winnifred Darragh died aged 77 yrs on 2 Sept 1978 (1), making her year of birth c1901. There’s nothing to go on with her headstone, no relations are mentioned. When searching Trove hoping to find a marriage and hence a maiden name, I came across “Death: Darragh. In loving memory of brother Richard William, passed away January 1, 1948. Sadly missed. Rest in peace. lnserted by sister Winnie.“ The Advertiser, Saturday 1 January 1949 p10 (2). The Richard Darragh Death Index confirms that Richard William Darragh died in 1947 in the Mount Barker District (3). On the Northern Areas Council website, Richard William Darragh aged 67 years who last resided in Mt Barker and died of an unknown cause was buried 02 Jan 1948 in Section G H, Plot/Grave/Niche 22 of Jamestown Cemetery, with Fr Prendergast officiating (4), making his year of birth c1881. The Richard Darragh Birth Index shows that Richard William Derregh[sic] was born in 1880 to parents George Derregh[sic] and Julia Ward in the Clare District (5). Now we have the parents of Richard William Darragh, and hence sister Winnie’s also, applying an ‘all Darragh’ Birth Index seeking parents George Darragh and Julia Ward, we find eight children were born all to Julia Ward with father George Darragh {x5}, George Darregh {x1}, George Derregh {x1} and John Darragh {x1}, all born in the Clare District: [1] Richard William Derregh[sic] b1880; [2] George Henry Darregh[sic] b1881; [3] Mary Ann Darragh b1883 [father John Darragh]; [4] James John Darragh b1885; [5] Patrick Michael Darragh b1891; [6] Elizabeth Darragh b1894; [7] Thomas Alouyious Darragh b1895; [8] Winifred Gertrude Darragh b1900 (6). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Winifred Gertrude Darragh was born on 16 Nov 1900 in Jamestown SA to parents George Darragh and Julia Ward (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/darragh_winnifred.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43798068?searchTerm=Winnie%20Darragh&searchLimits=l-state=South+Australia 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=RGFycmFnaA==&g=UmljaGFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.nacouncil.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=2991 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RGFycmFnaA==&g=UmljaGFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RGFycmFnaA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I482413 860 James Davey died aged 77 years on 15 March 1886, his wife Phillipa Davey died aged 85 years on 24 March 1896; their daughter Jane James nee Davey and her husband William James share the headstone (1). James Davey was born c1809, and Phillipa Davey was born c1811. According to the LDS website, James Davey was born on 4 Jul 1809 in St Anns, Cornwall, England, and died on 15 Mar 1886 in Gawler. He had arrived in SA in 1848, and was a blacksmith who lived in Burra, then Gawler. He was married on 21 Mar 1833 in Cornwall to Phillipa Harris who was born 20 Feb 1811 Cornwall, England and died 24 Mar 1896 Gawler. Their children included [1] William Henry Davey b1834 Cornwall; [2] Samuel Davey b1835 Cornwall; [3] Julianna Davey b1836 Cornwall; [4] Jane Davey born c1838 Cornwall, died aged 6 years c1844 Cornwall; [5] Catherine Davey b1839; [6] Elizabeth Buckerfield nee Davey born 21 Jan 1842 Cornwall, d1932 SA; [7] James Davey b1845 Cornwall, died after 1904; [8] Thomas Davey born c1847 Cornwall, died aged 6 months c1847 Cornwall; [9] Jane Davey b1850; [10] Thomas Davey born 22 Jun 1852 SA; [11] William James Davey b1853, d1922 SA; [12] Almond Hocking Davey born 13 Jul 1854 SA, died 8 Feb 1864 Gawler (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davey_james_&_philippa.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I126452&tree=SouthAustralia
861 Edna Hazel Davids died aged 72 years on 6 May 1985; her husband Walter Clifton Davids died aged 85 years on 12 Sept 1996, parents of Pauline and Max (1). My calculations are that Edna Hazel Davids was born c1913, and Walter Clifton Davids c1911. The Walter Davids Marriage Index shows that Walter Clifton Davids was married in 1937 to Edna Hazel Hoare in Adelaide (2). The Walter Davids Birth Index shows that Walter Clifton Davids was born in 1911 to parents Wilhelm Edmund Emile Davids and Florence Schmidt in the Talunga District (3). The Walter Davids search at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices shows three notices in the 1996 Advertiser for Walter Clifton (Wally) Davids (4). There is no Edna Hazel Hoare Birth Index at GenealogySA. A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Walter Clifton Davids was born on 18 Apr 1911 in Mount Torrens SA to parents Wilhelm Edmund Emile Davids and Florence Schmidt (5), but no mention of a birth date for Edna Hazel Hoare. The 1949 Obituary for Mr CF Hoare: “The death occurred at the Wagga Base Hospital, early last Friday morning, of Mr Charles Frederick Hoare, of 19 Albury Street, Wagga, at the age of 69. Mr Hoare was a well-known carrier in Wagga for many years, and was held in high esteem. He spent a few years in New Zealand'after his marriage, and then went to Wagga 40 years ago. Predeceased by his wife, he is survived by two sons, Messrs Neville and Bruce Hoare, of Albury Street, Wagga; and two daughters, Edna Hazel (Mrs M Carmody), and Miss Olga Evelyn Hoare, both of Albury street. Four brothers are Messrs Arthur Hoare, of Coolac; Herbert, of Blacktown; Ray, of Crows Nest; and James Hoare, of Temora. Three sisters are Mrs D Plows, of Cootamundra; Mrs G Devonshire, of Adelaide; and Mrs E McDonnell, of Cronulla. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon. The cortege, which was a very lengthy one, consisting of relatives arid friends from Cootamundra, Coolac, Gundagai, Temora, Sydney, Goulburn, and Wagga, and surrounding districts, moved from St John's, after a service conducted by Archdeacon West. Mrs Sutherland, organist, played 'Nearer My God to Thee.' Interment took place in the Wagga cemetery, where the Archdeacon again officiated. A number of beautlful floral tributes were received”' Cootamundra Herald, Friday 23 December 1949 p2 (6). So if it is the same Edna Hazel Hoare, she was married first to a Mr M Carmody, and this Edna had at least an aunt in Adelaide!! If she was born in Wagga, this would help explain her ‘no show’ on SA birth records. Tempting as it is, I have concluded it is not the same Edna Hazel Hoare, as she married Walter Davids in 1937, and was certainly still buried under the Davids surname, so she really is unlikely to have been married to M Carmody in 1949 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davids_edna_hazel_&_walter_clifton.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=RGF2aWRz&g=V2FsdGVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=RGF2aWRz&g=V2FsdGVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=RGF2aWRz&g=V2FsdGVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I485051 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/138511622?searchTerm=Edna%20Hazel%20Hoare&searchLimits= 862 Gerda Bernice Abbott died aged 76 years on 11 June 1969; wife of Percival John Abbott who died aged 99 years on 15 Aug 1990, parents of Vera, Howard and ? not shown on photo (1), which makes their years of birth c1893 and c1891 respectively. The Percival Abbott Marriage Index shows that Percival John Abbott was married in 1913 to Gerda Bernis[sic] Peters in the Gilbert District (2). RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows Percival John Abbott was born on 25 Oct 1890 in Middleton SA to parents John Abbott and Jane Rouse. Percival John Abbott aged 22 years, single (Father was John Abbott born 2 May 1860 and mother Jane Rouse born 16 Jan 1861, both in Port Elliot SA) was married to Gerda Bernis Peters aged 20 years, single (Father was John Peters), in the residence of the bride’s parents in Riverton on the 16 Jan1913. Children of Gerda Bernis and Percival John Abbott were [1] Howard John Abbott born 28 Dec 1917 Riverton; [2] Vera Abbott born 27 Aug 1913 Murray Bridge; [3] Wilfred Roy Abbott born 28 Dec 1917 Riverton (3). Still on RootsWeb, Gerda Bernis Peters was born c1893 and died 11 Jun 1969 Gawler (4), but her actual date of birth remains elusive. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/abbott_gerda_bernice_&_percival_john.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QWJib3R0&g=UGVyY2l2YWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I720883 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I415691 863 George Charles Adams was born 1890, died 1959; his wife Olive Lillian Adams was born 1891, and died 1978, parents of Eileen, Vic, Mary, Jean, Bob, Alby, Les, Mavis, Reg, Edgar, Frank (dec), Herb and Margaret (1). Using the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, George Charles Adams was born on 21 Nov 1890 in Hampton, Burra SA to parents Charles Adams (born c1845) and Mary Ann Edwards (born c1850). George Charles Adams aged 21 years, single was married to Olive Lillian Edwards aged 22 years, single in Salvation Army Officers Quarters, Kooringa on the 20 June 1912. George Charles Adams, resident of Gawler South, died on 22 May 1959 in Fullarton at the age of 68 years (2). Still on RootsWeb, Olive Lillian Edwards was born 19 Jun 1891 in Copperhouse SA, to parents William Edwards and Elizabeth Stark (3). An ‘all Adams’ search on GenealogySA’s Birth Index seeking offspring of George Charles Adams and Olive Lillian Edwards shows the first nine children noted on the headstone in the same chronological order; the 4 subsequent children Edgar, Frank, Herb and Margaret no doubt are considered too recent to be included on GenealogySA. The first nine children are [1] Eileen Marie Adams b1912 in the Burra District; [2] Victor Stanley Adams b1914 in the Burra District; [3] Olive Mary Adams b1915 in the Burra District; [4] Dorothy Jean Adams b1917 in the Burra District; [5] Robert George Adams b1919 in the Upper Wakefield District; [6] Albert Edward Adams b1920 in the Burra District; [7] Leslie John Adams b1923 in the Burra District; [8] Mavis Lillian Adams b1924 in the Wellington District; [9] Reginald Arthur Adams b1926 in the Burra District (4). Victor Stanley Adams died aged 65 years on 25 Sept 1979, husband of Eva May Adams, father of Bev, Barry and ?? {obscured by the flowers which could have been temporarily moved by the photographer} (5). Back to RootsWeb to find the exact birthdate for Victor Stanley Adams which is shown to be 20 Mar 1914 in Redruth SA to parents as already noted George Charles Adams and Olive Lillian Edwards (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/adams_george_charles_&_olive_lillian.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I721083 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I637824 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QWRhbXM=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/adams_victor_stanley.jpg 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I428926 864 Frank Adams died aged 36 years on 15 Aug 1968, husband of Dawn, father of Susan and Rosemary (1), making his estimated year of birth c1922. There is no Frank Adams marriage to Dawn on GenealogySA, but the Frank Adams Death Index shows that when he died in Gawler in 1968, his nominated relative was his wife Dawn Cecelia Adams (2). A Frank Adams Birth Index shows Frank Clifford Adams was born in 1922 to parents Frank Robert Adams and Jane Wright in the Clare District (3), the only likely Frank Adams on GenealogySA. Using RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Frank Clifford Adams was born on 21 Jul 1922 in Port Pirie SA to parents Frank Robert Adams and Jane Wright (4). The World War Two Nominal Roll shows the Service Record of Frank Clifford Adams confirms his birth on 21 Jul 1922 in Port Pirie SA, which was where he was living when he enlisted in the Australian Army on 8 Oct 1941, citing his father

Frank Adams as Next of Kin. Private Frank Clifford Adams was discharged on 4 Oct 1943 from 6 Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps (5). But Frank Adams didn’t marry a lady named Dawn: “Adams-Clark. Miss Valerie Roland Clark, of Rose Park, will marry Mr Frank Clifford Adams, of Port Plrie, in Gartrell Memorial Methodist Church, Rose Park, on Saturday afternoon. Her gown is all-over lace over ivory slipper satin, with a wrist-length circular tulle veil. Misses Charlotte Holder, Aileen Daniell, Ruth Harkness, and Jeanette Swift will attend her.” News (Adelaide), Thursday 20 January 1949 p15 (6), at least not as far as we know, it may have been a second marriage for him. The Valerie Clark Birth Index shows she was born in 1928 to parents Roland Victor Clark and Elsie Constance Bide in Adelaide (7), so she didn’t have a middle name Dawn. I have not found any evidence that the Frank Adams, husband of Dawn Cecelia, had a middle name of Clifford, and hence cannot ascertain his date of birth with any confidence. In fact he may have actually been Francis, not Frank, and may have been born outside SA 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/adams_frank.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QWRhbXM=&g=RnJhbms=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QWRhbXM=&g=RnJhbms=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I429132 5 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=728828 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/130238512?searchTerm=Adams%20Frank%20Clifford%20Pirie&searchLimits= 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2xhcms=&g=VmFsZXJpZQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== Margaret Adams died on 5 June 1937 aged 37 years, wife of Samuel Adams; also several members of the Tehan (or ?Tenan) family are on the headstone (1), so was Margaret Adams’ maiden name Tehan? The Samuel Adams Marriage Index shows that Samuel George Redvers Adams was married in 1935 to Margaret Tehan in Gawler (2). Confirming she died in 1937, the Margaret Adams Death Index shows that when she died in Gawler in 1937, the nominated relative was her husband Samuel George Redvers Adams (3). A search using RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Margaret Tehan was born on 29 Dec 1899 in Parkside, Adelaide SA to parents John Joseph Tehan and Annie Elizabeth Champs (4). Eileen Annie Adams died aged 52 years on 20 Dec 1962, wife of Sam (5). The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that she died aged 52 years in 1982 (6), but it looks more like 1962 to me. The search for Eileen Adams on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery have Eileen Annie Adams on their Burial Register, and her Memorial Inscription says she died aged 52y in 1962 (7), and on the Eileen Adams Death Index, when she died in the Hindmarsh District in 1962, her nominated relative was her husband Samuel George Redvers Adams (8). So we now know that Samuel GR Adams was married at least twice, but this doesn’t help us find Eileen’s maiden name, as the marriage is not recorded on GenealogySA, nor are there children noted to such a couple. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/adams_margaret.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QWRhbXM=&g=U2FtdWVs&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QWRhbXM=&g=TWFyZ2FyZXQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I177758 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/adams_eileen_annie.jpg 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QWRhbXM=&g=RWlsZWVu&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QWRhbXM=&g=RWlsZWVu&c=&y=&r=MA== Robert Maxwell (Max) Adams died aged 77 years on 15 May 2005, husband of Annie, father of Warren, Maxine and Lindsay (1), making his estimated year of birth c1928. A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Robert Maxwell Adams was born on 4 Aug 1927 in Terowie SA to parents George Adams and Ethel May Moreland (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/adams_robert_maxwell.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I429226 Anne Addis infant daughter of JC and M Addis died aged 10 months on ?18 Dec 1855 (1). The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Anne Addis died aged 10 years (2), but the headstone [which was moved from Pioneer Park to Willaston Cemetery] says 10 months. The Gawler Old Pioneer Cemetery name index confirms on their Panel 3 that in 1855, Anne Addis died aged 10 months (3). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Anne Addis was born 25 Jan 1855 in SA to parents James Clement Addis born c1828 and Mary Jane Stow (or Stone) born c1834. Anne Addis died 17 Dec 1855 in Gawler (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/addis_anne.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://headstones.weebly.com/gawler-old-pioneer-park.html 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I416865 Nancy Addiss died aged 76 years on 12 March 1895; wife of Richard Addiss who died aged 78 years on 10 May 1898 (1), which makes their estimated years of birth c1819 and c1820 respectively. The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery spells their surname as ‘Addis’ (2), but it clearly says ‘Addiss’ on the headstone. The Obituary for Mr Richard Addiss: “The Late Mr Richard Addiss. The late Mr Richard Addiss, who died at Willaston last week, was born in Herefordshire, England, on October 3, 1819, and was therefore in his 79th year. When seven years old he was sent to work on a farm, and when a young man he was an employee at Bagnell's ironworks. During the time he was engaged there, two boiler explosions occurred. He escaped one free, but in tbe other he was struck on the back of the head with one of the flying bricks. In 1854 Mr Addiss came to this colony in the ship Nugget, and landed on the 11th July after 90 days voyage, the vessel having been becalmed for a week in the tropics. He came to Gawler with a bullock team the day after he landed, and had lived in the vicinity ever since. He worked as fireman at the Union flour mill for some time. At one time he owned a bullock team and went to Teetulpa and back three trips for the late Mr Duffield. For many years he carried on farming near Common's Crossing, but retired a few years ago.” Bunyip, Friday 20 May 1898 p2 (3). The Nancy Addiss death notice: “Addiss. On the 12th March, at Willaston, Nancy, the beloved wife of Richard Addiss, aged 76.” The Advertiser, Friday 15 March 1895 p4 (4). The Nancy Addiss search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription for Nancy Addiss who died aged 76y in 1895, although the Burial Register names her Nancy Addis[sic] (5). In fact, the Gawler Council Burial Register for Willaston Cemetery says that Nancy Addis aged 76 years from Willaston was buried 13/3/1895 in Plot/Grave/Niche 35 B 1, with Rev Vivian Roberts officiating (6). It also says that Richard Addis aged 78 years from Willaston was buried 11/5/1898 in Plot/Grave/Niche 35 B 1, with Rev J Watts officiating (7). In both instances the Burial Register calls their surname ‘Addis’, although all other contemporary references are for ‘Addiss’. Nancy’s maiden name remains unknown 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/addis_nancy_&_richard.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm

Her Death Notice: “Death: Alderson. On the 1st May, at Solomontown, Port Pirie, Martha Ann, beloved wife of WH Alderson, and sister of AF Thomson and Mrs EJ May, of Gawler.” Bunyip, Friday 7 May 1909 p2 (2). As we now know Martha’s maiden name, we can use RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people to hopefully find her date of birth, provided she was born in SA. Martha Ann Thomson was born 25 Apr 1859 in Gawler SA to parents Robert Thomson (born c1830) and Susanah Medley (born c1831), and she was married (aged 47years and single) at the residence of Edward Joseph May in Gawler South on the 10 Nov 1906 to William Henry Alderson, a 42 year old widower. Martha Ann Alderson nee Thomson died aged 50 years on 1 May 1909 in Port Pirie SA (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/alderson_martha_ann.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97729755?searchTerm=Alderson&searchLimits=l-title=371 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I156096 John Alderton died aged 79 years on 24 Sept 1894 (1), so he would have been born c1815, and hence not in SA. Death Notice: “Alderton. - On the 24th September, at Jacob-street, Gawler, John Alderton, in his 80th year.” The Advertiser, Tuesday 25 September 1894 p4 (2). “Country News. Gawler, Sept 25: Mr John Alderton, a resident of the town since 1850?, with the exception of an interval at the Victorian diggings, died yesterday, after a short illness, at the age of seventy-nine. He was a wheelwright by trade, and when he came to Gawler entered the employ of the Hon James Martin. On returning from Victoria he commenced a machinist business with a partner, but afterwards re-entered the employ of Messrs Martin & Co, where he remained till about fifteen years ago, when he retired from active work. He has no relatives here.” South Australian Register, Wednesday 26 September 1894 p6 (3). Editor’s Notes: “The Late Mr John Alderton. An old identity of the town in the person of the late Mr John Alderton passed over to the great majority on Monday morning last. The deceased gentleman came to Gawler in the year 1850, and entered the employ of the Hon J Martin as a wheelwright. The outbreak of the Victorian diggings tempted him thence, and he did fairly well. Returning to Gawler he commenced a machinist's business on the Sandy Creek road in partnership with the late Mr Johnston of Angaston, but this not succeeding as well as was anticipated it was abandoned. Mr Alderton again entered the employ of Mr Martin, and remained in the service of Messrs Martin and Co till about fifteen years ago, when he retired from active work. The deceased gentleman, who was 79 years of age, and who leaves no relatives in the colony, was of very retiring habits, and had latterly been lost sight of a good deal. He was, however, possessed of a considerable amount of quiet intelligence, and his stories of early experiences were very entertaining. He had been unwell lately, but nothing serious was anticipated even up to late on Sunday night. The remains were interred in the Willaston cemetery on Tuesday.” Bunyip, Friday 28 September 1894 p2 (4), all these tributes but no mention of his actual date of birth 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/alderton_john.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/25737214?searchTerm=john%20alderton&searchLimits=l-decade=189 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/53656072?searchTerm=john%20alderton&searchLimits=l-decade=189 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97573347?searchTerm=john%20alderton&searchLimits=l-decade=189 Alice Alderton was born in 1892, and died in 1965 (1). Was Alderton her maiden name, or had she married? The Alice Alderton Death Index shows that when Alice Gwendoline Alderton died in Gawler in 1965, her nominated relative was her predeceased husband Frederick Chuter Alderton (2). There are no other records of Frederick Chuter Alderton at GenealogySA, and he doesn’t appear on the RootsWeb SA births website, in fact they don’t even have any Alderton births recorded in SA, at least up to the mid1920s. More can be revealed when we can view the Willaston Burial Register for 1965 online, in about 10 years time 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/alderton_alice.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QWxkZXJ0b24=&g=QWxpY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== Frederick James Alexander died aged 80 years on 8 June 1941 (1). “Alexander. On the 8th of June, at 28 Fourth street, Gawler South, Frederick James, the beloved husband of Anna Charlotte Alexander, aged 80 years. At rest.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 12 June 1941 p20 (2), and also “Alexander. On the 8th of June, at South Gawler, Frederick James Alexander, late of Wasleys and Hamley Bridge, son of late John and Margaret Alexander, formerly of Gawler and One Tree Hill.” The Advertiser, Thursday 12 June 1941 p6 (3). We have learnt that Frederick James Alexander was the son of John and Margaret Alexander [see Note 28] although he doesn’t appear on their list of children, but if he was born c1861, it would place him between [2] Margaret Alexander born 27 Apr 1860 and [3] John Alexander Alexander born 10 Mar 1862. For some reason, he doesn’t appear on the birth records of GenealogySA, RootsWeb, nor on the LDS website. We have also learnt that he was married to Anna Charlotte Alexander, so we can look at her headstone. Charlotte Alexander died aged 79 years on 12 July 1951, daughter of H and D Dieckmann (4), this family is discussed at Note 229. A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Anna Charlotte Dieckmann was born on 17 Sep 1871 in Gawler SA to parents Henry Dieckmann and Anna Dorethea Schirmer (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/alexander_john_&_frederick_james.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92417769?searchTerm=frederick%20alexander%20gawler&searchLimits=l-decade=194 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45009236?searchTerm=frederick%20alexander%20gawler&searchLimits=l-decade=194 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/alexander_charlotte.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I542764 Elizabeth Allen was born at Ponsanooth Cornwall England in 1823, and died in Gawler aged 50 years on 28 Nov 1873, wife of John Allen; Mary Ann Allen died in Gawler aged 68 years on 30 Dec 1888, also wife of John Allen (1), the presumption is that they were both married to the same John Allen. The John Allen who died on 1st August 1894 was married three times and had no offspring [Note 668] must be the John Allen referred to here, as the other John Allen who died 5 Nov 1894 had a wife Jane of longstanding with 3 daughters and many grandchildren. The fact that the John Allen (died Aug 1894) was married three times and when he died left a widow, means that his first 2 wives died before him and these must be the Elizabeth and Mary Ann on this headstone. This John Allen had arrived in SA in 1848, when he was about 26 years old and may have been already married, or he could have married for the first time in 1855, when a John Allan[sic] married an Elizabeth Hatter in the Encounter Bay District (2). After Elizabeth died in 1873, there are two choices for his second wife [1] Mary Ann Roserow 1874 in Adelaide, or [2] Mary Ann Lockett in 1882 in the Mount Barker District (2). Mary Ann Lockett in 1882 in the Mount Barker District (2). Like their husband John Allen, neither Elizabeth born c1823, nor Mary Ann born c1820 would have been born in SA, so there are no birth records in SA.

This means that Clem was born c1901 and Mary Effie May was born c1897. I couldn’t find much information about this married couple on RootsWeb, GenealogySA, until I went searching on old newspapers using Trove. Then it clicked into place: Their real names were Clem Allan May and Mary Effie May, and they are not Allens at all. Clem’s 1951 Death Notice: “May. On August 24 (suddenly), at his residence, 26 13th street, Gawler West, Clem Allen, beloved husband of Effie May and loved father of Gladys, Allen, Beryl and Eileen. Aged 50 years.” News (Adelaide), Friday 24 August 1951 p20 (2). This should be corrected on the “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (3), moving these May’s to the “M” data page, but don’t feel too bad, GenealogySA has it wrong also, at least in their cemetery records. The Clem May Marriage Index shows Clem Allen May was married in 1923 in the Barossa District to Mary Effie Hutchins (4). With their correct identities, we look on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people to see that Clem Allen May was born in 1901 in Gawler River SA to parents Ernest George May and Elsie May Badcock (5). Still on RootsWeb, Mary Effie Hutchins was born on 2 Jan 1897 in Gawler to parents Frederick Richard Hutchins and Mary Nora Dwyer (6). I cannot discover Clem Allen May’s actual day of birth 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/allen_clem_&_mary_effie.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/130330658?searchTerm=clem%20allen%20effie%20Gawler&searchLimits= 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TWF5&g=Q2xlbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I257364 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I42405 Mary Ann Allen, wife of Thomas Allen, was born on 27 Aug 1827, and died at Gawler 13 Jan 1901 (1). The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has her death on 13.01.0901 (2), which clearly should be 13.01.1901. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/allen_thomas_&_mary_ann.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm Cyril Allister died aged 70 years on 5 Feb 1977, husband of Connie, father of Bruce (dec’d) and Jean (1), making his year of birth c1907. Bruce Allister died aged 46 yrs on 5 Sept 1975, husband of Josephine, father of Roderick and Terry (2), so his year of birth is c1929. Using RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we see that Cyril Benjamin Allister was born on 17 Apr 1906 in Port Gawler to parents Samuel Allister and Jane Hosken Wasley (3). It is (only just) too recent for RootsWeb to give us Bruce Allister’s date of birth. The Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser at least gives us his full name, and shows that on 6 Sept 1975 there was a funeral notice for Alwyne Bruce Allister (4). Although I’ve found a Birth Notice for Bruce’s younger sister, there’s no sign of his: Bruce’s sister Jeane is born: “Allister (nee Connie Baker). On the 8th September, at Two Wells, to Mr and Mrs Cyril Allister —a bonny daughter (Barbara Jeane).” The Advertiser, Friday 29 September 1933 p20 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/allister_cyril.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/allister_bruce_&_josephine.jpg 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I8581 4 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-A.html 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47005040?searchTerm=allister%20cyril%20connie%20son&searchLimits= Edward Phillip Allwood died aged 92 yrs on 20 March 1982, husband of Hilda Mary, father of Frank, Reg, Joan, Phil and Janet (1), so his year of birth would be c1890. On RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people we find that Edward Philip Allwood was born on 20 May 1889 in Rosewater, Adelaide SA to parents Edward Philip Allwood and Mary Ann Gill (2). Still on RootsWeb, the son of Edward Philip Allwood (Frank on the headstone) is Edward Frank Allwood who was born on 26 Jul 1914 in Gawler to parents Edward Philip Allwood and Hilda Mary Jacobs (3). Edward Frank Allwood was born on 26 July 1914, and died 10 Jan 2002; his wife Leah was born 17 Sept 1916, and died 15 Nov 2002; parents of Jocelyn and Phillipa (4). There is no Marriage Index for Edward Frank Allwood on GenealogySA, so we need to look elsewhere. Using Trove, we find: Marriages: “Allwood—Warne. May 6, at St Patrick's, Adelaide, Leah, second daughter of Mr and Mrs J Warne, Victor Harbor, to Frank (AIF, ret), eldest son of Mr and Mrs E Allwood, Gawler South.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 18 May 1944 p14 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/allwood_edward_phillip.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I716049 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I426597 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/allwood_edward_frank_&_leah.jpg 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92711745?searchTerm=Edward%20Frank%20Allwood%20marriage&searchLimits= Charles William (Bill) Allwood died aged 76 yrs on 2 March 1990, husband of Zeta (1), so his year of birth would be c1914.

There is no relevant Charles Almond Marriage Index but the Charles Almond Death Index shows Charles Mitten[sic] Almond died in Adelaide in 1946 (2), and the Charles Almond search on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows that Charles Mitton Almond is on the Burial Register there (3). On Gawler Council’s website, Elizabeth Almond aged 53 yrs was buried on 7/02/1928 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 43 E 4, with Rev Bevan officiating (4), and Charles Mitton Almond aged 73 yrs of Adelaide (previously Cobdogla) was buried on 13/06/1946 in Willaston Cemetery in the reopened Plot/Grave/Niche 43 E 4 (5). I have been unable to find out Elizabeth Almond’s maiden name and hence her date of birth, despite exhaustive searching old newspapers on Trove 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/almond_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QWxtb25k&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QWxtb25k&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31983 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33248 William Henry Alsop died aged 87 yrs on 20 April 1989; Amy Elsie Alsop died aged 93 yrs on 9 June 2001, parents of Bob, Roy, Alan, Kevin and Jean (1), so William’s year of birth would be c1902, and Amy’s c1908.

The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that he died in 1946 (2), but although it is hard to read, it looks more like 1948. The Seabert Andersen Death Index shows that when Seabert Rudolph Andersen died in 1948 in the Hindmarsh District, his nominated relative was his son VW Andersen (3). The Seabert Andersen search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, there is Seabert Rudolph Anderson[sic] on the Burial Register, but on the Memorial Inscription it has Seabert Rudolph Andersen who died aged 59y in 1948 (4). There is nothing else on GenealogySA about him, but the Gawler Council’s website says Seabert Rudolph Anderson[sic] aged 59 yrs who last resided in Seaton Park was buried 12/11/1948 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 19 K 4, with Rev Wilson officiating (5). There is no record of him being born in SA 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/andersen_seabert_rudolph.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QW5kZXJzZW4=&g=U2VhYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QW5kZXJzZW4=&g=U2VhYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34046 Vera Ileen Anderson died aged 93 yrs on 12 Feb 2003, and is buried alongside her brother Albert John Aunger who died aged 63 yrs on 5 Dec 1961; both were children of Thomas J and Charlotte Aunger. On the headstone also, Vera Ileen Anderson was married to Des ?Anderson (1). Vera Ileen Anderson nee Aunger thus has a calculated year of birth of c1910. A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian shows that Vera Ileen Aunger was actually born on 6 Nov 1909 in Port Gawler SA to parents Thomas James Aunger and Charlotte Rowley (2). The ‘all Anderson’ Birth Index on GenealogySA shows a Rolf Desmond Anderson birth in the Flinders District to parents Gilbert Anderson and Eliza Brown (3), which suits his wife being born in 1909. On RootsWeb, there is only one Rolf Desmond Anderson who was born on 4 Jan 1908 in Streaky Bay SA to parents Gilbert Anderson and Eliza Brown (4). I cannot find a connection between Vera Ileen Anderson nee Aunger and William Wright Anderson other than their surname, nor can I find a marriage of Vera and Rolf Desmond. All we know about William Wright Anderson is that on the headstone he was born in Glasgow and died aged 71 yrs on 1 May 1960, and he had children as there is an inscription that says ‘our dear father’ (5). There are no records of William Wright Anderson on GenealogySA as a parent, other than on his Death Index where it says that when he died in Gawler in 1960, his nominated relative was a daughter named S Anderson (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/anderson_vera_ileen.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I435622 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QW5kZXJzb24=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I431756 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/anderson_william_wright.jpg 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QW5kZXJzb24=&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== John Thomas Andrews died aged 77 yrs on 4 July 1958; his wife Elsie May Andrews died aged 75 yrs on 9 Nov 1960 (1), making their years of birth c1881 and c1885 respectively. The John Andrews Marriage Index shows that John Thomas Andrews was married in 1907 in the Daly District to Elsie May Brereton (2). The search using RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that John Thomas Andrews was born on 20 Feb 1881 in Condowie SA to parents John Andrews and Harriett Lousia Oakford (3), while Elsie May Brereton was born on 19 Jul 1885 in Koolywurtie SA to parents Edward Brereton and Lousia Watson (4). On a separate headstone, Joan Andrews died aged 70 yrs on 31 Aug 1987; Hazel Rae Andrews died aged 86 yrs on 2 Jan 1997; daughters of John and Elsie Andrews (5). The Hazel Andrews Birth Index shows that Hazel Rae Andrews was born in 1910 to parents John Thomas Andrews and Elsie May Brereton in the Daly District (6), but there is no Joan Andrews Birth Index, so I’ll search for all offspring to see if Joan is maybe her middle name. The ‘all Andrews’ Birth Index seeking offspring of John Thomas Andrews and Elsie May Brereton reveals 7 children [1] Douglas Rex Andrews b1909 Daly District; [2] Hazel Rae Andrews b1910 Daly District; [3] Constance Violet Andrews b1913 Daly District; [4] Gertrude Rita Andrews b1914 Daly District; [5] Eva Joan Andrews b1917 Daly District; [6] Edward John Andrews b1919 Clare District; [7] Lyla Dorothy Andrews b1922 Daly District (7). Douglas Rex Andrews has a separate headstone which tells us he died aged 71 yrs on 4 March 1981 (8). Now we have learned that the Andrews collection of headstones comprise parents and three of their children (and their full names), we can turn to Rootsweb to find the children’s dates of birth. Douglas Rex Andrews was born on 7 Sep 1909 Snowtown SA (9), Eva Joan Andrews was born on 28 Jan 1917 Snowtown (10), and Hazel Rae Andrews was born on 23 Sep 1910 Snowtown (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/andrews_john_thomas_&_elsie_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QW5kcmV3cw==&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I469414 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I318671 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/andrews_joan_&_hazel_rae.jpg 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QW5kcmV3cw==&g=SGF6ZWw=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QW5kcmV3cw==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/andrews_douglas_rex.jpg 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I432632 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I428267 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I428227 John Annells died aged 68 yrs on 15 Oct 1894; his wife Eliza Annells died aged 70 yrs on 28 May 1894; their daughter Louisa Harriett Annells died aged 67 yrs on 12 Dec 1931 (1). On the LDS website, John Annells was born in 1826 in Wickham, Hampshire, England, and died on 15 Oct 1894 in Gawler SA. His parents were John Annells and Eliza Pook.He arrived in SA aboard the Marion in 1849, and was a miller, a mason, and a timber merchant, who had resided in Nth Adelaide and in Gawler. He was married on 14 May 1848 in Southampton, Hampshire, England to Eliza Millard (born 4 Aug 1823 Boarhunt Hampshire to parents William Millard and Harriet Matthews).

The Charles Annells search on GenealogySA’s Marriage Index shows that Charles Henry Annells was married in 1873 to Emily Parnell in the Barossa District (2). Irene Parnell Annells died aged 67 yrs on 11 March 1948; Norma Florence Annells died aged 62 yrs on 18 March 1950; Emily Annells died aged 74 yrs on 3 Feb 1925 (3). The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Emily Annells died in 1935 (4), but the headstone, when magnified a little clearly says she died in 1925. The “A” data page also says that Irene Parnell Annells was 62 yrs old when she died (4), when the headstone clearly says 67 yrs old. The LDS website tells us that Charles Henry Annells was born on 7 Nov 1852 in North Adelaide, and died 7 Apr 1915 nr Gawler SA. His parents John and Eliza Annells were discussed in Note 884. Charles Henry Annells was an accountant and lived in Gawler. On the 10 Dec 1873 he married in Gawler Emily Parnell b1852, died 3 Feb 1925 Gawler. Emily’s parents were Samuell and Christina Parnell. The offspring of Charles Henry Annells and Emily Parnell included [1] Mabel Emilie Field nee Annells born 12 Jul 1875 Gawler, died 1939; [2] Amy Parnell Forgie nee Annells born 15 Oct 1876 Gawler, died 1952; [3] Irene Parnell Annells born 14 Jul 1880 Gawler, died 1948; [4] Frederick Charles Annells born 30 Apr 1884 Gawler, died 9 Jan 1887 Gawler; [5] Norma Florence Annells born 23 Mar 1888 Gawler, died 1950 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/annells_charles_henry_&_frederick_charles.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QW5uZWxscw==&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/annells_irene_parnell,_norma_florence_&_emily.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I216103&tree=SouthAustralia Margaret Aitken was born 1901 in Glasgow, and died 1982 in Freeling, aunt of Jean, Fred, Greta and Alex (1). The Margaret Aitken search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery say Margaret Aitken died aged 80y on their Burial Register (2), and the Newspaper Death Notices section says that there was one for Margaret (Meg) Aitken in 1982 (3). Despite searching old newspapers including the local Bunyip of Gawler, I have not found further mention of Margaret Aitken. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/aitken_margaret.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QWl0a2Vu&g=TWFyZ2FyZXQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QWl0a2Vu&g=TWFyZ2FyZXQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== Valerie Lucy Antwis died aged 52 yrs on 16 July 1980, her husband Roger John Antwis died aged 63 yrs on 12 May 1987; their son David Le Antwis died aged 33 yrs on 13 Nov 1998 (1). David’s unusual middle name makes one suspicious that several letters may have been expunged from the start, with that big gap. But nothing else has been damaged on the headstone, so maybe it’s just what it says. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser indicates that one for David Le Antwis appeared on 17 Nov 1998 (2), and this is confirmed on GenealogySA’s Index of Newspaper Death Notices which indicates that there were two notices in the Advertiser in 1998 for David Le Antwis (3). A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Roger John Antwis was born on 24 Dec 1923 in Mount Crawford SA to parents John William Antwis and Sarah Ivy Speck (4). To find Valerie Lucy’s maiden name, a search on GenealogySA’s Marriage Index didn’t help, but searching via Trove yielded: “Engagements: Clark-Antwis. The engagement is announced of Valerie Lucy, second daughter of Mr and Mrs K Clark, Semaphore, to Roger John, eldest son of Mr and Mrs J Antwis, Mt Crawford.” The Advertiser, Tuesday 21 January 1947 p12 (5). Back on RootsWeb, Valerie Lucy Clark was born on 14 Feb 1928 in Rose Park, Adelaide SA to parents Kenneth Donald Clark and Grace Isobel Bowden (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/antwis_valerie_lucy,_roger_john_&_david_le.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-A.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QW50d2lz&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I433252 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30508203?searchTerm=Antwis%20Roger%20Valerie&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I470953 Graham John Argent died aged 14 yrs on 16 June 1957, elder son of Max and Mavis Argent (1).

The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Charlotte Arnold died on the 20th March (2), but the headstone says the 2nd of March 1899. To confirm this: “Death: Arnold. On the 2nd March, at Mayfield, near Roseworthy, Charlotte, the beloved wife of James Arnold, aged 66 years.” The Bunyip, Friday 3 March 1899 p2 (3). It is worth noting that she was 66 yrs old, not 65 as it says on the headstone. On the LDS website, James Edward Arnold was born c1839 and died 6 Sep 1910 nr Roseworthy SA. He married Charlotte McLean b1832, died 2 Mar 1899 Roseworthy. Their children were [1] Patience Arnold born 2 May 1869 Roseworthy; [2] Thomas Arnold born 5 Jul 1870 Gawler Belt; [3] Frances Arnold born 12 Dec 1871 Gawler Belt; [4] Ellen Arnold born 16 Apr 1873; [5]

The LDS website also notes that Patience Arnold was married 29 Aug 1910 Roseworthy to Harrie Brock; and Georgina Arnold was married on 28 Jun 1906 Roseworthy to Carl Elard Koch (5). Brian McLean Arnold died aged 3 years and 4 months on 30 Nov 1915, son of TH and ME Arnold (6). Using RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we find that Brian McLean Arnold was born on 21 Jul 1912 in Gawler to parents Thomas Hannah Arnold and Maud Eleanor Carter (7). I have included Brian McLean Arnold’s details here because of the ‘McLean’ link to Charlotte, and the fact she had a son called Thomas, and the shape of the headstone behind Brian’s which matches the shape of Charlotte’s headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/arnold_charlotte_&_james_edward.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97579672?searchTerm=Charlotte%20Arnold%20James&searchLimits= 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I215570&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F66769&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/arnold_brian_mclean.jpg 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I434006 Mary Arnold died aged 41 years on 25 May 1880; wife of John Arnold who died aged 73 yrs on 12 May 1903 (1). According to the LDS website, John Arnold was born in 1831 and was married on 30 Aug 1855 at St George Church, Gawler to Mary Riggs (b1836 Dorset, England and died 25 May 1880 Gawler Plains). Their children included [1] Unknown first name Arnold born 3 Aug 1856 Gawler; [2] George Arnold born 22 Oct 1859 Gawler, died 30 Nov 1860 SA; [3] Jane Arnold born c1860; [4] Harriet MacDonnell Arnold born 5 Jul 1861 Mount Gambier; [5] George Arnold born 9 Jan 1863 Mount Gambier; [6] John Henry Arnold born 12 Jan 1873 Port MacDonnell SA, died 4 Feb 1873 Port MacDonnell [7] Robert Arnold born 1 Oct 1876 Gawler, died 1 Oct 1876 Gawler (2). Further information on the LDS website tells us that Mary Riggs’ parents were John Riggs and Ann Elizabeth Allen. Jane Arnold was married on 28 Feb 1876 at Port MacDonnell to Stephen Sherwood (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/arnold_mary_&_john.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I12146&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F2860&tree=SouthAustralia Ronald Percy Arnold was born 28 April 1921 and died 8 Nov 2001, husband of Lorna Sophie (1). On the RootsWeb website, Ronald Percy Arnold was born on 28 Apr 1921 in Kapunda SA to parents Benhard Carl Arnold and Meta Alwine Minge (2). Carl Bernhard Arnold was born on 12 Mar 1896 in Gnadenfrei SA to parents Carl Friedrich Arnold and Johanna Louise Bertha Boehm (3). Carl Freidrich Arnold was born on 3 May 1875 SA to parents Carl Freidrich Arnold and Caroline Nitschke (4). Thus this Arnold family seems not related to the other Arnolds buried at Willaston 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/arnold_ronald_percy.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I434103 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I739182 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I297335 Jane Arthur died 20 yrs on 28 June 1884; her father James Arthur died aged 71 yrs on 4 Jan 1905 and her mother Ellen Arthur died aged 81 yrs on 25 Sept 1915 (1). On the Gawler Council website, Jane Arthurs[sic] aged 20 yrs who last resided in Gawler South was buried 29/6/1884 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 19 A 2, with Rev F Bardwell officiating (2). James Arthur aged 71 yrs who last resided in Gawler South was buried 5/01/1905 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 19 A 2, with Rev JAS Gordon officiating (3). Ellen Arthur aged 81 yrs who last resided in Gawler South was buried 26/09/1915 Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 18 A 2, with Rev Wm Gray officiating (4). I have not succeeded in finding any of their dates of birth on GenealogySA or on RootsWeb, so maybe they came to SA as a family already 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/arthur_jane,_james_&_ellen.jpg 2 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30236 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31402 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=32146 Amelia Ash died aged 85 years on 7 Apr 1972, mentioned on a headstone commemorating Thomas Riley, son of Thomas and Norah ?Riley?, who died aged 73 years on 21 Feb 1969. It appears that Amelia Ash was a daughter of Thomas and Norah ?Riley? and brother to Thomas Riley (1). It is confusing: Is Amelia Ash her married name, meaning she was previously Amelia Riley? Or do they all have the surname Ash, and Amelia hadn’t married? There is no Amelia Ash on the RootsWeb site for SA births, but there’s no Amelia Riley either. But there’s no Thomas Riley born c1896 on RootsWeb, nor a Thomas Ash. Turning to the Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser, there’s nothing for Amelia Ash, but there is one on 10 April 1972 for Amelia Ash (Amy) Riley (2). Therefore it seems that ‘Ash’ was her middle name, and she was still using her original name ‘Riley’, implying she never married. On GenealogySA’s Death Index, Amelia Ash Riley died in the Port Adelaide District in 1972, her nominated relative was M McCarthy [T- whatever ‘T’ means] (3). Now just to confuse things, on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, there is no mention of Amelia Ash Riley, but there are two Memorial Inscriptions for Amelia Ash, one of which says she died agedc 85 yrs in 1972 (4). In desperation, finding little else to go on (Trove searches only go up to 1954 etc), I Googled “Thomas and Norah Riley” and found this {with my editing}: Excerpt from Descendants of Gregory Ashe. Generation No. 5 (found on the internet 6 July 2014). “Nora Ashe was born 9 April 1861 in Minard, Kerry, Ireland, and died 17 May 1945 in Gawler. She married Thomas Riley on 10 Feb 1880 in Gawler SA. Children of Nora Ashe and Thomas Riley are [1] John Riley born 10 Feb 1881 in Gawler, died 1913; [2] Frank Riley born 20 Aug 1883 in Gawler, died 1972 Adelaide; [3] Amy Riley, born 12 Oct 1887 Gawler, died 7 April 1972 Gawler; [4] Mary Riley born 6 March 1890 Gawler, died 1980; [5] Wilfred Riley born 7 June 1892 Australia, died 1956 Australia; [6] Thomas Riley born 1894 Gawler, died 21 Feb 1969 Gawler; [7] Bernard Riley born 24 June 1896 Gawler, died 1915 France; [8] James Riley born 20 June 1898 Gawler, died 21 January 1963 Australia; [9] Cyril Riley born 12 Oct 1900 Gawler, died 1961. He married Joyce Mortlock.” (5). It is now clear that Amelia (Amy) Ash {from mother’s famil} Riley should be placed under Riley on the “R” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/ash_amelia.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-R.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=UmlsZXk=&g=QW1lbGlh&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QXNo&g=QW1lbGlh&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/a/s/h/Thomas-J-Ashe/GENE2-0006.html Frederick William Atkinson died aged 77 yrs on 18 May 1961 (Late EMMB Coy AIF); Elsie May Atkinson died aged 87 yrs on 20 Nov 1977 (1), making their years of birth c1884 and c1890 respectively. There is no Frederick William Atkinson Marriage Index on GenealogySA, so
we turn to an ‘all Atkinson’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Frederick William Atkinson and an Elsie May __. This shows us that there were 2 children born to William Anderson Atkinson and Elsie May Wood, both in Adelaide [1] Kenneth Anderson Atkinson b1900; [2] Gavin Anderson Atkinson b1914, but nothing for Frederick William Atkinson and an Elsie May __ (2). But this is William Anderson Atkinson, not Frederick William Atkinson, and although he married an Elsie May, maybe it isn’t the family we are seeking. The William Atkinson Marriage Index showed that William Anderson Atkinson was married in Adelaide in 1899 to Elsie May Wood (3). This marriage occurred in 1899 when our Elsie May was only 9 years old so we must look again. Frederick William Atkinson had a military connection on his headstone, presumably WWI from his age, so we look at the Gawler WWI Honour Roll to find that Lance Corporal Frederick William Atkinson from the Australian Electrical and Mechanical Mining Unit was born on 26 April 1884 to parents Frederick Atkinson and Susan Ralph. He gave his next of kin as Mrs Elsie May Atkinson of Glena St Broken Hill NSW, and was a miner before enlisting 28 Jan 1916. He saw service in France, and was discharged 8 Aug 1919. He died 18 May 1961 and is buried at Willaston. His Death Notice was in the Advertiser 19 May 1961, noting his final residence was in 20th St, Gawler South. He was father of Ailsia, Hedley and Tom. His older brother Richard Ralph Atkinson served in the same unit, and he was born in Bendigo Victoria in 1881. He also survived the war and died in Gawler 1970, and is buried at Hamley Bridge. On RootsWeb, Frederick William Atkinson was born on 26 Apr 1884 in Stonyfell, Burnside, Adelaide to parents Frederick Atkinson and Susan Ralph (5). I cannot find Elsie May’s maiden name, nor her date of birth, despite trawling through lots of old newspapers via Trove, and even Googling her name and Broken Hill, where I at least found she had not married in NSW, “You searched marriages for the Groom's name Frederick William Atkinson and Bride's name Elsie May in the years 1890 to 1920: 0 matches found” (6). My final thought was to see if her funeral notice included her maiden name, but her notice in the Advertiser on 24 Nov 1977 merely had Elsie May Atkinson (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/atkinson_frederick_william_&_elsie_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QXRraW5zb24=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QXRraW5zb24=&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/a.html 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I578760 6 http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/bdm_fh.html 7 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-A.html 896 Margaret Atwell died aged 95 yrs on 28 Dec 1939 (1), so her year of birth was c1844. The Margaret Atwell Death Index shows that Margaret Mary Ann Atwell died in Gawler in 1938, and her nominated relative was her deceased husband Joseph Atwell (2). The headstone definitely says she died in 1939. The Gawler Council website confirms her 1938 death: Margaret Mary Ann Atwell aged 95 yrs who last resided in Gawler was buried 29/12/1938 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 19 J 2, with Pastor Presser officiating (3). The ‘all Atwell’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Joseph Atwell and a mother named Margaret Mary Ann reveals 5 children, their details I’ll cite as they appear on the Index [1] James John Attwel b1876 to parents Joseph Attwel and Margaret Mary Christian in the Gilbert District; [2] Leuanah Jane Attwel b1879 to parents Joseph Attwel and Margarett Ann Christian in the Barossa District; [3] Edith Ethel Dina Attwel b1881 to parents Joseph Attwel and Margaret Ann Hemple in the Barossa District; [4] Ruth Emma Attwell b1884 to parents Joseph Attwell and Margaret Ann Christian in the Barossa District; [5] Elizabeth Margaret Attwell b1885 to parents Joseph Attwell and Margaret Cristian in the Barossa District (4). We now can see that the spelling of ‘Atwell’ is a bit suss, and is more likely spelt ‘Attwell’. The surname ‘Hemple’ will be explained below. On the LDS Website, Joseph Attwell was born in 1847, his father was James Atwell. Joseph Attwell aged 28 yrs was married on 23 Jul 1875 at Pinkerton Plains SA to Margaret Ann Christian, a 25 yrs old widow, born c1850. Their children (numbered as above) included [1] James John Attwell born 2 Sep 1876 Light SA, died 16 Nov 1907 Gawler; [2] Leuanah Jane Attwell born 6 Apr 1879 Templers SA; [4] Ruth Emma Attwell born 6 Jun 1884 Templers; [5] Elizabeth Margaret Attwell born 15 Jun 1885 nr Templers (5). No doubt due to the mother’s different surname, the LDS site has overlooked [3] Edith Ethel Dina Attwell, whom we find on RootsWeb to have been born on 18 Sep 1881 in Templers SA to parents Joseph Attwel and Margaret Ann Hemple (6). Further information on the LDS site, Margaret Ann Christian was born c1850 to father Gottlieb Christian. The first child of Joseph and Margaret was James John Attwell who was married on 18 Jan 1900 at Evanston to Annie Marie Barrett. Ruth Emma Attwell was married 23 Dec 1904 in Gawler to Frank Thomas Freeman (7). Still using LDS information, Johann Gottlieb Christian was born in 1808 Pommern, Prussia, died in 1902 in SA and is buried Magdala SA. He had arrived in SA in 1837 aboard the Solway and was a farmer who had lived on Kangaroo Island, and at Jacobs Ck, Rowland Flat, and Magdala. He was married in Stettin, Pommern, Prussia to Karoline Christian (from Wales) who died in 1848 on Kangaroo Island. Their children were [1] Johann Gottlieb Christian born c1837 Stettin, Pommern, Prussia, d1896 Tanunda SA; [2] Edmund Godlich Christian born 16 Jun 1843 Kingscote SA, died 25 Mar 1927 SA; [3] Johanna Clark nee Christian [twin] b1845 SA, d1925; [4] Ferdinand Christian [twin] b1845 SA, died USA; [5] Maria Margarethe Atwell fmly Hempel nee Christian b1847 SA, d1939 SA; [6-11] 6 other children who died as infants. Johann Gottlieb Christian was then married on 27 Nov 1862 in Krondorf SA to Ana Eleonore Kleve b1808, they both being 54 yrs old (8). In summary, Maria Margarethe Atwell formerly Hempel nee Christian has become Margaret Mary Ann Atwell (or Attwell) and has died in 1938, not 1939, aged 91 yrs not 95 yrs old. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/atwell_margaret.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QXR3ZWxs&g=TWFyZ2FyZXQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=33446 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QXR3ZWxs&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I67704&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I489966 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F36739&tree=SouthAustralia 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I241724&tree=SouthAustralia 897 Bertha Olive Audley died aged 88 yrs on 8 April 1990, wife of Ted, mother of Richard and Sheila (1). I cannot find a marriage between Bertha and Ted Audley on GenealogySA, but on Trove, there was “Wedding Bells: Shanahan-Audley. On Saturday, 18th January, the wedding was solemnised of Mrs BO Shanahan, of Templers, and Mr EE Audley, of Melbourne. ... Matron of honor was the bride’s youngest sister Mrs Colin Hammond. .... Mr Audley was attended by Mr Reg Nelson. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride. .... For their honeymoon, Mr and Mrs Audley motored to Melbourne, taking with them the top story[sic] of the wedding cake for Mr Audley's father who was unable to attend the ceremony. Mr and Mrs Audley's future home will be at Templers.” Bunyip, Friday 7 February 1947 p6 (2). The Audleys had a horse stud at Templers: “District Represented at Yearling Sales. The Gawler district will be well represented this year at the annual sale of thoroughbred yearlings beginning in Adelaide on Monday week. Youngsters from Mr JH Roach's 'Beaufields' stud at Gawler River, from Mr WA Thomas now establishing at 'Trevu,' Gawler East and from Mr EE Audley, 'Drumgill,' Templers are listed in the catalogue.” Bunyip, Friday 25 February 1949 p3 (3). So we have learned that Bertha

Olive had been married before (Mrs BO Shanahan). The ‘all Shanahan’ Marriage Index shows that in 1936, Richard Shanahan married Bertha Olive Clune in Adelaide, the only Bertha Olive ___ who married a Shanahan on GenealogySA (4). Richard had died in 1941: “Shanahan.—On October 4, at his residence, Templers, Richard, beloved husband of Bertha Shanahan, aged 72 years.” The Advertiser, Monday 6 October 1941 p12 (5), so his year of birth would have been c1869, more than 30 years older than Bertha. A search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no Bertha Olive Clune, so she may have been born elsewhere, but I couldn’t find a reference using Trove to her (or her sister’s) birth or wedding. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/audley_bertha_olive.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96844354?searchTerm=Audley&searchLimits=l-title=371 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96852345?searchTerm=Audley&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=U2hhbmFoYW4=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44960305?searchTerm=Shanahan%20Templers&searchLimits=l-title=44 Thomas James Aunger died aged 83 yrs on 22 Sept 1945, his wife Charlotte Aunger died aged 82 yrs on 19 May 1952 (1), making their years of birth c1862 and c1870 respectively. On the LDS website, Thomas James Aunger was born 31 Mar 1862 Gawler Hills SA and died 1945 SA. His parents were John Aunger (b1823) and Ellen Staples (b1829, died 1 Feb 1906 nr Two Wells SA), who had married 9 Mar 1854 in Adelaide. Thomas James Aunger was married on 15 Mar 1894 at Two Wells to Charlotte Rowley (born 2 Jun 1870 Myponga SA to parents Robert Rowley and Maria Polden). Charlotte Aunger died 1952. The children of Thomas James and Charlotte Aunger included [1] Florence Evelyn Haydon nee Aunger born 17 May 1896 Port Gawler; [2] Albert John Aunger; [3] Harrold[sic] James Aunger born 11 July 1901 Port Gawler; [4] Marie Stevens nee Aunger; [5] Ida Beatrice Edwards nee Aunger b1906; [6] Vera Eileen Anderson nee Aunger b1909; [7] Doreen Mavis Haydon nee Aunger (2). The headstone for Albert John Aunger says he died aged 63 years on 5 Dec 1961, and he is buried alongside his sister Vera Ileen[sic] Anderson, wife of Des who died aged 93 years on 12 Feb 2003. These siblings were both children of Thomas J and Charlotte Aunger (3). On Ancestry.com, Albert John Aunger born 6 Nov 1898 to Thomas James Aunger (18621945) and Charlotte Rowley (1870-1952). He died 5 Dec 1961 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/aunger_thomas_james_&_charlotte.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I79912&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/aunger_albert_john.jpg 4 http://records.ancestry.com.au/albert_john_aunger_records.ashx?pid=4470698 Edward (Ted) John Aunger was born 13 Feb 1906 and died 22 July 1991, his wife Evelyn Neta Aunger was born 4 July 1914 and died 5 May 2006, parents of Jeanette and Jean (1). On the Ancestry.com website, Edward John Aunger was born on 13 Feb 1906 to Simon Edward Aunger and Emma Squires. Edward John married Evelyn Neta Geue and had 2 children. He died in 1991 (2). Evelyn Neta Geue was born on 4 Jul 1914 to William August Geue and Gertrude Amanda Menzel. Evelyn Neta and her husband Edward John Aunger had 2 children (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/aunger_edward_john_&_evelyn_neta.jpg 2 http://records.ancestry.com.au/edward_john_aunger_records.ashx?pid=4474131 3 http://records.ancestry.com.au/evelyn_neta_geue_records.ashx?pid=4476180 The headstone for Charles Henry Aunger says he died aged 79 yrs on 8 Oct 1988, although admittedly the lettering is quite indistinct. It also notes his wife was Vida, and they were patrents of Laurel and ??? (1). The “A” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Charles Henry Aunger died on the 6th Oct, but it seems more like the 8th Oct to me, also there is a possibility that the stated year of death is not 1988 (2). A search for Charles Aunger on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription noting that Charles Henry Aunger died aged 79y in 1988 (3). However, the Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper shows that one for Charles Henry Aunger was in that newspaper on 12 Oct 1987 (4), so if the headstone doesn’t say 1987, it is incorrect. This is confirmed on the Ancestry.com website that says that Charles Henry Aunger was born on 2 May 1908 to Simon Edward Aunger and Emma Squires. Charles Henry married Vida Pring and had 2 children. He died on 8 Oct 1987 (5). A Charles Aunger search on GenealogySA’s Marriage Index shows that Charles Henry Aunger was married in the Barossa District in 1934 to Vida Loris Pring (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/aunger_charles_henry_&_vida.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastona_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QXVuZ2Vy&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-A.html 5 http://records.ancestry.com.au/charles_henry_aunger_records.ashx?pid=4472176 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QXVuZ2Vy&g=Q2hhcmxlcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== William James Aunger died aged 66 yrs on 24 Feb 1976, husband of Betty, father of Lionel, Reg and Geoff (dec’d). Using the website of RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, William James Aunger was born on 15 Jul 1910 Lewiston SA to parents Simon Edward Staples Aunger and Emma Squires (2), making him a brother of Charles Henry Aunger. Another brother was Simon Frederick Aunger, who was born on 23 Feb 1914 to Simon Edward Aunger and Emma Squires. He passed away on 8 Aug 1953 (3). Simon Frederick Aunger’s headstone just says he died aged 39 years on 8 Aug 1953 (4), and the dates tally with those on the Ancestry.com website noted above (3). An unmarried sister of William James, Charles Henry and Simon Frederick Aunger was Lucy May Aunger who, according to the RootsWeb site, was born on 29 Jan 1904 in Port Gawler (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/aunger_william_james.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I435624 3 http://records.ancestry.com.au/simon_frederick_aunger_records.ashx?pid=4438955 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/aunger_simon_fredereick.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I15359 Allen Charles Aunger, husband of Barbara Jean, was accidentally killed aged 27 years on 16 June 1966 (1). Allen Charles Aunger was born in 1938 to Charles Henry Aunger and Vida Pring. He died in 1966 (2). Geoffrey William Aunger died aged 22 years on 18 July 1977, son of William and Betty, brother of Lionel and Reg (3). Both of these unfortunate deaths are too recent for most genealogy sites, even Trove 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/aunger_allen_charles.jpg 2 http://records.ancestry.com.au/allen_charles_aunger_records.ashx?pid=4474843 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/aunger_geoffrey_william.jpg Amelia Badcock died aged 66 yrs on 19 Feb 1918, wife of Richard Badcock who died aged 70 yrs on 21 June 1919 (1), making their respective years of birth c1852 and c1849. The Richard Badcock Marriage Index shows he was married in Adelaide in 1873 to Amelia
Allen (2). On the WikiTree website, Amelia Allen was born on July 30, 1851 in Wareham, Dorset, England, the daughter of John Allen and Jane Parker. After having 8 children with her husband Richard Badcock, she died February 19, 1918 in Gawler West SA (3). On the MyHeritage website, Richard Badcock was born in September 1848 in Abingdon, West Berkshire, UK to parents Paul and Sarah Anne Teakle. Richard died June 21, 1919 in Gawler West, SA (4). However, on the LDFS website, Richard Badcock was born in 1848 to parents Paul Badcock (b1824, died 19 Jul 1900 Exeter SA) and Sarah Anne Teakle (b1826, died 15 Sep 1911 Exeter), who had married on 21 Mar 1844 in Adelaide SA. [This makes it more likely to me that Richard Badcock was actually born in SA, and it was his parents who came from Dorset – JAS]. Richard Badcock aged 24 yrs was married on 18 Oct 1873 in Adelaide to Amelia Allen aged 22 yrs, b1852 but no further details given. Their children were [1] Eva Amelia Badcock born 25 Dec 1874 Gawler, died 20 Feb 1875 Gawler; [2] Bertram Allen Badcock born 4 May 1876 Gawler; [3] Elsie May Badcock born 20 Feb 1879 Gawler; [4] Amy Lillian Badcock born 4 May 1881 Gawler; [5] Effie Ann Badcock born 15 May 1886 Gawler Plains; [6] Florence Mytle Badcock born 1 Nov 1888 Gawler River; [7] Olive Ellen Badcock born 22 Jun 1891 Gawler River; [8] Eva Matilda Badcock born 16 Jan 1895 Gawler River (5). Although their other details are identical on the WikiTree and MyHeritage websites, their places of birth are not. The LDS site implies at least Richard was born in SA, and both Richard Badcock and Amelia Allen are recorded in the Births section of the SA bdm listing as shown through RootsWeb, as I’ll note below, making it fairly sure that both were actually born in SA, and not in England. On RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Richard Badcock was born c1849 and died aged 70 yrs on 21 Jun 1919 Gawler. Richard Badcock aged 24 yrs, born c1849, single, father Paul Badcock was married to Amelia Allen aged 22 yrs, born c1851, single, father John Allen) in the Wesleyan Parsonage, Pirie St Adelaide on the 18 Oct 1873 (6). Amelia Allen was born c1851 and died aged 66 yrs on 19 Feb 1918 in Gawler. Her father was John Allen (7). For both Richard and Amelia, their children are listed as I’ve already detailed above. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/badcock_amelia_&_richard.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFkY29jaw==&g=UmljaGFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Allen-12693 4 http://www.geni.com/people/Richard-Badcock/6000000017187571673 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I228889&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I331388 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I331389 904 Leonard Leslie Baehnisch died aged 63 yrs on 22 May 1985, husband of Melva, father of Bryan, Jennifer, Neville and Leanne (1). RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people has no records for Leonard Leslie Baehnisch, in fact, there’s no Baehnisch entries at all (2). Checking the WWII Nominal Roll shows the Service Record for Leonard Leslie Baehnisch, who was born 22 Jan 1922 at Eudunda SA, where he was living when he enlisted in the Australian Army on 16 Oct 1941, giving Rudolph (?Baehnisch) as his Next of Kin. Lance Corporal Baehnisch was discharge on 27 Mar 1946 from SC PW Camp (3). Back on RootsWeb, a wider search of the surname variations show that Lenhard[sic] Leslie Bahnisch[sic] was born 22 Jan 1922 in Eudunda SA to parents Rudolf Johannes Baehnisch and Melanne Bertha Hedwig Gebert (4), thus confirming the date of birth on the Army records. His father’s surname is spelt correctly but not his own. His marriage: Traeger— Baehnisch. The marriage of Melva Eileen, daughter of Mr and Mrs BA Traeger, of Cadell, to Leonard Leslie, second son of Mr and Mrs RJ Baehnisch, of Eudunda, will be solemnised at the Cadell Church on Saturday Nov 3, at 3.30 pm.

The Kevin Baehnisch Birth Index shows that Kevin Lionel Baehnisch was born in the Kapunda District in 1923 to parents Alfred Paul Martin Baehnisch and Lucy Ellen Smith (2). On the WWII Nominal Roll Kevin Lionel Baehnisch Service Record shows that he was born on 15 Jun 1923 in Eudunda SA and was living in Halbury SA when he enlisted in the Australian Army on 8 Dec 1942 at Wayville SA, giving as his Next of Kin Lucy Baehnisch. Sapper Baehnisch was discharged 18 Jun 1946 from 2 Aust Mech Equipt PL (3). On RootsWeb, Kevin Lionel Bahnisch[sic] was born 15 Jun 1923 Eudunda SA to parents Alfred Paul Martin Baehnisch and Lucy Ellen Smith (4). But despite exhaustive Trove searches of newspapers, I could not find the record of a marriage between Kevin Baehnisch and Iris May ___, so I cannot ascertain her maiden name. A Mundia search at Ancestry.com revealed Alma Bertha Alwine Baehnisch (1904 – 1993) Born SA, lived Mount Pleasant SA, died SA with 2 family members incl Kevin, and Paul Martin Alfred Baehnisch (1896 – 1927) Born SA, Died SA. 6 family incl Kevin Lionel, Lucy Ellen Atze, Rodney Malcolm (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baehnisch_iris_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFlaG5pc2No&g=S2V2aW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=690255 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I436480 5 http://www.mundia.com/au/Search/Results?surname=BAEHNISCH&birthPlace=Australia 906 Eleanor Mabel Bahr died aged 80 yrs on 18 Feb 1971; Gustav Adolph Bahr died aged 83 yrs on 30 Dec 1971 (1), making their years of birth c1891 and c1888 respectively. Lorna Elsie Bahr died aged 11 yrs and 11 mths on 7 April 1940, daughter of GA and EM Bahr (2). The Gustav Bahr Marriage Index shows that Gustave[sic] Adolph Bahr was married in the Gilbert District in 1925 to Eleanor Mabel Oliver (3). Lorna’s birth: “Bahr. On the 19th April, at the Hutchinson Hospital, to Mr and Mrs GA Bahr, of Wasleys, a daughter (Lorna Elsie).” The Advertiser, Thursday 17 May 1928 p5 (4). Lorna’s death: “Bahr. On the 7th of April, at Pinkerton Plains, near Wasleys, Lorna Elsie, beloved second daughter of Mr and Mrs GA Bahr, aged 11 years and 11 months. Sadly missed.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 11 April 1940 p23 (5). The search on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people for Gustav Adolph Bahr shows his birth on 25 Mar 1888 at Pinkerton Plains SA to parents John Heinrich Bahr (Johann Heinrich Gottlieb Bahr born c1842) and Mary Louisa Wedding (Maria Dorothea Louise Wedding born c1848). He died aged 83 years on 30 Dec 1971 in Adelaide, with relative listed as Eleanor Mabel Bahr (deceased wife). His last residence was in Gawler (6). Still on RootsWeb, Elanor[sic] Mabel Oliver was born on 10 Mar 1890 at Wasleys SA to parents Robert Hobkirk Oliver and Maria Jane Jenkins (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bahr_eleanor_mabel_&_gustav_adolph.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bahr_lorna_elsie.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFocg==&g=R3VzdGF2&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/49380914?searchTerm=Lorna%20Elsie%20Bahr&searchLimits=

His first name is misspelt at the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), where it is spelt ‘Laurance’ but the headstone says ‘Laurence’. The Laurence Bain Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Laurence Walter Bain was married in the Port Gawler District in 1922 to Gwendoline Melior[sic] Riggs (3). The search at RootsWeb for Gwendoline Melior Riggs shows that Melior Gwendoline Riggs was born in 1902 in Gawler to parents Frank William Riggs and Priscilla Jane Gill (4). According to the LDS data, Melior Gwendoline Riggs was born on 10 Jan 1902 Gawler to parents Frank William Riggs (born 18 Jul 1876 Gawler Plains) and Priscilla Jane Gill (born 9 Mar 1882 Hamley Bridge, died 9 Dec 1907 Gawler), who had married 8 Jul 1901 in Gawler (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bain_mellior_gwendoline_&_laurence_walter.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFpbg==&g=TGF1cmVuY2U=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I262933 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I12027&tree=SouthAustralia Kenneth Bain died aged 58 yrs on 19 Dec 1942; his wife Mary Bain died aged 94 yrs on 28 Nov 1978 (1), making their respective years of birth c1886 and c1882. The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Kenneth Bain was aged 56 yrs when he died (2), and I can see how that may appear, but it still looks more like 58 yrs to me. As we have discovered in note 678, Kenneth was actually born 1 Aug 1884, so he was really 58 years old when he died, we also found his wife’s name was Mary Ann Mead. The Kenneth Bain Marriage Index at GenealogySA confirms that in 1911, Kenneth Henry MacDurwant[sic] Bain married Mary Ann Mead in Adelaide (3). On RootsWeb, Keneth Henry Macderwin Bain is confirmed as being born on 1 Aug 1884 Yarrowie (Now Appila) SA to parents William Bain and Jane Pascoe (4). Mary Ann Mead does not exist on the RootsWeb site, although there is a Marian Agnes Dunbar Mead who was born 1884 (5). We must look elsewhere for confirmation. Kenneth Bain dies aged 58 years: “Bain. On December 19, Kenneth Henry, beloved husband of Mary Ann Bain of Smithfield, aged 58 years. At rest.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 24 December 1942 p10 (6). Using data from the LDS website, Mary Ann Mead was born in 1885 and was married on 21 Sep 1911 in Adelaide to Kenneth Henry MacDerwin Bain (who was born 1 Aug 1884 Yarrowie SA) (7). If the LDS data is correct, Mary Ann Bain was not 94 yrs old when she died, but at most 91 years old. The ‘all Bain’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Kenneth Henry Bain and Mary Ann Mead shows six children all born to Mary Ann Mead with father’s name varying as in brackets [1] Gilbert Lyall McDerwent Bain b1912 (Kenneth Henry McDerwent Bain) in Adelaide; [2] James Walter Bain b1915 (Kenneth Henry MacDerwant Bain) in Adelaide; [3] Jack Bain b1917 (Kenneth Henry Bain) in Adelaide; [4] Eileen Rachel Bain b1920 (Kenneth Henry MacDerwent Bain) in Adelaide; [5] Gweneth Mary Bain b1922 (Kenneth Henry Bain) in the Port Gawler District; [6] Clarence Robert Bain b1925 (Kenneth Henry McDurwant Bain) in the Port Gawler District (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bain_kenneth_&_mary.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFpbg==&g=S2VubmV0aA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I288919 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I121998 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92378881?searchTerm=Mead%20Kenneth%20Bain&searchLimits= 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I213600&tree=SouthAustralia 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFpbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Isabella Baker is the lone Baker sharing a headstone with four members of the Forgie family. One wonders if Isabella was somehow related to the Forgie family, and had married a Baker. Isabella Baker died aged 36 yrs on 4 Nov 1902 (1), making her year of birth c1866. The Isabella Forgie Marriage Index on GenealogySA shows that Isabella Forgie married Arthur James Baker in 1894 in the Barossa District (2). Turning to RootsWeb, Isabella Forgie was born on 19 Apr 1866 in Gawler to parents Alexander Forgie and Sarah Ann Cheek (3). Alexander Forgie was born on 6 Oct 1832 (father was Thomas Forgie) at North Broome, Stirling, Scotland, and died aged 69 yrs on 23 Apr 1902 in Gawler SA. He had arrived in SA in 1854 and was a carpenter, builder and undertaker who had lived at Mt Gambier, Angaston and in Gawler. He was married aged 26 yrs on 28 Jul 1859 in Gawler to Sarah Ann Cheek aged 20 yrs (born 2 Jun 1839 Halse, Somerset, England, died 13 Apr 1896 Gawler). Their nine children, all born in Gawler, were [1] Thomas Forgie born 26 May 1860, died 22 Apr 1861 Gawler; [2] Alexander Philip Forgie born 3 Feb 1862, died 3 Sep 1939 Gawler; [3] James Forgie born 29 Mar 1864, died 1944; [4] Isabella Baker nee Forgie born 19 Apr 1866, died 1902 Gawler; [5] Robert Forgie born 13 Mar 1868, died 1928; [6] Emily Jane Wright nee Forgie born 30 May 1870, died 1942; [7] Matthew Wilson Forgie born 5 Nov 1876, died 1934; [8] Henry Thomas Forgie born 6 Mar 1879, died 1951; [9] Ellen Flockart Fitzgerald nee Forgie born 9 Aug 1883, died 1961 (4). Still on the LDS website, there is further information on this family: Sarah Ann Cheek’s parents were Robert Cheek and Jane Fry. Of the children: [2] Alexander Philip Forgie was married on 27 May 1886 at Redhill SA to Ada Sarah Gale; [3] James Forgie was married on 22 Mar 1890 in Payneham SA to Frances Nina Crump; [4] Isabella Forgie was married on 21 Jun 1894 in Gawler to Arthur James Baker; [5] Robert Forgie was married on 19 Jan 1901 at Glenelg SA to Florence Wilkinson; [6] Emily Jane Forgie was married on 1 Apr 1896 in Gawler to George Cavenagh Wright; [7] Matthew Wilson Forgie was married on 20 Mar 1902 in Gawler to Amy Parnell Annells (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baker_isabella.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Rm9yZ2ll&g=SXNhYmVsbGE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I718341 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I151832&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F45654&tree=SouthAustralia John James Baker died aged 36 yrs on 30 March 1892 “Our Dear Father – his sons and daughters” (1), making his year of birth c1856. According to the LDS data, John James Baker was born in 1852 {which makes him 39 or even 40 yrs when he died} to father William Baker, and died aged 37 {?} yrs on 30 Mar 1892 nr Mallala SA. John James Baker was a farmer who had lived in Smithfield and Lower Light. John James Baker was married aged 23 yrs on 13 Oct 1875 at Port Gawler to Mary Dorothy Smith aged 19 yrs, she was born 21 Jan 1857 Adelaide. Mary Dorothy Baker nee Smith remarried after John’s death to become Mrs Marshman. John James Baker and Mary Dorothy Smith had 9 children [1] Herbert Gilbert Baker born 14 Jul 1876 Two Wells SA; [2] Amy Winifred Victoria Baker born 26 Oct 1877 Port Gawler; [3] Elsie Rose Beatrice Baker born 26 Mar 1879 Reeves Plains SA; [4] Percival John Baker born 5 Jun 1880 SA; [5] Horace Pettmann Baker born 4 Mar 1882 Two Wells; [6] Ruby Florence May Baker born 19 May 1883 Port Gawler; [7] Leslie William Baker born 3

Further information at LDS on this family: The parents of Mary Dorothy Smith were William Smith and Caroline Pitman. Of the children, [2] Amy Winifred Victoria Baker was married on 19 Mar 1902 Dublin SA to Alfred Worden; [3] Elsie Rose Beatrice Baker was married on 16 Oct 1900 in Mallala to Albert John Palmer; [4] Percival John Baker was married on 26 Sep 1901 Shannon SA to Grace Maud Meek; [6] Ruby Florence May Baker was married on 8 Feb 1905 Long Plains SA to Jephthah Robert Lawrie; [7] Leslie William Baker was married on 30 Oct 1902 Adelaide to Guenhilda Ethel Meyer; [8] Pearl Natalie Grace Baker was married on 5 Apr 1913 Norwood to William Joseph Ebbs; [9] Allen Edward Baker was married 6 Aug 1908 Dublin to Sophia Amy Taylor (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baker_john_james.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I34208&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F8762&tree=SouthAustralia Brenton James Baker was born on __ Aug 1958 and died 1 July 2007 (1). Unfortunately the photo of the headstone was taken through several vases of floweres which could have been moved just long enough to take a decent picture. Most genealogy sources only release data up to the mid-1920s and even Trove usually only goes up to the mid-1950s, so I’m stuck with knowing what is behind those flowers. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baker_brenton_james.jpg Beatrice Maude Baker died aged 78 yrs on 9 June 1981 (1), making her year of birth c1903. There are no clues as to whether Baker was her maiden name, married name or married again name, and no family is noted on the headstone. There is no suitable Beatrice Maud Baker on GenealogySA’s Birth Index, nor on the ‘all Baker’ Marriage Index, but the Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing the the Advertiser newspaper shows one for Beatrice Maud Baker on 10 June 1981 (2). No luck on Trove, on the LDS site, nor on RootsWeb. So Beatrice Maude Baker remains a mystery, perhaps a relative from interstate or overseas, or the names have varied somehow. I have followed up quite a few leads but I’m not really any closer 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baker__beatrice_maud.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html Lindsay Gordon Baker died aged 70 yrs on 21 July 1981, husband of Patricia Mary (1), making his year of birth c1911. On the RootsWeb site for SA births, Lindsay Gordon Baker was born 26 Oct 1910 in Lyndoch to parents Peter Baker and Anna MariaPauline Kruger (2). This family was discussed in Note 21, but Lindsay Gordon Baker was only mentioned as a ‘Living’ child, born too late for LDS to mention. On GenealogySA’s ‘all Baker’ Marriage Index, we find that Lindsay Gordon Baker was married in the Barossa District in 1933 to Patricia Mary Wood (3), confirming the details on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baker_lindsay_gordon.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I437299 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFrZXI=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Walter Percival Baker died aged 65 yrs on 29 Jan 1976; his wife Sylvia Grace Baker died aged 86 yrs on 17 April 1997 (1), making their years of birth both c1911. On GenealogySA’s ‘all Baker’ Marriage Index, we find that Walter Percival Baker was married in the Murray District in 1934 to Sylvia Grace Smith (2). Turning to RootsWeb, we find that Walter Percival Baker was born on 4 Aug 1910 in Parilla SA to parents Percival John Baker and Grace Maud Meek (3). Still on RootsWeb, Sylvia Grace Smith was born on 21 Mar 1911 in Gawler to parents Joseph Smith and Sarah Curtis (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baker_walter_percival_&_sylvia_grace.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFrZXI=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I437289 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I660463 Caroline Baldock died aged 85 yrs on 15 Nov 1939; wife of Thomas Baldock who died aged 84 yrs on 8 Jan 1943 (1), making their respective years of birth c1854 and c1859. The Thomas Baldock Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows he was married in 1880 to Caroline Chard in the Nairne District (2). On the LDS website, Thomas Baldock was born in 1858 in SA, occupation labourer who died on 8 Jan 1943 SA. His parents were James Baldock (b1824, died 2 Jun 1908 in Gawler) and Catherine Fleming (b1827, died 10 Apr 1910 Terowie SA). Thomas Baldock was married aged 22 yrs on 1 Sep 1880 at Woodside SA to Caroline Chard aged 26 yrs (b1854 England, died 15 Nov 1939 SA whose parents were William Chard and Martha Sherrin). The children of Thomas and Caroline Baldock, all born in Gawler, were [1] William James Baldock born 8 Feb 1882, died 28 Jun 1889 Gawler; [2] Florence Sawley nee Baldock born 24 Oct 1883; [3] Walter Baldock born 3 Oct 1885; [4] Ethel May Baldock born 21 Sep 1887; [5] Edith Alice Baldock born 29 Jul 1891; [6] Catherine Martha Baldock born 21 Jul 1895 (3). An excerpt from “Memories—Turning Back the Veil: Memories of Other Days from the Records of Old Gawler Residents, arranged by the Gawler Pensioners Society for 'The Bunyip': Mr Thomas Baldock” shows that “Mr T Baldock, son of the late Mr and Mrs Jas Baldock who arrived in this State in 1839, was born at Evanston, Gawler West, on 11th January, 1858. Mr Baldock has spent the 81 years of his life in Gawler. ..... Mr Baldock married Miss Chard, daughter of Mr and Mrs W Chard, of Woodside, who arrived in this Stale in 1858. They had a family of six children, five living.” Bunyip, Friday 9 December 1938 p9 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baldock_caroline_&_thomas.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFsZG9jaw==&g=VGhvbWFz&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I186838&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96686506?searchTerm=Baldock&searchLimits=l-title=371 John Baldock died aged 79 yrs on 9 Sept 1968; Jane Baldock died aged 86 yrs on 10 Dec 1976 (1), making their respective years of birth c1889 and c1890. Are these two a married couple or are they siblings or cousins? The headstone does not tell us. The John Baldock Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows two possible marriages of John and Jane [1] John Augusta Baldock and Ruby Jane Evans in 1917 in the Hindmarsh District; {2} John Baldock and Martha Jane Window in 1912 in the Barossa District (2). The John Baldock Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when he died in 1968 in Gawler, his nominated relative was his wife Martha Jane Baldock. Out of interest, John Augusta Baldock died in Adelaide in 1947 (3). Although I cannot find John Baldock on RootsWeb, Martha Jane Window was born on 1 Aug 1894 in Gawler to parents Alfred William James Window and Hannah Warner (4). If this is so, Jane Baldock was only 82 yrs old, not 86 yrs old when she died, so I’d need confirmation before being convinced even that Jane Baldock was Martha Jane Window anyway. There is some evidence for this link by “Death: Window: On October 16th at Adelaide, Alfred William, dearly beloved husband of the late Hannah Window and loving father of Jane (Mrs Baldock), Jim, and Nell (Mrs Hanson), and Amy (deceased). Aged 80 years. At rest.” Bunyip, Friday 24 October 1947 p4 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baldock_john_&_jane.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFsZG9jaw==&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QmFsZG9jaw==&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA==

The John Baldwin Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that John Thomas Baldwin was married in 1878 to Elizabeth Martyn in the Clare District (2). Using RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we find that John Thomas Baldwin was born on 3 Jul 1856 in York (now Beverley), Adelaide SA to parents James Baldwin and Charlotte Vizard (3). Still on RootsWeb, there was no Elizabeth Martyn birth in SA but there was an Elizabeth Martin in the right time frame, she being born on 4 Aug 1858 in Monster[sic] SA to parents John Martin and Rosa Quin (4). As a cross-reference, we turn to the LDS data to find that John Thomas Baldwin was born on 3 Jul 1856 at Yorketown SA and died 31 Jul 1905 nr Willaston SA. His parents were James Baldwin (born 18 Jan 1830 Leighterton, Gloucestershire, England, died 21 Jan 1911 Norwood SA) and Margaret Vizard (b1828 Leighterton, Gloucestershire, died 6 Oct 1880 Walloway SA), who had married on 27 May 1851 at Leighterton. John Thomas Baldwin lived in Yongala SA where he was married aged 22 yrs on 31 Oct 1878 to Elizabeth Martin aged 20 yrs (b1858 Somerset, England). Their children were [1] Amy Margaret Baldwin born 1 Oct 1879 Walloway SA; [2] Frederick James Baldwin born 25 Dec 1880 Walloway; [3] Matilda May Baldwin born 3 Jan 1883 Walloway; [4] Frances Sarah Baldwin born 14 Jan 1885 Walloway; [5] Elsie Ada Baldwin born 15 May 1887 Orroroo SA: [6] Hartley Norman Baldwin born 5 Jun 1894 nr Saddleworth SA (5). Still using the LDS data, Elizabeth Martin was born in 1858 Somerset, England and an attached note says that her surname was also spelt Martyn (6). Although there is a small concern that Elizabeth Martin appears on the SA births register but LDS says she was born in England, I’m reasonably certain we have the correct family, and the birth dates match their ages at their death dates 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baldwin_john_thomas_&_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFsZHdpbg==&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I291244 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I147246 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I212598&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I212599&tree=SouthAustralia 918 Edith May Ballinger died aged 27 yrs on 5 Jan 1900; her mother-in-law Susan Ballinger died aged 72 yrs on 24 July 1905 (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery names Edith May as Edit May (2), although the headstone has her as Edith. To find out the maiden name of Edith May Ballinger, we need to look at GenealogySA’s Marriage index. The ‘all Ballinger’ Marriage Index seeking a marriage between a bridegroom Ballinger and a bride Edith May reveals that Charles Henry Ballinger was married in 1899 to Edith May Francis in Adelaide (3). The Charles Ballinger Birth Index shows some interesting results: in 1869 Charles Ballanger[sic] was born to parents Charles Ballanger and Susan Sullivan in the Clare District; in 1870 Charles Ballinger was born to parents Charles Ballinger and Susan Sullivan in the Clare District; then in 1912 Charles Vincent Carmel was born to parents Charles Henry Ballinger and Mary Ann Beck in the Clare District (4). My postulation is that in 1969, Susan and Charles had a son Charles who died’ and the following year 1870, they had another son also called Charles. This was Charles Henry Ballinger who must have remarried after his first wife Edith May Ballinger died in 1900. To prove all this, we need to see if a child Charles Ballinger died in 1869-70, and Charles Henry married Mary Ann Beck after 1900. The Charles Ballinger Death Index shows he died in 1869 in the Clare District with nominated relative his father Charles Ballinger (5). The Charles Ballinger Marriage Index shows that Charles Henry Ballinger was married in 1910 to Mary Anne[sic] Beck in the Clare District (6). So all this fits the postulation. Turning to the LDS website, we find that Charles Ballinger was born in 1835 in Ireland, arrived in SA 1853 aboard the California lived in Clare and died on 20 Nov 1882 in Clare SA. He was married on 9 April 1861 to Susan Sullivan who was b1832, and died 24 Jul 1905 at Smithfield SA. Their children, all born in Clare, included [1] William Ballinger born 20 May 1863, d1929; [2] Ellen Ballinger born 3 Jun 1866; [3] Charles Ballinger born 13 Jul 1869, died 14 Jul 1869 Clare; [4] Charles Henry Ballinger born 7 Nov 1870, d1939; [5] Ann Ballinger born 16 Dec 1873; [6] Florence Mary Ballinger born 27 Apr 1877, died 1 Aug 1878 Clare (7). Still on the LDS website, Charles Henry Ballinger was born on 7 Nov 1870 in Clare, died 20 May 1939, and is buried at Sevenhill SA. He was married on 12 Apr 1899 in North Adelaide to Edith May Francis who was born in 1873 and died on 5 Jan 1900 Smithfield. They had a child Edith Clare Ballinger born 29 Dec 1899 Smithfield. Subsequent to Susan’s 1900 death, widower Charles Henry Ballinger aged 39 yrs was married on 28 Jul 1910 at Sevenhills to Mary Anne Beck aged 32 yrs who was born 24 Mar 1878 Watervale SA and died 16 Aug 1958 in Clare SA. Charles Henry and Mary Anne Ballinger had at least the following children [2] Mary Sabina Ballinger born 29 Jul 1911 Clare, died 29 Jul 1911 Clare; [3] Carmel Ballinger d1965, Horace Ballinger b1919, d1977 (8). Edith marries: “Marriages. Ballinger—Francis. On the 12th April, at St Mary's Church, Lower North Adelaide, by the Rev Father Hurley, Charles H Ballinger, to Edith M Francis (both late of Clare).” The Advertiser, Monday 1 May 1899 p4 (9). Edith’s death: “Ballinger. On the 5th January, at Smithfield, Edith May, beloved wife of CH Ballinger, and daughter of J Francis, Walkerville, late of Clare, aged 26 years.” South Australian Register, Monday 8 January 1900 p4 (p10). This tells us that Edith May was maybe 26 yrs old (in her 27th yr) when she died and was a daughter of J Francis. Searching on RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people doesn’t yield an Edith May Francis (11). Edith’s husband dies: “Obituary: The Late Mr CH Ballinger. Mr CH Ballinger passed away on Saturday last after a lengthy lingering illness. He became ill about three years ago, and at times suffered severely, and as his illness progressed gradually became weaker. ..... Mr Ballinger was married twice, firstly to Miss Francis, of Clare, and secondly to Miss Beck of Watervale.

birth both c1837. There is no Marriage Index on GenealogySA for John Bameke (2). Although John Henry Bameke who died aged 55 yrs in 1892 and Mary Bameke who died aged 37 yrs in 1874 appear as Memorial Inscriptions at Willaston Cemetery as seen on the ‘all Bameke’ search on GenealogySA’s ‘South Australia Cemeteries’, the Burial Register has their names as Bomeke, not Bameke (3). The ‘all Bameke’ Birth Index shows the offspring of John Henry Bomeke, all born in the Barossa District, as [1] William Edward Bomeke b1865 to parents Henry Bomeke and Mary Byrth; [2] Caroline Therese Bomeke b1867 to parents Heinrich Bomeke and Marie Byrt; [3] John Henry Bomeke b1869 to parents John Henry Bomeke and Mary Byrth; [4] Mary Jane Bomeke b1871 to parents John Henry Bomeke and Mary Jane Bytrch; [5] Carl Joseph Bomeke b1871 to parents John Henry Bomeke and Mary Jane Bytrch; [6] Emma Martha Bomeke b1873 to parents John Henry Bomeke and Mary Byrth; [7] Peter Henry Bomeke b1877 to parents Johann Heinrich Bomeke and Margaret (fmly) McSweeney (nee) Kenny (4), this last birth with John Henry Bomeke’s second wife after his first wife Mary died. John Henry Bomeke (the son) was born on 29 Jun 1869 in Shea-Oak Log SA to John Henry Bomeke and Mary Byrth. He died aged 2 yrs old on 6 Oct 1871 Gawler Belt SA, with his father listed as Henry Bomeke (5) 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bameke_john_henry_&_mary.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFtZWtl&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmFtZWtl&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFtZWtl&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I284401 920 George Henry Bammann died aged 95 yrs on 15 Jan 1961; his wife Gesina Bammann died aged 94 yrs on 1 Dec 1963; their daughter Kathleen Adelheid Bammann died aged 73 yrs on 14 Oct 1985 (1), making their years of birth c1866, c1869 and c1908 respectively. The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Kathleen Adelheid Bammann’s second name on the headstone is Adelfeid (2) but it is really Adelheid on the headstone. According to the data on the LDS website, George Henry Bammann was born on 28 Jan 1865 at Morphett Vale SA to parents Georg Heinrich Diedrich Bammann (b1824, died 20 Nov 1900 Para Plains SA) and Emma Bormann (b1828, died 9 Jun 1906 East Adelaide), who had married on 3 May 1857 in Adelaide. George Henry Bammann, who died in Jan 1961 at Gawler, was a farmer who had lived at Salisbury, Paskeville, Roseworthy, and Gawler. He was married aged 38 yrs on 1 Sep 1903 at the residence of A Bussenschutt, Salisbury to Gesine Bussenschutt aged 33 yrs (born 20 Sep 1869 Para Plains to parents Albert Bussenschutt and Adelheid Koch, and she died 1 Dec 1963 Gawler). They had at least 2 ‘living’ children, but the extra notes say that their children were [1] Heinrich Bammann b1904; [2] George Bammann b1906, d1981; [3] Eitel Bammann b1907, d1981; [4] Kathleen Adelheid Bammann b1908; [5] Felix Bammann b1912; [6] Gesina Day nee Bammann b1913 (3). This means that Kathleen Adelheid Bammann died aged 77 yrs, not 73 yrs as appears on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). In fact the Kathleen Bammann search at GenealogySA’s ‘South Australia Cemeteries’ for Willaston Cemetery shows on the Kathleen Adelheid Bammann Memorial Inscription that she was 77 yrs old when she died in 1985 (4). Using the RootsWeb site, it shows that Kathleen Adelheid Bammann was born on 22 Jul 1908 in Kadina SA to parents George Henry Bammann and Gesina Bussenschutt (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bammann_george_henry,_gesina_&_kathleen_adelhfid.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I27640&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmFtbWFubg==&g=S2F0aGxlZW4=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I438482 921 Maciej Banel was born 30 June 1874 and died 28 April 1954 (1), although the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Maciej Banel died in May (V) (2), when the headstone says April (IV). Domicela Banel was born 23 May 1873 and died 4 May 1951 (3), but on those dates, Domicela Banel was still only 77 years old at death, not 78 yrs as appears on the “B” data page (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/banel_maciej.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/banel_domicela.jpg 922 Massimo Baraglia died aged 63 yrs on 22 Aug 1963; his wife Maria Baraglia died aged 82 yrs on 18 April 1983; parents of Giula, Vittorio [dec’d] and Aldo (1). Vittorio Baraglia died aged 33 yrs on 13 June 1963; father of Gillian, Angela, Karen and Vallerie (2), but no wife is mentioned. There is not a lot of information about this family, but we know they lived at Williamstown SA: “Baraglia -- Della-Mina. The engagement is announced of Giulia, the only daughter of Mr and Mrs M Baraglia of Williamstown, to Natale, eldest son of Mr and Mrs G Della Mina, of Littlehampton.” The Advertiser, Friday 17 May 1946 p16 (3). “I, Massimo Baraglia, of Italian nationality, born at Mello, Italy, and resident 10 years in Australia, now residing at Williamstown, South Australia, intend to apply for naturalisation under the Nationality Act. 1920-1936.” News (Adelaide), Tuesday 9 April 1940 p2 (4). “I, Albina Maria Baraglia, of Italian nationality, born at Mello in Italy, resident in Australia for 15 years, now residing at Williamstown, South Australia intend to apply for naturalisation under the Nationality and Citizenshin Act 1948-1952.” News (Adelaide), Tuesday 7 September 1954 p30 (5). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser Newspaper shows one for Maria Albina Baraglia on 20 April 1983 (6). At a website called The Lang and Saxby Family History, there is a page for Massimo Baraglia, his wife Maria and their son Vittorio (7). Vittorio Baraglia was married to Bethleen Cynthia Lindholm and had the following children [1] Gillian Rose Baraglia; [2] Angela Vicky Baraglia; [3] Karen Maria Baraglia; [4] Valerie Ann Baraglia (8). Bethleen Cynthia Lindholm’s parents were Martin Otto Lindholm (born 1 Dec 1903 Dutton SA, d1989 Angaston SA) and Wanda Agnes Lange (born 25 Apr 1907 Moppa SA, died 18 May 2012 Nuriootpa SA), who had married 12 Apr 1928 at Greenock SA. Bethleen Cynthia Lindholm’s first husband was Vittorio Baraglia, with whom she had the four children as above. Her second husband was Kevin Robert Brooks, with whom she had two further children [5] Michelle Grace Brooks; [6] Penelope Ellen Brooks (9). According to data on the National Archives of Australia website, Massimo Baraglia was born 6 February 1900 in Italy (10), and Maria Albina Baraglia nee Martinelli was born 14 July 1900 arrived in Adelaide aboard the Remo with Giulia aged 11 yrs, Vittorio aged 9 yrs on 10 March 1939 (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baraglia_massimo_&_maria.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baraglia_vittorio.jpg 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35694996?searchTerm=Baraglia&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/131527167?searchTerm=Baraglia&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/130984735?searchTerm=Baraglia&searchLimits= 6 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 7 http://www.easygensolutions.com/tng/getperson.php?personID=I1072&tree=tree1 8 http://www.easygensolutions.com/tng/getperson.php?personID=I1071&tree=tree1 9 http://www.easygensolutions.com/tng/getperson.php?personID=I1070&tree=tree1 10 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=7003757&isAv=N

The Frederick Barber Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1907 Frederick Josiah Barber was married to Sarah Lillian Harris in the Barossa District (2). Using the website for RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we learn that Frederick Josiah Barber was born on 2 Jun 1886 in Williamstown SA to parents Frederick Barber and Emily Stanley (3). Still on RootsWeb, Sarah Lillian Harris was born on 16 Mar 1888 in Willaston SA to parents George Harris and Sarah Jane Schumann (4). The ‘all Barber’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Frederick Josiah Barber and Sarah Lillian Harris shows five daughters all born in the Barossa District [1] Mavis Robena Barber b1908; [2] Beryl Joyce Barber b1910; [3] Lillian Mearl Barber b1912; [4] Clarice Lille Jane Barber b1914; [5] Lorrel May Harris Barber b1918 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barber_frederick_josiah_&_sarah_lillian.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFyYmVy&g=RnJlZGVyaWNr&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I292677 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I50135 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFyYmVy&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 924 Jessie Barclay died aged 35 yrs on 28 March 1942; wife of H Barclay, mother of Ian and Barry (1). The H Barclay Marriage Index shows three H Barclay marriages on GenealogySA but none to a Jessie, and none after 1916 (2). The Jessie Barclay Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when she died in 1942, her nominated relative was her husband Norman Barclay (3), which makes me re-look at the headstone and I have misread N Barclay as H Barclay. The Norman Barclay Marriage Index shows that in 1928 Norman Barclay married Jessie McLeod in the Encounter Bay District (4). On the RootsWeb site of SA Births, there are 2 possible births with the name Jessie McLeod who could have been 35 yrs old or in their 35th year in March 1942, and this is the Jessie McLeod who was born on 20 Nov 1905 in Borroloola SA to parents Arthur McLeod and Bunnie (maiden name unrecorded (4), OR the Jessie McLeod who was born on 15 May 1906 in Balaklava SA to parents Lachlan Robert McLeod and Susan Dyer (5). Now we need to find on Trove an engagement or marriage notice that gives one of Jessie’s parent’s names. “Weddings: Barclay — McLeod. There was a large crowd at the Newland Memorial Church, Victor Harbour, on Saturday evening at the marriage of "Miss Victor'' Miss Jessie McLeod, second daughter of Mr and Mrs L Robert McLeod, of King-street, Gawler, to Mr Norman Barclay, second son of Mr and Mrs Samuel Barclay, of Dimboola-street, Kensington. The Rev JD Northey officiated. .... .“ The Advertiser, Thursday 11 October 1928 p10 (6), so now we can be sure that Jessie Barclay nee McLeod was born on 15 May 1906 in Balaklava SA 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barclay_jessie.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFyY2xheQ==&g=SA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QmFyY2xheQ==&g=SmVzc2ll&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I424077 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I254467 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/73721638?searchTerm=McLeod%20Barclay&searchLimits= 925 Edward John (Ted) Barker - the link to see this headstone is disabled, so we must rly just on what is written The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (1), which says that Edward John (Ted) Barker died aged 85 yrs on 19 Sept 1989, making his year of birth c1904. The Edward Barker Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Edward John Barker was married in 1933 in the Barossa District to Rose Lena Boehm (2). The link to see the headstone of Rose Lena Barker is working and fortunately shows the details for her husband Edward John Barker as well. Edward John (Ted) Barker died aged 85 yrs on 19 Sept 1989; his wife Rose Lena Barker died aged 90 yrs on 7 Aug 1996, parents of Douglas, Max and Margaret (3). The RootsWeb site says that Edward John Barker was born on 25 Apr 1904 in Gawler Plains to parents Alfred Barker and Edith Emma Hatcher (4). Still on RootsWeb, there is no record of Rose Lena Boehm. The ‘all Barker’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Edward John Barker and Rose Lena Boehm showed no children (5). The sad facts of Rose Lena Boehm’s early life make it hard for us to even imagine. It is to her great credit that she survived and lived to 90 yrs of age. She was adopted and took the surname of her adoptive parents, so we’ll not be able to find her date of birth under her real birth name, and we must accept that it was c1906, from her given age in the court report below (6), and on her headstone. Maybe the family has a record of her correct date of birth. “Narracoorte Police Court: Monday, July 13, (Before Messrs ER Peake and A Caldwell, Justices). Rose Lena Boehm, aged eight years, was charged on the information of the police with being a neglected child under the guardianship of Herman Henry Charles Boehm. MC Northridge gave evidence that he visited the house of HHC Boehm in Narracoorte, and found the child in a neglected state, and the surroundings of the dwelling house in a bad condition, and unfit for habitation. It was explained that Boehm and his wife had adopted the child when a baby, and that Mrs Boehm had died some time ago, and there was no one to give the child proper attention. The relatives of the child were unknown. MC Vears corroborated this evidence. The Court ordered the child to the Industrial School at Edwardstown.” The Narracoorte Herald, Friday 17 July 1914 p3 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFya2Vy&g=RWR3YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barker_edward_john_%28ted%29_&_rose_lena.jpg 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I293067 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFya2Vy&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/147235530?searchTerm=Rose%20Lena%20boehm&searchLimits= 926 Joseph William Barker died aged 57 yrs on 14 Nov 1963; his wife Ella Maud Barker died aged 83 yrs on 7 June 1985 (1). The Joseph William Barker Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Joseph William Barker was married in 1937 in the Port Gawler District to Ella Maud Mackereth (2). Turning to the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Ella Maud Mackereth was born on 17 Jul 1901 near Freeling SA to parents Henry Thomas Mackereth and Elisabeth Ann Stevens (3), but there is no mention of Joseph William Barker, which has been a common theme of the Barkers around this era. A search on the World War Two Nominal Roll shows that Joseph William Barker was born on 12 Aug 1906 in Johannesburg, South Africa which explains the difficulty finding his early records on the South Australian lists. He was living in Wasleys SA when he enlisted on 17 Apr 1942 in the Australian Army at Roseworthy SA, giving as his next of kin Ella Barker. Sergeant Joseph William Barker was discharge on 20 Oct 1945 from the 10 Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barker_joseph_william_&_ella_maud.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFya2Vy&g=Sm9zZXBo&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I252350 4 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=729051 Joseph William Barker died aged 57 yrs on 14 Nov 1963; his wife Ella Maud Barker died aged 83 yrs on 7 June 1985 (1).

The Leonard Barker Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Leonard Herbert Barker was married in Adelaide in 1930 to Laurel Mavis Sheriff (3). Using the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Leonard Herbert Barker was born on 15 Oct 1907 in Smithfield SA to parents Alfred James Baker[sic] and Edith Emma Hatcher (4), and Laurel Mavis Sheriff was born on 11 Apr 1910 in Gawler to parents Frank Edward Albert Sheriff and Rose Alice Hannah Stevens (5). Finding their dates of death is much harder until we can see the Willaston Cemetery Burial Register. Leonard’s date of death is found: In researching Alfred James Barker, we find he was the son of Alfred Barker and Priscilla Chambers who were Kangaroo Island Pioneers. Children of Alfred James Barker and Edith Emma Hatcher were [1] Emily Irene (Rene) Barker was born 1900 in Smithfield, SA and died 1978 in SA; [2] Alfred Charles Barker was born 1901 in Smithfield, SA and died 1986 in SA; [3] Stella Evelyn Barker was born 1902 in Peachy Belt, SA and died 1982; [4] Edward John Barker was born 1904 in Smithfield, SA; [5] Ida Edith Barker was born 1905 in SA and died 1981 in SA; [6] Leonard Herbert Barker was born 1907 in Smithfield, SA and died 19 Nov 1987; [7] Kenneth Richard (Bunny) Barker was born 1909 in Smithfield, SA and died 2006 in SA; [8] Monna Lilias Barker was born 1911 in Smithfield, SA and died 2006 in SA; [9] Angus Bert Barker was born 1914 in SA and died 1991 in SA; [10] Ronald James Barker was born 1918 in SA.

A similar search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery notes that the Burial Register has Jack Arthur Barnes aged 65 yrs (3). Unfortunately RootsWeb has no Jack, John or Arthur Barnes b1922, although it does have Fredrick John Barnes born 6 Jan 1922 in Croydon SA to parents William John Barnes and Elizabeth Marion Grigg (4), and Arthur William Barnes born 20 Nov 1922 in Alberton, Adelaide SA to parents William Leslie Barnes and Ricai Margurita Fenton Smith (5).

According to the information found at the LDS website, Robert Barnfield was born in 1820 (his father was Isaac Barnfield), and died aged 62 yrs on 9 Sep 1882 at Willaston SA. He had arrived in SA in 1849 aboard the Branken Moor, and was by occupation a publican and councillor, who had resided at Gawler River and then Willaston. He was first married before 1850 to Mary Smith who was born c1825, d 15 Nov 1856 and buried at Gawler [JAS note: Mary Barnfield aged 31 yrs d1856 as noted on Panel 4 of the Pioneer Park Memorial (2).]. Their children included [1] Selina Mary Barnfield born 26 May 1850 Gawler, died 13 Jan 1939 SA; [2] William Barnfield born 14 Oct 1852 Gawler River. Robert Barnfield aged 36 yrs was next married on 1 Dec 1856 in Adelaide to Mary O'Brien aged 20 yrs (b1836, died 14 Jul 1914 Eastwood SA). From this second marriage, there were 9 children [1] Mary Ann Barnfield born 30 Jul 1857 Port Gawler; [2] Joseph Barnfield born 12 Oct 1858 Gawler River; [3] Eli Albert Barnfield born 11 Mar 1862 Port Gawler; [4] Esther Barnfield born 7 Jun 1860 Port Gawler; [5] Margaret Catherine Barnfield born 27 Sep 1864 Port Gawler; [6] John Barnfield born 22 Jan 1868 Gawler River, died 22 Jul 1909 Gawler; [7] Robert Barnfield born 9 Jan 1871 Willaston, died 25 Jun 1881 Willaston; [8] William Barnfield born 19 Jun 1874 Willaston, died 3 Sep 1909 Adelaide; [9] Augustine Barnfield born 14 May 1880 Willaston (3). Further information at LDS for the family of Robert Barnfield and Mary Smith tells us that their daughter Selina Mary Barnfield was married on 14 Aug 1873 in Gawler to Carroll Daly (4). For the family of Robert Barnfield and Mary O'Brien, LDS has more information on the children [1] Mary Ann Barnfield was married on 8 May 1881 in Gawler to Thomas Michael Delany; [3] Eli Albert Barnfield was married on 6 May 1889 in Norwood to Sarah Ann Jolly; [4] Esther Barnfield was married twice {1} on 18 Jan 1883 in Gawler to Edwin Pegler; and {2} on 16 Dec 1908 in Uley SA to Albert Edward Wright; [5] Margaret Catherine Barnfield was married on 21 Dec 1884 in Adelaide to George Sandercock; [6] John Barnfield was married on 13 Jul 1897 in Adelaide to Annie Maria Lucas (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/barnfield_robert,_mary,_robert,_john_&_william.jpg 2 http://headstones.weebly.com/gawler-old-pioneer-park.html 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I211377&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F69713&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F65360&tree=SouthAustralia Fred died aged 55 yrs on 8 June 1972 (1), but fortunately the photo is labelled as ‘bartel_fred’, we wouldn’t know from the headstone which just has the inscription ‘also their son’. It may be clear at the graveside to whom ‘their’ refers, but it would have been better to include some identifier, maybe from a more distant shot. From Note 52 we learned that Charles Bartel and Minnie Bertha Margaret
Cordes had a son in 1916 named Fredrich Allen Bartel. Turning to RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we find that Fredrich Allen Bartel was born on 24 Jul 1916 at Roseworthy SA to parents Charles Bartel and Minna Bertha Cordes (2). Another son of Charles and Minna Bartel identified in Note 52 was Ross Sydney Bartel whose headstone reads Ross Sydney Bartel was born 9 Jan 1912 and died 11 March 1991, husband of Grace, father of Claire and Toppy (Margaret) (3). There is a Mary Grace Bartel mentioned on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (4), so she maybe is the Grace who was married to Ross Sydney. Mary Grace Bartel was born on 6 Nov 1911 and died 26 Oct 1996, wife of Ross (5). The Ross Bartel Marriage Index on GenealogySA shows that in 1937 Ross Sydney Bartel married Mary Grace Thomson in Gawler (6). Back to RootsWeb, Ross Sydney Bartel was born on 9 Jan 1912 in Roseworthy to parents Charles Bartel and Minna Bertha Margaret Cordes (7), confirming the date on his headstone. Mary Grace Thomson was born on 6 Nov 1911 in Willaston to parents Alexander David Thomson and Emily Louisa Stena Lucas (8), confirming her date of birth on the headstone also. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartel_fred.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I440634 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartel_ross_sydney.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartel_mary_grace.jpg 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFydGVs&g=Um9zcw==&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I440622 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I677994 931 Bruno Bartel 1894 – 1955; Sylvia Bartel 1904 – 1978; parents of Lindsay, Colin (dec’d), Max, Shirley, Dudley, Joy, Dulcie and Murray (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has mixed up the dates, saying Bruno 1904-1978 and Sylvia 18941955(2), instead of the other way around. As per the headstone, Bruno‘s dates are 1894-1955 and Sylvia’s 1904-1978. The Bruno Bartel search at GenealogySA has no results, but the ‘all Bartel’ search shows an August Bruno Bartel b1895 to parents August Hermann Bartel and Hedwig Mathilde Otto in the Kapunda District (3). On the LDS website, August Bruno Bartel was born on 8 Jan 1895 in Bower SA to parents August Hermann Bartel (born 29 May 1859 Schrieberhau SA, died 30 Jul 1902 Bower) and Mathilde Otto (born 23 Jul 1863 Nuriootpa, died 15 Jul 1928 SA), who were married on 6 Aug 1885 Neales Flat (4). Although this Bruno Bartel was born just after the end of 1894, the proof will be if he is shown to have married a Sylvia, whoi was born c1904. The August Bartel Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that August Bruno Bartel was married in 1921 to Selma Sylvia Frahm in the Kapunda District (5). On RootsWeb, Selma Selphia[sic] Frahm was born on 15 Mar 1904 in Bower SA to parents Carl Heinrich Ernst Frahm and Henrietta Lisetta Thiel (6). This seems good enough to claim it is proved. The dates of dying are harder, as most free genealogy sites won’t tell us unless we pay, and Trove searches usually only go up to 1954 at present. So that’s it, unless a general search yields something. On a general Google search, WikiTree has a record for August Bruno Bartel who was born January 8, 1895, and died September 21, 1955 (7). Also by Googling August Bruno Bartel we found on a RootsChat site that shows that August Bruno Bartel, aged 26 years, single (father August Herman Bartel) was married on 20 Aug 1921 at St Peters Church, Morgan, Kapunda District to Selma Sylvia Frahm, aged 17 years, single (father Charles Friedrich Frahm) (8). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser newspaper shows one for Sylvia Selma Bartel 26 Dec 1978 (9), so we can at least assume that she died in Dec 1978. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartel_bruno_&_sylvia.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFydGVs&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I15035&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFydGVs&g=QXVndXN0&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I715763 7 http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bartel-128 8 http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=435200.27 9 www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 932 Dudley Dennis (Joe) Bartel died aged 62 yrs on 18 Jan 1991; his brother Maxwell Rubin Bartel died aged 80 yrs on 27 Aug 2004, sons of Sylvia and Bruno (dec’d) (1). Bruno and Sylvia Bartel are described in Note 931. A search on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Dudley Dennis Bartel was born on 4 Mar 1928 in Bower SA to parents August Bruno Bartel and Sylvia Selma Frahm (2). Maxwell Reuben Bartel was born on 23 Jun 1924 also in Bower to parents August Bruno Bartel and Selma Sylvia Frahm (3), with mother’s first 2 names reversed. Presuming that the Lindsay Louis Bartel also having a headstone at Willaston is Dudley and Maxwell’s oldest brother, we check the headstone: Marjorie Evelyn Bartel died aged 51 yrs on 20 Sept 1978; her husband Lindsay Louis Bartel died aged 69 yrs on 15 May 1991; parents of David and Jeffrey (4). There is no Lindsay Bartel Marriage Index on GenealogySA, so we must seek elsewhere to find Marjorie Evelyn’s maiden name. A search on an ‘all Bartel’ Birth Index will not work, as David and Lindsay will have been born after the current 1928 cut-off for genealogy sites. So a search using Trove for Marjorie Evelyn and Lindsay Louis Bartel’s marriage is our best option. Here they are getting engaged: “Engagements: Brine—Bartel. The engagement is announced of Marjorie, only child of Mrs R Batt, of Freeling, and the late Mr GF Brine, of Adelaide, to Lindsay, eldest son of Mr and Mrs AB Bartel of Morgan.” The Advertiser, Tuesday 3 December 1946 p14 (5). Now we have her maiden name, we can go to RootsWeb, which says that Marjorie Evelyn Brine was born on 27 May 1927 in Lameroo SA to parents George Franklin Brine and Henrietta May Hamilton Lewis (6), and Lindsay Louis Bartel was born on 10 Feb 1922 in Bower to parents August Bruno Bartel and Selma Sylvia Frahm (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartel_dudley_dennis_-_joe_&_maxwell_rubin.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I440687 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I440671 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartel_marjorie_evelyn_&_lindsay_louis.jpg 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35770010?searchTerm=Marjorie%20Lindsay%20Bartel&searchLimits=l-title=44 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I455127 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I440663 933 Ellen Bartholomew died aged 53 yrs on 7 March 1923, wife of Joseph (1), making her year of birth c1870. There is no Joseph Bartholomew Marriage Index on GenealogySA, although the Joseph Bartholomew Birth Index shows a Joseph Bartholomew was born in 1867 to parents John Bartholomew and Catherine Hopkins in the Upper Wakefield District (2). The ‘all Bartholomew’ search on GenealogySA’s Birth Index seeking offspring of Joseph Bartholomew and Ellen or Nell or Ellie __ reveals none (3). Ellen’s death: “Deaths: Bartholomew. On the 7th March, at North Adelaide Private Hospital, Ellen Mary, the beloved wife of Joseph Bartholomew, aged 53

years. RIP.” The Register (Adelaide), Thursday 8 March 1923 p8 (4). Ellen’s funeral (showing her maiden name): “Bartholomew. The Friends of Mr Joseph Bartholomew, of Broken Hill, are respectfully informed that the Funeral of his late wife, Ellen Mary, will Leave the Residence of her Brother (Mr John Daly), Roseworthy, on Friday, at 3 pm, for the Catholic Cemetery, Willaston.” The Register (Adelaide), Thursday 8 March 1923 p2 (5). Joseph’s death: “Bartholomew. On August 21, suddenly, at his residence, 48 Fuller street, Walkerville, Joseph, dearly beloved husband of the Iate Ellen Bartholomew. Aged 74 vears.” News (Adelaide), Friday 22 August 1941 p5 (6). Now we have Ellen’s maiden name of Daly, we can find the wedding of Ellen and Joseph: “Marriage: Bartholomew—Daly. November 23, at the Roman Catholic Sacred Heart Church, Broken Hill, by the Rev Father O'Shea, Joseph Vincent, third son of John Bartholomew, Adelaide, to Ellie Ethreala, fourth daughter of James Daly, Roseworthy, near Gawler SA.” Barrier Miner (Broken Hill), Thursday 8 December 1898 p2 (7). The next concern is that when Ellie Ethreala Daly was googled, a website of the Descendants of Richard Kimber says that Ellen (Ellie) Ethreala Daly had parents James Daly (born c1826) and Maria (Mary) Grady (born c1836) when she was born on 29 Jan 1863 at Roseworthy near Gawler and was baptised 20 Mar 1863 in Gawler (sponsors John Daly and Mary Canny). She died on 7 Mar 1923 and is buried at Willaston (this date agrees with the date on the headstone). The site also agrees she was married 23 Nov 1898 in RC Sacred Heart Church, Broken Hill, by the Rev Father O'Shea, although they don’t say who the bridegroom was (8). The problem is that my calculated birth year was 1870 so if she was born in 1863, as it seems she was, then she was 60 yrs old when she died and not 53.And Ellen (Ellie) Ethreala Daly doesn’t appear on the lists of SA births shown on RootsWeb (9). There was an Ellen Daly who was born on 4 Feb 1870 in North Adelaide to parents George Robert Dally[sic] and Martha Goodman (10), but this Daly didn’t have a father called James, and indeed nor a father called ‘Daly’. So I cannot be absolutely sure, so I will have to leave it as it is 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartholomew_ellen.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFydGhvbG9tZXc=&g=Sm9zZXBo&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFydGhvbG9tZXc=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/64187736?searchTerm=Ellen%20Joseph%20bartholomew&searchLimits=l-title=89 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/64187459?searchTerm=Ellen%20Joseph%20bartholomew&searchLimits=l-title=89 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/131518714?searchTerm=Ellen%20Joseph%20bartholomew&searchLimits=l-title=461 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44224593?searchTerm=Daly%20bartholomew&searchLimits=l-category=Family+Notices 8 http://users.sa.chariot.net.au/~kimber/KimMine/_daly2.htm 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=150320 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I538029 Herbert Roy Bartholomew died aged 54 yrs on 29 June 1964; his wife Veronica Margaret Bartholomew died aged 75 yrs on 10 May 1987 (1). The Herbert Bartholomew Marriage Index on GenealogySA shows that Herbert Bartholomew was married in 1932 to Veronica Margaret McDonnell in the Barossa District (2). Using the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Herbert Roy Bartholomew 23 Jun 1910 in Freeling to parents Charles Hermann Bartholomew and Johanne Beate Ida Hempel (3), and Veronica Margaret McDonnell was born on 5 Jun 1911 in Point Turton SA to parents Thomas Michael McDonnell and Anastacia Cowley (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartholomew_herbert_roy_&_veronica_margaret.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFydGhvbG9tZXc=&g=SGVyYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I440737 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I589548 Nell Bartle died aged 42 yrs on 22 Nov 1929, wife of EJ Bartle (1). An ‘all Bartle’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription saying Nell Bartle died aged 42 yrs in 1929, but on the Burial Register she’s named Ellen Park Bartle (2). The ‘E Bartle’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Edward John Bartle was married in 1914 to Ellen Park Dealy in the Daly District (3). On a RootsWeb search, Ellen Park Dealy was born on 14 Dec 1887 in Balaklava SA to parents Richard Young Dealy and Bessie Smith (4), making her really 41 yrs old when she died. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartle_nell.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmFydGxl&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmFydGxl&g=RQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I413847 Clem Bartlett was born 5 April 1919 and died 15 April 1987, husband of Lorna (nee Glaetzer), father of Dianne and Peter (1). The ‘all Bartlett’ Birth Index on GenealogySA shows that the only ‘Clem’ Bartlett born in 1919 was Cecil Clement Bartlett born to parents Albert Clement Bartlett and Annie Caroline Dinham in the Clare District (2). Using RootsWeb, Cecil Clement Bartlett was born on 5 Apr 1919 in Clare to parents Albert Clement Bartlett and Annie Caroline Dinham (3), confirming his date of birth as it appears on the headstone. While searching for Cecil Clement Bartlett on Google, the website for the Connerty Family shows that Cecil Clement Bartlett was married to Lorna Jean Glaetzer (parents Edward Carl (Charles) Glaetzer and Emily Florence (Lilly) Jackson). Clem and Lorna had 2 children Dianne Dawn Bartlett and Peter John Bartlett (4). Interestingly, there is also a Memorial Inscription for Cecil Clement Bartlett who died 15 Apr 1987 at Enfield Memorial Park SA (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartlett_clem.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmFydGxldHQ=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I440915 4 http://www.familyworkings.com/gedcoms/connerty/dat46.htm 5 http://austcemindex.com/inscription.php?id=9508666 Martha Elizabeth Bartsch died aged 56 yrs on 19 Dec 1938; her husband Theodore August Bartsch died aged 77 yrs on 27 July 1962 (1). There being no Theodore August Marriage Index on GenealogySA, we must resort to other ways to find Martha Elizabeth’s maiden name: “Marriages: Bartsch-Job. On the 18th May, at Willaston, by Rev C Graebner, Theodore A, youngest son of JCA Bartsch, of Sutherlands, to Martha Elizabeth, widow of the late Joseph Job, Willaston.” The Advertiser, Thursday 10 June 1915 p8 (2). So now we have to search again to find her maiden name. The Joseph Job Marriage Index shows he was married in 1906 to Martha Elizabeth Bartsch in the Barossa District (3), showing her maiden name was also Bartsch. Using RootsWeb, we see that Martha Elizabeth Bartsch was born on 5 Apr 1882 in Truro SA to parents Heinrich August Bartsch and Anna Maria Weber (4). August Theodor Bartsch was born on 24 May 1885 at Allens Creek, near Kapunda SA to parents August Bartsch and Elizabeth Pfeiffer (5). But we need to check Martha Elizabeth Bartsch formerly Job nee Bartsch to be sure as it seems unusual. The father of August Theodor Bartsch (Martha Elizabeth’s second husband) was August Bartsch, as we learnt from RootsWeb (5). A search on the LDS website shows that August Bartsch was born on 5 Apr 1871 at South Rhine SA to parents Johann Carl August Bartsch (born 14 Oct 1835, died 29 Dec 1918 Neales Flat SA) and Anna Elizabeth Pfeiffer (b1844), who had married on 8 Apr 1869 Lyndoch Valley SA (6). Still on the LDS website, the grandfather of August
Theodor Bartsch (Martha Elizabeth’s second husband) was Johann Carl August Bartsch who was born to father Christian Bartsch (ie August Theodor Bartsch’s great-grandfather) on 14 Oct 1835, and died 29 Dec 1918 at Neales Flat SA. Johann Carl August Bartsch aged 27 yrs was married on 8 Apr 1869 Lyndoch Valley to Anna Elizabeth Pfeiffer aged 24 yrs who was born 12 Nov 1844 (her parents were Johann Gottlieb Pfeiffer and Anna Caroline Rackui) and died 13 March 1928. The children of Johann Carl August Bartsch and Anna Elizabeth Pfeiffer were [1] Maria Rosalie Martha Bartsch born 12 Dec 1869 South Rhine SA; [2] August Bartsch born 5 Apr 1871 South Rhine; [3] Emma Elisabeth Bartsch born 1 Sep 1872 South Rhine SA; [4] Frederick William Bartsch born 31 Mar 1881 Kapunda; [5] August Theodor Bartsch born 24 May 1885 Allens Creek (7). So much for Martha Elizabeth Bartsch’s second husband August Theodor Bartsch. Still using the LDS data, Martha Elizabeth Bartsch was born on 5 Apr 1882 in Truro SA to parents Heinrich August Bartsch (born 27 Nov 1854 Grunberg SA, died 17 Jun 1901 nr Truro) and Anne Marie Weber (born 27 Nov 1858 Lights Pass SA), who had married 20 Apr 1881 in Grunberg. Martha Elizabeth Bartsch was married aged 24 yrs on 17 Oct 1906 at Sheaoak Log to Joseph Job aged 34 yrs, who was born 25 Dec 1871 Sheaoak Log, died 4 Mar 1914 nr Sheoak Log. She was then married on 18 May 1915 at Willaston to Theodor August Bartsch b1885 (8). The LDS information has Heinrich August Bartsch (Martha Elizabeth Bartsch‘s father) born on 27 Nov 1854 at Grunberg SA to parents Johann Gottlieb Bartsch (born 15 Aug 1827 Skampe, Brandenburg, Prussia, died 9 Oct 1907 Moculta SA) and Dorothea Elisabeth Hoffmann (born 25 Nov 1828 Prussia, died 8 May 1864 Grunberg), who had married 5 Sep 1851 in Hahndorf SA. Heinrich August Bartsch, who was a Truro farmer and died 17 Jun 1901 nr Truro, was married on 20 Apr 1881 at Grunberg to Anne Marie Weber born 27 Nov 1858 Lights Pass to parents Carl Weber and Anna Rosina fmly Niejalke nee Klemm. The children of Heinrich August Bartsch and Anne Marie Weber included [1] Martha Elizabeth Bartsch born 5 Apr 1882 Truro; [2] Anna Matilda Bartsch born 10 Mar 1884 Truro, died 24 Aug 1915 nr Freeling; [3] Augusta Ida Bartsch born 31 Aug 1885 Truro; [4] Alwina Amanda Bartsch born 16 May 1887 Truro; [5] Heinrich Emil Bartsch born 29 Apr 1889 Angaston; [6] Johann Gotthold Bartsch born 11 May 1891 Truro; [7] John Arthur Bartsch born 28 Sep 1893 Truro; [8] Olive Alma Bartsch born 20 Sep 1896 Truro; [9] Anna Elsa Bartsch born 20 Sep 1898 Truro, died 1913 (9). The LDS information has Johann Gottlieb Bartsch (Martha Elizabeth Bartsch‘s grandfather) birth as 15 Aug 1827 in Skampe, Brandenburg, Prussia and death on 9 Oct 1907 Moculta SA. His parents were Johann Samuel Bartsch (born 25 Mar 1800 Skampe, Brandenburg, Prussia, died 10 Dec 1873 Grunberg SA) and Eleonore Meissner (born 25 May 1799 Paltzig, Zullichau, Prussia, died 25 Jun 1869 Grunberg), who had married 1826 in Skampe. Johann Gottlieb Bartsch had arrived in SA in 1838 aboard the Zebra and was a farmer and councillor who had resided in Hahndorf, Duck Ponds, Lobethal, and Angaston. He was married on 5 Sep 1851 at the residence of A Kavel in Hahndorf to Dorothea Elisabeth Hoffmann born 25 Nov 1828 Grossenbohrau, Prussia, died on 8 May 1864 Grunberg SA. The children of Johann Gottlieb Bartsch and Dorothea Elisabeth Hoffmann were [1] Johann Wilhelm Bartsch born 22 Feb 1853 Lights Pass SA, died 28 May 1931 SA; [2] Heinrich August Bartsch born 27 Nov 1854 Grunberg SA, died 17 Jun 1901 nr Truro; [3] Maria Louise Klose nee Bartsch born 9 May 1857 Parrott Hill SA, died 1948 SA; [4] Friedrich Ernst Bartsch born 22 Jan 1860 Parrott Hill, died 17 Aug 1911 Moculta SA; [5] Anna Caroline Joppich nee Bartsch born 19 Feb 1863 Duckponds SA. Johann Gottlieb Bartsch was married again on 4 May 1864 at Lights Pass to Johanne Caroline Fischer (parents were Johann Gottfried Fischer and Johanne Louise Bradtke) who was born 29 Sept 1843 in SA, died 11 May 1930 SA. The children of Johann Gottlieb Bartsch and Johanne Caroline Fischer were [1] Maria Paulina Lydia Boehm nee Bartsch born 17 Feb 1866 Grunberg, died 8 Dec 1947 SA; [2] Johann Gottlieb Bartsch born 7 Nov 1867 Grunberg, d1932; [3] Johann Heinrich Gotthilf Bartsch born 4 Sep 1869 Grunberg, died 2 Aug 1959 Moculta; [4] Anna Elisabeth Martha Schaedel fmly Krause nee Bartsch born 2 Mar 1872 Grunberg; [5] Mathilda Emma Seelander nee Bartsch born 30 Nov 1873 Grunberg; [6] Ernstine Wilhelmine Agnes Weber nee Bartsch born 24 Aug 1875 Grunberg; [7] Emilie Selma Kruschel nee Bartsch born 29 Apr 1880 Grunberg; [8] Julius Richard Berthold Bartsch born 23 Nov 1883 Moculta (10). The LDS information has Johann Samuel Bartsch (Martha Elizabeth Bartsch‘s great-grandfather) birth on 25 Mar 1800 at Skampe, Brandenburg, Prussia and death on 10 Dec 1873 Grunberg SA. He arrived in SA 1838 aboard the Zebra and was a farmer, and carpenter who had resided at Hahndorf, and Gruenberg. He was married in 1826 in Skampe to Eleonore Meissner (born 25 May 1799 Paltzig, Zullichau, Prussia, died 25 Jun 1869 Grunberg SA). The children of Johann Samuel Bartsch and Eleonore Meissner were [1] Johann Gottlieb Bartsch born 15 Aug 1827 Skampe, Brandenburg, Prussia, died 9 Oct 1907 Moculta SA; [2] Johann Friedrich Bartsch born 14 Mar 1831, Skampe, died 20 Nov 1865 Nuriootpa SA; [3] Johann Christian Bartsch b1832, Skampe, died 21 Oct 1871 Gawler River; [4] Johann August Bartsch born 18 Apr 1834 Skampe, died 10 Sep 1911 Blanchetown SA; [5] Johanne Eleonore Bartsch b1837 Skampe; [6] Johann Samuel Bartsch b1838 Skampe (11). All this to show that Martha Elizabeth Bartsch‘s second husband August Theodor Bartsch’s great-grandfather was Christian Bartsch (details of birth unknown but married before 1835) and Martha Elizabeth Bartsch‘s own great-grandfather was Johann Samuel Bartsch (born 25 Mar 1800 at Skampe, Brandenburg, Prussia), so the familial connection between the bride and groom is far removed. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bartsch_martha_elizabeth_&_theodore_august.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5470915?searchTerm=Theodore%20Bartsch%20Martha&searchLimits= 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Sm9i&g=Sm9zZXBo&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I295883 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I295766 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I227271&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I106722&tree=SouthAustralia 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I14042&tree=SouthAustralia 9 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I14041&tree=SouthAustralia 10 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I13893&tree=SouthAustralia 11 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I22218&tree=SouthAustralia 938 Henrietta May Batt died aged 70 yrs on 10 April 1973, wife of Roy James, mother of Marjorie (1). The Roy Batt Birth Index on GenealogySA shows that Roy James Batt was born in the Hindmarsh District in 1901 to parents James Batt and Sarah Adelaide Pickering (2). We also found that the Roy Batt Marriage Index revealed that Roy James Batt was married in the Hindmarsh District in 1926 to Bertha Emma Foureur (3). Bertha Emma Batt then vanishes from the SA Genealogy picture, and Henrietta May Batt appears, presumably Roy’s second wife. But without her maiden name, there’s nothing I can do. Searches on her as a Batt mother on GenealogySA, and extensive Trove trolling, has revealed nothing. Even the Savill Index has not helped. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/batt_henrietta_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmF0dA==&g=Um95&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmF0dA==&g=Um95&c=&y=&r=MA== 939 Lucy Bawden died aged 74 yrs on 13 July 1951 (1), making her year of birth c1877. The ‘all Bawden’ search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows that the only Bawden on their Burial Register is Lucy May Bawden where the Memorial Inscription says Lucy Bawden aged 74y died in 1951 (2). The ‘all Bawden’ Marriage Index has Lucy Hutchins marrying Hugh
Bawden in 1872 in the Burra District (3), but this cannot be the Lucy Bawden we’re seeking. The Lucy Bawden Birth Index shows that in 1879 Lucy Bawden was born in the Daly District to parents Hugh Bawden and Lucy Hutchins, so maybe this Lucy Bawden never married (4). The ‘all Bawden’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Hugh Bawden and Lucy Hutchins yields 6 children [1] Arthur Bawden b1873 in the Burra District; [2] Walter Bawden b1875 in the Kapunda District; [3] David Bawden b1877 in the Strathalbyn District; [4] Lucy Bawden b1879 in the Daly District; [5] Edith Bawden b1881 in the Gilbert District; [6] May Bawden b1883 in the Gilbert District (5). Mrs Lucy Bawden dies 1883: “Bawden. On the 29th August, at the Riverton School, Lucy, the beloved wife of H Bawden, aged 33 years.” South Australian Register, Wednesday 12 September 1883 Supplement p2 (6). The Lucy Bawden who died in 1951 was married: “Personal. Sincerest sympathy to the family of Mrs Lucy Bawden who passed away at Gawler last Friday. Mrs Bawden was a former resident of Mintaro and was a highly respected citizen.” Northern Argus (Clare), Wednesday 18 July 1951 p10 (7). Lucy Bawden was married to Walter: “Lucy Webb's Diary: [By Lucy Webb] Since I wrote last, I have noted ....... Walter Bawden of Gawler, has also lost his wife. He was known in his Clare School days as Chink Bawden from his fancied resemblance to a Chinaman; there were three Bawden boys, Arthur, Walter and David, their father, School master Bawden was choirmaster of St Barnabas' Church and the evening choir practices were held in the primary school room.” Northern Argus (Clare), Wednesday 5 September 1951 p12 (8). Walter Bawden is most likely the son of Hugh b1875. Mrs Lucy Bawden’s Death Notice: “On July 13, at Hutchinson Hospital, Lucy May, beloved wife of Walter Bawden, of 4 Seventh street, Gawler South, and loved mother of Peg (Mrs Dieckmann). Aged 73 years. RIP.” The Advertiser, Saturday 14 July 1951 p20 (9). We still do not know her maiden name, but have confirmed that this third Lucy Bawden we have found had a middle name ‘May’, and is not the Lucy Bawden, daughter of Hugh b1879, sister of Walter; nor the Lucy Bawden, wife of Hugh, mother of Walter. Turning to the LDS website, Hugh Bawden was born in 1849 Somerset, England, and died on 30 Sep 1927 Napperby SA, his father being either John or William Bawden. Hugh was a miner, teacher, astronomer who had lived in Kooringa, Moonta, Napperby and other places. Hugh Bawden aged 23 yrs was married on 7 Sep 1872 at Redruth SA to Lucy Hutchins aged 22 yrs (born 17 Jul 1850 Sussex, England to parents Thomas Hutchins and Anne Martin, and died 29 Aug 1883 Riverton SA). The children of Hugh Bawden and Lucy Hutchins included [1] Arthur Bawden born 16 Jun 1873 Kooringa SA; [2] Walter Bawden born 16 Jan 1875 Allens Creek SA; [3] David Bawden born 11 Jul 1877 Woodchester SA, died 1878; [4] Lucy Bawden born 28 Jun 1879 Moonta Mines SA, died 6 Oct 1881 Riverton; [5] Edith Zanub nee Bawden born 23 Apr 1881 Riverton; [6] May Eveline Fischer nee Bawden born 27 Apr 1883 Riverton. Hugh Bawden was then married on 20 Sep 1884 in Kapunda to Annie Gilbert (b1858 to father Joseph Gilbert, and she died 7 Oct 1924) (10). This confirms that Lucy sibling died early and is not who we seek, and there is no information on the LDS site as to whom Walter was married, nor can I find out by searching newspapers via Trove. I did discover Mrs Lucy Bawden’s daughter Peg: Births: “Dieckmann (nee Bawden) . On March 31, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Peg and Jack — a son.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 13 April 1950 p38 (11), and this implies that as Mrs Lucy would be 73yrs old by then, she or Peg, or both, were having children into their mature years. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bawden_lucy.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmF3ZG9u&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmF3ZG9u&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmF3ZG9u&g=THVjeQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmF3ZGVu&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43469799?searchTerm=Lucy%20Bawden&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97839000?searchTerm=lucy%20bawden%20gawler&searchLimits= 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97837585?searchTerm=lucy%20bawden%20gawler&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45727042?searchTerm=Walter%20bawden%20Lucy&searchLimits=l-state=South+Australia 10 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I209536&tree=SouthAustralia 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93746964?searchTerm=Dieckmann%20Bawden&searchLimits= 940 Ronald Joseph Baxter died aged 54 yrs on 23 Aug 1977, husband of June Clarice, father of Wayne, Denise and Lynette (1), making his year of birth c1923. A search using the SA births website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Joseph Ronald Baxter was born on 26 Dec 1922 in Pinnaroo SA to parents Albert Baxter and Kate Gillick (2). Just to confirm this date of birth, especially as the names were reversed, the World War Two Nominal Roll shows the Service Record of Ronald Joseph Baxter who was born on 26 Dec 1922 at Pinnaroo SA. He was living at Pinnaroo when he enlisted in the Australian Army on 16 Feb 1942 Wayville SA, citing as his Next of Kin Lorna Baxter. Private Baxter was discharged on 24 Jan 1946 from the 2/163 Australian General Transport (3). The birth dates match exactly 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/baxter_ronald_joseph.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I442450 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=680658 941 James Beasley died aged 74 yrs on 24 Dec 1933; his wife Clara Jane Beasley died aged 78 yrs on 21 June 1936, they were parents (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Clara Jane Beasley was aged 79 yrs (2), but from the photo, it looks like 78 yrs to me. The ‘all Beasley’ search on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has these two folk on their Burial Register, and their Memorial Inscriptions say that James Beasley was 74 yrs when he died in 1933, and that Clara Jane Beasley died in 1936 aged 78 yrs (3), confirming my reading of the headstone. This means that James and Clara Jane’s years of birth are calculated to be c1859 and c1858 respectively. The James Beasley Marriage Index shows he was married in 1888 to Clara Jane Fisher in Adelaide (4). According the SA births data found at RootsWeb. Clara Jane Fisher was born on 10 Aug 1857 in Unley Park, Adelaide SA to parents Charles Fisher and Mary Ann Smith (5), indeed making her 78 years old when she died. The ‘all Beasley’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows the children of James Beasley and Clara Jane FISHER all born in the Barossa District: [1] Clara Lillian Beasley b1889; [2] Maud Winnifred Beasley b1891; [3] Dorothy Evelyn May Beasley b1893; [4] Muriel Estelle Beasley b1896 (6). James Beasley does not appear on RootsWeb under that name but by searching on Trove: “Obituary: Mr James Beasley. Death reaped an important harvest in Gawler in the last month of 1933, the first to cross to "the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns" being Mr M Lynch, a resident whose place will be hard to fill. Then followed the gathering-in of Mr James Beasley, librarian and secretary of the Gawler Institute, whose death took place on Christmas Eve (Sunday) December 24th, the harvest culminating with the passing hence of Rev HL Willett Bevan MA, on December 28. The late Mr Beasley had long associations with Gawler, having occupied the position of Librarian to the Institute for 43 years. He was a native of Lindon near Ballarat, Victoria, his birth taking place on July 4, 1859, making him 74 years of age. Four years afterwards, he became a resident of South Australia, and in 1885 came to GawIer as a draper's assistant, first working for J & G Wilcox and afterwards with Mr (now Sir Edward) Lucas. In 1890 when Mr Otto Wehrstedt resigned the position of Librarian after 10 years' service, Mr Beasley was appointed in his stead .... Mr Beasley is survived by his wife and a family of 4 daughters. They are Mrs HT Gilbert, Prospect; Mrs JB Smith, Smithfield; Mrs R Jauney, Mt Gambier, and Mrs CC Mazzarol, Gawler. The funeral took

The Johanne Becker Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Johanne Dorothea Becker died in the Barossa District in 1923, her nominated relative was her deceased husband Carl Reinhold Becker (2). The Carl Becker Marriage Index shows that Carl Reinhold Becker was married in 1906 in the Kapunda District to Mathilde Louise Eckermann (3), although this doesn’t suit the dates so maybe this is the son of the Carl Reinhold Becker we seek. The Carl Becker Birth Index shows that Carl Reinhold Becker was born in the Upper Wakefield District in 1875 to parents Johunn Carl Renhold Becker and Johanna Zuecker (4), and these are most likely the ones we are researching. The Johanna Zuecker Marriage Index (still using GenealogySA data) shows that in 1865 in the Angaston District, Johann Dorothea Zucker was married to Johann Carl Reinholdt Becker (5). Turning to the LDS website, Johanna Dorothea Zueker was born c1844 to father Gottlieb Zueker. She was married aged 21 yrs on 13 Oct 1865 in Langmeil SA to Johann Carl Reinhold Becker aged 23 yrs (b1843, died 2 Sep 1910 Petersburg SA). Their children were [1] Otto Paul Becker born 13 Jun 1866 nr Trial Hill SA, died 12 Jan 1867 nr Trial Hill; [2] Louisa Paulina Becker born 10 Aug 1871 nr Chinkford SA; [3] Johann Friedrich Hermann Becker b1872; [4] Ernestine Paulina Becker b1874; [5] Carl Reinhold Becker born 19 Jul 1875 Manoora SA; [6] Emma Matilda Becker born 20 Jun 1878 Manoora; [7] William Becker b1880, Manoora, died 20 Feb 1882 Manoora; [8] Ernest Theodor Becker born 9 Oct 1882 Manoora; [9] Heinrich Becker born 2 Nov 1884 Manoora (6). A general Google search revealed a website called My Genealogy at Family Tree Maker. This said that Johanne Dorothea Zucker (daughter of Johann Gottlob Zucker and Johanna Louise Hein) was born 1845 in Germany, and married Reinhold Becker. The list of their children was as above with one additional birth date [7] Wilhelm Becker was born on 01 Dec 1879 Manoora (7). It seems that Johanne Dorothea Becker died aged more like 78 yrs on 12 April 1923. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/becker_johanne_dorothea.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QmVja2Vy&g=Sm9oYW5uZQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVja2Vy&g=Q2FybA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmVja2Vy&g=Q2FybA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=WnVlY2tlcg==&g=Sm9oYW5u&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I47915&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.genealogy.com/users/c/l/a/Carolyn-Clarke-South-Australia/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0671.html Albert Beckmann died aged 76 yrs on 21 Feb 1974, husband of Annie, father of Arthur, Claude, William, Kevin, Barbara and Richard (1), making his calculated year of birth c1898. A search on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no Albert Beckmann birth, nor is on the Albert Beckmann Birth Index at GenealogySA, nor on the ‘all Beckmann’ Birth Index, nor a Trove national search of his birth or marriage to Annie, nor on the Nominal Roll for WWII or at least the SA WWI Honour Roll, nor a general Google search. I’ll postpone the search, waiting for another clue 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/beckmann_albert.jpg Coral Ivy Jean Beckwith died aged 89 years on 26 Oct 1996, wife of Arthur Ray Beckwith, mother of James (1), thus estimating her year of birth The Arthur Beckwith Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Arthur Ray Beckwith was married in Gawler in 1936 to Coral Ivy Jean Lodge (2). to be c1907. A search of SA births on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people has Coral Ivy Jean Lodge born on 12 Feb 1907 in Gawler to parents Arthur Lodge and Mary Harrison (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/beckwith_coral_ivy_jean.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVja3dpdGg=&g=QXJ0aHVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I576266 Walter Edwin Beelitz died aged 68 yrs on 10 Aug 1963; his wife Sophia May Beelitz died aged 83 yrs on 9 Feb 1979, parents of Thelma and Rex (1), making their approx years of birth c1895 and c1896 respectively. The Walter Beelitz Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Walter Edwin Beelitz was married in the Wellington District in 1920 to Sophia May Kupke (2). Searching SA births on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Walter Edwin Beelitz was born on 29 Apr 1895 in Freeling SA to parents Johann Andreas Beelitz and Hannah Augusta Krieg (3), and Sophia May Kupke was born on 1 May 1895 near Spalding SA to parents Friedrich Reinhold Kupke and Elizabeth Louisa Bradke (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/beelitz_walter_edwin_&_sophia_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVlbGl0eg==&g=V2FsdGVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I300555 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I70078 William Ambrose Beer died aged 8 mths on 5 May 1876; William Adonis Beer died aged 3 mths on 11 Feb 1877; Nora Adelia Beer died aged 3 mths on 17 Feb 1880; their mother Sarah Ann Beer died aged 65 yrs on 7 May 1908 (1). I have had to rely on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), because the headstone inscriptions are very hard to read from the photo. Fortunately, by searching ‘all Beer’ surnames on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (3), there is agreement with the ages and at least the years as given. The ‘all Beer’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that only two possibilities of a Sarah marrying a man of surname Beer. One was in the Grey District in 1862 when Sarah Bagnell married James Beer, and the other marriage was in Adelaide in 1871 when Sarai[sic] Ann Cock married Daniel Beer (4), the latter being more likely as the biths noted on the headstone follow better from an 1871 wedding. The ‘all Beer’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that no children were born to parents James Beer and Sarah Bagnell, but there were children born to Daniel Beer and Sarah Ann Cox (mother’s name varies in spelling) which were [1] Bertha Ann Beer b1872 to mother Sarah Ann Cock in the Gilbert District; [2] Dan Augustus Beer b1874 to mother Sarah Ann Cochs in the Barossa District; [3] William Ambrose Beer b1875 to mother Sarah Ann Cox in the Barossa District; [4] William Adonis Beer b1876 to mother Sarah Cox in the Barossa District; [5] Nora Adelia Beer b1879 to mother Sarah Ann Cochs in the Barossa District; [6] Hilda Amice Beer b1881 to mother Sarah Ann Cox in the Barossa District [7] Edmund Alwin Beer b1886 to mother Sarah Ann Cox in the Barossa District (5). On RootsWeb, William Ambrose Beer was born on 27 Aug 1875 in Gawler to parents Daniel Beer and Sarah Ann Cox, and died 5 May 1876 in Gawler (6), William Adonis Beer was born 9 Nov 1876 in Gawler and died 11 Feb 1877 in Gawler (7), and Nora Adelia Beer
was born on 19 Nov 1879 in Gawler and died 27 Feb 1880 Gawler (8). There is no Daniel Beer on the LDS website, nor is there any record (not surprisingly) of the births of Daniel Beer and Sarah Ann Cox at SA births on RootsWeb. Sarah Ann Beer dies: “Beer-The Friends of Mr Daniel Beer, of Ararat, Victoria, late of Gawler, are respectfully informed that the Funeral of his late Wife will leave the Gawler railway station on Saturday, at 1.30 o'clock, for the Willaston Cemetery.” The Advertiser, Saturday 9 May 1908 p2 (9). Danial Beer dies: “Beer. On the 13th July, at his daughter's residence, Mrs White, Ballarat, Daniel Beer, late of Gawler, leaving one daughter and two sons, only brother of A Cargeeg, Edwardstown, South Australia, age 77 years. Sweet rest after long suffering.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 19 July 1924 p39 (10). It should be noted that Nora Adelia Beer died 27 Feb 1880, and not 17 Feb as stated on the “B” data page (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/ab/beer_william_ambrose,_william_adonis,_nora_adelia_&_sarah_ann.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QmVlcg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVlcg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmVlcg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I300694 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I300693 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I300674 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5137657?searchTerm=Daniel%20Beer%20Gawler&searchLimits= 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/89378963?searchTerm=Daniel%20Beer%20Gawler&searchLimits= 947 Alice Rodda Bell died aged 86 yrs on 11 Nov 1963 (1), making her year of birth c1877. The ‘all Bell’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows the birth in 1911 of Mavis Alison Bell with parents Joseph Bell and Alice Rodda Carne in the Port Gawler District, their only child shown on that Index (2). The Joseph Bell Marriage Index does not show such this marriage, but on Trove, we find the newspaper announcement: Weddings: “Bell-Carne.-On the 11th June, at St John's Church, Albany WA, by the Rev Canon Louch, Joseph Bell, of Murrin Murrin WA, to Alice R, eldest daughter of WH Carne, Gawler.” The Advertiser, Tuesday 20 September 1910 p8 (3), so it’s not surprising it wasn’t on GenealogySA’s Wedding Index, being in WA. Searching SA births on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Alice Rodda Carne was born on 7 Oct 1875 in Kapunda SA to parents William Henry Carne and Mary Jane James (4), meaning that despite what the headstone says, she was actually 88 yrs old when she died. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bell_alice_rodda.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmVsbA==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5264435?searchTerm=Bell%20Carne&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I263258 948 Clarice Florence Bell died aged 68 yrs on 13 Dec 1985; wife of Ronald James Bell who died aged 77 yrs on 28 July 1990, parents of Doug, Keith, Margaret, Colleen and Elaine + 13 grandchildren (1). There is no Ronald Bell on GenealogySA’s Marriage Index, but a check on the World War Two Nominal Roll shows the Service Record for Ronald James Bell who was born on 6 Dec 1912 in Hamley Bridge SA and was living in Templers SA when he enlisted in Freeling SA in the Australian Army on 22 Jan 1942, citing Clarice Bell as his next of kin. Private Bell was discharged 22 Oct 1945 from 1 Australian Works Company (2). Whilst searching on Trove for Clarice Bell mentions, this appeared: “In Memoriam: Stott. In loving memory of our dear wife and mother, who passed away on October 20, 1937, at Templers. ....... Inserted by her loving husband, and daughter Clarice, son-in-law Ron, and grandson Douglas.” The Advertiser, Monday 20 October 1941 p12 (3). The details surely are more than a co-incidence? Clarice and Ron, with a son called Douglas, just like the details on the headstone. I could not find any mention of the marriage whilst trolling through Trove, but when you look at SA births on RootsWeb, Clarice Florence Stott was born on 13 Oct 1917 Gawler to parents John Stott and Florence Frances May Lawler (4), so the birth year matches also. So is Clarice Florence Bell nee Stott? I rather think so, but I would like just one more bit of information to corroborate it. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bell_clarice_florence_&_ronald_james.jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=716689 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44962656?searchTerm=bell%20clarice&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I669974 949 George Bentley died 21 August 1990; his wife Gertrude Bentley died 2 June 1980 (1). There are several problems here, including no ages are given, neither are birth years, added to only first names with middle names, plus that the deaths are too recent for Trove to be used is just to name a few of the concerns. Like all these Bentley searches, nothing is straightforward, and names seem to be not always strictly adhered to. A search on Newspaper Death Notices at GenealogySA shows 3 notices related to the death of George Bentley in the Advertiser 1990, confirming the headstone date (2). On the Savill Index of Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser George (Gently) Bentley’s appears on 22 Aug 1990 (3), again confirming the accuracy of the reporting of his date of death. The Gertrude Bentley search at Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser shows 2 notices in 1980 for Gertrude Florence Bentley (4). But the Savill Index syas that it is George Bentley who has a funeral notice on 3 June 1980 (5), one day after his wife Gertrude’s death. Maybe this is a mistake, as their Christian names both start with “Ge..” The dates match perfectly for it being in reality Gertrude. A check on the World War 2 Nominal Roll shows the Service Record of George Bentley, who was born on 26 Jul 1913 in Gawler SA, and was residing in Fullarton SA when he enlisted on 6 Mar 1941 at Unley SA in the Australian Army, with Next of Kin Gertrude Bentley. Private Bentley was discharged on 5 Oct 1945 from the 15 Australian Works Company (6). On the George Bentley Birth Index at GenealogySA, there are 3 George Bentley names but the only likely George Bentley was born in 1913 to parents Thomas Friend Bentley and Rosina Alice Chynoweth in the Port Gawler District (7), with the nearest other one meaning he would have been 102 yrs old when he died in 1990 and had a middle name. This means that George Bentley was 77 yrs old when he died in 1990, and confirms the military data. On the LDS website, George Bentley’s grandfather was William Bentley b1834 and died 20 Jun 1910 Redruth SA. William’s parents were James Bentley (born c1790 Middlesex, England and died 27 May 1850 in SA) and Elizabeth Chatterton (born c1788 Middlesex, England and died 24 May 1864 Kadina SA). William (b1834) Bentley’s occupations included water carrier, painter, artist, photographer and he had resided in Kooringa, Moonta, Redruth, Burra. He had married twice, firstly to Louisa (born 1840, died 16 May 1863 Kooringa SA). William and Louisa’s children were [1] Rosetta Louisa Bentley b1858, d1859); [2] Rosa Bentley b1859, d1860. Just 8 months after Louisa died, William Bentley was married on 11 Jan 1864 at Kooringa to Elizabeth Bald (b1842 Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland to father James Bald, and died 18 Jan 1920 Burra SA). William and Elizabeth’s children included [1] Thomas Friend Bentley born 18 Oct 1864 Kooringa, and died 4 Feb 1941 SA; [2] Rosetta Bentley born 17 Apr 1866 Kooringa; [3] Fannie Bentley born 16 Apr 1868 Moonta; [4] Edward Alport Chatterton Bentley b1869,died 25 May 1872 Port Lincoln; [5] Elizabeth Chatterton Bentley born 6 Mar 1870 Moonta; [6] William Friend Bentley born 10 Sep 1872 Moonta; [7] Henry Robert Bentley born 16 Feb 1875 Moonta; [8] Mabel Jane Bentley born 20 Feb 1877 Moonta; [9] James Bentley born 17 Feb
1879 Moonta; [10] Maria Grace Bentley born 7 Dec 1880 Redruth SA; [11] Allison Bentley born 14 Oct 1883 Redruth (8). According to the LDS website, George Bentley’s father was Thomas Friend Bentley (1864 - 1941), whose details appear above. He resided in Gawler but is buried in Mitcham. Thomas was married on 23 May 1894 at Two Wells SA to Roseana Alice Chynoweth (b 28 Oct 1870 Kanmantoo SA, and died 25 Dec 1941 Fullarton SA). Their children included [1] Cyril Friend Bentley born 14 Feb 1895 Redruth SA, died 26 Jul 1902 Redruth; [2] William Bentley born 9 Mar 1896 Redruth, and died 26 Dec 1896 Redruth; [3] Leonard Roberts Bentley born 19 Jul 1900 Redruth, and died 15 Feb 1901 Redruth; [4] Thomas Friend Bentley born 8 Mar 1902 Redruth; [5] Living; [6] Living (9). Naturally I expect that one of these living children would be George Bentley b1913. A Google search found the Roots Web website which says that Thomas Friend Bentley’s parents were William Bentley (born 1836 in England) and Elizabeth Bald (born 1846 in Scotland). He married Rosina Chynoweth on 23 Sep 1894. So far the names are right with some variations in the spelling, but the dates vary in each case. However it does seem we are describing the same family, when you see their children [1] Cyril Friend Bentley born 14 Feb 1895; [2] William Bentley born 9 Mar 1896; [3] Leonard Roberts Bentley born 19 Jul 1900; [4] Thomas Friend Bentley born 8 Mar 1902; [5] Henry Robert Bentley born 24 Sep 1904; [6] Dorothy Rose Bentley born 26 Oct 1906; [7] ?? (10). So was there then a 7 year gap to child [7]; or were there two separate George Bentley b1913 births, and our George had different parents? I’m confident that our George was born in 1913, but couldn’t swear to his parentage, and cannot find anything else about Gertrude except she was George’s next of kin, and her middle name may have been Florence. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bentley_gertrude_&_george.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QmVudGxleQ==&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QmVudGxleQ==&g=R2VydHJ1ZGU=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 6 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=703622 7 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmVudGxleQ==&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I94170&tree=SouthAustralia 9 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I94172&tree=SouthAustralia 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2064885&id=I1948 950 Harry Bentley died aged 54 years on 28 May 1959, father of Irene and Pam; his wife Cecilia Jane Bentley died aged 85 years on 2 July 1992 (1), making their years of birth c1905 and c1907 respectively. The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has spelt her name as Cecelia (2), but it twice spells it as Cecilia on the headstone. There is no Harry Bentley Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so an ‘all Bentley’ search on the Marriage Index to find a bride named Cecilia shows that in the Barossa District in 1925 Henry Robert Bentley married Cecilia Jane Aitken Turnbull (3). Turning to the SA birth data at the Website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Henry Robert Bentley was born on 24 Sep 1904 in Blyth SA to parents Thomas Friend Bentley and Rosina Alice Chynoweth (4), but Cecilia Jane Aitken Turnbull does not appear on the list of SA births (5). “Approaching Marriage: Turnbull— Bentley. The marriage of Cecilia JA, only daughter of Mr and Mrs JS Turnbull, of Gawler, to Henry, third son of Mr and Mrs TF Bentley, of Gawler, will be celebrated at the Congregational Church, Gawler, on Saturday, November 21st at 3 pm. Relatives and friends cordially invited. No reception.” The Advertiser, Friday 20 November 1925 p12 (6). “Turnbull — Bentley. The marriage of Cecelia JA, only daughter of Mr and Mrs JT Turnbull, of Gawler, to Henry, third son of Mr and Mrs TF Bentley, of Gawler, will be celebrated at the Congregational Church, Gawler, on Saturday, 2lst November, at 3 pm. Relatives and friends cordially invited. No reception.” The Register (Adelaide), Saturday 21 November 1925 p8 (7). These two notices, one day apart show variations in the spelling of Cecilia, and also her parent’s initials. On searching the Aitken middle name on the ‘all Turnbull’ Birth Index at GenealogySA, it shows an Andrew Aitken Turnbull, who surely must be Cecilia’s brother, with the same middle name. Even here it is confusing, as Minnie seems to have several surnames. Their children were [1] Phylis Lorna Elizabeth Turnbull b1919 (mother Minnie Ray) in the Port Gawler District; [2] John Sanderson Turnbull b1920 (mother Minnie Langley) in the Barossa District; [3] Ivy Muriel Turnbull b1921 (mother Minnie Ray) in the Barossa District; [4] Daphne Jean Turnbull b1923 (mother Minnie Ray) in the Barossa District; [5] Monica Joyce Turnbull b1924 (mother Minnie Ray) in the Barossa District (8). That Cecilia and Andrew are siblings and Cecilia’s father is John Sanderson Turnbull is shown by: “Deaths: Turnbull. On May 20, at her son in-law's residence, Mr HR Bentley, No 26 Carlton road, Gawler, Jane, the dearly beloved wife of John Sanderson Turnbull, and loving mother of Andrew and Cecilia aged 74 years. At rest.” News (Adelaide), Wednesday 20 May 1942 p4 (9). “Turnbull. On November 23, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs HR Bentley, Calton road, Gawler, John Sanderson, beloved husband of the late Jane Turnbull, aged 78 years.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 24 November 1943 p8 (10). None of all this helps find Cecilia’s date of birth and why she doesn’t show up on birth records 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bentley_harry_&_cecilia_jane.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVudGxleQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I303092 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=sabmd&recno=671241 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44646541?searchTerm=turnbull%20bentley&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/60630351?searchTerm=turnbull%20bentley&searchLimits= 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=VHVybmJ1bGw=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/128549975?searchTerm=turnbull%20bentley%20Gawler&searchLimits= 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48775565?searchTerm=turnbull%20bentley%20Gawler&searchLimits= 951 William Henry Bentley died aged 79 yrs on 9 April 1938; his wife Harriett Bentley died aged 83 on 30 Jan 1947 (1), although admittedly I had to rely a little on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2) for the detail which is very hard to decipher. The William Bentley Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that William Henry Bentley was married in 1884 to Harriet Jones in the Kapunda District (3). According to data found on the LDS website, William Henry Bentley was born in 1859 (father George Bentley) and was married on 5 Mar 1884 in Hamilton SA to Harriet Jones who was born on 10 Dec 1863 at Flagstaff Anlaby SA. The children of William Henry Bentley and Harriet Jones included [1] William George Bentley born 19 Mar 1884 Hamilton, died 31 Mar 1884 Hamilton; [2] Emily Florence Immaculate Bentley born 18 Mar 1885 Hamilton; [3] Ada Mary Bentley born 20 Feb 1887 Hamilton; [4] George Thomas Bentley born 7 Oct 1888 Gawler; [5] Ellen Rose Bentley born 4 Apr 1890 Gawler; [6] Edith Bentley born 13 Oct 1892 Gawler; [7] Maud Alice Bentley born 23 Mar 1894 Gawler; [8] Ruby Stella Bentley born 22 May 1896 Gawler; [9] Agnes Bentley born 10 Jun 1899 Willaston, died 10 Dec 1901 Willaston; [10] Walter Alfred Bentley born 6 Sep 1901 Willaston; [11] ‘Living’ daughter Bentley (4). Further information on the LDS site about this family is that the parents of Harriet Jones were Samuel Jones and Mary Jane Symes; [2] Emily Florence
Immaculate Bentley was married on 18 Aug 1903 in Gawler to Henry James Hampel; [4] George Thomas Bentley was married on 11 Oct 1909 in Peterborough to Edith Zephyr Watson; [5] Ellen Rose Bentley was married on 27 Mar 1914 in Loxton to George Kerr; [6] Edith Bentley was married on 12 Jul 1916 in Port Pirie to Leslie James Murray; [8] Ruby Stella Bentley was married on 9 Dec 1916 at Black Forest SA to Percival Thomas Taylor (5). The ‘all Bentley’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that the last child [11] ‘Living’ daughter Bentley was Hilda Dorothy Bentley b1904 to parents William Henry Bentley and Harriet Jones in the Barossa District (6). The RootsWeb birth data for SA does not show a William Henry (nor a Henry William) Bentley birth. Deaths: “Bentley. On the 9th of April, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, William Henry, the dearly loved husband of Harriet Bentley, and loving father of Emily, Ada, George, Edie, Maude, Stella, Walter, and Dorothy, aged 79 years. RIP.” The Advertiser, Monday 11 April 1938 p12 (7). Deaths: “Bentley. —On January 30, at Gawler, Harriett, relict of William Bentley, and loved mother of Emily (Mrs Hampel, Semaphore); Ada (Mrs Gillen, Gawler) Maude (Mrs Davies, Tibbuburra NSW), Edith (Mrs Murray (Semaphore), Walter (Croydon), Stella (Mrs Taylor, Gawler), Doll (Mrs Fergusson, Port Pirie), Nellie (Mrs Kerr, deceased) George (deceased), Millie (deceased).” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 6 February 1947 p31 (8). There’s no sign of a William Henry Bentley date of birth, just in the year 1859. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bentley_william_henry_&_harriett.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVudGxleQ==&g=V2lsbGlhbQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I122165&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F34624&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QmVudGxleQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30860016?searchTerm=william%20henry%20bentley&searchLimits= 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93346590?searchTerm=william%20henry%20bentley%20Harriett&searchLimits= 952 James Bentley died aged 77 yrs on 19 May 1976; his wife Elva Bentley died aged 89 yrs on 28 July 1999 (1), making their calculated years of birth to be c1899 and c1910 respectively. There’s no James Bentley marrying an Elva on GenealogySA’s Marriage Index (2), but this death notice gives us Elva’s maiden name: “Deaths: Morrow. On September 19, at Royal Adelaide Hospital, Arthur WH, beloved husband of Lily Morrow, of Adelaide rd, Gawler South, and loved father of Elva (Mrs J Bentley, Richmond), and Esma (Mrs DG Gurney, Gawler) and grandpa of Glenys and Joan. Aged 69 years. Rest after weariness.” The Advertiser, Saturday 20 September 1947 p22 (3). A search of SA births at the website of RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people doesn’t show a suitable James Bentley except possibly a James Conroy Bentley who was born on 18 Feb 1900 in Parkside, Adelaide SA to parents Abraham Bentley and Margaret Conroy (4). However, a search on the Gawler World War One Honour Roll has a James Bentley who was born in 1898 in Broken Hill NSW, the son of Rose Alice Chynoweth Bentley of Gawler [a brother of George, and son of Thomas Friend Bentley – see Note 949]. An electrician before he enlisted on 16th October 1915, Adelaide as a private in 10th Battalion, leaving for overseas on 9th March 1916 from Adelaide aboard RMS Mongolia. He returned to Australia on 4th September 1919 aboard HT Takada (5). This James Bentley has the correct family to be buried in Willaston. Being born in NSW he would not appear on RootsWeb for SA births, but Elva Morrow was born Elva Jessie Morrow on 29 Oct 1909 in Gawler to parents Arthur William Halford Morrow and Ada Lily Rusby. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bentley_james_&_elva.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmVudGxleQ==&g=SmFtZXM=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36000377?searchTerm=Bentley%20Elva&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I303098 5 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/b.html 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I602456 953 Edward Robert Herman Bittner died aged 73 yrs on 7 May 1940; his wife Lydia Caroline Bittner died aged 67 yrs on 22 Nov 1941, they had children (1). The Edward Bittner Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1895, Edward Robert Herman Bittner married Caroline Lydia Fiegert in the KapundaDistrict (2). Searching the SA births data at RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Edward Robert Hermon[sic] Bittner was born on 10 Jul 1866 in North Rhine SA to parents Friedrich Julius Robert Bitnner and Maria Augusta Wilhelmina Polack (3), and Caroline Lydia Fiegert was born as Lidia Caroline Fiegert on 14 Jul 1874 in Bethel SA to parents August Fiegert and Anna Altus (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bittner_edward_robert_hermann_&_lydia_caroline.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qml0dG5lcg==&g=RWR3YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I307868 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I720825 954 Bridget Theresa Blake died aged 28 yrs {in her 29th year} on 12 July 1868, wife of P Blake, eldest daughter of John and Ellen ?M Owen? The other 3 children buried here are Hellena ?Owen who died aged 9 mths on 20 Dec 1851, William ?Owen who died aged 8 yrs on 7 Feb 1852, and Mary Ann ?Owen who died aged 18 yrs on 25 Feb 1862 (1), this headstone has been moved to Willaston Cemetery from the original Gawler Cemetery at Pioneer Park. Looking at the names on a transcript of the Pioneer Park Cemetery we find not “M Owen” but McEwen. Hellena McEwen died aged 9 mths in 1851; William McEwen died aged 8 yrs in 1853; and Mary Ann McEwen died aged 18 yrs in 1862 (2). The ‘P Blake’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Patrick Blake was married in 1861 to Bridget Teresa McEwin[sic] in the Barossa District (3). So it is not John M Owen and Ellen M Owen, but John McEwen and Ellen McEwen, and it is four deceased McEwen children buried here, Hellena McEwen, William McEwen and Mary Ann McEwen buried along with Bridget Teresa Brady nee McEwen. According to the Inquest Report, Mrs John McEwen of Gawler River died on 14 Sept 1870, whilst she was depressed. Others mentioned in the report are her daughters Catherine Theresa Robinson or Robertson, and Ellen McEwen, husband John McEwen, a Mr Blake (son-in-law Patrick). Deceased aged 50-60, called Helen / Ellen. The full inquest report can be read in the South Australian Register, Saturday 17 September 1870 p7 (4). From his obituary, John McEwen had clearly remarried: “Gawler, July 8. Mr John McEwen, farmer, of Gawler River, died this morning at the age of 91 years. The deceased arrived in the colony in 1840, and came to Gawler 52 years ago. He built the Prince Albert Hotel and occupied it for a number of years, and he was a member of the Gawler Council in 1861. Mr McEwen also engaged in farming at Gawler River, where he died. He leaves a widow and three sons.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 10 July 1897 p13 (5). Bridget’s death: “Deaths. Blake. On the 12th July, in the 29th year of her age, Bridget, the beloved wife of P Blake, Prince Albert Hotel, Gawler” The South Australian Advertiser, Tuesday 14 July 1868 p2 (6). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that a Mary McEwin[sic] was born on 17 Feb 1843 in Adelaide to parents John McEuen and Ellen Conlin (7), but I couldn’t find birth details on RootsWebfor Bridget, Hellena or William McEwen. On a website of Ancestry.com, we find a page called FamilyTreeMaker, who notes the details for Mary Ann McEwen who was born on 17 Feb 1843 to parents John McEwen and Ellen Condon[sic], and died aged 17[sic] yrs on 25 Jan[sic] 1862 in Gawler {My maths tells me she was definitely 18 years old
when she died}. Mary is buried in the Gawler Pioneer Cemetery (8). Still on that website, John McEwen married Ellen Condon, daughter of John Condon. The children of John McEwen and Ellen Condon were [1] Mary Ann McEwen born 17 Feb 1843 Adelaide, died 25 Jan 1862 Gawler; [2] William McEwen born 22 Mar 1846, died Abt 1854; [3] Catherine McEwen born 6 Oct 1848; [4] Heleana McEwen born 1850, died 20 Dec 1850; [5] Ellen McEwen born 14 Oct 1851 Gawler Town; [6] John McEwen born 7 Feb 1855 Gawler Town, died 6 Nov 1899 Gawler (9). These dates are a little rubbery, we know from the Pioneer Park records that Heleana died in 1851, not 1850. John McEwen, son of John McEwen died aged 44 yrs on 6 Nov 1899, not 7 Nov: “Deaths: McEwen: On the 6th November, John McEwen jun, son of the late John McEwen, aged 44 years, leaving a widow and four children to mourn their loss” Bunyip, Friday 17 November 1899 p2 (10). Although I cannot confirm my suspicion, I think that William McEwen may have been born in 1845, not 1846, as it says he was nearly 7 yrs old when he died, not the 8 yrs old as stated. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/blake_bridget_theresa.jpg 2 http://headstones.weebly.com/gawler-old-pioneer-park.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/39197698?searchTerm=John%20McEwen&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87697592?searchTerm=john%20mcewen%20gawler&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/31980208?searchTerm=bridget%20blake%20Gawler&searchLimits= 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I114794 8 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/g/r/a/Peter-James-Grant-Ridgehaven/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-1134.html 9 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/g/r/a/Peter-James-Grant-Ridgehaven/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-1129.html 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97582062?searchTerm=john%20mcewen&searchLimits= 955 Henry Hurtle Blencowe died aged 85 yrs on 19 Nov 1970; Edith Grace Blencowe died aged 75 yrs on the 26 Oct 1973 (1). The Henry Blencowe Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Henry Hurtle Blencowe was married in 1921 to Edith Grace Walter in the Highercombe District (2). Turning to the SA births data at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we see that Henry Herttle[sic] Blencowe was born on 11 Apr 1884 at One Tree Hill SA to parents Robert Blencowe and Isabella Ranken McConell (3), and Edith Grace Walter was born on 20 May 1898 at Humbug Scrub SA to parents Edward Adam Walter and Mary Bowman (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/blencowe_henry_&_hurtle_&_edith_grace.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmxlbmNvd2U=&g=SGVucnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I309124 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I408597 956 Bertie Blight died aged 76 yrs on 1 March 1971; Hilda Blight died aged 93 yrs on 20 July 1997 (1), making their years of birth c1895 and c1904 respectively. Are they a married couple or otherwise related such as siblings or cousins? And was his name really Bertie, or was it Herbert, Albert or something similar? It seems they were married as the Bertie Blight Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Bertie Ronald Blight was married in 1933 in the Barossa District to Hilda Fanny Nohren (2). Searching the SA births posted on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, we see that Birtie[sic] Renold[sic] Blight was born on 1 Oct 1895 at Wallaroo Mine, Wallaroo SA to parents Isaac Blight and Mary Jane Rundle (3), and Hilda Fanny Nohren was born on 22 May 1904 in Thebarton, Adelaide SA to parents Henry Nohren and Jemima Matthews (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/blight_bertie_&_hilda.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QmxpZ2h0&g=QmVydGll&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I309279 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I231138 957 Aneta Blight died aged 70 yrs on 18 Oct 1956 (1), and admittedly I had some help from the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery“B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2) to read this barely legible headstone. The Aneta Blight Death Index shows that Aneta Adelaide Blight died in Gawler in 1956, with nominated relative HS Blight [PR] whatever PR means. It is noted that there was another Aneta Blight (no middle name) who died in the Daly District in 1933 with her nominated relative her father Joseph Blight (3). Joseph Blight died in 1950: “In Memoriam. In loving memory of Mr Blight, who passed away August 21st, 1950. Always remembered by Mrs Hartley and family.”: “In loving memories of my dear brother Joe, called home on August 21st, 1950. Ever remembered by his loving sister, Aneta.” : “In loving memory of our dear dad and grandfather, who passed away August 21st, 1950. Always remembered by Lawrence, Lil and Julie.” : “Fond memories of our dear father, who passed away August 21st, 1950. Sadly missed by Audrey, son-in-law David, grandson Peter.” : “In loving memory of our dear husband and father who passed away on August 21st, 1950. Sadly missed by his wife Ethel and son Kevin.” The Kadina and Wallaroo Times, Thursday 20 August 1953 p2 (4). Aneta was Joseph Blight’s sister, and presumably she was still a Blight, and so likely to have not married, as she died 6 yrs later. On the website for World War I Pictorial Honour Roll of South Australians (Bi-Bl) we find Private Joseph Henry Blight served in 50th Battalion, 2nd Reinforcements. He was born 13 May, 1881, Clunes, Victoria and his Next of Kin: Sister: Aneta Adelaide Blight, Wallaroo Mines, South Australia. His occupation prior to Enlistment was a Miner, and was single when he enlisted 9th March, 1916, at Kadina, South Australia. He served in France, and was wounded in action four times, losing his leg in his final action. He returned to Australia 13 May 1919 per “Dunluce Castle” and was discharged Medically unfit 1 September, 1919. He died 18th August, 1950 (5). So there is a good chance that Aneta Blight, born five yrs after Joe was also born in Victoria, explaining why she doesn’t appear amongst the birth records of GenealogySA or on RootsWeb. If Aneta is related to Bertie, it may be through Wallaroo Mines and Bertie’s father Isaac Blight. On a perusal of a website belonging to Ancestery.com called Message Boards, I came across “My Name is Rebecca Roberts and i am researching my grandfathers family tree. Not much is known about the Blight side of his family so i am hoping someone out there does. My grandfather was Kevin Henry Blight, born 13 March 1936, died 4th October 2003. His Father was Joseph Henry Blight, born 13 May 1881 and married Ethel May Cock. Josephs Father was Isaac Blight, born 4 February 1853 and married Mary Jane Rundle, born 23 August 1857. This is as much as i know.” Posted: 22 Jan 2005 1:35AM GMT. A reply to Rebecca said “Hello Rebecca, ... I have a relative Hilda Fanny Blight nee Nohren who married another son of Isaac and Mary Jane = Bertie Ronald Blight born 1895 in District of Daly. Bertie and Hilda lived in Gawler and are buried in the nearby Willaston Cemetery. I have known about them for years but only just placed them in my Family Tree today and came across your post when searching for info on Isaac and Mary Jane. Best Jilly.” From Jilly Limb, Posted: 10 Jan 2014 5:41AM GMT (6). So this confirms a link to Bertie and Hilda [Note 956] 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/blight_aneta.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=2&s=QmxpZ2h0&g=QW5ldGE=&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/110402416?searchTerm=Aneta%20Blight&searchLimits=

On the SA birth data at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people Fred Board was born on 24 Nov 1899 at Inkerman SA to parents William Board and Elizabeth Frazer (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/board_fred.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I312760 Pauline Bock died aged 68 yrs on 19 Sept 192_; William Bock died aged 82 yrs on 25 July 1932; parents (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Pauline Bock died in 1928 (2), but I cannot see that it says that on the headstone. In fact, the Pauline Bock search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows that the Memorial Inscription has Pauline Bock dying aged 68y in 1920 (3). This is confirmed by the 1920 Death Notice: “Deaths: Bock. On the 19th September, at Wasleys (suddenly), AE Pauline, the dearly beloved wife of JW Bock, aged 68 years.” The Register (Adelaide), Monday 20 September 1920 p4 (4). There being no William Bock on GenealogySA’s Marriage Index, we need to look elsewhere for Pauline’s maiden name. The ‘all Bock Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Bock and mother’s name Pauline __ shows 9 such births, which I’ll cite in full to show the variations in the parents’ names: [1] Wilhelm Adelbert Bock b1876 to parents Johannes Wilhelm Bock and Anna Elisbeth Pauline Schulz in the Angaston District; [2] Edward Henry Bock b1878 to parents William Bock and Pauline Schultz in the Angaston District; [3] Martha Elisabeth Bock b1879 to parents Wilhelm Bock and Paulina Schultz in the Angaston District; [4] John William Bock b1880 to parents John William Bock and Pauline Shultz in the Frome District; [5] Frederick Charles Bock b1882 to parents William Bock and Pauline Schultz in the Frome District; [6] George Edwin Bock b1884 to parents John William Bock and Pauline Schultz in the Frome District; [7] Selma Helena Bock b1887 to parents Johannes Wilhelm Bock and Pauline Schultz in the Frome District; [8] Clara Amelia Bock b1889 to parents John William Bock and Paulina Schultz in the Frome District; [9] Agnes Mary Bock b1894 to parents John William Bock and Paulina Schultz in the Frome District (5). According to the LDS data, Johannes Wilhelm Bock was born on 19 Jul 1850 at Grunthal SA and died 25 Jul 1932 SA. His parents were Johann Gottlieb Bock (born 1 Jan 1808 Germany, d1872 SA) and Henriette Wilhelmine Kruger (born 9 Apr 1817 Germany, died 3 Aug 1896 Keyneton SA). Johannes Wilhelm Bock was an implement foundry proprietor, postmaster and farmer who lived at Yanyarrie. He was married aged 23 yrs on 25 Sep 1873 at North Rhine SA to Anna Elisabeth Paulina Schultz aged 20 yrs (born 29 Dec 1852 Langmeil SA to parents Johann Gotthilf Schultz and Johanna Louise Miegel). Anna Elisabeth Paulina Schultz died 19 Sep 1920 SA. The children of Johannes Wilhelm Bock and Anna Elisabeth Paulina Schultz included [1] Wilhelm Adelbert Bock born 24 Sep 1876 North Rhine SA, d1954; [2] Edward Henry Bock born 26 Feb 1878 North Rhine, d1933; [3] Martha Elisabeth Bock born 8 May 1879 Nuriootpa, d1966; [4] John William Bock b1881, d1931; [5] Frederick Charles Bock born 13 Oct 1882 Yanyarrie SA, d1931; [6] George Edwin Bock born 11 Oct 1884 Yanyarrie, d1918; [7] Selma Helena Bock born 16 Mar 1887 Yanyarrie, d1935; [8] Clara Amelia Bock born 14 Jul 1889 Yanyarrie, d1978; [9] Agnes Mary Bock born 26 Mar 1894 Yanyarrie, died 2 Apr 1894 Yanyarrie (6). Still on the LDS website, the marital history of their children is mentioned: [2] Edward Henry Bock was married on 19 Apr 1901 in Adelaide to Anna Elizabeth Aesche; [3] Martha Elisabeth Bock was married on 17 Sep 1908 in Adelaide to Arthur Samuel Pinson; [6] George Edwin Bock was married on 14 Mar 1912 in Adelaide to Emma Reschke; [7] Selma Helena Bock was married on 15 Mar 1913 in Adelaide to Walter Gustav Liebich (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bock_pauline_&_william.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=Qm9jaw==&g=UGF1bGluZQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/57921365?searchTerm=pauline%20bock&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Qm9jaw==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I44403&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F11286&tree=SouthAustralia Herbert Bode died aged 83 yrs on 14 Aug 1935; his wife Henrietta Susannah Bode died aged 93 yrs on 22 Oct 1947 (1). The Herbert Bode Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1896 Herbert Bode was married to Henrietta Susannah Kewson in the Barossa District (2). Neither Herbert Bode nor Henrietta Susannah Kewson are mentioned on the SA births data at RootsWeb, and the LDS website doesn’t help. Herbert Bode dies: “Deaths: Bode. On the I4th August, at his residence, Wasleys, Herbert, beloved husband, of Henrietta Bode, aged 83 years. At rest.” The Advertiser, Thursday 15 August 1935 p8 (3). Henrietta Susannah Bode nee Kewson dies: “Deaths: Bode. On October 22, at Gawler, Henrietta Susannah, beloved wife of the late Herbert Bode, of Wasleys and loved mother of Isabel (Mrs HH Hancock). Aged 94 years. “Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 30 October 1947 p34 (4). Interestingly, the ‘all Bode’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Herbert Bode and Henrietta Susannah Kewson show no children, but in 1898 in the Port Gawler District, Isabel Frances Henrietta Georgina Bode was born to parents Herbert Bode and Henrietta Susannah Hill (5). So had Henrietta been married before? 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bode_herbert_&_henrietta_susannah.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qm9kZQ==&g=SGVyYmVydA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/40067127?searchTerm=herbert%20bode&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93223665?searchTerm=henrietta%20bode&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Qm9kZQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== Reginald Thomas Bohn died aged 78 yrs on 13 May 1989; his wife Alma Lesette Bohn died aged 82 yrs on 28 May 1995; parents of Barry (1). The Reginald Bohn Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1934 in the Barossa District, Reginald Thomas Bohn was married to Alma Lesette Frahm (2). A search on SA births available on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Reginald Thomas Bohn was born on 7 Jun 1910 nr Sandy Creek SA to parents Julius Lewis Bohn and Rose Adams Kennewell (3), and Alma Lesette Frahm was born as Lizetta Alma Frahm on 29 Oct 1912 in Bower SA to parents Carl Heinrich Ernest Frahm and Henrietta Lizetta Thiele (4). Rose Bohn died aged 91 years on 24 July 1961 (5), this presumably being Reginald Thomas Bohn’s mother. On the LDS website, Rose Adams was born 2 Oct 1869 at Williamstown SA to parents John Adams (b1838) and Dinah Smith (b1839), who had married on 30 Apr 1858 at Gawler River. Rose Adams was first married aged 15 yrs on 29 Jun 1885 at Gawler to Andrew James Kennewell aged 22 yrs (born 6 Nov 1862 Wakefield SA, died 16 Sep 1903 Wallaroo Mines SA. Their children included [1] Amos Andrew Kennewell born 10 Feb 1887 Yatta Creek SA; [2] Laura Hilda Kennewell born 1 Jan 1890 Yatta Creek; [3] Gertrude Violet Kennewell born 27 May 1892 Barossa Diggings, died 13 Feb 1893 Barossa Goldfields; [4] Rachel Ann Kennewell born 1 Sep 1893 Barossa Diggings; [5] Royal Samuel Kennewell born 10 Aug 1895 Barossa Diggings; [6] Linda Mary Gladis Kennewell born 29 Sep 1897 Barossa Diggings [see also Note 246]; [7] John Charles Kennewell born 20 Nov 1899 Barossa; [8] Clarence James Kennewell born 18 Mar 1901 Barossa; [9] Frederick Oswald Kennewell
born 9 Nov 1902 Barossa. Subsequent to her first husband’s death in 1903, Rose Kennewell nee Adams was married on 29 Mar 1904 in Gawler to Julius Lewis Bohn b1868 (5). The ‘all Bohn’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Julius Lewis Bohn and Rose Kennewell / Adams show a further three children, all born in the Barossa District [10] William Henry Lewis Bohn b1906 to parents Lewis Julius Augustin Bohn and Rose Adams; [11] Marjorie Rose Etta Bohn b1907 to parents Julius Lewis Bohn and Rose Adams Kennell; [12] Reginald Thomas Bohn b1910 to parents Julius Lewis Bohn and Rose Adams Kennewell (6). William [Bill] Bohn died aged 79 yrs on 28 May 1985; his wife Dorothy Bohn died aged 79 yrs on 8 Dec 1990, parents of Marjory, Bill, Betty and Kevin (7). Both were in their 80th year, not 80 years old. It is most likely that William [Bill] Bohn is the [10] William Henry Lewis Bohn mentioned above. The ‘all Bohn’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1929 William Henry Lewis Bohn was married to Dorothy Isabel Dean in the Flinders District (8). Back on RootsWeb, William Henry Lewis Bohn was born on 13 Feb 1906 in Sandy Creek SA to parents Lewis Julius Augustin Bohn and Rose Adams (9), and Dorothy Isabel Dean was born Dorothy Isabella Dean on 18 Jan 1911 in Kadina SA to parents Alfred Dean and Sarah Hill (10). Barry Reginald Bohn, 18 year-old son of Mr & Mrs RT Bohn, of Edith Street, Gawler East, died In Royal Adelaide Hospital early Tuesday morning, following an accident near Smithfield the previous day. Barry had been cycling to Parafield where he was employed as an apprentice plumber. Swinging out from behind a hay truck, he rode head-on into an approaching car. A few minutes previously the truck, being driven south along the Main North Road by Joel Sam Schulz, of Eudunda, had passed Barry, separating him from cyclist companions Peter Knowles and Bruce L'Green, both of Gawler. Barry evidently intended catching up to them, but did not see the car being driven in a northerly direction by Francis William Joy, of Poochera, who unsuccessfully endeavoured to avoid a collision. A passing motorist, Dr Symes, and Dr P Hicks, of Gawler, attended Barry and he was taken by the Gawler Ambulance to Royal Adelaide Hospital and admitted suffering severe multiple injuries. He died about 6.30 am on Tuesday. The accident occurred at 7.20 am Monday, just south of Star Stud Farm. A well-known and enthusiastic member of the local Cycling Club, Barry often rode to work as part of his training, and had this purpose in mind on Monday. Preceding the long funeral cortege to Willaston Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon were Cycling Club members on their bicycles. Overflow of wreaths from the hearse followed in a second conveyance. Bunyip, Friday 6 February 1953 p1 (11). On a general Google search of Barry Reginald Bohn, I came across a website for “John Haberecht’s Family History” which revealed that Barry Reginald Bohn [born 10 Sep 1934 and died 3 Feb 1953] was the son of Reginald Thomas Bohn [born 7 Jun 1910] and Alma Lizette Frahm [born 29 Oct 1912] (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bohn_reginald_thomas_&_alma_lesette.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qm9obg==&g=UmVnaW5hbGQ=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I449752 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I508360 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I47968&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Qm9obg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bohn_william_%28bill%29_&_dorothy.jpg 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qm9obg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I318186 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I487623 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96900403?searchTerm=Barry%20Reginald%20Bohn&searchLimits= 12 http://www.users.on.net/~jhab/fh/wc05/wc05_014.htm 962 Donald Alfred Bond died aged 53 yrs on 7 Feb 1981, husband of Evelyn, father of Chris and Josie (1). Turning to the SA birth data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, Donald Alfred Bond was born on 25 Aug 1927 in Hawker SA to parents Wesley Alfred Bond and Gladys Ivy Pumpa (2). Donald Alfred Bond’s grandfather William Alfred Bond was born on 5 Jul 1863 in McLaren Vale to parents George Bond and Mary Ann Bowden (3). He doesn’t appear closely related to the other Bond family buried at Willaston. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bond_donald_alfred.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I450033 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I284439 963 Mary Boyne died aged 78 yrs on 31 March 1920; wife of John Boyne who died aged 93 yrs on 8 June 1926; their son James John (Jim) Boyne died aged 71 yrs on 27 Oct 1937 (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery does not record James John Boyne’s familial name of Jim (2), even though it is included in brackets on the headstone. The John Boyne Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows two John Boyne marriages. In 1862 john Boyne was married in the Kapunda District to Mary Nonan, and in 1893 John Boyne was married in the Frome District to Norah Ryan (3). It is possible that this 1893 wedding was of James John Boyne. According to the meagre data at the LDS website, John Boyne was born c1834 in Ireland and arrived in SA aboard the Bee in 1858. He was a labourer and farmer who lived at St Kitts. He was married aged 27 yrs on 29 Apr 1862 in Kapunda SA to Mary Nonan or Nolan aged 22 yrs, who was born c1839. There are two children recorded, although from the headstone, we know of at least one more. The two named on the LDS site were [1] Eliza Jane Boyne born 10 Feb 1863 nr Riverton SA; [2] Mary Boyne born 3 Jul 1868 Macaw Creek SA (4). According to the SA births at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, James John Boyne was born James Boyn[sic] on 1 Aug 1866 in Macaw Creek SA to parents John Boyn and Mary Nonan (5). John Boyne dies 1926-06-08 aged 93: “Deaths: Boyne. On the 8th June, at the residence of his daughter (Mrs M Anstey), Wiliiam-street, Bassett Town, John Boyne, late of Lower Wakefield, aged 93 years.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 12 June 1926 p42 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/boyne_mary,_john_&_james_john.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Qm95bmU=&g=Sm9obg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I173834&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I315738 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/89645395?searchTerm=john%20boyne&searchLimits= 964 Frieda Drage died aged 62 yrs on 14 Feb 1969, wife of Jack (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery names her Frieda Brace (2), but it seems more like Drage to me. The Frieda Drage Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when Frieda Louie Drage died in Gawler in 1969, the nominated relative was her living husband Jack Vincent Drage (3). On his headstone, Jack V Drage was born on 19 Aug 1909 and died on 07 Dec 1987; husband of Rene, father of Gwen (4). The Jack Drage Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows Jack Vincent Drage was married in the Clare District in 1932 to Emily Mollie Smith (3), but they do not show any other marriages he may have had. The Emily Drage Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Emily Mollie Drage died in the Clare District in 1940, with her husband Jack Vincent Drage her nominated relative (3). The Emily Drage search on GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries shows a Memorial Inscription at Laura Cemetery noting that Emily Molly[sic] Drage died in 1940 aged 45 yrs (3). This means that Jack V Drage

must have married Frieda after 1940, but I cannot find a newspaper marriage notice for this, so we do not know Frieda’s maiden name. However, there is no doubt in my mind that although we cannot find her maiden name, and hence her precise date of birth, it is Frieda Drage buried here, not Frieda Brace, who incidentally has no records at all at GenealogySA. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Jack Vincent Drage born 19 Aug 1909 in Laura SA to parents John Edmund Drage and Mary Ann O’Loughlin (5), matching the dates on his headstone, and a search at RootsWeb of SA births that are given the name Frieda as one of their names shows 373 such births. Of these however, there is only one Frieda Louisa born c1907, and that is Frieda Louisa Gericke who was born on 26 Feb 1907 in Edithburgh SA to parents Heinrich Albert Gustav Gericke and Johanna Paulina Louisa Koth (6). It is tempting to say that it is our Frieda Drage, but I cannot find any corroboration of this. My further assumption is that after Frieda died in 1969, Jack Drage married for the third time, to the wife named on his headstone: Rene Drage 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brace_frieda.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/drage_jack.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I492592 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I513918 Adelaide Bradshaw died aged 43 yrs on 30 Jan 1924; wife of Harry Gerling Bradshaw who died aged 93 yrs on 3 Dec 1977 (1), making their calculated years of birth c1881 and c1884 respectively. The Harry Bradshaw Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Harry Gerling Bradshaw was married twice [1] in 1906 he married Adelaide Shaw in the Norwood District; [2] in 1934 he married Edith May Hillier in the Barossa District (2). The SA births data shown on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Harry Gerling Bradshaw was born on 3 Aug 1884 in Tarrawatta (now Angaston) to parents Gerling William Bradshaw and Annie Fletcher (3), and Adelaide Shaw was born as Ada Adelaide Shaw on 1 Apr 1880 in Adelaide to parents Edward Albert Shaw and Amelia Bruce (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bradshaw_adelaide_&_harry_gerling.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJhZHNoYXc=&g=SGFycnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I316479 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I334721 Adelaide Bradshaw died aged 43 yrs on 30 Jan 1924; wife of Harry Gerling Bradshaw who died aged 93 yrs on 3 Dec 1977 (1), making their calculated years of birth c1881 and c1884 respectively.

The SA births data shown on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Harry Gerling Bradshaw was born on 3 Aug 1884 in Tarrawatta (now Angaston) to parents Gerling William Bradshaw and Annie Fletcher (3), and Adelaide Shaw was born as Ada Adelaide Shaw on 1 Apr 1880 in Adelaide to parents Edward Albert Shaw and Amelia Bruce (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bradshaw_adelaide_&_harry_gerling.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJhZHNoYXc=&g=SGFycnk=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I316479 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I334721 Mary Brady died aged 59 yrs on 7 April 1878 (1), although the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Mary Brady died in 1876 (2), the headstone seems to say 1878. A search of Mary Brady at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery shows a Memorial Inscription saying that Mary Brady died aged 59 yrs in 1878 (3), agreeing with the later date. Mary Brady’s 1878 Death: “Brady. On the 7th April, after a long and painful illness, Mary, the beloved wife of Mr Owen Brady, Church Hill, Gawler, aged 59; fortified with the last rights of her Church. May the Lord have mercy on her soul.” The South Australian Advertiser, Thursday 18 April 1878 p16 (4). This Death Notice not only confirms her 1878 death, but tells us that she was married to Owen Brady, but not her maiden name. There is no Owen Brady Marriage Index at GenealogySA but their South Australia Cemeteries link shows that Owen Brady died aged 81 yrs in 1900 and is buried at Terowie Cemetery (5). The ‘all Brady’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Owen Brady and Mary __ shows two children born in the Barossa District SA, possibly more before her arrival [1] Ann Brady b1858 to parents Owen Brady and Mary Neill; [2] Michael Brady b1861 to parents Owen Brady and Mary O’Neil (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brady_mary.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJhZHk=&g=TWFyeQ==&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/73069058?searchTerm=mary%20brady&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJhZHk=&g=T3dlbg==&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJhZHk=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== James Brady died aged 51 yrs on 21 Sept 1885; his wife Mary Brady died aged 52 yrs on 29 March 1884; their daughters Kate Brady died aged 17 yrs on 16 Sept 1883, and Mary Brady died aged 21 yrs on 21 May 1884 (1). James dies: “Death. Brady. On the 21st September, at Willaston, James Brady, after a lingering illness, aged 51, a colonist of 31 years.” Bunyip, Friday 2 October 1885 p2 (2). This means James Brady arrived in SA c1854, aged 20 yrs, maybe even married in SA, and both his deceased daughters would have been born in SA. Mrs ry Brady dies: “Brady. On the 29th March, at Kangaroo Flat, of heart disease, Mary Brady, aged 52 years, the beloved wife of James Brady. A colonist of 35 years. South Australian Weekly Chronicle, Saturday 5 April 1884 p4 (3), indicating that she had arrived in SA aged 17 yrs in c1849, five years before James, so she most likely was married in Australia. Kate Mary Brady dies: “Brady. On the 17th September at Kangaroo Flat, Kate Mary Brady, third and beloved daughter of James and Mary Brady, aged 17 years.” South Australian Weekly Chronicle, Saturday 29 September 1883 p4 (4). Mary Ann __ Brady dies: “Brady. On the 21st May, at Gawler Belt, Mary Ann ????, oldest daughter of James Brady, aged 21 years.” The South Australian Advertiser, Wednesday 28 May 1884 p4 (5), unfortunately Mary Ann Brady’s second middle name is indecipherable but seems to have ~11 letters and may start with an “S”. Unfortunately RootsWeb has no birth details for either daughter 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brady_james,_mary,_kate_&_mary.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97211801?searchTerm=james%20brady&searchLimits= 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93148658?searchTerm=mary%20brady&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93174194?searchTerm=kate%20brady&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35960903?searchTerm=mary%20brady&searchLimits= Bridget Brady died aged 42 yrs on 19 Dec 1881; wife of Peter Brady who died aged 51 yrs on 19 May 1890; their son Hugh Brady died
aged 20 yrs on 22 April 1889 (1), making their calculated years of birth c1839, c1839 and c1869 respectively. The Peter Brady Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in Adelaide in 1861, Peter Brady was married to Bridget O’Loughlin (2). Like all the other Brady bunch, Hugh Brady doesn’t appear on the Birth Index of ‘all Brady’ Births at Genealogy SA, nor on RootsWeb, so again we need to turn to Trove to confirm details. Hugh dies of typhoid aged 19 yrs: “Brady. On the 23rd April, at Gawler, after a few days' painful illness, of typhoid fever, Hugh Brady, second son of Peter Brady, in his 20th year. Melbourne papers please copy.” South Australian Chronicle, Saturday 4 May 1889 p4 (3). Peter Brady dies: “Deaths. Brady. On the 19th May, at Gawler, Peter Brady, aged 51 years. A colonist of 36 years. Leaving six children to mourn his Ioss.” Bunyip, Friday 30 May 1890 p2 (4). Peter Brady arrived in SA c1854, as did James Brady (Note 967). Possibly they are brothers, but the LDS website does not recognize them. It may be significant that when Hugh Brady died, the Melbourne papers were notified, so all the Brady birth details may be on the Victorian birth register in stead of the SA one I’ve been accessing. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brady_bridget,_peter_&_hugh.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJhZHk=&g=UGV0ZXI=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/91535180?searchTerm=hugh%20brady&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97231760?searchTerm=peter%20brady&searchLimits= 969 Frank Harold Bray died aged 50 yrs on 3 Sept 1929; his wife Janie Bray died aged 70 yrs on 26 Aug 1948 (1), making their calculated years of birth c1879 and c1880 respectively. The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Frank Harold Bray was 50 years old when he died, and it names Janie Bray incorrectly as Jane and I’m not sure that the age is correct at 68 years, as the headstone’s first digit of her age seems to be a ‘7’, and not a ‘6’ (2). “Frank Harold Bray (50), a gardener and orchardist of Loos, Gawler River, was found dead in a barn shortly after noon on Monday. About three months ago he was the victim of a serious burning accident, and had since suffered from nerves. Mrs Bray last saw her husband alive at 7am, when he seemed morbid and irritated.” The Advertiser, Wednesday 4 September 1929 p9 (3). Whilst this age at death tends to validate the “B” data page, I still maintain that the headstone actually says ‘51’ years. Janie Bray’s death: “Deaths: Bray. On August 26 (suddenly), at her residence, 21 Daly street, Gawler, Janie, widow of Frank H Bray, and loved mother of Harold, Collin, Graham and Lawrence. Aged 68 years.” The Advertiser, Friday 27 August 1948 p12 (4). The Frank Bray Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1907 in the Clare District, Frank Harold Bray was married to Janie Morrow (5). The SA Births Data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people tells us that Frank Harold Bray was born on 13 Mar 1878 at Gawler River to parents James Bray and Ellen Goss (6), but there is no Janie Morrow on the RootsWeb data. This date of birth confirms that he was indeed 51 yrs when he died. Janie Morrow was possibly born in Qld: “Marriages: Bray-Morrow. On the 27th November, at the Methodist Church, Port Pirie, by the Rev HC Farley, Frank Harold, third son of James Bray, Gawler River, to Janie, third daughter of the late James Morrow, Brisbane.” The Advertiser, Thursday 19 December 1907 p6 (7). According to the LDS data, Frank Harold’s father was James Bray who was born [to parents William Bray and Elizabeth Trembath] on 1 Mar 1841 in Penzance, Cornwall, England and died on 2 July 1916 at Loos SA. James Bray arrived in SA aboard the Coldstream in 1865 and was a gardener by trade, who had resided in Payneham and Gawler River. He was married aged 27 yrs on 5 May 1868 in Payneham SA to Ellen Goss aged 28 yrs who was born 2 Aug 1838 Bideford, Devon, England [to parents Henry and Elizabeth Goss], and Ellen died 14 May 1897 at Loos (Gawler River). The children of James Bray and Ellen Goss included [1] Ella Bray born 9 Jan 1871 Payneham, died 19 Jan 1893 Gawler River; [2] Albert James Bray born 8 May 1873 Gawler River; [3] Horace Turner Bray born 8 Apr 1875 Gawler River; [4] Frank Harold Bray born 13 Mar 1878 Gawler River, d1929; [5] Harry Goss Bray born 27 Sep 1882 Gawler River (8). Some further information can also be found on the LDS site about the children of this family: [2] Albert James Bray was married on 16 Jul 1901 at Gawler River to Annie Elizabeth Dawkins; [3] Horace Turner Bray was married on 4 May 1899 in East Marden SA to Elsie Maud James; [4] Frank Harold Bray was married on 27 Nov 1907 in Port Pirie to Janie Morrow; [5] Harry Goss Bray was married on 10 Apr 1906 in Port Pirie to Mary Morrow (9). Still using the LDS data, Janie Morrow was born in 1879 and was married aged 28 yrs on 27 Nov 1907 in Port Pirie to Frank Harold Bray aged 29 yrs (10), and Mary Morrow was also born in 1879 and was aged 26 yrs when she was married 10 Apr 1906 Port Pirie to 23 year old Harry Goss Bray (11). Not surprisingly Mary Morrow is not amongst the births listed at RootsWeb either 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bray_frank_harold_&_jane.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29618877?searchTerm=frank%20harold%20bray&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43780477?searchTerm=janie%20bray&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJheQ==&g=RnJhbms=&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I289316 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5114923?searchTerm=morrow%20bray&searchLimits= 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I180265&tree=SouthAustralia 9 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F55144&tree=SouthAustralia 10 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I200093&tree=SouthAustralia 11 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I200096&tree=SouthAustralia 970 Ken Bray died aged 49 yrs on 24 May 1977, husband of Joan (1). A search of Newspaper Death Notices at GenealogySA for 1977 show several announcements for Kenneth Leonard (Ken) Bray in the Advertiser (2). A search of the SA Birth data at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Kenneth Leonard Bray was born on 24 Feb 1928 in Balaklava SA to parents Leonard Bloomfield Bray and Ester Lucy Simon (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bray_ken.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=5&s=QnJheQ==&g=S2Vu&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I453985 971 Myrle Florence Bray was born 8 Aug 1918 and died 9 Feb 2007; Laurence Goss Bray was born 1 Oct 1919 and died 22 Feb 2007 (1). There is no Laurence Bray Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so we must go to the old newspapers to find out Myrle Florence Bray’s maiden name. “Approaching Marriages: Groom—Bray. The marriage of Myrle F, second daughter of Mr and Mrs HL Groom, Leabrook, to Laurence G Bray, youngest son of Mrs J Bray, Gawler, will be solemnised at the Burnside Christian Church on May 10 at 6.30 pm. No reception.” The Advertiser, Monday 5 May 1947 p14 (2). Turning to the SA Birth lists at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people we see that Laurence Goss Bray was born on 1 Oct 1919 in Gawler to parents Frank Harold Bray and Janie Morrow (3), but Myrle Florence Groom doesn’t appear on RootsWeb. See Note 969 for discussion of Frank Harold Bray and Janie Morrow. The ‘all Bray’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking the offspring of Frank Harold Bray and Janie Morrow shows 5 children, all born in the Barossa District [1] James Harold Bray b1909; [2] Colin Edward Bray b1910; [3] Arthur Frackleton Bray b1912; [4] Graham Robert Bray b1914; [5] Laurence Goss Bray b1919 (4). Graham Robert Bray was born 22 Feb 1914 and died 28 June 2004, husband of Jean (5). Eva Jean Bray was

Back on RootsWeb, Graham Robert Bray was born on 22 Feb 1914 at Gawler River to parents Frank Harold Bray and Janie Morrow (7), confirming his being a brother Laurence Goss Bray, as well as the dates on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bray_myrle_florence_&_laurence_goss.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/74638290?searchTerm=Myrle%20Bray%20Laurence&searchLimits= 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I453917 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJheQ==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bray_graham_robert.jpg 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bray_eva_jean.jpg 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I453897 Martha Ruth Brereton died aged 81 years on 12 Oct 1967; wife of George Albert Arnold Brereton who died aged 84 yrs on 23 Sept 1976 (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that George Albert Arnold Brereton died in 1978 (2), but I think it says he died in 1976. The Savill Index for Funeral Notices appearing in the Advertiser Newspaper shows that Arnold Brereton appeared on 24 Sept 1976 (3). The George Brereton search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has George Albert Arnold Brereton’s death aged 84yrs in 1976 (4). The George Brereton Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that George Albert Arnold Brereton was married in the Clare District in 1912 to Martha Ruth Gardner (5). A search of SA Births at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows George Albert Arnold Brereton was born on 14 Oct 1891 in Tickera SA to parents William Brereton and Sarah Cornish (6), and Martha Ruth Gardiner[sic] was born on 10 Sep 1886 in Stockport SA to parents John Woodward Gardner and Mary Ann Patterson (7). These dates of birth and death for George Albert Arnold Brereton means that he was nearly 84 yrs when he died, if he died in 1978, he would have been close to 86 yrs old. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brereton_martha_ruth_&_george_albert_arnold.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=6&s=QnJlcmV0b24=&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJlcmV0b24=&g=R2Vvcmdl&c=&y=&r=MA== 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I318683 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I730112 Ellen Broderick died aged 30 yrs on 13 Nov 1930; wife of Patrick John Broderick who died aged 62 yrs on 31 May 1951 (1). The Patrick Broderick Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Patrick John Broderick was married in 1922 to Ellen Elizabeth McCarthy in the Hindmarsh District (2). A search of the SA Birth data at the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that like all the other Brodericks in this family, there is no record of the birth of Patrick John Broderick on RootsWeb, but at least we see that Ellen Elizabeth McCarthy was born on 7 Dec 1898 near Clare SA to parents Charles James McCarthy and Elizabeth Shinnick (3), making her 31 years old when she died. “Obituary: Mrs PJ Broderick: Mrs PJ Broderick, wife of one of the best known residents of Gawler, died suddenly last Friday. Mrs Broderick was formerly Miss Ellen McCarthy. She leaves a husband and four young children.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 20 November 1930 p20 (4). Confirmation of Ellen Broderick’s correct age: “Deaths: Broderick (nee McCarthy). On the 13th November, at her residence, Church Hill, Gawler, Ellen, the dearly beloved wife of Patrick John Broderick, in her 32nd year. RIP (Suddenly).” The Register News-Pictorial (Adelaide), Friday 14 November 1930 p7 (5). Patrick John Broderick dies: “Broderick.

We don’t know whether Broderick is her maiden or married name. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/broderick_mildred_hazel.jpg Nicholas Joseph Brogan died aged 75 yrs on 22 Jan 1975; his wife Vera Brogan died aged 80 yrs on 26 May 1985, parents of Bob, Shirley and Peter (1). The Nicholas Brogan Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Nicholas Joseph Brogan was married in 1924 to Vera Jessie McKinnon in the Clare District (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Nicholas Joseph Brogan was born Nicholas Brogan on 4 Jun 1899 in Georgetown SA to parents Patrick Brogan {born c1864} and Margaret Brown {born c1864} (3), but there was no record of a Vera Jessie or Jessie Vera McKinnon on RootsWeb, nor on GenealogySA.

The Frederick Brown Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Frederick William Brown was married in 1922 to Lillian Alice Johnson in the Norwood District (2). The ‘all Brown’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Frederick William Brown and Lillian Alice Johnson show two children [1] Frederick Charles Brown b1922 in the Norwood District; [2] Reginald Max Brown b1926 in Adelaide (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Frederick William Brown was born Frederich[sic] William Brown on 24 Jun 1887 in Gawler to parents Charles Augusta Brown and Mary Barritt (4), Lillian Alice Johnson was born Lilian[sic] Alice Johnson on 19 Nov 1898 in Quorn SA to parents Jacob Johnson and Emily Porter (5).

A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Leonard Barrett Brown was born on 10 Feb 1893 in Gawler to parents Charles August Brown and Mary Barrett (2). Thus Leonard Barrett Brown is a brother of Frederick William Brown [see Note 977], although there’s slight variations in the spelling of both parent’s names. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown_leonard_barrett.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I286499 Parnell Leonard Brown died aged 77 yrs on 4 Dec 1967; his wife Margaret Bridget Brown died aged 77 yrs on 29 June 1977 (1), making their calculated years of birth c1890 and c1900 respectively.

A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Parnell Leonard Brown was born on 5 Oct 1890 in Willaston to parents Walter Brown and Mary Ann Carmody (3), and Margaret B O’Brien was born Bridget Margaret O’Brien on 22 Mar 1897 in Bowden, Adelaide SA to parents Martin O’Brien and Bridget McMahon (4).

Returning to RootsWeb, Walter Brown was born on 9 Nov 1856 in Gawler to parents George Brown and Sarah Hebbard (7), Walter Frederick Brown was born on 18 Jun 1886 in Willaston to parents Walter Brown and Mary Ann Carmody (8), and Mary Ann Carmody was born on 27 Oct 1866 in Willaston to parents Martin Carmody and Mary Corrol (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown_parnell_leonard_&_margaret_bridget.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnJvd24=&g=UGFybmVsbA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I323404 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I171386 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown_walter_&_mary_ann_%28polly%29.jpg 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnJvd24=&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I323728 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I323738 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I257214 Ross Alvarez Brown died aged 66 yrs on 18 Jan 1990; his wife Monica Brown died aged 65 yrs on 27 July 1990; parents of Simon, Melanie and Gabrielle (1). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ross Alvarez Brown was born on 12 Nov 1923 in North Adelaide to Herbert Edward Brown and Mabel Gladys Hunt (2). There is no Ross Brown Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so we need to seek elsewhere to find his wife Monica’s maiden name. Their 1920s births mean that GenealogySA and RootsWeb won’t be of use finding their children, which would lead us to their mother’s maiden name, but searching on the Trove website through old newspapers was not helpful either. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/brown_ross_alvarez_&_monica.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I457569 Leonard John Bubner died aged 65 yrs on 19 Dec 1974; his wife Edith Bubner died aged 88 yrs on 1 July 2002, parents of John and Tony (1). The Leonard Bubner Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Leonard John Bubner was married in 1933 in the Port Adelaide District to Edith Louisa Day (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Leonard John Bubner was born on 27 Feb 1909 in Gawler to parents John Christian Bubner and Alice Mahala Selleck [see Note 713] (3), and Edith Louisa Day was born on 13 Jan 1914 in Semaphore SA to parents Hedley Percival Day and Eva Manuel (4). Anthony Hedley Bubner is the son of Leonard John Bubner and Edith Louisa nee Day: “Bubner.

The Jabez Bunting Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in 1896 in the Barossa District to Miriam May Mankey (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people does not show the birth of Jabez Bunting but it does show that Miriam May Mankey was born Mirian[sic] May Mankey on 26 Dec 1871 in Gawler to parents Thomas Jehns Mankey and Selina Jones (3). “Late Mr J Bunting: Mr Jabez Bunting has passed away. He had had a long association with Gawler. He came to South Australia from Melbourne, where his father was in business, and in partnership with a brother opened in Gawler as house painters and decorators. After the war Mr Bunting had a trip to England and on returning to Gawler transferred his business to his son Harold. He has left one son (Harold) and one daughter (Mrs John Hill).” Recorder (Port Pirie), Monday 12 June 1939 p2 (4). Leaving for England: Mr J Bunting, of Gawler. Mr Jabez Bunting, of Gawler, who will leave next week for an extended holiday in England, was born at Tipton, South Staffordshire. He is 61 years of age, and arrived at Melbourne in 1886. After six years' residence in Victoria, he came to South Australia and went to Gawler in 1892, where he has successfully conducted a decorative painter's business for 37 years. In his long residence at Gawler he has served the town well as a citizen. . ........ ..” News (Adelaide), Wednesday 27 March 1929 11 (5). I cannot find any reference that gives his precise date of birth, his being 18 yrs of age when he arrived in Australia. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bunting_miriam_may_%28minnie%29_&_jabez.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVudGluZw==&g=SmFiZXo=&c=&y=&r=MA==

Dulcie Victoria Burdett died aged 74 yrs on 25 April 1985, wife of Charlie, mother of the same (2). The Alfred Burdett Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Alfred John Burdett was married in Adelaide in 1932 to Dulcie Victoria Bates (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Alfred John Burdett was born Alfred Frederick John Burdett on 1 Jun 1906 in Kensington, Adelaide to parents John George Burdett and Maude Elizabeth Denton (4), and Dulcie Victoria Bates was born on 24 May 1910 in Unley, Adelaide to parents Arthur Bates and Ethel Victoria Lampe (5). There is an Alfred John Burdett who was born on 17 Oct 1910 in Norwood, Adelaide to parents Alfred Burdett and Elsie Maude Hicks (6), but his date of birth is much later that an our estimated date of c1907, and his father was Mr A Burdett. To ensure we have the correct Alfred John Burdett we need to check the details on the Marriage Notice of Alfred John Burdett and Dulcie Victoria Bates: “Bates—Burdett. On the 23rd July, at St Augustine's Church, Unley, Dulcie V, only daughter of Mr and Mrs A Bates, of Unley, to AJ (Charles), eldest son of Mr and Mrs J Burdett, of Colonel Light Gardens.” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 29 December 1932 p31 (7). Thus the Burdett who married the Bates had a father J Burdett, not A Burdett, and this means that the date of birth 1 June 1906 is the correct one, and that fits with being 82 yrs old when he died. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burdett_alfred_john_%28charlie%29.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burdett_dulcie_victoria.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVyZGV0dA==&g=QWxmcmVk&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I326955 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I441622 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I459534 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90627789?searchTerm=burdett%20bates&searchLimits= 984 Howard James Burdon died aged 79 yrs on 6 May 1990; husband of Vera Anna Burdon who died aged 92 yrs on 4 Nov 2001, parents of Kevin and Robert (1). The Howard Burdon Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Howard James Burdon was married in Gawler in 1935 to Vera Anna Traeger (2). The Howard Burdon Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Howard James Burdon was born in the Port Gawler District in 1910 to parents Walter Harrold Burden and Alice Watson (3). The ‘all Burdon’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Walter Harrold Burden and Alice Watson shows 5 children, with father’s spelling variations [1] Edward Harold Burden b1902 to father Walter Harold BURDEN in the Highercombe District; [2] Reta Elizabeth Burden b1904 to father Walter Harold Burden in the Highercombe District; [3] Elsie Emily Martha Burdon b1905 to father Walter Harold Burdon in the Highercombe District; [4] Howard James Burden b1910 to father Walter Harrold Burden in the Port Gawler District; [5] Melville Walter Burdon b1917 to father Walter Harold Burdon in the Port Gawler District (4). Still on the ‘all Burdon’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of father Burdon and mother Ida Myrtle shows the 1928 birth of Elsie May Burdon to parents Edward Harold Burdon and Ida Myrtle Scharnberg in the Port Gawler District (4). On a different headstone, Ida Myrtle Burden nee Scharnberg died aged 89 yrs on 5 June 1995 (5). Kathleen Burdon died aged 73 yrs on 12 July 1997, her husband Melville Burdon died aged 82 yrs on 20 Nov 1999 (6). Unfortunately there is no Melville Burdon Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so we must resort to newspaper searches. “Engagements: Adams—Burdon. The engagement is announced of Kathleen M, second daughter of Mr-Mrs NR Adams, Kapunda, to L/Sgt MW Burdon, AIF, youngest son of Mrs A and the late WH Burdon, Smithfield.” The Advertiser, Saturday 13 February 1943 p10 (7). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Melville Walter Burdon was born on 2 Oct 1917 in One Tree Hill SA to parents Walter Harold Burdon and Alice Watson (8), Vera Anna Traeger was born on 27 Oct 1909 in Eudunda to parents Adolph Wilhelm Traeger and Rosine Elizabeth Anna Neumann (9), and Ida Myrtle Scharnberg was born in 1906[sic] in Concordia SA to parents Hermann Henrich Edward Scharnberg and Mary Ann Hamilton (10). The RootsWeb birth records for Kathleen M Adams shows that Kathleen May ADAMS was born on 18 Nov 1923 in Kensington Park, Adelaide to parents Nathaniel Ray ADAMS and Florence May SAINT (11), confirming the engagement announcement saying she was the daughter of Mr NR Adams, and Howard James Burden[sic] was born on 30 Jul 1910 Smithfield SA to parents Walter Harrold Burden and Alice Watson (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burdon_howard_james_&_vera_anna.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVyZG9u&g=SG93YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnVyZG9u&g=SG93YXJk&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=QnVyZG9u&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burdon_ida_myrtle.jpg 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burdon_kathleen_&_melville.jpg 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48901480?searchTerm=Melville%20Burdon%20Kathleen&searchLimits= 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I459599 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I680963 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I264117 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I429157 12 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I459501 985 Mercy Burfield’s headstone says she arrived in SA 1939, and died in Gawler aged 67 yrs on 31 July 1884 (1), making her estimated year of birth c1817. The Mercy Burfield Death Index at GenealogySA shows two Mercy Burfield deaths. The first was in 1848 when Mercy Burfield died in Adelaide, the nominated relative being her father Robert Burfield. Then another Mercy Burfield died in the Barossa District in 1884, with nominated relative her deceased husband Robert Burfield (2), indicating that the two Mercy Burfields were mother and daughter. The ‘all Burfield’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Robert Burfield and mother Mercy __ shows at least five children were born to parents Robert Burfield and Mercy Potter, all born in Adelaide [1] Mary Jane Burfield b1841; [2] Hannah Burfield b1843; [3] Mercy Burfield b1845; [4] Mary Ann Burfield b1846; [5] Mercy Burfield b1852 (3). It is the Mercy Burfield b1845 who died aged 3 yrs in 1848, and Mary Ann Burfield died in 1867: “Death: Burfield. On the 20th February, of rheumatic fever, Mary Ann, the beloved daughter of Robert and Mercy Burfieid, of the Wharf Hotel, Port Adelaide, and Belair, aged 19 years.” South Australian Register, Thursday 21 February 1867 p2 (4). Mercy’s husband Robert Burfield died in 1878: “Coroners' Inquest: Death of an Old Colonist. The City Coroner (Mr T Ward JP) held an inquest at the Blackwood Inn, Belair, on Saturday, October 26, into the circumstances attending the death of an old resident in the neighborhood, named Robert Burfield, who was found dead under his cart in a creek on the previous day. Mr Enoch Shepley was Foreman of the Jury. The Coroner and Jury viewed the scene of the accident, a wooden bridge passing over a
creek. There was only room for one vehicle to pass, there being a post-and-rail fence on each side. On the side over which the spring-cart fell the fence was broken away. The cart was lying in the creek, which contained about two feet of water. Grace Caroline M Samson, wife of Walter Samson, said — On Friday evening at about a quarter to 6 o'clock I heard Mr Burfield calling to his horse to stop. Looked towards the, bridge near my house, and saw the horse and cart which deceased was driving fall over the side of the bridge. Ran to the spot, and found deceased lying with his face in the water. Something seemed to keep him down. ........ Mercy Burfield, wife of deceased said— My husband was about 60 years of age, and a colonist of 40 years standing. He left home at about a quarter to 5 o'clock for the purpose of getting a cask of water from the creek for household purposes. The Coroner, in summing up, remarked upon the untimely and sad death of such an old and respected colonist. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased went to the creek to procure water for household purposes. How the accident actually happened would never be known, as it was not fully witnessed by anybody. The presumption was that deceased was trying to place his dray into a convenient position for getting the water, when the horse backed into the fence, which, giving way, the horse, cart, and deceased were precipitated into the creek. The dray must have fallen on deceased, that he was unable to get up, and was suffocated by the water. The Jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased met his death by accidental suffo cation, and from injuries received by the fall.” South Australian Chronicle and Weekly Mail, Saturday 2 November 1878 p11 (5). Mrs Burfield then obviously moved to Gawler for reasons as yet unclear: “Death: Burfield. On the 30th July, at Daly-street, Gawler, Mercy Burfield, relict of the late Robert Burfield, of Blackwood Farm, Belair, aged 67; landed in August 27, 1839.” South Australian Register, Thursday 31 July 1884 p4 (6). Mercy Burfield’s obituary explains her presence in Gawler: “Death of Mrs Burfield. We have to-day to chronicle the death of another old colonist in the person of Mrs Burfield, who died at her residence, Daly Street, Gawier, on Wednesday, July 30. The deceased, with her husband, arrived in the colony, in the year 1839 by the ship Somersetshire. For many years after their arrival they resided at Port Adelaide, where Mr Burfield occupied a public position, and was one of the first Councillors in the municipality. He was also the prime mover in establishing the first Oddfellows Lodge in South Australia. He was the original proprietor of the land in Lyndoch Valley on which tha township now stands and which he had surveyed into allotments and sold. Many years ago they retired from business and went to reside on their property at Belair, where Mr Burfield died five years ago through an accident which occurred to him. After that Mrs Burfield came to reside at Gawler with her relations, and has continued there up to the present time. At the time of her death, which resulted from a long standing rheumatic affection and decay, she was 67 years of age. Mrs Burfield was the mother of Mrs W Barnet, the wife of the proprietor of this paper, and of Mrs W Miller, of Riverton. Mrs Burfield was buried in the Willaston Cemetery, on Thursday, July 31, at 3 o’clock pm., the remains being attended to the grave by a number of friends and relatives, many of whom had come from a distance. The Rev S Howard conducted the burial service. Thus one by one the pioneers of the colony pass from our midst. In a few years more there will be none remaining and the adventures and struggles of the early colonists will be only known as they are preserved by the press.” Bunyip, Friday 1 August 1884 p2 (7). At this stage I’ll quote the SA Births data as found on the website RootsWeb to note in more detail the birth of her daughter Hannah Burfield who was born on 29 Apr 1843 in New Port SA to parents Robert Burfield and Mercy Potter (8). Hannah Burfield was married to Mr William Barnet at Blackwood 9 March 1861 and died exactly 60 years later, 9 March 1921 at”Pine Lodge”, her residence in Duffield St Gawler.

A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Joseph Franklin Earl Burnell was born on 3 Aug 1908 in Hamley SA to parents John Earl Burnell and Edith May Hosking (3), and Daphne Joyce Johns was born on 21 Mar 1916 in Jerusalem, near Kadina SA to parents William Johns and Alderada Bailey (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burnell_joseph_franklin_&_daphne.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=QnVybmVsbA==&g=Sm9zZXBo&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I460457 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I554504 987 Vera Burnett died aged 75 yrs on 8 June 1975, her husband Harold Burnett died aged 76 yrs on 17 March 1977; parents of Ron (1). The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Vera Burnett died on the 6th June (2), bit it looks more like the 8th June to me. The Harold Burnett Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Harold Leslie James Burnett was married in Adelaide in 1923 to Vera May Toll (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Harold Leslie James Burnett was born on 15 Mar 1901 Nr Wasleys SA to parents James Burnett and Mary Fredericka Raneberg (4), and Vera May Toll was born in 1900 in Norwood, Adelaide to parents Charles Alfred Toll and Edith Page (5). According to the LDS website, Charles Alfred Toll was born on 17 Dec 1877 Norwood SA to parents Charles Walvisch Toll (b1852) and Elizabeth Martha Dangerfield (b1846), who had married on 1 Jan 1874 in Adelaide.

A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Leslie Albert Ernest Burnett was born on 9 Jun 1907 in Wasleys to parents James Burnett and Fredericka Raneburg (3), which makes Leslie a younger brother of Harold [Note 987].

There’s no Hilda Clarice Burnie Birth Index at GenealogySA, which means it more likely that Burnie is her married name. The ’all Burnie’ Marriage Index seeking a groom surnamed Burnie and a bride called Hilda Clarice is unsuccessful, as is the ’all Burnie’ Birth Index seeking mothers named Hilda Clarice. There are no births with surname Burnie on the RootsWeb listings of SA Births, and no Hilda or Clarice Burney either. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser Newspaper shows that the one for Hilda Clarice Burnie appeared on 20 Jan 1975 (3). I’m thinking that with the lack of information about this lady, she most likely was visiting from overseas when she died, as extensive searching of newspapers up to the mid1950s from all over Australia has failed to find any trace of her. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/burnie_hilda_clarice.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html Dennis Butler died aged 64 yrs on 7 March 1978 (1), although the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says he died in 1976 (2). The Dennis Butler search at GenealogySA’s South Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery notes that his Memorial Inscription says that Dennis Butler was 64 yrs when he died in 1978 (3). To run an independent check, the Savill Index for Funeral Notices in the Advertiser shows that the one for Dennis Butler appeared on 8 March 1978 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people does not show any birth records for Dennis Butler, nor does this appear on GenealogySA, nor does he appear on the World War Two Nominal Roll. So apart from calculating that he was born c1914, I cannot say where or when he was born 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/butler_dennis.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html Malcolm Thomas Butler died aged 61 yrs on 18 Oct 1988, husband of Mary, father of Jennifer, Philip, Carolyn and Rosemary (1). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Malcolm Thomas Butler was born 9 May 1927 in Gawler to parents Aubrey Eric Butler and Amy Jean Draper (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/butler_malcolm_thomas.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I461849 Joan Helen Butt died aged 77 yrs on 30 April 1984; her husband Harold James Butt died aged 90 yrs on 16 Aug 1987 (1). There is no Harold Butt Marriage Index at GenealogySA, nor were any births to Harold and Joan Butt shown on a review of ‘all Butt’ at the Birth Index. So far we haven’t been able to find Joan Helen’s maiden name on GenealogySA. A search on the website “The AIF Project” Australian ANZACS in the Great War 1914-1918 shows an entry for James Harold Edward Butt who was a farm-hand who enlisted 2 December 1915 as a private. He was still single, and his next of kin was his father, James W Butt, of Yaralla, Concord West, near Sydney NSW. He joined 31st Battalion, 5th Reinforcement and embarked aged 18 yrs for overseas from Melbourne, Victoria, on board HMAT A68 Anchises on 14 March 1916 (2). Whilst this may be the correct match, and the dates fit well, we still need a precise of birth, and the Gawler connection before I can claim it. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/butt_joan_helen_&_harold_james.jpg 2 https://www.aif.adfa.edu.au/showPerson?pid=41747 Janet Eadie Munro Butterworth was born on 19 Nov 1908 and died on 4 Jan 1983, wife of Thomas and mother of Ian and Wayne (1). Thomas James Butterworth was born on 23 April 1907 and died on 3 Feb 1990, husband of Janet, and father of Ian and Wayne (2). Wayne Alexander Butterworth died aged 46 yrs on 20 Sept 1989, husband of Miriam, father of David, Paul and Susan (3). There is no relevant Thomas Butterworth Marriage Index on GenealogySA. Wayne Alexander’s calculated year of birth c1943 is too recent to find his precise date of birth on genealogical sources, so I’ll try newspaper birth notices using Trove. Otherwise we can only run a general Google search and maybe strike it lucky. Unfortunately I’ve drawn a blank 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/butterworth_janet_eadie_munro.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/butterworth_thomas_james.jpg 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/butterworth_wayne_alexander.jpg Ralph Byerlee died aged 54 yrs on 1 July 1976; his wife Mabel Byerlee died aged 50 yrs on 12 Feb 1967; their daughter Cynthia Byerlee died aged 20 yrs on 1 July 1972 (1), making their approximate years of birth c1922, c1917 and c1952 respectively. Admittedly this family headstone is difficult to read, but if Ralph was 34 when he died in 1967 as it says on the “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, that would make his approx year of birth c1942, and he would be a 10 year old father of Cynthia. Surely it says 54 yrs, not 34 yrs. The Ralph Byerlee South Australia Cemeteries page at GenealogySA for Willaston Cemetery shows that his Memorial Inscription says he died in 1976 aged 54 yrs (3). There is no Ralph Byerlee Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so we must look at other ways to find out Mabel’s maiden name, which we now know to be ‘Alfred’: “Marriages: Alfred—Byerlee. The marriage of Mabel, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs RS Alfred, Willaston, to Ralph (AIF), younger son of Mr and Mrs FA Byerlee, of Rosefield, was solemnised by the Rev Wilson at St George's Church, Gawler on February 2“, The Advertiser, Tuesday 5 February 1946 p10 (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Mabel Alfred was born on 7 Jul 1916 in Renmark SA to parents Robert Samuel Alfred and Pearl Cherrington (5), and Ralph Byerlee was born Ralph Hartley Byerlee on 8 Mar 1922 in Murray Bridge SA to parents Frederick Aubrey Byerlee and Gladys Emma Wilkins (6), but Cynthia was born too recently for RootsWeb birth data (currently only up to 1928). A search using Trove shows her birth: “Byerlee (nee Alfred). On April 8, at Mannum DH, to Mabel and Ralph, of Copeville — a daughter. Thanking Dr Bennett and hospital staff”, The Advertiser, Wednesday 16 April 1952 p18 (7).

The Walter Marshall Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Walter Richard Fry Marshall was married in 1899 in the Barossa District to Margaret Goss (2), and the Walter Marshall Birth Index shows that Walter Richard Fry Marshall was born in 1872 in the Barossa District to parents Richard Marshall and Mary Ann Watson (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Walter Richard Fry Marshall was born on 27 Jul 1872 in Wasleys, Pinkertons Plains SA to parents Richard Marshall and Mary Ann Watson (4), and Margaret Goss was born on 24 Mar 1878 near Freeling SA to parents William Lawry Goss and Ellen Chapple (5). The ‘all Marshall’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Walter Richard Fry Marshall and Margaret Goss shows 5 children were recorded on GenealogySA as being born, all in the Barossa District, to this pair [1] Cyril Chappel Marshall b1900 (mother Margaret Gass[sic]; [2] Vera Frances Dorothy Marshall b 1901; [3] Lorna Marshall b1904; [4] Alice Doreen Lorna Marshall b1905; [5] Walter Ross Marshall b1908 (6). Cyril Chappel Marshall died aged 26 yrs on 8 July 1926, his wife Florence Nora Marshall died aged 97 yrs on 29 May 1998 (7), making their calculated birth years c1900 and c1901. The Cyril Marshall Marriage Index on GenealogySA shows that Cyril Chaple[sic] Marshall was married in 1923 in the Barossa District to Florence Nora Gniel (8). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Cyril Chappel Marshall was born in 1900 in Templers SA to parents Walter Richard Fry Marshall and Margaret Gass[sic] (9), and Florence Nora Gniel was born on 29 May 1901 in Greenock SA to parents Gustar Adolph Gniel and Johanne Pauline Elsholz (10). At the genealogy website of Geni, Cyril Chappel Marshall was born on 11 January 1900 at Templers SA, and died 8 June 1926. He was the son of Walter Richard Fry Marshall and Margaret Lawary Marshall, and husband of Florence Nora Marshall, and the brother of Vera Frances Dorothy Marshall; Alice Doreen Marshall; Lorna Marshall and Ross Marshall (11). Cyril definitely died in July 1926: “Marshall. On the 8th July, at Private Hospital, Cyril Chappel, dearly loved husband of Florence N Marshall, Wasleys, and dear eldest son of W and M Marshall, Fullarton, aged 26 years “, Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 17 July 1926 p41 (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/m-o/marshall_walter_richard_fry_&_margaret.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=TWFyc2hhbGw=&g=V2FsdGVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=TWFyc2hhbGw=&g=V2FsdGVy&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I146277 Robert Cameron, husband of Adelaide, father of C_, Donald, Archie and Leonard, died aged 89 yrs on 6 April 1957 (1). A second headstone is a much clearer version of the same words: Robert Cameron, husband of Adelaide, father of C_, Donald, Archie and Leonard, died aged 89 yrs on __ April 1957, the name of the first child and the day in April he died being obscured by floral tribute that could have been moved first (2). I have combined these two into a one-lined entry. The Robert Cameron Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in 1912 to Adelaide Hilder in the Frome District (3), although noting his age at marriage of about 44 yrs, this may have been his second marriage. The ‘all Cameron’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Robert Cameron and Adelaide Hilder show four children [1] Clyde Robert Cameron b1913; [2] Donald Newton Cameron b1914; [3] Archibald Lindsay Cameron b1915 all so far in the Nairne District; [4] Leonard McLaren Cameron b1920 in the Barossa District (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that this Robert Cameron has no SA birth record, and the LDS data says that Robert Cameron was born in 1871 to father also a Robert Cameron. Our Robert Cameron was married aged 40 yrs on 10 Apr 1912 in Kingswood SA to Adelaide Hilder aged 24 yrs, who was born 3 May 1887 Kingswood (5). If this LDS data is correct, Robert Cameron was at best 86 yrs old when he died. Gwenyth Cameron was born 13 Oct 1921 and died 6 Jan 1996; her husband Leonard Cameron was born 9 Oct 1920 and died 27 April 2004; parents of Roen, Daryl, Douglas, Grant and Kay (6). Engagements. “Goss—Cameron. The engagement is announced of Gwenyth N, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs TH Goss, of Gawler West, to Leonard M, youngest son of Mr and Mrs R Cameron, of Gawler River”, The Advertiser, Thursday 5 June 1941 p8 (7). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Gwenyth Noreen Goss was born on 13 Oct 1921 in Gawler to parents Thomas Henry Goss and Mary Ann Lemmey (8). Marilyn Kaye Cameron was the partner of Michael Clark, and mother of Shane Clark (died aged 20 yrs on 20 Feb 1993) and Lana Clark (9). So is she Marilyn Kaye Cameron or Marilyn Kaye Cameron Clark? That is, is Cameron a middle name or her maiden name? It is all too recent for most genealogical sites, so will remain a mystery until someone in the know explains 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cameron_robert.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cameron_robert_2.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2FtZXJvbg==&g=Um9iZXJ0&c=&y=&r=MA== 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FtZXJvbg==&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I132824&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cameron_gwenyth_&_leonard.jpg 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45008075?searchTerm=cameron%20leonard%20gwenyth&searchLimits= 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I518933 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/cameron_marilyn_kaye.jpg Joseph Camilleri died aged 81 yrs on 14 Feb 1983; his wife Pearl Mary Camilleri died aged 96 yrs on 3 April 1999; parents of ?Beatrice, Raymond, Raymond, Regina, ?__, Frank and Margery (1), the children’s names being partly obscured by mobile floral tributes. There are no Birth nor Marriage details of the parents at GenealogySA but the ‘all Camilleri’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Joseph and Pearl Camilleri reveal that in 1927, there were 2 children born to Joe Camilleri and Pearl Smith in Adelaide, presumably twins, if not in rapid succession, [1] Regina Marjory Camilleri; [2] Jean Camilleri (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no birth details for Joseph Camilleri, but there is a record of Pearl Smith who was born on 14 May 1902 in Yongala SA to parents Harnold Andrew Smith and Isabella Mary McPherson (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/camilleri_joseph_&_pearl_mary.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=1&s=Q2FtaWxsZXJp&g=&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I239342 Ethel Gertrude Casely, infant daughter of RS and MA Casely who died aged 4 wks on 18 Dec 1877 (1), which means that her birth would

There is no Benjamin Clark on the Birth Index at GenealogySA who was born in 1909, and no Benjamin Clark Marriage Index to a bride named Gladys, nor is a Benjamin Clark b1909 on the World War Two Nominal Roll. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser Newspaper had one for Benjamin Clark on 5 Jan 1976, and Gladys Violet Clark’s on 25 Feb 1993 (2), at least telling us their months of demise and in Gladys’s case her middle name, but their birthdates elude me. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clark_benjamin_&_gladys.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-C.html Len Clark was born 22 March 1915, and died aged 83 yrs on 25 Aug 1998; Clarice Clark was born 15 Nov 1919, and died aged 78 yrs on 30 Aug 1998; parents of Des, Dean, Peter and Pat (1), Mrs Clark dying just 5 days after her husband. As there was no result on the Len Clark Marriage Index, I tried the Leonard Clark Marriage Index at GenealogySA to find that Leonard Garfield Clark was married in 1937 to Clarice Jean Allen in the Gilbert District (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Leonard Garfield Clark was born on 22 Mar 1915 in Medindie, Adelaide to mother Clarice Eva Clark (father unrecorded) (3), and Clarice Jean Allen was born on 15 Nov 1919 in Gladstone SA to parents Edward Wilson Allen and Pearl Edith Gum (4), confirming the birth dates on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clark_len_&_clarice.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/?option=com_search&ref=search&id=3&s=Q2xhcms=&g=TGVvbmFyZA==&c=&y=&r=MA== 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I470501 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I426200 Colin Douglas Clark died aged 64 yrs on 5 Feb 1985, husband of Joan, father of Douglas, and other children hidden by flowers, maybe the youngest named Sharon (1). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Colin Douglas Clark was born Collin[sic] Douglas Clark on 14 Nov 1920 in Balaklava SA to parents Stephen Ellis Clark and Magdlena Anna Sarah Winter (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clark_colin_douglas.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I470694 Mary Louisa Eichner died aged 58 yrs on 13 Nov 1939 [wife of J Eichner] (1), making her year of birth c1881. The ‘J Eichner’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in Adelaide in 1907, John James Eichner married Mary Louise Hoklas (2). The ‘all Eichner’ Birth Index seeking offspring of John James Eichner and Mary Louise Hoklas yield three births [1] Catheline May Eichner b1908 in the Angaston District; [2] Henry Stevens Eichner b1910 (with mother’s name given as Mary Elizabeth Hoklas) in the Barossa District; [3] Alwyn Hartley Eichner b1912 in the Barossa District (2). Mary Louisa Eichner’s son Henry Eichner died aged 63 yrs on 4 July 1973; his wife Lucy Eichner died aged 86 yrs on 2 Aug 1997; parents of Wayne, Robert and Joyleen (3). There is no Henry Eichner Marriage Index at GenealogySA but a search using Trove reveals this Death Notice: “Deaths: Burnett: On December 1, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, George, beloved husband of the late Mary Burnett, and loving father of Lucy (Mrs Eichner), of 4 Thirteenth street, Gawler South, aged 79 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 8 December 1949 p70 (4). To confirmLucy’s maiden name: “Marriages: Eichner — Burnett” The marriage of Lucy Mary, daughter of Mr and Mrs George Burnett, Gawler South, to Private Henry, eldest son of Mr JJ and the late Mrs Eichner, of Gawler, was solemnised at Church of Transfiguration, Gawler South, on August 26” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 14 September 1944 p14 (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Henry Eichner was born Henry Stevens Eichner on 19 Jul 1910 at Gawler River SA to parents John James Eichner and Mary Elizabeth[sic] Hoklas (6), Lucy Mary Burnett was born on 7 Mar 1911 in Maitland SA to parents George Burnett and Mary Shearer (7), and Mary Louisa Hoklas was born as Maria Louise Hoklas on 15 Dec 1881 in Willochra SA to parents Herman Hoklas and Ledia Minninga (8), proving that she was almost 59 yrs when she died, but still 58 yrs. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eichner_mary_louisa.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eichner_henry_&_lucy.jpg 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93751930?searchTerm=Eichner%20Henry%20Lucy&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92805541?searchTerm=Eichner%20Burnett&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I497861 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I460535 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I30985 Veronica Jean Clark formerly Billing nee Nourse was born 20 April 1920 and died 22 Sept 2006. Her first husband was Ern Billing and second was Barry Clark, both of whom pre-deceased her. Veronica Jean was mother of Gail, Lynette, John (dec’d), Jan and Ian, with 10 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren (1). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/clark_veronica_jean.jpg Ailsia Emily Davis died aged 65 yrs on 22 Dec 1972; her husband Francis Moseley Davis died aged 75yrs just a week later, on 30 Dec 1972; parents of Joan, Mary and John (1). The Francis Moseley Davis Marriage Index on GenealogySA shows that he was married twice. He was first married in the Angaston District in 1922 to Sophie Lucy Conrad; and then in the Barossa District in 1926 he was married to Ailsia Emily Atkinson (2). The Sophie Lucy Davis [nee Conrad] Death Index shows that she died in the Norwood District in 1925, with the nominated relative her husband Francis Moseley Davis (3). The Ailsia Emily Atkinson birth details do not appear at GenealogySA, or amongst the SA Birth Records at RootsWeb, but they did reveal that Francis Moseley Davis was born on 12 Mar 1897 in Clarence Park, Adelaide SA to parents Charles Harry Davis and Edith Louisa Moseley (4). “Approaching Marriage: Atkinson-Davis: The marriage of Ailsia Atkinson, only daughter of Mr & Mrs FW Atkinson, of George street Gawler South, to Frank, eldest son of Mrs and the late Mr H Davis, of 12 Holden street, Hindmarsh, will be celebrated at St Joseph's Church, Gawler, on Saturday, October 9, at 3 pm. Reception at Mission Hall, Gawler South”. Bunyip, Friday 8 October 1926 p5 (5). The ‘all Davis’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Charles Harry Davis was born in Adelaide in 1867 to parents Charles Edward Davis and Marian Budworth. In turn, Charles Harry Davis with his wife Edith Louisa Moseley had at least 7 children [1] Mary Marguerite Davis b1895 in the Goodwood South District; [2] Francis Moseley Davis b1897 in the Clarence Park District; [3] Mary Rita Davis b1903 in the Clarence Park District; [4] Lucy Marian Davis b1904 in the Clarence Park District; [5] Edith Imilda [or Amilda] Davis b1914 in North Adelaide; [6] Harry Ernest Davis b1915 in the Hindmarsh District; [7] Mary Alice Davis
b1917 in the Hindmarsh District. Finally Francis Mosely Davis and Sophie Lucy Conrad had a daughter in the Mile End District in 1923 named Joan Moseley Davis; and Francis Mosely Davis and Ailsia Emily Atkinson had a daughter in the Morgan District in 1928 named Kathleen Mary Davis (6). These last two children Joan and Mary are the first 2 children mentioned on this headstone; no doubt John Davis being born after the genealogy data’s 1928 cut-off. I cannot uncover Ailsia Emily Davis nee Atkinson’s definite date of birth, although it very likely falls in 1907, as she was still 65 yrs old in Dec 1972. On the Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser, the one for Ailsa[sic] Davis was on 26 Dec 1972 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davis_ailsia_emily_&_francis_moseley.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I471480 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96636659?searchTerm=Ailsia%20Atkinson%20Davis&searchLimits= 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 7 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-D.html 1005 George William Davis died aged 75 yrs on 7 Aug 1967; his wife Elizabeth Stella Davis died aged 77 yrs on 10 May 1973 (1); making their approximate years of birth c1892 and c1896. George William Davis Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Norwood District in 1914 to Elizabeth Stella Cornish (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that George William Davis was born on 14 Mar 1892 in Hindmarsh, Adelaide SA to parents Frederick William Davis and Elizabeth Ann Taylor (3), and Elizabeth Stella Cornish was born on 29 Mar 1896 in Hindmarsh to parents Thomas Cornish and Elizabeth Jane Church (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/davis_george_william_&_elizabeth_stella.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I440047 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I159647 1006 Thomas Dawes and Catherine Dawes are remembered with two years noted 1868 and 1944 (1). It is tempting to allocate these as both of their years of birth and death, but although that is quite possible, it needs checking out if possible. Their headstone does not appear to have been professionally written, which adds to the intrigue. The Thomas Dawes Birth Index at GenealogySA shows only 2 entries [1] Thomas Richard Dawes b1860 to parents William Dawes and Francis[sic] Lloyd in the Kapunda District, and [2] Thomas Richard Dawes b1868 to parents William Dawes and Frances Lloyd in the Allens Creek District (2). This is clearly the same family, with the younger Thomas replacing a deceased older brother. There are two Thomas Dawes on GenealogySA’s Marriage Index [1] Thomas Dawes was married in 1872 to Mary Beaton in the Clare District; [2] Thomas Richard Dawes was married in 1890 to Catherine Constant Gaston in the Barossa District (3). The Thomas Dawes Death Index shows 3 possible deaths [1] Thomas Dawes d1864 in the Kapunda District, with nominated relative father William Dawes, who could be Thomas Richard Dawes the elder brother b1860; [2] Thomas Dawes d1888 in the Frome District, who may or may not be the Thomas Dawes who married Mary Beaton in 1872; and [3] Thomas Richard Dawes 1944 who died in Gawler in 1944 (4). So far this gives us Thomas Richard Dawes b1868 to parents William Dawes and Frances Lloyd in the Allens Creek District, married Catherine Constant Gaston in the Barossa District in 1890, and died in Gawler in 1944. So the dates at least belong to him, so what about her? The Catherine Gaston Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Catherine Constant Gaston was born in 1872 in the South Para District to parents Edward Gaston and Penelope Lawson (4), and the Catherine Gaston Death Index shows that Catherine Constance Dawes died in Adelaide in 1935, with the nominated relative her still living husband Thomas Richard Dawes (5), showing that the headstone dates belong to him, but not her. So we need to find out more specific dates where we can. To confirm the supposition over the two Thomas Richard Dawes, a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Thomas Richard Dawes was born on 10 Feb 1860 in Kapunda SA to parents William Dawes and Francis[sic] Lloyd, and he died aged 4 yrs 15 Mar 1864 in Kapunda (6). The second Thomas Richard Dawes was born on 28 May 1868 in Allens Creek, near Kapunda to parents William Dawes and Frances Lloyd (7). Catherine Constant Gaston was born on 29 Jul 1872 in South Para SA to parents Edward Gaston and Penelope Lawson (8). Now we must rely on Death Notices. Thomas Richard Dawes dies: “Deaths: Dawes. On May 22, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Thomas Richard Dawes, late of Cleve and Cockatoo Valley, aged 76 years”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 25 May 1944 p13 (9). Catherine Constance Dawes dies: “Deaths: Dawes. On the 14th January, at Adelaide Hospital, Catherine Constance, beloved wife of Thomas Richard Dawes, of Cockatoo Valley (late of Cleve), age 62 years”, Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 17 January 1935 p45 (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dawes_thomas_&_catherine.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I502298 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I530951 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I731043 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92714626?searchTerm=thomas%20dawes&searchLimits= 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92363341?searchTerm=catherine%20thomas%20dawes&searchLimits= 1007 James Ernest Dawes died aged 66 yrs on 9 June 1981, his wife Olive Mildred Dawes died aged 75 yrs on 15 Feb 1994, parents of Trevor and Janice (1). The James Ernest Dawes Birth Index at GenealogySA shows he was born in 1914 in the Jamestown District to parents William Dawes and Florence May Millard (2), but there is no James Ernest Dawes Marriage Index (2). So we need to find Olive Mildred’s maiden name by other means such as a marriage or angagement notice. Engagement: “Bert—Dawes. The engagement is announced of Olive Bert, of Adelaide, third daughter of Mr and Mrs AP Bert, of Ethelton, to James Dawes, of Adelaide, fourth son of Mr and Mrs W Dawes, of Jamestown”. Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 15 February 1940 p23 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Olive Mildred Bert was born on 15 Jun 1918 in Gawler to parents Arthur Percival Bert and Annie Louisa Rathke (4), and James Ernest Dawes was born on 5 Dec 1914 in Jamestown SA to parents William Dawes and Florence May Millard (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dawes_james_ernest_&_olive_mildred.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92384176?searchTerm=Dawes%20Gawler&searchLimits=

Although there are no relatives’ names on her headstone, she had been married as this funeral notice tells us: “Funeral Notices: Dawes. The friends of the late Mrs Paulina E Dawes, wife of the relict of the late William Charles Dawes, Sandy Creek, are respectfully informed that her Remains will be removed from her late residence, Cowan-street, Church Hill, Gawler, on Tuesday, at 3 pm, for interment in the Willaston Cemetery”. The Advertiser, Tuesday 4 December 1917 p2 (2). The William Dawes Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1878 in the Barossa District, William Charles Dawes was married to Annie Pauline Lange (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Annie Pauline Lange was born Anna Juliana Pauline Lange on 25 Jun 1855 in Adelaide to parents Gottlieb Lange and Anna Rafine Geschke (4). However, because she is named Paulina E Dawes, I’d like to see a little more confirmation, although the link to William Dawes is quite strong evidence. Googling William Dawes Paulina Lange reveals a website dedicated to “Lehmann Hanschke - Person Sheet” of Paulina Lange born 1855 to parents Johann Friedrich Gottlieb Lange (1819-1888) and Anna Rosina Jaeschke (1821-1881). She was married 9 Dec 1878 at St George Anglican Church, Gawler to William Charles Dawes (born c1856, died aged 54 yrs on 19 Jul 1910 Port Augusta). Their children were [1] John William Henry Dawes (1879-); [2] Martha Rosaline Amanda Dawes (1881-1916); [3] Alice Emily Frances Dawes (1882-); [4] Minnie Louisa Dawes (1888-); [5] Elsie Emily Alice Dawes (1890-); [6] Myrtle Clara Blondinia Dawes (1892-); [6] Arthur Gordon Dawes (1894-) (5). So with the confirmation of her main name and year of birth as 1855, I’ll accept her date of birth as 25 June 1855. Not sure what the ‘E’ is in her name, maybe just an error 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dawes_paulina_e.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5577143?searchTerm=dawes%20paulina&searchLimits= 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I94776 5 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS166/PS166_057.HTM Thomas Keith Day died aged 69 yrs on 2 Jan 1975; his wife Gesina (Zona) Day died aged 87 yrs on 24 May 2001; parents of Paulene, Rosemary and John (1). The immediate question is whether ‘Zona’ is her preferred first name, or is it her maiden name? Thomas Keith Day Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in Gawler South in 1905 to parents Urlwin Henry Day and Louisa Blanche Roberts (2). Urlwin Henry Day was born on 4 Jun 1876 at Reeves Plains SA to parents Thomas Day (born 7 Sep 1841 Tam O'Shanter Belt SA, died 23 Aug 1920 SA) and Eleanor Mary Ley (born 26 Nov 1843 Nova Scotia, Canada, died 8 Sep 1933 SA), who had married on 16 Mar 1863 North Adelaide. Urlwin Henry Day was married aged 25 yrs on 25 Sep 1901 at Carclew SA to Louisa Blanche Roberts also aged 25 yrs (b1876), and had one son (Howard William Day born 16 May 1903 Gawler River) and at least one more child which we cannot get access to at the LDS website (3), in case they are still alive, even though they would be pushing 110 yrs old by now. “Recent Weddings: Day—Bammann. At Holy Trinity Church, North terrace, the marriage was celebrated of Miss Gesina (Zona) Bammann, younger daughter of Mr and Mrs GH Bammann, of Roseworthy, to Mr Thomas Keith Day, of Two Wells, second son of the late Mr and MrsUH Day” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 7 September 1939 p58 (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Louisa Blanche Roberts was born on 17 Mar 1876 at Gawler River to parents William Roberts and Hannah Maria Pederick (5), Thomas Keith Day was born on 10 May 1905 in Gawler to parents Urlwin Henry Day and Louisa Blanche Roberts (6), Gesina Bammann was born on 15 Dec 1913 in Kadina SA to parents George Henry Bammann and Gesina Bussenschutt (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_thomas_keith_&_gesina_%28zona%29.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I167336&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92444537?searchTerm=Thomas%20Keith%20Day%20Gesina&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I208333 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I270666 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I438485 William Day died aged 59 yrs on 3 Oct 1956; his wife Jessie May Day died aged 88 yrs on 27 Sept 1991 (1), making their approx years of birth c1897 and c1906. The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Jessie May Day died in 1994, but it looks more like 1991 to me. The Jessie May Day search at GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices shows that there were 2 notices in the 1991 for her (3), confirming my assertion. The William Day Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1925 William Alfred Day was married to Jessie May Oliver (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Jessie May Oliver was born in 1903 in Reeves Plains SA to parents Joseph Blake Oliver and Edith May McConell (4), but there is no record of the birth of William Alfred Day here. On the Gawler World War One Honour Roll, William Alfred Day was stated to have been born on 27th June 1897 in Nullawa, Victoria. His Next of Kin was his father Edgar Herman Day [see Note 215], Reeves Plains SA. His occupation prior to enlistment on 22 June 1918 in Adelaide was as a farmer. He embarked for overseas 22 Oct 1918 from Adelaide per HMAT "Boonah" and returned to Australia 17 Jan 1919 when the ship was recalled after the Armistice. He was discharged 31 Jan 1919 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/day_william_&_jessie_may.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I260413 5 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/d.html Catherine Dean died aged 33 yrs on 4 July 1875; her son Arthur Knight Dean died aged 5 months on 18 Sept 1874; her husband Herbert Dean died aged 53 yrs on 14 June 1892 (1). The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Catherine was 35 yrs old when she died (2), but the headstone says 33, not 35 (when you compare the ‘3’ to a ‘5’ with other digits). This is confirmed also by her death notice: “Death. Dean. On the 4th July, at Gawler East, Catherine, beloved wife of Herbert Dean, aged 33 years. Mourned by a large circle of friends “Bunyip. Friday 16 July 1875 p2 (3). The Herbert Dean Marriage Index shows two marriages for Herbert Dean {1} in 1864 in Adelaide to Catherine Martin; and {2} in 1876 in Adelaide to Philippa Roscrow (4). The dates would fit these marriages being for the one Herbert Dean but this needs confirmation. The LDS website says that Herbert Dean was born in 1839 and died aged 53 yrs on 14 Jun 1892 in Gawler SA. His parents were William Knight Dean (b1811, died in May 1839 Adelaide SA) and Harriet Caroline Single b1817 England). Herbert Dean was a baker, postmaster, and storekeeper living in Gawler. He was married aged 25 yrs on 26 Mar 1864 in Adelaide to Catherine Martin aged 21 yrs (born Abt 1843 to father William Martin, and she died 4 Jul 1875 Gawler). The children of Herbert Dean and Catherine Martin were [1] Caroline Dean born 9 Jul 1865 Gawler, died 21 Jun 1901 Victor Harbor SA; [2] Herbert
William Dean born 5 Mar 1869 Gawler; [3] Arthur Knight Dean born 14 Apr 1874 Gawler, died 18 Sep 1874 Gawler. Herbert Dean’s second marriage aged 37 yrs was on 8 Mar 1876 in Magill SA to Philippa Roscrow aged 22 yrs (born 19 Nov 1853 in Magill to Henry Roscrow and Christian/Cath fmly Broad nee Francis. Philippa Dean died in 1937). The children of Herbert Dean and Philippa Roscrow were [4] Henry Knight Dean born 17 Dec 1876 Gawler; [5] Ethel Mary Dean born 7 Jun 1878 Gawler; [6] Elsie Gawler Dean born 12 Dec 1880 Gawler; [7] Stella Dean born 22 Jun 1882 Gawler; [8] Leonard Wright Dean born 10 Jul 1884 Gawler (5). “Obituary: Mrs Philippa Dean. Another chapter of the associations of early Gawler closed on Tuesday with the death of Mrs Philippa Dean, at her home in Edith street, after a long illness as an invalid. Mrs Dean's associations with Gawler go back to the early days, and in her life she saw many changes in the town. She was the widow of the late Mr Herbert Dean JP, who, born in 1839, came to Gawler in 1856, and entered the employ of Mr George Gozzard, in the shop now occupied Mr S Dunks in Walker place. There is a great history attached to these associations. In the founding of Gawler the pioneer postmaster was Mr Henry Calton of the Old Spot hotel, but in the late forties he gave over the post to Mr Gozzard who combined it with that of his business as baker. Mr Dean when he came to Gawler served as assistant to Mr Gozzard, learning the trade and automatically filling the postal duties, until in the course of the years he became postmaster on the death of his employer. With this position was inaugurated that of Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages. In the early sixties the Post Office became State-controlled and was removed to the telegraph office (now the Electoral office) but Mr Dean retained his connections as Registrar. This he carried on until his death in 1892 when Mrs Dean fulfilled the duties, and had the distinction of being the only woman registrar in the State who had performed marriages. Mr Dean proved a keen townsman as well as a progressive businessman. He became a Councillor in 1874, and in 1881 was elevated to the Mayoral chair, being re-elected in the following year. During his term the exhibition building was erected and opened, and he was in the Council when the Town Hall building was undertaken. Other interests were in Friendly societies and the Methodist Church, and he was a firm supporter of mining in the Barossa ranges. Mr Dean died at a fairly early age, 53 years, and it was left to his widow, Mrs Philippa, to carry and maintain the trade. This she did to signal advantage, the business growing until eight hands were employed and the place was accepted as the leading bakery and catering business of the district. Later her son, Mr Harry K, assumed the managership and Dean's bakery was known district-wide and maintained this fame untilindustrial depression swept away the prestige of the town. Mrs Dean continued her oversight of trade and held to the office of Registrar until declining years demanded a halt, and the records went on to police quarters, and Mrs Dean disposed of the bakery business. Of late years she lived a retitred life in Edith street, when she became afflicted with trouble which confined her to an invalid’s chair. It is here that tribute is paid Miss K Dean her daughter for her fortitude and unfailing devotion to her mother through the many years of suffering. Of a family issue of five— two boys and three girls— there survive the son Mr Harry K, Mrs Edwards and Miss Dean. The remains were privately interred” Bunyip, Friday 25 June 1937 p1 (6). Unfortunately I cannot find the actual dates of birth for Catherine and Herbert Dean. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dean_catherine,_arthur_knight_&_herbert.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97218757?searchTerm=herbert%20dean%20catherine&searchLimits= 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I25992&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96690519?searchTerm=Herbert%20Dean&searchLimits= 1012 Emily T Dean died aged 62 yrs on 8 July 1922; Isaac Dean died aged 68 yrs on 7 May 1923 (1). The Isaac Dean Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born at Dry Creek in 1854 to parents Isaac Dean and Ann Worth (2), but there is no Isaac Dean Marriage Index at this site. According to the information on the LDS website, Isaac Dean was born on 11 Apr 1854 at Dry Creek SA to parents Isaac Dean and Ann Worth. Their son Isaac Dean was married to Emily Thirza Smith [no details given] and had three children [1] Martha Lillian Dean born 11 Oct 1882 Long Plains SA; [2] Nellie Dean born 9 Jul 1884 Dublin SA; [3] Arthur Edward Dean born 14 Oct 1886 Gawler River (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Emily Thirza Smith was born on 7 Mar 1860 in Redruth (now Burra) SA to parents Aaron Smith and Elizabeth Walker (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dean_emily_t.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I166911&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I345795 1013 John Debais died aged 74 yrs on 24 Dec 1959; his wife Jane Debais died aged 74 yrs on 27 March 1964, parents of Ralph, Reg and George (1). The John Debais Birth Index shows that John Ralph Debais was born 1915 in Gawler West to parents John Debais and Jane Bloffwitch (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that John Ralph Debais was born on 4 Jul 1915 in Gawler to parents John Debais and Jane Bloffwitch (3), and Jane Bloffwitch was born on 25 Apr 1889 in Gawler to parents Thomas Bloffwitch and Jane Simpson (4), but John Debais himself does not appear on RootsWeb. John Debais and Jane Bloffwitch were married in Gawler on 26 Jan 1914: “Ruby Weddings: Debais — Bloffwitch. The family of Mr and Mrs J Debals of Walkerville have pleasure in announcing the 40th anniversary of their parents' wedding, solemnised at St Peter and Paul's, Gawler, on January 26, 1914” The Advertiser, Tuesday 26 January 1954 p20 (5). According to the National Archives of Australia website, in 1922, John Debais of Gawler South applied for naturalization {he was Syrian}, but no other personal details other than he was named as next of kin when his son Reginald Lawrence Debais (date of birth 31 Oct 1920) joined the Australian Army in WWII (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/debais_john_&_jane.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I487757 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I309592 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47575323?searchTerm=Debais%20Bloffwitch&searchLimits= 6 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/ItemsListing.aspx 1014 Roy Alexander Dey {1913-1983} was the husband of Doreen, and father of Diane, Peter, Trevor and Alistair (1). There is no Roy Alexander Dey birth at GenealogySA, nor is there on RootsWeb, although the Roy Alexander Dey Funeral Notice appeared 16 Nov 1983 in the Advertiser, according to the Savill Index (2). At least we have learned he died in November 1983. Intriguingly, Enfield Memorial Park Cemetery SA records that Roy Alexander Dey died 13 Nov 1983 (3), and Doreen Melva Dey died on 27 Oct 2007 (4). Possibly the plaque at Willaston is just that, and not a burial site. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there are 6 Doreen Melva births in SA up to 1928, and only one of these has a connection to a groom surnamed Dey. Doreen Melva Sizer was born on 15 May 1922 in Henley Beach, Adelaide SA to parents Laurence Sizer and Ethel Rose Lloyd (5).

The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Pietro was born on the 14th of the 13th month (2), but it should be the 14th January. David Dichiera was born on 8 Oct 1964 and died 6 Nov 1964, son of Vincenzo and Joan, brother of Christine and Stephen (3), and hence the grandson of Pietro and Maria Dichiera. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dichiera_pietro_&_maria.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dichiera_david.jpg Ada Lucy Dick {1894-1963}; her husband George Roy Dick {1899-1974} (1). There is no George Roy Dick Marriage Index at GenealogySA but the ‘all Dick’ Birth Index reveals that in 1924 in the Clare District, Maxwell George Dick was born to parents George Roy Dick and Ada Lucy White (2). On the OneGreatFamily website, George Dick was born on 19 May 1899 in Carlton Vic and died 8 Aug 1974. His parents were George Dick and Augusta Mary Ann Wood. His siblings were Henry James Dick, Reginald Albert Dick, Amelia Dick and Ina Nellie Dick. George Dick b1899 was married to Ada Lucy White and they were parents of Mavis, Maxwell, Robert, Wallace Arthur Dick, Gordon and Valda. Unfortunately this website has no further details about Ada Lucy White (3), nor are there any records of her on GenealogySA under her maiden name. The Ada Lucy Dick Death Index at GenealogySA confirms her death in Gawler in 1963, with nominated relative her living husband George Roy Dick (2). Robert Andrew Dick’s headstone says he was born on 17 May 1929, and died 2 Sept 2000; son of George and Ada, brother of Mavis, Max, Arthur __, Gordon and Valda (these are partly obscured by a movable floral tribute) (4). James Malcolm Dick was born in Scotland on 21 July 1927 to parents Harry and Jessie Dick of Aberdeen, and he died in WA 10 Aug 1974 at the age of 47 yrs (5), so if he is related to the other Dick family noted here, it is not clear how. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dick_ada_lucy_&_george_roy.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.onegreatfamily.com/ancestry/people/George-Dick/581244428 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dick_robert_andrew.jpg 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dick_james_malcolm.jpg Esther Dickinson, wife of Moses Dickinson, died aged 26 yrs on 10 May 1892 (1), making her year of birth c1866. The name Moses Dickinson does not appear on GenealogySA’s Marriage Index, on the LDS website, nor on the RootsWeb SA Birth Records. The only mention on GenealogySA of an Esther Dickinson is on her Death Index which confirms that she died in the Barossa District in 1892 with nominated relative her living husband Moses Dickinson (2). Her death notice: “Dickinson: On the 10th May, at Gawler, Esther, the beloved wife of Moses Dickinson, aged 26 years” Bunyip, Friday 13 May 1892 p2 (3). Ten days after his wife’s death notice, “Auctions: Wednesday, May 25th, at 3 o'clock, in the large room adjoining the Commercial Hotel, Gawler. JC Wilkinson is instructed by Mr M Dickinson to sell —drawing-room suite, 9 piece in tapestry and plush; 2 large oleographs; ornaments etc; Dining Table; ABW cane suite (9 pieces); sideboard; oilcloth; china tea set; duchess pair (in cedar and marble); toilet set; double HT Tubular Post Extension Footrail Bedstead; spring mattress; bedding; carpet; kitchen utensils and sundries, for positive sale” Bunyip, Friday 20 May 1892 p3 (4). So if they were living in Gawler, he seemed to sell up and leave soon after. I could not find her maiden name on GenealogySA nor by searching newspapers on Trove. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dickinson_esther.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97238391?searchTerm=esther%20dickinson&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97236496?searchTerm=dickinson&searchLimits=l-title=371 Darcy Campion Dickinson died aged 64 yrs on 21 June 1985 (1). There are no birth records for Darcy Dickinson on GenealogySA nor on RootsWeb, in fact the only mention I can find of Darcy Dickinson is in GenealogySA’s Newspaper Death Notices for the Advertiser where it says Darcy (Hugh) Dickinson died in 1985 (2). There was a Hugh Dickinson on GenealogySA’s Birth Index but he was born in 1925 in the Norwood District to parents Charles Joseph Dickinson and Phyllis Brownson (2), and Darcy Campion Dickinson would have been born c1921 to have been 64 yrs old in 1985. On a website called Genes Reunited, there is a message on their message board from a Jennifer O'Sullivan, posted on 26 Dec 2004, saying “I am looking for my half sister Christine (Dickinson). I have never met her. Her mother & my father split up before I was born in 1949, our father’s name was Darcy Campion Dickinson & he worked at the time for British Rail in York. My half sister must be in her late 50's or early 60's. I have very little information as I didn’t find out about her until I was an adult, but heresay has it that her mother worked in a wool shop in York. Can anyone help?”(3). Unfortunately, no reply was posted, but it maybe that Darcy came to Australia from York, hence no details on SA genealogy sites. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dickinson_darcy_campion.jpg

The “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that she died aged 76 yrs (2), but it seems more like 75 yrs to me, although it is not easy to read. The Gawler Old Pioneer Cemetery name index shows that Sarah Doholan died aged 75 yrs in 1868, noted on Panel 8 (3). The Sarah Doholan Death Index at GenealogySA shows that she died in 1868 in the Port Gawler District with nominated relative her husband Richard Doholan (4). The Richard Doholan Marriage Index shows that he was married in 1869 in Adelaide to Jane Trainor (4), so maybe his marriage to Sarah was before they came to SA. The Richard Doholan Death Index at GenealogySA showed that he died in the Port Gawler District in 1873 (4). The only possible connection I found was on the LDS website where there was a women named Mary Dolehen who was born in 1826 and was married on 10 Nov 1845 in Adelaide to Luke Hussey (b1823, died 28 Dec 1857 Peachy Belt SA. My thought was that maybe this Mary Dolehen was related to, eg daughter of, Sarah and Richard Doholan. Pure speculation of course. They had 3 children [1] Luke Hussey born 26 Oct 1857 Virginia SA; [2] Mary Hussey b1856; [3] Richard Hussey born 23 Apr 1856 Peachy Belt (5). The Mary Dolehen Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1845 in Adelaide Mary Dolahen[sic] was married to Luke Hussy[sic], implying that the spelling of names was at best imaginative. My best reading of the surname is ‘Dolahan’, based on mentions of Richard Dolahan in the press, such as: “Moore V Dolahan and another: Mr Barlow for the plaintiff; Mr Way QC for the infants; and Mr Wigley for the executors. This was a special case to obtain the opinion of His Honor on the construction of the will of Richard Dolahan, deceased. The testator was a farmer at Peachey Belt, and on May 20th, 1873, made a will, bequeathing to his son, James Dolahan, the southern moiety of Section 22, in the Hundred of Grace, County of Gawler, and directed that the northern moiety thereof, which was then and still was held under lease, should be sold on the expiration of the lease, and the proceeds divided equally be tween the testastor's three grandsons— John, Michael, and James Dolahan — and that all rents accruing during the currency should be paid to his wife, and in the event of her death, be divided equally between his three grandsons. Other bequests, including legacies to his daughters, Mary Moore and Sarah Lines, were mentioned, and the residue of his personal property the testator directed his executors to divide equally between his four grandchildren thereinbefore named, his two daughters, and his wife. The questions submitted to His Honor were— Firstly, whether upon the true construction of the will the northern moiety of Section 22, in the Hundred of Grace, passed to the executors upon the trusts and for the purposes mentioned. Secondly — Who were the persons entitled under the words 'my four grandchildren hereinbefore named' in the will to share in the residue of testator's personal property. Thirdly— Whether the residue was to be divided into as many equal parts as there were persons described in the bequest, and one of such parts paid to each such person, or whether it was to be divided into three equal parts, of which one part was to be paid to the testator's grandchildren as a class, another part to the two daughters, and the remaining part to the representatives of the testator's wife. Fourthly— Whether the grandchildren took their one-third part as joint tenants, or as tenants in common, and whether the testator's daughters took their onethird part as joint tenants, or tenants in common. Mr Barlow pointed out that there was no specific devise of the northern moiety of Section 22 to any one, and he thought the Court would see that it would be for the executors to sell it at the expiration of the lease, the rent in the meantime to be devoted to the wife, and divide the proceeds among the grandsons (11 Symon, 152). The question as to whether it was realty or personalty did not arise, and the only other point of importance was the clause in which four grandchildren were named. This was obviously a mistake, and the Court would strike out four, and leave the bequest to the grandchildren (Hawkins 62; Wright v Calvert, 1 Johnson and Hemming, 250; McKechnie v Vaughan, LR., 15 Eq, 289). Another question was whether deceased intended the division of his residuary personalty into three parts or an equal division between his grandchildren, daughters, and wife individually. The word 'equally’ here implied a tenancy in common, and would be carried as governing the construction of the whole clause, as showing that, these persons took as tenants in common and not joint tenants. Mr Way said he took the same view as his learned friend had expressed. Mr Wigley said the executors were prepared to submit to any order which might be made. His Honor agreed with Mr Barlow, and ordered that the executors should take the northern moiety of Section 22; that all the grandchildren were included in the devise of the residuary personalty; and that, the devisees of the residuary personalty should, take as tenants in common per capita, the costs of all parties to come out of the estate. The Court then adjourned till the following Tuesday” South Australian Chronicle and Weekly Mail, Saturday 11 July 1874 p7 (6). This hasn’t added to the story of Sarah Dolahan, but at least the spelling of her surname is set. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/doholan_sarah.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://headstones.weebly.com/gawler-old-pioneer-park.html 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I285787&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93948273?searchTerm=Richard%20Dolahan&searchLimits= 1021 Edith Donlon died aged 69 yrs on 1 May 1948, wife of William John (1). There is no William John Donlon Marriage Index at GenealogySA but the ‘all Donlon’ Birth Index seeking offspring of William John Donlon and Edith __ reveals that there were at least seven children born to William John Donlon and Edith Summerton, all in the Port Gawler and Barossa Districts: [1] William George Henry Donlon b1911; [2] Jean Phillamina Donlon b1912; [3] Lillian Irene Donlon b1914; [4] Edith Donlon b1915; [5] Nellie Melba Donlon b1918; [6] Patience Donlon b1920; [7] Asta Beth Donlon b1922 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no Edith Summerton born c1879, nor on GenealogySA. A general Google of Edith Donlon Summerton reveals an Ancestry.com website that tells us that Edith Summerton was born in Barunga, South Australia, Australia in 1878 to Thomas Henry Summerton (1853-1928) and Eliza Jane Ireland (1854-1895). Edith married William John Donlon (1881-1960) and had 11 children. She passed away on 1 May 1948 in Gawler (3). The children of William John Donlon and Edith Summerton were [1] Lochiel Robert William Donlon b1900; [2] Winifred Sarah Donlon b1904; [3] Gertrude Maud Donlon b1906; [4] Mary Mavis Doreen Donlon b1908; [5] William Henry George Donlon b1910; [6] Jean Philomena Donlon b1912; [7] Lillian Irene Donlon b1914; [8] Edith Donlon b1918; [9] Patience Donlon b1920; [10] Nell Donlon b1921; [11] Asta Beth Donlon b1922 (4). Edith’s father dies: “Summerton: On the 10th November, at Adelaide Hospital, Thomas Henry, late of Port Broughton and Broken Hill, father of E Summerton, H Sommerton, sons, Port Broughton; E Donlon, A Carter, E Chenoweth, of Gawler; R Sancock, L Ireland, Port Broughton; E Crillic, F Stewart, Broken Hill; L Freeman, Port Pirie; H Winnen, Wudinna, aged 76” The Advertiser, Wednesday 14 November 1928 p12 (5). Edith dies: “Donlon: On May 1, at Hudson Hospital, Gawler, Edith, the dearly beloved wife of William John Donlon, also loved mother of Lockial, Winnie, Mary, Jean, Lilian, Edith, Nellie, Patty, Asta, and Bill (deceased)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 6 May 1948 p41 (6). A general Google search finally tells us her date of birth: the website GenForum at Genealogy.com has a chat page about William John Donlon, Gawler, South Australia, posted by Murray Tonkin on 12 October 2001: “I am looking for any info on my wife's grandfather, William John Donlon, born 6th Mar 1881 Gawler, died

For general interest, the Gawler World War One Honour Roll has Private William John Donlon of the 27th Battalion born on 6th March 1881 in Adelaide to William James Donlon and Sarah Ann Payne. His next of kin was his wife Mrs Edith Donlon, Waler[sic] street, Gawler. William was a labourer who enlisted on 23rd June 1915 at Keswick SA and embarked for overseas 14th September 1915. He returned to Australia 20th October 1917 on the Pakeha and was discharged medically unfit on 10th December 1917. William died 16th May 1960 at Gawler. The Advertiser on 17th May 1960 has “Donlon: On May 16th at his residence, 11 Edith street, Gawler, William John Donlon, late of 1st AIF, loved father of Winifred, Mary, Jean, Lily, Edith, Nellie, Patience and Asta also Loch, William and Gertrude (deceased), aged 80 years, at rest” (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/donlon_edith.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://records.ancestry.com.au/edith_summerton_records.ashx?pid=7172410 4 http://www.mytrees.com/newanc/Australia/Died-1948/Su/Summerton-family/Edith-Summerton-to000041-29.html 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/29315705?searchTerm=Donlon%20Summerton&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93186810?searchTerm=Donlon%20Summerton&searchLimits= 7 http://genforum.genealogy.com/donlon/messages/27.html 8 http://gawlerworldwar1.weebly.com/d.html Joseph Bernard Donohue died aged 58 yrs on 15 Nov 1935; Hilda May Donohue died aged 75 yrs on 11 Nov 1961 (1), making their years of birth c1877 and c1886 respectively. The ‘all Donohue’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Joseph Bernard Donohue and Hilda May __ reveals that five children were born to Joseph Bernard Donohue and Hilda May Freeman, all in the Port Gawler District: [1] Francis Eugene Donohue b1906; [2] Irene May Donohue b1908; [3] Muriel Mildred Donohue b1909; [4] Joseph Burnard William Donohue b1910; [5] Mavis Rosetta Donohue b1912 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Joseph Bernard Donohue was born on 2 Aug 1877 at Bakers Flat near Kapunda SA to parents Michal[sic] Donohue and Bridget Dorothea Lahive (3), but there is no Hilda May Freeman birth at RootsWeb, or at GenealogySA. The Hilda May Freeman Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that she was married in Adelaide in 1905 to Joseph Bernard Donohue (2). “Deaths: O’Donohue[sic]: On the 15th November, at his residence, No1 Fifth street, Gawler South, Joseph Bernard, beloved husband of Hilda May O’Donohue, aged 59 years” The Advertiser, Saturday 16 November 1935 p18 (4). Back on RootsWeb, Francis Eugene Donohue was born on 25 Jan 1906 in Gawler to parents Joseph Bernard Donohue and Hilda May Freeman (5). The Francis Eugene Donohue headstone says that he died aged 53 yraes on 28 Sept 1959, husband of Vonda, father of Reg and Maureen (6). Now all we need is to find his mother’s date of birth which is still stuck at c1886. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/donohue_joseph_bernard_&_hilda_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I567128 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36197070?searchTerm=donohue%20joseph&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I498631 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/donohue_francis_eugene.jpg Johanna Doolan died aged 58 yrs on 24 Dec 1900; sharing her headstone with John, Mary, Bridget and Thomas Ryan (1), which may mean that Ryan was her maiden name, if she was married. Her estimated year of birth is c1842. The Johanna Doolan Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Johannah[sic] Dolan[sic] died in 1900 in the Barossa District (2). Despite my ruminations on Ryan being her maiden name, Johanna Doolan was unmarried: “The death roll this week Includes Miss Johanna Doolan, an old resident of the town” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 28 December 1900 p2 (3). Johanna Doolan was in Gawler c1865: “Unclaimed letters at the Gawler Post Office on 24th of February 1865: Bottcher, Mr; Brace Mr; .......

The Phoebe Parker Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows her 1913 marriage in the Port Adelaide District to Robert James Dore (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Phoebe Parker was born as Pheobe[sic] Parker on 27 Oct 1883 in Gawler to parents James Parker and Maria Parks (3), 6 weeks short of her 30th birthday. “Dore: On the 13th September, at Gawler South, Phoebe, the beloved wife of Robert James Dore, and third daughter of James Parker, aged 29 years” The Advertiser, Monday 15 September 1913 p14 (4).

A general Google of Roydon Frederic Dorrington shows a website titled “The Edmonds Family Forest” and here it says that Roydon Frederic Dorrington was born on 30 November 1906 in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, England, the son of Frederic John Dorrington. On 27 July 1931, Roydon, aged 24, married Leila Winstanley, aged 27, in the residence of Frederick Winstanley in Mount Dampier SA.

On the World War 2 Nominal Roll, there is a John Downer from Lyrup SA: John Downer was born 13 May 1912 in Lyrup SA and was still living there when he enlisted on 7 Jan 1942 in the Australian Army at nearby Renmark SA, citing as his Next of Kin, Daphne Downer. Private John Downer was discharged on 30 Jun 1943 from 8 Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that John Downer was born on 13 May 1912 in Lyrup SA to parents Henry Ernest Downer and Gertrude Mary Gallary (4), and Daphne Carter was born Daphne Olva Edith Carter on 8 Mar 1915 in Salisbury, Adelaide to parents Clare Hicks Carter and Hettie Maud Turner (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/downer_john_&_daphne.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48892680?searchTerm=downer%20carter&searchLimits= 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=728650 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I492263 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I465751 Josiah John Dridan died aged 82 yrs on 29 March 1924; Susan Emma Dridan died aged 76 yrs on 13 March 1930 (1), making their years of birth c1842 and c1854 respectively.

The Alice Dridan Death Index at GenealogySA shows that she died in 1889 in Adelaide, with nominated relative her husband Josiah John Dridan (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Sarah Emma Dall was born on 8 Jun 1853 in Adelaide to parents Robert Dall and Sarah Ann Perks (3), but RootsWeb does not have birth details of Josiah John Dridan born c1842. A search on the LDS website shows that Josiah John Dridan was born on 28 July 1842, according to the church records, although SA BDM's say 28/7/1840? The later date best fits his quoted years in March 1924. Josiah John Dridan’s father was John Neales Dridan (born 13 Jun 1806). Josiah John Dridan aged 25 yrs was married on 7 Mar 1868 in Yorketown to Alice Gillett aged 30 yrs, b1837, and together they had 4 children [1] Alice Maud Dridan born 31 Jan 1870 Portland SA; [2] Sydney John Dridan born 14 Mar 1872 Adelaide; [3] William Dridan born 1 May 1874 Adelaide; [4] Lucy Eleanor Dridan born 10 Dec 1875 Adelaide.

A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that George Drury was born on 4 Jun 1862 in Willaston SA to parents Thomas Drury and Francis Hall (3), but not surprisingly there are no records of a SA birth on RootsWeb for both Thomas Drury and Frances Hall. “Death: Drury: On the 11th January, at Willaston, Thomas Drury, beloved husband of Fanny Drury, aged 76 years; a colonist of 51 years” Bunyip, Friday 13 January 1905 p2 (4). This means Thomas Drury arrived in SA aged 25 yrs in c1854. “Death: Drury: On the 1st August, at her residence, Willaston, Francis Drury, relict of the late Thomas Drury, aged 79 years” Bunyip, Friday 2 August 1907 p2 (5). The specific dates of birth of the parents remain elusive 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/drury_george,_thomas,_frances_&_henry.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I509796 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97598563?searchTerm=thomas%20drury&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97597543?searchTerm=Thomas%20drury&searchLimits= Phoebe Duffield, according to the headstone, was the wife of Walter Duffield and died in her 76th year on the 15th May 1890 at Para Para (1), and not in her 6th year as appears on the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2). This means that she was 75 years old plus some months, confirmed in her obituary: “Death of Mrs W Duffield. We regret to record the death of Mrs Duffield, widow of the late Hon Walter Duffield which took place at her residence, Para Para, near Gawler, on Thursday, May 15. The deceased lady, who was seventy-five years of age at the time of her death, was (writes our Gawler correspondent) born in London, and arrived in the colony about 1840. She was married to Mr Duffield in March 1842, by the late Rev TQ Stow, in Freeman-street Church, that being the second marriage that had taken place there. Mrs Duffield possessed social qualities of a high order, and was never happier than when entertaining her friends or dispensing charity to some needy recipient. The poor and distressed invariably found in her a friend with a sympathetic ear and generous heart. She was identified with the Gawler Congregational Church from its formation, being one of the first eight who were received into fellowship by the Rev TQ Stow on its establishment on Christmas Day, 1851. From that day until her death she took the warmest interest in its prosperity, and both by Christian activity and generous gifts proved herself a supporter that can ill be spared. The deceased lady leaves one son (Mr DW Duffield of Adelaide), and five daughters, three of whom are married respectively to the following gentlemen: Lieutenant-Colonel Makin, Dr J Davies Thomas, and Mr TH Bowen” South Australian Register, Tuesday 27 May 1890 p3 (3). Mrs Phoebe Duffield is buried at Willaston in Plot/Grave/Niche 12 C 4. Her last residence was Para Para, and she was buried

1890-05-17, with Rev W Jones officiating (4). Walter Duffield born c1816 in Gt Baddow, Essex, England, died aged 66 yrs on 5 Nov 1882 at Para Para, Gawler (5). According to data on the LDS website, Walter Duffield was born Abt 1816 Great Baddow, Essex, England (father William Duffield) and died 5 Nov 1882 Gawler South. Walter Duffield arrived in SA in 1839 aboard the William Barbas and was a wood carter, miller, pastoralist, and MP who had lived in Wallaroo, Port Pirie, Echunga, and Gawler. He was married on 7 March 1842 in Adelaide SA to Phoebe Johnstone (born Abt 1815, died 15 May 1890 Para Para, Gawler) (6). On a website called My Pioneer Ancestors, we find the family of Walter Duffield and Phoebe Johnstone who had married on 7 Mar 1842. Here it says that Walter Duffield was born to father William Duffield in 1816 Great Baddow, died on 5 Nov 1882 at Gawler South SA and is buried in Willaston Cemetery. He married Phoebe Johnstone on 7 Mar 1842 in Adelaide. The children of Walter Duffield and Phoebe Johnstone were [1] Sarah Duffield born 1842; [2] Mary Ann Hawkes Duffield who was born on 9 Sep 1844 in Echunga SA and died [unmarried] on 21 Aug 1902 in Gawler; [3] Louisa Caroline Duffield born on 21 Sep 1846 at Mount Barker SA, was married on 13 Jul 1870 Gawler to Frank Makin, and died 28 Sep 1941 in North Adelaide; [4] Eleanor Duffield born 20 Aug 1848 in Gawler Town, was married 10 Jun 1878 in Gawler to John Davies Thomas, and died 13 May 1934 in North Adelaide; [5] Emily Martha Duffield born on 15 Nov 1849 in Gawler Town, was married on 2 Jul 1873 in Gawler to Thomas Hopkins Bowen, died 23 Jul 1890 at Glenelg, Adelaide and is buried in Brighton Cemetery, Adelaide; [6] David Walter Duffield was born on 29 May 1851 in Gawler Town, was married on 15 Aug 1878 in Glenelg, Adelaide to Florence Evangeline Kirkpatrick, and died on 24 Jan 1922 in Adelaide (7). Unfortunately the precise dates of birth of Walter and Phoebe Duffield remain a mystery 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/duffield_phoebe.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47243507?searchTerm=Walter%20Duffield%20Obituary&searchLimits= 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30571 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/duffield_walter.jpg 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I201814&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.mypioneerancestors.com.au/familygroup.php?familyID=F2893&tree=TheTree Ruth Phillis Duffield died aged 78 yrs on 3 April 1969; her husband William Joseph Duffield died aged 85 yrs on 16 July 1972 (1), parents of Doreen, Frank, Cliff, Marjorie and Keible (1). The William Joseph Duffield Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows his marriage in the Frome District in 1908 to Ruth Phillis Cadd (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that William Joseph Duffield was born on 26 Jan 1887 in Palmer SA to parents Richard Duffield and Ellen Emma Watson. William Joseph Duffield (aged 21 yrs, single) was married on 2 April 1908 in the residence of his bride’s parents at Hammond SA to Ruth Phillis Cadd (aged 18 yrs, single). The children of William Joseph Duffield and Ruth Phillis Cadd were [1] Doreen Emily Duffield born 11 Sep 1908 in Quorn SA; [2] Frank William Duffield born 27 Jan 1911 in Amyton SA; [3] Clifford John Duffield born 7 Dec 1915 in Quorn; [4] Marjorie Louisa Duffield born 12 Oct 1920 in Quorn; [5] Keible Ruthven Duffield b: 15 Jul 1928 in Orroroo SA. William Joseph Duffield died aged 85 yrs on 16 Jul 1972 in Gawler, with nominated relative his deceased wife Ruth Phyllis Duffield (3). Still on RootsWeb, Ruth Phillis Cadd was born abt 1890 to father William Cadd and died aged 78 yrs on 3 Apr 1969 in Gawler (4). According to data at the LDS website, Ruth Phillis Cadd was born in 1889 to parents William Cadd (b1855 SA, died after 1905 SA) and Louisa Phillis (born 8 Aug 1860 Flaxmans Valley SA, died 9 Oct 1923 SA), who had married on 22 Nov 1882 in Pinda SA (5). At a website of Ancestry.co.uk, it tells us that Ruth Phyllis Cadd was actually born, in Melbourne Vic, on 12 Apr 1890 to William Cadd and Louisa Phillis. Ruth Phyllis married William Duffield and had 5 children. She died on 3 Apr 1969 in Gawler (6). On that same website, Clifford John Duffield was born in Hammond SA on 7 Dec 1915 to William Duffield and Ruth Phyllis Cadd. Clifford John Duffield married twice: [1] Joyce Duffield; [2] Florence Winifred Rusby with whom he had 2 children. He died on 3 Oct 1999 (7). On their headstone, Florence Winifred Duffield died aged 74 yrs on 6 Dec 1983; her husband Clifford John Duffield died aged 81 yrs on 3 Oct 1997; parents of Ashley and Beth (8). Back on RootsWeb, Florence Winifred Rusby was born on 7 Oct 1909 in Gawler to parents George Benjamin Rusby and Ida May Hillier (9). There is no William Joseph Duffield Marriage Index at GenealogySA, and this makes me less sure about the mysterious first marriage. No Joyce Duffield appears at GenealogySA, so did Ancestry UK get it wrong? 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/duffield_ruth_phillis_&_william_joseph.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I408791 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I418692 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I192187&tree=SouthAustralia 6 http://records.ancestry.co.uk/ruth_phyllis_cadd_records.ashx?pid=101862444 7 http://records.ancestry.co.uk/clifford_john_duffield_records.ashx?pid=93983263 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/duffield_florence_winifred_&_clifford_john.jpg 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I644851 Bill Duffy was 58 years old. This is all the inscription says (1). There is inadequate information here to identify which Bill Duffy this is. Presumably one of his first names was William, but the lack of a date hinders the search. Trove searches of old newspapers only has available up to 1954, and this headstone looks more recent than that. Martha Eliza Duggan died aged 76 yrs on 24 Jan 1973, mother of Sheila and Jim (1). At GenealogySA there is no marriage with a groom surnamed Duggan to a Martha Eliza __, and no Duggan birth where the mother was a Martha Eliza __. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there was no SA birth of a Martha Eliza around 1897, so it is hard to ascertain her maiden name, although there were 2 possible births where the Christian names included Martha Elizabeth [1] Ivy Elizabeth Martha Evans was born on 11 Aug 1898 at Rhine Villa (now Rosedale) SA to parents Patrick Size Evans and Martha Blackburn (2), and [2] Martha Elizabeth Jane Laing was born on 26 Jul 1896 at Mount Pleasant SA to parents Peter Laing {born 10 July 1861 Adelaide} and Eleanor Frances Noblett {born c1863} (3). But this is where it stops, despite searches on Trove 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/duggan_martha_eliza.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I686365 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I100415 Phyllis Dunbar died aged 13 yrs on 18 April 1936; Beryl Dunbar died aged 4 wks on 17 Dec 1937 (1), making their birth years c1923 and 1937 respectively. Were they sisters or cousins? A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Phyllis Dunbar was born Phyllis May Dunbar on 24 Apr 1922 in Medindie, Adelaide to parents Earl Douglas Dunbar and Doris Irene Jasper (2), so she died just before her 14th birthday. On their separate headstone, Earl Douglas Dunbar (born 29 Oct 1897, died 25 Feb 1987); his wife Doris Irene Dunbar (born 17 Sept 1900, died 14 April 1993) were parents and grandparents (3). “Deaths: Dunbar: On the 18th April, at Gawler. Phyllis May, the beloved daughter of Douglas and Doris Dunbar, of Williamstown, aged 13
years and 11 months (suddenly)” The Advertiser, Monday 20 April 1936 p16 (4). Although there doesn’t seem to be Birth Notice [and it’s too recent for genealogy sources], here at least is Beryl’s Death Notice: “Deaths: Dunbar: On the 17th of December at Rhynie, Beryl Joyce, darling little daughter of Mr and Mrs D Dunbar, age one month” The Advertiser, Monday 20 December 1937 p12 (5), so we must leave her birth date as November 1937. Unfortunately I cannot see the photo of Betty Dunbar’s headstone, the link on the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (6) defaults to the Phyllis and Beryl Dunbar headstone (1). I cannot find a Betty [or Elizabeth] Dunbar on RootsWeb born 1911, so either she was not born in SA, or Dunbar was not her maiden name 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dunbar_phyllis_&_beryl.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I493990 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dunbar_earl_douglas_&_doris_irene.jpg 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35425444?searchTerm=phyllis%20dunbar&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/74362104?searchTerm=dunbar&searchLimits= 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 1034 Olive Dunstan died aged 94 yrs on 10 May 1994, wife of Roy (1). Roy Dunstan died aged 85 yrs an 5 June 1986, husband of Olive, and member of the Masons (2). The Roy Dunstan Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1923 to Olive Freda Muriel Day (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Olive Freda Muriel Day was born Olive Freada[sic] Murial[sic] Day on 27 Apr 1900 in Gawler to parents James Day and Anna Louisa Philps (4), but there was no Roy Dunstan birth under that name in SA. “Marriages: Dunstan—Day: On the 22nd September, at the Toddstreet Methodist Church, Gawler, by the Rev H Gunter, Roy Dunstan, eldest son of Mrs J Walker, Gawler East, to Olive, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs J Day, Gawler” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 27 October 1923 p37 (5). “Obituary: .... On December 10th there passed over Mrs Laura Walker, of Daly street, widow of the late Mr WJ Walker, and daughter of the late Mr Edmund Bown of Wallaroo Mines. Mrs Walker had the skilled services of her two daughters, Sister Olive (Gawler DTNS nurse) and Nurse Marjory, and all that was possible was done to check the grim invader, without result. The family left are Mr Roy Dunstan of Unley, and Messrs John, Perc, Reg, and Arthur Walker, and the two daughters Olive and Marjory” Bunyip, Friday 20 December 1935 p1 (6). I cannot trace Roy Dunstan’s birth despite all this info 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dunstan_olive.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dunstan_roy.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I484399 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87538546?searchTerm=roy%20dunstan%20olive%20day&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96653984?searchTerm=Walker%20Roy%20Dunstan&searchLimits= 1035 Harold Adolph Dutschke died aged 90 yrs on 17 Sept 2006, husband of Mary for 58 yrs (1), making his year of birth bc1916. Mary Christina Josephine Dutschke died aged 82 yrs on 7 March 2001 (2), making her year of birth c1919 and their marriage [2001 minus 58] c1943. There is no Harold Dutschke Marriage Index at GenealogySA but the Harold Dutschke Birth Index shows that Harold Adolf Dutschke was born in the Daly District in 1916 to parents Siegmund Paul Dutschke and Hulda Antonie Jericho (3). “Ruby Wedding: Dutschke— Jericho: Mr and Mrs SP Dutschke, of Gawler South, wish to announce the 40th anniversary of their wedding, solemnized at St Paul’s Lutheran Church, South Kilkerran, on October 24th 1906, by the late Pastor JH Hoopmann” Bunyip, Friday 25 October 1946 p5 (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the only Mary Christina Josephine combination of Christian names belonged to Mary Christina Josephine McCann who was born on 27 Oct 1918 in Balaklava SA to parents Joseph McCann and Matilda May Robinson (5). But can we link this name to the Dutschke family? A death notice does just this: “Deaths: Hameister (formerly Mrs McCann): On March 7, at residence of her daughter (Mrs H Dutschke, Gawler East), Matilda May, beloved wife of Harry Hameister, late of 7 Fourth street, Gawler South, aged 60 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 11 March 1954 p46 (6). This following death notice concerns the father of Harold Adolph Dutschke: “Death: Dutschke: On May 30 at Gawler, Siegmund Paul, beloved husband of Hulda and loving father of Louise, Carl, Arnold, Harold, Ruby and Erwin, loving father-in-law of Arthur, Netta, Edna, Mary and Elmore, fond grandfather of 12 grand-children, aged 82 years” Bunyip, Friday 4 June 1954 p2 (7). So was this Siegmund Paul the Paul also buried here, and if so, why does the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery say that he was aged 32 yrs when he died? This next Dutschke headstone is admittedly hard to read clearly. Paul Dutschke died aged 82 yrs on 30 May 1954, his wife Hulda Dutschke died aged 80 yrs on 18 Oct 1965 (9), which is not what it says on the “D” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery, where they say that Paul was 32 yrs in 1954, and Hulda was 30 yrs in 1965 (8). The ‘all Dutschke’ Birth Index at GenealogySA confirms that, in the Daly District in 1906, Siegmund Paul Dutschke married Hulda Antonie Jericho (3). Back on the RootsWeb site, Harold Adolph Dutschke was born on 18 Feb 1916 in Maitland SA to parents Siegmund Paul Dutschke and Hulda Antonie Jericho (10), Siegmund Paul Dutschke was born Paul Siegmund Dutschke on 22 Jul 1871 near Lyndoch Valley SA to parents Carl Friedrich Dutschke and Marie Zimang (11), and Hulda Antonie Jericho was born on 16 Feb 1885 in Wauraltee SA to parents August Hermann Jericho and Anna Kleinig (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dutschke_harold_adolph.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dutschke_mary_christina_josephine.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96848919?searchTerm=Dutschke&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I588131 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93946278?searchTerm=Dutschke%20McCann&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96902939?searchTerm=Dutschke&searchLimits=l-title=371 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastond_data.htm 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/dutschke_paul_&_hulda.jpg 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I495177 11 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I542208 12 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I75390 1036 Hermann Eckermann died aged 85 yrs on 29 May 1968; his wife Emilie Eckermann died aged 69 yrs on 4 June 1956 (1), making their years of birth c1883 and c1887 respectively. The “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has transposed these dates and ages, saying that Hermann died aged 69 yrs on 4 June 1956 and Emilie died aged 85 yrs on 29 May 1968 (2), but this is not what the headstone says. The Hermann Eckermann Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that, in the Burra District in 1912, Hermann Wilhelm Eckermann married Emilie Anna Schmaal (3), and the ‘all Eckermann’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Hermann Eckermann and

A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Hermann Wilhelm Eckermann was born on 4 Jun 1882 nr Waterloo SA to parents Wilhelm Eckermann and Sophie Moeller (4), and Emilie Anna Schmaal was born Amelia Anna Schmaal on 20 Apr 1887 at Hd of Booleroo SA to parents Henry Ernest John Schmaal and Anna Knauerhase (5). There is little press coverage of the early austere world war days of Mr and Mrs Eckermann, no wedding or birth notices, but at last we find an independent source to confirm what was on the genealogy sites: “Silver Weddings: Eckermann—Schmaal: On the 25th of September 1912, at St Paul's Lutheran Church, Pekina, Emilie, eldest daughter of the late H and A Schmaal, of Arwakurra, to Hermann, second son of the late W Eckermann and Mrs Eckermann, Waterloo.

The ‘all Eckermann’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that, in the Barossa District in 1916, Christoph Carl Eckermann married Johanne Emilie Schmitke (2), and the ‘all Eckermann’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Christoph Carl Eckermann and Johanne Emilie Schmitke shows two births, both in the Barossa District [1] Loana May Eckermann b1917; [2] Betty Joyce Eckermann b1922 (2), as well as confirming the birth year of Christoph Carl Eckermann b1892 in the Gilbert District to parents Johann Joachim Theodore Eckermann and Johanna Wilhelmine Ahrns (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Christoph Carl Eckermann was born on 5 Dec 1892 in Saddleworth SA to parents Johann Joachim Theodore Eckermann and Johanna Wilhelmine Ahrns (3), and Johanne Emilie Schmitke was born Johanna Emelia Schmitschk[sic] on 27 Jun 1896 in Mount Torrens SA to parents Gustav Friederick Schmitschk and Johanna Emelia Muster (4). The ‘J Muster’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Nairne District in 1880, Johanne Emilie Muster married Friedrich Gustav Schmitke (2), showing that the surname Schmitschk was mistakenly written on Johanne Emilie Schmitke’s birth record. Johann Albert Eckermann died aged 85 yrs on 6 Feb 1976; Clara Alwine Eckermann died aged 81 yrs on 26 May 1978, parents of Doreen, Herbert, Roy and Joyce (1). The “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Johann Albert Eckermann was 81 yrs old when he died in 1978 (2), but they have copied down the last details of Clara Alwine instead of his own. Their years of birth are thus c1891 and c1897 respectively. The ‘J Eckermann’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA reveals that, in the Barossa District in 1918, Johannes Albert Eckermann married Clara Alwine Lucas (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Johannes Albert Eckermann was born as Johann Albert Eckermann on 28 May 1890 in Manoora SA to parents Theodor Eckermann and Louise Lange (4), and Clara Alwine Lucas was born on 16 Aug 1896 in Kangaroo Flat SA to parents Frederich William Lucas {born 21 April 1867 Concordia SA} and Marie Ernstine Dahltz {born 16 June 1866 Lyndoch Valley} (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eckermann_johann_albert_&_clara_alwine.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastone_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I624624 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I86652 Dores Eckermann died aged 37 yrs on 16 May 1951, wife of Paul, mother of Kevin, Brenton and Roger (1), making her year of birth c1914. There is no Paul Eckermann Marriage Index on GenealogySA, and any children would have been born after the 1928 genealogy cut-off for birth data, so we must look elsewhere for Dores Eckermann’s maiden name. “In Memoriam: Eckermann: A tribute to love to the memory of my dear wife and our dear mother, Dores Eckermann (nee Rohde), who was called to her heavenly home on May 16, 1951, at Gawler, lovlngly remembered by her husband and three young sons at Hampden” The Advertiser, Friday 16 May 1952 p20 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Dores Rohde was born Dores Adela Rohde on 6 Dec 1913 in Geranium Plains SA to parents Friedrich Carl Rohde and Alwine Rosalie Schmidt (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eckermann_dores.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47396613?searchTerm=Eckermann%20Paul%20Dores&searchLimits= 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I642147 Martin Eckert died aged 76 yrs on 31 Aug 1929; husband of EM Eckert (1), making his year of birth c1853. Emma Martha Eckert, wife of Martin, died aged 82 yrs on 22 Jan 1946 (2), making her year of birth c1864. The Martin Eckert Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that, in the Crawford District in 1883, Martin Eckert married Martha Emma Brokate (3). Martha Emma Brokate was born on 5 Nov 1863 in Mount Torrens SA to parents John Frederick Christof Brokate and Johanna Augusta Krafte (4), but there is no Martin Eckert born c1853 on RootsWeb. He was born in Germany: “Obituary: Mr Martin Eckert, who died at his residence, Bridge-street, Gawler South, at the age of 75, was born in Germany, and arrived with his parents in South Australia in 1858, settling in Springton, and later removing to Robertstown. In the early days he was a shearer at Edeowie, Mount Arden, and Canowie stations. In 1881 he took up a section of land in the hundred of Yarrah, about ten miles from Quorn, which was then opened up, being originally part of Mount Arden station. In October 1883, he married Miss Emma Martha Brokate, of Springton. He remained in the district for about 40 years, during which time he acquired adjoining property. For 30 years he served as an elder of the Lutheran Church at North Quorn. He was a trustee of the Arden Vale school building from its establishment, and for 27 years held the secretaryship of the trust, resigning when he left the district, in 1921. He represented Yarrah ward in the District Council of Kanyaka as councillor from 1913 till 1921. He was one of the foundation members, and later chairman of the Arden Vale and Wyacca branch of the Agricultural Bureau, and attended a number of Adelaide conferences as a delegate. In recognition of his work and interest in the branch he was made a life member of the bureau. In 1921 his sons, Messrs Oscar and Louis Eckert, took over the management of his farms in Arden Vale, and with his wife he settled in Gawler South, where he lived in retirement, taking a great interest in the Gawler Lutheran Church. Two sons, Messrs WB and OA Eckert, served in the Great War. He has left a widow, six sons, and one daughter — Messrs GA Eckert (Mile-End), PO Eckert, WB Eckert, and LJ Eckert (Arden Vale), OA Eckert (Mount Barker), FA Eckert (Peterborough), and Mrs AE Foote (Quorn). There are 21 grandchildren” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 12 September 1929 p20 (5). On the website Geni, Martin Eckert was born on 15 Sept 1853 in Wittenburg, MecklenburgVorpommern, Germany (the son of Georg Maria E Eckert), and died 31 Aug 1929 in Springton SA. He was the husband of Emma Martha
Brokate, with whom he had 12 children (6). On the website regarding the Lehmann Henschke family, Martin Eckert’s family is discussed. Martin Eckert was born on 15 Sep 1853 Wittenburg, Prussia to parents Georg Eckert (25 Oct 1831 - 25 Apr 1884) and Maria Towke (4 Jun 1831 - 10 Apr 1922). Martin Eckert arrived in SA 3 Feb 1858 aboard the Ohio, died 31 Aug 1929 Springton SA, and is buried in Gawler. Emma Martha Brokate was born on 5 Nov 1863 Mount Torrens SA to parents Johann Friedrich Christopher Brokate (1824 - 1 Sep 1899) and Johanne Auguste Kraft (ca 3 Sep 1835 - 29 Jul 1909), died 22 Jan 1946 Gawler, and is buried Willaston SA. Martin Eckert and Emma Martha Brokate married on 1 Oct 1883 Springton and had the following children [1] Otilie Minna Eckert (1885 - 1902); [2] Amanda Helena Eckert (1887 - 1887); [3] Gustav Adolf Eckert (1888 - 1973); [4] Friedrich Rudolf Eckert (1890 - 1890) [Twin]; [5] Ernst Gustav Eckert (1890 - 1891) [Twin]; [6] Clara Hedwig Eckert (1892 - 1892); [7] Annie Gertrude Eckert (1893 - 1945); [8] Paul Oscar Eckert (1894 1958); [9] Berthold Wilhelm Eckert (1896 - 1945); [10] Oswald Alfred Eckert (3 Oct 1898 - 24 Dec 1973); [11] Johannis Ludwig (Louis John) Eckert (b1900); [12] Albert Friderich Eckert (1901 - 1977) (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eckert_martin.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/eckert_emma_martha.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I320065 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90054143?searchTerm=Martin%20Eckert&searchLimits= 6 http://www.geni.com/people/Martin-Eckert/6000000016665802595 7 http://graememoad.com/Family/WC51/WC51_246.HTM 1041 William Henry Edmonds died aged 87 yrs on 13 Aug 1954; Eric George Edmonds died aged 58 yrs on 8 Dec 1958 (1), making their respective years of birth c1867 and c1900. “Deaths: Edmonds: On August 13, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, William Henry, beloved husband of Eliza Jane Edmonds, of 14 Adelaide road, Gawler, and loved father of William, Eric, Ada, Laurence and Russell, aged 87 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 19 August 1954 p42 (2). Eliza Jane Edmonds died aged 84 yrs on 1 March 1964, mother of Bill, Eric, Ada, Laurie and Jack; her children Jack Edmonds died aged 60 yrs on 5 March 1968, and Ada ?Edmonds died aged 84 yrs on 17 April 1987 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Eric George Edmonds was born on 13 Aug 1899 at Yatta Creek SA to parents William Henry Edmonds and Eliza Jane Woodifield (4), Ada Edmonds was born on 19 Oct 1902 in Williamstown SA to parents William Henry Edmonds and Eliza Jane Woodifield (5). The ‘all Edmonds’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Henry Edmonds and Eliza Jane Woodifield shows 7 births, all in the Crawford District [1] William Henry Thomas Gilbert Edmonds b1897; [2] Eric George Edmonds b1899; [3] Frederick Edmonds b1901; [4] Ada Edmonds b1902; [5] Laurence Edmonds b1905; [6] Russell Keith Edmonds b1907; [7] Frank Edmonds b1910 (6). William Henry Death Notice of 1954 notes William, Eric, Ada, Laurence and Russell; and Eliza Jane’s headstone in 1964 notes Bill, Eric, Ada, Laurie and Jack; which leads one to think that maybe Russell is called Jack, but it still leaves Frederick and Frank unaccounted for. The Frederick Edmonds Death Index at GenealogySA shows Frederick Edmonds died in the Crawford District in 1901, with nominated relative his father William Edmonds (6), and the Frank Edmonds Death Index shows that Frank Edmonds died in the Crawford District in 1910, with nominated relative his father William Henry Edmonds (6). So it only leaves Russell Keith Edmonds not explained. We know from the headstone that Jack died in 1968, and the Russell Keith Edmonds Death Index shows that he also died in the Crawford District in 1968, with nominated relative A Edmonds [‘T’ in brackets, whatever that means] (6). So there’s good evidence to think that Russell Keith Edmonds was known in the family as Jack. Back on RootsWeb, Russell Keith Edmonds was born on 21 Sep 1907 in Williamstown to parents William Henry Edmonds and Eliza Jane Woodifield (7), but I cannot find the birth records for William Henry Edmonds born c1867 on RootsWeb. On the TribalPages website for the Woodifield family, Eliza Jane Woodifield was born on 28 Aug 1879 in Barossa Diggings SA, died on 1 Mar 1964 in Gawler South (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/edmonds_william_henry_&_eric_george.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93914223?searchTerm=william%20henry%20edmonds&searchLimits= 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/edmonds_eliza_jane,_jack_&_ada.jpg 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I623858 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I600015 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I496556 8 http://www.tribalpages.com/tribe/familytree?uid=familyhistory93&surname=Woodifield 1042 Norman Edmonds died aged 57 yrs on 17 Nov 1952; his wife Nellie Edmonds died aged 60 yrs on 20 Feb 1966 (1), making their respective years of birth c1895 and c1906. The “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has misread the headstone and put Norman Edmonds’ date of death and age against Nellie Edmonds’ name, and Nellie’s details on Norman’s line (2). The Norman Edmonds Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Norman Leonard Edmonds was born in the Daly District in 1895 to parents Joseph Edmonds and Marion Edmonds formerly Brown nee Brock (3), but there is no Norman Edmonds Marriage Index at GenealogySA. To confirm the definite date of Norman Edmonds’ death: “Deaths: Edmonds: On Nov 17, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Norman Leonard, the beloved husband of Nellie Jane Edmonds, of 42 Fourth St, Gawler South, loved father of Stan and Reg, father-in-law of Gwen and grandpa of Bobby and Billy, aged 57 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 20 November 1952 p38 (4). This death notice signals a Broken Hill connection and may explain some missing birth and marriage details in SA: “Deaths: Edmonds: On November 17, at Gawler, Norman Leonard, of 42 Fourth St. Gawler (formerly of Ryan St, Railway Town), beloved husband of Nellie Jane Edmonds and loving father of Stan and Reg. Aged 57 years” Barrier Miner (Broken Hill NSW), Wednesday 19 November 1952 p10 (5). Norman Leonard Edmonds was born on 30 Jun 1895 in Kulpara SA to parents Joseph Edmonds and Marion Edmonds fmly Brown nee Brock (6), but there is no record here of the births of Stan and Reg, who may have been born in Broken Hill, but not announced in their local newspaper Barrier Miner there. Without knowing Nellie Jane Edmonds’ maiden name, I cannot find her date of birth, although most likely [but far from definitely] she was Nellie Jane May who was born in Gawler in 1906 to parents Stanley Garnet May and Nellie Jane Osborn (7). Gwyneth Edmonds was born on 29 April 1921 and died on 17 Nov 1996; her husband Stan Edmonds was born on 5 Dec 1926 and died 29 May 2001; parents of Robert, William and Valerie (8). Back on RootsWeb, the only ‘Gwyneth’ who was born on 29 April 1921 in SA was Gwyneth Maude Paternoster who was born on 29 Apr 1921 in Gawler to parents Walter Frederick Paternoster and Lucy Maude Lavis (9). This is confirmed by their Marriage Notice: Edmonds — Paternoster: The marriage of Gwyneth Maud, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs WF Paternoster, to Stanley Norman, elder son of Mr and Mrs NL Edmonds, both of Gawler, was solemnised at the Presbyterian Church by Rev Page on March 15” The Advertiser, Wednesday 20 March 1946 p16 (10). A search of Stan Edmonds on Newspaper Death Notices at GenealogySA shows that there were notices in the 2001 Advertiser for Stanley Norman (Stan) Edmonds (3), but he doesn’t appear on the Stan Edmonds Marriage Index, or amongst the births at RootsWeb. Reginald George Edmonds, husband of Joan Margaret, died aged 68 yrs on 10 Jan 1997 (11), making his year of birth c1929.

The ‘all Edmunds’ Birth Index at GenealogySA has no Chris, Anthony nor Eva Edmunds births (up to 1928), and the ‘all Edmunds’ Marriage Index has no groom surnamed Edmunds who married a Jennifer. The Savill Index for Funeral Notices in the Advertiser shows one for Jennifer Edmunds on 6 Sept 1977 (2), confirming the date on the headstone. On his headstone, with lettering not easy to read, Maxwell Edmunds died aged 49 yrs on 3 Aug 1980 (3), making his year of birth c1931, and after the 1928 cut-off for genealogy records to be shown. “Births: Edmunds (nee MM Window): On the 30th May, at Hutchlnson Hospital, Gawler, to Mr and Mrs SL Edmunds—a son” Advertiser and Register (Adelaide), Wednesday 3 June 1931 p14 (4), which must be Maxwell’s birth, making him 49 years old when he died. Using Trove, there was a Marriage Notice that attracted my interest: “Marriages: Hobbs— Edmunds: The marriage of Jennifer, only daughter of late Mr and Mrs WW Hobbs of Findon, to Maxwell, only son of Mr and Mrs SL Edmunds, of Waikerie, to be solemnised at Redbanks Methodist Church, September 12, 2 pm” The Advertiser, Tuesday 8 September 1953 p24 (5). The Mr and Mrs SL Edmunds could be Mr and Mrs Stanley Leonard Edmunds, whom we studied in Note 1044. “Births: Edmunds (nee Hobbs): On September 5, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Jennifer and Max —a son” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 9 September 1954 p42 (6). It would have been nice to match their son’s name to one of those on Jennifer’s headstone, if I am right it would be Chris. I could not find the Death Index of the late WW Hobbs noted on Jennifer’s Marriage Notice, but in her Engagement Notice, her father was named the late WU Hobbs: “Hobbs— Edmunds: The engagement is announced of Jennifer, only daughter of the late Mr and Mrs WU Hobbs, of Findon, to Maxwell, only son of Mr and Mrs SL Edmunds, of Waikerie” The Advertiser, Monday 6 July 1953 p18 (7). The ‘W Hobbs’ Death Index at GenealogySA shows that William Underwood Hobbs died in Adelaide in 1945 (8). On the ‘W Hobbs’ Marriage Index, William Underwood Hobbs had, in the Port Adelaide District in 1920, married Bernice Lavina Gann (8). Both Jennifer’s parents had died by 1945: “Deaths: Hobbs: On June 18, at Adelaide (suddenly), William Underwood, husband of the late Bernice Hobbs, of 219 Findon rd, Flndon, and loving father of Jennifer, aged 65 years” The Advertiser, Tuesday 19 June 1945 p10 (9). The Bernice Hobbs Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Bernice Lavina Hobbs died in Adelaide in 1942, with nominated relative her husband William Underwood Hobbs (8). “Deaths: Hobbs: On April 22, Bernice Lavina, dealy beloved wife of William Under wood Hobbs, of Findon rd, Findon, and loving mother of Jenifer[sic], aged 49 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 30 April 1942 p13 (10). All this abovementioned detail information tells a logical story, but so far, there is no definite proof. On the law of probabilities, the Jennifer Edmunds who died in 1977 was Mrs Maxwell Leonard Edmunds nee Jennifer Hobbs. But we still don’t know her age, or date of birth as there is no mention of her birth on GenealogySA or RootsWeb, which means she was probably born after 1928, most likely in the early 1930’s 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/edmunds_jennifer.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-E.html 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/edmunds_maxwell.jpg 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35664282?searchTerm=edmunds%20window&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48931622?searchTerm=Jennifer%20Edmunds&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93984430?searchTerm=edmonds%20hobbs&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48262439?searchTerm=edmonds%20hobbs&searchLimits= 8 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43498178?searchTerm=william%20underwood%20hobbs&searchLimits= 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92374594?searchTerm=Bernice%20Lavina%20hobbs&searchLimits= 1044 Sarah Edmunds died aged 72 yrs on 14 June 1945; her husband William Walter Edmunds died aged 77 yrs on 25 Oct 1952 (1), making their respective years of birth c1873 and c1875. The William Walter Edmunds Marriage Index shows that in the District in 1904, he married Sarah Moore (2). William Walter Edmunds was born William Walter Edmonds on 17 Oct 1876 in Lyndoch SA to parents William Edmonds and Sarah Burnett (3), and the closet fit for Sarah Moore is the Sarah Moore who was born on 20 Oct 1871 in Mannanarie SA to parents James Alexander Moore and Maria Lawrence (4). Some confirmation for this is found on a website dedicated to the “Descendants of James Bennett Moore” where it discusses the second wife of James Alexander Moore as being Maria Annie Lawrence (1841 – 1916) and they had children [1] George Alexander Moore (1863 – 1949); [2] Sarah Ann Moore (b1864); [3] Hannah Robertina Moore (1865 – 1867); [4] Alexander Laurence Moore (1867 – 1956) who married Sarah Anne "Annie" Peake (1863 – 1947); [5] Thomas Clement Henry Moore (1870 – 1913) who married Lydia Gaston (1877 – 1908); [6] Sarah Moore (1871 – 1945) who married William Walter Edmunds (1876 – 1952); [6] Emily Moore (1873 – 1952) (5), showing independently that the birth and death years of [5] Sarah Moore and William Walter Edmunds correspond to those we have learned about from elsewhere. The ‘all Edmunds’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Walter Edmunds and Sarah Moore three births, all in the Barossa District [1] Ivan Cawthorne Edmunds b1906; [2] Stanley Leonard Edmunds b1907; [3] Murray Alfred Edmunds b1909 (2). Always mindful of trying to trace the story of Jennifer Edmunds [see Note 1043], did one of three sons here marry a Jennifer? That is, was Sarah perhaps the mother-in-law of Jennifer? Back on RootsWeb, Stanley Leonard Edmunds was born on 5 May 1907 in Lyndoch to parents Walter William Edmunds and Sarah Moore (6), and Murray Alfred Edmunds was born 17 Jun 1909 in Lyndoch to the same parents as for Stanley (7). Murray Alfred Edmunds died aged 53 yrs on 23 April 1963; his wife Edna Winifred Elsie Edmunds died aged 81 yrs on 7 Nov 1996; parents of Delma and Dean (8). The “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has again mixed up the details and has Edna’s age and date of death down for Murray, and Murray’s details as hers (9), which I have restored them to their rightful places. It didn’t make sense for Murray b1909 could have died aged 53 yrs in 1996, when 1963 sits well. Back on RootsWeb, the only person born in SA up to 1928 with the first names Edna Winifred Elsie was Edna Winifred Elsie Down who was born on 15 Mar 1915 in Lyndoch to parents Frank Rupert Down and Adelaide King (10), which exactly fits the dates and age. The Ivan Cawthorne Edmunds Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that, in 1936 in the Gawler District, Ivan Cauthorne[sic] Edmunds married Mary Veronica Higgins (2). Ivan Cauthorne[sic] Edmunds lived
1045
1046
1047
1048
and died in Morgan SA, and was buried In Morgan Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 237-7 on the 29th of January 1959 (11). Of the three sons, this only leaves Stanley Leonard Edmunds to find a Jennifer. On their headstone, Stanley Leonard Edmunds died aged 79 yrs on 24 May 1986; Mildred May Edmunds died aged 95 yrs on 8 July 2001 (12), so no Jennifer here either. The Stanley Leonard Edmunds Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that, in 1930 in the Barossa District, he married Mildred May Window (2). Turning again to RootsWeb, Mildred May Window was born on 29 Jan 1906 in Gawler to parents Thomas Henry Window and Edith Ellenor Turner (13). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/edmunds_sarah_&_william_walter.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I625003 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I133901 5 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/m/o/o/Alan-E-Moore-South-Australia/ODT1-0001.html 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I496634 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I496640 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/edmunds_murray_alfred_&_edna_winifred_elsie.jpg 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastone_data.htm 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I492241 11 http://www.mid-murray.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=5247 12 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/edmunds_stanley_leonard_&_mildred_may.jpg 13 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I245778 Charles John Elfenbein died aged 79 yrs on 12 June 1938; his wife Ida Amelia Elfenbein died aged 80 yrs {in her 81st yr} on 8 Oct 1942; their only son Harmon Cyril Elfenbein died aged 31 yrs on 16 Dec 1914 (1). The Charles John Elfenbein Marriage Index shows that he was married in the Encounter Bay District to Ida Amelia Barker (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Charles John Elfenbein was born on 19 Sep 1858 in Goolwa SA to parents Charles Elfenbein and Anne McNichol (3), Harmon Cyril Elfenbein was born on 18 Dec 1883 in Goolwa SA to parents Charles John Elfenbein and Ida Barker (4), and Ida Amelia Barker was born on 22 May 1862 in Middleton SA to parents John Barker and Eliza Ellis (5), showing that she was 80 yrs and 5 months old when she died, in her 81st year. “Deaths: Elfenbein: On the 16th December, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Harmon Cyril, dearly beloved son of Charles J and Ida A Elfenbein, of Gawler South, aged 30 years” The Advertiser, Friday 18 December 1914 p8 (6), 2 days before his 31st birthday. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/elfenbein_charles_john,_ida_amelia_&_harmon_cyril.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I650511 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I650522 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I293143 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5435165?searchTerm=Harmon%20Cyril%20Elfenbein&searchLimits= Norman A Elliott died aged 75 yrs on 24 Aug 1978; his wife Sarah Elliott died aged 87 yrs on 5 Nov 1998; parents of Connie and Robert (1). The Norman A Elliott Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Flinders District in 1936, Norman Alfred Edward Elliott was married to Sarah Irene Ann Clifton (2), and the Norman A Elliott Birth Index shows that Norman Alfred Edward Elliott was born in the Flinders District in 1902 to parents James Elliott and Mary Dunn (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Norman Alfred Edward Elliott was born in 1902 in Hd of Hawker SA to parents James Elliott and Mary Dunn (3), and Sarah Irene Ann Clifton was born on 6 Jul 1911 in Kadina SA to parents Albert Henry Clifton and Victoria May Peters (4). To find Norman Elliott’s precise date of birth, we must look elsewhere as the usually reliable RootsWeb only has the birth year. On the chance he may have served in WWII, a search of the World War 2 Nominal Roll shows the name of Norman Alfred Edward Elliott who was born on 12 Nov 1902 in Cowell SA and was living in Cleve SA when he enlisted on 14 May 1942 in the Australian Army, showing Next of Kin to be Sarah Elliott. Private Elliott was discharged on 17 Jul 1943 from 5 Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/elliott_norman_a_&_sarah.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I272138 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I472309 5 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=730495 Jean Cecilia Elliott died aged 70 yrs on 24 Aug 1983; her husband Lawrence William Elliott died aged 95 yrs {partly obscured by flowers} on 17 Dec 2003; parents of ___r, Patrick, Stephney __ (1). It is noted that the “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has Jean Cecilia Elliott’s middle name as Cecelia (2), and not Cecilia, as it appears on the headstone. The Lawrence William Elliott Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Flinders District in 1933 to Jean Cecilia Enright (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Lawrence William Elliott was born as William Lawerence[sic] Elliott on 10 Apr 1908 in Carpa SA to parents John Elliott and Annie Turner Dunn (4), and Jean Cecilia Enright was born as Jean Cecelia Enright on 21 Nov 1912 in Minara SA to parents Sidney James Enright and Olive Sylvia Adelaide Coombs (5). Clearly the spelling of Cecilia is not set in stone. And Lawrence William Elliott was 95 yrs old when he died. On an Ancestry.com website, William Elliott was born on 21 Jun 1828, and married Jane Wear {1829-1896} with whom he had 6 children. He died on 7 Jul 1883 in Happy Valley SA. Their children were [1] John Elliott; [2] Margaret Elliott b1851; [3] Charlies Elliott b1853; [4] Sara Elliott b1856, d1866; [5] William Elliott b1858; [6] James Elliott b1862. From these facts we see that the fathers of Norman Alfred Edward Elliott [see Note 1046] and Lawrence William Elliott were brothers, and so Norman Alfred Edward Elliott and Lawrence William Elliott were cousins (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/elliott_jean_cecelia_&_lawrence_william.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastone_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I498393 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I499849 6 http://records.ancestry.com/william_elliott_records.ashx?pid=182781115 Jeanette Ellul b1916, d2007, wife of Joseph (dec’d), mother of Roger, mother-in-law of Rhondda (dec’d) and Bronwyn, grandmother of Leesa, Simon, Danielle and Nathan (1). There is no Joseph Ellul Marriage Index at GenealogySA and no trace of a marriage announcement for Joseph and Jeanette Ellul using Trove. A search on Newspaper Death Notices at GenealogySA shows that there was a Death Notice in the 2007 Advertiser for Jeanette Ellul (2), but there was no mention of a Funeral Notice on the Savill Index for her (3). Assuming that
Jeanette Ellul was born in SA, search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there were 3 births in 1916 in SA of girls with Jeanette amongst their Christian names [1] Jeanette Maude Arthurson was born on 19 Nov 1916 in Adelaide to parents James Arthurson and Elizabeth McCormick (4); [2] Marie Jeanette Mona McLean was born on 17 Sep 1916 in Oodnadatta SA to parents Archibald McLean and Beatrice Verna May Dwiar (5); [3] Jeanette Bower Robert was born on 1 Apr 1916 in Stirling SA to parents John Domaille Robert and Florence Emma Bower (6). Not one of these three have a Marriage Index on GenealogySA, but nor are they on the Death Index under their maiden names. We can exclude Jeanette Maude Arthurson as she was married to Mr Harris: “Approaching Marriages: Arthurson—Harris: The marriage of Jeanette, daughter Mr-Mrs Arthurson, Walkerville, to Vincent William, second son Mr-Mrs Harris, Pennington, Saturday, Feb 6, St Laurence's, North Adelaide, 8.30 am” The Advertiser, Wednesday 3 February 1943 p8 (7). I could not find Roger Ellul’s Birth Notice in the press, but I can confirm the details on the headstone: “Births: Ellul: To Rhondda and Roger, a daughter, Danielle Louise, born 1st April, a sister for Leesa and Simon” The Canberra Times, Thursday 3 April 1980 p14 (8). “Deaths: Ellul, Rhondda Hazel: April 1st 1980 at Canberra, late of 6 Marlock St, Rivett, loved wife of Roger, loved mother or Leesa, Simon and Danielle” The Canberra Times, Thursday 3 April 1980 p14 (9). This second marriage for Roger tells us that his parents were living in Sydney: “Marriages: Ellul — Pope: Mr and Mrs Breton Pope of Sutton, together with Mr and Mrs Joseph Ellul of Sydney, are pleased to announce the marriage of Bronwyn and Roger today at 11.00am, O'Connor Uniting Church” The Canberra Times, Saturday 28 February 1981 p20 (10). But all this has not helped us find Jeanette Ellul’s maiden name nor precise dates for her birth or death. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/ellul_jeanette.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-E.html 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I434429 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I592476 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I639242 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48900178?searchTerm=Jeanette%20Maude%20Arthurson&searchLimits= 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/110587632?searchTerm=Ellul%20Roger&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/110587628?searchTerm=Ellul%20Roger&searchLimits= 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/125654987?searchTerm=Ellul%20Roger&searchLimits= 1049 Marjorie Elizabeth Elvin, wife of Lloyd Elvin, died aged 67 yrs on 11 Sept 1991 (1), making her year of birth c1924. There is no Lloyd Elvin Marriage Index at GenealogySA, and although Marjorie Elizabeth Elvin is noted on the headstone to be a mother, it will be too recent for the genealogy websites’ 1928 cut-off. The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have been in the Advertiser shows one for ‘Mari Elvin’ on 12 Sept 1991 (2), the day after Marjorie Elizabeth Elvin’s death. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that only ‘Marjorie Elizabeth’ fits the dates perfectly: Marjorie Elizabeth Rickard was born on 19 Feb 1924 in Moonta SA to parents Henry Rickard and Mary Hannah Shields (3). However, I cannot find a confirmatory marriage or birth notice linking her to Lloyd Elvin. In fact the name ‘Lloyd Elvin’ doesn’t score any hits at all on Trove [up to 1954], nor on GenealogySA or RootsWeb, and maybe he came from overseas after WWII. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/elvin_marjorie_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-E.html 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I637933 1050 Alphons Engelbrecht was born 4 April 1854 and died 26 April 1860, son of Theodor and Caroline Engelbrecht (1), this headstone was originally placed in Gawler’s original cemetery, now known as Pioneer Park, and later moved to Gawler’s main cemetery at Willaston; Bertha Engelbrecht died aged 30 year on 5 Oct 1890, daughter of the late T Engelbrecht of Gawler (2). The ‘all Engelbrecht‘ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Theodor Engelbrecht and Caroline __ shows 6 children born to Theodor Engelbrecht and Caroline Hippauf {in brackets when spelling at variance} [1] Leonore Engelbrecht b1852 in Adelaide; [2] Auguste Caroline Engelbrecht b1851 in Adelaide; [3] Alphons Ludwig Engelbrecht b1854 {Caroline Hippanz} in Adelaide; [4] Theodor Engelbrecht b1855 in Adelaide; [5] Caroline Marie Engelbrecht b1857 in the Barossa District; [6] Bertha Engelbrecht b1860 {Theador Engelbrecht and Caroline Hippaul} in the Barossa District (3). As we know from the headstone, Alphons Ludwig Engelbrecht died in 1860, and on the Bertha Engelbrecht Death Index at GenealogySA, Bertha Mary Engelbrecht died in 1890 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Bertha Mary Engelbrecht was born just Bertha Engelbrecht on 8 Jul 1860 in Gawler to parents Theador Engelbrecht and Caroline Hippaul (4), and although RootsWeb says that Alphons Ludwig Engelbrecht was born on 5th Apr 1854 in Adelaide to parents Theodor Engelbrecht and Caroline Hippanz (5), the headstone seems to be clearly saying that he was born on the 4th April 1854 (1). According to data on the LDS website, Theodor Engelbrecht was actually Theodore Friedrich Engelbrecht, and was born on 6 Mar 1828 Magdeburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany, and died 17 Feb 1880 (6). Also using LDS data, Caroline Hippauf was actually Henrietta Caroline Hippauf, b1824, died 20 Jun 1906 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/engelbrecht_alphons.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/engelbrecht_bertha.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I673066 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I673033 6 histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I157066&tree... 7 histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I157075&tree... 1051 Amelia England died aged 82 yrs on 24 Jan 1956, her headstone taking one face of an obelisk, another face being dedicated to the Marchant Family of Philip James and Mary Marchant (1), which may indicate a family connection. Her year of birth is c1874. There was no suitable Amelia England Birth Index, nor Death Index at GenealogySA. However, the Amelia Marchant Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Amelia England Marchant was born in Adelaide in 1873 to parents Philip James Marchant and Mary Bowering (2), whose names match those on the other visible face of the obelisk. It is not Amelia England buried here, it is Amelia England Marchant. The E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has got misread the meaning, which is quite understandable if you don’t take into account the big picture. (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Amelia England Marchant was born on 2 Jun 1873 in Adelaide to parents Philip James Marchant and Mary Bowering (4). This should be removed to the “M” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/england_amelia.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32

The Order of Saint Benedict (OSB) tells us that Bernard Escribano was a Catholic priest. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there were no births in SA up to 1928 with that surname. The following are the priests who were ordained at St Mary's Cathedral on November 30: Rev Fathers John Collins, J Byrne, J Toohey, J Isaac, G O'Byrne, Bernard Escribano OSB, H Asprey MSC, William Dixon MSC, Richard Docherty, William Connors, and Stanislaus Tyler” The Catholic Press (Sydney NSW), Thursday 15 December 1927 p24 (2). Apart from learning that ‘Escribano’ means court clerk, lawyer's clerk, notary, or notary public (3), that’s all I have found out about the Rev Father Bernard Escribano. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/escribano_bernard.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/115210565?searchTerm=Bernard%20Escribano%20OSB&searchLimits= 3 http://dictionary.reverso.net/spanish-english/escribano Lucy Ellen Everett died aged 50 yrs on 18 Oct 1934; wife of George Douglas Everett, mother of Maisie (1). The George Douglas Everett Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in the Barossa District in 1889 to parents James Everett and Mary Jane Congdon (2), and the corresponding Marriage Index shows he was married in Adelaide in 1920 to Lucy Ellen Crapp (2) A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there is no birth record for Lucy Ellen Crapp on RootsWeb. Maybe Crapp is her married name, as evidenced by: “Deaths: Crapp: On the 4th December, at his father's residence, "?Goanyera? House" Main North-road, Enfield, William Frederick, the loving husband of Lucy Crapp, second and beloved son of WH and GB Crapp, aged 35 years” The Advertiser, Monday 6 December 1915 p6 (3). There is no William Frederick Crapp Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but the corresponding Birth Index states that William Frederick Miller Crapp was born in Adelaide in 1880 to parents William Henry Crapp and Grace Barnes Watts (2), and the Death Index confirms he died in Adelaide in 1915 (2), also confirming he was 35 yrs old when he died. At last we find her maiden name: “Marriages: Crapp—Gillibrand: On the 18th May, at Methodist Church, Hammond, by Rev J Watts (uncle of bridegroom), assisted by Rev T Flood, Frederick William, second son of WH Crapp, Enfield, to Lucy, second daughter of FA Gillibrand, Orroroo” The Advertiser, Thursday 15 September 1910 p12 (4). Back on RootsWeb, we find that Lucy Ellen Gillibrand was born as Lucey[sic] Ellen Gillibrand on 19 Aug 1884 in Sandwell (now Port Adelaide) to parents Frank Gillibrand and Pheobie Hall (5). Mrs Lucy Ellen Everett formerly Crapp nee Gillibrand was thus aged 50 yrs when she died on 18 Oct 1934, the date of which is confirmed by the Death Notice: “Deaths: Everett: On the 18th October, at Gawler, Lucy Ellen, the dearly beloved wife of George Douglas Everett, of Roseworthy, and loved mother of Maisie (suddenly)” The Advertiser, Saturday 20 October 1934 p14 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/everett_lucy_ellen.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/8665710?searchTerm=crapp%20Lucy&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5212779?searchTerm=William%20crapp%20Lucy&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I734014 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35012653?searchTerm=everett%20lucy&searchLimits= David William Evans died aged 71 yrs on 18 June 1940 {although the last number is hard to read}; his brother Benjaman John Evans died aged 75 yrs on 27 March 1946 (1), making their years of birth c1869 and c1871 respectively. The “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery spells Benjaman as Benjamin (2), which may be correct but it is not what the headstone says. The David William Evans Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in the Gilbert District in 1869 to parents David Evans and Penina Johnson (3). The ‘all Evans’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of David Evans and Penina Johnson [1] David William Evans b1869 to parents David Evans and Penina Johnson in the Gilbert District; [2] Albert Evans b1878 to parents David Evans and Penninah Johnson in the Frome District; [3] James Bowen Evans b1881 to parents David William Evans and Peninah Johnson in the Frome District; [4] Peninna Constance Evans b1885 to parents David William Evans and Peninna Johnson in the Frome District; [5] Sarah Jane Evans b1888 to parents David William Evans and Peninah Johnson in the Frome District (3). Benjamin John Evans dies: “Deaths: Evans: On March 27, at Willaston, suddenly, Benjamin John, dearly loved brother of Addie, Mrs Harvey (Port Germeln), Albert (Red Hill), Nena, Mrs H Thomas (Gulnare), Mrs F Thomas (Auburn), and Dave, Will and Jim (deceased), aged 75” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 4 April 1946 p17 (4). From this notice there were at least 9 children born {including Benjamin John}, but only 5 are recorded on GenealogySA. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that David William Evans was born on 21 Jan 1869 in Julia Creek SA to parents David Evans and Penina Johnson (5), but there is no record of the birth of Benjamin John Evans at RootsWeb, despite various spelling combinations. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/evans_david_william_&_benjamin_john.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastone_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93156560?searchTerm=evans%20Benjamin&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I682810 Private RA Evans {№1861} died aged 83 yrs on 15 June 1974, husband of Lillias, has an army headstone, marking his previous involvement with 5 Pioneer Battalion (1). Searching ‘Evans, RA’ on the First World War Nominal Roll on the Australian War Memorial website, Private Richard Augustus Evans [№1861] of the 5th Pioneers left Australia 26 Feb 1916 and returned 25 Jan 1919 (2). On a website of Ancestry.com, Richard Augustus Evans was born on 23 Apr 1893 to Richard Augustus Evans {1866-1929} and Eliza Anne Tanner {1874-1941}. Richard AugustusEvans married Ellen Cicely Sutter (3). If this is true, which it very likely is, then he was only 81 yrs old when he died, in his 82nd year. The Richard A Evans Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows two marriages [1] Richard Augustus Evans was married in 1892 in the Frome District to Eliza Tanner, these are the parents of the subject; [2] Richard Augustus Evans was married in 1912 in the Frome District to Ellen Cicely Sutter (4). The Ellen Evans Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Ellen Cicily Evans died in Adelaide in 1951, with nominated relative her husband Richard Augustus Evans (4). Presumably after then, he married the ‘Lillias’ mentioned on the headstone, although I cannot find such a wedding notice on Trove [which currently only goes up to 1954] 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/evans_r.a..jpg 2 http://www.awm.gov.au/people/roll-search/nominal_rolls/first_world_war/ 3 http://records.ancestry.com.au/richard_augustus_evans_records.ashx?pid=120363220 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 Marjorie Blanche Evans died aged 71 yrs on 26 April 1987; her husband Frederick Gordon Evans died aged 83 yrs on 27 Sept 1997,

parents of Robert, Keven[sic], Trevor, and Darryl (dec’d) (1), making their years of birth c1916 and c1914 respectively. There is no Frederick Gordon Evans Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Frederick Gordon Evans was born as Fredrick[sic] Gordon Evans on 10 Aug 1914 in Port Lorne SA to parents Fredrick Humphrey Vulcan Evans and Clara Fanny Simpson (2). I cannot find a marriage notice for Marjorie Blanche Evans and Frederick Gordon Evans despite searches on Trove. A search of the names ‘Marjorie Blanche’ on the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there were 8 births up to 1928 of ‘Marjorie Blanche’, with three of these within the ballpark on year of birth, especially Marjorie Blanche Turner who was born on 11 Jul 1915 in Gawler to parents William Herbert Turner and Florence Gregory (3), but even with that hypothesis, I cannot find proof she is the correct ‘Marjorie Blanche’, the other two possible are surnamed [1] Marjorie Blanche Attenborough who was born 3 Feb 1916 in the Mannum District (4); [2] Marjorie Blanche Holmes who was born 21 Nov 1916 at Williamstown SA (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/evans_marjorie_blanche_&_frederick_gordon.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I500401 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I683981 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I435328 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I543370 Ronald Richard Evans died aged 65 yrs on 12 June 1977; his wife Betty Evans died aged 57 yrs on 8 Nov 1988 (1), making their years of birth c1912 and c1931. There is no Ronald Richard Evans Marriage Index at GenealogySA, although there is a Birth Index stating that he was born in the Gilbert District in 1911 to parents John Herbert Evans and Johanna Ottilie Handke (2). On the World War Two Nominal Roll, the Service Record for Ronald Richard Evans says that he was born on 24 Dec 1911 in Riverton SA and was living there when he enlisted on 3 Mar 1941 in the Australian Army, giving as Next of Kin John Evans. Trooper Evans was discharged on 20 Feb 1942 from 9 Motor Regiment (3). The next of kin being {presumably his father} John Evans implies he was not married at the time, although that doesn’t mean he had never been married before enlisting. On a website of Ancestry.com.au, Ronald Richard Evans was born on 24 Dec 1911 to John Hebert Evans {born 1875} and Johanne Ottilie Handke {born 1885, died 1962}. Ronald Richard Evans married Betty Avis Behn {born 1930, died 1988}. He died on 12 Jul 1977 (4). Also on this website, Betty Avis Behn was born on 3 Jun 1930, married Ronald Richard Evans, and died on 8 Nov 1988 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/evans_ronald_richard_&_betty.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=702597 4 http://records.ancestry.com.au/ronald_richard_evans_records.ashx?pid=49028639 5 http://records.ancestry.com.au/betty_avis_behn_records.ashx?pid=101034740 Victor H Evans was born 14 Feb 1903, died 19 Oct 1988; Loyal K Evans was born 17 Sept 1903, and died 3 April 1991 (1).

A search on the World War Two Nominal Roll, reveals the Service Record of Dudley Clyde Evans who was born on 20 Apr 1920 at Lyndoch SA and was residing there when he enlisted in the Australian Army on 29 Sep 1942, citing his Next of Kin his father Evan Evans. Corporal Evans was discharged on 22 Mar 1946 from 13 Aust Fld Baking Pl (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/evans_clyde.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I500588 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=687837 John Everett died aged 66 yrs on __ Nov 1951 (1), although I’ve had to rely on the “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery for the details I couldn’t make out (2). The John Everett Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in the Barossa District in 1885 to parents George Everett and Mary Jane Patterson (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that John Everett was born on 17 Nov 1885 in Wasleys SA to parents George Everett and Mary Jane Patterson (4). John Everett’s death is confirmed as occurring on 26 Nov 1951: “Deaths: Everett: On November 26, at his late residence, 'Sunshine farm', Wasleys, John, only son of the late George and Mrs Everett, loved brother of Annie (Mrs Clark, dec’d), Susie (Mrs Tubel, of Gawler, Maggie and Mary, of Wasleys, aged 66 years” The Advertiser, Tuesday 27 November 1951 p16 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/everett_john.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastone_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I690192 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45777071?searchTerm=john%20everett&searchLimits= Jack Faehse died aged 9 wks on 27 Nov 1917, son of Rupert and Ruby Faehse, grandson of William Alfred Greaves who shares this headstone, as well as another grandchild Jean Dunchue, daughter of Hugh and Myrtle Dunchue (1). The Dunchue family is discussed in Note 273. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Jack Faehse was born as Rupert John William Faehse on 23 Sep 1917 at Roseworthy SA to parents Rupert Maynard Faehse {born 20 Feb 1890 Roseworthy} and Ruby Ida Kightley Greaves {born 30 May 1892 near Willaston SA} (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/faehse_jack.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I499466 John McEwen died on 7 Nov 1899, his wife Bridget McEwen died on 14 Sept 1950 (1). As we ascertained in Note 954 John McEwen was born on 7 Feb 1855 to parents John McEwen (Snr) and Ellen Condon. The John McEwen Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that John McEwen was married in Adelaide in 1889 to Bridget Hennessy (2). The ‘all McEwen’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John McEwen and Bridget Hennessy shows only two births, both in the Barossa District [1] John James Laurence McEwen b1895 {mother Bridget Henessy}; [2] Clement McEwen 1897 {mother Bridget Hennessey} (2). On his headstone, Clement McEwen died aged 70 yrs on 11 Aug 1968, husband of Daisy (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Clement McEwen was born on 2 Oct 1897 at Gawler River to parents John McEwen and Bridget Hennessey (4), but there were no Bridget Hennessy birth details at RootsWeb, nor on GenealogySA. Bridget was 83 yrs old when she died: “Deaths: McEwen: On
September 14, at her late residence, 27 Leader street, Kelmscott, Bridget, widow of John McEwen, formerly of Gawler, and loved mother of Irene (Mrs Stephens), Ellen, John, and Clem, aged 83 years” Chronicle, Thursday 21 September 1950 p43 (5), making her year of birth c1867. She also has 4 children, not just the two found at GenealogySA, maybe just the boys were officially registered for some reason. Also from the Death Notice, Ellen McEwen does not seem to have married, and as she died aged 86 yrs in 1978 (6), her year of birth is c1892. Back on RootsWeb, Ellen McEwen was born Ellen McEwin[sic] on 22 Mar 1892 at Gawler River to parents John McEwen and Bridget Hennessy (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/m-o/mcewen_john_&_bridget.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/m-o/mcewen_clement.jpg 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I114725 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93782531?searchTerm=bridget%20mcewen&searchLimits= 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/m-o/mcewen_ellen.jpg 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I419222 1063 Grace Stewart Fairey died aged 10 wks on 6 Jan 1878, the daughter of Samuel and Anne Stewart Fairey (1). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Grace Stewart Fairey was born on 19 Oct 1877 in Gawler to parents Samuel Fairey and Anne Stewart Cummings (2). Samuel Fairey was the Baptist Minister in Gawler at that stage, as shown by a letter he had published in the Bunyip of Friday 13 July 1877 p2 (3). “Veteran Baptist: Rev Samuel Fairey Dead: After a long illness the Rev Samuel Fairey died at his home, 85 First avenue, East Adelaide, this morning. Seventy eight years of age, he was one of the oldest Baptist ministers in the State and had had the longest service record. Mr Fairey was a pioneer of the Baptist faith in South Australia, and his work in founding churches was one of the outstanding features of a life full of endeavor. He was born at Huntingdonshire, England. His theological education was received at Spurgeon College, London. He was ordained and came to South Australia 56 years ago. His first station was Gawler. He was transferred to Parkside, Glen Osmond, Unley Park, Mile-End, and later St Peters. Mr Fairey was mainly responsible for the inauguration of the Baptist Jubilee Fund 40 years ago, by which the churches were kept free of debt. During his busy lifetime he occupied the office of president of the Baptist Union of South Australia. He married Miss N Cumming, of North Adelaide, 52 years ago. The widow and the following four children survived him: Messrs Frank Fairey (Millswood), Ralph Stewart Fairey (Grange), Eric Oscar Fairey (Armidale, New South Wales), and Miss Rhoda Fairey (St Peters). The burial will take place tomorrow afternoon at Glen Osmond Church of England Cemetery” News (Adelaide), Tuesday 24 August 1926 p1 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fairey_grace_stewart.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I720142 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97217646?searchTerm=fairey&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/129743336?searchTerm=Samuel%20fairey&searchLimits= 1064 Reta May Fairlie died aged 84 yrs on 1 April 1985; her husband William George Fairlie died aged 99 yrs on 14 June 1997; with a military badge against his name, they were the parents of Yvonne, Laurel and Donald (1). The William George Fairlie Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in the Yankalilla District in 1897 to parents Samuel Gibson Fairlie and Annie Maria Leak (2). Because there are 6 Fairlie names, all born around the same era, it is worth seeing if they were related. The ‘all Fairlie’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Samuel Gibson Fairlie and Annie Maria Leak shows 4 children, all born in the Yankalilla District [1] William George Fairlie b1897; [2] Daniel Keith Fairlie b1902; [3] Jean Frampton Fairlie b1903; [4] Harold Charles Fairlie b1906 (2). So the males were brothers, and if Jean was their sibling also, there is something wrong with the dates as stated. There is no William George Fairlie Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so we must look elsewhere to find Reta May’s maiden name. Back on the ‘all Fairlie’ Birth Index at GenealogySA we find 2 births {up to 1928}, both in the Barossa District, to parents William George Fairlie and Reta May Crooks: [1] Yvonne Jean Fairlie b1922; [2] Laurel Reta Fairlie b1925 (2), matching the names on the parents’ headstone. On a separate headstone, Doreen Fairlie died aged 65 yrs on 1 Jan 1972; her husband Daniel Keith Fairlie died aged 89 yrs on 8 Nov 1991, parents of Cameron and John (3). The Daniel Keith Fairlie Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1928 to Doreen Ruby Siostrom (2). On their headstone, Harold Charles Fairlie died aged 52 yrs on 11 May 1959; his wife Jean Fairlie died aged 77 yrs on 29 July 1983, parents of Ray and Ann (4). So the Jean Fairlie buried here is not the sibling of the three brothers but the wife of Harold Charles Fairlie, also named Jean. The Harold Charles Fairlie Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Kapunda District in 1930 to Jean Walpole (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that William George Fairlie was born on 12 Sep 1897 in Second Valley SA to parents Samuel Gibson Fairlie and Annie Maria Leak (5), Daniel Keith Fairlie was born in 1902 in Second Valley to the same parents (6), as was Harold Charles Fairlie born in 1906 in Second Valley to Samuel Gibson Fairlie and Annie Maria Leak (7), Reta May Crooks was born as Reata[sic] May Crook[sic] on 18 Jun 1901 in Kersbrook SA to parents George Crook and Bertha May Gangell (8), Doreen Ruby Siostrom was born on 8 Dec 1906 in Morgan SA to parents George Alfred Siostrom and Annie Martha Dohnt (9), and Jean Walpole was born on 24 Jan 1906 in Kapunda SA to parents John Bland Walpole {born 14 Feb 1875 Hamilton SA} and Mary Anderson {born 13 Jan 1883 Kapunda} (10). Unfortunately RootsWeb did not give us precise dates of birth for the 2 younger brothers Daniel Keith Fairlie and Harold Charles Fairlie. As they were the right age for WWII, a check on the World War Two Nominal Roll shows that Daniel Keith Fairlie was born on 11 Jan 1902 in Second Valley SA but was living in Willaston SA when he enlisted in the Australian Army on 17 Apr 1942 in Gawler, giving as Next of Kin his wife Doreen Fairlie. Private Fairlie was discharged on 20 Oct 1945 from 10 Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps (11). But there was no such record for his younger brother, nor was there a birth announcement in the press. There was a notice for the birth of a male Fairlie in 1906, but father’s initials were not SG. However, there was a record on the LDS website for Harold Charles Fairlie who was born on 12 Aug 1906 at Second Valley SA to parents Samuel Gibson Fairlie (born Abt 1868, Scotland, died 16 Jan 1953 Kangaroo Flat SA) and Annie Maria Leak (born 1 Apr 1868 Yankalilla SA, died 16 Dec 1940), who were married 13 Jul 1896 Glenburn SA (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fairlie_reta_may_&_william_george.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fairlie_doreen_&_daniel_keith.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fairlie_harold_charles_&_jean.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I712196 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I272447 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I272448 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I286250 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I424691

(1), the name and other inscription is hidden behind some floweres that should have been temporarily moved before taking the photo. Murray Edwin Falting was born on 7 Nov 1923 in Gawler to parents Edwin Hugo Falting and Sophie Amanda Wolf (2). “Births: Falting: On the 7th November, at Nurse Green's ('Bellicuse') Nursing Home, King-street, Gawler, to Mr and Mrs Falting, Noora— a son (Murray Edwin)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 1 December 1923 p39 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/falting_murray.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I499850 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87535425?searchTerm=Murray%20Falting&searchLimits= Henry Farley died aged 77 yrs on 16 Nov 1932; his wife Jane Farley died aged 80 yrs on 17 Jan 1933 (1), although the writing on the headstone is hard to read, so I may be mistaken, their years of birth calculated to be Henry c1855 and Jane c1853. The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says Henry Farley died in 1938, but it looks more like 1932 to me, and they say Jane died aged 86 yrs, although to me it looks more like aged 80 yrs (2). There is no Henry Farley Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but the ‘all Farley’ Birth Index shows 8 births to parents Henry Farley and Jane Jory [I’ve put mother’s name in brackets to show variations], the first 2 children in the Kapunda District, the next 6 in the Burra District [1] Sophia Farley b1879 [Jane Tory]; [2] Edith Lavina Farley b1881 [Jane Jory]; [3] James Thomas Farley b1882 [Jane Jory]; [4] Thomas Farley b1883 [Jane Porey]; [5] Mary Farley b1885 [Jane Jory]; [6] Rosa Farley b1887 [Jane Jory]; [7] Albert Henry Farley b1889 [Jane Jury]; [8] Edwin Farley 1891 [Jane Joy] (3). Neither Henry Farley nor Jane Jory is mentioned on SA Births at RootsWeb, and there is no information on either at the LDS website. Their corresponding Death Indexes at GenealogySA show that Henry Farley died in the Barossa District in 1932 (3), and Jane Farley died in the Barossa District in 1933, with nominated relative her deceased husband Henry Farley (3), both facts confirming he did not die in 1938. Searching on Trove for Death Notices shows Henry Farley: “Farley: On the 16th November, at №10 Murray street, Gawler South, Henry Farley, late of Robertstown, aged 77 years” The Advertiser, Thursday 17 November 1932 p14 (4), confirming his 1932 death. Jane Farley’s Death Notice: “Farley: On the 17th January, at her residence, 10 Murray street, Gawler South, Jane, widow of Henry Farley, aged 80 years” The Advertiser, Wednesday 18 January 1933 p8 (5), confirming her age of 80 yrs when she died. I cannot find records of their birthdates, maybe they were born elsewhere 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/farley_henry_&_jane.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35179617?searchTerm=henry%20farley&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35192520?searchTerm=jane farley&searchLimits= Walter Farnham died aged 69 yrs 8 mths on 7 Dec 1959; Ruby Myrtle Farnham died aged 87 yrs 10 mths on 2 Feb 1980; parents of Amy and May (1). Whoever transcribed this headstone on the “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has got the details reversed, and saying that it was Ruby Myrtle Farnham who died aged 69 yrs 8 mths on 7 Dec 1959, and Walter Farnham died aged 87 yrs 10 mths on 2 Feb 1980 (2). This is the wrong was around and should be as I’ve described above. From their ages, their birth dates would be Walter in April 1890 and Ruby in April 1892. The Walter Farnham Marriage Index at GenelogySA shows that he was married in the Frome District in 1913 to Ruby Myrtle Brooks (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no birth records for either Walter Farnham or Ruby Myrtle Brooks. On a genealogy website page entitled “Lehmann Hanschke - Person Sheet”, it tells us that Walter Farnham was born in SA in 1890 SA to parents Abel Farnham (1836-1906) and Elizabeth Hitch (1860-1931), and he married Ruby Myrtle Brooks in SA in 1913 (4), confirming he was born in 1890. On the LDS website, we are told that Walter Farnham was born in 1890 to parents Abel Farnham (b1845[sic] England, died 8 Aug 1906 Port Lincoln SA) and Elizabeth Hitch (born 5 Jun 1860 Highercombe SA) who had married on 13 Jul 1891 in Peterborough SA. Walter Farnham was married on 20 Mar 1913 in Peterborough to Ruby Myrtle Brooks (born 1890) (5), which if her year of birth is correct, means she was more likely 89 yrs when she died. But their precise dates of birth eludes me 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/farnham_walter_&_ruby_myrtle.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS205/PS205_016.HTM 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I255758&tree=SouthAustralia Leland Aubrey Feist died aged 75 yrs on 10 Feb 1977; husband of Adeline (1), making his year of birth c1902. Metha Adeline Feist died aged 98 yrs on 23 Sept 2005, wife of Leland (2), making her year of birth c1907. There is no Leland Aubrey Feist Marriage Index at GenealogySA, and no ‘all Feist’ Birth Index where the parents are Leland Aubrey Feist and Metha Adeline __, so they may have come from elsewhere. But no, his name was not just Leland Aubrey: “Feist— Geue: St Paul's Lutheran Church, Freeling, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Tuesday, October 30, when Meta[sic] Adeline, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Fred Geue, of Sheaoak Log, was married to Sylvester Leland Aubrey, only son of Mr and Mrs JG Feist, of Freeling. ... ” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 17 November 1928 p74 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Sylvester Leland Aubrey Feist was born on 29 Sep 1901 in Freeling SA to parents Gustav Johannis Feist and Emma Bertha Augusta Rauth (4), and Metha Adeline Geue was born on 21 Apr 1907 in Shea-Oak Log SA to parents Friedrick Gottfried Geue and Hulda Metha Koch (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/feist_leland_aubrey.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/feist_metha_adeline.jpg 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87565549?searchTerm=%22Leland%20Aubrey%22%20Feist&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I713334 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I512270 Lewis Bert Felstead died aged 52 yrs on 5 July 1979, father of Brett (1), making his year of birth c1927. There is no mention of a spouse, just a son, so maybe he was separated from his wife. The only mention of Lewis Felstead at GenealogySA is in their ‘Newspaper Death Notices’ section where they say that there was a Lewis Bert Felstead Death Notice in the Advertiser in 1979 (2). There is no Lewis Felstead at RootsWeb nor on GenealogySA. An Ancestry.com website “All Australia, Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980 results for Bert Felstead” shows Lewis Bert Felstead in the Higinbotham District Vic in 1949, and on 1954 Census was in the Isaacs District Vic (3), so he most likely came from Victoria, which would explain the lack of SA records. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/felstead_lewis_bert.jpg

There is no William Patrick Fennescey Marriage Index at GenealogySA, and his wife’s birth in c1917 precludes find children born to William Patrick Fennescey and Sheila Mary Colleen __, with the current 1928 cut off for birth details on genealogy websites. Fortunately by searching using Trove, there was a Marriage Notice: “Weddings: The marriage will be celebrated at 9 am on February 18 at St Francis Xavier's Cathedral, Wakefield street, of Sheila Colleen Molloy, youngest daughter of Mrs James Molloy, of Roseworthy, and the late Mr Molloy, with William P Fennescey, only son of the late Mr and Mrs Patrick Fennescey, of Clinton Centre” The Advertiser, Tuesday 11 February 1947 p10 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that William Patrick Fennescey was born on 19 Mar 1905 in Clinton Centre SA to parents Patrick Fennescey and Ann Victory (3), and Sheila Mary Colleen Molloy was born on 21 Jan 1917 in Gawler to parents James Molloy and Mary Elizabeth Fitzpatrick (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fennescey_william_patrick_&_sheila_mary_colleen.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/74639349?searchTerm=William%20Fennescey&searchLimits= 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I714059 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I596735 Barbara Jean (Jean) Fenton was born in 1935, and died on 27 Nov 2007, wife of John, and there are her children’s names plus her full birth date on the headstone as well (1), but these are obscured by some floral tributes not temporarily moved before taking the photo!!!! In an attempt to find her maiden name: “Births: Lang: On the 19th November, at 'Clifton', to Mr and Mrs Wm J Lang, of Norwood, a daughter (Barbara Jean), thanking Dr LL Davey and Sister Goldney” The Advertiser, Friday 22 November 1935 p22 (2). This is the only ‘Barbara Jean’ with a Birth Notice in SA for 1937, so it is possible that Barbara Jean Lang married John Fenton, but we’d need some corroboration of this, as this is based on speculation. Looking at the headstone, what you can see of the start of the birth date does not look like a ‘19’. On the Ryerson Index for death notices, on a website called “MateSpotter.com” they say there was a notice for Jean Fenton who died aged 73 yrs on 27 Nov 2007 at Gawler Health Service in the Adelaide Advertiser (3). If so, she must really have been in her 73rd year. I wish they’d moved those flowers 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fenton_barbara_jean.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/74149758?searchTerm=%22barbara%20jean%22&searchLimits= 3 http://www.matespotter.com/search/Jean-Fenton/ Johanne Ida Antonia Fiedler was born __ Sept 1887 and died aged 70 yrs on 26 Dec 1957; Heinrich Theodore Fiedler died aged 82 yrs on 18 Aug 1966 (1). I have had to rely a little on the information on the “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2), as the headstone is quite hard to read, but the surname on the headstone is Fiedler, not Fielder. The ‘all Fiedler’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Heinrich Theodor Fiedler was married in the Barossa District in 1913 to Johanne Ida Antonie Zeunert (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Heinrich Theodor Fiedler was born on 14 Sep 1885 in Bethel SA to parents August Fiedler and Hedwig Modistag (4), and Johanne Ida Antonie Zeunert was born on 17 Sep 1887 in Seppeltsfield SA to parents Johann Gottlieb Zeunert and Johanna Lydia Otto (5). On a genealogy website, we see that Heinrich Theodor Fiedler was born 14 Sep 1885 near Bethel SA to parents Gottlieb Julius August Fiedler (20 Nov 1855 - 5 Jan 1928) and Hedwig Modistach (14 Oct 1851 - 23 Sep 1940). Johanna Ida Antonie Zeunert was born 17 Sep 1887 at Seppeltsfield SA to parents Johann Gottlieb Zeunert (28 Feb 1850 - 3 Apr 1902) and Anna Lydia Otto (23 Jul 1854 - 8 Aug 1930). Heinrich Theodor Fiedler and Johanna Ida Antonie Zeunert were married 3 Apr 1913 at Daveyston SA (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fielder_johanne_ida_antonia_&_heinrich_theodore.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I723945 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I196596 6 http://graememoad.com/Family/WC59/WC59_193.HTM Ernst Linke Fietz died aged 70 yrs on 28 March 1984, husband of Hilda Magdalene, father of David, Anna, Markus, Christine, Sharon and Michael (1), making his year of birth c1914. There is no Ernst Linke Fietz Marriage Index at GenealogySA, although the corresponding Birth Index says that he was born in the Angaston District in 1913 to parents Johannes Benjamin Fietz and Clara Alwine Linke (2). There is no Ernst Linke Fietz Marriage Index at GenealogySA, although the corresponding Birth Index says that he was born in the Angaston District in 1913 to parents Johannes Benjamin Fietz and Clara Alwine Linke (2). Ernst Linke Fietz was in 1951 the keeper of a hotel in Williamstown: “Fined on taxs count ... for failure to furnish income tax returns for eight years, 1942 to 1949. ... For a similar offence in respect of the same period Ernest Linke Fietz, hotel keeper, of Williamstown, was fined £7/10/.” News (Adelaide), Wednesday 25 July 1951 p4 (2). Ernst Linke Fietz was married to Ve Kendal {possibly not in SA} and they had a son David: “Births: Fietz (nee Ve Kendal): September 14 at Hutchison[sic] hospital Gawler, to Mr and Mrs Ernst L Fietz, Williamstown, South Australia, a son (David Kendal)” The Sydney Morning Herald, Thursday 5 October 1939 p8 (3), but his first wife Vera M nee Kendal died in 1951: “Deaths: Fietz (Kendal): On May 6 (suddenly) at Williamstown SA, Vera M (late of Wagga and Mildura), loving wife of Ernest[sic] Fietz and mother of David (Williamstown Hotel SA)” The Argus (Melbourne), Thursday 17 May 1951 p12 (4). Then he becomes engaged to Hilda M Wurst in 1953: “Engagement: Wurst—Fietz: The engagement is announced of Hilda M, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs WF Wurst, of Laura, SA, to Ernst L Fietz, of Hermannsburg NT” The Advertiser, Wednesday 19 August 1953 p20 (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Hilda Magdalene Wurst was born on 18 Aug 1919 in Laura SA to parents Wilhelm Friedrich Wurst and Anna Lydia Christiana Pech (6), and Ernst Linke Fietz was born on 7 Apr 1913 in Tanunda SA to parents Johannes Benjamin Fietz and Clara Alwine Linke (7). In a note published by the South Australian Museum Archives on the South Australian Museum website, 2009 “Provenance” Hilda Magdalene Fietz (nee Wurst) b1919, it says that “From 1940 to 1953 Hilda Magdalene Fiezt (nee Wurst) was the sole teacher at Hermannsburg. She was able to teach up to 60 students from year levels 1-6 in both English and Arrernte. Her subjects included English, Mathematics and Bible Study. In the year 1954 she came to marry Ernst Linke Fietz, and together they had children Anna Pauline Williams (nee Fietz), Markus Ernst Fietz, Christine Helen Schubert (nee Fietz), Sharon Ruth Fietz and Michael James Fietz” (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fietz_ernst_linke.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/130331284?searchTerm=Ernst%20Linke%20Fietz&searchLimits= 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17634132?searchTerm=Ernst%20Fietz%20Hilda&searchLimits=

The Frank Filsell Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1925, Frank Bevis Simpson Filsell married Ivy Doris Milton (2), and the corresponding Birth Index shows that Frank Bevis Simpson Filsell was born in Adelaide in 1903 to unnamed father and mother Eleanor Frances Filsell (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Frank Bevis Simpson Filsell was born on 29 Jun 1903 in Adelaide with father not recorded and mother Eleanor Frances Filsell (3), and Ivy Doris Milton was born on 15 Jan 1906 in Willaston SA to parents Richard Francis Milton and Edith Maria Lawler (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/filsell_ivy_doris_&_frank_b.s..jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I713594 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I255351 Nicholas James Myles (Tim) Filsell was born on 3 April 1918 and died 28 June 2006, husband of Kathleen Phyllis, father of Roger and Anne, Barry and Val, Desmond and Jan (1). Kathleen Phyllis Filsell was born on 13 Jan 1919 and died 5 May 1993, wife of Nicholas Myles (Tim) etc (2). There is no Nicholas James Myles Marriage Index at GenealogySA but the corresponding Birth Index shows that Nicholas James Myles Filsell was born in the Barossa District in 1918 to parents Edwin Charles Filsell and Clara Frances Ellen Barnes (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there were 32 SA births up to 1928 with the Christian names ‘Kathleen Phyllis’, but none born on 13 Jan 1919. However, it at least does show that Nicholas James Myles Filsell was born on 3 Apr 1918 in Gawler to parents Edwin Charles Filsell and Clara Frances Ellen Barnes (4), confirming the birthdate on his headstone. The World War Two Nominal Roll shows the Service Record Nicholas Miles[sic] Filsell who was born in Gawler on 3 Apr 1918 and was living in Lyndoch when he enlisted on 20 Sep 1940 in Lyndoch in the Australian Army, citing as next of kin his father E Filsell. Private Filsell was discharged on 3 Jul 1943 from 10 Battalion (4). Still seeking the maiden name of Kathleen Phyllis Filsell we turn to Trove to seek any newspaper announcements: “Engagements: Sweeney—Filsell: The engagement has been announced of Kathleen, of Renmark, eldest daughter of Mr and S Sweeney of Gawler, to Nicholas (Tim), youngest son of Mrs and late Mr EC Filsell, of Lyndoch” The Advertiser, Saturday 31 January 1942 p12 (5). Back on RootsWeb, we find that Kathleen Phyllis Sweeney was actually born Phylis[sic] Kathleen Sweeney on 13 Jan 1919 in Gawler to parents Sidney Alfred Sweeney and Alma Kathleen Gaynes (6), confirming her date of birth on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/filsell_nicholas_james_myles.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/filsell_kathleen_phyllis.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=720945 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45749735?searchTerm=Filsell%20Kathleen%20Nicholas&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I670385 Ida Louisa Fletcher died aged 54 yrs (in her 55th year) on 21 Feb 1921; Caleb Fletcher died aged 64 yrs on 19 Feb 1924 (1). The Caleb Fletcher Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Caleb Fletcher was married in the Barossa District in 1891 to Ida Reinke (2). The ‘all Fletcher’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Caleb Fletcher and Ida Louisa Reinke shows 4 children, all born in Adelaide, [1] Elsie Fletcher b1892; [2] Myrtle Fletcher b1892; [3] Ivy Lumienia Fletcher b1898; [4] Edith Fletcher b1903. Worthy of a note is that there also was born a Lottie Fletcher in Adelaide in 1906 to parents Caleb Fletcher and Ellen Burgin (2), although whether there are 2 Caleb Fletchers remains to be seen. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Caleb Fletcher was born on 21 Mar 1859 in Gawler Plains (now Smithfield) SA to parents George Fletcher and Ellen Burgin (3), and Ida Louisa Reinke was born Ida Louisa Helena Reinke on 23 Aug 1866 at Gawler River SA to parents Carl Reinke and Maria Radder (4). Caleb Fletcher’s birth on 21 March 1859 confirms that he was 64 yrs years old (in his 65th year) when he died on 19 Feb 1924. There is information on the LDS website may explain the mystery of the two Caleb Fletchers. Caleb Fletcher was born on 21 Mar 1859 at Gawler Plains SA to parents George Fletcher (born 1823 Norfolk, England, died 27 Aug 1917 Salisbury SA) and Ellen Burgoyne (born 1819 Ansley Swanwick, Derbyshire, England, died 27 Dec 1887 Gawler Plains), who had married on 5 Nov 1845 in England. Caleb Fletcher aged 31 yrs was married on 31 Dec 1891 at Buchsfelde SA to Ida Louisa Helena Reinke aged 25 yrs, and they had the following children [1] Myrtle Fletcher born 26 Sep 1892 Salisbury, died 27 Sep 1892 Salisbury; [2] Elsie Fletcher born 26 Sep 1892 Salisbury; [3] Ivy Lumienia Fletcher born 24 Jul 1898 Salisbury, died 27 Jul 1898 Salisbury; [4] Edith Fletcher born 28 Aug 1903 Salisbury (5). I believe that Caleb Fletcher and Ida Reinke had a 5th child after the LDS cut-off date. This was Lottie Fletcher b1906 in Adelaide to parents Caleb Fletcher and Ellen Burgin, as above, but when Caleb was asked the mother’s name, he gave his mother’s name, not his wife’s name. Caleb’s mother was Ellen Burgoyne which could easily be spelt “Burgin” if you rely on hearing it. Still on the LDS website, Ida Louisa Helena Reinke was born on 23 Aug 1866 at Gawler River SA to parents Johann Carl Gottlieb Reinke (born 17 Mar 1826 Doberan, Mecklenberg, Prussia, died 23 May 1907 Buchsfelde SA) and Marie Frederica Johanna Radder (born 18 Oct 1828 Hohenfelde, Germany, died 31 Mar 1907 Gawler River) who had married before 1851 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fletcher_ida_louisa_&_caleb.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I714443 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I224219 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I54939&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I84272&tree=SouthAustralia Robert Flett died aged 72 ys on 11 Feb 1878; his wife Margaret Flett died aged 79 yrs on 21 July 1879; John Carrick Flett died aged 42 yrs on 26 June 1880; Thomas Flett died aged 71 yrs on 17 Jan 1908; Margaret Carrick Flett died aged 92 yrs on 2 June 1933 (1). There is no relevant Robert Flett Marriage Index at GenealogySA, nor are there records on the ‘all Flett’ Birth Index of children born to Robert Flett and Margaret __. This leads to a conclusion that most likely this family {if the younger Fletts buried here are children of the older couple} that this family arrived in SA already born. Unfortunately there is no Robert Flett file on the LDS website. “Deaths: Flett: On the 11th February, at Roseworthy, Mr Robert Flett, aged 72 years” South Australian Register, Wednesday 13 February 1878 p4 (2). “Deaths: Flett: On the 21st July, at Roseworthy, Margaret, relict of the late Robert Flett, aged 79 years” South Australian Register, Thursday 24 July 1879
p4 (3). I could not find a more complete obituary for Robert or Margaret. “Deaths: Flett. On the 17th January, at his residence, Roseworthy, suddenly, Thomas Flett, aged 71 years, a colonist of 53 years” The Register (Adelaide), Wednesday 22 January 1908 p10 (4). So the Flett family seem to have arrived in SA in the mid 1850s. “Roseworthy: January l8: Deep regret was expressed throughout the district last night when it became known that Mr Thomas Flett had died suddenly after three days' illness. He was the eldest son of the late Mr Robert Flett, who started farming here over 50 years ago on arriving from Kirkwell, Scotland, with his family of two sons and two daughters, of whom the youngest daughter survives. The deceased was unmarried, and over 71 years of age. The funeral was largely attended on Saturday at the Willaston Cemetery. The Rev W Gray (Presbyterian) officiated at the grave” The Advertiser, Wednesday 22 January 1908 p9 (5). “Deaths: Flett: On the 2nd June, at Cambridge terrace, Unley, Margaret Garrioch[sic] Flett, late of Roseworthy, in her 92nd year” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 8 June 1933 p39 (6). “Gawler, June 25. John Flett, aged 40, a farmer, and an old resident of Roseworthy, went to bed in his usual health on Thursday evening, and was found dead this morning Dr Popham says the cause of death was apoplexy. An inquest will probably be held” The South Australian Advertiser, Saturday 26 June 1880 p5 (7). “Deaths: Flett: On the 25th June, at his residence, Roseworthy, suddenly, John G, second son of the late Robert and Margaret Flett, aged 42 years” South Australian Register, Monday 28 June 1880 p4 (8). On a general Google search for Robert Flett, I came across the International Genealogical Index (R) - 1994 Edition (Version 3.06) which showed “Flett, births & baptisms, Orkney, Caithness & Shetland”. Here they had a Robert Flett who was christened on 11 Aug 1805 at Kirkwall and St Ola, Orkney, Scotland with parents Thomas Flett and Jean Hutchison (9). This is as close as I got to finding any dates of birth for the Flett family. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/eg/flett_robert,_margaret,_john_carrick,_thomas_&_margaret_carrick.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/40793727?searchTerm=robert flett&searchLimits= 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43091430?searchTerm=robert flett&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/56974617?searchTerm=thomas flett&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5122211?searchTerm=thomas%20flett&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90886749?searchTerm=margaret%20flett&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30803496?searchTerm=john flett&searchLimits= 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43100116?searchTerm=john flett&searchLimits= 9 http://www.cursiter.com/txt-exe-files/Flett.txt 1078 Louisa Fox died aged 78 yrs on 19 Jan 1927; Augustus (Alf) Fox died aged 32 yrs on 14 Feb 1883 (1). Also on the same headstone (with an extra photo of their names) are Bessie Maud Fox who died aged 85 yrs on 17 May 1967; and James Edgar Fox who died aged 88 yrs on 15 Oct 1963 (2). The ‘all Fox’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Augustus Fox shows 2 births, both in the Port Gawler District to Augustus Fox and Louisa Leach [1] Bessie Maud Fox b1877; [2] Ernest Alfred Fox b1882 (3), but no James Edgar Fox was found on this Birth Index. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Bessie Maud Fox was born on 16 Aug 1877 at Goose Island, Gawler to parents Augustus Fox and Louisa Leach (4). On an Ancestry.com website, Louisa Leach was born in East Chinnock, Somerset, England in 1849 to parents Robert Leach and Ann Taylor. Louisa married Augustus Fox (5). On a Website dedicated to the descendants of Thomas Taylor b1779. His daughter Ann Taylor (born Abt 1817, died 25 Jul 1885) was married to Robert Leach (born Abt 1817, died 8 Nov 1883). The children of Ann Taylor and Robert Leach were [1] Anna Maria Taylor Leach who married Henry Westcott born Abt 1831; [2] John R Leach born Abt 1842; [3] Julia Taylor Leach born Jun 1843, died 8 Nov 1908 married Abraham Partridge; [4] Betsy or Bessie Taylor Leach born Abt 1845, died 18 Jun 1905 married William Dawe Taylor born Abt 1845; [5] Robert Leach born Sep 1846 married Mary A __ born Abt 1851; [6] Louisa Leach born Sep 1848, died 19 Jan 1927 was married to Augustus Fox born Jan 1851, died 13 Feb 1883. The children of Louisa Leach and Augustus Fox were [1] Laura Melina Fox born Dec 1873, died 22 Aug 1943; married Edwin Herbert Quarton (born Mar 1874, died 1 Mar 1964); [2] James Edgar Fox born Sep 1875, died 15 Oct 1963; [3] Bessie Maud Fox born 16 Aug 1877, died 17 May 1963; [4] Ernest Alfred Fox born14 Jun 1882, died 3 Aug 1951, married Olive Margaret (Maggie) Jubilletty Mildren (born 6 Aug 1891, died 4 Feb 1971) (6). So despite what the headstone says, Bessie Maud Fox died in 1963, not in 1967. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fox_louisa_&_augustus_%28alf%29.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fox_bessie_maud_&_james_edgar.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I720077 5 http://records.ancestry.com.au/louisa_leach_records.ashx?pid=72448574 6 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/l/e/w/John-T-Lewis/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0967.html 1079 Lorys Grace Fox was born in 1924 and died in 1984, mother of Charles, Sharon, Peta, Jan and Mary; Peta Fox was born in 1953 and died in 1998; Brad Fox {Dad} was born in 1924 and died in 2000 (1). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the only birth in SA up to 1928 of a child named Lorys Grace was Lorys Grace Blencowe who was born on 9 Jun 1924 in Willaston SA to parents Henry Hurtle Blencowe and Edith Grace Walter (2), but there is no Brad Fox birth at RootsWeb. To confirm this: “Births: Blencowe: On the 9th June, at Sister Smith's Private Hospital, Willaston, to Mr and Mrs HH Blencowe, of One Tree Hill— a daughter (Lorys Grace)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 28 June 1924 p39 (3). In an attempt to link Blencowe and Fox, and to find Brad’s full name, I found a series of Birth Notices “Births: Fox (nee Blencowe): On January 3, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Brandon and Lorys—a bonny son” The Advertiser, Wednesday 5 January 1949 p 12 (4), no doubt this would be Charles Fox, the first child on Lorys Grace Fox’s headstone. Next comes Sandra: “Births: Fox (nee Blencowe): On March 19, to Lorys and Brandon, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler —a daughter (Sharon Jo)” The Advertiser, Tuesday 28 March 1950 p18 (5). The next should be (and is) Peta: “Births: Fox: On March 2, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Lorys and Brandon — a daughter (Peta Elizabeth)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 12 March 1953 p34 (6). On a website called “OneGreatFamily” Brandon Joseph Fox was born 19 Aug 1922 in Bendigo Vic and died in 2000 in Point Victoria. He was married to Lorys Grace Blencowe (7). This means that the headstone for “Brad” born in 1924 is quite approximate and should be “Bradon” born in 1922. I have no access to find any of the exact dates of death, but the Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser shows one for Lorys Grace Fox nee Glencowe [sic] on 22 Nov 1984; and one for Branden[sic] Joseph (Brad) Fox on 2 June 2000 (8), but not one for Peta Elizabeth Fox. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fox_lorys_grace,_peta_&_brad.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I446871 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/89365654?searchTerm=%22Lorys%20Grace%22%20Blencowe&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43798520?searchTerm=Blencowe%20Fox&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/50201026?searchTerm=Blencowe%20Fox&searchLimits=

Also on this headstone are Stefano Culot who died aged 70 yrs on 19 Sept 1979; and his wife Ezelinda who died aged 71 yrs on 27 Feb 1986 (1). It is unclear whether Stefano Culot are first names with surname Francesca, or Culot is his surname [but see Note 1102 for the Culot family]. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there were no SA births up to 1928 with the surname Francesca. The Antonio Francesca Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when he died in Adelaide in 1970, the nominated relative was his wife Maria Gabralla Francesca (2), but there is no corresponding Marriage Index. Presumably they were married before they came to SA. A search on the National Archives of Australia website shows that Antonio Francesca was born in 1933 in Italy and arrived in Melbourne aboard the Australia on 6 January 1961 (3), but they did not give the actual date of birth 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/francesca_antonio.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/ItemsListing.aspx Clarice May Francis was born in 1913 and died in 1984 (1), with no other information on the headstone. There is no Clarice Francis Birth, Marriage nor Death Indexes at GenealogySA, and there is no mention of her on the Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there were 55 births in SA up to 1928 with first names that include Clarice and May, but only one who was born in 1913: Clarice May Dahlitz was born on 29 Aug 1913 nr Roseworthy SA to parents Ludwig Christian Dahlitz [born 21 July 1872 near Lyndoch Valley SA] and Matilda Holmes {born 12 Jan 1886 in Williamstown SA} (2). But the Clarice May Dahlitz Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows her marriage in the Talunga District in 1936 to Leslie Robert Crook (3), and the Leslie Robert Crook search of GenealogySA’s “Newspaper Death Notices” shows his death notice was in the Advertiser in 1993 (3). Was Clarice May Francis born outside SA and remained unmarried, or did Clarice May Crook nee Dahlitz separate from Leslie Robert Crook some time after her marriage and ultimately marry a man surnamed Francis? This latter hypothesis suddenly seems more likely by this newspaper notice: “Supreme Court: Civil Sittings: Before Mr Justice Mayo: Divorces Granted: His Honor granted orders nisi for divorce to the plaintiffs in the following undefended actions yesterday: Clarice May Crook, of Cleland avenue, Dulwlch, against Leslie Robert Crook, of Angas street, Adelaide, on the ground of .....” The Advertiser, Thursday 21 November 1946 p5 (4). But the final link to a marriage with Mr Francis remains elusive, presumably it occurred after 1954 when my sources cut out. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/francis_clarice_may.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I481557 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35767818?searchTerm=%22Leslie%20Robert%20%22Crook&searchLimits= Joyce Montgomery Freak was born on 14 Nov 1942, and died 14 March 1999 {aged 56 yrs}, wife of Claude, mother of Sharon and Michael (1). Claude and Ethel Winifred Freak {see Note 356} had a son also named Claude Freak who would be of correct age to be married to Joyce Montgomery Freak, but the marriage notice would be way too recent to find in old newspapers which on Trove only go up till 1954. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/freak_joyce_montgomery.jpg This Freeman family headstone says that Harry Allen Freeman died on 15 July 1955, his wife Teresa Freeman died on 21 Dec 1960; their son Harold Freeman died in 1979 (1), but unfortunately, an empty vase obscures the rest of Harold’s date of demise (1). To check for full names we can search the Harry Freeman Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Port Gawler District in 1878, Harry Allen Freeman was born to parents Harry Freeman and Fanny Stickley (2), and the Harry Freeman Marriage Index shows that in the Barossa District in 1903, Harry Allen Freeman was married to Teresa O’Donohue (2). The Harold Freeman Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1908 in the Port Gawler District, Harold James Allan Freeman was born to parents Harry Allan Freeman and Teresa O’Donohue (2), and the Teresa O’Donohue Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that in Adelaide in 1894, Teresa Maria Ann O’Donohue was born to parents James O’Donohue and Honora Ryan (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Harry Allen Freeman was born on 11 Aug 1878 in Bassett Town SA to parents Harry Freeman and Fanny Stickley (3), Harold James Allan Freeman was born on 28 Jan 1908 in Gawler SA to parents Harry Allan Freeman and Teresa O’Donohue (4), and Teresa O’Donohue was born Teresa Maria Ann O’Donohue on 7 May 1894 in Adelaide to parents James O’Donohue and Honora Ryan (5). As we found above, the parents of Harry Allen Freeman were Harry Freeman and Fanny Stickley. According to data found on the LDS website, Henry {nicknamed Harry} Freeman was born 1 July 1842, christened on 7 Aug 1842 at Winfrith Newburgh, Dorset, England, and died 30 Mar 1908 in Gawler SA.

Her parents were Thomas Causby (born 18 Jun 1826 Nether Winchendon, Buckinghamshire, England, died 9 Dec 1883 Gawler) and Martha Warner (born 1827 England, died 16 Sep 1869 Gawler). Rosetta Causby was married on 19 Sep 1885 in Gawler to William Robert Freeman, and together they had at least 8 children, all born in Gawler [1] Elder May Freeman born 13 Feb 1886; [2] Horace William Freeman born 20 Apr 1887; [3] William

Ruth Emma Attwell was married aged 20 yrs on 23 Dec 1904 in Gawler to Frank Thomas Freeman aged 22 yrs (9). After all this, to find the actual date of death for Harold James Allan Freeman it will be necessary to go to the cemetery at look behind the vase! 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/freeman_harry_allen,_teresa_&_harold.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I720415 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I507578 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I161263 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I149986&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F45061&tree=SouthAustralia 8 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I150128&tree=SouthAustralia 9 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I150096&tree=SouthAustralia 1084 Annie Freeman died aged 11 yrs on 26 May 1872; Harriet Ann Catherine Freeman died aged 30 yrs in March 1873; Thomas Freeman died aged 75 yrs on 14 Jan 1893; Mary Freeman died aged 71 yrs on 31 Aug 1893 (1). We met Thomas Freeman (born 15 Aug 1818 Sopley, Dorset, England, died on 14 Jan 1893 Gawler) and Mary Allen (christened on 29 Jul 1822 Winfrith Newburgh UK, died 21 Aug 1893 Gawler), who had married on 3 Jul 1841 at Winfrith Newburgh in Note 1083. According to the LDS data, Thomas Freeman’s parents were Thomas Freeman and Elizabeth Pollard who had married before 1816 in England. Thomas Freeman arrived in SA in 1864 aboard the Rockliffe, and was a labourer and gardener who lived in Gawler. He was married aged 23 yrs on 3 July 1841 in the UK to Mary Allen aged 19 yrs, who was born to parents Joseph Allen and Eleanor Belly. The children of Thomas Freeman and Mary Allen, all born in Winfrith Newburgh, were [1] Henry Freeman baptised 7 Aug 1842, died 30 Mar 1908 Gawler; [2] Robert Freeman baptised 7 Jun 1846, died 1930 SA; [3] Mary Boord nee Freeman born 5 May 1850, Dorset, died 8 Aug 1908, Forestville SA; [4] Thomas Freeman born 1852, died ?1953; [5] Isaac Freeman baptised 6 Jun 1853, died 1854 Winfrith Newburgh; [6] Ellen Johnson nee Freeman born 1853, died 1926 SA; [7] Jane Bailey nee Freeman baptised 28 Mar 1858, died 1933 SA; [8] Ann Freeman baptised 30 Dec 1860, died 26 May 1872 Gawler; [9] Kate Wellman nee Freeman born 1861 (2). The ‘all Freeman’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Robert Freeman was married in Adelaide in 1867 to Harriett Catherine Tidy (3). Back on the LDS website, Robert Freeman was born 10 May 1846, christened on 7 Jun 1846 in Winfrith Newburgh, Dorset, England, and died on 21 Aug 1930 Gawler. Robert Freeman arrived in SA in 1864 aboard the Rockliffe and was a labourer who had resided in Gawler and Caltowie. Robert Freeman’s first marriage was on 9 Sep 1867 in Adelaide to Harriet Ann Catherine Tidey (born 1842 to father Henry Tidey, and she died on 29 Mar 1873 Gawler Plains SA). The children of Robert Freeman and Harriet Ann Catherine Tidey were [1] Charlotte Mary Freeman born 24 Sep 1868 Gawler; [2] Ethel Ellen Freeman born 20 Jan 1871 Gawler Plains. Robert Freeman, widower aged 29 yrs was then married on 8 May 1876 at Gawler Plains to Sarah Bond aged 25 yrs (born 1851, died 3 Nov 1931 in Gawler). The children of Robert Freeman and Sarah Bond, all born in Gawler, were [3] Florence Bond Freeman born 29 Aug 1878, died 29 Dec 1912 Gawler South; [4] Amelia Annie Freeman born May 1880, died 13 Nov 1911 Gawler; [5] Ellenor Louisa Freeman born 19 Nov 1882; [6] Winifred Sarah Freeman born 18 Dec 1884, died 1924; [7] Harold Robert Freeman born 27 Nov 1886; [8] Ida Gertrude Freeman born 12 Jan 1891,died 1968 (4). On the Town of Gawler website, Annie Freeman aged 12 yrs from Gawler died on 26 May 1872 and was buried on 27 May 1872 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 20 B 1, with Rev RS Casely officiating (5). Harriet Ann Catherine Freeman from Gawler was buried on 30 March 1873 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 19 B 1, with Rev RS Casely officiating (6). Robert Freeman aged 84 yrs from Gawler South was buried on 23/08/1930 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 38 D 4, with Rev Smith officiating (7), and Sarah Freeman aged 80 yrs from Gawler South was buried on 4 Nov 1931 in Willaston Cemetery re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 38 D 4, with Rev A Brown officiating (8). Harriet Freeman’s death is confirmed to be on the 29 March 1873: ”Freeman: On the 29th March, near Gawler, Harriet Ann Catherine, wife of Robert Freeman, and daughter of Henry and Harriet Tidy, late of Nairne, aged 30“ South Australian Register, Tuesday 1 April 1873 p4 (9). On the 26th May, at Gawler, Annie, daughter of Thomas and Mary Freeman, aged eleven years, of bronchitis and diphtheria” Bunyip, Saturday 1 June 1872 p3 (10). Robert Freeman’s Obituary is full of information and local history, and is worth saving here in its entirety: “The late Mr Robert Freeman: Employed in Murray street, Gawler, for over half a century was the unique experience of the late Mr Robert Freeman, of Gawler South, who died in the Hutchinson Hospital on August 21. Mr Freeman was born on May 10, 1846 at Winfreth, Dorsetshire, England, and came to South Australia on December 21, 1864, making his passage in the ship Rockcleft. He at once went into the country and secured employment with Mr John Riggs, of Gawler Plains, Edward Clements and Swann & Ivett. After a time he went to Caltowie, and in the years 1874-5 was engaged carting wheat to Port Pirie before the railway went to that port. Returning to Gawler in Sept 1875, he commenced work for the late Mr James Harris, and so amicable were the conditions that he remained in service with the firm until they went out of business in 1924, the property being disposed of to the Eudunda Farmers' Cooperative Society. Mr Freeman continued with the new firm until December 1929, when he retired, having served faithfully over the long period of 54 years. He was a colonist of 66 years' standing. Mr Freeman was not an associate of public life, but he made it his rule of living to faithfully serve his time and generation, and of the hundreds of customers who passed through the business life of James Harris & Sons there was not one who felt ill of the treatment received from this old employee. He was a foundation member of the Tod street Methodist Church, and the oldest seat-holder; and in Lodge work was associated with the Manchester Unity and Athenian Lodges of Oddfellowship. Mr Freeman, who was the second son of the late Mr Thomas Freeman, married twice. His first wife, in 1866, was Miss Harriet Tidy, eldest daughter of the late Mr Henry Tidy, of Enfield, from whom was born two children, the late Mrs J Ford, and Mrs D McEwin of Torrensville. After a Iapse of years, Mr Freeman married again, in 1876, his choice being Miss Sarah Bond (survives) who bore him six children — Mrs FB Matchoss, Miss AA Freeman and Mrs SB Withers, of Gawler (these three predeceasing the father), Mrs L Bukac, of Anzac Highway; Mr Harold R Freeman, of Sydney, and Mrs GI Bradford, of Gawler. There are eleven grandchildren and one great grandchild. Mr Freeman's sisters are Mrs Thomas Bailey of Gawler, and Mrs S Wellman, Semaphore” Bunyip, Friday 29 August 1930 p7 (11). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/eg/freeman_annie,_harriet_ann_catherine,_thomas_&_mary.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I124941&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I149965&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29315 6 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29355

The Ernest Edward Freeman Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1920 to Doris Irene Mabel Bryan (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Ernest Edward Freeman was born on 4 Mar 1899 in Gawler to parents William Robert Freeman and Rositta[sic] Causby (3), and Doris Irene Mabel Bryan was born on 21 Mar 1902 in Paskeville SA to parents Patrick Joseph Bryan and Mary Guerin (4). The ‘all Freeman’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Ernest Edward Freeman and Doris Irene Mabel Bryan reveals only one child born (at least up until 1928), [1] Ronald Douglas Freeman was born in the Barossa District in 1920 (2). The ‘all Freeman’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Ernest Edward Freeman and Doris Irene Mabel Bryan reveals only one child born (at least up until 1928), [1] Ronald Douglas Freeman was born in the Barossa District in 1920 (2), matching the name on their headstone. On his own headstone Ronald Douglas Freeman was born on 18 Dec 1920, and died 28 Sept 1988, husband of Mary Elva Freeman (5). Ernest Edward Freeman is not included amongst the 8 known offspring of William Robert Freeman and Rositta Causby as listed in Note 1083, which may just be an oversight on behalf of the good folk at LDS, who may have been confused by the spelling of mother’s first name (Rositta, not Rosetta). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/freeman_ernest_edward_&_doris_irene.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I712708 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I324779 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/freeman_ronald_douglas.jpg Keith Freeman was born on 1 Feb 1890 and died on 15 March 1973 (1), making him aged 83 yrs old when he died. The Keith Freeman Birth Index at GenealogySA shows 3 births in SA up to 1928 of a Keith Freeman, all with middle names, and none were born in 1890 (2). In fact, the LDS website tells us that his name was really Horace Keith Freeman, who was born on 1 Feb 1890 in Calca SA to parents Frederick William Freeman (born on 2 Dec 1854 aboard the Marian) and Mina Letitia Golley (born 5 May 1863 Hindmarsh Island SA), who had married on 18 Mar 1884 nr Bramfield SA (3). According to GenealogySA and LDS, he does not appear to have married. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/freeman_keith.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I150022&tree=SouthAustralia Ethel Freeman died aged 40 yrs on 26 Nov 1933, mother of Jean; her husband Frank Thomas Freeman died aged 79 yrs on 17 Sept 1972 (1). We learned in Note 1083 Frank Thomas Freeman was born on 26 Jan 1893 to parents William Robert Freeman and Rosetta Causby. The Frank Thomas Freeman Marriage Index shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1922 to Ethel Florence May Symes (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people doesn’t show the birth details of Ethel Florence May Symes. Was Ethel not born in SA, or was Symes her surname from a previous marriage? There are 3 possible SA births around c1893 of girls with the names Ethel Florence May in whatever order. Florence Ethel May Fleet was born on 18 Feb 1893 in Littlehampton SA, but GenealogySA says she married a Richardson (2); Florence Ethel May Miller was born on 1 Jun 1892 at Oodla Wirra SA but she married a Herrmann (2), and finally Ethel Florence May Brown was born on 30 Mar 1894 at Para Plains, Adelaide and in 1913 in the Port Adelaide District, Ethel May Brown was married to William Warden Symes (2). So Ethel Florence May Symes was born Ethel Florence May Brown on 30 Mar 1894 in Para Plains, Adelaide SA to parents James Brown and Annie Frost (3), and she died Ethel Florence May Freeman formerly Symes nee Brown. “Freeman: On the 26th November, at her residence, 37 Fourth street, Gawler South, Ethel Florence May, the beloved wife of Frank Thomas Freeman, aged 40 years” The Advertiser, Monday 27 November 1933 p14 (4). “Freeman: On the 26th November, at her residence, 37 Fourth street, Gawler South, Ethel Florence May, the beloved wife of Frank Thomas Freeman, aged 40 years” The Advertiser, Monday 27 November 1933 p14 (4). There is a reason that Ethel’s daughter Jean is on the headstone as her daughter and not their daughter. Back on RootsWeb, Jean Symes was born Annie Jean Symes on 13 May 1913 in Glanville, Adelaide to parents William Symes and Ethel May Brown (5), making Frank Thomas Freeman Jean’s step-father. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/freeman_ethel_&_frank_thomas.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I322356 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36460110?searchTerm=ethel freeman&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I670771 VF (Daisy) Freeman died aged 72 yrs on 15 Aug 1970; her husband Harold Freeman died aged 92 yrs on 21 June 1987, parents of William (1). We learned in Note 1083 that Harold Freeman was born on 6 Mar 1895 to parents William Robert Freeman and Rosetta Causby. The Harold Freeman Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Port Gawler District in 1916, Harold Freeman was married to Varena Florence Daisy Cork (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Varena Florence Daisy Cork was born Verena[sic] Florence Daisy Cork on 16 Jul 1898 in Angaston SA to parents Martin Cork and Emma Fowler (3). On his headstone William Martin Freeman was born on 4 Jan 1918 and died 8 May 1994, husband of Phyllis Eileen, father of Valerie (4). Back on RootsWeb, William Martin Freeman was born on 4 Jan 1918 in Gawler to parents Harold Freeman and Verena Florence Daisy Cork (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/freeman_v.f._%28daisy%29_&_harold.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I154624 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/freeman_william_martin.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I507659 Myrtle Eva Freeman was born on 23 Aug 1915 and died on 15 Oct 1989, wife of Ron (Mick), mother of Margaret (1). The “R Freeman’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1933, Ronald Frank Freeman was married to Myrtle Eva Maynard (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Myrtle Eva Maynard was born on 22 Aug 1915 in Orroroo SA to parents George Maynard and Alice Maud Darley (3, and Ronald Frank Freeman was born on 28 Dec 1910 in Gawler to parents Frank Thomas Freeman and Ruth Emma Atwell (4), whom we saw as a married couple in Note 1083.

The “F” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that he was born in the ‘043’ month (2), when the headstone actually says the ‘4’ month. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/freeman_ronald_jeffrey.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonf_data.htm Francois C Fritsch died aged 69 yrs on 22 Sept 1972, loved by Kathe and the children (1). Kathe M Fritsch died aged 78 yrs on 12 April 1983, loved by all her children (2). There is no Francois Fritsch Birth or Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but the corresponding Death Index shows that when Francois Conrad Fritsch died in Gawler in 1972, the nominated relative was his widow Kathe Marie Fritsch (2). On the ‘all Fritsch’ Birth Index there are no offspring born to Francois Conrad Fritsch and Kathe Marie __, at least up until 1928. I get the impression that Francois and Kathe Fritsch arrived in SA with their children already born. A search on the National Archives of Australia website shows that Francois Conrad Fritsch of German nationality applied in 1947 to come to Australia with his family comprising his wife Kaethe [?nee Fick]; and children Brigitte; Elonora; Frank; Ingrid; Klaus, and arrived in Melbourne aboard the Roma on 16 October 1952 (4). But no dates of birth were recorded on what is showing at this website. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fritsch_francois_c.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fritsch_kathe_m.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/ItemsListing.aspx Charles Edwin Fry died aged 78 yrs on 29 April 1965; his wife Clara Tabitha Fry died aged 77 yrs on 9 Jan 1975 (1), making their respective years of birth c1887 and c1898. The Charles Edwin Fry Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Crawford District in 1914, Charles Edwin Fry was married to Beatrice Ivy Muriel Mitchell (2), and the Beatrice Ivy Muriel Fry Death Index shows that she died in Adelaide in 1938, with nominated relative her husband Charles Edwin Fry (2). “Deaths: Fry. On the 25th of October, Beatrice Ivy Muriel, dearly beloved wife of Charles Edwin Fry, of Williamstown, and lovinq mother of Alfred, Ross, and Irene, [died] in her 47th year” The Advertiser, Wednesday 26 October 1938 p16 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the only birth in SA up to 1928 of a girl with first names ‘Clara Tabitha’ was Clara Tabitha Chapman who was born on 9 Feb 1897 at Para Plains, Adelaide to parents William Chapman and Sarah Mitton (4). The Clara Chapman Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1914 in Adelaide, Clara Tobitha[sic] Chapman was married to August Fredrick Docking (2), and the August Docking Death Index shows that August Fredrick Docking died in Adelaide in 1919 (2). So did Clara Tabitha Docking nee Chapman marry Charles Edwin Fry? The Clara Docking Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in Adelaide in 1921, Clara Tabitha Docking was married to David William Coleman (2). The David Coleman Death Index at GenealogySA shows that David William Coleman died in Angaston in 1939 (2). So did the twice widowed Clara Tabitha Coleman formerly Docking nee Chapman marry widower Charles Edwin Fry? The timing is right but the final link on GenealogySA is missing. “Social and Personal: Pte G (Snow) Docking, repatriated POW and son of Mrs C Fry of Williamstown, returned to his home town on October 19, after many years in Japanese hands. The church and school bells were rung and residents lined the street to wave and shout their welcome to the homecomer. A dance was held in the Memorial Hall to raise funds for functions wherein to greet returned men. Pte Docking's arrival gave great pleasure, and a lovely posy was presented to his mother Mrs Fry. A delicious supper was provided” Bunyip, Friday 2 November 1945 p3 (5). Was Snow Docking’s mother, Mrs C Fry, Clara Tabitha? On the World War Two Nominal Roll, the G Docking Service Record shows that Gavis Harry Docking was born 21 Nov 1917 in Pinarroo SA and was living in Williamstown, SA when he enlisted on 24 May 1941 at Wayville SA in the Australian Army, giving as Next of Kin Clara Fry. Private Docking was discharged on 30 Nov 1945 from 2/3 Machine Gun Battalion (6). Back on RootsWeb, Gavis Harry Docking was born on 21 Nov 1917 in Pinnaroo SA to parents August Fredrick Docking and Clara Tabitha Chapman (7), and Charles Edwin Fry was born on 10 May 1886 in Wirrabara SA to parents John Henry Fry and Elizabeth Eames (8). This completes the link. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fry_charles_edwin_&_clara_tabitha.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36586951?searchTerm=%22Charles%20Edwin%22%20Fry&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I337491 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96862543?searchTerm=Fry%20Docking&searchLimits=l-title=371 6 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=676325 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I488244 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I724379 Donald Fryar died aged 68 yrs on 20 May 1983; his wife Martha Fryar died aged 82 yrs on 3 Aug 1995; parents of Dennis, Trevor and Barrie (1). There is no Donald Fryar Marriage Index at GenealogySA, and the corresponding Birth Index says that a Donald Fryar was born in the Norwood District in 1919 to parents Albert Edmund Fryar and Wanda Elsa Von Sanden (2), although that seems a little late for the Donald Fryar buried here (c1915), if his age at death of 68 yrs is correct. “Marriages: Lutze —Fryar: The marrlage of Martha, youngest daughter of the late Mr and Mrs CH Lutze, of Maitland, to Donald, youngest son of the late Mr and Mrs Fryar, late of Clare, will be solemnised in St Paul's Lutheran Church, South Kilkerran, at 7pm on the 22nd June. No reception” The Advertiser, Monday 15 June 1936 p16 (3). This wedding notice is helpful but does not identify Donald Fryar’s parents’ initials. But earlier, Donald and Martha were engaged: “Engagements: Lutze— Fryar: The engagement is announced of Martha, the youngest daughter of the late Mr and Mrs CH Lutze, of Maitland, to Donald, the youngest son of the late Mr and Mrs JR Fryar, late of Clare” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 9 January 1936 p25 (4). This means that the above 1919 birth detail of Donald Fryar is not correct for our purposes. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Donald Fryar was born as Josiah Donald Fryar on 26 Aug 1914 in Clare SA to parents John Robert Fryar {ie Mr JR Fryar} and ElizaAnn Moore (5), and Martha Lutz was born as Martha Helene Lutze on 31 Oct 1912 in South Kilkerran SA to parents Carl Heinrich Lutze {ie Mr CH Lutze} and Johanna Maria Franziska Wehr (6). This confirms their correct ages when they died. As a cross-reference, the World War Two Nominal Roll shows the Josiah Donald Fryar Service Record. He was born on 26 Aug 1914 in Clare SA and was living at Willaston SA when he enlisted on 16 May 1944 in Adelaide in the Royal Australian Air Force. Aircraftman 1 Fryar was discharged on 20 Jul 1944 from 5 Recruit Depot. His next of kin was Martha Fryar (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/fryar_donald_&_martha.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48153576?searchTerm=Donald Fryar Martha&searchLimits=

There were only two registered births with the surname Furby in SA up to 1928 (both around Mt Gambier), and none since 1878. The only mention on GenealogySA of Isabella or George Edward Furby is in their Newspaper Death Notices Index where it says that the Isabella Furby Death Notice was in the 1981 Advertiser and George Edward Furby’s was in 1994 (2). Apart from this, I haven’t found much about them. On an Ancestry.com.au website, there is some limited information about the Australian Electoral Rolls (1903-1980). They tell us that there was a George Edward Furby in 1954 in the Lalor District of Victoria, and a George Edward Furby living in the Australian Capital Territory in 1963 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/furby_isabella.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gl=35&=%2C&gsfn=Edward+Bllance&gsln=Furby&gss=angs-d 1095 Marie-Louise Florence Gaertner died aged 83 yrs on 21 April 1963; her husband Frederick August Gaertner died aged 82 yrs on 26 Feb 1968 (1), making their respective years of birth c1880 and c1886. The ‘F Gaertner’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1913, Friedrich August Gaertner was married to Marie Louise Florence Callier (2), and the ‘all Gaertner’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of this couple shows just one child: Pierre Jack Gaertner b1914 in the Gilbert District (2). Pierre Jack Gaertner died aged 45 yrs on 31 July 1959; Thelma Maude Gaertner died aged 70 yrs on 30 May 1985, parents of Roland and Fay (3). There is no Pierre Jack Gaertner Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so we must look elsewhere to find Thelma Maude’s maiden name. “Births: Gaertner (nee Thelma Smith). On the 23rd of August, at the Freeling Hospital, to Mr and Mrs J Gaertner—a son” The Advertiser, Thursday 29 August 1940 p8 (4), and “Births: Gaertner. On April 27, at the Freeling Hospital, to Thelma and Jack —a daughter” The Advertiser, Friday 30 April 1943 p8 (5), no doubt these were Roland and Fay. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Friedrich August Gaertner was born Fredrieck[sic] August Gaertner on 21 Apr 1885 in Freeling SA to parents John Fredrieck August Gaertner and Carolina Mary Heinrich (6), Pierre Jack Gaertner was born on 9 Mar 1914 in Hamley Bridge SA to parents Friedrich August Gaertner and Marie Louise Florence Callier (7), Marie Louise Florence Callier was born Marie Losie Florance Callier on 11 Jul 1879 near Freeling to parents Pierre Josephine Callier and Marguerite Bovy (8), and Thelma Maude Smith was born on 27 Feb 1915 in Freeling to parents William James Smith and Lillie May Mackereth (9). According to the data on the LDS website, Frederick August Gaertner’s father was Johann Friedrich August Gaertner who was born in Prussia in 1858, and died on 4 Sep 1915 nr Freeling SA. Johann Friedrich August Gaertner’s parents were August Friedrich Gaertner (born 1838 Prussia and Dorothea Moelle (born 10 May 1838 Gerstric, Brandenburg, Germany, died 26 Jan 1913 Walkerville SA. Johann Friedrich August Gaertner was married aged 21 yrs on 1 Mar 1881 in Gawler to Carolina Maria Heinrich aged 20 yrs (born 1860). The children of Johann Friedrich August Gaertner and Carolina Maria Heinrich were [1] Louise Ida Maria Gaertner born 23 Jan 1882 Schoenfeldt SA, died 1 Mar 1882 Freeling SA; [2] Friedrich August Herman Gaertner born 7 Mar 1883 Freeling, died 17 Apr 1883 Freeling; [3] Friedrich August Gaertner born 21 Apr 1885 Freeling; [4] Augusta Emma Gaertner born 25 May 1887 Freeling; [5] Pauline Ida Gaertner born 14 Jan 1889 Freeling; [6] Gustav Hermann Gaertner born 15 Oct 1890 Freeling; [7] Charles Ludwig Gaertner born 24 Oct 1892 Freeling, died 15 Nov 1892 Freeling; [8] Marie Louise Gaertner born 23 Oct 1893 Freeling; [9] Gustav Eduard Gaertner born 3 Sep 1895 Freeling; [10] Friedrich Wilhelm Gaertner born 26 Apr 1898 nr Freeling; [11] Hugo Benno Gaertner born 28 Jun 1901 nr Freeling (10). Thus, Frederick August Gaertner and Gustav Edward Gaertner were brothers, although there was more than 10 years between them. On their headstone, Gustav Edward Gaertner died aged 79 yrs on 14 Dec 1974; his wife Ada Gaertner died aged 81 yrs on 1 Nov 1975 (11). Back on the LDS website, further information exists concerning the family of Johann Friedrich August Gaertner and Carolina Maria Heinrich: Carolina Maria Heinrich’s father was Gottlieb Heinrich; [3] Friedrich August Gaertner was married on 10 Sep 1913 in Gawler to Marie Louise Florance Callier; [5] Pauline Ida Gaertner was married on 5 Mar 1914 in Freeling to Adolph Ernst Dohnt; [6] Gustav Hermann Gaertner was married on 4 Oct 1916 in Hamley Bridge SA to Clarice Violet Maud Murphy; [8] Marie Louise Gaertner was married on 8 Jun 1914 in Torrensville to Hermann Julius Gass (12). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gaertner_marie-louise_florence_&_frederick_august.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gaertner_pierre_jack_&_thelma_maude.jpg 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30588073?searchTerm=Jack Gaertner Thelma&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48910844?searchTerm=Jack Gaertner Thelma&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I727011 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I509497 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I348709 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I659132 10 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I54011&tree=SouthAustralia 11 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gaertner_gustav_edward_&_ada.jpg 12 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F13517&tree=SouthAustralia 1096 As we learned in Note 1095, Gustav Edward Gaertner died aged 79 yrs on 14 Dec 1974; his wife Ada Gaertner died aged 81 yrs on 1 Nov 1975, and we also found Gustav Edward Gaertner’s date of birth to be 3 Sept 1895. There is no Gustav Edward Gaertner Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so we must look elsewhere for Ada Gaertner’s maiden name. The ‘all Gaertner’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Gustav Edward Gaertner and Ada __ shows three births up until 1928 to parents Gustav Edward Gaertner and Ada Smith, all in the Barossa District [1] Sylvia Hilda Gaertner b1921; [2] Cynthia Viola Gaertner b1925; [3] Malcolm Douglas Edward Gaertner b1927 (1). Searching on Trove failed to find a Wedding Notice for Gustav Edward Gaertner and Ada Smith. Back to RootsWeb, there are 50 births of Ada Smith in SA up to 1928. There are three to choose from even just in 1894, so we need more information about Ada to decide which one. A middle name, initial would help, as would a parent’s name or initial. Or was Smith her married name from a previous relationship? A review of the ‘all Smith’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA seeking a marriage between Mr Smith and an Ada __ shows 19 marriages of this scenario [up until 1936], but two of particular interest. Percy Chappell Smith was married in the Port Adelaide District in 1913 to Hilda Ada Vera Hardy (1), and Clarence Leslie Smith was married in Adelaide in 1915 to Ada Olive Alfreda Dayman (1). On their respective GenealogySA’s Birth Indexes, Hilda Ada Vera Hardy was born in 1894; and Ada Olive Alfreda Dayman was born in 1895 (1). Either of these could be the Ada Gaertner we are seeking. The Percy Chappell Smith Death Index at GenealogySA shows he died in 1962 (1), and the Clarence Leslie

Smith Death Index shows that when he died in 1970, the nominated relative was his wife Alice Maude Smith (1), so what happened to his wife Ada Olive Alfreda Smith? We find on the ‘all Smith’ Marriage Index that Percy Chappell Smith was married in 1913 to Hilda Ada Vera Hardy as mentioned above, but he was also married in 1926 in Adelaide to Ada Grace Edgecombe (1). We find via Trove “Divorce Proceedings: In the Civil Court on Wednesday Mr Justice Napier continued the hearing of petitions for divorce in undefended suits. ... Hilda Ada Vera Smith, of Portland, sued for a divorce from Percy Chappell Smith. The petition stated that the parties were married at Port Adelaide on October 14, 1913. They lived together at Glanville Blocks, Port Adelaide. There was one child of the marriage. It was alleged that the respondent had habitually misconducted himself with a woman in September and November, 1920 and from April to June 1921 at Adelaide. Mr JL Power appeared for the petitioner. A decree nisi was granted. .... .” The Advertiser, Thursday 8 May 1924 p7 (2). Percy Chappell Smith was divorced in 1924 and married again in 1926. The child mentioned can be found on the ‘all Smith’ Birth Index at GenealogySA; James William Alfred Smith was born in the Norwood District in 1915 to parents Percy Chapple Smith and Hilda Ada Vera Hardy (1). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Hilda Ada Vera Hardy was born on 23 Aug 1894 in Glenelg, Adelaide to parents William Hardy and Mary Ann Bennetts (3). It is clear that Percy Chapple Smith and Hilda Ada Vera Hardy were married in 1913, parented James William Alfred Smith in 1915, then at some stage over the next few years were separated. Hilda Ada Vera Smith nee Hardy formed a relationship with Gustav Edward Gaertner by 1920, which resulted in a further 3 children to born, although I cannot find a marriage notice, and started before she was divorced in 1924 and continued until death did them part in 1974. It would be remiss of me not to complete the history of Clarence Leslie Smith and Ada Olive Alfreda Dayman. Ada Olive Alfreda Dayman was born on 26 Nov 1895 in Salisbury, Adelaide to parents Herbert Dayman and Elizabeth Smitham (4). After their 1915 marriage Clarence Leslie Smith and Ada Olive Alfreda Smith nee Dayman had 4 children (at least up to 1928) [1] Leslie Hamilton Smith b1915; [2] Joan Hamilton Smith b1919; [3] Betty Hamilton Smith b1921; [4] Alan Lyal Smith b1928 (1). So this Ada is clearly no the one we seek, the one having children with Gustav Edward Gaertner in the early 1920s. Alas however, their marriage also did not survive: “Undefended Divorce Cases: Orders nisi for divorce were granted to the plaintiffs in the following undefended actions during the week ....Ada Olive Alfreda Smith, of Goodwood road, Colonel Light Gardens, against Clarence Leslie Smith, soldier, of Adelaide, on the ground of ...... ” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 23 December 1943 p21 (5). 1 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36668844?searchTerm=Divorce Percy Ada Smith&searchLimits= 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I47705 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I456901 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92707207?searchTerm=Divorce Clarence Ada Smith&searchLimits= Klemens M Garbacz died aged 73 yrs on 6 Jan 1984; his wife Eleonore Garbacz died aged 69 yrs on 5 Jan 1991; parents of Henry and Rosemary (1), making their respective years of birth c1910 and c 1921, both dying very early into the new year. The ‘all Garbacz’ Death Index at The ‘all Garbacz’ Newspaper Death Notices List at GenealogySA has only two deaths reported in the Advertiser since the early 1970s, Klemens M Garbacz in 1984 and Eleanore (Lorraine) Garbacz in 1991 (2). GenealogySA only shows one entry, that of John Garbacz who died in Gawler in 1955, with nominated relative his father Klemens Garbacz (2). According to information at the National Archives of Australia, the Garbacz family [Polish] arrived in Melbourne aboard the General W G Haan 21 Feb 1950 (3). The family comprised Mieczyslaw [aka Klemens] Garbacz born 23 November 1910 (4); Eleonore [aka Lore] Garbacz born 15 April 1921; Henryk Garbacz born 30 Janaury 1949 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/garbacz_klemens_m_&_eleonore.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/ItemsListing.aspx 4 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=8863353&isAv=N 5 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=4261700&isAv=N Jakiw (Jack) Behen died aged 78 yrs on 8 April 2000; his wife Olga Behen died aged 83 yrs on 16 Aug 2006, parents of Alex, Ted, Nadia, Ivan and ?

The “B” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Martynas Bercys died on 26 July 1975 (2), but it looks more like 20 July 1979 to me. I was correct about the day, but we were both wrong about the year as the Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper has one for Martynas Bercys on 21 July 1973 (3). A search for Martynas Bercys on the National Archives of Australia website shows the following dates of birth: Martynas Bercys born 20 February 1892; Ona Bercys born 22 March 1905; Jakubas Lipsys born 17 May 1937; Ona Lipsys born 10 June 1938; Alfredas Lipsys born 7 April 1942; Jonas Lipsys born 27 May 1933 of this Lithuanian family who arrived in Melbourne aboard the Skaugum on 11 December 1950 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/bercys_ona_&_martynas.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonb_data.htm 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-B.html 4 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/ItemsListing.aspx Walter Beskow died aged 54 yrs on 5 Jan 1980 (1), making his year of birth c1925. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there has been nobody with that surname born in SA up until 1928 (2). A search for Walter Beskow at the National Archives of Australia website shows that Walter Beskow was born on 20 Sept 1925; Gerda Beskow nee Becker was born on 3 April 1923; from Germany, arrived aboard the Anna Salen on 18 April 1953 (3). According to the Newspaper Death Notices Index at GenealogySA, Walter (Wally) Beskow’s death notice was in the Advertiser in 1980; and one for Gerda Rose Beskow appeared in 1994 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/a-b/beskow_walter.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SRCH&db=sabmd&surname=B 3 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/ItemsListing.aspx 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 Francesco Antonio Circosta died aged 52 yrs on 20 Sept 1961, husband of Carmela, father of Teresa, Nicola, Joan, Rosa and Carmel (1),

When searching Francesco Antonio Circosta on the National Archives of Australia, we find that he arrived in Adelaide on 6 February 1928 aboard the Regina d'Italia, and he was naturalized on 21 November 1935 (3), but there are no birth details for either Francesco Antonio or Carmela Circosta. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/circosta_francesco_antonio.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/circosta_carmela.jpg 3 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/ItemsListing.aspx Stefano Culot died aged 70 yrs on 19 Sept 1979; his wife Ezelinda Culot died aged 71 yrs on 27 Feb 1986; they share their headstone with Antonio Francesca who died aged 36 yrs on 22 Nov 1970, husband of Maria (1). One wonders whether Maria Francesca was born a member of the Culot family. The National Archives of Australia website tells us that Stefano Culot {Italian} arrived in Melbourne aboard the Australia on 3 August 1956 (2), with his wife Ezelinda Culot {Italian} accompanying him (3).

The “C” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has settled on Czapla as the surname (2). The ‘all Czapla’ Death Index shows that when Jozefa Czapla died in Gawler in 1969, the nominated relative was her pre-deceased husband Karol Czapla (3). So we at least have learned that Jozefa Czapla was her proper name and she was a married lady. According to the information found on the National Archives of Australia website, Jozefa Czapla was born on 19 March 1895 in Poland and she arrived in Melbourne aboard the Anna Salen on 1 November 1949 (4). It seems that she was actually 74 yrs old. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/czapla_jozefa.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonc_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/ItemsListing.aspx Marcin Czuchwicki died aged 78 yrs on 6 June 1977; Anna Czuchwicki died aged 78 yrs on 10 Nov 1979 (1), making their years of birth c1899 and c1901 respectively. Maria Czuchwicki nee Juszczak was born on 11 Sept 1943, and died 21 Nov 2004, wife of Henryk (2), making her 61 yrs of age when she died. A search of Marcin Czuchwicki at the National Archives of Australia website shows this Polish couple arrived in Melbourne aboard the Hellenic Prince on 14 February 1950. Marcin Czuchwicki was born 12 November 1899; Anna Czuchwicki was born 11 March 1901 (3), and Maria Czuchwicki arrived from Poland in Melbourne aboard the Gugliemo Marconi on 11 May 1964 {Also known as Juszczak} (4). It is unclear the relationship between Marcin and Anna Czuchwicki with Maria, but surely they must be related. Still using the National Archives of Australia website, Henryk Czuchwicki had come from Poland, and arrived in Melbourne aboard the General M B Stewart on 30 January 1950, well before Anna and Marcin.

There’s nothing on GenealogySA and Trove doesn’t help, so it remains a mystery 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/damulevicius_antanas.jpg 2 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/ItemsListing.aspx Guglielmo Della-Mina died aged 67 yrs on 28 March 1965, husband of Maria, father of Natale, Olimpio and Arcise (1). Maria Della-Mina died aged 83 yrs {in her 84th year} on 30 Aug 1984, wife of Guglielmo, mother of Olimpio, Arcisa and Natale (dec’d) (2). Guglielmo DellaMina was born in Mello, Italy on 3 April 1897 and was living in Truro SA when he was naturalised on 30 August 1946. He arrived in Adelaide aboard the Orama on 22 July 1930.

Tindara Giusep__ Deluca was born on 18 Jan 1910 in San Angelo di Bro__, and died aged 61 yrs on 4 Dec 1971 (2), the photo was not taken fully frontal, and there is a statue obscuring some of the details. The National Archives of Australia website has some notes on Francesco Deluca but nothing relevant for us. The ‘all Deluca’ Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Tindara Giuseppa Deluca died in Gawler in 1971, with nominated relative her husband Francesco Deluca (3). Note her middle name on this index is Giuseppa, not Giuseppi. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/deluca_francesco.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/c-d/deluca_tindara_giuseppi.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 Adrianus Franscicus Eenbergen died aged 61 yrs on 19 May 1989, his wife Elisabeth Maria Eenbergen died aged 79 yrs on 14 Sept 2005; parents of Billy and Ma__ (1), another headstone photo marred by removable flowers!! The “E” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery spells Elisabeth Maria Eenbergen’s first name with a ‘z’ (2), but that’s not the way it’s spelt on the headstone. Adrianus Franscicus Eenbergen and family of Dutch nationality arrived in Melbourne aboard the Johan Van Oldenbarnevelt on 8 December 1956. Adrianus Franciscus Petrus Van Eenbergen was born on 3 February 1928; Elisabeth Maria Van Eenbergen nee Van De Sande was born on 21 October 1925; Wilhelmus J P Th Van Eenbergen was born on 2 September 1954 and misgrated under the Netherlands Australia Migration Agreement (3).

According to information on the LDS website, Thomas Gash was born in 1826, and died on 9 Apr 1909 in Willaston SA. He was married before 1846 to Elizabeth Cockwell who was born in 1824, and died on 16 Jul 1901 in Semaphore SA. The children of Thomas Gash and Elizabeth Cockwell included [1] John Gash born 1846; [2] William Gash born 1848, died 11 Nov 1881 Gawler; [3] Amy Gash born 1854; [4] Elizabeth Gash born 29 Oct 1858 Fifth Creek SA, died 13 Jun 1942 College Park SA; [5] Susanna Gash born 8 Apr 1861 Newtown SA; [6] Esther Gash born 1 Jul 1866 East Payneham SA (2). Details about the family of Esther Eyers nee Gash can be found in Note 303. “A Golden Wedding: Mrs Chapman's garden was the scene of another festival on Christmas Day, when Mr and Mrs Thomas Gash, who reside in the cottage there, celebrated the 50th anniversary of their wedding day. Both Mr and Mrs Gash were born at Welburne, Lincolnshire, England, the former now being 71 years of age and the latter 72. They were married at Waddingham in that county in 1844, and arrived in the colony in 1853 in the ship 'Caucasian ' with three children. They settled at Fifth Creek, where Mr Gash worked a market garden. Five more children were born to them there making in all two sons and six daughters. They came to Gawler in 1872, and have been living here ever since. Their eldest son went to the Northern Territory in 1871 and has never been heard of since. He left a wife and three children. The second son the late Mr W Gash died at Gawler in November 1883 leaving a wife and five children. Of the six daughters only one remains at home, the others being married. The total number of grand children is thirty. Fortune has not smiled on Mr and Mrs Gash as it has done on come other old colonists. Theirs has been a life of hard work all through. .... A pleasant evening was spent by the family and a few friends” Bunyip, Friday 28 December 1894 p2 (3). According to the Geni website, Thomas Gash was born on 3 July 1825 at Welbourn, Lincolnshire, UK and died on 19 April 1909 in Willaston to parents John Gash and Mary Gash. His siblings were Ann Gash; David Gash; Elizabeth Gash; Joseph D Gash; Catherine Gash; John Gash and Mary Gash. He was married to Elizabeth Gash with who he had 9 children: John Gash; Mary Ann Gash; George Gash; Philip Gash; Amy Gash; Elizabeth Gash; Fanny Gash; Esther Gash and Susannah Reece (4), but on the same website, the birthdate of Elizabeth Gash nee Cockwell is stated as just being in 1824 at Snitterby, Lincolnshire, UK, and she died on 18 July 1901 at Semaphore SA (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gash_thomas_&_elizabeth.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I1060&tree=SouthAustralia 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97569320?searchTerm=Gash%20Golden%20wedding&searchLimits=l-title=371 4 http://www.geni.com/people/Thomas-Gash/6000000017828380721 5 http://www.geni.com/people/Elizabeth-Gash/6000000017828634578 1110 Margaret Catto died aged 70 yrs on 2 Sept 1938; her husband Alexander William Catto died aged 74 yrs on 27 May 1940 (1), making their respective years of birth c1868 and c1866. The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that the surname is ‘Gatto’ but it looks more like ‘Catto’ really. The Alexander William Gatto Marriage Index at GenealogySA gives no results but the Alexander William Catto Marriage Index shows that in the Barossa District in 1897, Alexander William Catto was married to Margaret Mortimer (2), and the Alexander William Catto Death Index shows that he died in Gawler in 1940 (2), same as on the headstone. Similarly, the Margaret Catto Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when she died in Gawler in 1938, the nominated relative was her husband Alexander William Catto (2). According to information on the LDS website, Alexander William Catto was born in 1866 to father Alexander Gordon Catto. Alexander William Catto aged 31 yrs was married on 11 Aug 1897 in Gawler to Margaret Mortimer aged 29 yrs, she was born on 15 Jun 1868 in Gawler (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there was only one SA birth up till 1928 of a child surnamed Catto, and that was Mabel Agnes Crawford Catto who was born on 14 Mar 1899 in Gawler to parents Alexander William Catto and Margaret Mortimer (4), presumably an only child. There were no “Gatto” births in SA over that same period. On a FamilySearch website called Scotland, Births and Baptisms, Alexander William Catto was born on 07 Jan 1866 at Ancrum, Roxburgh, Scotland to parents Alexander Gordon Catto and Margaret Dick (5). “Deaths: Catto: On the 27th of May, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Alexander William Catto, of 12 Duffield street, Gawler, beloved husband of the late Margaret Catto, and loved father of Mabel, aged 74 years” The Advertiser, Tuesday 28 May 1940 p6 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gatto_margaret_&_alexander_william.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I103554&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I374212 5 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FQ5J-DC9 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47194938?searchTerm=alexander%20william%20catto&searchLimits= 1111 Alice Maude Gebler died aged 43 yrs on 13 July 1915; her husband Charles Robert Gebler died aged 54 yrs on 29 Oct 1926, parents of Jack, Connie and Lance (1). The Charles Gebler Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in Adelaide in 1898, Charles Gebler married Alice Molan (2). The ‘all Gebler’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Charles Gebler and Alice Maud Molan shows three children were born, all in the Port Gawler District [1] John William Gebler b1900; [2] Constance Mary Gebler b1902; [3] Lancelot Francis Gebler b1908 (2). On their headstone, John William Gebler died aged 66 yrs on 25 Jan 1967; his wife Dorothy May Gebler died aged 84 yrs on 30 Oct 1986; parents of Connie, Dorothy, Marlene and Lorraine (3). The John William Gebler Marriage Index shows that in the Barossa District in 1921, he was married to Dorothy May Greenwood (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Charles Robert Gebler was born on 31 Mar 1870 in Allens Creek, near Kapunda SA to parents William Gebler and Mary Tranter (4), and Dorothy May Greenwood was born on 17 Jan 1902 in Gawler to parents William Richard Greenwood and Edith May Lawler (5), but there is no John William Gebler nor Alice Maud Molan at RootsWeb. On the MyHeritage website, Constance Mary Lee nee Gebler was born in 1902 to parents Charles and Alice Maude Molan. Charles Robert Gebler was born on 31 March 1870 att Allens Creek (Kapunda District) SA. Alice Maude Molan was born in 1872. Constance Mary Gebler married Claude William John Lee, who was born on 26 March 1900 in Blocks Rd Gawler South, and was a dairy farmer, milk deliverer and market gardener. Constance Mary Gebler and Claude William John Lee had 4 children, including Rosslyn Claude (Ross) Lee. Constance died in 1964 aged 61 yrs (6). Still on the MyHeritage website, the parents of Charles Robert Gebler (1870-1926) were William Christopher Gebler {born 1834 Schutterzell Baden Germany} and Mary Frances Tranter {born 1836 STF England}. Charles Robert Gebler died in 1926 aged 55 yrs (7). Despite my best endeavours, the dates of birth for Alice Maude Molan and John William Gebler have remained elusive. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gebler_alice_maude_&_charles_robert.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gebler_john_william_&_dorothy_may.jpg

Her year of birth is thus calculated to be c1888. The Lily Gedling search at GenealogySA shows no mentions, but the ‘all Gedling’ Death Index shows that when Lilly[sic] Gedling died in Gawler in 1962, the nominated relative was her deceased husband James Lewis Gedling (2), and there is no other mention of either of them on GenealogySA under those names. “Deaths: Gedling: On October 31, 1939, at Yarloop Hospital, James Lewis Gedling, dearly beloved husband of Lillian and loving father of Enos, Charles, George, Percival, Robert, Jessie, Lillian and stepson Jack, father-in-law of Muriel, Kathleen and Nita; loving grandfather of Victor, Lorna, Colin, Harlie, Lindsay, James and George, aged 69 years” The West Australian (Perth), Wednesday 1 November 1939 p1 (3). “The Late Mr James Lewis Gedling: The death occurred at the Yarloop Hospital on Tuesday, October 31, of Mr James Lewis Gedling (69), mill foreman for Millar's Timber & Trading Co at Nanga Brook, where he was highly esteemed. He leaves a widow, five sons, two daughters, a step-son and seven grandchildren. The funeral took place at Waroona on Wednesday afternoon” South Western Advertiser (Perth), Friday 3 November 1939 p2 (4). James Lewis Gedling had a step-son (Jack), so it was at least his second marriage. He was born c1870, so Lily was about 18 years younger than him. For him to have a step-son means that his last wife had a son (Jack) already, so it seems it was her second marriage also. Without knowing her former name, and maiden name, it is is a tall order to track her down, especially as in genealogical terms her death is too recent to find details in the newspapers. His first wife dies: “Deaths: Gedling: On February 2, 1920, May Elizabeth, dearly beloved wife of James Lewis Gedling, and mother of Enos Alfred, Charles Victor, George Alexander, Percy Clarence and Robert Murdoch Gedling, aged 35 years” Western Mail (Perth), Thursday 5 February 1920 p27 (5). He marries Lillian: “Marriages: Gedling—Tain: On May 21, 1923, JL Gedling, of Nanga Brook, Western Australia, to Lillian Tain, late of England” The West Australian (Perth), Tuesday 22 May 1923 p1 (6). His Probate Notice: “The following probates and letters of administration, showing names of deceased, executors and administrators, were recorded at the Supreme Court this week: Probates: ..... Gedling, James Lewis, late of Nanga Brook, mill foreman, to Lilly Gedling, of Nanga Brook. ... ” The Daily News (Perth), Saturday 16 December 1939 p16 (7). I haven’t found the connection to Gawler, maybe Lillian Gedling formerly Tain had a sister living here, or maybe her son Jack was a local, although I haven’t found any local Tains in the Bunyip. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gedling_lily.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/46434884?searchTerm=James%20Lewis%20Gedling&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/149051751?searchTerm=James%20Lewis%20Gedling&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/37466847?searchTerm=James%20Lewis%20Gedling&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/22629859?searchTerm=Gedling%20Lillian&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/78974479?searchTerm=James%20Lewis%20Gedling&searchLimits= Maria Martha Geister (our dear mother) died aged 29 yrs on 20 Nov 1959 (1), although admittedly I have relied somewhat on the “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (2) for this information as I find the photo of the headstone very hard to decipher. As she was a mother, I presume Geister is her married name. If she was born c1930, then the RootsWeb collection of SA births won’t help as they currently only show births up to 1928. Also Trove searches of old newspapers currently only are available up to 1954. However, if we can find a marriage or engagement notice, that at least will give us her maiden name. But was naming children Maria Martha in 1930? The ‘all Geister’ Marriage Index at Genealogy SA shows Maria Martha Jenke was married in the Kapunda District in 1913 to Paul Hermann Geister (3), so those figures on the “G” data page are looking suspicious. The Maria Martha Geister Death Index shows that when she died in Gawler in 1959 {so at least that date seems okay} the nominated relative was her deceased husband Paul Hermann Geister (3). But there is no Maria Martha Jenke Birth Index at GenealogySA, so was Jenke a previous married name, and not her maiden name? The ‘all Jenke’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA seeking a marriage between a Mr Jenke and Maria Martha __ shows that in the Kapunda District in 1892, August Jenke married Marie Martha Schaefer (3). However there is no Marie Martha Schaefer Birth Index at GenealogySA either, but I cannot find reference of a Mr Schaefer marrying Maria Martha __, so most likely Schaefer is her maiden name, and the birth was just not officially recorded. When Googling Marie Martha Schaefer on a general internet search, I came across a website hosted by RootsWeb that says that Maria Martha Schaeffer[sic] was born in 1870, and was married twice. Her first husband was August Jenke with whom she had 6 children. Later she married Paul Hermann Geister (4), but had no further children. The ‘all Jenke’ Birth Index indicates that August Jenke was also married twice, firstly to Anna Louise GEISTER with whom he had 7 children, all born in the Kapunda District [1] August Traugott Jenke b1882; [2] Anna Elizabeth Jenke b1883; [3] Paul Herrmann Jenke b1885; [4] Ernst Gottlieb Jenke b1886; [5] Maria Lydia Jenke b1887; [6] Carl Johannes Jenke b1889; [7] August Paul Jenke b1891 (3)The Anna Louise Jenke Death Index shows that she died in the Kapunda District in 1891, with nominated relative her husband August Jenke (3). As we found, he then married Marie Martha Schaefer in the Kapunda District in 1892. The 6 children of August Jenke and Maria Martha Schaefer (I’ve included her name in brackets when it varies), also all born in the Kapunda District, were [1] Friedrich Bernhard Jenke b1893 (Martha Schaeffer); [2] Gustav Alfred Jenke b1895 (Anna Martha Schafer); [3] Louisa Mathilde Jenke b1897; [4] Johannes Herbert Jenke b1896; [5] Heinrich Edwin Jenke b1898; [6] Adolph Erwin Jenke 1900 (3). But I haven’t been able to find her precise date of birth, just the year 1870. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/geister_maria_martha.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://freepages.family.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~moadfamily/Family/PC55/PC55_154.HTM Pietro Genzo was born on 4 May 1916 and died 23 March 2001, brother of Emilio (1). The only mention of Pietro Genzo at GenealogySA is in the Newspaper Death Notices Index which says that there was a death notice for him in the Advertiser in 2001 (2). A search for Pietro Genzo at the National Archives of Australia website shows that he was born on 4 May 1916 in Yugoslavia and arrived in Melbourne aboard the General AW Greely on 12 May 1950 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/genzo_pietro.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/ItemsListing.aspx Eduard Johannes (Jack) Gerlach died aged 72 yrs on 20 April 1961; Bertha Matilda Gerlach died aged 84 yrs on 30 April 1979 (1). The ‘all Gerlach’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Eduard Johannes Gerlach and Bertha Matilda __ shows that there were 2 children born (up to 1928), both in the Kapunda District [1] John Raymond Gerlach b1922 to parents Edward Johannes Gerlach and
Bertha Mathilde Riesen; [2] Eric Edward Gerlach b1924 to parents Eduard Johannes Gerlach and Bertha Matilda Riessen (2). In an effort to find the correct spelling of Bertha Matilda’s maiden name: “Riessen —Gerlach: Mr and Mrs EJ Gerlach, of Gawler, wish to announce the 25th anniversary of their marriage, solemnised in the Flinders street Lutheran Church, on October 27, 1920, by the Rev Janzow” The Advertiser, Saturday 27 October 1945 p16 (3), and “Return Thanks. Gerlach: Mrs EJ Gerlach, of Gawler Blocks, desires to thank all kind friends and relatives for telegrams, cards and expressions of sympathy in her recent sad bereavement sustained through the loss of her father, the late FH Riessen, of Reade Park” Bunyip, Friday 25 June 1948 p7 (4). I have no doubt that her surname was Riessen, not Riesen, helped by the fact that a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there are no ‘Riesen births’ in SA up to 1928. The headstone for Eric Edward (Jim) Gerlach says that he was born on 23 Jan 1924, and died 13 Aug 2005; ‘re-united with Mum and Dad’ (5), hinting that he may not have had his own family. The headstone for John Raymond (Ray) Gerlach says that he was born on 8 March 1922 and died 24 Feb 1996, husband of Barbara Nancy, father of Noel, Jennifer, Grantley, Tania and Timothy (6). Back on RootsWeb, Eduard Johannes Gerlach was born on 26 May 1889 in Hd of English SA to parents Gottlieb Gerlach and Maria Riedel (7), Bertha Matilda Riessen was born on 12 May 1894 in Julia Creek SA to parents Hermann Friederich Riessen and Minnie Hameister (8), and, as a cross-check, Eric Edward Gerlach was born on 23 Jan 1924 in Eudunda SA to parents Eduard Johannes Gerlach and Bertha Matilda Riessen (9), and John Raymond Gerlach was born on 8 Mar 1922 in Eudunda to parents Edward Johannes Gerlach and Bertha Mathilde Riesen[sic] (10). Rebecca Ann Gerlach died aged 10 mths on 9 Feb 1983, daughter of Noel and Glenda (11). We know that John Raymond Gerlach had a son named Noel, so presumably Noel Gerlach was married to a Glenda __ and they became the parents of Rebecca Ann in about April 1982, 10 mths before Rebecca died. It is way too recent for genealogy sites to help us find her precise date of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gerlach_eduard_johannes_&_bertha_matilda.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48674618?searchTerm=Gerlach%20Riessen&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96847691?searchTerm=Gerlach%20Riessen&searchLimits= 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gerlach___eric_edward.jpg 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gerlach_john_raymond.jpg 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I731156 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I229276 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I512100 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I512095 11 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gerlach_rebecca_ann.jpg 1116 Bert Gerschwitz died aged 74 yrs on 20 Feb 1971; his wife Rosa Gerschwitz died aged 82 yrs on 2 Nov 1982; parents of Eleanora, Eric, Una, Ruth and Mervyn (1). Because of uncertainty over the correct first name of “Bert”, a search on the ‘all Gerschwitz’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Kapunda District in 1933, Gerhard Berthold Gerschwitz was married to Rosa Helena Peltz (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Gerhard Berthold Gerschwitz was born on 12 Jul 1896 in South Kilkerran SA to parents Johann Friedrich Gerschwitz and Mathilde Pauline Fichtner (3), and Rosa Helena Peltz was born as Rosa Helene[sic] Peltz on 25 Jun 1900 in Bethel SA to parents Richard Peltz and Lydia Geue (4). “Obituary: Mr Johann Friederich Gerschwitz, who died at his residence at South Kilkerran, YP, recently at the age of 85 was born at Light Pass and at the age of 17 went to South Kilkerran, where he was employed on a farm by the late Mr CA Fichtner. After a few years he purchased a farm at South Kilkerran. In 1890 he married Mathilda Pauline Fichtner. There were 12 children— eight sons and four daughters. Mr Gerschwitz was one of the foundation members of the St John's Lutheran Congregation. Mrs Gerschwitz died in 1942. Seven sons— Herb and Will (Cungena), Wallie (Cummins), Bert (Smithfield), Eduard (Ardrossan). Oskar and Erwin (South Kilkerran) and four daughters — Brigitta, Elli, Dora and Clara (South Kilkerran) survive him” The Advertiser, Friday 27 June 1952 p13 (5). According to the information on the LDS website, Johann Friedrich Traugott Gerschwitz was born on 10 Dec 1866 at Lights Pass SA and died on 5 Jun 1952 at South Kilkerran SA. His parents were Friedrich Ernst Wilhelm Gerschwitz (born 15 Apr 1817 Kreis Liegnitz, Silesia, Prussia, died 20 Aug 1882 nr Sedan SA) and Ernstine Caroline Marie Fichtner (born 10 Dec 1829 Kreis Liegnitz, Prussia, died 3 May 1921 Bugle Hut SA), who had married before 1852 in Kreis Liegnitz. Johann Friedrich Traugott Gerschwitz was a farmer living in South Kilkerran, and was married aged 23 yrs on 6 Feb 1890 in Kilkerran to Mathilda Pauline Fichtner aged 24 yrs (born 31 Dec 1865 Stockwell SA, died 13 Sep 1941 Maitland SA. Her parents were Carl Augt Fichtner and Anna Dorothia Falting). The 11 children of Johann Friedrich Traugott Gerschwitz and was Mathilda Pauline Fichtner, all born in South Kilkerran, were [1] Oscar Herbert Gerschwitz born 16 Jan 1891, died 1976; [2] Brigitta Agnes Gerschwitz born 25 Feb 1893, died 1981; [3] Walter Waldemar Gerschwitz born 9 Mar 1895, died 1972; [4] Gerhard Berthold Gerschwitz born 12 Jul 1896, died 1971; [5] Friedrich Wilhelm Gerschwitz born 24 Feb 1898, died 1979; [6] Benno Edward Gerschwitz born 1899, died 1973; [7] Ewald Oskar Gerschwitz born 11 Oct 1900, died 1980; [8] Heinrich Ervien Gerschwitz born 29 Apr 1902, died 1968; [9] Olive Elli Gerschwitz born 1905, died 1976; [10] Alwira Dora Peltz Nee Gerschwitz born 1907; [11] Clara Elvera Gerschwitz born 1911, died 1981 (6). On a genealogy website of the family of Graeme Moad, Gerhard Berthold Gerschwitz (12 Jul 1896 - 20 Feb 1971) was born to parents Johann Friedrich Gerschwitz (3 Dec 1866 - 5 Jun 1952) and Mathilda Pauline Fichtner (31 Dec 1865 - 13 Sep 1941). Rosa Helena Peltz was born 25 Jun 1900 to parents Carl Richard Peltz (18 May 1870 - 29 Jan 1936) and Maria Lydia Geue (23 Jan 1871 - 9 Jun 1951) (7). On her headstone, Ruth Clara Gerschwitz was born on 6 June 1939, and died 8 June 1958 (8), 2 days after her 19th birthday. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gerschwitz_bert_&_rosa.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I731429 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I232916 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47412513?searchTerm=gerschwitz%20Bert&searchLimits= 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I146645&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://graememoad.com/Family/WC119/WC119_357.HTM 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gerschwitz_ruth_clara.jpg 1117 Christoph Emil Gertig died aged 66 yrs on 11 June 1951; Beatrice Gertig died aged 74 yrs on 18 July 1967 (1). The Christoph Emil Gertig Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Port Gawler District in 1911, Christoph Emil Gertig was married to Beatrice Phillips (2). According to the information on the LDS website, Christoph Emil Gertig was born on 15 Jun 1884 at English SA to parents Johann C Friedrich Gertig (born 1828) and Anna Maria Hall (born 1856), who had married on 30 Aug 1877 at Ebenezer SA (3). The ‘all Gertig’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Christoph Emil Gertig and Beatrice Phillips shows 9 children were born up until 1928, the first 3 in the Barossa District, the last 6 in the Port Gawler District, parents names in brackets when they vary [1] Sydney Christoph Ralph
Gertig b1912; [2] Ivy Beatrice Gertig b1913 to parents Christos Emil Gertig and Beatrice Philips; [3] Edmond Morris Gertig b1914 to parents Christoph Emil Gertig and Beatrice Gertig; [4] Vincent George Gertig b1916; [5] Lloyd William Gertig b1915; [6] Florence May Gertig b1920; [7] Malcolm Edward Gertig b1922; [8] Dorothy Jean Gertig b1924; [9] Don Victor Gertig b1927 (2). His headstone says that Sydney Christoph Ralph Gertig was born on 20 June 1912 and died 13 Nov 1989; husband of Delce, father and father-in-law of Leone and John, he has a picture of a bicycle on the headstone, presumably his passion (4). Their headstone says that Vincent George Gertig died aged 55 yrs on 17 March 1972; his wife Olive May Gertig died aged 92 yrs on 24 June 2008; parents of John and Shane (5). There is no Vincent George Gertig Marriage Index at GenealogySA, and any births would be too recent for genealogy sites with their current 1928 cut off, so we must look elsewhere. Using Trove, we find: “Engagements: Harmer—Gertig: The engagement is announced of Olive M, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs John Harmer, of Ardrossan, to Vincent G, third son of Mr and Mrs CE Gertig, of Smlthfield” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 30 April 1942 p12 (6). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Sydney Christoph Ralph Gertig was born 20 Jun 1912 in Gawler to parents Christoph Emil Gertig and Beatrice Phillips (7), confirming the date of birth on his headstone. Still using RootsWeb, Vincent George Gertig was born on 16 Aug 1916 in Gawler to the same parents Christoph Emil Gertig and Beatrice Phillips (8), Olive May Harmer was born on 18 Aug 1915 in Maitland SA to parents John Harmer and Martha May Watson (9), and Beatrice Phillips was born on 17 Aug 1892 in Gawler to parents Edmund Phillips and Elizabeth Jacobs (10), meaning that Beatrice Phillips was the sister of Hilda May Phillips [see note 381] and they both married Gertig men. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gertig_christoph_emil_&_beatrice.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I262011&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gertig_sydney_christoph_ralph.jpg 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gertig_vincent_george_&_olive_may.jpg 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92374594?searchTerm=Vincent%20Olive%20Gertig&searchLimits= 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I512241 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I512247 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I526878 10 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I180032 1118 Bernard Edward Gertig died aged 54yrs on 22 Jan 1952; his wife Ivy Gertig died aged 76 yrs on 29 Jan 1971 (1). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Ivy Gertig was 78 yrs when she died (2), but I’m feeling that the final digit may be a 6, not an 8, and someone has written over it. An 8 usually has some pinching at the sides, which the left side of this one doesn’t have. The Bernard Edward Gertig Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Burra District in 1924, he was married to Ivy Lewis (3). The Ivy Lewis Birth Index shows two possible candidates. If Ivy was definitely aged 78 yrs and hence born c1893, then the likely one is Ivy Maud Lewis who was born in the Port Adelaide District in 1893 to parents Robert Reid and Theresa Lewis {taking the maternal surname} (3). However, if she was 76 yrs, then more likely is the Ivy Lewis who was born in the Burra District in 1896 to parents Frederick Lewis and Elizabeth Ann Nicholls (3). My preference is the latter, because of the consistent absence of a middle name; also the wedding in 1924 happening in the district of the bride’s family; and my concern over the age at death as mentioned above. However, it is conjecture and the evidence is not strong enough to alter the status quo. Interestingly, there were two children (up until 1928} [1] Henley Edward Gertig b1925 to parents Bernard Edward Gertig and Ivy Lewis in Adelaide; [2] Burnice Nelda Gertig b1928 to parents Bernard Edward Gertig and Ivy Lewis in Adelaide (3), again with Ivy not declaring a middle name. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Bernard Edward Gertig was born Bernhard Eduard Gertig on 17 Jul 1897 in Hd of English SA to parents Friedrich Gertig and Anna Holl (4), Ivy Maud Lewis was born on 14 Jun 1893 in Sandwell (now Port Adelaide) to parents Robert Reid and Theresa Lewis (5), and Ivy Lewis was born on 29 Jul 1896 in Renmark SA to parents Frederick Lewis and Elizabeth Ann Nicholls (6). “Deaths: Gertig: On January 22 (suddenly), at his residence, 21 Finnis street, Gawler, Bernard Edward, beloved husband of Ivy and loved father of Ted and Bernice, aged 54 years” The Advertiser, Wednesday 23 January 1952 p18 (7). I cannot find a newspaper engagement, wedding or birth notice for this family. According to the Australian War Memorial Website, Private Bernard Edward Gertig was a member of 10th Australian Infantry Battalion in the First World War (1914-1918) (8). The website of ‘The AIF Project’ says that Bernard Edward Gertig was a 18-year-old single labourer of “Endemda SA”, {which I rather think was actually “Eudunda”} with next of kin his sister (Mrs Hannah Eliz Eckert, Endemda) when he enlisted in 27th Battalion, 6th Reinforcement. He embarked from Adelaide on board HMAT A24 Benalla on 27 October 1915, as a member of 10th Battalion, and returned to Australia on 9 February 1919 (9). Bernard Edward Gertig was actually captured by Germans at Pozieres in Aug 1916 and was POW in Germany until he was repatriated to London in 1919, and thence on to Australia (10). We next see Bernard Edward Gertig on the World War Two Nominal Roll, where it says that he was born on 17 Jul 1897 at Point Pass SA and was living in Gawler when he enlisted in Keswick SA with next of kin Ivy Gertig. Private Gertig was discharged on 16 Jan 1942 from 4 Garrison (11), again Ivy has no middle name. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gertig_bernard_edward_&_ivy.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I731475 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I106777 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I106776 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47384131?searchTerm=Bernard%20gertig&searchLimits= 8 http://www.awm.gov.au/people/rolls/R1490611/ 9 https://www.aif.adfa.edu.au/showPerson?pid=109548 10 http://static.awm.gov.au/images/collection/pdf/RCDIG1044476--1-.PDF 11 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=701577 1119 Herbert John Gibb died aged 59 yrs on 30 June 1969 “Lest We Forget” (1), which reminds one of things military. With his year of birth c1910, WWII seems likely. The World War Two Nominal Roll says that Herbert John Gibb was born in Peterborough SA on 1 Mar 1910. He was living in Riverton SA when he elisted on 31 Mar 1942 in Adelaide in the Royal Australian Air Force, using Irene Gibb as next of kin. Corporal Gibb was discharged on 16 Aug 1946 from CMU (Pt Pirie) (2). As a cross-reference, a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Herbert John Gibb was born on 1 Mar 1910 in Petersburg (now Peterborough) to parents Archibald Gibb and Elizabeth Richards (3), confirming his date of birth, but not answering the question ‘Who was Irene Gibb’?. The Herbert John Gibb Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Frome District in 1934, he was married to Irene Elsie May Fisk (4). One wonders why his wife is not mentioned on his headstone. Details of the wedding are readily found:
“Marriages: Gibb— Fisk: On the 13th October, at Methodist Church, Peterborough, by Rev Pointon, Herbert John, second son of Mr and Mrs Gibb, of Peterborough, to Irene, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Fisk, Railway terrace, Peterborough” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 25 October 1934 p45 (5). “Social: Weddings: Gibb—Fisk: In the Methodist Church, Peterborough, Herbert, second son of Mr and Mrs A Gibb and Irene, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs H Fisk, both of Peterborough, were varried by the Rev JH Pointon. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a ..... The bridesmaids, Misses Mavis Fisk (sister of bride) and Audrey Richards, were frocked alike ...... Mr James Glbb (brother of bridegroom) and Mr Ron Fisk (brother of bride) were best man and groomsman” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 22 November 1934 p58 (6). They were still married when he enlisted in 1942, but it is unclear what happened after the war. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gibb_herbert_john.jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=R&veteranId=896089 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I512407 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/91073847?searchTerm=Irene%20Gibb&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/91075487?searchTerm=Irene Gibb&searchLimits= 1120 James Robertson Gibbon died aged 79 yrs on 19 June 2003; husband of ?May, father of ___ (1), unfortunately the photo of the headstone was taken downwards, not at the same level, which makes the writing at the bottom illegible, in fact most of the writing is hard to read for a relatively recent headstone. There is no James Robertson Gibbon Birth, Marriage or Death Index at GenealogySA, but the Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper since 1972 at least shows that the James Robertson (Jim) Gibbon funeral notice appeared on 21 June 2003 (2). Likewise, a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there is no James Robertson Gibbon, nor a James Gibbon Robertson, birth data at RootsWeb, so one must assume he was not born in SA. There is no James Robertson Gibbon on the World War Two Nominal Roll either, so I’m fast running out of options. He may not have been born in Australia, and a search on the National Archives of Australia website shows that James Robertson Gibbon was born 1 September 1923; Mary McClung Gibbon nee Black was born 14 September 1921; Peter Gibbon was born 3 November 1957; all travelled aboard the Arcadia, departing Tilbury on 11 March 1960 under the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme, showing they came from the UK (3). Now looking back at the headstone, it is possible that his wife’s name was Mary, not May, and ‘father of’ could be Peter and Rosemary (1), but it is very hard to read 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gibbon_james_robertson.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 3 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=7331107&isAv=N 1121 Henry H Gilbertson died aged 88 yrs on 13 Aug 1969; his wife Mary Gilbertson died aged 87 yrs on 19 Dec 1971 (1), making their respective years of birth c1881 and c1884. The Henry Gilbertson Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Henry Harold Gilbertson was married in Adelaide in 1916 to Mary Ann Palmer (2), and the ‘all Gilbertson’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Henry Harold Gilbertson and Mary Ann Palmer shows just one birth [1] Lorna Gilbertson b1916 in Adelaide to parents Henry Harold Gilbertson and Mary Ann Palmer (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Henry Harold Gilbertson was born on 14 May 1881 in Peachy Belt SA to parents Joseph Gilbertson and Georgiana White (3), and Mary Ann Palmer was born on 20 Oct 1884 in Salisbury, Adelaide to parents Thomas Palmer and Ann Brown (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gilbertson_henry_h_&_mary.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I732922 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I185029 1122 Emma Glastonbury died aged 50 yrs on 27 Dec 1880; her husband Henry Glastonbury died aged 79 yrs {in his 80th yr} on 13 Oct 1910; their sons Henry James Glastonbury died aged 41 yrs {in his 42nd yr} on 17 June 1897; and George Edward Glastonbury died aged 72 yrs and 7 mths on 27 March 1930 (1). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Henry James Glastonbury died aged 42 yrs on 17 June 1891 (2), but I think that headstone reads he died in 1897. The Henry James Glastonbury Death Index at GenealogySA shows that he died in the Port Gawler District in 1897 (3), confirming my reading of the headstone. There is no Henry Glastonbury Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so a search on the ‘all Glastonbury’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Henry Glastonbury and Emma __ shows two children born to Henry Glastonbury and Emma Park, both in the Port Gawler District [1] Emma Uley Glastonbury b1860; [2] Sarah Ann Glastonbury b1864 (3). The Henry Glastonbury Obituary says he arrived in SA c1860: “Deaths: The late Mr Henry Glastonbury, of Gawler South, who died on the 13th inst, was an old and respected resident of this neighborhood. He was born in Gloucestershire 79 years ago and had spent half a century in this State. Before arriving in Gawler about 40 years ago, he lived at Uley Bury for a time. Mr Glastonbury was a loyal member of the Baptist Church and a life deacon. The remains were taken into the church prior to the interment and a short service was conducted by the Rev ES Tuckwell BA. One son (Mr George Glastonbury) and one daughter (Miss Glastonbury survive” Bunyip, Friday 21 October 1910 p2 (4). This implies that Henry James Glastonbury and George Edward Glastonbury would have been before their arrival in SA, and hence not on the birth records of GenealogySA. As Emma Uley Glastonbury died aged 7 yrs in in 1867, and Henry James Glastonbury died in 1897, that would leave his son George and a daughter when Henry died in 1910, as it says in his Obituary. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Emma Uley Glastonbury was born on 24 Apr 1860 at Uley Farm SA to parents Henry Glastonbury and Emma Park (5), and Sarah Ann Glastonbury was born on 9 Mar 1864 at Uley to parents Henry Glastonbury and Emma Park (6). Despite searching, I haven’t found the exact dates of birth of the four Glastonbury family members born in the UK. On a website belonging to the Uniersity of SA, there is a list of Gawler teachers, from1856-1942, and it shows that Sarah A Glastonbury was a registered schoolteacher in Gawler for the years 1879 – 1890 (7). Emma Uley Glastonbury died aged 6 yrs {in her 7th yr} on 13 Oct 1867; Sarah Ann Glastonbury died aged 81 yrs on 16 Aug 1945 (8). The G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Sarah Ann Glastonbury died in 1946 (2), but it looks more like 1945 to me, and this would be more consistent with her stated age of 81 yrs. The Sarah Ann Glastonbury Death Index at GenealogySA confirms that she died in Gawler in 1945 (3). “Deaths: Glastonbury: On August 16, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Sarah Ann Glastonbury, of Gawler South, beloved cousin of William J Dealey, of Seventh street. Gawler South; aged 81 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 23 August 1945 p18 (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/eg/glastonbury_emma,_henry,_henry_james_&_george_edward.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97722962?searchTerm=Henry%20glastonbury&searchLimits=l-title=371

The Alfred Raydon Glazbrook Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows in the Daly District in 1919, he was married to Emily Matilda Cook (3). The ‘all Glazbrook’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Alfred Raydon Glazbrook and Emily Matilda Cook shows that up till 1928, there were 5 births, all in the Daly District [1] Joyce Gladys Glazbrook b1919; [2] Darcy Ray Glazbrook b1920; [3] Keith William Glazbrook b1924; [4] Phylis Amy Glazbrook b1926; [5] Coral Mae Glazbrook b1928 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Alfred Raydon Glazbrook was born on 29 May 1895 in Wasleys SA to parents Harry Harford and Emma Glazbrook nee Jarmyn (4), and Emily Matilda Cook was born on 24 Jun 1899 in Minlaton SA to parents William David Cook {born 30 May 1861 at Stockyards SA} and Amy Matilda Lane {born c1868} (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/glazbrook_alfred_raydon.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/glazbrook_emily_matilda.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I735097 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I377864 1124 Thomas Patrick Gleeson died aged 88 yrs on 15 March 1978; his wife Catherine Gleeson died aged 82 yrs on 23 Nov 1981 (1), making their respective years of birth c1890 and c1899. Thomas Patrick Gleeson Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Gilbert District in 1936, he was married to Catherine Travers (2), and the corresponding Birth Index shows that in the Frome District in 1890 Thomas Patrick Gleeson was born to parents William James Gleeson and Mary Teresa Carey (2). The ‘all Gleeson’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William James Gleeson and Mary Teresa Carey shows 14 children were born to this couple, all but one in the Frome District [1] Hanora Mary Gleeson b1885; [2] James Gleeson b1886 (in the Kapunda District); [3] John Joseph Gleeson b1887; [4] Thomas Patrick Gleeson b1890; [5] Winifred Agnes Gleeson b1891; [6] William James Gleeson b1893; [7] Mary Ann Gleeson b1894; [8] Elizabeth Rose Gleeson b1896; [9] Teresa Gertrude Gleeson b1898; [10] Margaret Eileen Gleeson b1900; [11] Ellen Beatrice Gleeson b1902; [12] Leo Michael Gleeson b1903; [13] Ethel Alice Gleeson b1906; [14] Catherine Maria Gleeson b1909 (2). Thomas Patrick Gleeson therefore didn’t have a brother David Gleeson. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Thomas Patrick Gleeson was born on 16 Mar 1890 in Yanyarrie SA (now Carrieton) to parents William James Gleeson and Mary Teresa Carey (3), and Catherine Travers was born 12 Mar 1899 in Carrieton to parents Nicholas Travers and Margaret Barrett (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gleeson_thomas_patrick_&_catherine.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I735218 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I161737 1125 Delia Patricia Gleeson died aged 72 yrs on 1 April 1972; David Gleeson died aged 85 yrs on 26 Jan 1980 (1), making their respective years of birth c1900 and c1895. Were they married, or siblings, or cousins? The David Gleeson Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that David Francis Gleeson was married in the Norwood District in 1933 to Delia Patricia Shinnick (2), and the corresponding Birth Index shows that David Gleeson was born in the Frome District in 1894 to parents Richard John Gleeson and Margaret Young (2). The ‘all Gleeson’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Richard John Gleeson and Margaret Young shows 3 children, all born in the Frome District [1] James Gleeson b1893; [2] David Gleeson b1894; [3] John Brendon Gleeson b1896 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that David Gleeson was born on 11 Oct 1894 in Yanyarrie SA (now Carrieton) to parents Richard John Gleeson and Margaret Young (3), but Delia Patricia Shinnick has no birth records on RootsWeb, not even if I search just on the first names ‘Delia Patricia”. As both Thomas Patrick Gleeson and David Gleeson [see Note 1124] were born in Yanyarrie SA (now Carrieton) but to different parents, it is possible that their fathers were related, even brothers. A search of Delia Patricia Shinnick on the NSW Births, Marriages and Deaths website shows that she was born in the Broken Hill District in 1899 to parents John G and Kathleen P Shinnick (4). “Port Pirie: Returning Officer: Cr Herbert. For Mayor: MC Copinger, solicitor; Alfred Parker, saddler. For Auditor: Alfred E Brett, clerk; JR Hendry, insurance agent.

'Well,' was the reply, 'about 6½ years ago I practically took the huff at the treatment I had received, and left for Port Pirie, vowing that I would drop the movement for the future. I had not gone far, however, when I began to feel sorry for my hasty action, for a man must expect sacrifice in our movement. When I reached Pirie, a general election was taking place, and I found myself battling and barracking for our fellows .... ” Port Pirie Recorder and North Western Mail, Wednesday 18 November 1908 p4 (6). Delia Patricia Shinnick was born in Broken Hill NSW, but the family soon after went to live in Port Pirie. “Births: Gleeson (nee Delia Shinnick): On the 23rd June, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler— a son” The Advertiser, Thursday 28 June 1934 p8 (7). No luck with her actual date of birth, until I found an Ancestry.com website that said that Delia Patricia Shinnick was born in Broken Hill on 2 Nov 1899 to John George Shinnick {1856-1921} and Kathleen Fitzgerald (8). Still using that website, John George Shinnick was born in Adelaide in 1856 to John James Shinnick {1821-1888} and Ellen Theresa Fitzgerald {1833-1903}. John George Shinnick married Kathleen Fitzgerald and had 6 children. He died on 9 May 1921 in Adelaide. The children of John George Shinnick and Kathleen Fitzgerald were [1] William Patrick Shinnick (1890-1917); [2] George Edmund Shinnick (1891-1891); [3] Kathleen Shinnick (1892-1893); [4] Delia Patricia Shinnick (b1899); [5] Ellen Shinnick (b1902); [6] Gerald Joseph Shinnick (b1903) (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gleeson_delia_patricia_&_david.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I735174 4 https://familyhistory.bdm.nsw.gov.au/lifelink/familyhistory/search/result?3 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/56692840?searchTerm=John%20shinnick%20Pirie&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/95448188?searchTerm=John%20shinnick%20Pirie&searchLimits=

Isabella Glen, wife of Thomas Glen, died aged 32 yrs on 6 Oct 1864; her son George James Glen died aged 5 mths and 20 days {ie, 25 wks} on 26 Jan 1859; her daughter Isabella Anne Glen died aged 12 months on 10 Dec 1860 (1). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Isabella Glen died aged 52 yrs in 1861, but I think it reads that she died aged 32 yrs in 1864. On the Index of names at the first Gawler Cemetery George James Glen died aged 5 months in 1859; Isabella Anne Glen died aged 12 months in 1860; and Isabella Glen died aged 32 yrs in 1864 (3), confirming my observations. The Thomas Glen Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Thomas William Glen was married in the Grey District in 1857 to Isabella Pile (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that George James Glen was born on 6 Aug 1858 in Compton SA to parents Thomas William Glen {born abt 1838} and Isabella Pile {born abt 1832} (5), Isabella Anne Glen was born Isabella Anne Glenn[sic] on 10 Dec 1859 in Mount Gambier SA to parents Thomas William Glenn and Isabella Pile (6), and Thomas William Glen was born abt 1838 to father George Glen. He was married aged 27 yrs at the residence of David Power, Mount Gambier on the 8 Oct 1857 to Isabella Pile aged 25 yrs to father James Pile. The children of Thomas William Glen and Isabella Pile were [1] George James Glen born 6 Aug 1858 Compton SA; [2] Isabella Anne Glenn born 10 Dec 1859 Mount Gambier SA; [3] Thomas William Glen b: 15 Sep 1864 in Murbko SA (7). “Married: On the 8th inst, at Mount Gambier, by the Rev D M'Calman, Thomas William Glen, Esq, third son of the late G Glen, Esq, of London, to Isabella, second daughter of James Pile, Esq, formerly of Glasgow” The Argus (Melbourne), Thursday 22 Oct 1857 p4 (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/glen_isabella,_george_james_&_isabella_anne.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://headstones.weebly.com/uploads/9/5/2/0/952055/gawler_old_cemetery_name_index.pdf 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I735247 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I735290 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I416351 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/7140823 Annie Hazel Gniel was born on 26 Feb 1906 and died 21 Feb 1978, {a few days before her 72nd birthday} (1); her husband Mark Louis Gniel was born on 20 Sept 1903 and died on 29 Aug 1988 (2). The Mark Gniel Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Clare District in 1935, Mark Louis Gniel was married to Annie Hazel Pollard (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Mark Louis Gniel was born on 20 Sep 1903 in Concordia SA to parents Albert Henry Gniel and Anna Henriette Dorothea Eggers (4), and Annie Hazel Pollard was born on 26 Feb 1906 in Jamestown SA to parents Alfred James Pollard and Sarah Jane McAskill (5). “Approaching Marriages: Pollard —Gniel: The marriage of Hazel, daughter of Mr and Mrs AJ Pollard, of Jamestown, to Mark, son of Mrs E Lane and the late Mr AH Gniel, of Sandy Creek, will be solemnised at the Presbyterian Church, Jamestown, on Saturday, June 1st, at 6 pm” The Advertiser, Saturday 25 May 1935 p20 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gniel_annie_hazel.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gniel_mark_louis.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I725646 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I233742 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/37290266?searchTerm=Gniel Pollard&searchLimits= Benjamin Gobell died aged 81 yrs on 14 May 1977; his wife Lorna Irene Gobell died aged 94 yrs on 2 June 1990; there is some writing at the base of their headstone, partly obscured by some flowers “Re__ mother of Keith, Ray, Aileen, Reg and __ “ (1). The Benjamin Gobell Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Yankalilla District in 1921, Benjamin Laurence Roland Gobell was married to Lorna Irene Roper (2). The ‘all Gobell’ Birth Index at GenelogySA seeking offspring of Benjamin Laurence Roland Gobell and Lorna Irene Roper shows the birth of 4 children before the 1928 cut-off at GenealogySA, with variations in spelling of Laurence / Lawrence and Roland / Rolland [1] Keith Stanley Gobell b1922 in the Flinders District; [2] Raymond Glen Gobell b1924 in the Flinders District; [3] Aileen May Gobell b1926 in the Flinders District; [4] Reginald Neil Gobell b1928 in the Barossa District (2). On his headstone, Reginald Neil Gobell was born on 12 Oct 1928 and died on 24 Sept 2004; husband of Helen Daveda Gobell nee Lorke, father of Kim, Ann and Sara (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Benjamin Laurence Roland Gobell was born on 1 May 1896 in Corconda nr Hamley Bridge SA to parents Benjamin Gobell and Lillias Christie (4), and Lorna Irene Roper was born on 11 Feb 1896 in Delamere SA to parents John Roper and Maria Norman (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gobell_benjamin_&_lorna_irene.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gobell_reginald_neil.jpg 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I735691 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I213402 Ivy Godin died on 28 March 1975; her husband Joseph Godin died aged 82 yrs on 28 June 1976; parents of Dorothy and Barry, aged 73 yrs which most likely applies to Ivy Godin’s age at death (1). The only reference at GenealogySA to Joseph Godin is on their Newspaper Death Notices Index which says that Joseph Millington (Joe) Godin had his death notice in the Advertiser in 1976 (2), the ‘all Godin’ Newspaper Death Notices Index shows that the Ivy Sophia Godin death notice was in the Advertiser 1975 (2). On the National Archives of Australia website, we find that Barry Joseph Godin born 7 Feb 1929; Lena Mary Godin nee Rogers born 25 Jan 1932; Wendy Teresa Godin born 25 Oct 1955; Beverley June Godin born 1 Sept 1958 all travelled aboard the Stratheden departing Tilbury on 2 March 1962 under the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme (3). If this is Barry Godin, son of Ivy and Joseph as it says on the headstone, then Ivy and Joseph would also have come out from the UK after they had had their family, and would explain the dearth of birth and marriage data recorded in SA. There is also Milton Joseph Godin born 11 Nov 1927; Mary Constance Godin nee Fernandez born 15 May 1919 who seem to have arrived in 1969 (4), and it could be that Milton Joseph Godin was related to Barry Joseph Godin, not a brother as he is not mentioned as such on the headstone. On a GenForum website: “Trying to find any information on my grandparents” posted by ‘wendy harris/strudwick nee godin’ in 2002, who says that she is ‘granddaughter of Joseph Millington Godin born on 20 July 1884[sic], ..... My grandmother was Ivy Sophia Alexandra Godin nee Clarke and or Partridge. The last address in London was 61 Alexandra Drive, Surbiton before they emigrated to Australia, settling in Adelaide” (5). The poster probably was Wendy Teresa Harris formerly Strudwick nee Godin born 25 Oct
1955 in UK and came to Australia with her family in 1962. This establishes a link between the Barry Godin family and his parents, although if the date of birth she quotes for Joseph Millington Godin is correct, he was 92 yrs old when he died, not 82 yrs. The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appearded in the Advertiser newspaper says that one for Ivy Sophia Godin appeared on 31 March 1975; and for Joseph Millington Godin on 30 June 1976 (6), and these confirm the dates on the headstone as belonging to Ivy and Joseph Godin. But they don’t confirm Ivy’s maiden name. The posting by Wendy Harris above says that Ivy’s maiden name was Clarke and or Partridge, which is confusing, but may indicate that Ivy had been married twice. On a RootsWeb site of Ancestry.com there is discussion of James Philip Godin from the UK. “The parents of James Philip Godin born 1865 in Mile End, New Town (but registered in Whitechapel) were John Philip Godin born 1836, weaver; and Ann Wynn born 1839, who were married at St Matthews, Bethnal Green on 15 July 1860. Ann's father on the marriage certificate was John Wynn, sailor. John's parents were John Philip Godin born 1802 Bethnal Green, died 1873 Whitechapel; and Mary Ann Morrish born 1809 Stepney. I have no information on Mary's parents, but John Philip Godin's were Philip Godin born 1775 and Sarah Bramley born c1775. .... Philip Godin born 1775 had another son Philip Godin born 1805 .... James Philip Godin born 1865 had a younger sister Ada Susannah B Godin born 1879 Whitechapel who married Joseph Millington Rawe 1901 at Camberwell. I presume Joseph Millington Rawe and James Philip's wife Elizabeth Rawe were related somehow. ... James and Elizabeth had sons James J Godin b 1888, William Henry Godin b 189, Joseph Millington Godin b 1893, Albert Ernest W Godin b 1895 and Frank Kimberley Godin b 1901 and daughters Elizabeth Annie Godin b 1889 and Alice Ada Godin b 1899 ...” On another Ancestry website, “Philip (or Phillip) Godin (or Goden) are my great-great-great-great-grandparents and they are my ‘brick wall’. I would love to have some information about their parents and siblings. They married 1 Nov 1793 St Dunstan Stepney and had offspring: [1] Sarah Godin (b 8/5/1797, christened 29/5/1797 Christ Church Spitalfields); [2] Mary Godin (b 7/10/1799 christened 27/10/1799 St Matthew Bethnal Green); [3] John Philip Godin (b 21/5/1802 christened 13/6/1802 St Matthew Bethnal Green d 1873 Whitechapel)(married Mary Ann Morrish 31/12/1826 St Dunstan Stepney); [4] Philip Godin (b 29/4/1805 christened 19/5/1805 St Matthew Bethnal Green)(married Susannah Godin 16/12/1827 St Dunstan Stepney)(Susannah b 1806 d 1891)(they are my great-great-great-grandparents); [5] James Godin (born 1813?); [6] Henry Godin (born after 1813?) (8). Still on that website, another poster says that “James Philip Godin was my great grandfather b1865 in Whitechapel and married Elizabeth Rawe in1886.Their 4th child Joseph Millington was my mother's father.I am unable to locate them prior to 1901 when they lived at 64 Hornby Rd, Camberwell. I have had no luck finding James parents ...... I live in Australia where the familt came in 1962. Joseph died here in 1976. I know that the 3rd child William Henry died in 1944. Elizabeth (my great aunt Lizzie) to whom I was very close, died in Southend. .. James may have had a younger sister called Ada Susannah, who married Joseph Millington Rawe in 1901 and had son Joey ... “ (9). All this background but it really hasn’t helped us prove Ivy’s maiden name or their precise dates of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/godin_ivy_&_joseph.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=7334004&isAv=N 4 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=7662117&isAv=N 5 http://genforum.genealogy.com/godin/messages/234.html 6 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 7 http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/GODIN/2003-12/1072221419 8 http://boards.ancestry.ie/surnames.godin/131/mb.ashx 9 http://boards.ancestry.ie/surnames.godin/131.1.1/mb.ashx 1130 Lloyd James Golding died aged 79 yrs on 26 Oct 1978, father of Joan and Phyllis (1), but there’s no mention of having had a wife. The Lloyd James Golding Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows 2 marriages for Lloyd James Golding. The first marriage was in Adelaide in 1924 to Ellen Patrica Howard. The second marriage was also in Adelaide in 1932 to Sylvia Marion Hampton (2). The ‘all Golding’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Lloyd James Golding firstly shows that he was born in the Norwood District in 1899 to parents Solomon Golding and Martha Jane Hobbs. There were 2 children born to parents Lloyd James Golding and Ellen Patrica Howard [1] Phyllis Patrica Golding b1924 in the Norwood District; [2] Joan Mary Golding b1926 in the Adelaide District (2). The 1930 divorce: “In the Civil Court on Thursday the Chief Justice (Sir George Murray) granted decrees nisi in the following petitions for divorce: .... By Lloyd James Golding, laborer, of Bigg's Flat, against Ellen Patricia Golding, of Trennery-court, Adelaide, for alleged misconduct with Milton Hill of the latter address, who was named as co-respondent.. ....” The Advertiser, Friday 12 December 1930 p6 (3). The Ellen Patricia Golding Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in Adelaide in 1932, she was married to Milton Frederick William Hill (2). The Sylvia Marion Golding Death Index shows that she died in the Angaston District in 1947, with her nominated relative her husband Lloyd James Golding (2), and the Sylvia Marion Golding South Australia Cemeteries Index at GenealogySA shows that she was buried aged 50 yrs in 1947 in the Mount Pleasant St Johns Anglican Cemetery (2). “Deaths: Golding: On June 5, at her residence, Murrayland, Mount Pleasant, Sylvia Marion, dearly beloved wife of Lloyd James Golding, and loving mother of Gloria and Joan, aged 50 years” The Advertiser, Friday 6 June 1947 p20 (4), actually she was step-mother to Gloria and Joan. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Lloyd James Golding was born 13 Nov 1899 in Norwood, Adelaide to parents Solomon Golding and Martha Jane Hobbs (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/golding_lloyd_james.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/73832630?searchTerm=Lloyd%20Golding&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35980248?searchTerm=%22Lloyd%20James%22%20Golding&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I736651 1131 Edward Goodfellow died aged 85 yrs on 20 Jan 1930; his wife Susan Goodfellow died aged 89 yrs on 7 April 1930 (1), making their respective years of birth c1845 and c1841. The Edward Goodfellow Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Gilbert District in 1864, Edward Goodfellow was married to Susan Collins (2), and the ‘all Goodfellow’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Edward Goodfellow and Susan Collins shows at least 4 children, all born in the Gilbert District [1] Ellen Goodfellow b1865; [2] James Goodfellow b1867; [3] Emily Goodfellow b1871; [4] Edward Goodfellow b1873 (2). Emily Goodfellow died aged 84 yrs on 31 May 1955 shares a headstone with Ellen Lutt who died aged 89 yrs on 1 March 1955 (1), and is the right age to be Ellen Goodfellow, born in 1865, the older sister of of Emily. The Ellen Goodfellow Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in 1888 in the Gilbert District, shw was married to Otto James Adolph (2), and the Ellen Adolph Marriage Index shows she was married in the Barossa District in 1906 to Henry Lutt (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Emily Goodfellow was born on 7 Jun 1871 in Marrabel SA to parents Edward Goodfellow and Susan Collins (4), and unsurprisingly there are no birth records for Edward Goodfellow and Susan Collins at RootsWeb for those early years of the colony. They more likely were born elsewhere. According to data on the LDS
website, Edward Goodfellow was born abt 1844 (parents Henry and Emily Goodfellow), and died on 20 Jan 1930 in Gawler South SA. Edward Goodfellow had resided in Marrabel, Gilbert, and Saddleworth, and was married on 3 Oct 1864 in Saddleworth to Susan Collins (born abt 1841, died on 17 Apr 1930 Gawler South). The children of Edward Goodfellow and Susan Collins were [1] Ellen Lutt formerly Adolph nee Goodfellow born 29 Sep 1865 nr Riverton SA, died 1 Mar 1955 SA; [2] James Goodfellow born 29 Jun 1867 nr Riverton; [3] Peter Goodfellow born 1868, died 27 Jul 1950 SA: [4] Emily Goodfellow born 7 Jun 1871 Marrabel SA; [5] Edward Goodfellow born 20 Nov 1873 nr Marrabel, died 25 Apr 1941 SA; [6] Susan Luhrmann nee Goodfellow born 5 Nov 1875 SA, died 17 Jun 1943 SA (5). Unfortunately the precise dates of birth for Edward and Susan Goodfellow remain elusive 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goodfellow_edward_&_susan.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goodfellow_emily.jpg 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I930 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I222292&tree=SouthAustralia 1132 Mary Goodman died aged 69 yrs on 15 Jan 1883; her husband Nicholas Goodman died at his residence ‘Ashfield’ near Salisbury aged 81 yrs on 26 July 1886; their son Thomas Goodman died aged 52 yrs on 25 July 1894 (1). According to the information on the LDS website, Nicholas Goodman was born in 1805 in Gwennap, Cornwall, England and died on 26 Jul 1886 at Gawler Plains SA. Nicholas Goodman arrived in 1848 aboard the Westminster and was a wheelwright, blacksmith, farmer residing at ‘Ashfield’ Gawler Plains. He was married before 1837 to Mrs Mary Goodman {unknown maiden name} who was born in 1813 Cornwall, died on 15 Jan 1883 in Adelaide SA. The children of Nicholas and Mary Goodman included [1] William Goodman born 24 Sep 1837 Ponsanooth, Cornwall, England, died 29 May 1909 Salisbury SA; [2] Thomas Goodman born 1842 Cornwall, England, died 25 Jul 1894 Ashfield; [3] Mary Ann Sampson nee Goodman born 1843, Cornwall, England, died 1917 SA; [4] Unnamed Goodman 1847 presumably stillborn or died soon after birth (2). Further information about the family of Nicholas and Mary Goodman [1] William Goodman was married on 23 Apr 1863 at One Tree Hill to Mary Sampson, and his second marriage was on 5 Apr 1871 in North Adelaide to Jane Williams; [3] Mary Ann Goodman was married on 24 Sep 1863 in Brompton SA to Nicholas Sampson (3). Still using LDS data, Jane Williams was born on 1 Feb 1843 at Newtown, Wales, and died 19 Aug 1933 SA. She was married aged 27 yrs on 5 Apr 1871 in North Adelaide to William Goodman, widower, aged 33 yrs (born 24 Sep 1837 at Ponsanooth, Cornwall, England, died 29 May 1909 Salisbury SA). The children of Jane Williams and William Goodman, all born at Gawler Plains, include [1] Kate Morris Goodman born 8 May 1872: [2] Ada Jane Goodman born 14 Feb 1874; [3] William John Goodman born 30 Oct 1875; [4] Elsie Maria Goodman born 14 Jul 1877; [5] Charles Howard Goodman born 15 Sep 1879; [6] Mabel Mary Goodman born 15 Feb 1883 (4). On a Website describing the passenger list for the Westminster from London 20 March 1848 via Plymouth - Captain Forbes Michie, arrived Port Adelaide on 5 July 1848. The South Australian Register Newspaper (July 8, 1848) reported: “This arrival, on Wednesday last, has added 247 souls to our population, and we believe there has seldom been as instance where so many persons previously inexperienced in nautical affairs and their captain have been so well pleased with each other. The emigrants describe the conduct of the captain towards them as fatherly and indulgent; and the worthy commander assures us that they were orderly and wellbehaved throughtout the voyage. The Surgeon-Super-Superintendent is also highly lauded, and the admirable condition and orderly conduct which distinguished the ship and her free passengers on arrival, confer the utmost credit on all concerned. There were no cabin passengers. The department from Plymouth having taken place on March 20th, 1848 the Westminster was only 107 days on the passage. She crossed the Line on May 1st and did not touch any port after leaving England. Two adults and eight young children or infants died on the passage, and there were six births. There were eighty-one male and the same number of female adults”. Amongst the passengers were Nicholas Goodman, and wife and four children, from Plymouth (5). The exact dates of birth of Mary Goodman {and her maiden name}, Nicholas Goodman and their son Thomas Goodman remain shrouded in the mystery of non-public records 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goodman_mary,_nicholas_&_thomas.jpg 2 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I143703&tree=SouthAustralia 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F42943&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I143696&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/passengerlists/1848Westminster.htm 1133 Wladyslawa Gorny died aged 78 yrs on 4 Sept 1987; her husband Marian Jozef Gorny died aged 84 yrs on 28 Dec 1997 (1), making their respective years of birth c1909 and c1913.

The Thomas Henry Goss Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1905 to Mary Ann Lemmey (2), and the Thomas Henry Goss Birth Index shows that in the Willunga District in 1873, he was born to parents William Lawry Goss and Ellen Strong Chapple (2). The ‘all Goss’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Lawry Goss and Ellen Strong Chapple shows the birth of at least 11 children, the first 2 born in the Willunga District, the last 9 all born in the Barossa District, with parents included each time to show the variations in spelling [1] Gertrude May Goss b1872 to parents William Lawry Goss and Ellen Strong Chapple; [2] Thomas Henry Goss b1873 to parents William Lawry Goss and Ellen Strong Chapple; [3] Lilley Goss b1874 to parents William Savary Goss and Hellen Chapple; [4] Esther Goss b1875 to parents William Goss and Ellen Chappel; [5] Margaret Goss b1878 to parents William Lawry Goss and Ellen Chapple; [6] Henrietta Mary Goss b1880 to parents William Lawrie Goss and Ellen Strang Chapel; [7] Alice Goss b1882 to parents William Lawry Goss and Ellen Chappel; [8] William Goss b1885 to parents William Lawry Goss and Ellen Strong Chapel; [9] Ernest Edwin Goss b1887 to parents William Lawrie Goss and Ellen Strong Chapple; [10] Abert George Goss b1889 to parents William Lawrie Goss and Ellen Chapple; [11] Ellen Calarissa Goss b1890 to parents William Lawry Goss and Ellen Strong Chappel (2), showing two siblings buried in Willaston, Thomas Henry and Ernest Edwin Goss. On his headstone, Ernest Edwin Goss died aged 55 yrs on 11 Aug 1942 (3). The ‘all Goss’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Thomas Henry Goss and Mary Ann Lemmey, shows 7 children born to this couple, but none are buried (at least as with the surname Goss) at Willaston [1] Richard Henry Mervin Goss b1906 in the Barossa District; [2] Ellen Oriole Goss b1908 in the Barossa District; [3] Albert Clarence Goss b1910 in the Port Gawler District; [4] Maple Althea Goss b1912 in the Port Gawler District; [5] Avis Essington Goss b1913 in the Port Gawler District; [6] Joyce Yvonne Goss b1919 in the Barossa District; [7] Gwenyth Noreen Goss b1921 in the Barossa District (2).

On his plaque, Douglas Walter Goss was born 15 Dec 1931 and died 19 Oct 2000, father of Julianne, with no wife mentioned (2). The Victor John Vincent Goss Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1929 he married Doris Elsie Lawler (3), and the corresponding Birth Index shows that in the Barossa District in 1905, Victor John Vincent Goss was born to parents Walter Goss and Mina Dominica Gangell (3). The ‘all Goss’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Walter Goss and Mina Dominica Gangell shows the birth of 4 children to Walter Goss and Mina Dominica Gangell (with the various spellings of mother’s name in brackets) [1] Victor John Vincent Goss b1905 (Mina Dominica Gangell) in the Barossa District; [2] Walter Stanley Goss b1906 (Minna Dominican Gangell) in the Daly District; [3] Audrey Lavinia Goss b1908 (Minna Dominica Gangell) in the Daly District; [4] Ross Richard Thomas Goss b1911 (Minna Dominican Gangell) in the Nairne District (3), showing that Victor Goss’s younger brother Walter Stanley Goss is also buried at Willaston. On their headstone, Eva Ellen Goss died aged 59 yrs on 27 July 1971; her husband Walter Stanley Goss died aged 67 yrs on 12 July 1974, parents of Neville and Daryl (4). The Walter Stanley Goss Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in Gawler in 1935 to Eva Ellen Jarmyn (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Victor John Vincent Goss was born on 18 May 1905 in Lyndoch SA to parents Walter Goss and Mina Dominica Gangell (5), Walter Stanley Goss was born on 16 Oct 1906 in Snowtown SA to parents Walter Goss and Minna Dominican Gangell (6), Doris Elsie Lawler was born on 30 Apr 1909 in Gawler SA to parents Jeffery Charles Lawler and Elizabeth Milton (7), and Eva Ellen Jarmyn was born on 3 Jul 1912 in Mallala SA to parents James Jarmyn and Ellen Rebecca House (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goss_doris_&_victor_john_vincent.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goss_douglas_walter.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/goss_eva_ellen_&_walter_stanley.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I725981 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I725982 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I568239 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I550454 Elizabeth Rebecca Gould was born at County __ England in 1837 and died at Gawler 1885 (1). The Elizabeth Rebecca Gould Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when she died in the Port Gawler District in 1885, the nominated relative was her father Henry Gould (2), implying that she still was using her maiden name, so she was most likely unmarried. The ‘all Gould’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Henry Gould show none before 1880, so it is likely when Henry Gould came to SA his family were already born. There is no Henry Gould Death Index at SA, so we need to look elsewhere for information about this family. The LDS website is of no help when searching for a Henry Gould. According to the Town of Gawler website, Elizabeth R Gould aged 29 yrs who last resided in Gawler Plains was buried on 26 Dec 1885 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 33 O 1, with Rev S Howard officiating (4). If she was only 29 yrs old when she died, maybe the headstone date is 1857, not 1837. There is very little else to find on this family. Was she aged 29 yrs as the Willaston Burial Register says, or aged 48 as it says on the headstone, assuming the year of birth is 1837 and not as I suspect 1857. And why is there so little about her in the newspapers. The 1885 year of her death seems correct, as corroborated at GenealogySA and also on the Town of Gawler website 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gould_elizabeth_rebecca.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/158103230?searchTerm=Elizabeth%20Rebecca%20Gould&searchLimits= 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30319 Ethel May Gould died aged 80 yrs on 11 July 1971, mother of Keith and Ronald (1), making her estimated year of birth c1891. The Ronald Gould Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Kapunda District in 1920, Ronald George Gould was born to parents William Thomas Gould and Ethel May Hockley (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that William Thomas Gould was born on 5 Feb 1881 at Gum Creek SA to parents George Gould {born abt 1819} and Isabella Williams {born abt 1838} (3), Ethel May Hockley was born on 29 Mar 1891 in Belair SA to parents James Hookley[sic] {James Hockley was born on 18 Aug 1857 in Athelstone, Adelaide} and Ellen Tremwith[sic] { Ellen Trenwith was born 5 Sept 1857 Magill, Adelaide} (4). The ‘all Hockley’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of James Hockley and Ellen Tremwith shows 11 children were born to James Hockley and Ellen Trenwith (with spelling variations in brackets when they occur) [1] James George Hockley b1878 in the Daly District; [2] William Albert Hockley b1880 (mother Ellen Trewick) in the Daly District; [3] Peter Trenwith Hockley b1882 in the Daly District; [4] Susan Ellen Hockley b1884 in Adelaide; [5] Louisa Ada Hockley b1886 in the Nairne District; [6] Herbert Harrold Hockley b1888 (mother Helen Trenwith) in the Nairne District; [7] Frances Maud Hockley b1889 in the Wellington District; [8] Ethel May Hookley[sic] b1891 (parents James Hookley and Ellen Tremwith) in Adelaide; [9] Samuel Thomas Hockley b1893 in Adelaide; [10] Ivy Pearl Alvina Hockley b1897 (mother Ellen Trinwith) in Adelaide; [11] Doris Muriel Hockley b1901 in Adelaide (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gould_ethel_may.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I2030 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I34020 Angeline Forbes Grace died aged 9 mths and 1 day on 20 Sept 1855; and has had her headstone moved from Gawler’s first cemetery now known as Pioneer Park, and placed in Willaston Cemetery. The Angeline Forbes Grace Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that she was born in the Adelaide District in 1857 to parents Alexander Grace and Jessie Jackson (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Angeline Forbes Grace was born on 19 Dec 1857 in Gawler SA to
Alexander Grace and Jessie Jackson (3). This confirms that she was 9 months and 1 day old when she died on 20 Sept 1858. As discussed in Note 307, Mary Ann Grace died aged 70 yrs on 28 Sept 1869; Patrick Grace aged 72 yrs died 29 April 1872; and they share their headstone with Bernard Farrell who died on 2 Feb 1870 (4). Are Mary Ann and Patrick Grace a married couple, siblings or otherwise related? The LDS website unfortunately doesn’t have information about them. A Google search for Mary Ann and Patrick Grace shows a Geni website that tells us that Mary Ann Grace nee Dwyer was born in 1799 in County Wicklow, Ireland and died on 28 Sept 1869 in Sheoak Log SA. Her parents were Michael and Mary Dwyer, and her siblings were John Dwyer; Peter Dwyer; Esther Byrne nee Dwyer; James Dwyer; Brigid Dwyer; and Elizabeth Dwyer. Mary Dwyer was first married William Hughes and had a son also named [1] William Hughes. Then she married Patrick Grace and had at least 3 more children [2] James Grace; [3] John Grace; [4] Catherine Mary Farrell nee Grace, and presumably Bernard Farrell [Note 307] was related to Catherine Mary Farrell nee Grace. We also learn about Grace Genealogy from “The rebel of Glenmalure : a history of Michael Dwyer” by George Cargeeg, Victoria Park, Hesperian Press 1988 pp18, 27, 29. Mary Ann Dwyer was born in 1799 in the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland where her mother sought refuge from the British soldiers who would undoubtedly have liked to capture her and her child as hostages. History mentions that Mary Dwyer was hidden in isolated mountain cottages and caves by faithful friends. Mary Ann would have been four years of age when Dwyer surrendered to the British, and the family, which included her two younger brothers John and Peter, went to live in Kilmainham goal. A fourth child, Esther was born there in 1804. When their parents were exiled to New South Wales the four children remained in Ireland with their Dwyer grandparents until 1828 when they arrived in Australia. A proven fact despite marginal notes. Mary Ann was married in Ireland circa 1827 to William Hughes who died before she left Ireland with their infant child William on the ship "Sir Joseph Banks", arriving on 7 October 1828. She does not appear on the 1828 Census of New South Wales. Mary Ann's second marriage was to Patrick Grace in a ceremony that took place at St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney, with John Dwyer as a witness. Mary Ann and Patrick Grace took up land in the Lachlan River district next to that of Thomas and Anne Shaughnessy, [the surname was changed to O'Shaughnessy in 1853 with the birth of their third son] who were to become lifelong friends as well as relations of the Dwyer clan. [Patrick and Mary Ann's sons James and John married O'Shaughnessy sisters.] (5). Still on that website, Patrick Grace was also born in 1799, possibly in County Wicklow or Kilkenny, Ireland and died on 29 April1872 in SA. About Patrick Grace: Grace Genealogy from “The rebel of Glenmalure : a history of Michael Dwyer” by George Cargeeg, pp27, 29, 53-56. My search in County Wicklow produced no evidence of either the parents of Patrick Grace or his place of birth. However, in County Kilkenny I found a man named James Grace (the name given to the eldest son of Mary Ann and Patrick Grace). This Kilkenny branch of the Grace family lives in Craig-na-mannagh and a James Grace was born there in 1796. Patrick Grace was born in 1799 and while it is not known whether these two men were brothers, it is some significance that James had a son named Patrick, who in turn had a son James, whose son was Patrick and his son James (Jimmy). I have corresponded with the latter who, by the way, has a son named Patrick who has a son named James. It is presumed that the Patrick Grace who married Mary Ann Hughes (nee Dwyer) was arrested in Ireland under the Insurrection Act of 1822. His Indents state that he was a native of County Wicklow but he could have said that to protect his family from harassment. His trial was held in Wicklow on 19 April 1822 and he was sentences to seven years transportation, though no crime was listed. He was nearly six feet tall with brown hair and grey eyes. Patrick Grace was aboard the Countess of Hardcourt which left Cork on 3 September 1822 and arrived in Sydney on 21 December. A rural worker, he was sent to work on a farm and later became an overseer for James Smithers. He obtained his Certificate of Freedom on 7 April 1829. When Mary Ann married Patrick he was living in Barragarany and it appears that they went to live at Bathurst since the baptismal certificate for their first son James, who was christened at St Mary's Cathedral, gives his parents' address as Bathurst on 29 August 1835. Their second son, John, was also baptized at St Mary's Cathedral on 16 April 1837 but with no abode stated. The church records at Bathurst give their only daughter Catherine Mary as having been born 22 May 1843 and baptised 12 July, 1843. Their abode was Campbell's River, fifty kilometres due south of Bathurst. Like many Irishmen who had served their sentence, Patrick Grace decided to take his wife and family to the Lachlan River district where new grazing land was being eagerly taken up by pioneer families and graziers. They selected land beside Thomas and Ann Shaughnessy who were also of Irish descent and with whom they became lifelong friends. ..... By 1848 the price of wool had fallen drastically. As carting the wool clip from the Lachlan River area to Sydney would have resulted in a financial loss, Thomas Shaughnessy and Patrick Grace burnt their wool. They decided to overland to the Sheoak Log and Crystal Brook areas in South Australia where land suitable for growing wheat had recently been opened up. They considered mixed wheat-and-sheep farming a more reliable and profitable venture than just relying on sheep. The Death Registration: Patrick Grace, died 29 April 1872, at Shea Oak Log. Death registered Barossa, South Australia vol47 p157 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/grace_angeline_forbes.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I2377 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/grace_mary_ann_&_patrick.jpg 5 http://www.geni.com/people/Mary-Grace/6000000016970226393 6 http://www.geni.com/people/Patrick-Grace/6000000016970349205 1139 Frederick Graeber died aged 80 yrs on 29 Aug 1962; his wife Pauline Graeber died aged 87 yrs on 12 Feb 1963, making their respective years of birth c1882 and c1876. There was no Frederick Graeber Marriage Index at GenealogySA but his Birth Index shows that in the Nairne District he was born in 1882 to parents Gustav Graeber and Mary Jantke (2). The ‘all Graeber’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Gustav Graeber and Mary Jantke (parent’s name in brackets when different) shows at least 6 children, all born in the Nairne District [1] Frederick Graeber b1882; [2] John Gustav Adolph Graeber b1883; [3] Anne Emma Graeber b1885; [4] Doretta Clara Graeber b1890 (mother Marie Yantke); [5] Meta Elfrida Graeber b1893 (parents Johann Friedrich Gustav Graeber and Anna Marie Jandke); [6] Bernhard Hugo Graeber b1898 (mother Marie Jantke) (2). The ‘all Graeber’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Frederick Graeber and Pauline __ shows 4 children, all born in the Nairne District, to Johann Frederich August Graeber and Anna Pauline Hulda Schulz [1] Norman Clarence Graeber b1906; [2] Ella Alvera Graeber b1908; [3] Alfred Stanley Graeber b1909; [4] Hilda Dorothy Graeber b1914 (2). Now we know his full name, we can search on the Johann Graeber Marriage Index to find that in the Nairne District in 1881, Johann Friedrich Gustav Graeber was married to Anna Marie Jantke, and in the Talunga District in 1905, Johann Friedrich August Graeber was married to Anna Paulina Hulda Schulz (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Frederick Graeber was born on 12 Mar 1882 in Woodside SA to parents Gustav Graeber and Mary Jantke (3), and Anna Hulda Pauline Schultz[sic] was born on 8 Sep 1875 nr Lobethal SA to parents Dienegott Schulz and Johann Luise Wagenknecht (4). On a website dedicated to the genealogy of Graeme Moad, we find that Johann Friedrich Gustav Graeber (10 Nov 1857 - 25 Mar 1930) was married to Anna Maria Jantke (22 May 1856 - 22 Nov 1934) and had a son named Johann Frederick August Graeber (born 12 Mar 1882 at Woodside SA, died in 1962 SA) who was married in 1905 SA to Anna Pauline Hulda SCHULZ (died in 1963 SA). The children of Johann Frederick August Graeber and Anna Pauline Hulda Schulz were [1] Norman Clarence Graeber born 28 Aug 1906; [2]
Ella Alvera Graeber b1908: [3] Alfred Stanley Graeber b1909; [4] Hilda Dorothy Graeber b1914 (5), confirming the above details. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/graeber_frederick_&_pauline.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I3190 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I371226 5 http://graememoad.com/Family/WC60/WC60_013.HTM 1140 Harry Graetz died aged 85 yrs on 9 Jan 1983; his wife Alma died aged 94 yrs on 27 Dec 1999, parents of Max (1), making their respective years of birth c1898 and c1905. The Savill Index that lists all the Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper since 1972 shows the one for Edward Herman (Harry) Graetz appeared on 11 Jan 1983; and Alma Graetz’s on 31 Dec 1999 (2), these dates match their dates of death on the headstone. The Edward Herman Graetz Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that he was born in 1897 in the Barossa District to parents Johann Auguste Graetz and Henriette Auguste Bertha Laubsch (3), the family we found in Note 405, and the Edward Herman Graetz Marriage Index shows that in 1926 in the Barossa District he was married to Ernstine Alma Mattschoss (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Edward Herman Graetz was born on 2 Aug 1897 at Kangaroo Flat SA to parents Johann Auguste Graetz and Henriette Auguste Bertha Laubsch (4), and the birth details for Ernstine Alma Mattschoss just say she was born in 1905 in Allandale North SA to parents Carl August Heinrich Mattschoss and Ernstine Pauline Obst (5). I haven’t been able to find Alma Graetz precise date of birth, even the Graeme Moad website just says she was born in 1905 (6). The ‘all Graetz’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Edward Herman Graetz and Ernstine Alma Mattschoss shows only one one birth (up to the 1928 cut-off): Maxwell Clarence Graetz was born in 1926 to parents Edward Norman Graetz and Ernestine Alma Mattschoss in the Barossa District (3), confirming the mention of Max on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/graetz_harry_&_alma.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I2517 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I257347 6 http://graememoad.com/Family/PS196/PS196_308.HTM 1141 Edward Leonard Graetz died aged 68 yrs on 13 April 1987, husband of Dorothy Estelle, father of Geoff, Ray, Philip, Michael and Ian (1). The World War Two Nominal Roll shows that Edward Leonard Graetz was born on 13 Apr 1919 in Henty NSW and enlisted on 27 May 1940 at Wayville SA in the Australian Army, citing as next of kin Phillip Graetz. Private Graetz was discharged on 20 Jan 1941 from Camp Hospital Wayville (2). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper since 1972, says that one for Edward Leonard (Len) Graetz was placed on 15 April 1987 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/graetz_edward__leonard.jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=705716 3 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 1142 Patrick Grainger Snr died aged 77 yrs on 25 March 1907; his wife Mary Grainger died aged 48 yrs on 15 Nov 1882 (1), making their years of birth c1830 and c1834 respectively. The only Patrick Grainger Marriage Index at GenealogySA is an 1889 marriage in the Barossa District between Patrick Grainger and Anna Marie Koch (2), so it isn’t the Patrick and Mary Grainger marriage, being 7 yrs after Mary died. The ‘all Grainger’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Patrick Grainger only shows 2 children born to parents Patrick Grainger and Annia Marie Koch in the Barossa District [1] Robena Vienetta Grainger b1890; [2] Thelka Coral Grainger b1891 (2). It is most likely Patrick Grainger Snr arrived in SA already married to Mary, and with children already born. According to the LDS website, Patrick Grainger was born in 1873, his father was also Patrick Grainger, but no details are given. Patrick Grainger Jnr was married aged 26 yrs on 31 Dec 1889 at Sheaoak Log SA to Anna Maria Koch aged 25 yrs, who was born 27 Feb 1864 at Highbury SA to parents Hermann Friedrich Koch and Pauline Wilhelmine Hartig (3). “Deaths: Grainger: On the 25th March, near Wasleys, Patrick Grainger sen, aged 77 years. Arrived in the ship Admiral Boxer, August 22, 1855” The Register (Adelaide), Thursday 4 April 1907 p4 (4). Obituary: “Mr Patrick Grainger sen, an old resident, who died at his residence, near Wasleys, on Monday week, at the age of 77 years, was born on March 17, 1830, at Kilkenny, Ireland, and with his wife arrived in this State by the ship Admiral Boxer on August 22, 1856[sic]. He took up land at Concordia, and farmed there for about 25 years. After his wife's death he removed to near Wasleys, where he resided until his death. He was at one time a councillor for the Wasleys ward in the Mudla Wirra South District Council. Five sons and three daughters survive him” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 13 April 1907 p42 (5). “The Late Mr P Grainger: On Monday, March 25th, Mr Patrick Grainger, well known to Gawlerites, passed away at the farm near Wasleys. The deceased gentleman was born on the 17th March, 1830, in the County Kilkenny in Ireland, and when 24 years of age left his native country. He arrived at Port Adelaide with his wife on August 22, 1855, in the ship Admiral Boxer. Employment was scarce that year and he was fortunate to be selected as coachman by the late Mr James Disher, who was a well-known spirit merchant in those days. After about twelve months in that employment, the late Mr Disher dispatched Mr Grainger and his wife with a bullock dray to a farm adjacent to Gawler where he was to take the management He successfully managed the farm for five or six years when the place was sold. Mr Grainger then accepted employment at road contracting with the late Captain Lawson. After that, he took up land at Concordia and remained there some 25 years. When his wife died he removed to the land he had previously bought near Wasleys, where he resided until his demise. The deceased gentleman represented the Wasleys Ward in the Mudla Wirra South District Council for a period of three years in the seventies. Of a family of ten (six boys and four girls) there survive five boys and three girls” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 5 April 1907 p2 (6). The children of Patrick and Mary Grainger are not mentioned as coming on the journey from Ireland, and we must presume they were born in SA, but not necessarily officially registered in those early days. However without knowin their names, except for Patrick Grainger Jnr {who doesn’t appear on the SA births data on RootsWeb, but we know he was born in 1873}, I cannot follow them up. On a website concerning the “Ancestors of Patrick Grainger”, it tells us that Patrick Grainger was born abt 1873 to parents Partick[sic] Grainger and Mary Sexton. Patrick Grainger Jnr was married on 31 Dec 1889 in Sheaoak Log SA to Anna Marie Koch, and he died on 12 June 1920 (7), at least we learn his mother Mary’s maiden name. The Ships List website says that the ship Admiral Boxer, 1116 tons, Captain J Jones left Liverpool on 23 May 1855, arrived at Port Adelaide SA on 21 Aug 1855. Amongst the families on board was Patrick Grainger aged 34 yrs {really 24 yrs}, a farm servant from Kilkenny and his wife Mary Grainger aged 25 yrs (8). I’m not sure that Patrick put his age up by 10 yrs on purpose, it may have just been a mistake writing it down, but why Mary was down as 25 yrs instead of my calculated 21 yrs is another mystery. On separate headstones are two children of Patrick and Mary Grainger. William Grainger died aged 21 yrs on 20 Nov 1880 (9); Ellen Grainger died aged 13 yrs on 25 June 1881 (10), making their years of birth c1859 and c1868 respectively. As was the case with Patrick Grainger Jnr, there are no birth records for siblings William and Ellen on GenealogySA or on RootsWeb. William Grainger’s Death Notice: “Grainger: On the 21st November, at Concordia, William,
second son of Mr P Grainger” Bunyip, Friday 26 November 1880 p2 (11), but there doesn’t seem to be notices for Ellen in 1881 or Mary in 1882. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/grainger_patrick_&_mary.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F33795&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/58129802?searchTerm=patrick%20grainger&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88131740?searchTerm=patrick grainger&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97603928?searchTerm=patrick grainger&searchLimits= 7 http://topperwien.com/genealogy/trees/people/p0000ayt.htm 8 http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/australia/admiralboxer1855.shtml 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/grainger_william.jpg 10 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/grainger_ellen.jpg 11 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/99826608?searchTerm=william grainger&searchLimits= 1143 Emma Grapes died aged 80 yrs on 3 Sept 1934; her husband Samuel Grapes died aged 81 yrs on 30 Aug 1939 (1). The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Emma Grapes was 20 yrs old when she died (2), but the headstone says she was 80 yrs old, not 20. The Samuel Grapes Marriage Index at GenealogySA tells us that in the Port Gawler District in 1880, he was married to Emma Lawson (3). Samuel Grapes and Emma Lawson don’t appear on the birth records of GenealogySA or on RootsWeb. “Grapes— Lawson: On the 12th February, at the residence of Mr L Krudop, Gum Park, Angle Vale, by licence, by the Rev H Mason, Samuel, second son of Mr W Grapes, Norfolk, England, to Emma, seventh daughter of the late Captain Lawson, Cockatoo Valley, South Australia” South Australian Register, Saturday 21 February 1880 Suppl p3 (4). According to information on the LDS website, Samuel Grapes was born abt 1858 at Ludham, Norfolk, England {his father was William Grapes}, and died on 5 Sep[sic] 1939 SA. Samuel Grapes had arrived in SA in 1879 aboard the John Elder, and was married aged 22 yrs on 12 Feb 1880 at Angle Vale to Emma Lawson aged 25 yrs, who was born in June 1855 to parents Thomas Lacey and Catherine Smith, and died in Sep 1934. The children of Samuel Grapes and Emma Lawson were [1] Sarah Bennett nee Grapes born 1 May 1889 Yatta Creek SA, died in 1940; [2] Esther Grapes born 9 Feb 1891 Yatta Creek; [3] (Not Recorded) Grapes born 27 Feb 1893 Barossa Diggings SA (5). Further information can be found on the LDS website on the family of Samuel Grapes and Emma Lawson. The parents of Emma Lawson were Thomas Lacey Lawson and Mrs Catherine Constance Smith; [1] Sarah Grapes was married on 29 Aug 1906 in Williamstown SA to Herbert James Bennett (6). There is also further information on the LDS website regarding the family of Thomas Lacey Lawson and Mrs Catherine Constance Smith. Thomas Lacey Lawson was born in Ireland in 1801 and died in Cockatoo Valley SA on 19 Jul 1859; Mrs Catherine Constance Smith was born in 1822 in England and died on 3 Apr 1872 at North Para River SA; their children [1] Mary Ann Lawson was born in 1847 in England and was married on 7 July 1863 in Gawler to Thomas Walton; [2] Anne Cecily Lawson was born in 1848 in England and was married on 29 Apr 1869 in Gawler to George Gaston; [3] Penelope Lawson was born in Jan 1849, married 2 Oct 1866 in Gawler to Edward Gaston, and died in 29 Oct 1912 in the Barossa; [4] Winifred Lawson was born in 1851 and was married twice, firstly on 9 Oct 1866 in Gawler to Thomas Field, then on 26 Feb 1872 in Gawler to Nathaniel Vicars Woolford; [5] Emma Lawson was born in 1855, married on 12 Feb 1880 at Angle Vale SA to Samuel Grapes, and died in Sept 1934; [6] Thomas Lacey Lawson was born in England in 1857, and was married on 30 Mar 1880 in Clare SA to Rosa Anne Curtis; [7] James Lacey Lawson was born in 1858, and was married on 6 Aug 1879 in Gawler to Louisa Gangell (7). On a website of British Genealogy & Family History Forums > Family History > Brickwalls > Sad end with no beginning: The story is told of a lady who drowned herself in the North Para River. I have summarised a long list of email interchanges: Catherine Constant or Constance was born in 1822 in Warwickshire, and baptised Kitty, a name she didn’t use, preferring always Catherine. She was married in 4 July 1838 to George Smith at St Andrews Parish church, Rugby, Warwickshire, England, and they had two children [1] Clara Smith born 30 July 1839, who married Thomas James Satchell in 1865 at Sandy Creek, and had 3 children; [2] Dinah Smith born July 1841, married John Adams and had 13 children. George Smith died on the ship Mary Ann on 22 Jan 1842 as they were en route to NZ, and he was buried at sea. As a widow with 2 daughters, Catherine Smith nee Constant was married on 27 May 1842 at St Johns, Auckland NZ to Captain Thomas Lacey Lawson (born 1801 Ireland). They moved to Australia, arriving in SA on 17 Sept 1844. None of their children's births were registered in SA but they were [1] Mary Anne Lawson born 1847, and married Thomas Walton, died 1917; [2] Penelope Lawson born 7 Jan 1849, married Edward Gaston, died 1912; [3] Winifred Lawson born 1851, married 9 Oct 1866 Thomas Field and divorced him when he was jailed, widowed from her marriage to William Rutter, then married Nathanial Vickers Woolford, died 1898; [4] Ann Cecelia Lawson born 13 May 1854, married Edward’s brother George Gaston, died 1934; [5] Emma Lawson born June 1855, married Samuel Grapes, died 1934; [6] Thomas Lacey Lawson born 1857, was married to Rosa Alice Curtis aged 23 yrs (born1861 Clare SA to John Cortis(sic) & Elizabeth Ann Davis) in 1880 at St Barnabas' Church Clare SA. Their children were Elizabeth Clara Lawson born 10 Oct 1881 in the Hundred of Cavinagh SA; John James Lawson born 3 April 1883 in Williamstown SA and died at Yatina SA in the Hundred of Morgan 8 Dec 1883 aged 8 months; Elibra Ann Lawson born 3 March 1885 Amyton SA. Thomas Lacey Lawson Jnr is said to have died in 1900, but more likely died in 1921 in an insane asylum in Ararat, Victoria. His wife Rosa and the 2 girls had left him, possibly in 1888, and faded from public attention; [7] James Lacey Lawson born about 1859, was married aged 21 yrs to Louisa Gangell aged 21 (father was John Gangell) in St George’s Church Gawler SA, and he died in 1935. The origins of Thomas Lacey Lawson are not clear, other than he was born in Ireland in 1801. Some family members believe his parents died when he was young and was raised by his 2 maiden aunts in Liverpool, but not legally adopted by them. He went to sea aged 16, some think as whaler, and was away when his aunts both died, leaving him a considerable fortune in the name they had given him: Thomas Lawson Lacey. He had no papers with this name, and was unable to prove he was the one and the same person. The family have tried to claim this money, but have been unsuccessful, so the money remains in the EnglishChancery. Thomas Lacey Lawson was in NZ when he met Catherine Constant (Constance) and discovered she had been widowed en route from England. Captain Thomas Lacey Lawson (called Captain because he was a mine Captain at the Burra Mines SA) ended up with much property in Gawler SA, but died on 19 July 1859 from an accident with his horse and carriage died at Cockatoo Valley SA. Thomas Lacey Lawson and Catherine Constant Lawson formerly Smith had the 7 children as above, but was clearly depressed when she first tried to hang herself, and then jumped into the North Para River SA aged 50 yrs on 3 April 1872 (8). On a FamilyTreeCircles website, it notes “Arrival by the John Elder, 12 March 1879 South Australia”. The Orient steamship John Elder, AJ Cooper commander, arrived at Semaphore SA, and anchored at half past 4, on Wednesday, March 12, 1879. She had a capital passage but no special incidents occurred. One birth took place, and the child was named John Elder. The following is the list of immigrants by the SS John Elder, with their ages and occupations: .... Samuel Grapes, 20, pick and shovel laborer; ...... There was a total of 26 agricultural labourers, all males aged 18-31 yrs; 10 pick and shovel labourers, all males aged 20 – 31 yrs; 4 other young males aged 21-25 yrs, comprising a special constable and agricultural labourer, a quarryman; one house and cartwright; and a labourer; plus 75 first saloon passengers (9). However I haven’t been
able to find Samuel Grape’s precise date of birth. Obituary for Mr S Grapes: “Mr Samuel Grapes, who died recently after a short illness, at his residence, Cockatoo Valley, was bom in Ludham, Norfolk, in 1857. For a few years he was with the herring fishers in the North Sea. Mr Grapes came to Australia in the John Elder in March, 1859, and in 1880 married Emma, youngest daughter of the late Captain Lawson. For a few years he share-farmed, finally settling at Cockatoo Valley, and retiring from active farming in 1924. Mr and Mrs Grapes celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in February 1930. Mrs Grapes died in 1934. Two daughters survive — Mrs S Bennett (Cockatoo Valley), and Mrs H Lange (Mount Lofty)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 21 September 1939 p47 (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/grapes_emma_&_samuel.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43099921 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I116932&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F32689&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org/familygroup.php?familyID=F4996&tree=SouthAustralia 8 http://www.british-genealogy.com/archive/index.php/t-47552.html 9 http://www.familytreecircles.com/u/janilye/?cat=1262 10 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92445785?searchTerm=samuel grapes&searchLimits= 1144 Arthur James Grasse died aged 74 yrs on 10 Oct 1949, husband of Amelia A Grasse (1), making his approximate year of birth c1875. There is no Arthur Grasse Birth or Marriage Index at GenealogySA but at least the corresponding Death Index shows that Arthur James Grasse died in 1949 in Gawler, with nominated relative his widow AA Grasse (2). The ‘all Grasse’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Arthur James Grasse and Amelia A_ __ shows no births at all in SA up to 1928 with the surname Grasse, the same situation on the SA births data at RootsWeb. Maybe they didn’t have children. Searches on the National Archives of Australia website, and the LDS website weren’t helpful, at least there is a Death Notice: “Grasse: On October 10, at his residence, Adelaide road, Gawler, Arthur James, beloved husband of Amelia Adelaide Grasse, aged 74 years” The Advertiser, Tuesday 11 October 1949 p14 (3). “On Wednesday last a pretty wedding was celebrated at the residence of the bride's brother, Mr Jos Smallacombe, Morongla, when Mr AJ Grasse was married to Amelia Adelaide, daughter of Mr John Smallacombe, of Adelaide SA, the ceremony being performed by Rev James Barr. Miss Elsie Smallacombe (niece) acted as bridesmaid, and Mr H Bryant acted as best man. The wedding breakfast was held in the large dining room, when only one toast was honored, that of the ‘Bride and Bridegroom’” Cowra Free Press (NSW), Wednesday 2 February 1916 p2 (4). Amelia Adelaide Smallacombe was born on 4 May 1877 in Georgetown SA to parents John Smallacombe and Jemima Gould Oke (5). Arthur James Grasse aged about 41 yrs and Amelia Adelaide Smallacombe aged 38 yrs were married relatively late in life, and may not have had children, as none are mentioned on the headstone, nor on his Death Notice. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/grasse_arthur_james.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36691450?searchTerm=grasse&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/99696704?searchTerm=%22Amelia%20Adelaide%22%20grasse&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I343427 1145 Theodor Gerhard Graue died aged 81 yrs on 13 May 1956; his wife Louise Clara Graue died aged 88 yrs on 2 April 1967; their elder son Edgar Graue died aged 85 yrs on 4 Dec 1986; Edgar’s wife Belle Graue died aged 83 yrs on 12 June 1987 (1), making their years of birth c1871, c1879, c1901 and c1904 respectively. The Theodor Graue Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Barossa District in 1900, Theodor Gerhard Graue was married to Wilhelmine Louise Clara Kurtz (2), and the ‘all Graue’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Theodor Gerhard Graue and Wilhelmine Louise Clara Kurtz shows that there were 6 children, all born in the Barossa District to parents Theodor (x5) / Theodore (x1) Gerhardt (x5) / Gerhard (x1) Graue and Clara Louisa Wilhelmine (x4) / Clara Wilhelmine Louisa (x1) / Wilhelmine Louise Clara (x1) Kurtz [1] Edgar Franz Graue b1901; [2] William Victor Graue b1902; [3] Albert Graue b1902; [4] Walter Leonard Graue b1907; [5] Norman Herbert Graue b1912; [6] Nita Clara Graue b1920 (2). The Edgar Franz Graue Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Daly District in 1931, he was married to Fanny Isabelle Mitchell (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Edgar Franz Graue was born on 29 Jul 1901 in Gawler SA to parents Theodor Gerhardt[sic] Graue and Clara Wilhelmine Louisa Kurtz (3), Theodor Gerhard Graue was born on 29 Oct 1874 in Tanunda SA to parents Johann Carl Graue {born 8 Sept 1847 SA} and Emma Elisabeth Ahrens {born 22 April 1850 Angas Park, Nuriootpa SA} (4), Clara Louisa Wilhelmine Kurtz was born Louise Clara Kurtz on 19 Nov 1878 near Shea-Oak Log SA to parents Johann Wilhelm Kurtz and Louise Shiller (5), and Fanny Isabelle Mitchell was born in 1904 in Wallaroo Mine, Wallaroo SA to parents Matthew Mitchell and Fanny Watts (6). Wedding Bells: Graue—Mitchell: A very pretty and largely attended wedding was solemnised at the Wallaroo Mines Methodist Church on Saturday last, January 31, between Edgar F Graue, son of Mr and Mrs T Graue, of Gawler, and Isobel F Mitchell, second daughter of Mr M Mitchell, and the late Mrs F Mitchell, of Kadina. ....

But there is nowhere to be found Bella’s precise date of birth, just 1904.If she definitely was 83 yrs old when she died, her birth date must be before 11 June 1904 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/graue_theodor_gerhard,_louise_clara,_edgar_&_belle.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I726111 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I3637 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I70151 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I258701 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96642771?searchTerm=mitchell%20Graue&searchLimits= 1146 Peter Cray died at Roseworthy aged 81 yrs on 9 May 1892; his wife Jane Cray died aged 81 yrs on 22 Nov 1901; Peter Hugh Cray died at Wallaroo aged 38 yrs on 30 Oct 1901 (1), making their respective years of birth c1811, c1820 and c1863. The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has (quite understandably) mistaken the surname as ‘Gray’ (2), but it really looks more like ‘Cray’ to me. The proof is in these newspaper notices: Death of Peter Cray: “Cray: On the 9th May, at Railway-terrace, Roseworthy, Peter Cray, cabinetmaker, late of North-terrace, Adelaide, aged 81 years; a colonist of 51 years” South Australian Register (Adelaide), Tuesday 10 May 1892 p4 (3). Peter Cray’s Obituary: “The Late Mr Peter Cray: On Monday morning, May 9, there passed away at his home, Roseworthy, another of those whose residence in the colony exceeded half a century. The late Mr Cray, who had reached the ripe age of
81, arrived in the colony in December 1840. He at once settled in Adelaide, and for many years carried on business in Hindley-street in conjunction with Mr Butt as cabinetmakers. In the sixties Mr Cray removed to the Roseworthy district, and tried his hand at farming, but red rust for two years in succession caused him to retire from agricultural pursuits, and he returned to his business in Adelaide. About 22 years ago he settled at Roseworthy, and carried on his trade, and here he resided until his death, leading a quiet uneventful life in his declining years. He leaves a widow, one son and two daughters” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 20 May 1892 p2 (4). The ‘all Cray’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Peter Cray and Jane __ shows 4 children born to Peter Cray and Jane Linklater, all born in Adelaide [1] James Linklater Cray b1856; [2] Agnes Jane Cray b1859; [3] Isabella Jessie Cray b1861; [4] Peter Hugh Cray b1863 (5). However because of the confusion over the surname, I also checked the ‘all Gray’ Birth Index at GenealogySA to find that there was an older daughter: Mary Mowat Gray[sic] was born in Adelaide in 1854 to parents Peter Gray[sic] and Jane Linklater (5), showing the ease at which ‘Gray’ and ‘Cray’ are confused, especially with the old-style lettering. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Peter Hugh Cray was born on 14 Jun 1863 in Adelaide to parents Peter Cray and Jane Linklater (6). The precise dates of birth for Peter Cray and Jane Linklater remain elusive 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gray_peter,_jane_&_peter_hugh.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48233533?searchTerm=peter cray&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97236503?searchTerm=peter cray&searchLimits= 5 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I208767 1147 Alexander Gray died at Gawler aged 76 yrs on 30 Nov 1899; his wife Helen Jack Gray died at Willowie aged 87 yrs on 29 July 1908, making their respective years of birth c1823 and c1821. The Alexander Gray Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows 3 marriages of Alexander Gray, but none to Helen Jack __ or similar; so were they married before they came to SA, and are there children recorded to them? The ‘all Gray’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Alexander Gray and Helen Jack __ shows 4 children born to Ellen Jack (in one instance ‘Jock’, not Jack), all born in the Barossa District [1] James Gray b1859; [2] John Gray b1857; [3] Henry Gray b1862; [4] Ann Gray b1864 (2). The LDS website says that Alexander Gray was born in 1823 at Kirkwall, Orkney, Scotland and died on 30 Nov 1899 in Gawler SA. He arrived in SA in 1851 aboard the Reliance, and was a farmer who had lived in Sheoak Log, Amyton and Gawler. Alexander Gray was married in the UK to Ellen or Helen Jack (born in 1821 at Thurso, Caithness, Scotland and died 29 Jul 1908 Willowie SA). The children of Alexander Gray and Ellen Jack were [1] Alexander Gray born 20 Aug 1849 Orkney Islands, died 1936; [2] Ellen Gray b1852; [3] Rev William Gray born 1854, died 1937; [4] John Gray born 8 Sep 1857 Sheaoak Log, died 1938; [5] James Gray born 6 Dec 1859 nr Sheoak Log; [6] Henry Gray born 12 Dec 1862 Sheaoak Log, died 1934; [7] Ann Gum nee Gray born 18 Apr 1864 Sheaoak Log, died 1944; [8] Alfred Gray born 16 Jun 1868 nr Sheoak Log (3). Still on the LDS website, further information is given on the family of Alexander Gray Ellen (or Helen) Jack: [1] Alexander Gray (Jnr) was married on 16 Oct 1879 in Mount Barker to Mary Mills; [2] Ellen Gray (Jnr) was married on 3 Dec 1873 at Sheaoak Log to Arthur William Johnson; [4] John Gray was married on 30 Oct 1884 at Head of Pinda SA to Sophia Rhoda Crisp; [5] James Gray was married on 26 Mar 1884 in Wilmington SA to Ellen Campbell Burley; [6] Henry Gray was married on 16 Sep 1891 at Hay Valley SA to Catherine Theobald; [7] Ann Gray was married on 23 Jul 1884 in Amyton SA to William Gum (4). A general Google search of “Alexander Gray and Helen Jack” shows they were aboard the Reliance which arrived at Port Adelaide on 13 Sept 1851. Gray Alexander aged 28 years who was a mason, born in Orkney; his wife Ellen nee Jack and their one-year old child Alexander. Interestingly, on the same voyage were two single agricultural labourers from Dorset, Samuel Gray aged 18 yrs and William Gray 17 yrs. But the precise dates of birth for Alexander and Helen Gray remain elusive. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gray_alexander_&_helen_jack.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I142284&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F42473&tree=SouthAustralia 5 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/passengerlists/1851Reliance.htm 1148 Eric Edwin Green died aged 80 yrs on 12 Oct 1988; his wife Ellen Oriole Green died aged 96 yrs on 10 July 2004; parents of Sylvia and Ronda (1). The Eric Edwin Green Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows he was married in the Barossa District in 1931 to Ellen Oriole Goss (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Eric Edwin Green was born on 1 Nov 1907 in Gawler SA to parents Edwin Henry Green and Martha Northcote Susan Alice Matters (3), and Ellen Oriole Goss was born on 19 Jun 1908 in Gawler to parents Thomas Henry Goss and Mary Ann Lemmey (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/green_eric_edwin_&_ellen_oriole.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I518884 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I517007 1149 Bobby Greeneklee died aged 64 yrs on 2 May 1987, an ex-Trooper of the 1/9 Aust Armoured Regt, husband of Hilda and father of Dianne, Rex, Kay, Sue and Lorraine (1). Hilda May Greeneklee died aged 77 yrs on 6 July 2004 (2), making her year of birth c1927. The ‘all Greeneklee’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA doesn’t show any male Greeneklee marrying a bride named Hilda May, but the Bobby Greeneklee Birth Index shows that Bobby Greeneklee was born in Adelaide in 1923 to parents Albert George Greeneklee and Agnes Jean Binnie (3). The World War Two Nominal Roll shows that Bobbie Greeneklee was born on 5 Feb 1923 in Parkside SA and was living there when he enlisted on 7 Feb 1942 in Adelaide in the Australian Army, citing as next of kin, his mother Agnes Greeneklee. Trooper Greeneklee was discharged on 11 Feb 1946 from 2/9 Armoured Regiment (4). Presumably he was married post-WWII, but I’ve searched newspapers up to 1954 without finding a wedding notice. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there were 641 births in SA {up to 1928} with the first names containing ‘Hilda’ and ‘May, but only 3 of these were born during the period of 1926-1927: [1] Hilda May Bald was born on 21 Oct 1927 in Allenby Gardens, Adelaide to parents Robert Bald and Vera May Fisher (5); [2] Hilda May Blake was born on 25 Jul 1926 in Naracoorte SA to parents James Ernest Blake and Lillian Victoria Maria Mitchell (6); and [3] Hilda May Johns was born on 11 Jul 1926 nr Waikerie SA to parents James Johns and Emily Vera Burrows (7). A Google search for Bobby Greeneklee reveals a website telling the story of “Grüneklee to Greeneklee: From the village of Weende, Göttingen Germany to Australia 1856: The Three Brothers”. This interesting tale says that Bobby Greeneklee was born on 5 Feb 1925 and died on 2 May 1987. He was married to Hilda May Johns, who was born on 11 July 1926, and died 6 July 2004, matching the dates exactly (8). As a final cross-reference check, a return to RootsWeb shows that Bobby Greeneklee was born on 5 Feb 1923 in Parkside, Adelaide to parents Albert George Greeneklee and Agnes Jean Binnie (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greeneklee_bobby.jpg

There is no Noel Humphrey Greenfield Marriage Index at GenelogySA but his Birth Index shows his birth in the Frome District in 1925 to parents Alfred Noel Greenfield and Sarah Rose Greenfield (2). His birth notice: “Greenfield: On the 11th January, to Mr and Mrs Greenfield, Kitchener-street, Peterborough —a son (Noel Humphrey)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 24 January 1925 p39 (3). This sad story about the death of Kay Noelene Greenfield appeared in 1952, but the notice tells us that her parents were still in Peterborough in 1952, and they presumably had been married at least 5 years: “Child Dies From Injuries: Peterborough: Kay Noelene Greenfield, 4, was fatally injured when the bicycle on which she was riding behind her mother, Mrs Madge Doreen Greenfield, was struck by a utility, driven by James Joseph O'Dea, late on Saturday afternoon. Both were taken to hospital, where the child died about an hour later from head injuries. Mrs Greenfield is still in hospital suffering from concussion and abrasions” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 10 July 1952 p8 (4). This report on their engagement party gives us Madge’s maiden name: “Concerning People: A pleasant evening was spent at the home of Mr and Mrs Greenfield, Kitchener St, to celebrate the engagement of their son Noel to Madge, only daughter of Mr and Mrs Higginson, Peterborough West. A two-storey cake, which was made by Mrs Greenfield, was cut. There were 16 guests” The Times and Northern Advertiser, Peterborough SA, Friday 12 January 1945 p2 (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Madge Doreen Higginson was born on 17 Nov 1928 in Orroroo SA to parents Arthur Douglas Higginson and Alice Winifred Huddlestone (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greenfield_noel_humphrey_&_madge_doreen.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87513128?searchTerm=%22Noel%20Humphrey%22%20Greenfield&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93924272?searchTerm=Noel%20Greenfield%20Madge&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/124973648?searchTerm=Noel%20Greenfield%20Madge&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I536788 1151 William Greenwood died aged 83 yrs on 30 Dec 1932; his wife Emilie Greenwood died aged 81 yrs {in her 82nd year} on 22 July 1948, making their respective birth years c1849 and c1867. The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that William Greenwood died aged 33 yrs, but I’m sure it says 83 yrs, which makes more sense for a married couple. Also their headstone says that Emilie Greenwood was in her 82nd year (2), and not that she was 82 yrs old. It means she was aged 81 yrs old when she died. William Greenwood’s Death: “On the 30th December, at his residence, No 4 Jerningham street, Gawler, William, the beloved husband of Emilie Greenwood, and loving father of JE Greenwood, Aldgate; TA Greenwood, Sydney; and Mesdames JD Ferrier, Gawler; H Carling, Mt Barker; and R Nutt, Hallett; in her[sic] 83rd year” The Advertiser, Saturday 31 December 1932 p14 (3). The William Greenwood Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1895 to Emilie Wilkinson (4). The ‘all Greenwood’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Greenwood and Emilie Wilkinson shows there were 4 children born, all in the Barossa District [1] Elizabeth Maud Greenwood b1896; [2] Charles Keith Greenwood b1898; [3] Ethel Hilda Greenwood b1900; [4] Olive Ruth Greenwood b1909 (4). But this cannot be all their children as William Greenwood’s death notice says he was father of JE and TA Greenwood, and I cannot find their birth records at GenealogySA. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Emilie Wilkinson was born on 26 Jun 1867 in Gawler to parents John Charles Wilkinson and Elizabeth Watsford Jones (5), and William Greenwood was born on 10 Nov 1849 in Balhannah SA to parents William Greenwood and Susan Burgoyne (6). Emilie Greenwood’s death notice: “Greenwood: On July 22, at Gawler, Emilie, loved wife of the late William Greenwood, of 4 Jerningham street, Gawler, and loved mother of Ivy (Mrs JD Ferrier, Gawler), Maud (Mrs H Carling, Menlngie), and Ethel (Mrs R Nutt, Hallett), aged 81 years” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Friday 23 July 1948 p10 (7). This confirms that she was 81 yrs old, not 82. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greenwood_william_&_emilie.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35189088?searchTerm=william%20greenwood&searchLimits= 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I389111 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I5990 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43775796?searchTerm=emilie greenwood&searchLimits= 1152 Robert William Greenwood died aged 47 yrs on 16 Sept 1950, husband of Pearl V Greenwood; also buried here is John William McGee, infant son of M and R McGee (1). One may presume that John William McGee’s mother was a daughter of Robert William and Pearl V Greenwood, to be buried with Robert. The Robert Greenwood Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Robert William Greenwood was born in the Barossa District in 1903 to parents William Richard Greenwood and Edith May Lawler (2). The ‘all Greenwood’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Richard Greenwood and Edith May Lawler shows 2 children, both born in the Barossa District [1] Dorothy May Greenwood b1902; [2] Robert William Greenwood 1903 (2), and the same Index seeking offspring of Robert William Greenwood and Pearl V __ shows 2 children born to Robert William Greenwood and Pearl V __ shows there were 2 children born to Robert William Greenwood and Pearl Victoria Pratt {there may be more after the 1928 cut-off at genealogical sites [1] John William Greenwood 1926 in the Clare District; [2] Florence Edith May Greenwood b1927 in the Barossa District (2). On his headstone, John William Greenwood died aged 61 yrs on 24 March 1988, husband of Clythe Roxley Greenwood, father of Michael, Iain and David (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that John William Greenwood was born on 28 Apr 1926 in Pirie South SA to parents Robert William Greenwood and Pearl Victoria Pratt (4), and Robert William Greenwood was born on 27 Feb 1903 in Willaston SA to parents William Richard Greenwood and Edith May Lawler (5). Out of interest, John William McGee’s birth details are not on GenealogySA or on RootsWeb indicating that his birth was after 1928. The only daughter of Robert William Greenwood (Florence Edith May Greenwood b1927) must have been the mother, unless other sisters were also born, but not recorded. “Miss May Greenwood and Mr Robert McGee wed at Tod Street. At Tod St Methodist Church on Saturday the wedding was solemnised of May, only daughter of Mr and Mrs RW Greenwood, of Gawler, and Robert, youngest son of Mrs M McGee, and the
late Mr McGee, of Smithfield. Rev BS Howland officiated. .... The bridesmaid, Miss Josephine McGee, wore a .... Nearly fifty guests attended the reception at the home of the bride's parents. Mr and Mrs McGee's future home will be in Gawler” Bunyip, Friday 20 June 1947 p1 (6). “McGee (nee Greenwood): On August 27, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to May and Bob — a son (Peter Robert)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 2 September 1948 p44 (7). On the Town of Gawler website, John William McGee aged 4 days from Gawler was buried on 10 Sept 1951 in Willaston Cemetery’s re-opened Plot/Grave/Niche 57 Q 4, with Rev French officiating (8). The next birth notice must relate to John William: “McGee (nee Greenwood): On September 3, at Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to May and Bob— a son” The Advertiser, Wednesday 5 September 1951 p20 (9), If he was born on Monday 3 Sept 1951, he must have died on Friday 7 Sept or Saturday 8 Sept 1951, and been buried on the following Monday 10 Sept 1951. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greenwood_robert_william.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/greenwood_john_william.jpg 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I519646 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I726300 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96844209?searchTerm=McGee%20greenwood&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93209841?searchTerm=McGee%20greenwood&searchLimits= 8 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=34263 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45772343?searchTerm=McGee%20greenwood&searchLimits= 1153 Walter Gregor died aged 84 yrs on 27 Nov 1956; his wife Elsie Mabel Gregor died aged 75 yrs on 9 Feb 1958, making their respective years of birth c1872 and c1883. The Walter Gregor Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Daly District in 1911, Walter Gregor married Elsie Mabel Watters (2). The ‘all Gregor’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Walter Gregor and Elsie Mabel Watters shows none recorded to this couple. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Walter Gregor was born on 18 Apr 1872 in Weaners Flat, near Yorketown SA to parents William Gregor {born c1842} and Elizeabth[sic] Brown {born c1846} (3), and Elsie Mabel Watters was born as Elsie Mabal[sic] Watters on 7 Aug 1882 in Curramulka SA to parents John Watters and Susan Jane Pointon (4), but there is no birth data for Ralph Vernon Gregor at RootsWeb nor on GenealogySA. By Googling ‘Walter Gregor and Elsie Mabel Watters’ it tells us on the website ‘Geni’, that Walter Gregor was born on 18 April 1872 Yorketown SA to parents William Gregor and Elizabeth Gregor. He was married to Elsie Mabel Watters and died on 27 Nov 1956 in Adelaide. Walter Gregor and Elsie Mabel Watters did have children, possibly not officially recorded in those days [1] Ralph Vernon Gregor; [2] Gladys Winifred Gregor and [3] at least one other Gregor child (5). Still on this website Ralph Vernon Gregor was actually born on 11 Nov 1914 in Sea Lake Vic, explaining his absence from the SA births data. Ralph Vernon Gregor was the son of Walter Gregor and Elsie Mabel Watters and he was married to Phyllis Ethel May Gregor (6), and Phyllis Ethel May Gregor (nee Whiteman) was born on 18 Sept 1916 in Prospect SA (7). On a different website belonging to Ancestry.com, it tells us that Elsie Mabel Watters was born in Curramulka SA on 7 Aug 1882, and married Walter Gregor. She died on 9 Feb 1957 (8). Now to confirm the birth details of Phyllis Ethel May Gregor nee Whiteman, a return to the RootsWeb data tells us that Phyllis Ethel May Whiteman was born on 18 Sept 1916 in Prospect, Adelaide to parents Herbert Roper Whiteman and Emeline Smith (9). Their headstone tells us that Ralph Vernon Gregor was born on 11 Nov 1914 and died on 21 June 1997; his wife Phyllis Ethel May Gregor was born on 18 Sept 1916 and died 28 July 2007, parents of Nancy and Neil (10). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gregor_walter_&_elsie_mabel.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I6140 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I376248 5 http://www.geni.com/people/Walter-Gregor/6000000027216429174 6 http://www.geni.com/people/Ralph-Gregor/6000000027217158832 7 http://www.geni.com/people/Phyllis-Gregor/6000000027216791451 8 http://records.ancestry.com/elsie_mabel_watters_records.ashx?pid=147426198 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I695678 10 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gregor_ralph_vernon_&_phyllis_ethel_may.jpg 1154 Albert Charles Gregory died aged 86 yrs on 8 May 1968; Florence Maud Gregory died aged 87 yrs on 19 May 1975 (1), making their respective years of birth c1882 and c1882. The Albert Gregory Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that in the Norwood District in 1912, Albert Charles Gregory married Florence Maud Crouch (2). The ‘all Gregory’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Albert Charles Gregory and Florence Maud Crouch shows just one child [1] Iris Maud Gregory was born in Adelaide in 1917 to parents Albert Charles Gregory and Florence Maud Crouch (2). If there was only this one birth for Albert and Florence, then Jason John Gregory, also buried at Willaston cannot be directly related to this couple (unless Iris Maud had a son who retained the surname Gregory). On his headstone, Jason John Gregory died aged 18 yrs on 8 June 1991, only son of John and Margaret Gregory (3). The Albert Gregory Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Albert Charles Gregory was born in the Clare District in 1882 to parents William Alfred Gregory and Elizabeth Ann Penn (2). The ‘all Gregory’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of William Alfred Gregory and Elizabeth Ann Penn reveals that they had 12 children, all born in the Clare District (2), but I’ll leave their names to the LDS data below, where more information on the same names and years is available. According to the LDS information, William Alfred Gregory was born on 21 Mar 1855 at Cowdown, Dry Creek SA, and died on 26 Oct 1922 at Mount Hope SA. His parents were William Gregory (born abt 1830, died 20 Jul 1880 nr Modbury SA) and Henrietta Louisa Westphal (born 1835, died 5 May 1912 Golden Grove SA), who had married before 1853. William Alfred Gregory was first married aged 24 yrs on 3 Jul 1879 at Greenwith SA to Elizabeth Ann Penn aged 22 yrs (born 1857, died 13 Aug 1913 Norwood SA). The children of William Alfred Gregory and Elizabeth Ann Penn, all born at Wandearah SA were [1] Edwin Thomas Gregory born 22 Jun 1880, died 7 Mar 1910 Port Lincoln SA; [2] Albert Charles Gregory born 12 Apr 1882; [3] Harry William Gregory born 13 Jul 1884; [4] Olive Frances Gregory born 12 Feb 1886; [5] Lilly Henrietta Gregory born 21 Oct 1887; [6] Arthur James Gregory born 9 Feb 1889; [7] Edith May Gregory born 17 Mar 1891; [8] Winifred Marion Gregory born 20 Dec 1892; [9] William Alfred Gregory born 22 Mar 1894; [10] Gilbert Edward Gregory born 21 Jul 1895; [11] Frank Allan Gregory born 20 Apr 1897; [12] Ivy Elsie Gregory born 9 Dec 1898. William Alfred Gregory was then married on 24 Nov 1914 in Adelaide, a widower aged 59 yrs to Emma Maria Gregory, a 60 yr old widow (born on 10 Sep 1853 in Adelaide) (4). Remaining on the LDS website, there is further data on the family of William Alfred Gregory and Elizabeth Ann Penn. The parents of Elizabeth Ann Penn were James Allen Penn and Frances Dewell; [2] Albert Charles Gregory was married on 29 Apr 1912 at Norwood to Florence Maud Crouch; [4] Olive Frances Gregory was married on 28 Sep 1910 in Mitchell SA to Otto Bernhard Havelberg; [5] Lilly Henrietta Gregory was married on 4 Nov 1908 in Mitchell to William Allan
Dorward (5). Further to the LDS information on the family of William Alfred Gregory and Emma Maria Gregory, her parents were Edward Gregory and Sarah Taylor Squire. Emma Maria Gregory had been previously married on 21 Dec 1876 in Gawler to William Steggall (6). Finally on the LDS website, we come to Florence Maud Crouch who was born in 1888 (no actual date or place are given) to parents Joshua George Crouch (born 30 Jun 1855 Paracombe SA) and Mary Jane Hoad (born 28 Aug 1855 Chain of Ponds SA, died 6 Jun 1914 Adelaide), who had married on 23 Jan 1873 at Prairie SA (7). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Florence Maud Crouch is not on their Birth Register. On a general Google search of ‘Joshua George Crouch and Mary Jane Hoad’ lead to the ‘AUS-SAGEN-L Archives’ of RootsWeb, part of Ancestry.com who talks about the Crouch family. The 12 children born to Joshua George Crouch and Mary Jane Hoad were [1] Amos Francis Crouch born 27th October 1874 and died 1934 in WA; [2] Mary Jane Crouch born 31st October 1881 and died 28th August 1937; [3] Walter George Crouch born 7th Febuary 1866 and died and died 5th January 1964; [4] Eleanor Minnie Crouch born 9th February 1891 and died 2nd August 1893; [5] Emily Ann Crouch born 12th February 1886 and died 1879; [6] Florence Maud Crouch born 20th February 1888 and died 19th May 1975; [7] Joshua William Crouch born 28th March 1873; [8] Evelyn May Crouch born 13th May 1879 and died 7th August 1967; [9] Joseph Alfred Crouch born 11th June 1884 and died 23rd January 1963; [10] Martha Isabel Ilean Crouch born 22nd June 1896 and died 24th February 1968; [11] Ella Beatrice Rose Crouch born 27th August 1900; [12] Alice Sarah Crouch born 4th September 1893 (8). There is little available information about Jason John Gregory, being too recent for genealogy websites. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have been in the Advertiser newspaper confirms one for Jason John Gregory 10 June 1991 (9). However, with Albert Charles Gregory having 6 brothers [along with the 5 sisters] there would be many relatives around the place to carry on the Gregory surname. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gregory_albert_charles_&_florence_maud.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gregory_jason_john.jpg 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I27604&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F42219&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F32479&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I246992&tree=SouthAustralia 8 http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/AUS-SAGEN/2007-07/1184077783 9 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-G.html 1155 Augusta Eda Grocke was born on 7 June 1909 and died on 6 Sept 1996, mother of Ronald (1), but no mention of a husband. Ronald George Grocke was born on 7 June 1928 {his mother’s 19th birthday} and died on 13 Sept 1993, husband of Betty, father of Robert & Terrie, Denise & Terry (2). The Ronald Grocke Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Ronald George Grocke was born in the Frome District in 1928 to mother Eda Augusta Grocke but father was unnamed (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Eda Augusta Grocke was born as Augusta Eda Grocke on 7 Jun 1909 in Appila SA to parents Bernard Reinhold Grocke and Paulina Martha Janz (4), and Ronald George Grocke was born on 7 Jun 1928 in Wilmington SA to father unrecorded and mother Eda Augusta Grocke (5), confirming their dates of birth as shown on the headstones. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/grocke_augusta_eda.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/grocke_ronald_george.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I520813 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I520858 1156 Herman Grotegut died aged 50 yrs on 21 May 1867; his wife Margaret Grotegut died aged 67 yrs on 27 May 1886 (1), making their respective years of birth c1817 and c1819. The Herman Grotegut Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1858 to Margaret Marshall (2). “Married: On the 16th September, at the Gawler Belt Inn, by the Rev Dr Mucke, Mr H Grotegut, to M Marshall” South Australian Register (Adelaide), Monday 20 September 1858 p2 (3). There are no births on the ‘all Grotegut’ Birth Index on GenealogySA, so apparently this couple had no children, at least none who were officially recorded. “Death: Grotegut: At Gawler Belt, on the 21st May, Mr Hermann Grotegut, aged 50 years” Bunyip (Gawler), Saturday 1 June 1867 p2 (4). Obituary: “With reference to the late Mr Grotegut, a correspondent supplies us with the following particulars: "Mr Herman Grotegut, for many years the much-respected landlord of the Gawler Belt Inn, came out about 20 years ago, and was by trade a cabinetmaker. His first engagement in the colony was with Mr Dehney, of Adelaide. In 1854 he removed to Gawler, where he was engaged three years with Mr Korfe. In 1857 he entered upon what was at the time ridiculed as a very hazardous experiment, by purchasing for £100 a two-acre swamp known as Stubbs’s Corner, at an angle of the two great roads leading to the North and to the Murray, where he erected the present Gawler Belt Hotel, and succeeded well as one of the most straight forward and popular landlords the colony has had. In 1858 he was married by Dr Muecke to Miss Margaret Marshall, sister of the eminent surveyor in Victoria. Some years ago he called the attention of an energetic friend to the injustice done to the northern settlers by successive Governments withholding from them the funds originally intended for constructing the Great North-road, when a Committee of settlers was formed, which never ceased its action till justice was done, to which end an interesting paper read by Mr Grotegut at one of its concluding sessions mainly contributed. Mr Grotegut's health was giving way for some time before his death, which was hastened by the upsetting of his gig. His funeral was numerously attended, the service being gone through partly in German by Dr Muecke, a German hymn concluding the obsequies. Deceased has left a widow in comfortable circumstances" The South Australian Advertiser, Thursday 6 June 1867 p2 (5). On a Google of Herman Grotegut and Margaret Marshall there was a website discussing the Voyages to SA of the ship The Pauline of 500 tons that was owned by Friedrich Meyer and Co of Bremen. Under the command of captain Lüder Stelljes the Pauline made three voyages to South Australia, the first arriving in Port Adelaide on 27 Sep 1846. The passenger list of this first voyage shows included amongst the Steerage Passengers was Hermann Grotegut (born abt 1817) (6). It seems that Herman and Margaret Grotegut did have children: “CE Tidemann was arrested on a charge laid by Mr R Fotheringham, late of Gawler, for appropriating trust monies the property of a German family, named Grotegut, the husband and father of which died three or four years ago” The Wallaroo Times and Mining Journal, Wednesday 21 June 1871 p2 (7). Emma Grotegut was at least one of their children: “Police Courts: Adelaide: Friday, June 23 [Before Mr S Beddome PM] ........ In the adjourned case of Charles Edward Tidemann, charged by Robert Fotheringhamwith appropriating £260, which he held as trustee for Margaret and Emma Grotegut, Mr Bruce, for the prosecution, said he had advised his client not to proceed further, and with the consent of his learned friend for the defence (Mr AG Downer) he wished to withdraw the information. Mr Downer said he had no objection, and the information was accordingly withdrawn” South Australian Register (Adelaide), Saturday 24 June 1871 p3 (8). On the Town of Gawler website, Herman Grotegut aged 50 yrs who last resided at Gawler Belt was buried on 22 May 1867 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 32 Q 4, with Fr Muecke officiating (9), and Margaret Grotegut aged 67 yrs who last resided in Largs Bay was
buried on 29 May 1886 at Willaston Cemetery in the same Plot/Grave/Niche 32 Q 4, with Rev JAS Gordon officiating (10). Herman Grotegut was the first to be buried in the new Willaston Cemetery: “An Unbroken Family: Bowed over with age, a stout stick his faithful menial, there is a well known figure in Gawler — Mr John Patrick McCann .... arrived in Gawler on May 24, 1855, the town being gay with bunting for Queen Victoria's birthday. ..... In these forty years he saw many changes in Gawler, and realised that time was passing as many good men went to their last rest on the hill at Willaston.

The Gordon Grubb Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Gordon Cuthbert Grubb was married in Adelaide in 1928 to Mary Agnes Schwerdt (2). Gordon Grubb dies: “The death occurred in Adelaide, on Tuesday, of Mr Gordon C Grubb (brother of Mr E Grubb, of the Superintendent's Office at Peterborough), at the early age of 39 years. He was employed by the SAR Department and stationed at Gawler. He was the fourth son of Mr and Mrs WC Grubb, of Strathalbyn, and leaves a widow and two daughters to mourn their sad loss” The Times and Northern Advertiser, Peterborough SA, Friday 18 February 1938 p2 (3), and “Deaths: Grubb: On the 15th of February, at Adelaide, Gordon Cuthbert Grubb, late of SAR, Gawler, beloved husband of Mary Agnes Grubb, of Fifth street, Gawler, loving father of Betty and Lois, and fourth son of Mr and Mrs WC Grubb, of Strathalbyn, aged 39 years” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Wednesday 16 February 1938 p14 (4). Mary Grubb dies: “Deaths: Grubb: On March 27, at her residence, 152 Murray street, Gawler, Mary Agnes, beloved wife of the late Gordon C Grubb, and loved mother of Betty (Mrs Zimmermann) and Lois” News (Adelaide), Thursday 27 March 1952 p5 (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Gordon Cuthbert Grubb was born on 26 Dec 1898 in Bordertown SA to parents William Christopher Grubb {born abt 1855} and Annie Maria Grubb fmly Trethown nee Cox {born abt 1870}. Gordon Cuthbert Grubb was married aged 29 yrs to Mary Agnes Schwerdt aged 26 yrs (born 19 Sep 1902 in Hamley Bridge SA to father Hugo Oswad Schwerdt) at the St Francis Xavier Cathedral Adelaide on the 6 Nov 1928. Gordon Grubb of Gawler South died aged 39 yrs on 15 Feb 1938 in hospital in Adelaide (6). “Engagements: Grubb— Zimmermann: The engagement is announced of Betty Lorraine, elder daughter of Mrs and the late Mr GC Grubb, of Gawler, to Lyel Desmond, youngest son of Mr and the late Mrs GWR Zimmermann, of Renmark” The Advertiser, Wednesday 1 February 1950 p18 (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/grubb_gordon_cuthbert_&_mary_agnes.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/110216915?searchTerm=gordon grubb&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30845276?searchTerm=gordon grubb&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/129875300?searchTerm=Mary%20Agnes%20grubb&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I8683 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/50212897?searchTerm=Mary%20Agnes%20grubb&searchLimits= 1158 Audrey Guerin was born on 18 April 1915 and died on 12 May 1996; her husband Raymond Thomas Guerin was born on 2 Dec 1909 and died on 16 Sept 2006; parents of Lynette, Glenis, Rhonda and Jillian (1). There is no Raymond Thomas Guerin Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but the corresponding Birth Index shows that he was born in the Daly District in 1909 to parents Thomas Patrick Guerin and Minnie Kelly (2). There is no record of this engagement leading to a marriage: “Engagements: Pahl—Guerin: The engagement is announced of Myrtle, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs F Pahl, of Pinnaroo, to Raymond Thomas, only son of Mr and Mrs T Guerin, of Keith” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 16 October 1930 p55 (3). Nor is there a record using Trove searches, or on GenealogySA, of the marriage between Raymand Guerin and Audrey Hay, but the following birth notices appear: “Guerin (nee Audrey Hay) On the 22nd of May, at the Naracoorte Hospital to the wife of RT Guerin —a daughter (Lynette Rae).” The Advertiser, Friday 9 June 1939 p18 (4), and Guerin (nee Audrey Hay): On September 23, at Naracoorte Hospital, to Mr and Mrs Ray Guerin, of Hynam —a daughter (Glenis Ruth)” The Advertiser, Wednesday 7 October 1942 p8 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/guerin_audrey_&_raymond_thomas.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90466457 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/49810778 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48886134 1159 Etta May Gullekson died aged 53 yrs on 13 Dec 1948; her husband Roy ie Harrold Roy Gullekson died aged 79 yrs on 19 March 1972, making their respective years of birth c1895 and c1893. The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has spelt Harrold Gullekson’s first name with only one ‘r’, which may be correct but it is not what the headstone says. Also they say that Etta May Gullekson died in 1945 (2), but I feel that the headstone reads 1948. The Etta May Gullekson Death Index at GenealogySA shows that she died in Gawler in 1948, with nominated relative her husband Harold Roy Gullekson (3), and to prove the point, her death notice: “Gullekson: On December 13, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Etta May, beloved wife of Harold Roy Gullekson, 12 Twenty-first st, Gawler South, aged 53 years” The Advertiser, Tuesday 14 December 1948 p12 (4). It also now seems more likely that the headstone has misspelt Harold Roy Gullekson’s first name, but the transcript must surely reproduce what the headstone says. There is no Harold Gullekson Birth Index at GenealogySA but the Harrold Gullekson Birth Index shows that Harrold Roy Gullekson was born in the Daly District in 1893 to parents Charles Gertrell Gullekson and Grace Roseworn (3). There is no Harrold Gullekson Marriage Index at GenealogySA and the ‘all Gullekson’ Birth Index contains just one name, the birth of the afore-mentioned Harrold Roy Gullekson. It is more difficult therefore to find Etta May Gullekson’s maiden name. Then by widening the search, the Harold Gullekson {and similar
sounding surnames] Marriage Index shows that Harold Roy Gullickson[sic] was married in 1917 in the Upper Wakefield District to Etta May Grigg (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Etta May Grigg was born on 2 Feb 1895 in Beaufort SA to parents Jacob Grigg and Sarah Anne Everett (5), and Harrold Roy Gullekson was born on 9 Oct 1893 in Kulpara SA to parents Charles Gertrell Gullekson and Grace Roseworn (6), confirming that Etta May was 53 yrs old when she died in 1948, but that Harrold Roy was aged only 78 yrs, in his 79th year, when he died 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gullekson_etta_may_&_harold_roy.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43795630?searchTerm=Gullekson%20Etta%20May&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I7445 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I9045 1160 Walter Nicholls Gum died aged 72 yrs on 30 July 1971; his wife Millie Gum died aged 92 yrs on 15 April 1996; this headstone is not easy to read. The Walter Gum Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Walter Nicholls Gum was married in Adelaide in 1934 to Amelia Brown (2). Was Amelia Gum nee Brown called by the more familiar name Millie? By searching on Trove for “Brown Gum”, not easy to avoid a lot of references to trees, we find: “Marriage: Gum — Brown: On the 14th March, at Glenelg, by the Rev Smith, Walter N, elder son of Mrs and the late Mr W Gum, of Willowie, to Millie, youngest daughter of Mr and the late Mrs J Brown, of Walloway” The Advertiser, Wednesday 11 April 1934 p14 (3), thus showing that Amelia Brown who married Walter N Gum in 1934 was called Millie Brown on her wedding announcement. As a final proof we will find her father’s initial {hopefully Mr J Brown} when we seek her birth details. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Walter Nicholls Gum was born on 15 Dec 1898 in Pinda SA to parents Walter Gum and Prudence Annie Ophelia Nicholls (4), and Amelia Brown was born on 16 Apr 1903 in Coomooroo SA to parents James Brown and Charlotte McKellan (5), and her father was a Mr J Brown. She was indeed 92 yrs when she died, but only one day short of her 93rd birthday. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gum_walter_nicholls_&_millie.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47550223?searchTerm=brown gum&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I9055 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I321734 1161 Janet Gundry died aged 46 yrs on 27 April 1896; Richard Henry Gundry died aged 72 yrs on 18 Aug 1918 (1), making their respective years of birth c1850 and c1846. The Richard Gundry Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows 3 marriages for Richard Henry Gundry, whether or not they are all the same person. [1] Richard Henry Gundry was married in 1871 in the Barossa District to Janet McSkimming; [2] Richard Henry Gundry was married in 1896 in the Barossa District to Clara Maud Penney; [3] Richard Henry Gundry was married in 1901 in Adelaide to Susan Jane McPharlin (2). The ‘all Gundry’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Richard Henry Gundry and Janet __ shows 2 children born to Richard Henry Gundry and Janet McSkimming [1] Richard Henry Gundry b1872 in the Barossa District [2] Beatrice Emily Gundry b1874 in the Daly District (2). The ‘all Gundry’ Birth Index shows there were 4 children born to Richard Henry Gundry {Jnr} and Clara Maud Penney, all born in the Port Gawler District [1] Reginald Albert Victor Gundry b1897; [2] Henry Norman Gundry b1898; [3] Beatrice Maude Gundry b1903; [4] Blanche Irene Gundry b1910 (2). The Richard Henry Gundry Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Richard Henry Gundry {Snr} died in Adelaide in 1918 and Richard Henry Gundry {Jnr} died in Adelaide in 1950 (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there are no births records for Janet McSkimming or Richard Henry Gundry {Snr} at RootsWeb, but their son Richard Henry Gundry was born on 13 Oct 1872 in Gawler (3). Death of Mrs Janet Gundry: “On the 27th of April, at Willaston Hotel, the dearly-beloved wife of RH Gundry, age 46 years” Bunyip, Friday 5 June 1896 p2 (4). Richard Henry Gundry {Jnr} marries: “Gundry—Penney: On the 20th June, at the Congregational Church, Gawler, by the Rev Walter Jones, Richard Henry, son of RH Gundry, of Gawler, to Clara Maud, second daughter of John Knott Penney, of Adelaide” The Advertiser, Friday 31 July 1896 p4 (5). Richard Henry Gundry {Snr} dies: “Gundry: On the 18th August, at the residence of Mr F Lines, 200 Prospect-road, Prospect, Richard Henry, beloved husband of Susan Jane Gundry (late of Gawler), aged 72 years” The Advertiser, Monday 19 August 1918 p4 (6). Susan Jane Gundry dies: “Gundry: On the 14th February, Susan Jane, the dearly loved mother of Elsie G Lines and the late GV Bassett, aged 77 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 21 February 1925 p39 (7). Richard Henry Gundry {Jnr} dies: “Gundry: On December 6 (suddenly), Richard Henry, beloved husband of Clara Maude Gundry, of 98 Ifould street, Adelaide, loving father of Norman, Jean, Ernie and Irene, also Reg and Maude deceased, grandpa of Pat, Des, Robert and Dianne, aged 78 years” The Advertiser, Friday 8 December 1950 p26 (8). Richard Henry Gundry was a publican: “The Liquor Trade: A Disputed Account: A Publican Victorious. At the Gawler Local Court on Tuesday before Messrs W Johnstone and BE Deland JP, Mr RH Gundry, licencee of the Willaston Hotel, sued Mr ____, of Angle Vale, for £6 17s 8d for liquor, money lent, etc. .... Richard Henry Gundry, the plaintiff, said ....... supplied most of the liquor himself, the other being supplied by his wife and daughter. .... Beatrice Emily Gundry, daughter of the previous witness, testified .... Plaintiff was entitled to a verdict for the full amount claimed” Bunyip, Friday 28 June 1895 p3 (9). Finally, the following ties it all together and explains the Bassett, Lines and Orchard connections: On a website devoted to the family of ‘The Orchards, the Fourth Generation of Twenty Families in South Cornwall’, there is discussion about Hannibal Orchard, the seventh or eighth child of William Orchard and Betty Cooke. Hannibal Orchard was baptised on 9 Apr 1819 at Mawgan‑in‑Meneage, Cornwall, England, was married in 1846 in Cornwall, and died aged 66 yrs on 6 Apr 1886 in Gawler South SA, in the Port Gawler District. He was a previously a labourer and publican of Aberdeen and in SA, was a labourer (1856-1857), clerk (1859), and railway superintendent (1865) of Bassett Town SA. His wife was Mary Blewett who was born in Cornwall in 1826 to parents William Blewett (publican and mine agent of Gwinear) and Mary Thomas. Mary Orchard nee Blewett died aged 82 yrs on 27 Apr 1906 in Bassett Town. Hannibal Orchard and Mary Thomas had arrived in SA as a married couple in 1850 aboard the Fatima, with two children, Susan and Elizabeth. They had 12 children in total, their first born was Susan Jane Orchard born in 1846 Mawgan‑in‑Meneage, Cornwall. She was married 3 times, the last time to Richard Henry Gundry in1901, and she died on 5 Jun 1927 at Lyndoch. Susan Jane Orchard was first married on 3 Oct 1867 in St Georges Church, Gawler to George Vospar Bassett (born 20 Sep 1844 Gawler to parents William Bassett {born 1800, died 8 Jan 1859 Bassett Town SA} and Elizabeth Vosper {born 1797, died 13 Jul 1864 Bassett Town}. George Vospar Bassett was a carrier and farmer of Gawler and Bassett Town, who died on 7 Sep 1887. The children of George Vospar Bassett and Susan Jane Orchard were [[A]] George Vosper Bassett born 13 May 1872 Bassett Town SA. He was married on 18 Feb 1896 at the Wesleyan Church Pirie Street Adelaide to Beatrice Emily Gundry (born 19 Nov 1874 at Moonta Mines SA to parents Richard Henry Gundry and Janet McSkimming. The children of George Vosper Bassett and Beatrice Emily Gundry were [1] Dorothy Janet Bassett born 7 Jun 1896 Willaston SA, and was married on 30
Mar 1918 at St James Church West Adelaide, to Leslie Roy Waldemar Hartwig, born in 1896, to father Andreas Christian Theodor Hartwig; [2] Raymond Jane Bassett {female} born 15 Sep 1898 Lewiston SA, was married on 19 Jul 1919 at St James Church West Adelaide to Alfred Bowden Pegler born 1896 to father William Henry Pegler; [3] Douglas Murray Bassett born 29 Aug 1901 Port Gawler; [4] Glenville Vosper Bassett born 25 Apr 1904 North Adelaide, and was married on 15 Jun 1929 Baptist Church Southwark SA to Elsa Grace Richardson, born 1905 to father Walter Thomas Richardson; [5] Keith Gundry Bassett born 21 May 1906 Bassett Town, Gawler, and was married on 29 Dec 1934 at the Methodist Church Elgin SA to Edith Marion Armes born 1908, the daughter of Charles Walter Armes; [6] Clement George Bassett born 1908 SA and was married on 17 Apr 1935 in South Adelaide to Eva Myrtle Slater born abt 1908; [8] Thelma Joyce Bassett born 1910 SA, and was married on 9 Oct 1935 Adelaide to William James Keogh born abt 1910. The second child of George Vospar Bassett and Susan Jane Orchard was [[B]] Elsie Gertrude Bassett born 2 Aug 1878 Bassett Town, and was married on 8 Apr 1901 at St Georges Church Gawler to Frederick LINES born 7 Oct 1874 Nairne SA to parents Frederick Lines and Sophia Gibson. The children of Frederick Lines and Elsie Gertrude Bassett were [1] Gwendolyn Bassett Lines born 22 Apr 1902 Gawler; [2] Gwendolyn Bassett Lines born 17 May 1904 Gawler, and was married on 18 Jan 1930 at St Cuthberts Church Prospect, SA to Reginald Aubrey Buckley born 1906 to father Robert Aubrey Buckley; [3] Frederick Crawford Lines born 17 Nov 1905 East Gawler. Susan Jane Bassett nee Orchard was married as a widow for the second time on 14 Aug 1889 at Pirie Street Church, Adelaide to William born 1851 to father John McPharlin, and the third marriage of Susan Jane McPharlin fmly Bassett nee Orchard was on 10 Apr 1901 at Stow Memorial Church, Adelaide to Richard Henry Gundry a widower b1857[sic] (10). Unfortunately it hasn’t helped me find the precise dates of birth of Richard Henry Gundry {Snr} and Janet McSkimming. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gundry_janet_&_richard_henry.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I9796 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97577165?searchTerm=gundry&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/34554517?searchTerm=gundry&searchLimits= 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5582452?searchTerm=gundry&searchLimits= 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87510489?searchTerm=gundry%20McPharlin&searchLimits= 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45684360?searchTerm=gundry&searchLimits= 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97570847?searchTerm=Gundry&searchLimits=l-title=371 10 http://members.iinet.net.au/~kjstew/Orch3-William%20&%20Elizabeth.htm 1162 Margaret Gunn died aged 73 yrs on 8 June 1903, and her headstone is amongst members of the Whelan family, especially children of P&C Whelan (1). Her year of birth would be c1830. The Margaret Gunn Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when she died in the Barossa District in 1903, the nominated relative was her deceased husband James Gunn (2), but there is no suitable James Gunn Marriage Index. Were they married before they came to SA or was their union just not officially recorded in those early days of the colony? The Town of Gawler website says that Margaret Gunn aged 78[sic] years who last resided at Willaston was buried on 8 June 1903 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 3 D 3, with Father O'Neil officiating (3). The ‘all Whelan’ Birth Index seeking offspring of P & C Whelan shows 3 births born to parents Patrick Whelan and Catherine Gunn, all in the Barossa District [1] Mary Whelan b1886; [2] Daniel Whelan b1887; [3] Thomas Whelan b1890 (2). So what relationship was Margaret to Catherine Gunn? Could Margaret and James Gunn have been the parents of Catherine Whelan nee Gunn? Unfortunately, I cannot find the link so far, not even a death notice for Margaret Gunn in 1903. A birth around 1830 or even 1825 if the Burial Records at Gawler are correct would preclude her being born in SA, so it would be hard to find her precise date of birth anyway. Without a middle name, or a maiden name, this is even harder. A general Google search didn’t help. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gunn_margaret.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=31308 1163 Annie Bertha Gunther died aged 81 yrs on 20 May 1967 (1), making her year of birth c1886. The ‘all Gunther’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Christian August Gunther was married in the Burra District in 1907 to Annie Bertha Kuhl (2). The ‘all Gunther’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows 2 distinct families of Christian August Gunther. The first set of parents was Christian August Gunther and Anna Wilhelmine Hoffmann who had their first child in the Kapunda District and the next 5 in the Baroassa District. These children were [1] Johann Gottlieb Gunther b1879; [2] Anna Mathilda Gunther b1881; [3] Christian August Gunther b1883; [4] Friedrich Wilhelm Gunther b1885; [5] Emma Wilhelmine Gunther b1889; [6] Auguste Minna Gunther b1892 (2). The above Christian August Gunther b1883 was the one who married Annie Bertha Kuhl in 1907. The children of Christian August Gunther and Annie / Anna Bertha Kuhl were all born in the Kapunda District except the twins b1910 in the Barossa District [1] Gladys Stella Gunther b1908; [2] Alvira Elva Gunther b1909; [3] Norma Adeline Gunther b1910; [4] Ivy Rosetta Gunther b1910; [5] Annie May Gunther b1912; [6] Norman George Gunther b1915; [7] Mabel Doreen Gunther b1916; [8] Patricia Doreen Gunther b1927 (2). According to LDS data, Christian August Gunther (Snr) was born in 1851 to parents Johann Christian Gunther (b1814, died 25 Jan 1897 at Greenock SA) and Mrs Dorothea Elizabeth Gunther (b1813, died on 14 Jan 1889 Greenock). Christian August Gunther (Snr) was married age 26 yrs on 21 Feb 1878 at Rowland Flats SA to Wilhelmine Anna Hoffmann age 24 yrs, born in 1853. The children of Christian August Gunther (Snr) and Wilhelmine Anna Hoffmann were [1] Frederick Franz Gunther born 23 Jul 1878 SA, died 31 Jul 1878 Waterloo SA; [2] Johann Gottlieb Gunther born 10 Oct 1879 Waterloo; [3] Anna Mathilda Gunther born 17 Sep 1881 nr Greenock SA; [4] Christian August Gunther (Jnr) born 29 Aug 1883 Greenock; [5] Friedrich Wilhelm Gunther born 18 Aug 1885 Greenock; [6] Emma Wilhelmine Gunther born 19 Nov 1889 Greenock; [7] Auguste Minna Gunther born 19 Dec 1892 Greenock (3). Further information is also found on the LDS website about the family of Christian August Gunther and Wilhelmine Anna Hoffmann. The father of Wilhelmine Anna Hoffmann was Thomas Gotthilf Samuel Hoffmann. Of the children, [2] Johann Gottlieb Gunther was married on 10 Aug 1911 at Bower SA to Hermine Amalie Bertha Lewan; [3] Anna Mathilda Gunther was married on 4 Sep 1900 in Adelaide to Thomas William Corney; [4] Christian August Gunther was married on 19 Jun 1907 at Geranium Plains SA to Anna Bertha Kuhl; [5] Friedrich Wilhelm Gunther was married on 10 Aug 1908 in Adelaide to Mary Ann Burgess; [6] Emma Wilhelmine Gunther was married on 20 Feb 1907 in Kapunda to Edward Henry Burgess; [7] Auguste Minna Gunther was married on 26 Feb 1913 in Kapunda to Robert John Sanders (4). Still using LDS data, Anna Bertha Kuhl was born on 24 Sep 1885 at Head of English SA to parents Hermann August Kuhl (b1850, died 21 Aug 1913 Eudunda SA) and Auguste Steinhardt. Anna Bertha Kuhl was married aged 21 yrs on 19 Jun 1907 at Geranium Plains to Christian August Gunther, born on 29 Aug 1883 Greenock (5). The LDS website also tells us that the children of Hermann August Kuhl and Auguste Steinhardt were [1] Edward Rudolph Kuhl born on 14 Dec 1879 at Maitland SA; [2] Emma Auguste Kuhl born on 22 Dec 1880 at Point Pass SA, and was married on 7 Feb 1901 at Geranium Plains SA to Friedrich Samuel Hausler; [3] Wilhelm Otto Kuhl born on 22 Jul 1882 at Head of English SA, was married on 10 Feb 1916 at Bethel

To confirm the birth date of Annie Bertha Kuhl, a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Annie Bertha Kuhl was born Anna Bertha Kuhl on 24 Sep 1885 in the Hd of English SA to parents Herrman Kuhl and Auguste Steinhard 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gunther_annie_bertha.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I140343&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F41746&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I118741&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F26734&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I69771 Florence May Guppy died aged 55 yrs on 28 May 1967; her husband Percival Charles Guppy died aged 90 yrs on 19 Aug 1997, parents of Evelyn, Brian, Pauline, Kathleen, John and Christine (1), their respective years of birth are c1912 and c1907. In a meagre 1958 immigration file at the National Archives of Australia, there is the information that Percival Charles Guppy born 1907, Florence May Guppy born 1911, Richard John Guppy born 1946 and Christine Ann Guppy born 1949 all departed from Southampton aboard the Orsova on 26 March 1958 (2), no doubt heading for Australia. This explains the dearth of detail on SA births and marriages websites for this family, but it hasn’t helped with precise dates of birth or a maiden name. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/guppy_florence_may_&_percival_charles.jpg 2 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=925107&isAv=N John Edward Guthrie died aged 44 yrs on 13 Aug 1990, husband of Anneliese, father of Aaron, Dean, Paul and Amanda (1). His birth is too recent for genealogy websites, and we’ll go straight to Newspaper Searches using Trove around his estimated year of birth c1946. There is one Birth Notice that may be relevant “Births: Guthrie (nee Grant): On August 22, at Memorial Hospital, to Jeanette and Allan — a son” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 29 August 1946 p16 (2), but without his name being given, I certainly am not sure this is John Edward Guthrie announced here. I cannot find any other data, not even on the Vietnam War Nominal Roll. There was a Lance Corporal John Edward Guthrie on the World War One Nominal Roll enlisted on 21 Oct 1915 in 56th Battalion and returned to Australia on 31 March 1919 (3), who may have been an ancestor bearing the same name, but this is even a longer bow than the birth notice. On the AIF Project website which is about the WWI ANZACs, John Edward Guthrie was a single labourer from Wyalong NSW who enlisted on 18 October 1915 in 56th Battalion, citing as next of kin, his mother Mrs J Guthrie, Christchurch NZ. He embarked from Sydney NSW on board HMAT A54 Runic on 20 January 1916 aged 26 years, as part of 20th Battalion, 9th Reinforcement. Lance Corporal Guthrie returned to Australia on 31 March 1919 (4), but all this is out of interest, rather than directly related to the John Edward Guthrie buried here. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/guthrie_john_edward.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93127826?searchTerm="John Edward" Guthrie&searchLimits= 3 http://www.awm.gov.au/people/rolls/nominal_rolls/first_world_war/page/R1555183/ 4 https://www.aif.adfa.edu.au/showPerson?pid=121677 Heinrich Albert Gutsche died aged 79 yrs on 30 March 1956; Helena Alma Gutsche died aged 97 yrs on 1 June 1978 (1), making their years of birth c1877 and c1881 respectively. The “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has put the details for Helena Alma Gutsche against her husband’s name, and his details against hers (2), and needs to be corrected, and they’ve also spelt Heinrich as ‘Henrich’. The ‘H Gutsche’ Marriage index at GenealogySA shows that Heinrich Albert Gutsche was married in the Barossa District in 1916 to Helene Alma Gramp (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Heinrich Albert Gutsche was born on 26 Nov 1876 in SA to parents Johann Friedrich Carl Gutsche and Maria Auguste Guldner (4), and Helena Alma Gramp was born on 25 Jan 1881 at Rowland Flat SA to parents Gustav Gramp and Louisa Koch (5). Once the dates of death and ages of death are corrected, we confirm that Heinrich Albert Gutsche died aged 79 yrs in 1956; and Helena Alma Gutsche died aged 97 yrs in 1978. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/e-g/gutsche_heinrich_albert_&_helena_alma.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I10141 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I3001 Benjamin Gustav Haensch was born in 1855 and died in 1948; his daughter Alwine Bertha Haensch was born in 1893 and died in 1982 (1), and I have had to rely somewhat on the “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery for this information (2), as the headstone inscription is hard to read. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Alwine Bertha Haensch was born as Alvine[sic] Bertha Haensch on 23 Jul 1893 in Wilmington SA to parents Benjamine[sic] Gustave[sic] Haensch and Anna Koop (3). The ‘all Haensch’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Benjamin Gustav Haensch and Anna Koop shows 3 likely births to father Benjamin Gustav Haensch, all in the Frome District [1] Ella Dorothea Haench b1889 to parents Benjamin Gustav Haench and Amy Lobe; [2] Gustav Hermann Haensch b1891 to parents Benjamin Gustav Haensch and Hannah Koop; [3] Alvine Bertha Haensch b1893 to parents Benjamine Gustave Haensch and Anna Koop (4). Benjamin Gustav Haensch dies: “Haensch: On February 24, at his daughter's residence (Mrs Qualman), Evanston, near Gawler, Benjamin Gustav, aged 93 years” The Advertiser, Wednesday 25 February 1948 p8 (5). I’m guessing that Mrs Qualman was Ella Dorothea nee Haensch, but there’s no evidence of this at GenealogySA. However, on a Trove search for a marriage notice: “Marriages: Qualmann— Haensch: On the 13th August, in Adelaide, John H Qualmann, to Ella Dorothea, elder daughter of BG and the late ASC Haensch, of Salisbury” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 6 September 1934 p45 (6). The Anna Haensch Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Anna Sophia Haensch died in Adelaide in 1925, with nominated relative her husband Benjamin August[sic] Haensch (4). The Savill Index for Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser newspaper has one for Alvina Bertha Haensch on 15 Oct 1982 (7), meaning that her death would have been a day or two before that. However, the precise date is elusive, as is the birth date of Benjamin Gustav Haensch. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haensch_benjamin_gustav_&_alwine_bertha.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I45327

The Lucy Hague Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when Lucy Mary Ann Hague died in Gawler in 1958, the nominated relative was her still living husband Albert John Hague (2). There is no Albert Hague Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but the corresponding Death Index shows that Albert John Hague died in the Port Adelaide District in 1963, and there was no nominated relative recorded (2). The ‘all Hague’ Birth Index at GenealogySA does not show any children born to this pair, so it is not easy to find her maiden name. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the only ‘Lucy Mary Ann’ born c1885 in SA was Lucy Mary Ann Crouch who was born on 16 Aug 1884 in Prairie SA to parents Joseph Benjamin Crouch and Lucy Frances Laver (2). On the LDS website, Joseph Benjamin Crouch was born on 1 Mar 1860 at Torrens Farm SA, died on 12 May 1946 SA, and is buried at Cudlee Creek SA. His parents were Joshua Crouch (born 1820 England, died on 14 Oct 1887 O'Halloran Hill SA) and Sarah Ann Brook (born 1821 Ninfield, Sussex, England, died 1880 SA), who had married in Sussex before 1841. Joseph Benjamin Crouch was a market gardener who had lived at Prairie SA, and Cudlee Creek. He was married on 21 Aug 1883 at Dutton SA to Lucy Frances Laver (born 27 Nov 1861 at Levis Waterhole SA to parents Charles Laver and Mary Jane Brook; she died on 16 May 1951 SA and also is buried at Cudlee Creek). The children of Joseph Benjamin Crouch and Lucy Frances Laver were [1] Lucy Mary Ann Hague formerly Morris nee Crouch born 16 Aug 1884 Prairie; [2] Elsie May Camelia Grace nee Crouch b 29 Jan 1886 Prairie; [3] Julia Sophia Blanche Patterson nee Crouch born 30 Aug 1887 Prairie, died 20 June 1967; [4] Hilda Gertrude Maud Camm nee Crouch born 21 Jul 1889 Prairie; [5] Ralph Clilfton Crouch born 5 Jul 1891 Prairie; [6] Benjamin Clifford Crouch born 24 Sep 1893 Prairie, died 31 July 1917 WWI; [7] Phillis Olga Victoria Redden nee Crouch born 12 Oct 1895 Prairie, died 2 June 1954; [8] Henry Stanley Dawson Crouch born 12 Apr 1897 nr Millbrook SA died 23 June 1971; [9] Vera Elizabeth Tennyson Hille nee Crouch born 27 Sep 1899 Prairie; [10] Isla Jean Idel Redden nee Crouch born 9 Mar 1902 Prairie (3). Thus the birth of the eldest child proves the link: Lucy Mary Ann Hague formerly Morris nee Crouch was born 16 Aug 1884 and was married twice, the second time to Mr Hague, presumably Albert John Hague 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hague_lucy_mary_ann.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I230810 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I103817&tree=SouthAustralia 1169 Janet Haldane, wife of John died aged 70 yrs on 12 Dec 1874 (1). John Haldane died aged 71 yrs on 4 July 1876 (2). According to the information on the LDS website, John Haldane was born on 4 Oct 1805 at Colmonell, Ayrshire, Scotland, and died on 4 Jul 1876 at Gawler Plains SA. His parents were John Haldane and Elizabeth McIlwain both of Scotland, and John Haldane (Jnr) was married on 17 Feb 1826 in Scotland to Janet Macreedie (born 2 Feb 1804 Kirkcolm, Wigtownshire, Scotland, died 12 Dec 1874 Gawler Plains). John Haldane (Jnr) and family arrived in SA in 1848 aboard the Bolton, and resided in Gawler where John was a farmer. The children of John Haldane (Jnr) and Janet Macreedie were [1] John McCredie Haldane born 15 Nov 1826 Girvan, Ayrshire, Scotland, died 29 Apr 1889 NZ; [2] Elizabeth Potts nee Haldane born 1828, died 1900; [3] Thomas Haldane born 7 Nov 1829 Ayrshire, died 20 Dec 1905 Adelaide; [4] William Haldane born 12 Dec 1831 Colmonell, Ayrshire, died 31 Aug 1901 Yaranyacka SA; [5] James Haldane born abt 1835 Scotland, d1839; [6] Jane Young Coward nee Haldane born 1837 Ayrshire, died 4 Nov 1881 Adelaide; [7] Robert Haldane born 1838 Ayrshire, died 22 Nov 1888 Hackney SA; [8] Janet Haldane born 1839 Scotland, died 1839 Scotland (3). Further information can also be had on the LDS website about the family of John Haldane and Janet Macreedie: [1] John McCredie Haldane was married on 8 Mar 1855 in Adelaide to Christina Ross; [2] Elizabeth Haldane was married on 15 Nov 1849 in Adelaide to Robert Potts; [3] Thomas Haldane was married on 9 Jun 1852 in Adelaide to Eliza Willock Dawson; [4] William Haldane was married on 7 Sep 1855 at Union Grove nr Gawler to Margaret Blackwood; [6] Jane Young Haldane was married on 30 Jan 1854 in Kooringa SA to George Coward; [7] Robert Haldane was married on 20 Aug 1873 in Strathalbyn SA to Eliza Ann McLean (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haldane_janet.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haldane_john.jpg 3 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I138956&tree=SouthAustralia 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F41252&tree=SouthAustralia 1170 Sarah Hall died at Willaston aged 83 yrs on 3 June 1903, her headstone erected by her children (1), but no other names, and no mention of her husband. The Sarah Hall Death Index at GenealogySA shows that when she died in the Barossa District in 1903, the nominated relative was her deceased husband Thomas Hall (2). But was he the father of her children? The answer is no, her first husband was Richard Panter and she only married Mr Thomas Hall late in life, as can be read in the following obituary: The Late Mrs Sarah Hall: An Interesting Career: The late Mrs Sarah Hall, who died at Willaston on Wednesday, had lived in this neighbourhood longer than any other lady resident. The deceased lady was born in Birmingham, England, on July 20, 1820, and had thus nearly completed her 83rd year. Her father had fought in the battle of Waterloo, and she married a soldier, the late Mr Richard Panter, in 1841. Two months after their union the couple left for the new Nelson settlement, New Zealand, which was reached nearly five months afterwards. Messrs James and Thomas Magarey, afterwards residents of S Aus, were passengers by the same ship. There were between 400 and 500 on board, including women and children. This was the first vessel that took women to that part of New Zealand. The first night they slept on land, rats swarmed all over them, and other vermin made them feel very uncomfortable. Shortly afterwards a large number of the men were killed by Maories. The details of this massacre were of a shocking nature. Mr Panter had a miraculous escape. In 1846 the couple and their two children came to South Australia and in November 1846, settled at Gawler. They were conveyed from Adelaide in a bullock dray. They camped at Little Para one night and when they arrived here could not get a home. They first stayed in a stable at Fotheringham's brewery, and then Mr Calton of the Old Spot Hotel allowed them two stalls at the back of the hotel. Other people were likewise accomodated, sheets or other linen being used as partitions. The family then moved into a pine cottage at the back of where Messrs Martin & Co’s offices now stand. They afterwards lived on Church Will on the site of the Roman Cathelic manse, that block having been purchased by Mr Panter. He eventually sold it to the late Captain Lawson, and Willaston then became the home of the Panter family. Mr Panter helped in the erection of the first Willaston bridge on the site of the present structure in 1848. He did a great deal of building during the first year of his residence. He erected what is believed to be tbe oldest building in tbe town, viz, the pine shanty now used as an harness room by Mr WH Baker in Reid-street. This waa built in 1848 or 1849. The late Mr Panter died in 1867. Tea years later his widow became the wife of Mr Thomas Hall, a respected farmer of the Gawler Plains, but the deceased lady became a widow a second time in 1878 and had ever since resided at Willaston. The late Mrs Hall was vigorous in mind and body. Up to the last moment her mental faculties were remarkably keen and her physical powers would probably have caused her to live many years had not she been

marked as a victim of that terrible scourge — cancer. The deceased lady was an enthusiastic member of the Methodist Church, and an energetic worker for that cause at Willaston ever since its establishment in 1867. She was much esteemed for her consistency and singleness of purpose. There survive two sons (Mr R Panter of Willaston and J Panter of Port Adelaide), four daughters (Mrs Isaacs of Broken Hill, Mrs H Pring of Willaston, Mrs T Verner of Two Wells, and Mrs Carroll of Kangaroo Flat), and a large number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The funeral took place yesterday, and was well attended. The coffin was taken into the Willaston Church on the way to the cemetery, and a short service conducted therein by the Revs CH Nield and AP Burgess. Messrs Taylor & Forgie were the undertakers” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 5 June 1903 p2 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hall_sarah.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97594127?searchTerm=sarah hall&searchLimits= Olive Ada Hall died aged 67 yrs on 11 Nov 1955 (1), meaning that her year of birth was c1888. There is no Olive Ada Hall Birth, Marriage or Death Index at GenealogySA, and the ‘all Hall’ Marriage Index shows that Leslie James Hall was married in Adelaide in 1923 to Olive Ada Branson (2). The ‘all Hall’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Leslie James Hall and Olive Ada Branson shows two births (up to the current 1928 cut-off), both in Adelaide, to this couple [1] Pauline Olive Hall b1924; [2] Donald Leslie Hall b1927 (2). However, there is no Olive Ada Branson Birth Index at GenealogySA, so was she not officialy registered when she was born in SA, or was she born somewhere else?

However, there is no Olive Ada Branson Birth Index at GenealogySA, so was she not officialy registered when she TM was born in SA, or was she born somewhere else? On a website called ‘Browse Ancestry Archive by Surname’, it tells us that Mr John Branson (1858-1938) was married in 1885 to Miss Caroline English (1862-1950). Their children were [1] Lilly May Branson born 1886; [2] Charles Henry Branson born 1888; [3] Olive Ada Branson born 1890; [4] Percival Warburton Branson born 1892; [5] Annie Beatrice Branson born 1898; [6] Stanley Gilbert Branson born 1900; [7] Gertrude Ursula Doreen Branson born 1904 (3). This says Olive Ada Branson was born in 1890, and not in my calculated 1888, and if this true, she could have only been in her 66th year when she died. On a different website of Ancestry.com, it tells us that Olive Ada Branson was born in Warburton Vic in 1890 to John Branson (1858-1938) and Caroline English (1862-1950). Olive Ada Branson married Leslie James Hall (1894-1960) and had 2 children. She died on 10 Nov 1955 in Adelaide (4). On a website dedicated to the ‘Branson Family History’, John Branson was born at Greenock SA on 13 March 1858. He married Caroline at Dalkey SA on 5th November 1885. Caroline English was born about 1862. John Branson died at Gawler on 31 Aug 1938. Caroline Branson nee English died on 8 June 1950. They had seven children, the 3rd of whom was Olive Ada Branson born at Warburton in 1890. She married Leslie James Hall in Adelaide on 29 Nov 1923. Leslie James Hall was born at Springbank SA on 31 October 1894, the son of James Hall and Lydia Loachel. Olive Ada Hall nee Branson died in Adelaide on 19 Nov 1955. They had two children (5). Despite some variations to the actual day she died, they clearly are referring to the same person. No-one seems to know her precise date of birth, but all agree she was born in Victoria in 1890. I cannot find a Birth Notice in the Victorian press for 1890. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hall_olive_ada.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.mytrees.com/newanc/Australia/Died-1955/Br/Branson-family/Olive-Ada-Branson-bu000183-21.html 4 http://records.ancestry.com/olive_ada_branson_records.ashx?pid=111567045 5 http://users.picknowl.com.au/~stanbatten/default.branson.htm Gerard Michael Hall died aged 48 yrs on 13 Jan 1971; his wife Margaret Dawn Hall died aged 75 yrs on 21 Feb 2003; parents of Janice and Rodney (1). There is no Gerard Hall Marriage Index at GenealogySA but the Gerard Hall Birth Index shows that Gerard Michael Hall was born in the Barossa District in 1922 to parents George Daniel Hall and Lillian Mary Hill (2), whom we discussed at Note 427.

A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Gerard Michael Hall was born as Gerard Micheal[sic] Hall on 14 Nov 1922 in Gawler to parents George Daniel Hall and Lillian Mary Hill (4), and Margaret Dawn Congdon was born on 23 Feb 1927 in Gawler to parents Leonard Hall Congdon and Nellie Louisa Freer (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hall_gerard_michael_&_margaret_dawn.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43481092?searchTerm="Margaret Dawn" Hall&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I523906 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I473341 Ruby Mavis Hall died aged 68 yrs on 23 May 1981, wife of Jack, mother of Kevin, Ron and Joan (1), making her year of birth c1913.

A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Jack Clement Hall was born on 18 Jun 1909 in Queenstown, Adelaide to parents Frederick Hall and Ottilie Louisa Schaad (3), and Ruby Mavis Congdon was born on 9 Jun 1912 in Templers SA to parents Leonard Hall Congdon and Lorina Agnes Marie Hansen (4). I note that Ruby Mavis Congdon and Margaret Dawn Congdon [Note 1172] both had fathers named Leonard Hall Congdon, so possibly they were step-sisters? 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hall_ruby_mavis.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I523474 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I473317 Wally Hall was born on 21 June 1921 and died on 21 Aug 1993, husband of Dorothy, father of Ray, Cheryl and Rhonda (1).

A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Walter Francis Hall was born on 15 Jun 1921 in Hawker SA to parents Alfred Alexander Hall and Catherine Agnes Ryan (3), which is a near, but not exact, match of his birth date on the headstone. There is no other Walter Hall born in SA in 1921.

The ‘all Halsey’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of George Harry Halsey and Beatrice Caroline Ann Collings shows no births to this couple (at least none before the genealogy 1928 cut-off for birth data). The death of George Harry Halsey: “Halsey: On November 8 (suddenly), at his residence, Roseworthy, George Harry, the beloved husband of Beatrice Halsey and loved father of Hazel, Shirley, Daphne, and Pauline, aged 47 years” and “Halsey: On November 8, Harry, beloved son-in-law of Mrs EM Collings and brother-in-law and uncle of Mr and Mrs William Collings and family, Roseworthy” News (Adelaide), Tuesday 9 November 1948 p7 (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no birth details for either George Harry Halsey or Beatrice Caroline Ann Collings.The ‘all Collings’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Mrs EM __ shows 4 children all born in the Norwood District to Leslie George Collings and Eunice Millicent Hill [1] Lillian Eunice Collings b1915; [2] Leslie Jack Collings b1916; [3] Kathleen Yvonne Collings b1917; [4] Thomas Frank Collings b1920 (3). The Eunice Millicent Hill Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that she was married in the Norwood District in 1913 to Leslie George Collings (3), and her Birth Index shows she was born in Adelaide in 1886 to parents Charles Samuel Hill and Elizabeth Paul Humble (3). But we calculate that Beatrice Caroline Ann Collings must have been born c1905, 8 years before her mother Eunice Millicent Collings nee Hill became Mrs Collings. I cannot find the birth details of a Beatrice Caroline Ann Collings, Beatrice Caroline Ann Hill, Beatrice Caroline Ann Smith, in fact on RootsWeb, there are no SA births up to 1928 with first names ‘Beatrice Caroline Ann’ or even just ‘Beatrice Caroline’. Nor can I find the birth details of a possible brother William Collings. I can only assume that these 2 children were born from a previous relationship that Mrs EM Collings {or another EM Collings altogether} had before she married Leslie George Collings, and these children took on the Collings surname. It is all conjecture and circumstantial. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/halsey_beatrice_caroline_ann.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/halsey_george_harry.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/129886954?searchTerm=Collings Halsey&searchLimits= 1177 Louisa May Hameister died aged 65 yrs on 1 Nov 1946; her husband Harry Hameister died aged 79 yrs on 18 June 1954 (1). Was Harry his real name or a familiar one? The Harry Hameister Marriage Index at GenealogySA doesn’t show a result but the ‘H Hameister’ but the ‘H Hameister’ Marriage Index shows that Henry Charles William Hameister was married in the Kapunda District in 1904 to Louisa May Jackson (2). The ‘all Hameister’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Henry Charles William Hameister and Louisa May Jackson shows 6 children, all born in the Kapunda District to Henry Charles William Hameister / Heinrich Gottfried Wilhelm Carl Hameister and Louisa / Louise May Jackson [1] Cyril Sunbeam Hameister b1905; [2] Edward Henry Hameister b1907; [3] Lydia Ernestine Elizabeth Hameister b1910; [4] Harry Bertram Hameister b1913; [5] Leonard Sydney Hameister b1913; [6] Norman Glover Hameister b1915 (2). On their headstone, Leonard Sydney Hameister died aged 61 yrs on 16 Dec 1974; Deborah May Hameister died aged 74 yrs on 11 Nov 1999 (3), presumably a married couple. There is no Leonard Sydney Hameister Marriage Index at GenealogySA. Leonard Sydney Hameister was born one of twins: “Births: Hameister: On the 22nd August, at Eudunda, to Mr and Mrs HC Hameister, twin sons (Harry Bertram, Leonard Sydney)” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Wednesday 27 August 1913 p14 (4). He was engaged in 1944: “O'Toole—Hameister: The engagement is announced of Deborah May O’Toole, third daughter of Mr and Mrs JJ O'Toole, of Gawler South, to Leonard Sydney, twin son of Mr and Mrs HC Hameister, of Sandy Creek” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Saturday 12 August 1944 p10 (5). His twin brother Harry Bertram Hameister was engaged in 1943: “Crossing—Hameister: The engagement is announced of Irene, only daughter of Mr and Mrs W Crossing, Glossop, to Bert, twin son of Mr and Mrs HC Hameister, Sandy Creek” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 15 April 1943 p10 (6). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Henry Charles William Hameister was born as Heinrich Wilhelm Gottfried Carl Hameister on 11 Nov 1875 in Eudunda SA to parents Heinrich Wilhelm Theodor Hameister and Ernestine Schulz (7), Leonard Sydney Hameister was born on 22 Aug 1913 in Eudunda to parents Heinrich Wilhelm Gottfried Carl Hameister and Louise May Jackson, thus confirming the date in the newspaper birth notice (8), Louisa May Jackson was born on 16 Jul 1881 at Government Well, near Leigh Creek SA to parents Robert Jackson and Eliza Simms (9), and Deborah May O’Toole was born on 28 Feb 1925 in Peterborough SA to parents John Joseph O’Toole and Edith Alice Langley (10). On her headstone, Mathilda May Hameister died aged 69 yrs on 7 March 1954, wife of Harry, mother of Mary (1). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Mathilda May Hameister was aged 63 yrs old when she died (12), but it looks more like a 69 on the headstone. Her Death Notice: “Hameister (formerly Mrs McCann): On March 7, at residence of her daughter (Mrs H Dutschke, Gawler East), Matilda May, beloved wife of Harry Hameister, late of 7 Fourth street, Gawler South, aged 69 years” The Advertiser, Monday 8 March 1954 p18 (13). The Town of Gawler website says that Matilda[sic] Mary[sic] Hameister aged 69 years who last resided in Gawler was buried on 8 March 1954 in Willaston Cemetery’s Plot/Grave/Niche 37 E 3, with Father Sparkes officiating (14). So independent references say she was 69 yrs old, not 63. To find Mathilda May Hameister formerly McCann’s maiden name, we turn to the ‘all McCann’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA to find that Matilda May Robinson was married in the Clare District in 1917 to Joseph McCann (2). Back on RootsWeb, we find that Matilda May Robinson was born as Mathilda May Robinson on 27 Jun 1884 in Hamley Bridge SA to parents James Laurence Robinson and Christiana Farrelly (15), also confirming her age at death was 69 yrs. Maureen Joyce Hameister died aged 1 yr on 26 July 1964, daughter of Deb and Len Hameister {noted above} (16). Back on the Town of Gawler website, Maureen Joyce Hameister aged 1 yr who last resided at Willaston was buried on 28 July 1964 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 17 M 3, with Father McLennan officiating (17), but I cannot find her actual date of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hameister_louisa_may_&_harry.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32

There is no Barbara Carthew Marriage Index at GenealogySA but her Birth Index shows that Barbara Millington Carthew was born in the Kapunda District in 1926 to parents James Strathmore Carthew and Eva May Millington (2). Her Wedding Announcement: “Carthew —Hancock: The marriage of Barbara, daughter of Mr JS Carthew, to Basil, son of Mrs HH Hancock, both of Wasleys, will be solemnlsed in the Wasley's Methodist Church on November 27, at 5 pm” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Saturday 20 November 1948 p14 (3). The Basil Hancock Birth Index shows that he was born in the Barossa District in 1926 to parents Harold Howard Hancock and Isabel Frances Henrietta Georgina Bode (2). As they weren’t married until 1948 and had 5 children, it is likely that if they didn’t stay together, any separation would have occurred after the 1954 cut-off for Trove searching. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Barbara Millington Carthew was born on 6 Oct 1926 in Eudunda SA to parents James Strathmore Carthew and Eva May Millington (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hancock_barbara_millington_%28nee_carthew%29.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43792188?searchTerm=hancock%20Carthew&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I464234 1179 Thomas Hanna died aged 76 yrs on 4 July 1881; his 3rd son Samuel John Hanna died aged 44 yrs on 23 June 1892 (1). The Thomas Hanna Death Index at GenealogySA shows that he died in 1881 in the Port Gawler District but no nominated relative was recorded (2). I have been unable to find out any more about Thomas Hanna, who clearly was not born, and probably not married, in SA. There is no information on the LDS website, and not even a death notice could be found using Trove. The Town of Gawler website says that Thomas Hanna from Gawler South was buried on 5 July 1881 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 59 P 2, with Rev JAS Gordon officiating (3), but his age is not given. The Town of Gawler website shows that there was another Thomas Hanna who last lived in Gawler West and was buried on 4 Sept 1882 in Willaston Cemetery Plot/Grave/Niche 38 M 1, with Rev JAS Gordon officiating (4), and his age is not recorded either. Could he be the son of Thomas who died the year before? I couldn’t find a newspaper death notice for this other Thomas Hanna either. We don’t know if the wife of Thomas Hanna (d1881) was ever in SA, just that he had at least 3 children, who seem to have not been born in SA, as on the ‘all Hanna’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows Thomas Hanna is not recorded as a father. Editorial: “More Departures. We are informed that Messrs E and S Hanna, the well known carters of Gawler South, who have been residents of the neighborhood for nearly 30 years, have determined to take up their residence at Broken Hill. Mr S Hanna has already gone, and his brother will follow suit shortly.” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 20 February 1891 p2 (5). Samuel John Hanna dies: “Deaths: Hanna. On the 23rd June, at Broken Hill, of bronchitis, after a short illness, Samuel John, youngest son of the late Thomas Hanna, of Gawler, aged 44” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 24 June 1892 p2 (6). His brief obituary: “Death of an Old Gawlerite: We regret to record the death at Broken Hill of an old Gawlerite in the person of Mr Samuel Hanna. The deceased gentleman, who with his brother conducted a large carting business at Gawler South for several years, was only ill for a few days. His remains have been brought from Broken Hill and will be interred in the Willaston Cemetery this afternoon” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 24 June 1892 p2 (7). If Samuel John Hanna was the 3rd son of Thomas, then possibly the Thomas Hanna who died in 1882 was an older brother, along with Mr E Hanna who also went to Broken Hill. Edward Hanna dies: “Deaths: Hanna. On the 4th June, at Gawler South, Edward Hanna, eldest son of the late Thomas Hanna, and dearly beloved brother of Patience Sanderson, of Gawler South, and Frances Anna Davidson, of Western Australia, aged 70 years” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Saturday 5 June 1909 p10 (8). So not only did Thomas Hanna have 3 sons (Edward, Thomas and Samuel John), he had at least 2 daughters as well. The fact that no brothers are left to note in 1909 confirms that Edward was the last to die. But I cannot put precise dates of birth for either Thomas or Samuel John Hanna. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hanna_thomas_&_samuel_john.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=29954&print=1 4 http://www.gawler.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?c=30019&print=1 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97234008?searchTerm=Thomas%20Hanna&searchLimits=l-title=371 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97237602?searchTerm=Thomas%20Hanna&searchLimits=l-title=371 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97237601?searchTerm=Thomas%20Hanna&searchLimits=l-title=371 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/5728316 1180 Georgeina Elizabeth Hanna died aged 28 yrs on 15 July 1902, wife of John Hanna. Her maiden name is most likely Collier, as she shares her headstone with David Collier born c1823, William Young born c1858 {stepson of David Collier} and Henry George Young born c1868 (1). Her maiden name is confirmed: “Deaths: Hanna. On the 15th of July, at Gawler, Georgina Elizabeth, beloved wife of John Hanna, youngest daughter of Mrs Collier of Adelaide and the late David Collier of Gawler” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 18 July 1902 p2 (2). The John Hanna Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Port Gawler District in 1896 to Georgina Elizabeth Collier (3). The ‘all Hanna’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Hanna and Georgina Elizabeth Collier shows 2 children were born to this couple [1] John Samuel Hanna b1900 in the Norwood District; [2] David Hugh Hanna b1901 in the Port Gawler District (3). The spelling of Georgeina on her headstone seems to have just been a mistake, as everywhere else her name is spelt Georgina. On his headstone, it says that Georgina’s son John Samuel (Jack) Hanna died aged 86 yrs on 31 Oct 1986, with a Freemason’s insignia on the
1181
1182
1183
1184
headstone (4). His wife Linda Sophia Hanna has her own headstone that says that she died aged 47 yrs {in her 48th year} on 14 July 1953 (5). There are no children born up to 1928 to this couple on the ‘all Hanna’ Birth Index (3), which is not surprising as the John Hanna Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that John Samuel Hanna was married in Adelaide in 1927 to Linda Sophia Schumacher (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Georgina Elizabeth Collier was born on 25 Jul 1873 in Gawler to parents David Collier and Hannah Laffen. Further information is also given about the marriage of John Hanna aged 27 yrs {born abt 1869, single, father Samuel Scott Hanna} and Georgina Elizabeth Collier aged 22 yrs {single} at the residence of David Collier in Gawler South on 16 Jan 1896. The children of John Hanna and Georgina Elizabeth Collier were [1] John Samuel Hanna born 21 May 1900 in Norwood; [2] David Hugh Hanna born 7 Dec 1901 in Gawler (6), but the birth details of Linda Sophia Schumacher are not to be found on RootsWeb, despite the ‘all Schumacher’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows the 1904 birth of Lenda Sophia Schumacher to parents Friedrich Wilhelm Christian Schumacher and Ada May Augusta Martin in the Kapunda District (3). On a website showing the ‘Descendants of Johann Jakob Ahrns’ on page 25 of this pdf file it tells us that Frederick William Christian Schumacher was born on 09 Jan 1875 in Waterloo SA. He was christened on 14 Feb 1875 in Carlsruhe SA. He died on 25 May 1920 in Waterloo SA. He was buried in Carlsruhe Cemetery SA. Ada May Auguste Martin daughter of Thomas Martin and Annie Elizabeth Ruediger was born on 19 Sept 1880 in Burra SA. She died on 09 May 1921 in Eudunda SA. She was buried in Carlsruhe Cemetery SA. Frederick William Christian Schumacher and Ada May Auguste Martin were married on 03 Feb 1904 in Evangelist Lutheran St Johannes Church, Carlsruhe SA. They had 3 following, the eldest being Linda Sophia Schumacher who was born on 13 Oct 1904 in Waterloo SA. She married John Samuel Hanna on 07 Jun 1927 in Holy Trinity Church, Adelaide SA, and died on 14 Jul 1953 in Gawler SA (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hanna_georgeina_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97592622?searchTerm=Hanna&searchLimits=l-title=371 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hanna_john_samuel.jpg 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hanna_linda_sophia.jpg 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I97480 7 http://edwardsfamilytree.tripod.com/ahrns.pdf Lillian Mary Hanna died aged 70 yrs on 1 Dec 1972, wife of Walter Collier (1), her year of birth being c1902. Was she married to Walter Collier before she married a Hanna? The answer clearly is that the Walter Collier on the headstone is actually Walter Collier Hanna. The Lillian Hanna Death Index shows that Lillian Mary Hanna died in the Kapunda District in 1972, with nominated relative her husband Walter Collier Hanna (2). The ‘all Hanna’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Walter Robert Hanna was born in the Clare District in 1925 to parents Walter Collier Hanna and Lilian[sic] Mary Kennedy (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Lilian Mary Kennedy was born as Lillian Mary Kennedy on 23 Jun 1902 in Port Wakefield SA to parents William Kennedy and Elizabeth Annie Morton (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hanna_lillian_mary.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I249527 Annie Hannan died at Salisbury aged 40 yrs on 28 May 1901, wife of John Hannan (1). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Annie Hannan died on the 27 May 1901 (2), whilst the headstone clearly says 28 May. It may be significant that Annie Hannan’s inscription is on one side of an obelisk, and a second side has a memorial to an OwenLynch who died aged 47 yrs on 8 June 1880 {if I am reading it correctly at an angle}. Could Annie Hannan’s maiden name be Lynch? The John Hannan Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that John Joseph Hannan was married in the Barossa District in 1894 to Annie Lynch (3). “Death: Hannan: On the 28th May, at Salisbury, Annie, the beloved wife of John Hannan and daughter of Mrs B Lynch of Gawler, aged 40 years” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 7 June 1901 p2 (4), which clearly confirms the headstone’s date of death as 28 May 1901 (1). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Annie Lynch was born as Anne Lynch on 15 Dec 1860 in Mintaro SA to parents Barnard Lynch and Ellen Smith {ie, Mrs B Lynch} (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hannan_annie.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/100576759?searchTerm=annie hannan&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I88161 George Albert Hansen was born on 14 Jan 1893 and died on 13 May 1972 (1), aged 79 yrs. The George Hansen Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that George Albert Hansen was born in the Port Adelaide District in 1893 to parents Harold Hansen and Hannah Hiscox Jeanes (2), and the corresponding George Albert Hansen Marriage Index shows that George Albert Hansen was married in Adelaide in 1916 to Margaret Louisa Buchanan (2). The Margaret Louisa Hansen Death Index at GenealogySA shows that she died in Gawler in 1944, with nominated relative her husband George Hansen (2). It is a little surprising that she doesn’t get a mention on a headstone but there’s nothing on the “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (3). Maybe she was buried with family in a different cemetery. The ‘all Hansen’ Birth Index at GenealogySA reveals that there was just one birth up to 1928 to parents George Albert Hansen and Margaret Louisa Buchanan [1] Valmai[sic] Dawn Hansen was born in the Port Adelaide District in 1925 (2). “Births: Hansen: On the 7th March, at Sirius Nursing Home, Alberton, to Mr and Mrs GA Hansen, of First-avenue, Cheltenham — a daughter (Valma Dawn)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 28 March 1925 p39 (4). Margaret Louisa Hansen dies: “Hansen: On September 20, at a private hospital, Margaret Louise, beloved wife of George Hansen, of Roseworthy, and loved mother of Valma, aged 49 years” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 28 September 1944 p15 (5). Valma Dawn Hansen became Valma Dawn Bohnsack and died aged 73 yrs on 1 May 1998 [see note 689]. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hansen_george_albert.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87515309?searchTerm=margaret hansen valma&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92805110?searchTerm=margaret%20louisa%20hansen&searchLimits= Lydia Charlotte Harder died aged 68 yrs on 9 Dec 1943; her husband Julius Anton Harder died aged 70 yrs on 19 March 1959, parents of Lawrence (1). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery has misread the headstone and put the age and date of Julius Anton Harder on Lydia Charlotte Harder’s entry and vice versa (2). They also say that Lydia Charlotte Harder was 68 yrs old (2), but I think it says 58 yrs. To confirm she died in 1943: “Obituary: Mrs JA Harder: The death occurred at the Memorial Hospital, North
Adelaide, on Thursday last of Mrs Lydia Charlotte Harder, wife of Mr Julius Harder, a well-known identity of the Belvidere and Strathalbyn districts. In addition to her husband she leaves a son, Laurie. Her remains were interred at the Willaston Cemetery on Friday last” Southern Argus (Port Elliot SA), Thursday 16 December 1943 p3 (3). The Julius Harder Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Julius Anton Peter Harder was married in the Barossa District in 1910 to Lydia Charlotte Therese Lucas (4). To confirm their ages at death, a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Julius Anton Harder was born as Julius Peter Anton Harder on 8 Feb 1889 in Mecklenburg SA (now Gomersal) to parents Christian Harder and Augusta Charlotta Peshel (5), and Lydia Charlotte Lucas was born as Lydia Theresa Charlotte Lucas on 15 Aug 1885 at Kangaroo Flat SA to parents Frederick Lucas and Louisa Fredericka Roediger (6). These birth dates confirm that Julius Anton was 70 yrs old when he died in 1959, and Lydia Charlotte Harder was 58 yrs old when she died in 1943. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harder_lydia_charlotte_&_julius_anton.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/96805362?searchTerm=Lydia%20Charlotte%20Harder&searchLimits= 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I47132 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I86839 1185 Charles Wesley Harding died aged 63 yrs on 27 March 1980, husband of Ruby, father of Lorraine, John and Pam (1). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no Charles Wesley Harding birth details on RootsWeb, nor on GenealogySA. In fact apart for an entry on the Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser, which says that one for Charles Wesley Harding appeared on 29 March 1980 (2), I can find little out about him. The natural question is to ask if he is related to William Ernest Harding also buried in Willaston. On their headstones, William Ernest Harding was born in Mt Pleasant on 26 Sept 1905 and died in Gawler on 30 July 1994, husband of Jean, father of Peter and Jennifer (3). Ethel Jean Harding nee Maitland was also born in Mt Pleasant on 19 Sept 1907 and died in Gawler on 27 Feb 1995, wife of Bill, mother of the same children (4). The RootsWeb search shows that William Ernest Harding was born on 26 Sep 1905 in Mount Pleasant SA to parents Charles Harding and Alice Beany Chapman (5), and Ethel Jean Maitland was born on 19 Sep 1907 in Mount Pleasant to parents John Linam Maitland and Hannah Finlayson Randell (6), thus confirming their birthdates as stated on their headstones. To find a link to to Charles Wesley Harding, a general Google search of William’s parents shows an Ancestry.com website on which it says that Alice Beany Chapman was born on 26 Nov 1872 to parents John Reuben Chapman {1835-1924} and Jane Jeffrey {1835-1901}, and she married Charles Harding {1865-1942} with whom she had 9 children. Alice Beany Harding nee Chapman died on 10 Jun 1956. The children were [1] Alice Harding; [2] Amy May Harding; [3] Edna Joyce Harding; [4] Ella Ethel Harding; [5] Elsie Maud Harding; [6] Mary Elizabeth Harding; [7] William Ernest Harding; [8] Dorothy Florence Harding b1894; [9] Leslie Charles Harding b1896 (7). This shows that Charles Wesley Harding was not a brother of William Ernest Harding. William Ernest Harding’s father was Charles Harding who was born at Mt Pleasant on 9 Jan 1865 to William Harding {1820-1899} and Matilda Warfield {1824-1898}, and after having 9 children with Alice Beany Chapman, he died on 21 Jan 1942 (8). William Ernest Harding’s grandfather was William Harding who was born in Wedmore, Somerset, England in 1820 to John Harding and Nancy Ann Coles. William married Matilda Warfield and had 7 children. He passed away on 29 Jan 1899 in Mt Pleasant SA. Their children were [1] Elizabeth Harding {1849-1932}; [2] George Harding {1851-1919}; [3] Mary Ann Harding {1853-1932}; [4] Frank Harding {1856-1930}; [5] Ellen Harding {1859-1907}; [6] William Harding {1861-1917}; [7] Charles Harding {1865-1942} (9). Following through the Harding surnames did not reveal Charles Wesley Harding, which tells me he may have been related through common ancestor further back than 2 generations, but he certainly wasn’t closely related. Unfortunately his birth in c1916-17 means that the LDS website will be of no help, and all Trove searches as well as looking at the National Archives of Australia has not helped learn more about him. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harding_charles_wesley.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harding_william_ernest.jpg 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harding_ethel_jean_%28nee_maitland%29.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I247005 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I578795 7 http://records.ancestry.com.au/alice_beany_chapman_records.ashx?pid=65053711 8 http://records.ancestry.com.au/charles_harding_records.ashx?pid=36028180 9 http://records.ancestry.com.au/william_harding_records.ashx?pid=99401891 1186 George Harker died aged 82 yrs on 24 April 1909, husband of Susan (1), meaning that his year of birth is c1827, pre-Adelaide’s commencement. The George Harker Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that was married in 1885 in Adelaide to Susan Hubble (2). The ‘all Harker’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Goerge Harker and Susan Hubble showed no children, although George Harker and Martha Kitcheman had earlier had 6 children, all born in the Barossa District [1] Martha Harker b1858; [2] George Alfred Harker b1859; [3] Edward Harker b1861; [4] John Albert Harker b1863; [5] Walter Kitcheman Harker b1864; [6] Eviline Harker b1866 (2). The Martha Harker Death Index at GenealogySA shows a Martha Harker died in the Barossa District in 1859 {she was born in 1858}, with nominated relative her father George Harker, and also Martha Harker died in the Barossa District in 1884, with nominated relative her husband George Harker (2), the year before his marriage to Susan Hubble. Obituary: “Passing of Old Residents: The late Mr George Harker, whe died on Saturday last, had lived in Gawler for about 50 years. He was employed at Messrs Duffield & Co's mills for a long period, but for many years had retired from active labor. The late gentleman was one of tbe pioneer cricketers of Gawler and did much in the early days of the game here to promote interest in it. He continued to play until well past middle life and did a good deal in the way of coaching young players. He was 82 years of age at the time of his death. There survive a widow (his second wife), two sons (Messrs E and JA Harker), and one daughter (Mrs D Anderson), all of Gawler” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 30 April 1909 p3 (3). On the ‘Great Southern Pioneers” website, it tells us that George Harker was born abt 1827, Bradford Yorkshire England and died in Gawler SA. He was married in Yorkshire England in 1854 to Martha Kitcheman also born in 1827 in Yorkshire England. Martha Harker nee Kitcheman died in 1884 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harker_george.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97728834?searchTerm=george harker&searchLimits= 4 https://www.google.com.au/?gws_rd=ssl#q=George+Harker+and+Martha+Kitcheman+ 1187 Les Harper died aged 68 yrs on 2 Jan 1957; his wife Bessie Harper died aged 83 yrs on 29 Jan 1975, parents of Dulcie (1). The ‘all Harper’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Les Harper and Bessie __ shows that Dulcie Constance Ita Harper was born in Adelaide in 1914 to parents Leslie George Harper and Bessie Powell (2), and also shows that Leslie George Harper was born in the Morphett Vale
District in 1888 to parents George Harper and Rebecca Edwards (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Leslie George Harper was born on 4 Aug 1888 in Clarendon SA to parents George Harper and Rebecca Edwards (3), and Bessie Powell was born on 27 Feb 1891 in Clarendon to parents William George Powell and Ellen Flatman (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harper_les_&_bessie.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I48643 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I187861 1188 Emily Harris died aged 91 yrs on 20 Aug 1958 (1), making her year of birth c1867. The Emily Harris Death Index at GenealogySA shows that an Emily Harris died in Gawler in 1958 and the nominated relative was her deceased husband Amos Nathan Harris (2). The ‘all Harris’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking off spring of Amos Nathan Harris and Emily __ shows that 6 children were born to Amos Nathan Harris and Emily Allen [1] Stewert Victor Roy Harris b1896 in the Gilbert District; [2] Ivy Eileen Harris b1898 in the Daly District; [3] Ruby May Harris b1899 in the Daly District; [4] Clarence Hubert Harris b1901 in the Daly District; [5] Muriel Evelyn Harris b1904 in the Gilbert District; [6] Thelma Coral Gertrude Harris b1907 in the Daly District (2). Mr Amos Harris dies: “With the sudden death of Mr Amos Nathan Harris, Red Hill lost a highly respected resident. He was in his 74th year. He was born at Tarlee, and was a son of the late Samuel Harris. As a young man he went to Victoria as a Salvation Army officer, and later served in Western Australia, Broken Hill, the interior of South Australia, Moonta, and Gawler. In 1893 he married Miss Emily Alan, of Richmond, Victoria. About 1905 he took up a property at Keilli. In 1917 he was appointed clerk and overseer to the Red Hill Council. He is survived by a widow and five children” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 20 June 1940 p13 (3). As Emily Harris nee Allen {or Alan} was probably born in Victoria, she won’t appear on any SA births registers. However, on a general Google search of Amos Nathan Harris and Emily Allen, we came across a RootsWeb site of “the Bywaters Family History” which shows details of the eldest child of Amos and Emily Harris, which tells us that Stewart Victor Roy Harris was born on 29 Jan 1896 in Rhynie SA to parents Amos Nathan Harris (born 21 Nov 1867 nr Gilberton SA) and Emily Allen (born 2 May 1867 in Hampden Strathalbyn SA). Stewart Victor Roy Harris was married on 11 Mar 1916 in the Methodist Manse at Koolunga SA to Linda Rose Hewett (born on 5 Dec 1893 in Wokurna SA) (4). This only goes to show that you cannot always believe what is written in the newspapers, although it is possible that the Allen family moved to Victoria after an earlier life in SA. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_emily.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92390817?searchTerm=%22Amos%20Nathan%22%20Harris&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=gladysclancy&id=I5160 1189 Norman Arthur Harris died aged 81 yrs on 3 May 1981; his wife Gertrude Carrie Harris died aged 92 yrs on 27 Jan 1997; parents of Gregory, Brian and Una (1). The Norman Harris Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Norman Arthur Harris was married in the Gilbert District in 1928 to Gertrude Carrie Gregory (2). “Weddings: Harris— Gregory: At the Methodist Church, Hamley Bridge, on Tuesday, June 26, Gertrude, third daughter of Mr and Mrs JT Gregory, and Norman, eldest son of Mr and Mrs EG Harris, of Hamley Bridge, were married. The Rev LD Keipert officiated. .... The bridesmaids were Miss Gladys Gregory (sister of the bride), who wore a ....., and Miss Ada Harris (sister of the bridegroom), who wore .... Two little girls, Miss Alice Gregory (sister of the bride) and Miss Marjorie Williams (a niece of the bride) acted as trainbearers ... .

After the ceremony the near relatives motored to the home of the bride's parents for the wedding breakfast. The happy couple afterwards left for a motor trip to Victor Harbour and other places ....” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Tuesday 24 July 1928 p18 (3). Gregory Arthur Harris is born: “Harris (nee Gertie Gregory): On the 14th December 1929, at the Kapunda Hospital, to Mr and Mrs NA Harris, 'Rockridge,' Tarlee— a son (Gregory Arthur)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 16 January 1930 p39 (4). The Gregory Harris noted on the headstone is clearly Gregory Arthur Harris (same birthdate and correct parent names of Gertie Gregory and NA Harris). On their headstone, Gregory Arthur Harris was born 14 Dec 1929 and died on 21 March 2005; husband of Ronda Elizabeth; their son Mark Edwin Harris is also buried here; he was born on 15 Oct 1969 and died on 3 Nov 1969 (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Norman Arthur Harris was born on 11 Dec 1899 in Tothill Creek SA to parents George Edwin Harris and Eliza Ann McDougall (6), and Gertrude Carrie Gregory was born in 1904 at Stockyard Creek SA to parents John Thomas Gregory and Elizabeth Ann Humphrys (7), unfortunately not telling us the precise date of her birth. On a general Google search for Gertrude Gregory and Norman Arthur Harris reveals a Geni website that tells us that Gertrude Carrie Gregory was born at Stockyard Creek SA on 1 March 1904 to parents John Thomas Gregory and Elizabeth Ann Humphrys. Gertrude Carrie Gregory married Norman Arthur Harris {1899-1981} and had 3 children [1] Gregory Arthur Harris; [2] ‘Private’ Harris; [3] ‘Private’ Dix nee Harris. She died on 27 Jan 1997 in Gawler. Gertie’s siblings were Mabel Mary Williams nee Gregory; Ella Marion Fyfe nee Gregory; William Thomas Gregory; Alfred Ernst Gregory; Gladys Ellen Harvey nee Gregory; Mark Clarence Gregory; Elsie Branson nee Gregory and Alice Needs nee Gregory (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_norman_arthur_&_gertrude_carrie.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/73707931?searchTerm=Harris%20Gregory&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90101678?searchTerm=harris%20%22gregory%20arthur%22&searchLimits= 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_mark_edwin_&_gregory_arthur.jpg 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I50035 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I274629 8 http://www.geni.com/people/Gertrude-Carrie-Harris-Gregory/6000000016059268491 1190 Bruce Clifton Harris died aged 78 yrs {in his 79th year} on 15 Nov 1984; his wife Marjorie Harris died aged 88 yrs {in her 89th year} on 7 Dec 1989, parents of Ken, Valerie and Alan (1). The Bruce Harris Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Bruce Clifton Harris was married in the Barossa District in 1935 to Marjorie Olive Farrow (2). “Farrow— Harris: The marriage of Marjorie, daughter of Mr and Mrs JJ Farrow, to Bruce, son of Mr and Mrs SG Harris, will be solemnised In the Gawler Baptist Church on the 27th April, at 11.30 am. Relatives and friends cordially invited to tbe ceremony. No reception” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 25 April 1935 p44 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Bruce Clifton Harris was born on 29 Nov 1905 at Modbury, Adelaide to parents Stephen George Harris and Elizabeth May Clifton (4), and Marjorie Olive Farrow was born as Majorie[sic] Olive Farrow in 1900 in Tarlee SA to parents John James Telfer Farrow and Emily Smithers (5), unfortunately not giving her exact date of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_bruce_clifton_&_marjorie.jpg

There is no David Colyer Harris Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the Enid Jessie born on 26 July 1922 was Enid Jessie Badman who was born on 26 Jul 1922 in Gawler to parents Athol Alexander Badman and Clarice Elinor Finch (2). The World War Two Nominal Roll shows the Service Record of David Colyer Harris, who was born on 3 Jun 1922 in Tanunda SA and was living in Gawler when he enlisted on 7 May 1942 at Wayville in the Australian Army, citing as next of kin John Harris. Private Harris was discharged on 13 Oct 1945 from 42 Aust Tng Bn (3). This tells us that her husband David Colyer Harris existed and was born in SA, also that he probably was still not married in 1945, as his next of kin wasn’t a wife. On a website called ‘Geni’ Enid Jessie Harris nee Badman was born on 26 July 1922 in Gawler to parents Alexander Athol Badman and Clarice Badman nee Finch. She was married to a ‘not disclosed’ Harris, died 23 October 2005 in Gawler, and was cremated (4). This at least establishes the Badman-Harris link, and this confirmed on the website of Ancestry Archive™, which tells us that Enid Jessie Badman (1922-2005) was married to David Harris (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harris_enid_jessie.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I434540 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=681697 4 http://www.geni.com/people/Enid-Harris/6000000023970939725 5 http://www.mytrees.com/ancestry/Australia/Born-1922/Ba/Badman-family/Enid-Badman-mc004590-11.html Hugh Gilmore Harrison died aged 73 yrs on 26 June 1984, husband of Clara, father of Kevin and Marlene (1). There is no Hugh Harrison Birth Index at GenealogySA but the corresponding Marriage Index shows that Hugh Gilmore Harrison was married in the Flinders District in 1936 to Clara Elliott (2). Hugh Harrison came from Ireland: “Elliott— Harrison: The engagement is announced of Clara, daughter of Mrs and the late Mr J Elliott, of Rudall, to Hugh Gilmore, son of Mr and the late Mrs E Harrison, of Belfast, Ireland” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 21 June 1934 p45 (3), which explains his lack of birth details on SA birth records. However, a search on the World War Two Nominal Roll shows that Hugh Gilmore Harrison was born on 16 Oct 1910 in Belfast, Ireland and was residing in Kielpa SA when he enlisted on 4 Jan 1942 in Darke Peak SA in the Australian Army, citing as next of kin his wife Clara Harrison. Private Harrison was discharged on 3 Jun 1943 from 5 Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harrison_hugh_gilmore.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/91062925?searchTerm="Hugh Gilmore" Harrison&searchLimits= 4 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=731434 Edna Blanche Harrison was born on 20 Jan 1913 and died 19 April 1971; her husband Robert Sydney Ireland was born in 1900 and died in 1940 (1). “Deaths: Ireland: On the 28th of December, at Gawler, Sydney Robert (Bob), beloved husband of Edna Blanche Ireland, of 4 Howard street, Gawler, aged 39 years” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Monday 30 December 1940 p4 (2). Edna Blance Harrison presumably was formerly Mrs Ireland, but what was her maiden name? A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there were 2 Edna Blanche births on 20 Jan 1913. Edna Blanche Jarvis was born on 20 Jan 1913 in Hawker SA to parents William Ernest Perry Jarvis and Mary Ellen Fox (3), and Edna Blanche Milton was born on 20 Jan 1913 in Willaston SA to parents Richard Francis Milton and Edith Maria Lawler (4). Still on RootsWeb, Sidney[sic] Robert Ireland was born in 1900 at Wokurna SA to parents James Ireland and Ellen Arbon (5). The Sidney[sic] Ireland Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Sidney Robert Ireland was married in Adelaide in 1934 to Edna Blanche Milton (6). We know Sidney Robert Ireland died aged 39 yrs on 28 Dec 1940 and his actual date of birth was found in Note 548 using LDS data to be 8 Sept 1900, the 6th child of James Ireland and Ellen Arbon (7). So he was not 39 yrs old, he was 40 when he died 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harrison_edna_blanche.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/41912745?searchTerm=robert Ireland&searchLimits= 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I550693 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I596553 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I277817 6 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I30127&tree=SouthAustralia Margaretta Queenie Harrison (nee Urlwin) died aged 78 yrs on 5 June 1986; her husband Lewis Guy (Bill) Harrison died aged 80 yrs on 9 Oct 1987 (1), making their years of birth c1908 and c1907 respectively. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Margaretta Queenie Urlwin was born on 11 Jul 1907 in Gawler to parents Henry Urlwin and Francis[sic] Lydia Cockburn (2), but no sign of Lewis Guy Harrison’s birth details. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harrison_margaretta_queenie_&_lewis_guy.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I683363 Ronald Arthur Harrison died aged 51 yrs on 7 Jan 1964, father of Bryan, Valda, Neil, Leon, Aloma, Dean, Christine and Carolyn (1). This means that Ronald Arthur Harrison was born c1912. The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that he died in 1961 (2), but it looks more like 1964 to me, although admittedly someone seems to have attacked the ‘4’ to make it look more like a ‘1’. The Ronald Harrison Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Ronald Arthur Harrison died in Adelaide in 1964, with nominated relative his wife P Harrison (3),n 1964, not in 1961. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that a Ronald Arthur Harrison was born on 29 Aug 1912 in Cowell SA to parents William Johnston Harrison and Maud May Bradshaw (4), and this would mean that he would have been 51 yrs old when he died in Jan 1964. The Ronald Harrison Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Ronald Arthur Harrison was married in Gawler in 1936 to Pauline Alexander (3). On her headstone, Pauline Harrison was born on 19 Sept 1919 and died 5 April 2003, mother of the same-named children noted on the headstone for Ronald Arthur Harrison, and daughter of Jane Mosey Virgo who was born on 16 April 1889 and died 26 Nov 1966 (5). Was Pauline Harrison born Pauline Alexander? There is no suitable Pauline Alexander birth detail at RootsWeb. Was her maiden name Pauline Virgo? There is no Pauline Virgo birth detail at RootsWeb. In fact although 18 SA births of Pauline __ occurred in 1919, none were born on 19 Sept 1919, so she most likely was not born in SA, assuming that ‘Pauline’ is the correct spelling of her first name. The ‘all Virgo’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking a marriage of Mr __ Virgo to a Ms Jane Mosey __ shows that James Henry Virgo was married in the
Norwood District in 1928 to Jane Mosey Alexander (3). This was 9 years after Pauline Alexander was born, but doesn’t explain why I cannot find birth details of Pauline Alexander. The ‘all Alexander’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking a marriage of Mr __ Alexander to a Ms Jane Mosey __ shows no such marriage, but it does show that Paulina[sic] Alexander was born in Adelaide in 1919, with no father recorded, and mother Jane Mosey Alexander (3). Back on RootsWeb, Paulina Alexander was born on 19 Sep 1919 in Medindie, Adelaide to mother Jane Mosey Alexander (6), and this confirms the date of birth on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harrison_ronald_arthur.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I528837 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harrison_pauline.jpg 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I425640 1196 Jacob Hart died aged 78 yrs on 23 Nov 1886 (1), making his year of birth c1808. The writing on her headstone says that Katurah Hart, wife of Jacob Hart, died aged 76 yrs on 25 Sept 1885 (2), making her birth year c1809. The ‘all Hart’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Jacob Hart and Katurah __ shows just one birth [1] Caroline Hart was born in Adelaide in 1843 to parents Jacob Hart and Keturah Parks (3). According to the LDS website, Jacob Hart was born in 1808 in the UK, and died aged 78 yrs on 23 Nov 1886 in Stepney SA. He arrived in SA from England with his wife and family on 13 Oct 1839 aboard the Dumfries and was a farmer / pastoralist who had lived at Harts Reach, Truro, Sheoak Log and Willaston. Jacob Hart was married on 19 May 1831 in St Peters Surrey England to Keturah Parks (born 1809, died aged 76 yrs on 25 Sept 1885 at Stepney). The children of Jacob Hart and Keturah Parks included [1] Emma Schnaars formerly Surfield nee Hart born abt 1833, died aged abt 56 yrs on 8 May 1889; [2] Joseph Hart born 1837, died aged 57 yrs on 12 Sep 1894 Oulnina Station nr Mannahill SA; [3] Caroline Heinjus nee Hart born 14 Sep 1843 Meadows SA, died 24 Oct 1917; [4-5] At least 2 other Hart children; [6] George Hart (adopted) born 31 May 1849, died 23 March 1924 (4). Still on the LDS website, there is more information about the family of Jacob Hart and Keturah Parks: [1] Emma Hart was married on 12 Jan 1858 at Blakiston SA to Henry Schnaars; [2] Joseph Hart was married on 20 Dec 1877 in Mitcham SA to Christina Frazer Ross; [3] Caroline Hart was married on 27 Oct 1864 in Gawler to Heinrich Johann Heinjus (5). According to further information found on the LDS website, Caroline Hart‘s husband was Heinrich Johann {ie, Henry John} Heinjus (born 1841), and together had 8 children, all born at Sheaoak Log SA [1] Charles George Heinjus born 10 Apr 1869; [2] John Henry Heinjus born 18 Oct 1870; [3] Alfred Charles Heinjus born 3 May 1872; [4] Charles George Heinjus born 10 Apr 1876; [5] Herbert Heinjus born 2 Feb 1878; [6] Clara Agnes Heinjus born 30 Nov 1879 nr Sheoak Log; [7] Ada Emma Heinjus born 15 Aug 1882; [8] Annie Keturah Heinjus born 25 Oct 1885 (6). On a Hart Family headstone, Margaret Hart died aged 29 yrs on 27 March 1870, wife of Joseph Hart; and 3 of their children; Infant daughter Hart was born 17 April 1863 and died 7 May 1863; Infant son Hart was born on 17 June 1864 and died 23 June 1864; and Adelaide Hart was born 5 Feb 1869 abd died 6 April 1870 (7). Using a ‘Family Search’ website belonging to the LDS, under ‘England Births and Christenings’, Keturah Parks was born on 29 July 1809 to 26 parents Thomas and Sarah Parks. She was baptised on 26 Sept 1890 at Ebenezer-Independent, Lenham, Kent, England (8). But I’ve had no such luck tracking down Jacob’s precise date of birth. Even his Obituary doesn’t tell us: “The Late Mr Jacob Hart: In our obituary notice will be observed the demise of the late Mr Jacob Hart, for many years a resident at Willaston. Before he came to take charge of the Sheaoak Log Hotel many years ago, he was a squatter on the River Murray. Owing to success in[sic] he retired from business, and has been residing for some years at Stepney. He was buried in Willaston Cemetery on Thursday morning” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 26 November 1886 p2 (9). We learned above that Joseph Hart was married on 20 Dec 1877 in Mitcham SA to Christina Frazer Ross, but we know his wife was Margaret Hart. The Joseph Hart Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he did indeed marry Christina Frazer Ross in 1877, but earlier he was married in the Barossa District in 1862 to Margaret Shannon or Shannahan (3). Looking at the ‘all Hart’ Birth Index at GenealogySA we find that they have 2 recorded children born in the Barossa District [1] ‘Null Hart’ b1863 to parents Joseph Hart and Margaret Shannon {presumably their infant daughter}; [2] Adelaide Hart b1869 to parents Joseph Hart and Margaret Shanahan (3), and the ‘Infant son’ was not officially recorded. Following Margaret’s death in 1870, Joseph was married to Christina Frazer Ross, with whom he had a further 4 children, all born in Adelaide [1] Arthur James Parks Hart b1881 (mother Christina Ross); [2] Christina Tura Hart b1882 (mother Christina Frazer); [3] Edith Amy Hart b1884 (mother Christina Frazer Ross); [4] Elizabeth Violet Hart b1886 (mother Christina Frazer Ross) (3). In an effort to pin down the maiden name of Margaret Hart, we found a RootsChat.com website discussing the Shanahan family, which tells us that Joseph Hart aged 25yrs married Margaret Shannahan aged 21 yrs on 23 May 1862 at St Peter & Paul Church Gawler, Barossa District. It also says that the groom's father was Joseph Hart and the bride's father was Michael Shannahan (10), so are we dealing with 2 separate Joseph Hart marriages to brides both named Margaret? That’s stretching the boundaries of credulity, but means that I cannot be sure of her date of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hart_jacob.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hart_katurah.jpg 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I136008&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F40217&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I50563&tree=SouthAustralia 7 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hart_margaret_&_adelaide.jpg 8 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NYTL-2B5 9 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97213650?searchTerm=jacob hart&searchLimits= 10 http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=462187.0 1197 John Harvey died at Glenelg aged 75 yrs on 16 March 1903; his wife Jane Harvey died aged 86 yrs on 17 April 1913; John Harvey’s brother Samuel Harvey died at Willaston aged 51 yrs on 25 April 1883 (1), meaning that their years of birth were c1828, c1827 and c1832 respectively. The John Harvey Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in 1850 in Adelaide to Jane Lonely (2), and the Samuel Harvey Marriage Index shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1858 to Fanny Miller (2). The ‘all Harvey’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Harvey and Jane Lonely, and also Samuel Harvey and Fanny Miller shows there were no recorded children born to John Harvey and Jane Harvey nee Lonely, but there were 5 born to Samuel Harvey and Fanny Harvey nee Miller, all in the Barossa District [1] ‘Null’ Harvey b1858; [2] Eizebth[sic] Jane Harvey b1859; [3] Sarah Ann Harvey b1861; [4] William Henry Harvey b1863; [5] Mary Jane Harvey b1869 (2). On a website called the ‘Harvey and George Family History’, the parents of brothers John and Samuel Harvey were John Harvey (born 1800, possible christening 9 Mar 1800 Redruth, Cornwall UK and most likely a son of Humphry and Mary Harvey) and Elizabeth George (born 1803, christened 5 June 1803 also in Redruth, daughter of Richard George and Mary Hardin) who had married on 17 Jan 1824 in Redruth. John Harvey, a Cornish miner, migrated with his family aboard the
Waterloo from London via Falmouth, arriving in Port Adelaide on 9 Nov 1840, when the colony of SA was barely four years old with a population, according to the 1841 census, of only 15,485 people. John and Elizabeth Harvey and five of their children appear in that 1841 SA census, living on Currie Street, Adelaide. At some stage after the census John and Elizabeth, along with their two younger children, Jane and William, disappear from SA records. A Betsy Harvey and her daughter Jane died in May 1841 in Adelaide. Then on 9 Jan 1842, a John Harvey married widow Jane Roberts nee Little in Adelaide, and this may be our John Harvey (Snr), but it is only conjecture at this stage. The children of John Harvey & Elizabeth George were [1] Elizabeth Harvey born 1824, christened 15 Feb 1824 Redruth, Cornwall, was married to George Bailey (1813-1870) in 1843 at Holy Trinity, Adelaide, with whom she had 11 children. She then married William Smith in 1872 at Echunga SA. Elizabeth Smith formerly Bailey nee Harvey died in 1889; [2] Mary Ann Harvey born 1825 and christened 7 Dec 1825 Redruth, possibly was married abt 1844 to David Mott (1823-1908), with whom she had 9 children, and Mary Ann Mott nee Harvey died in 1906; [3] John Harvey born 1828 and christened 23 Mar 1828 Redruth, was married in 1850 in St George's, Gawler to Jane Lonely (1831-1917), and they had no children. John Harvey died in 1903; [4] Samuel Harvey was born in 1832, christened 26 Aug 1832 in Redruth, was married in 1858 in St George's, Gawler to Fanny Miller (1830-1917), the daughter of James Miller, with whom he had 5 children {i} James Harvey (1858-1858); {ii} Elizabeth Jane Harvey (1859-1862); {iii} Sarah Ann Harvey (1861-1890); {iv} William Henry Harvey (1863-1948); {v} Mary Jane Harvey (1869-1961). Samuel Harvey died in 1883; [5] Jane Harvey was christened on 9 Aug 1837 Redruth, Cornwall and most likely died in 1841 in Adelaide; [6] William Harvey was christened in Redruth also on 9 Aug 1837 {?a twin of Jane?}. John Harvey (Snr) and Jane Little had two sons, {i} Humphry Harvey (1843-1848) and {ii} Joseph Harvey born 1846 Enfield, South Australia. Joseph Harvey married Elizabeth Knott in 1871 and they had four children, three of whom were born in the Willaston/Gawler area. They were John Harvey (1872-1898), Elizabeth Jane Harvey born 1874, James Albert Harvey born 1877 and Joseph Newton Harvey born 1879. Brothers, John Harvey (Jnr) and Samuel Harvey, settled in Gawler. John Harvey (Jnr) and his wife, Jane Lonely, were childless and both are buried with Samuel Harvey in Willaston Cemetery (3). On their headstone, William Henry Harvey died aged 85 yrs on 7 Oct 1948; his wife Rosa Harvey died aged 81 yrs on 30 Dec 1947 (4). The William Harvey Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that William Henry Harvey was married in the Barossa District in 1890 to Rose Dew (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that William Henry Harvey was born on 28 Jul 1863 in Bertha SA to parents Samuel Harvey and Fanny Miller (5), and Rosa Dew was born on 3 Jul 1866 in Cockatoo Valley SA to parents George Dew and Jane Hilman (6). On the website “Marriage Certificates Held” relating to the family of George Samuel HARVEY who was born 1894 Willaston SA, there is a number of related marriages [1] John Harvey (Snr) [father Humphry Harvey] was married on 17 Jan 1824 at Redruth, Cornwall, UK to Elizabeth George [father Richard George], with witnesses Edmund George and Edward Lemin; [2] George Dew [father William Dew] was married on 21 Apr 1840 at Dilton Marsh, Wiltshire to Charlotte Watts [father Daniel Watts] with witnesses Jacob Walters and Harriet Watts; [3] George Bailey was married on 19 Feb 1843 at Trinity Church, Adelaide SA to Elizabeth Harvey [father John Harvey] with witnesses John Harvey and Joseph Lindon; [4] George Dew [father William Dew] was married on 29 Apr 1849 at Dilton Marsh, Wiltshire to Jane Hillman [father James Hillman] with witnesses Eli Jones and Jane Bull; [5] John Harvey [father John Harvey] was married on 30 Apr 1850 at St Georges, Gawler to Jane Lonely with witnesses JL Paterson and Richard Nourse; [6] Samuel Harvey [father John Harvey] was married on 27 Jan 1858 at St Georges, Gawler to Fanny Miller [father James Miller] with witness Jane Harvey; [7] Caleb Miller [father James Miller] was married on 24 Sep 1866 at St Georges, Gawler to Anne Gwynne [father Robert Gwynne] with witnesses Fanny Harvey nee Miller and Andrew Gwynne; [8] Job Dew [father George Dew] was married on 22 Mar 1869 in Gawler to Sarah Pitman [father John Pitman] with witnesses William Lock and Rhoda Lock; [9] William Henry Harvey [father Samuel Harvey] was married on 24 May 1890 Primitive Methodist Manse, Gawler to Rose Dew [father George Dew] with witnesses William Hawke and Ruth Dew; [10] William Hawke [father James Hawke] married, on 9 Jul 1890 at Kapunda SA , Ruth Dew [father George Dew] with witnesses W Harvey and R Harvey (7). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harvey_john,_jane_&_samuel.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://members.optusnet.com.au/brenthom/familyhistory/harvey1.html 4 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harvey_rosa_&_william_henry.jpg 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I12412 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I520917 7 http://members.optusnet.com.au/brenthom/familyhistory/marriagecertificates.html 1198 Alexander James Harvey was born on 30 Sept 1905 and died 2 Dec 1993, husband of Rita, father of Don, Graham, Kevin and Ross (1). Reatur (Rita) Elizabeth Harvey was born on 21 Feb 1908 and died 30 May 1997, wife of Alex, and mother of ths same 4 children (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the only SA birth in1908 with the first name ‘Reatur’ was Reatur Elizabeth Osborne who was actually born on 27 Feb 1908 in Kersbrook SA to parents Richard John Osborn[sic] and Elizabeth Ann Crispin (3), according to RootsWeb. The connection is confirmed: “Approaching Marriages: Osborn– Harvey: The marriage of Rita, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs R Osborn, of Kersbrook, to Alex, youngest son of Mr and Mrs E Harvey, late of Kersbrook, will be celebrated on 13th June, in the Kersbrook Church of Christ, at 6 pm” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Thursday 6 June 1929 p12 (4). On the website “The Edmonds Family Forest”, Reatur Elizabeth Osborn was born on 27 February 1908 in Kersbrook SA to parents Richard John Osborne (12 Sep 1868 - 26 Apr 1957) and Elizabeth Ann Crispin (born c1869). On 13 June 1929, Reatur, aged 21, married Alexander James Harvey, in Church of Christ in Kersbrook (5), confirming her birth on the 27th, and not what’s on the headstone 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harvey_alexander_james.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/harvey_reatur_elizabeth.jpg 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I613406 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35736404?searchTerm=osborn harvey&searchLimits= 5 http://daryledmonds.com/index.htm?ssmain=g1/p1537.htm; 1199 Abitha Jane Haslem died aged 89 yrs on 14 Oct 1986, wife of firstly David Hooper, then of Norman Haslem, and mother of Valentine, Olwyn, Hudson and Norman (1). There is no David Hooper Marriage Index, nor is there a Norman Haslem Marriage Index at GenealogySA. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there was no SA birth up to 1928 with the Christian name ‘Abitha’. Abitha Jane Timmins was most likely born in Victoria: “Deaths: Timmins: On February 25, at private hospital, Stawell, Cr Edward Peter Timmins, relict of late Eliza, late Deep Lead, loved father of Abitha (Mrs N Haslem, Mitcham), Alma (Mrs H Boyle, Canterbury), and Edward Peter (Middle Brighton), aged 71 years” The Argus (Melbourne), Saturday 26 February 1944 p13 (2). On the website AncientFaces, Abitha Jane Timmins was born in 1897 in Stawell Vic to parents Edward Peter Timmins and Prydderch Eliza Jane Timmins (3), clearly of Welsh origins. But I can’t get closer than just her year of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haslem_abitha_jane.jpg

Gladys Evelyn was the mother of Audrey, Brian, John, Maureen and Graham (1), and Joseph Robert most likely was their father, but it doesn’t actually say this. The ‘all Hastings’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Gladys Evelyn Hastings shows no births, probably because of the current 1928 cut-off for genealogical data, and the corresponding Marriage Index only shows one marriage of a Gladys Evelyn __ and a groom with surname Hastings, and this was the 1927 marriage in the Port Adelaide District between Arthur George Hastings and Gladys Evelyn Eastwood (2). This isn’t what I was expecting, maybe she married two men named Hastings, or alternatively two men surnamed Hastings married a bride with first names Gladys Evelyn. On an Ancestry.com Message Board > Localities > Oceania > Australia > South Australia > General > Hastings of Queenstown, Port Adelaide, South Australia, it asks for information on the family of Joseph Daniel Hastings, who married Margaret Lily Arthur and had four children, Arthur George Hastings, Jospeh Robert Henry Hastings, Dorothy Lydia Jane Hastings and a Harry Hastings. Also information on Arthur George's wife Gladys Evelyn Eastwood, her was Charles Eastwood. Information was given in reply, Joseph Hastings was born c1846 Eng and was a platelayer who arrived in SA in 1876 aboard the Erato with his wife Jane Hastings nee Sharp (born c1851), and 3 children [1] Joseph Hastings born c1873; [2] Eliza Hastings born c1875; [3] George Hastings born c1876. There were a further 8 children born in SA. Joseph Daniel Hastings and Margaret Lily Arthur had 6 children [1] Dorothy Lydia Jane Hastings born 29 May 1902 New Glanville SA; [2] Joseph Robert Henry Hastings born 12 Dec 1903 New Glanville; [3] Arthur George Hastings born 1 April 1905 in Queenstown; [4] George Charles Hastings twin born 1 Oct 1908 at Queenstown; [5] Frederick Hugh Hastings twin born 1 Oct 1908 at Queenstown; [6] Harry Albert Hastings born 16 June 1910 at Queenstown. Charles Eastwood was born on 20 April 1857 at Currency Creek to parents Simeon Eastwood and Margaretta Fidock. Charles Eastwood, single, aged 28 yrs was married on 19 April 1886 at the Adelaide Registry Office to Emma Halse, a widow aged 28 yrs (her father was Charles Peake). Gladys Evelyn Eastwood was born on 10 Aug 1909 in Adelaide to parents Charles Eastwood and Emma Eastwood formerly Halse nee Peake (3). On another Ancestry.com Message Board > Localities > Oceania > Australia > New South Wales > General > Eileen Hastings, it asks for information on a relative Gladys Evelyn (1909 - 1982) (maiden name unknown) married Arthur Hastings (died 1961). When Arthur died Gladys married Arthur's brother Joseph Robert Hastings (1904-1986) (4), and this clears up the confusion over her husbands. So her children mentioned on their headstone are not with Joseph Robert Hastings, but from her previous marriage to her brother Arthur George Hastings. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hastings_gladys_evelyn_&_joseph_robert.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://boards.ancestry.com/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=3334&p=localities.oceania.australia.sa.general 4 http://boards.ancestry.ca/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=6481&p=localities.oceania.australia.nsw.general Melville Ernest Gawler Hatcher died aged 69 yrs on 28 July 1979; his wife Doreen Ruth Hatcher died aged 88 yrs on 22 Aug 1998, parents of Lance, Shirley and Peter (1). The Melville Hatcher Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Melville Ernest Gawler Hatcher was married in the Talunga District in 1936 to Doreen Ruth Stevens (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no SA birth record for Melville Ernest Gawler Hatcher or for Doreen Ruth Stevens. On the World War Two Nominal Roll, Melville Ernest Gawl[sic] Hatcher was born in Gawler SA on 28 Dec 1909, and was living at Gawler River when he enlisted on 9 Jan 1942 at Gawler in the Australian Army, citing as next of kin Doreen Hatcher. Private Hatcher was discharged on 20 Oct 1945 from 10 Battalion (3). Knowing he was born in Gawler, a further search on RootsWeb shows that Melville Ernest Gawler Hatcher was born as Melvil[sic] Ernest Gawler Hatcher on 28 Dec 1909 in Angle Vale, Adelaide to parents Robert Read Hatcher and Jane Worden (4), and Doreen Ruth Stevens was born as Doreen Ruth Stephens[sic] on 10 Mar 1910 in Angle Vale to parents Julian Charles Stevens and Eva Ruth Barker (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hatcher_melville_ernest_gawler_&_doreen_ruth.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=724602 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I530696 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I666077 Marilyn Joy Hatcher was born in 1952 and died 1983, wife and mother of Richard and Tim (1). My only chance of findinding a birth announcement for Marilyn Joy Hatcher would be of I knew her maiden name. Unfortunately I don’t know this, and it is far too recent in genealogical terms. Searching on Trove for shows that there were 12 “Marilyn Joy’ births in 1952 just in SA, and there’s no available information on how to narrow this down to the correct one. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have appeared in the Advertiser Newspaper has one for Marilyn Joy Hatcher on 24 Aug 1983 (2), meaning that she would have died in August 1983, most likely on or about the 21st. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hatcher_marilyn_joy.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html Jack Bayne Hawkes died aged 70 yrs on 12 May 1981; his wife Zeta Hawkes died aged 70 yrs on 18 Jan 1984, parents of Lorraine, Janice, and Kevin (1). The Jack Hawkes Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Jack Bayne Hawkes was married in the Daly District in 1937 to Zeta Petherick (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no birth record for Jack Bayne Hawkes or for Zeta Petherick. “Kitchen evening at Alford: On Wednesday evening the friends and relatives of Miss Zeta Petherick, of Tickera, met in the Alford hall to spend a social evening with her in view of her approaching marriage with Mr Jack Hawkes, of Tickera. ..... Mr Hawkes responded on behalf of Miss Petherick, and thanked all for their kindness and good wishes. ... ” The Kadina and Wallaroo Times, Wednesday 31 March 1937 p2 (3). This wedding story tells us that Jack Bayne Hawkes had only the one sister – Elsie Hawkes, his father was Mr J Hawkes, and his grandmother was surnamed Bayne, explaining the origin of his middle name: “Wedding: Bruce-Hawkes: A pretty wedding was celebrated on Saturday evening, September 9, in the Tickera Methodist Church, when Miss Elsie Hawkes, only daughter of Mr and Mr J Hawkes, of Tickera, was united in matrimony to Mr Ross Bruce, eldest son of Mr and Mrs AD Bruce, of Alford. .... Mr Jack Hawkes, the bride's brother, was groomsman. ...

The Elsie Hawkes Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that the only birth with father J Hawkes was Elsie Jean Hawkes who was born in the Daly District in 1908 to parents John Hawkes and Victoria Bayne (2), and the corresponding Marriage Index confirms that Elsie Jean Hawkes was married in the Daly District in 1933 to Rosslyn Ewart Bruce (2). The ‘all Hawkes’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Hawkes and Victoria Bayne shows only 3 children, all born in the Daly District [1] George Kenneth Hawkes b1901; [2] Frederick John Hawkes b1903; [3] Elsie Jean Hawkes b1908 (2), but no sign of a Jack / John

Was the birth of the youngest child Jack just not registered, or was he born interstate? On a website called MyTrees, a part of Ancestry Archive™, John Jack Hawkes (1876-1941) was married in 1900 to Victoria Tor Bayne. Their children included [1] George Kenneth Hawkes b1901; [2] Frederick John Hawkes b1903; [3] Elsie Jean Hawkes b1908; [4] Jack Hawkes (6). “Marriages: Hawkes—Bayne: On the 11th June, at the residence of the bride's parents, by the Rev R Jackson, John Hawkes, of Wallaroo, to Victoria, third daughter of Frederick Bayne, of Tickera” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Thursday 21 June 1900 p4 (7). On the Wallaroo Cemetery (Index G – N) are John Hawkes (died 1941 age 65), Victoria Hawkes (died 1958 age 81) (8). Back on RootsWeb, we finda that Zeta Petherick was born as Zita[sic] Petherick on 2 Dec 1913 at Greens Plains SA to parents Alfred Petherick and Florence James (9), but I’ll just have to accept I cannot find birth details for Jack Bayne Hawkes. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hawkes_jack_bayne_&_zeta.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/110498754?searchTerm=petherick hawkes&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/110149959?searchTerm=Jack%20Bayne%20Hawkes&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/110384240?searchTerm=Jack%20Hawkes%20Tickera&searchLimits= 6 http://www.mytrees.com/ancestry/Australia/Married-1900/Ha/Hawkes-family/John-Hawkes-bo001622-1296.html 7 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36960746 8 http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~deadsearch/wallaroo_g_n.htm 9 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I621769 Allan Henry Haydock died aged 77 yrs on 12 July 1973; his wife Mary Haydock died aged 87 yrs on 31 Oct 1980; their daughter Dorothy May Haydock died aged 12 yrs on 6 Nov 1940 (1), making their years of birth c1896, c1893 and c1928 respectively. There is no Allan Haydock Birth index at GenealogySA but the corresponding Marriage Index shows that Allan Henry Haydock was married in the Barossa District in 1922 to Mary Brady (2). The ‘all Haydock’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Allan Henry Haydock and Mary Brady shows firstly shows that Allen[sic] Henry Haydock was born in the Barossa District in 1895 to parents Henry Haydock and Lena Modra, and he had an older sister Ivy May Haydock b1894 (2). Allan Henry Haydock had at least 2 children [possibly more after the current genealogical cut-off of 1928], both born in the Barossa District [1] Lorraine Haydock b1924 (mother recorded as Mary Liddle Brady); [2] Dorothy May Haydock b1928 (mother recorded as Mary Liddle) (2), possibly meaning that she had been married before. And indeed she had been, as shown by the ‘all Liddle’ Marriage Index at GenealogySA which reveals that Mary Liddle was married in Adelaide in 1915 to Arthur Brady (2). The ‘all Brady’ Birth Index still at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Arthur Brady and Mary Liddle shows 2 children, both born in the Gilbert District [1] Rex Eugene Brady b1916; [2] Phyllis Mary Brady b1918 (2). Thus, she was Mary Haydock formerly Brady nee Liddle. “Haydock: On the 6th of November, at her residence, North Gawler, Dorothy May, beloved daughter of Allan and Mary Haydock and loved sister of Rex, Phyllis, Lorraine, and Kathleen, aged 12 years” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Thursday 7 November 1940 p8 (3). This confirms the date of Dorothy May Haydock’s death, but also shows her step-siblings uncovered above. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Allan Henry Haydock was born as Allen[sic] Henry Haydock on 22 Oct 1895 in Gawler to parents Henry Haydock and Lena Modra (4), Dorothy May Haydock was born on 28 May 1928 in Gawler to parents Allan Henry Haydock and Mary Liddle (5), and Mary Liddle was born on 27 May 1893 in Angaston SA to parents James William Liddle and Annie Elizabeth Park (6).

The ‘all Haydon’ Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that there was a Lindsay David Haydon born in the Barossa District in 1919 to parents David LLoyd Haydon and Eva Ellen Osborn (2). “Day—Haydon: The marriage will be celebrated of May, only daughter of Mrs EMR Day and the late Mr EH Day, of Reeve's Plains, to Lindsay, only child of Mrs EE Haydon and late Mr DL Haydon, of Kangaroo Flat, at Gawler West Methodist Church, on Saturday, September 21, at 2 pm” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Saturday 14 September 1946 p20 (3). Lindsay and May Haydon, along with their children, were stalwarts of the Gawler Motorcycle Club (4). But I cannot find Phillip Haydon’s precise date of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haydon_phillip.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/35755821?searchTerm=Haydon%20Lindsay%20May&searchLimits= 4 http://gawlermcc.com.au/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/August-2014-Club-Bulletin.pdf Anthony Morris Haydon died aged 4 yrs on 9 Jan 1959, son of Roger and Nan Haydon (1), making his year of birth c1954, as 1959 had just started when he died. We can find his birth notice using Trove, which only allows searches up to 1954. Unfortunately, it is one of the very few birth notices that does not record the date of birth, however the notice was published in mid-November 1954, so it is safe to say he was born in November 1954: “Births: “Haydon: At Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, to Nan and Roger— a son” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 18 November 1954 p40 (2). Roger Haydon’s birth: “Haydon: On the 17th June, at their residence, Gawler South, to Lucy and Wally Haydon—a son, Roger” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Monday 22 June 1925 p8 (3), making Phillip Haydon the grandson of the William Walter Burnett Haydon and Lucy Alice Ayling we had met in Note 462. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haydon_anthony_morris.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/93985360?searchTerm=Haydon Anthony Morris&searchLimits= 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/46215833?searchTerm=haydon Roger Nan&searchLimits= Sophia Elizabeth Hayes died aged 85 yrs on 29 April 1971, mother of Maud (1), but no mention of her husband. The only Maud Hayes Birth Index at GenealogySA is the 1902 birth in the Clare District of Maud Hayes to parents Edward Hayes and Harriet Eat (2), although it needs to be acknowledged that Maud may be incorrectly spelt on the birth record, or Maud may not be her first name, and Hayes may
not be her surname. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people, which allows more versality in searching, shows no Maud / Maude (as first or subsequent name) Hayes either. Possibly Maud was not born a Hayes after all, or maybe was born elsewhere than SA. Whilst on RootsWeb, there are 6 births in SA within the years 1864 to 1868 of girls whose Christian names include ‘Sophia’ and ‘Elizabeth’, the most likely being Sophia Elizabeth Weaver who was born on 10 Apr 1886 in Willaston SA to parents William Weaver and Clara Alice Schuman (3). When searching ‘Weaver-Hayes’ using Trove for old newspaper mentions, the first to appear was “Deaths: Weaver: On July 27, at his residence, Main street, Willaston, William, the beloved husband of Clara Alice Weaver and loved father of Sophie (Mrs Hayes, Sydney), Clara (Mrs Scott), Myrtle (Mrs Bevan, Willunga), Clifford, Ivy (Mrs Hill), Roy, Ruby (Mrs Robinson), Daisy (Mrs Cassidy, Perth), Harold, Henry, Phyllis (Mrs Window), Jack (Gladstone), Baden and Thelma (deceased), aged 87 years” News (Adelaide), Saturday 28 July 1945 p6 (4). This confirms the Weaver link to Hayes, and tells us that her becoming Mrs Hayes was before July 1945. The Sophia Weaver Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Sophia Elizabeth Weaver was married in the Barossa District in 1911 to Frederick Jacobs (2). The Frederick Jacobs Death Index at GenealogySA shows a Frederick Jacobs dying in Adelaide in 1940 (2). So sometime between 1940 and July 1942, Sophia Elizabeth Jacobs nee Weaver became Mrs Hayes. I cannot find any old newspaper report of such a union, not even in the Sydney NSW papers. The Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have appeared in Adelaide’s newspaper the Advertiser shows one for Sophia Elizabeth Hayes nee Weaver on 30 April 1971 (5), and this finally proves the link. After searching for a Maud Hayes, then a Maud Jacobs, I finally found her on an ‘all Weaver’ Birth Index at GenealogySA, which tells us that Maud Georgina Brown Weaver was born in the Barossa District in 1910 to unnamed father and mother Sophia Elizabeth Weaver (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hayes_sophia_elizabeth.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I377352 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/130233423?searchTerm=Weaver Hayes&searchLimits= 5 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html 1208 Owen John Hayes died aged 60 yrs on 20 Sept 1983, husband of Julie Margaret (1), making his year of birth c1923. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows no birth details for Owen John Hayes. The reason is that he was born in NSW at Broken Hill. Births: “Hayes: On the 17th March, at 'Kuranda' Private Hospital, Broken Hill, to Mr and Mrs Arthur Hayes, of Kinchega Station, Menindie— a son (Owen John)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 31 March 1923 p33 (2). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hayes_owen_john.jpg 2 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87423193?searchTerm="owen john" hayes&searchLimits= 1209 Johanna Hayles died aged 90 yrs on 10 Feb 1920, wife of the late Onesiphorus Hayles; their sons Oliver Alexander (Alick) Hayles died aged 39 yrs on 18 June 1913; Robert Hayles died aged 57 yrs on 27 Jan 1918 (1). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery does not mention that Oliver Alexander Hayles was known by the familiar name Alick (2), although this is clearly on the headstone, and may be an important identifying point for those reading the list. The Onesiphorus Hayles Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Barossa West District in 1855 to Johanna Kettle (3). The Onesiphorus Hayles Death Index at GenealogySA shows an Onesiphorus Hayles who died in Adelaide in 1873, and another Onesiphorus Hayles died in the Port Gawler District in 1909 (3). Using information found on the LDS website, Onesiphorus Hayles (Snr) was born on 25 Jul 1790 in Fowlmere, Cambridgeshire, England, died aged 83 yrs on 12 Oct 1873 in Bay Road SA, and is buried in Brighton Cemetery. His parents were Iphediah Hayles (b1756 Fowlmere) and Ann Butler (born abt 1763 Cambridgeshire). Onesiphorus Hayles (Snr) arrived in SA with his family in 1854 aboard the Star Queen, and was a farm labourer and hotel owner living at Morphettville. Onesiphorus Hayles (Snr) was married in 1814 in Elmdon, Essex, England to Mary Loveday (born abt 1795) and together they had 6 children [1] Onesiphorus William Hayles born 1828, died aged 81 yrs on 1 Sep 1909 in Gawler; [2] Rachael Hayles born 1832; [3] Charlotte Hayles born 1839, died aged 47 yrs on 1 Jul 1886 Glenelg SA; [4] Ruth Rugless nee Hayles born 1841, died aged 75 yrs on 29 Jan 1916 Glenelg; [5] John Hayles born 27 May 1844 Cambridgeshire, England, died aged 82 yrs on 31 May 1926 Glenelg; [6] Ellen Ward nee Hayles born 1851, died aged 86 yrs in 1937 SA. Onesiphorus Hayles (Snr) was married a second time to Mrs Ellen Hayles born 1810, died aged 78 yrs on 19 Apr 1888 in Plympton (4). Still on the LDS website, there is further information about the family of Onesiphorus Hayles and Mary Loveday: [1] Onesiphorus William Hayles was married on 14 Oct 1855 at Gawler Plains to Johanna Kettle; [3] Charlotte Hayles was married 3 times, firstly before 1865 to William Biddle; then on 18 Aug 1872 in Brighton SA to William Griffiths; and finally on 14 May 1878 in Adelaide to Stephen Spencer; [4] Ruth Hayles was married on 14 Nov 1861 in Adelaide to Samuel Thomas Rugless; [5] John Hayles was married on 18 Jun 1865 at Green Tree Hill SA to Elizabeth Julia Morney; [6] Ellen Hayles was married on 21 Mar 1874 in Glenelg SA to Samuel Pearce Ward (5). Also using LDS data, Johanna Kettle was born in Ireland in 1830 and died aged 90 yrs on 10 Feb 1920. She was married on 14 Oct 1855 to Onesiphorus William Hayles, with whom she had 9 children [1] William Hayles born 10 Aug 1856 Adelaide, died aged 73 yrs on 5 Nov 1929 in Adelaide; [2] Charlotte Hayles born 1859; [3] Robert Hayles born 21 Aug 1860 Adelaide, died aged 57 yrs on 27 Jan 1918 at Willaston SA; [4] Thomas James Hayles born 1 Jul 1862 Adelaide, died aged 77 yrs on 5 Mar 1940 in Gawler; [5] Johanna Hayles born 1865 SA, died aged 3 yrs on 12 May 1868 in the Gawler Hills; [6] Catherine Agnes Hayles born 1867 SA; [7] Johanna Hayles born 1870 SA, died aged 20 yrs on 21 Sep 1890 at Largs SA; [8] Oliver Alexander Hayles born 1872 SA, died aged 41 yrs on 18 Jun 1913 in Gawler; [9] Ruth Alice Hayles born 1875 SA, died aged 75 yrs in 1950 SA (6). Further information can be found at the LDS website about the family of Onesiphorus William Hayles and Johanna Kettle: [1] William Hayles was married on 12 Aug 1882 in Gawler to Bridget Cummins; [2] Charlotte Hayles was married on 19 Jun 1884 in Adelaide to Adolphus Geike; [4] Thomas James Hayles was married on 30 Jun 1886 in Athelstone SA to Ellen Elizabeth Poyner; [6] Catherine Agnes Hayles was married on 10 Aug 1892 in North Adelaide to Joseph Henry Rolph; [9] Ruth Alice Hayles was married on 27 Dec 1911 in Gawler to Robert Joseph Lane (7). According to information found on the ‘Gawler Now and Then” website, on a ‘People Page’ about Onesiphorus Hayles, “Joanna was born in Tipperary Ireland in 1829 as Joanna Malony. With her future sister-in-law Julia Mooney, Joanna left Cork Ireland about 1845, most probably because of the severe potato famine which sent many Irish people to Australia. It is possible that the girls were related, as the letter “L” in the name Malony is the only difference in the sound of the names..... When Joanna was 18 she married Mr Kettle and they had a daughter Mary. While on his way to market in Gawler, Mr Kettle was robbed and killed leaving Joanna a widow. Joanna then married Onesiphorus, and sometimes used Kettle as her maiden name, as well as Mulloney and Malony” (16). On their headstones, Ellen Hayles died aged 57 yrs on 10 Jan 1921, wife of Thomas Hayles (8). Thomas Hayles died aged 78 yrs on 5 March 1940 (9). As we found above, Thomas James Hayles married Ellen Elizabeth Poyner. Back on the LDS website, Ellen Elizabeth Poyner was born on 1 Jun 1863 in South Gawler, and died on 10 Jan 1921 in SA. She was married aged 23 yrs on 30 Jun 1886 at the residence of GE Hertoy of Athelstone. The 5 children of Thomas James Hayles and Ellen Elizabeth Poyner were [1] Edith Nellie Hayles born 19 Jul 1887 Athelstone, died aged 79 yrs in 1967 SA; [2] Ruby May Hayles born 20 Sep 1889 Yattalunga SA, died aged 87 yrs in 1977 SA; [3] Thomas Leslie Hayles born 3 Jun 1892 Gawler Hills, died aged 65 yrs in 1958
SA; [4] Hedley Roy Hayles born 26 Feb 1899 Yattalunga, died aged 70 yrs in 1970 SA; [5] Wilfred Stanley Hayles born 9 Feb 1901 Gawler, died aged 65 yrs in 1967 SA (10). On their headstone, Thomas Leslie Hayles died aged 66 yrs on 29 April 1958; his wife Florence Laura Hayles died aged 73 yrs on 19 April 1964 (11). The Thomas Hayles Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Thomas Leslie Hayles was married in the Barossa District in 1918 to Florence Laura Tehan (3). On their headstone, Hedley Roy Hayles died aged 71 yrs on 19 April 1970; his wife Winifred Doris Hayles died aged 86 yrs on 31 Oct 1989, parents of Betty (dec’d), Edna, Phyllis and Robert (dec’d) (12). The Hedley Hayles Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Hedley Roy Hayles was married in the Barossa District in 1926 to Winifred Doris Halliday (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Winifred Doris Halliday was born in 1903 at Gawler Plains SA (now Smithfield) to unrecorded father and mother Isabel Halliday (13), but there’s no Florence Laura Tehan on RootsWeb. Had she been married before? On the Trove website there is a notice that appeared in the Southern Cross newspaper. It is not yet available to view, but from what can be seen, it says: “Marriages: Hayles—Tehan: On the 21st August, at SS Peter and ...., Smithfield, to Florence Laura, eldest daughter of Mr and the late Mr JJ Tehan, of Church Hill, Gawler ... . “Southern Cross (Adelaide) Friday 27 September 1918 p10 (14) [“coming soon” online at Trove]. It at least tells us that Tehan was her maiden name, so her birth isn’t on the SA records, which may mean that she was born outside SA. On the MyTrees.com website, part of “Ancestry Archive™”, we find mention of Thomas Lesley Hayles (1892-1958) who was married to Florence Laura Tehan (1891-1964), who had at least 2 children [1] Mary Hayles b1924; [2] “Living” Hayles (15). On her headstone, Mary Hayles was born on 5 Oct 1924 and died 2 April 2002, daughter of Florence and Leslie Hayles (17). Unfortunately the remaining exact dates of birth elude me. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hayles_oliver_alexander,_robert_&_johanna.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I11339&tree=SouthAustralia 5 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F2725&tree=SouthAustralia 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I11350&tree=SouthAustralia 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//familygroup.php?familyID=F2728&tree=SouthAustralia 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hayles_ellen.jpg 9 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hayles_thomas.jpg 10 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I11365&tree=SouthAustralia 11 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hayles_thomas_leslie_&_florence_laura.jpg 12 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hayles_hedley_roy_&_winifred_doris.jpg 13 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I275142 14 http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?l-state=South+Australia&q=Florence+Laura+Tehan 15 http://www.mytrees.com/newanc/Other/Born-1891/Te/Tehan-family/Florence-Tehan-le001801-22.html 16 http://gawler.nowandthen.net.au/index.php?title=Hayles_Onesiphorus 17 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hayles_mary.jpg 1210 Reta Mabel Haynes died aged 67 yrs on 17 Nov 1983; her husband Lester Haynes died aged 83 yrs on 2 July 1993, parents of Rhonda and Brian (1), making the parents’ years of birth c1916 and c1910 respectively. There is no Lester Haynes Marriage Index at GenealogySA but the corresponding Birth Index shows that he was born in the Frome District in 1909 to an unrecorded father, and mother Agnes Haynes (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the only SA birth between 1915 and 1917 with first names ‘Reta’ and ‘Mabel’ was Reta Mabel Harris who was born on 11 Apr 1916 in Hawker SA to parents Charles Harris and Olive May Thomas (3), and whilst still on RootsWeb, Lester Haynes was born on 18 Jul 1909 in Orroroo SA to mother Agnes Haynes (4). To establish a link between Harris and Haynes without marriage details on GenealogySA and which currently won’t show birth details after 1928, we will need to search old newspapers. The following Birth Notice proves the case nicely: “Haynes (nee Reta M Harris): On February 16, at Orroroo Hospital, to Mr and Mrs Les Haynes, Orroroo—a son (Brian William)” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Friday 20 February 1942 p12 (5). This confirms Reta Mabel Haynes was born a ‘Harris’ and her son Brian was named on the headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haynes_reta_mabel_&_lester.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I528234 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I531857 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48745304?searchTerm=Reta Harris Haynes&searchLimits= 1211 Evelyn Frances Haynes was born on 13 Oct 1927 and died 8 April 2001, wife of Jeffrey Philip Haynes, mother of Maureen, Jeffrey, Jenni, Kathryn and David (1). Evelyn Frances Haynes was 73 yrs old when she died. There is no clue on the headstone as to her maiden name, and the Savill Index of Funeral Notices that have appeared in Adelaide’s Advertiser newspaper, which occasionally gives a maiden name, doesn’t do so in this instance, just saying that the Funeral Notice for Evelyn Frances Haynes was published on 10 April 2001 (2). Presuming she was born in SA, a search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there was no recorded birth in SA in 1927 of an Evelyn Frances __. The Jeffrey Haynes Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that Jeffrey Philip Haynes was born in the Frome District in 1926 to parents Horace Haynes and Ella Agnes Joyce (3). Horace Haynes was born on 9 Sep 1898 at Erskine SA, the ninth child of Lloyd Haynes and Elizabeth Knight discussed in Note 466. This shows that Jeffrey Philip Haynes was the grandson of Lloyd and Elizabeth Haynes. This is all very interesting but it hasn’t helped us find Evelyn Frances’s maiden name. Finally, we have found her maiden name to be Jolly: “Haynes (nee Jolly): On April 7, at Jamestown Hospital, to Evelyn and Jeff-a son (Jeffrey Bryan Haynes)” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Tuesday 13 April 1954 p24 (4). Back on the RootsWeb SA births data, Evelyn Frances Jolly was finally found, born as Eveyln[sic] Frances Jolly on 13 Oct 1927 in Gladstone SA to parents Melville Richard Francis Jolly and Alice Augustine Gale (5), the search for her being complicated by the misspelling of her name when her birth was recorded. The RootsWeb date of birth matches the one on her headstone 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/haynes_evelyn_frances.jpg 2 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/savill/savill-H.html 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48117142?searchTerm=Jeffrey Evelyn Haynes&searchLimits= 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I554231 1212 Gladys Emma [nee Mason] Heaysman (6 Feb 1908-22 Oct 1989); her husband was Wilfred Glen Heaysman (26 June 1908- 8 June 1991) (1). The ‘all Heaysman’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Wilfred Glen Heaysman’s parents firstly shows that Gladys Emma
Mason and Wilfred Glen Heaysman had no children born before the genealogical websites’ current 1928 cut-off. However Wilfred Glen’s parents Arthur Heaysman and Emily Brice had 8 recorded children [1] Margery Rose Heaysman b1900 in the Nairne District; [2] Henry John Heaysman b1902 in the Norwood District; [3] Dorothy Eliza Heaysman b1903 in the Hindmarsh District; [4] Arthur Leslie Heaysman b1904 in Adelaide; [5] Irene Emily Heaysman b1906 in the Hindmarsh District; [6] Wilfred Glen Heaysman b1908 in the Hindmarsh District; [7] Winifred Maud Heaysman b1912 in the Hindmarsh District; [8] Arthur Theodore Heaysman b1913 in the Hindmarsh District (2). The Wilfred Heaysman Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Wilfred Glen Heaysman was married in the Hindmarsh District in 1931 to Gladys Emma Mason (2). Heaysman (nee Gladys Mason): On the 25th June, at Lestern Private Hospital, St Peters, to Mr and Mrs WG Heaysman, of Eden — a daughter (stillborn)” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 7 July 1932 p35 (3). At least they had better luck later: “Heaysman (nee Gladys Mason): On the 16th of September, at Blackwood Private Hospital, to Mr and Mrs WG Heaysman, of Blackwood—a son” Chronicle (Adelaide), Thursday 19 September 1940 p20 (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/hj/heaysman_gladys_emm_%28nee_mason%29_&_wilfred_glen.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90903125?searchTerm=Heaysman%20Mason&searchLimits= 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92401341?searchTerm=Heaysman%20Mason&searchLimits= 1213 Adam Heczko was born on 10 Dec 1922 and died 20 June 2005 (1), and he doesn’t have a headstone, just a painted white wooden cross in good condition. There are no Adam Heczko birth or marriage details on GenealogySA. A look on the National Archives of Australia website tells us that Adam Heczko was born in 1923 (the headstone says 1922) and was a Polish National who arrived in Melbourne per General W C Langfitt on 23 Sept 1949 (2), and another page on the website says that he had applied for Naturalisation in 1955, and his date of birth was again said to be 10 Dec 1923 (3). There are only 2 items about Adam Heczko when searching newspapers, admittedly only up to 1954: “Mammoth Golden Casket № 1590 Drawn: Major Prize Winners. Brisbane, April 9: The Mammoth Golden Casket was drawn to-day Major prize winners were: .... Sixth prize: №63448 "For Little Annie," care A Heczko, 51 Graham street, South Brisbane. ....” Cairns Post (Qld), Tuesday 10 April 1951 93 (4). By 1953, Adam Heczko seemed to have moved from Qld to SA, where he was working with South Australian Rail: “SAR First Aid Awards: Results of the recent First Aid to the Injured examinations for SAR employes and others, held in Adelaide, were announced yesterday. .... Successful candidates in the first course were: ... A Heczko, ....” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Wednesday 16 December 1953 p15 (5), and nothing in the Bunyip at all. On the website of the Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild, that describes passenger lists of individuals and families that migrated to Australia after World War II from various European Countries including Germany, Hungary, Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, etc. Most passengers are World War II refugees or displaced persons organised by the International Refugee Organisation Group’s Resettlement to Australia. It tells us that the USAT General Langfitt with Adam Heczko aboard departed from Naples, Italy on 27 August 1949 and arrived in Melbourne, Australia on 22 September 1949 (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heczko_adam.jpg 2 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=4077073&isAv=N 3 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=8871044&isAv=N 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/42699410?searchTerm=Heczko&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47570117?searchTerm=Heczko&searchLimits= 6 http://immigrantships.net/v5/1900v5/generallangfitt19490922_01.html 1214 Leonard Heidrich (18 June 1916-24 Sept 2005) died aged 89 yrs; Dorathy Heidrich (23 June 1921-16 May 2008) died aged 86 yrs (1), with the implicit assumption that they were a married couple. There is no Leonard Heidrich Marriage Index at GenealogySA, which still may have been after the genealogical websites cut-off. The World War Two Nominal Roll shows that Leonard Percival Heidrich was born on 18 Jun 1916 at Eden Valley SA and was living in Nuriootpa SA when he enlisted there on 16 Sep 1940 in the Australian Army, nominating Dorothy Heidrich as next of kin. Private Heidrich was discharged on 2 Dec 1944 from 6 CAV BDE COY AASC (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Leonard Percival Heidrich was born on 18 Jun 1916 at Eden Valley SA to parents Carl Wilhelm Heidrich and Lousie[sic] Hilda Stieler (3). Still on RootsWeb, the only ‘Dorathy’ born in SA in 1921 was Dorathy Edna Fry who was born on 23 Jun 1921 in Williamstown SA to parents William Charles Fry and Ida Alice Fry (4). I was interested that Dorathy Edna Fry had parents who were both born with the surname ‘Fry’. Still using the RootsWeb data, William Charles Fry was born on 12 Mar 1870 in the Inman Valley SA to parents Jonas Fry {born c1827} and Francis (Fanny) Wilson {born c1832}. When William Charles Fry died (last resided in Williamstown, still married), aged 78 yrs in hospital on 19 Aug 1948 in Gawler, with nominated relative his daughter EF Heidrich (5). Ida Alice Fry was born on 2 Apr 1884 in Terowie SA to parents John Henry Fry and Elizabeth Sarah Eames (6). From data on the LDS website, it seems that Jonas Fry was the father of William Charles Fry. Jonas Fry was born in England in 1827 and died aged 72 yrs on 17 Dec 1899 at Dawesley SA. Jonas Fry had arrived in SA in the 1840s and was a farmer living in Aldinga SA. On 1 Feb 1850 at Willunga SA, Jonas Fry aged 22 yrs married Fanny Wilson aged 18 yrs (born 8 Mar 1832 England, died on 26 Nov 1916 in Birdwood SA). The children of Jonas Fry and Fanny Wilson were [1] Fanny Lugg nee Fry born 8 May 1852 SA; [2] John Henry Fry born 1854 SA, died c1950); [3] Julia Ann Fry born 22 Jun 1856 between Macclesfield and Echunga SA; [4] Walter Jonas Joshua Fry born 3 Jul 1859 Macclesfield SA, died aged 52 yrs on 26 Jul 1911 Port Augusta; [5] Alfred Joel Fry born 4 Oct 1864 Bald Hills SA; [6] Jonas George Fry born 27 Feb 1868 Inman Valley SA, died aged 17 yrs on 1 Nov 1885 Laura SA; [7] William Charles Fry born 12 Mar 1870 Inman Valley (7). Further data on the family of Jonas Fry and Fanny Wilson [1] Fanny Fry was married on 27 Feb 1878 at Wistow SA to Frederick Sugg; [2] John Henry Fry was married on 25 Jun 1881 at Wirrabara SA to Elizabeth Sarah Eames; [3] Julia Ann Fry was married on 1 Jan 1879 at Mount Barker SA to Charles Lewis Taylor; [4] Walter Jonas Joshua Fry was first married on 19 Dec 1884 in Adelaide to Janet Agars; and then in Wirrabara on 24 Oct 1893 he was married to Annie Johanna Christiana Bowman; [5] Alfred Joel Fry was married on 9 Jul 1891 at Mount Barker to Edith Isabell Tonkin; [7] William Charles Fry was married on 27 Jun 1907 at Gumeracha SA to Ida Alice Fry (8). Therefore, Ida Alice Fry married her uncle William Charles Fry, the much younger brother of her father, John Henry Fry. This made her grandfather Jonas Fry become also her father-in-law, and her father become also her brother-in-law! 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heidrich_leonard_&_dorathy.jpg 2 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=709656 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I533245 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I508611 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I717544 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I723227 7 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I149064&tree=SouthAustralia

The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Emil Heinemann died on the 9th July (2), but I’m sure it says the 8th July, a small point maybe but in the interest of accuracy where possible, it must be noted. We can find out by searching the Death Notice using Trove: “Deaths: Heinemann: On the 8th July, at his residence, Bridge-street, Gawler South, Emil, the beloved husband of Cassie A Heinemann, in his 57th year” Chronicle (Adelaide), Saturday 15 July 1916 p31 (3). The Emil Heinemann Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Barossa District in 1897 to Caroline Adelle Hine (4). The ‘all Heinemann’ {and homophones} Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Emil Heinemann and Caroline Adelle Hine shows 3 recorded children [1] Walter Henry Emil Heinemann b1899 in the Barossa District; [2] Flora Caroline Heinemann b1904 in the Barossa District; [3] Henry Emil Heinemann b1908 in the Port Gawler District (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Caroline Adelle Hine was born on 3 Apr 1872 in Uley SA to parents Thomas Delamain Hine {born c1823} and Caroline Rivers {born c1826} (5), but I can find no birth record at RootsWeb for Emil Heinemann. The reason may be that Emil was possibly born in Germany: “Marriage: Heinemann—Hine: On the 29th June, at the Congregational Church, Gawler, by the Rev W Jones, Emil, fourth son of the late Mr Wilhelm Heinemann, of Detmold, Germany, to Carrie A, youngest daughter of Mr T Hine, Willaston, Gawler” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 23 July 1897 p2 (6). But I cannot find the precise date Emil Heinemann was born 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinemann_emil_&_caroline_adelle.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/87313756?searchTerm=heinemann emil&searchLimits= 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I26904 6 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97574228?searchTerm=Heinemann&searchLimits= 1216 Reinier Heinis was born on 17 April 1913 and died on 10 Sept 1980, father of Jan, Adrie, Teunis, Okker, Suze, Sjaak, Ko, Peta, Evert and Edith (1). A search on the website of the National Archives of Australia shows that Reinier Heinis born 17 April 1913; his wife Neeske Heinis nee Dekker born 8 January 1920; their children Jan Heinis born 7 January 1938; Jan Adrianus Heinis born 22 January 1939; Teunis R Heinis born 16 April 1941; Okker I Heinis born 31 May 1942; Suzanna Heinis born 21 September 1944; Izaak J Heinis born 1 October 1946; Jacobus Heinis born 23 January 1949; Peta J J Heinis born 5 April 1951; Evert J F Heinis born 26 January 1954; Edith A Heinis born 11 May 1955; all Dutch Nationals, travelled per ship Johan Van Oldenbarnevelt departing 1956 under the Netherlands Australian Migration Agreement (2). The children’s names are perfectly aligned with those on the headstone, but why isn’t Mrs Neeske Heinis nee Dekker mentioned on the headstone? Still on the National Archives of Australia website, Reinier Heinis arrived Melbourne per Johan Van Oldenbarnevelt on 12 February 1956 (3). But I cannot find out much else of relevance, no doubt mainly for the genealogical privacy limitations. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinis_reiner.jpg 2 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=1451463&isAv=N 3 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=9197695&isAv=N 1217 Henry Charles Heinjus was born on 24 June 1839 and died on 19 Dec 1899; his wife Caroline Heinjus died aged 74 yrs on 23 Oct 1918; their 3rd son John Henry Heinjus died at Maawpoort Sth Africa on 26 April 1900 aged 29 yrs and 6mths (1). There is no Henry Charles Heinjus Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so we look at the ‘all Heinjus’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Henry Charles Heinjus and Caroline __ shows 8 SA-recorded births to Henry / Henry John / Henry Carl / Heinrich Carl / Heinrich Charles Heinjus and Caroline Hart, all in the Barossa District [1] Charles George Heinjus b1869; [2] John Henry Heinjus b1870; [3] Alfred Charles Heinjus b1872; [4] Charles George Heinjus b1876; [5] Herbert Heinjus b1878; [6] Clara Agnes Heinjus b1879; [7] Ada Emma Heinjus b1882; [8] Annie Katurah Heinjus b1885 (2). If John Henry Heinjus was the 3rd born son, there must have been at least one son born before 1870 unrecorded, and maybe a daughter or two. Were these born elsewhere? Or were these births simply not officially recorded? A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there was a Caroline Hart born on 14 Sep 1843 in Meadows SA to parents Jacob Hart and Keturah Parks (3), who could be the one in question, as she had a daughter named after her mother Keturah. Still on RootsWeb, John Henry Heinjus was born on 18 Oct 1870 at Shea-Oak Log SA to parents Henry Heinjus and Caroline Hart (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinjus_henry_charles,_john_henry_&_caroline.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I10712 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I18120 1218 Hermann Heinjus died aged 63 yrs on 12 June 1941; Emma Meta Heinjus died aged 91 yrs on 16 Feb 1980 (1). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Emma Meta Heinjus died in 1990 (2), and although the numbers are a little blurry in the photo, it seems more like 1980 to me. Were Hermann Heinjus and Emma Meta Heinjus a married couple, or just related otherwise? There is no Hermann Heinjus Marriage Index at GenealogySA but the corresponding Birth Index shows that Hermann Frederick William Heinjus was born in the Clare District in 1878 to parents Charles Heinjus and Johanna Wickmann (3). The ‘all Heinjus’ Birth Index seeking offspring of Hermann Heinjus and Emma Meta __ reveals no issue (3), so we are finding it hard to find the maiden name of Emma Meta Heinjus, assuming she was indeed married to Hermann. A search for the Hermann Heinjus newspaper Death Notice reveals: “Heinjus: On June 12, at the Hutchinson Hospital, Gawler, Herman (Harry) Heinjus, of Lyndoch road, Gawler, dearly loved brother of Emma Heinjus, Lucy Kaske, Bertha Ottens, and Hilda Twartz, in his 63rd year” News (Adelaide), Thursday 12 June 1941 p4 (4). It seems that the two belonging to this headstone were not husband and wife, but were brother and sister. The Emma Meta Heinjus Newspaper Death Notices Index at GenealogySA shows that her death notice appeared in the Advertiser in 1980 (3), confirming the date of death on her headstone. The ‘all Heinjus’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Hermann’s parents Charles Heinjus and Johanna Wickmann shows the births of 6 children: [1] Johann Carl Heinjus b1874 to parents Carl Heinjus and Johanna Wichmann in the Angaston District; [2] Hermann Frederick William Heinjus b1878 to parents Charles Heinjus and Johanna Wickmann in the Clare District; [3] Luise Anna Heinjus b1883 to parents Charles Heinjus and Johanne Wichmann in the Clare District; [4] Anna Bertha Louisa Heinjus b1885 to parents Carl Heinjus and Johanna Hickmann in the Clare District; [5] Emma Metha Heinjus b1888 to parents Charles Heinjus and Johanna Wichmann in the Clare District; [6] Hulda Alma Heinjus b1891 to parents Charles Heinjus and Johanna Wichmann in the Clare District (3). On her headstone, Johanna Heinjus {our beloved mother} died aged 73 yrs on 22 Feb 1928 (5), making her birth year c1855. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Emma Metha Heinjus was born on 24 Dec 1888 in Yacka SA to parents Charles Heinjus and Johanna Wichmann (6), Hermann Frederick William Heinjus was born on
12 Sep 1878 SA to parents Charles Heinjus and Johanna Wickmann (7), and Johanna Wickmann was born as Johanna Catrina Friederika Julianen Wichmann on 25 May 1854 nr Rosenthal SA to parents Friedrich Wichmann and Katrina Vosz (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinjus_hermann_&_emma_meta.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/131407953?searchTerm=herman heinjus&searchLimits= 5 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinjus_johanna.jpg 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I18101 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I18110 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I387332 1219 Alan George Heinjus died aged 70 yrs on 29 Feb 1972; his wife Elvira Caroline Heinjus died aged 67 yrs on 12 May 1973 (1), making their respective years of birth c1902 and c1906. There is no Alan Heinjus Marriage Index at GenealogySA but the corresponding Birth Index shows that Alan George Heinjus was born in the Barossa District in 1901 to parents George Charles Heinjus and Mary Blyth Ross (2). “Klau—Heinjus: The marriage of Ellie, younger daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Klau, of Freeling, to Alan, younger son of Mr and Mrs G Heinjus, of Sheoak Log, will be solemnised at the Lutheran Church, Freeling, on Saturday, July 3, at 6.30 pm” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Thursday 1 July 1948 p8 (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Elvira Caroline Klau was born on 17 Oct 1905 in Auburn SA to parents Wilhelm Reinhold Klau and Martha Elizabeth Dorathe Klaebe (4), and Alan George Heinjus was born on 18 Dec 1901 in Shea-Oak Log SA to parents George Charles Heinjus and Mary Blyth Ross (5). The ‘all Heinjus’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Alan’s parents George Charles Heinjus and Mary Blyth Ross shows 3 children [1] Dorothy Elizabeth Adelaide Heinjus b1898 in the Norwood District; [2] Alan George Heinjus b1901 in the Barossa District; [3] Leonard Ross Heinjus b1905 in the Barossa District (2). On their headstone, Leonard Ross Heinjus died aged 86 yrs {in his 87th year} on 1 May 1992; his wife Dora Anna Heinjus died aged 81 {in her 82nd year} on 14 July 1985; parents of Josephine and Peter (6), making the parents’ years of birth c1906 and c1904 respectively. The Leonard Heinjus Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Leonard Ross Heinjus was married in the Barossa District in 1931 to Dora Anna Schluter (2). Back on RootsWeb, Leonard Ross Heinjus was born on 17 Jan 1905 at Shea-Oak Log to parents George Charles Heinjus and Mary Blyth Ross (7), and Dora Anna Schluter was born in 1903 in Freeling SA to parents Adolph Friedrich August Schluter and Annie Wilhelmina Tummel (8). Leonard Ross Heinjus therefore was 87 yrs old when he died {in his 88th year}, not 86 years old {in his 87th year}. On an Ancestry.com website, when searching ‘Adolph Friedrich August Schluter and Annie Wilhelmina Tummel’, we find information about Dora Anna Schluter who was born on born 04 Aug 1903 in Freeling SA to parents Adolph Friedrich August Schluter and Annie Wilhelmina Tummel, and Dora died on 14 Jul 1985 at Willaston SA. She was married on 12 Sep 1931 in Freeling Methodist Church to Leonard Ross Heinjus, son of Charles George (George) Heinjus and Mary Blyth ROSS. Children of Dora Anna Schluter and Leonard Ross Heinjus were Josephine Ann Heinjus and Peter Ross Heinjus (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinjus_alan_george_&_elvira_caroline.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/43772940?searchTerm=Alan%20George%20heinjus&searchLimits= 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I249995 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I254057 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinjus_dora_anna_&_leonard_ross.jpg 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I245075 8 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I264250 9 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/e/i/Lorraine-J-Heinjus/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0586.html 1220 Harold Alfred Heinjus died aged 94 yrs on 27 June 2002; his wife Gladys Lorna Mavis Heinjus died aged 81 yrs on 31 Jan 1992; parents of Colin and Joan (1), making the parents’ respective years of birth c1908 and c1911. The Harold Heinjus Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Harold Alfred Heinjus was married in Gawler in 1935 to Gladys Lorna Mavis Christian (2). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Harold Alfred Heinjus was born on 1 Oct 1907 near Freeling SA to parents Alfred Charles Heinjus and Louisa Amanda Wilhelmina Schmaal (3), and Gladys Lorna Mavis Christian was born on 11 Mar 1910 in Freeling to parents Richard Gustav Christian and Mary Hilda Hedwig Lienert (4). On an Ancestry.com website, when searching ‘Alfred Charles Heinjus and Louisa Amanda Wilhelmina Schmaal’, we find information about Alfred Charles Heinjus who was born on 03 May 1872 in Sheaoak Log to parents Heinrich Johann Heinjus and Caroline Hart [see Note 1217], and Alfred Charles Heinjus died on 14 Feb 1948 in Freeling. Alfred Charles Heinjus married {1} Louise Amanda Wilhelmine Schmaal on 21 Oct 1904 in Freeling [daughter of Johann Carl Christian Schmaal and Maria Elisabeth Henrick Kahl] and together they had 2 children [1] Alvera Gertrude Heinjus born 12 Sep 1905, died 08 Aug 1975 Freeling; [2] Harold Alfred Heinjus born 01 Oct 1907 Freeling, died 27 Jun 2002 Willaston.

On their headstone, Edgar Albert Heinjus died aged 60 yrs on 4 Aug 1970; Daphne Joyce Heinjus died aged 57 yrs on 12 Sept 1976 (6), but there’s no indication on the headstone as to their relationship, although a married couple is the most likely. The Edgar Heinjus Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Edgar Albert Heinjus was married in the Gilbert District in 1937 to Daphne Joyce Curnow (2). There is no Daphne Joyce Curnow amongst the SA birth records on RootsWeb. Back on the Ancestry.com website, when searching ‘Edgar Albert Heinjus and Daphne Joyce Curnow’, we find information about Daphne Joyce Curnow who was born on 19 Jun 1919 at Port Adelaide to parents William George Curnow and Alvina Fisk. Daphne Joyce Curnow married Edgar Albert Heinjus on 30 Oct 1937, and died 12 Sep 1976 in Willaston. Their eldest son was William George Heinjus (7). On his headstone, William George Heinjus (16 May 1938 - 23 June 2008) was the husband of Barbara, and brother of Don (dec’d), Dorothy, Steve (dec’d) and June (8). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinjus_gladys_lorna_mavis_&_harold_alfred.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I533432 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I467865 5 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/e/i/Lorraine-J-Heinjus/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0300.html 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinjus_edgar_albert_&_daphne_joyce.jpg 7 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/e/i/Lorraine-J-Heinjus/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0614.html 8 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinjus_william_george.jpg
1221 John Heinrich died aged 82 yrs on 6 April 1959; his wife Anna Heinrich [nee Koch] died aged 92 yrs on 10 Oct 1974 (1), making their respective years of birth c1877 and c1882. The ‘all Heinrich’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of John Heinrich and Anna Koch reveals 6 children are recorded as being the children of Christian Johannes Heinrich and Pauline Anna Koch [1] Elsa Anna Heinrich b1900 in the Frome District; [2] Siegelinda Beate Heinrich b1903 in the Frome District; [3] Arthur Herbert Johannes Heinrich b1905 in the Frome District; [4] Raymond Hermann Heinrich b1912 in the Frome District; [5] Milton Mervyn Heinrich b1917 in the Burra District; [6] Rex Albert Heinrich 1919 in the Kapunda District (2). On their headstone, Herbert Heinrich died aged 79 yrs on 29 Aug 1985; his wife Agathe Heinrich died aged 45 yrs on 10 Sept 1953; parents of Carolyn and Rosemary (3). There is no Herbert Heinrich Marriage Index at GenealogySA, but the Arthur Herbert Johannes Heinrich Marriage Index shows that Arthur Herbert Johannes Heinrich was married in the Barossa District in 1932 to Agathe Lydia Alma Wiebusch (2). On his headstone, Raymond Hermann Heinrich (15 Jan 1912 – 12 Oct 1986) was the son of Johannes and Anna (4). The Raymond Heinrich Birth Index confirms that Raymond Hermann Heinrich was born in the Frome District in 1912 to parents Christian Johannes Heinrich and Pauline Anna Koch (2), but there is no corresponding Marriage Index, which means that in all likelihood Raymond Heinrich remained unmarried. On their headstone, Rex Albert Heinrich died aged 67 yrs on 12 April 1987; his wife Lulu Victoria Heinrich died aged 91 yrs on 19 Nov 2007 (5), making their years of birth c1920 and c1916 respectively. There is no Rex Heinrich Marriage Index at GenealogySA, and any children would have been born after the current genealogy birth data’s cut-off at 1928. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that there were no SA births in the period 1915 - 1917 with the names Lulu and Victoria as part of the Christian name. This Engagement Notice tells us Lulu’s maiden name: “MacKenzie-Heinrich: The engagement is announced of Lulu, the second daughter of Mr H MacKenzie and the late Mrs MacKenzie, to Rex, the youngest son of Mr and Mrs CJ Heinrich, both of Gawler” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Monday 27 December 1954 p12 (6). Back to the RootsWeb SA births website, John [ie Christian Johannes] Heinrich was born on 7 Apr 1876 in Emu Downs SA to parents Gottfried Heinrich and Mary Pumpa (7), Herbert [ie Arthur Herbert Johannes] Heinrich was born in 1905 in Petersburg SA (now Peterborough) to parents Christian Johannes Heinrich and Pauline Anna Koch (8), Raymond Hermann Heinrich is confirmed as being born on 15 Jan 1912 in Petersburg SA (now Peterborough) to parents Christian Johannes Heinrich and Pauline Anna Koch (9), Rex Albert Heinrich was born on 10 Sep 1919 in Eudunda SA to parents Christian Johannes Heinrich and Pauline Anna Koch (10), Anna [ie Pauline Anna] Koch was born on 3 Oct 1882 in Petersburg SA (now Peterborough) to parents Johann Heinrich Koch and Ernstine Doecke (11), Agathe Lydia Alma Wiebusch was born on 19 Mar 1908 in Hd of Catt SA to parents Claus Andreas Wiebusch and Louise Anna Berha Streich (12), and Lulu Victoria MacKenzie doesn’t appear on the RootsWeb SA birth data. A general internet search of ‘Gottfried Heinrich and Mary Pumpa’ leads to a website devoted to the ‘Lehmann Henschke’ family history, which tells us that Johann Gottfried Heinrich was born on 6 Nov 1841 to parents Johann Christian Heinrich {9 May 1811 - 12 Feb 1904} and Anna Christiane Geister (or Feister) {9 Dec 1812 - 23 Apr 1885} and arrived in SA on 7 Sep 1857 aboard the Peter Godeffroy. Johann Gottfried Heinrich died on 7 Aug 1933 and is buried Emu Downs Cemetery SA. Marie Pumpa was born on 4 Dec 1845 at Tauer, Brandenburg Prussia to parents Christian Pumpa (c1815 - 1870) and Johanne Jurban (c1825 - 1875), and she arrived in SA on 18 Sep 1856 aboard the Heinrich. Marie Pumpa died on 16 Dec 1940 and is also buried Emu Downs.

On a website called “MooseRoots”, it tells us that Claude Effield Heinrich was born in Rainbow Vic in 1920 to parents John Ewald Heinrich and Eichner Alvira Agnes Heinrich (3). Beryl Heinrich’s maiden name: “Engagements: Koster — Heinrich: The engagement is announced of Beryl, younger daughter of Mr and Mrs HA Koster, of Eudunda, to Claude, eldest son of Mr and Mrs JE Heinrich, of Rainbow, Victoria” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Friday 16 November 1951 p20 (4). Their wedding date: “Approaching Marriages: Koster — Heinrich: The marriage of Beryl, daughter of Mr and Mrs HA Koster, Eudunda, to Claude, son of Mr and Mrs JE Heinrich, Rainbow, will be solemnised at Emmaus Lutheran Church, Eudunda, Saturday, February 23, at 4 pm” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Tuesday 19 February 1952 p16 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinrich_claude.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://birth-records.mooseroots.com/d/b/Claude-Heinrich 4 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45775824?searchTerm=Heinrich%20Koster&searchLimits= 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/47394741?searchTerm=Heinrich%20Koster&searchLimits= 1223 Murray Colin Heinrich (27 April 1922 – 31 Aug 2003) was the husband of Jean, father of Stephen, Janet, Marilyn and Wayne (1). On her separate (but similar) plaque, Jean Ivy Heinrich (26 April 1926 – 18 Aug 1993) was the wife of Murray, mother of the same children (but in a different order) Marilyn, Wayne, Stephen and Janet (2). There is no Murray Heinrich Marriage Index at GenealogySA, which may be because it was more recent than the current genealogical data cut-off date. It seems that Murray Colin was previously married: “Mills— Heinrich: The marriage of Patricia Olive, youngest daughter of Mr HJ Mills, of Edwardstown, to Murray Colin, only son of Mr and the late

The Patricia Heinrich Death Index at GenealogySA shows that Patricia Olive Heinrich died in the Angaston District in 1967, with nominated relative her husband Murray Colin Heinrich (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the only Jean Ivy __ who was born on 26 April 1926 was Ivy Jean Kilian, born 26 Apr 1926 in Nuriootpa SA to parents Arthur Daniel Kilian and Ivy Myrtle Tonge (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinrich_murray_colin.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinrich_jean_ivy.jpg 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/36687399?searchTerm=heinrich%20%22Murray%20Colin%22&searchLimits= 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I560640 Michael Joseph Heinrich died “defending his family” aged 38 yrs on 13 May 1995, husband of Debbie, father of Roxanne and Jay (1). Because of the relatively recent dates, I cannot find out anything about this intriguing phrase on his headstone. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinrich_michael_joseph.jpg Helmut Robert Heinrich (6 Sept 1931 – 21 Nov 2007) was the husband of Patricia, father of Robert (1). According to the National Archives of Australia website, Helmut Robert Heinrich who was born on 6 Sept 1931 was a German National who departed aboard the Fairsea in 1953 under Australian German Migration Agreement (2). Helmut Heinrich arrived in Melbourne aboard the Fairsea on 23 Oct 1953 (3). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/heinrich_helmut_robert.jpg 2 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=1471596&isAv=N 3 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=9197710&isAv=N Porter Helmore was born on 20 March 1814 and died 20 Nov 1859 (1), and here I’ve had to rely on what it says on the “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery as it is not easy to decipher the details in the photo. This old headstone was originally in Gawler’s first cemetery now known as Pioneer Park, and was moved to Willaston Cemetery when that land was reclaimed for use as a Community Park. According to the Gawler Old Pioneer Cemetery name index, Porter Helmore died aged 38 yrs in 1852 (3), not in 1859, always assuming that the Pioneer Park record is accurate. On an internet search for Porter Helmore reveals a SA Government Archival pdf file named “special list complete index” leading to several entries in the BRG 178 Special list pp11-12. It contains reference to Certificate of Burial in Gawler Cemetery for Porter Helmore, aged 38 of Gawler in 1852; and also reference to Probate of Porter Helmore, Gentleman of Gawler, deceased 20th November, 1852 (4). There was also mention on Google on a reference from Ancestr.com saying “Name: Porter Helmore. Birth: 29 Apr 1814. Baptism: 24 Jul 1814 - Old Meeting House Independent OR Protestant Dissenkidd, Kidderminster, Worcester, England” although when going to the website [search.ancestry.com/.../sse.dll?...Porter...Helmore...] they wanted me to subscribe, and pay, which I decided was unnecessary as all I wanted was already described (5). Therefore we have learned that Mr Porter Helmore was born on 29 April 1814, and died on 20 Nov 1852. According to the NLA (National Library of Australia), there is published a 34 page book titled “Porter Helmore: pioneer of Encounter Bay” by Maxwell Arthur Slee (2012) (6), which can be read for further information if required. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/helmore_porter.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://headstones.weebly.com/uploads/9/5/2/0/952055/gawler_old_cemetery_name_index.pdf 4 http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/archivaldocs/brg/BRG178_FFTurner_CompleteIndex_speciallist.pdf 5 https://www.google.com.au/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Porter++Helmore 6 http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/5815974 Margaret Joan Helps died aged 22 yrs on 14 Aug 1955 (1), making her yr of birth c1933, which is too recent for the genealogical data to be of use, as is her death in 1955, a year after the current 1954 cut-off for newspaper searches. I cannot find a newspaper birth notice for Margaret Joan Helps, assuming she was unmarried and born in SA. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/helps_margaret_joan.jpg Martha Fletcher Hemingway died 25 Sept 1918, wife of Arthur John Hemingway, daughter of John and Mary Rogers (1). The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Martha Fletcher Hemingway was aged 41 yrs when she died (2), which may be correct but I cannot see that written in the headstone photo. The Arthur Hemingway Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Arthur John Hemingway was married in the Barossa District in 1911 to Martha Fletcher Rogers (3), and then in Adelaide in 1922, Arthur John Hemingway married Marjorie Amalia Veit (3). The ‘all Hemingway’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Arthur John Hemingway and Martha Fletcher Rogers shows no children were born to this couple (3), although Arthur John Hemingway and Marjorie Amalia Veit had at least 2 children (3). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Martha Fletcher Rogers was born on 11 May 1877 in Gawler to parents John Rogers and Mary Inns Butcher (4), confirming she was indeed 41 yrs old when she died. “Deaths: Hemingway: On the 25th September, at North Adelaide Hospital, Martha Fletcher, dearly loved wife of Arthur J Hemingway, of Port Pirie, and second beloved daughter of John and Mary Rogers, of Gawler” Bunyip (Gawler), Friday 27 September 1918 p2 (5). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hemingway_martha_fletcher.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I212304 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/100419898?searchTerm=martha fletcher hemingway&searchLimits= Frederick Alfred Hemmerling died aged 80 yrs on 8 Oct 1980; his wife Annie Catherine Hemmerling died aged 74 yrs on 6 March 1987; parents of ____Y, Gordon, and __dith (1), the children’s names mainly obscured by yet another floral tribute that wasn’t temporarily moved before the photo was taken!. The one recognisable name is Gordon, so we can assume that the other name mentioned on the “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery [Gordon Thomas Hemmerling] is the son of Frederick Alfred Hemmerling and Annie Catherine Hemmerling. On his headstone, Gordon Thomas Hemmerling (22 July 1940 - 8 April 2008) was the husband of Ann, and dad and pa of Paul, Grant, Scott and families (3). There is no Frederick Alfred Hemmerling Marriage Index at GenealogySA, so we must try to find a newspaper notice of some sort to find Annie Catherine Hemmerling’s maiden name. On a website called MyHeritage, Anne Catherine O'Brien (1912-1987) was married to Frederick Alfred Hemmerling circa 1932, at age 19 yrs. Frederick was born on April 9 1900, in Brownlow District, Kapunda SA. Frederick Alfred Hemmerling and Anne Catherine O'Brien had 3 children. Anne died age 74 yrs in 1987 (4). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that Frederick Alfred Hemmerling was born Fredrick[sic] Alfred Hemmerling in 1900 in Brownlow SA to parents John William Hemmerling and Johanne Juliane
Wolf (5), but there is no Anne Catherine O'Brien amongst the SA births data at RootsWeb. On a website devoted to the ‘Lehmann Henschke’ family history, Friedrich Alfred Hemmerling was born on 9 Apr 1900 at Bower SA to parents Johann Wilhelm Hemmerling (24 May 1853 - 25 Oct 1916) and Johanne Juliane Wolf (16 Aug 1860 - 2 Aug 1947). Friedrich Alfred Hemmerling died on 8 Oct 1980 in Willaston SA and is buried there. On 5 Feb 1938 at St Francis Xavier Cathedral, Adelaide Friedrich Alfred Hemmerling was married to Annie Catherine O’Brien (born 13 Jul 1912 in Kapunda SA) (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hemmerling_frederick_alfred_&_annie_catherine.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hemmerling_gordon_thomas.jpg 4 http://www.myheritage.com/names/catherine_hemmerling 5 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I276266 6 http://graememoad.com/Family/WC24/WC24_345.HTM 1230 Robert Frederick Henbest died aged 78 yrs on 22 March 1985; his wife Pearl Victoria Henbest died aged 91 yrs on 19 Jane 1993 (1), making their years of birth c1906 and c1901 respectively, as both died relatively early into a new year. There is no Robert Henbest Marriage Index at GenealogySA, nor are there any births on the ‘all Henbest’ Birth Index to parents Robert Frederick and Pearl Victoria Henbest, so finding her maiden name will be that much harder. A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that the only “Pearl Victoria” recorded as born in SA during 1901-1902 was Pearl Victoria Pratt who was born on 23 Jul 1901 at Reeves Plains SA to parents John Pratt and Annie Greening (2). But there’s no record on RootsWeb of Robert Frederick Henbest (or Frederick Robert) as being born in SA. This is surprising as the World War Two Nominal Roll shows that Frederick Robert Henbest was born on 20 Dec 1906 in Willaston SA and he was still living there when he enlisted on 17 May 1941 in Gawler in the Australian Army, citing as next of kin a Mr Jack Thom. Private Henbest was discharged on 20 Jan 1943 from 32 Employment Company (3). But who is Mr Jack Thom to be his next of kin? The Pearl Pratt Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that Pearl Victoria Pratt was married in the Port Gawler District in 1925 to Robert William Greenwood (4). We need to find a Greenwood – Henbest connection, and here it is: “Engaged: Clythe Roxley, daughter of Mr and Mrs DF Miller, of Rose Park, to Mr John William Greenwood, of Gawler, son of Mrs R Henbest, of Gawler, and the late Mr RW Greenwood” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Tuesday 9 June 1953 p8 (5). This tells us that after Pearl Victoria Greenwood nee Platt was married to Robert William Greenwood, at some later stage she became Mrs R Henbest. We learned (in Note 1152) Robert William Greenwood was born on 27 Feb 1903 in Willaston SA, died aged 47 yrs on 16 Sept 1950, husband of Pearl V Greenwood, and is buried in Willaston Cemetery - see his headstone photo and details in the “G” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery (6). I suspect that after her husband Robert William Greenwood died in 1950, Pearl Victoria Greenwood nee Pratt possibly married {at least had a relationship with}, at some stage between 1941 and 1953, Mr R Henbest, who most likely is Robert F Henbest. This would explain the above engagement notice. On a MyTrees.com website “Browse Ancestry Archive™ by Surname” there is recorded Robert Frederick Henbest (1907-1985) who married Pearl Victoria Pratt (1901-1993) in 1960 (7). Whilst the dates for Robert Frederick Henbest may not be exact, it at least confirms the relationship. On the website named “Geni”, it tells us that Pearl Victoria Pratt was born on 23 July 1901 at Reeves Plains SA, and died on 19 Jan 1993. Her parents were John James Pratt and Annie Susannah Greening, and her siblings were Leslie Roy Pratt; Myrtle May Matters; Freda Ann Pratt; Mavis Evelyn Pratt; Alwin James Pratt; Harold John Pratt and Cora Jean Pratt (8). The lineage of Robert Frederick Henbest remains elusive, as all we know is what’s quoted on his WWII military record. Maybe he was adopted, but a search of all SA births in 1906 and in 1907 with the Christian names containing Robert was to no avail. To understand the reason for Robert Frederick Henbest’s next of kin being Jack Thom, a search on the website of the National Archives of Australia reveals an interesting entry: Albert George Thom (Service № 7079) was born in Lochiel SA and enlisted (for WWI) in Adelaide SA, with Elizabeth Ann Henbest (Mother) given as next of kin (9). On GenealogySA there is no Birth or Marriage Index for Albert Thom but the Death Index shows that Albert George Thom died in the Flinders District in 1951, with no relative noted (4). The ‘all Thom’ Birth Index at GenealogySA reveals 4 births were recorded William Thom and Elizabeth Ann Lord [1] Alexander George Thom b1884 in the Gilbert District; [2] William Thom b1885 in the Gilbert District; [3] Elizabeth Agnes Ann Thom b1886 in Adelaide; [4] John Thom b1888 in the Daly District (4). I think that John Thom most likely was the Jack Thom quoted as next of kin by Robert Frederick Henbest. On the website ‘The AIF Project’ Albert George Thom, Regimental № 7079, a single labourer living in Port Augusta SA enlisted on 26 October 1916, with next of kin his mother, Mrs A E Henbest, of Willaston SA. Private Thom aged 36 yrs on 16 December 1916 embarked from Adelaide aboard HMAT A35 Berrima with 10th Battalion, 23rd Reinforcement. He returned to Australia on 9 August 1919 (10). This means that Albert George Thom was born c1880, which was not recorded under that name at least. The ‘all Thom’ Marriage Index shows that Elizabeth Ann Thom {nee Lord} was married in the District in 1891 to Walter Henbest (4). The only names recorded on the ‘all Henbest’ Birth Index I think all have the same mother at least. [1] Walter Henbest b1893 to parents Walter Henbest and Annie Elizabeth Lord in Adelaide; [2] Mary Jane Henbest b1896 to parents Walter Henbest and Annie Lord in the Barossa District; [3] Harry Henbest b1898 to parents Walter Henbest and Elizabeth Ann Lord in the Barossa District; [4] Roy Henbest b1909 to parents [no nominated father] and Elizabeth Henbest in Adelaide; [5] Leslie George Henbest b1918 to parents [no nominated father] and Elizabeth Ann Henbest in Adelaide (4). I’m not sure where Robert Frederick Henbest fitted in amongst these births, although there seems quite a gap between 1898 and 1909, maybe he was in here, and he may still have been not even born a Henbest, but adopted by the Henbest family. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/henbest_robert_frederick_&_pearl_victoria.jpg 2 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I234084 3 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=A&VeteranId=702897 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48275796?searchTerm=Greenwood%20Henbest&searchLimits= 6 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastong_data.htm 7 http://www.mytrees.com/ancestry/Other/Born-1907/He/Henbest-family/Robert-Henbest-ha006050-394.html 8 http://www.geni.com/people/Pearl-Pratt/6000000018679341867 9 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=8390296&isAv=N 10 https://www.aif.adfa.edu.au/showPerson?pid=297626 1231 Thomas Hender died aged 51 yrs at Footscray Vic on 22 Oct 1891; his wife Ruth Hender died aged 85 yrs on 24 July 1925 (1), making their years of birth both c1840. The “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery says that Thomas Hender died in 1881 (2), but I think that decade number “8” has been changed from a “9” when you compare the two “8’s”. As he died in Victoria, his death may not appear on SA genealogical sites, so we need to seek a newspaper notice. This item shows he died in 1891: “Death of Mr Thomas Hender (By Telegraph] Quorn, October 23. A telegraphic message has just been received from Footscray, Victoria, announcing the death
of Mr Thomas Hender, a highly respected local sheepfarmer, who left Quorn last Friday week with his wife and eldest daughter for two months holiday. Immediately after he arrived in Melbourne he was seized with influenza, which developed into inflammation of the lungs. The deceased was a son of Mr Edward Hender, of Mount Barker Springs, and he leaves eight children” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Saturday 24 October 1891 p5 (3). The Thomas Hender Marriage Index at GenealogySA shows that he was married in the Mount Barker District in 1863 to Ruth Natt (2). The ‘all Hender’ Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of Thomas Hender and Ruth Natt shows the birth of 8 children were recorded to this couple [1] Ann Hender b1864 {mother Ruth Nott} in the Mount Barker District; [2] Maria Hender b1865 in the Mount Barker District; [3] John Hender b1868 in the Wellington District; [4] Bessy Hender b1870 in the Wellington District; [5] Thomas Hender b1872 {mother Rose Natt} in the Wellington District; [6] Ruth Hender b1874 in the Strathalbyn District; [7] Edward Hender b1878 in the Mount Barker District; [8] Florence May Hender b1880 in the Frome District (4). Mr Hender’s Obituary: “A great deal of sympathy is felt by those who are acquainted with them for Mrs Thomas Hender and family, of Stephenston, in their sad bereavement by the death of husband and father. Mr Hender and wife and eldest daughter went to Melbourne about four weeks ago on a pleasure trip. Mr Hender was taken ill with the influenza a few days after arrival in Melbourne, and succumbed to the malady, and was buried there. Mr Hender was one of the first settlers in the Hundred of Palmer, having taken up a section of land when he and family arrived here early in the year 1878, and have lived there ever since. Mr Hender was very highly respected in and surrounding districts of Stephenston. He held the office of superintendent of the Bible Christian Sunday-school, was president of the band of hope at Stephenston, and was also councillor for Moochra Ward in Kanaka District Council twelve months ago” Kapunda Herald, Friday 13 November 1891 p3 (5). According to information on the LDS website, Thomas Hender was born on 27 May 1840 Sleeps Tiers SA to parents Edward Hender (born 4 Dec 1806 Altarnum, Cornwall, England, died aged 96 yrs on 29 Aug 1903 Mount Barker Springs SA) and Ann Elliott (born 3 Sep 1814 England, died aged 85 yrs on 6 Jul 1900 Mount Barker Springs), who had married in Altarnum, Cornwall in 1837. Thomas Hender was a builder, and a farmer who had resided at Wistow, Cooke Plains, and Mt Barker Springs; he died on 22 Oct 1891 in Footscray Vic, and the LDS website says he was buried in Willaston, not in Melbourne as it said in his obituary. Thomas Hender aged 23 yrs had married, on 29 Oct 1863 in Mount Barker, Ruth Youens nee Natt also aged 23 yrs (born 5 Jan 1840 England to parents Frederick Natt and Ruth Brooker, and she died on 24 July 1925 in Gawler SA). Thomas Hender and Ruth Youens nee Natt were [1] Ann Hender born 14 Aug 1864 nr Mount Barker; [2] Maria Hender born 22 Dec 1865 Mount Barker; [3] John Hender born 15 Sep 1868 East Wellington SA; [4] Bessy Hender born 24 Jun 1870 Cookes Plains SA; [5] Thomas Hender born 15 Sep 1872 Cookes Plains, died 1921; [6] Ruth Hender born 12 May 1874 Strathalbyn SA; [7] Edward Hender born 11 Jul 1878 Mount Barker Springs; [8] Florence May Hender born 14 Sep 1880 Palmer SA (6). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hender_thomas_&_ruth.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/24805210?searchTerm=Thomas%20Hender&searchLimits= 4 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/108359144?searchTerm=thomas hender&searchLimits= 6 https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I134171&tree=SouthAustralia 1232 David Thomas {Curly} Hendry (14 Jan 1916 – 25 Aug 1990) was the husband of Lovina[sic] Jane; Lavina Jane {Jean} Hendry (4 Jan 1923 – 14 July 2003) was the wife of David Thomas; parents of Jennifer, David, Robert, Brian and Kenneth (1). Apart from the misspelling of Lavina as ‘Lovina’ on the headstone, the “H” data page of Australia Cemeteries for Willaston Cemetery spells it ‘Lavinia’ (2), which may be correct, but not what the inscription actually says. The David Thomas Hendry Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that David Thomas Hendry was born in the Mount Barker District in 1916 to parents David Hendry and Mabel Bertie (3). The ‘all Hendry Birth Index at GenealogySA seeking offspring of David Hendry and Mabel Bertie shows the birth of 3 children [1] Elizabeth Mabel Hendry b1908 in the Mount Barker District; [2] David Thomas Hendry b1916 in the Mount Barker District; [3] Kathleen Florence Hendry b1919 in the Nairne District (3). On the World War Two Nominal Roll, the Service Record of David Thomas Hendry confirms that he was born on 14 Jan 1916 in Aldgate SA and was living at Adelaide River NT when he enlisted on 1 Jul 1942 at Stirling West SA in the Australian Army, with next of kin his father David Hendry. Private Hendry was discharged on 9 Oct 1947 from 135 Brigade Ordnance Field Park AAOC (4). David Thomas and Lovina Jane marry: Mudge— Hendry: The marriage of Lovina, twin daughter of Mr AJ Mudge and the late Mrs Mudge, of Magill, to David, only son of the late Mr and Mrs Hendry, will be solemnised at the Methodist Church, Aldgate, on April 8, at 2.30 pm” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Tuesday 4 April 1950 p18 (5). A search of the SA Births data on the website RootsWeb WorldConnect for South Australian people shows that David Thomas Hendry was born on 14 Jan 1916 in Aldgate SA to parents David Hendry and Mabel Bertie (6), and Lovina Jane Mudge was born on 4 Jan 1923 in Mylor SA to parents Angas John Stanbury Mudge and Olive Hilda Westbrook (7). The birth of their oldest child {as per headstone} “Hendry: On February 22, at Mt Barker Soldiers' Memorial Hospital, to Jean and David — a daughter (Jennifer Dawn)” The Advertiser (Adelaide), Friday 2 March 1951 p20 (8). This all shows that her correct name was Lovina, not Lavina or Lavinia. On the website OneGreat Family it tells us that Lovina Jane Mudge was born on 4 Jan 1923 at Mylor SA and died on 14 July 2003 in Gawler SA. Her parents were Angas John Stanbury Mudge and Olive Hilda Westbrook who had 11 children were [1] Eugene Melvil Westbrook Mudge; [2] Aubrey Mudge; [3] Mellis Lancelot Mudge; [4] Leland Kitchener Mudge; [5] Redford Baden Mudge; [6] Reyfus Ian Mudge; [7] Thurza Mudge; [8] Lovina Jane Mudge; [9] Olive Mudge; [10] Sylvia June Mudge; [11] Clarence Mudge. Lovina Jane Mudge married David Thomas Hendry and they had five children (9). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hendry_david_thomas_&_lavinia_jane.jpg 2 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonh_data.htm 3 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 4 http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=688337 5 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/50194215?searchTerm=Jean David Hendry Barker&searchLimits= 6 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I534434 7 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sabmd&id=I601666 8 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45709804?searchTerm=Hendry%20%22David%20Thomas%22&searchLimits= 9 https://www.onegreatfamily.com/fh/Lovina-Mudge/572370199 1233 John Dene Hendy died aged 67 yrs on 19 Aug 1989, husband of Rhoda Isobella, father of Alan, Phillip and Sheila (1), thus his year of birth was c1922. There is no John Dene Hendy Birth Index at GenealogySA nor does that name appear on the SA births data at RootsWeb, so one must presume he was not born in SA. The only Rhoda Isabella __ birth in SA up to 1928 was in 1893, and there are no births at all where the first names included ‘Rhoda’ and ‘Isobella’. A search of old newspaper notices for the birth and marriage of John Dene Hendy likewise was unhelpful. Finally, the website of the National Archives of Australia shows the reason: John Hendy (born 22 June 1922);
Rhoda Hendy nee Huntes (born 20 September 1921); and Alan Hendy (born 4 March 1948) travelled per Cameronia departing Glasgow on 8 August 1951 under the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme (2). Their names and that of the first child named on their headstone (Alan) all match this information. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hendy_john_dene.jpg 2 http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=7304704&isAv=N 1234 1235 1236 1237 1238 1239 1240

Are they a married couple, otherwise related to share a headstone? The Henry Hennessy Birth Index at GenealogySA reveals that Henry Michael Hennessy was born in the Gilbert District in 1885 to parents James Hennessy and Bridget Whelan (2), but there is no Henry Michael Hennessy Marriage Index, although the corresponding Death Index confirms he died in Gawler in 1964 (2). There are no Katherine Hennessy entries at GenealogySA but the Catherine Hennessy Birth Index at GenealogySA shows that a Catherine Hennessy was born in the Gilbert District in 1875 to the same parents James Hennessy and Bridget Whelan as for Henry Michael Hennessy (2). There is no appropriate Catherine Hennessy Marriage Index at GenealogySA and the corresponding Death Index confirms that Catherine Hennessy died in the Norwood District in 1962 (2). So we can assume that the Katherine Hennessy is really Catherine Hennessy, sister of Henry Michael Hennessy, sharing the headstone. On the LDS site, Henry Michael Hennessy was born 16 Oct 1885 Dalkey SA to parents James Hennessy (born c1833 Kik, Ireland) and Bridget Whelan [or Phelan] (3). James Hennessy and Bridget Whelan were married 21 May 1865 in Gawler. Their children were [1] Margaret Hennessy born 17 Feb 1866 Grace Plains SA; [2] Johanna Hennessy born 19 Aug 1868 Grace Plains; [3] James Hennessy born 11 Jan 1872 Grace Plains; [4] Catherine Hennessy born 14 Jul 1875 Grace Plains; [5] Mary Hennessy born 2 Feb 1878 Dalkey SA; [6] Alice Hennessy born 22 Jun 1879 Dalkey, married 9 Apr 1912 in Owen SA to James McBain Laing; [7] Hellen Elizabeth Hennessy born 20 Jul 1881 Barabba SA, married 6 Oct 1915 in Owen to Robert Norman Ingram; [8] Patrick John Hennessy born 13 Mar 1883 Dalkey; [9] Henry Michael Hennessy born 16 Oct 1885 Dalkey (4). With parents, sibling James and Henry Michael all buried in Willaston, I strongly suspect but cannot prove without seeing the Burial Register that it is another sibling Catherine who is Katherine Hennessy. If so, then she would have been 84 years old when she died in 1962. But I need confirmation of her age at death before I’m confident to enter that date of birth. 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hennessy_katherine_&_henry_michael.jpg 2 http://www.genealogysa.org.au/index.php?option=com_search&Itemid=32 3 http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I277437&tree=SouthAustralia 4 http://histfam.familysearch.org/familygroup.php?familyID=F39473&tree=SouthAustralia James Hennessy Bridget Hennessy 5
Note 480 Alice Eloise Hennessy was the stillborn daughter of Helen and Shane Hennessy who was delivered 1st Feb 1992, sister to Caitlin (1). Being so recent, in genealogical terms, further investigation would usually be of no avail. However, a general internet search for Helen and Shane Hennessy revealed the following Facebook entry from Shane Hennessy for Gawler Council 2014, posted on 7 October 2014: “One of the first things Helen and I did when we came to Gawler was to join the Gawler Show Society. The Show is nominated for a 2014 South Australian Regional Awards which will be decided tonight. We wish them the best of luck.” (2). One of the Local Government Candidates for the 2014 Town of Gawler Council elections was Shane Peter Hennessy, and his statement can be read at this website (3). On the Significant Women of Gawler Project website, Helen Elizabeth Hennessy nee Brooking is featured by Judy Ferguson. Helen was born in Bangor, North Wales in 1958 and the family moved to Australia in 1964. Helen studied Librarianship at Adelaide’s Institute of Technology, where she met fellow student Shane Hennessy who was studying Metallurgy. They married in 1980 and spent some 5 years in WA and the NT, before moving to Willaston in 1985. Their first daughter Caitlin Anne was born in 1990, but sadly the next baby, Alice Eloise, was stillborn at 33 weeks on 1 Feb 1992. Helen and Shane’s 3rd child Meredith Lee was born in 1993. A comprehensive biography can be read on the website (4). 1 http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/gawler/willastonhs_images/h-j/hennessy_alice_eloise.jpg 2 https://www.facebook.com/shanehennessyforgawlercouncil/posts/811179102238950 3 http://www.lga.sa.gov.au/lgcandidates/councils?c=53079 4 http://gawlerwomen.50webs.com/html/helenhennessy.html
