I was trying to answer to personal request to tristi as quickly as possible before having lunch.  As I said, I have immense 'awe' for lack of a better word for all the work done by all the volunteer people, and respect you highly, with litterally the highest regard, with absolutely no wish to even think anything derogatary.  I was trying to make a joke !  Tristi, being from Vic, would get the reference to the "King", Graeme (?) Kennedy.  and Melbourne tonite, that he used to compere (again if the spelling is correct).  One who never said anything wrong, (or was thought to say something wrong), never said anything.  There was absolutely no intention to upset anyone.  Quite the contrary, I would wish to heap praise on you.  (But Vics and croweaters have a special relationship.)   Probably like bananabenders and Newsouthwelshpeople.   IT people have known for a long time that it is so easy for a written communication to be misconstrued, because of lack of visual body language etc, which is why these sort of things  Smiley  were invented - by IT people.   No paragraphs again.   But it will soon be tea time !

I really really do have immense respect for you, and what you do and achieve ! !

Oliver RIDGWAY  232 Bay Street Brighton, carpenter
1931
Oliver Ridgway 73 Alma Road, St Kilda, carpenter.
no  other Ridgways at  the same address,  one cannot search  for  just  the address  only  by  name ,so  don't know  if anyone else resided at  the same address

Thank you so much Jenn!!!

The addresses on the Electoral roles confirm that I am indeed searching for the correct Oliver, which is so wonderful! 

Your reply tells me so much and confirms a lot of old family myths.  I also appreciate a reference to which database you searched and the cut off dates - as I did Jeenie's reply - I am keeping track of searched databases so nobody wastes any more time going over and over (I value volunteer's time too much).  I will place a list of the databases I intend searching (either at the closest family history centre or through the wonderful people on rc) on my blog tonight (along with an acknowledgement of your contribution)  http://missingevelyn.wordpress.com 

Cheers, Tristi

This is for you, Tristi.     Hope it is of interest to at least some others, as well.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=298645.new#new


Addendum

The best advice you could possibly get is to take advice from seasoned, knowledgeable, and caring experts such as JenB, tropicalj, trish251, dee,

(but not exhaustive.   You couldn't do better.

What worked for us is not necessarily the best for anyone else !

And, were going to suggest you contact Cando - refer the last cross reference for reasons which will be apparent if  you do;  also note the previous (green) sentence.

After a weekend searching the Bairnsdale Family History Group resources, I was able to eliminate VIC, NSW & SA as locations for Oliver Ridgway's death.  (And possibly England)

I will look at microfiche records to eliminate WA & QLD when i get the time. 

Unfortunately, I will be unable to eliminate NT or TAS, as I've been told that these records don't exist for 1932 - 1970.  (Please correct me if I've been told the wrong thing)

Surely Oliver Ridgway didn't disappear into thin air?

I may have found Evelyn though...hopefully

For anyone still following this thread...

I am looking for the following Ridgways listed as 'dead' wife and children on William Ridgways death certificate in 1897 in Victoria:

Sarah Ridgway b1865 Taunton Somerset, still alive 1893
William Frank Ridgway b1893 Richmond

The death certificate also said they had spent the last 2 years in victoria, but the 2 years before that in Tasmania.  However, were in Victoria for Wms birth in 1893 and Elsie's death and birth in 1889.

Have checked the Victorian and NSW indexes with no luck.  Others in this thread have checked TAS.  Where did they go?  Surely their deaths were registered somewhere  Huh
TIA

PS Don't look for Oliver's death...he died in NZ

Hi Tristi
Just wondering was  Lily listed as one of Williams children on his death certificate?  Also who was the informant?
There is a Auckland probate in 1966 for a Oliver RIDGWAY -Pukekohe-Retired Gardener. http://archway.archives.govt.nz/
