Please can anyone help find infomation on Thomas Percy and Hettie LAWSON last heard of living at 21 Capricorn St INALA BRISBANE. They were visited at that address in the 1960s by an aunt of mine.
Believed they travelled out to Australia in 1926.
TIA Mike in York UK

Hello there Mike,
I would assume that these two folks could be dead?
Now a little bit more information will help.
Where and when were they born. Did they marry in Australia?
all helps to find them

I think Hettie is a pet form of Harriet.

good work there Cando
I did see a Thomas Percival Lawson on the 1930 and 1936 rolls in Sydney though but no one else with him (of voting age that is).

Jenn followed up on your find and on the 1930 roll there are two enrolments in the same district - perhaps moved house - both have occupations labourer...and are the only eligibe voters with the name at the addresses, however the 1936 roll does have two LAWSONs at one address
Australia Electoral Rolls 1936
LAWSON Annie Alice 327c Edgecliff Road, Woolahra Home duties
LAWSON Thomas Percival 327c Edgecliff Road, Woolahra Butler.
I did check the Divorce Index to 1930 - nil. However found the following but can find no marriage for the above couple on the NSW bdm's.
Marriage
15227 1930
PATON Robert G
LAWSON Hettie
District Balmain North
1936 Electoral Roll
PATON Harriett 66 Flood Street, Leichhardt Home duties
PATON Robert Gray 66 Flood Street, Leichhardt, Labourer.
Nothing to prove that these are the correct people.
Cheers

Bingo...all above is probably correct
PATON Harriet Coates (Hetty)
Death notice 24JUL1970
Death late of Leichhardt
Sydney Morning Herald 27JUL1970
So the couple your aunt visited in Brisbane would have been Thomas Percival with his 2nd wife.
Cheers

The NSW online BDM
shows the following marriage
15227/1930 groom PATON ROBERT G bride COATES HETTIE at BALMAIN NORTH
15227/1930 PATON ROBERT G bride LAWSON HETTIE at BALMAIN NORTH
odd though no divorce showing on line up to 1930!! edit there are only up to 1923.

Many Thanks Jenn and Cando for your efforts.
I am just doing a little homework having found a note book written by my aunt in 1976. I will post again when I have digested the info contained within.
Aunt did meet up with Thomas and his wife Alice, no children mentioned at all so perhaps they didnt have any.
Evidently there was mention of their reunion in one of the local papers around Apr 28 1976. Is there any access to the local papers on line that you may know of, now just on the track of their deaths
Regards Mike in York UK
