Post by: Suzy W on Thursday 08 November 12 00:31 GMT (UK)
Lost all trace of William Julius Gask after marriage to Evelyn Lyall 1918 Auckland.
would like to know if they stayed in the Auckland area or moved.
I have checked all the online burials for Auckland and nothing is showing.

Oh just look, the name lost the "K" replaced by another "S"
No wonder I was having trouble.
So back to the search for Gass.

Thanks Janette.

Evelyn Edna Lyall was born in 1896, so this is not her son if  this George was born 1902. Unless he is a brother of William?
I have her marriage as the 21 Dec 1918 in Auckland to William GASK, from there they have dropped of the planet.  Yet William Julius Gass shows in 1919.

Looks like he ended up in Sydney Australia and married another women, so now I have to check what happened to Evelyn

Found her she died in 1930 Sydney.  Looks like William was a bit of a ladies man after she died.  Some reading to do on Trove.
Thanks Janette for your help.  I would never of guessed the name was Gass.

Hi Suzy,
Did you manage to find anything more about Evelyn?
I was trying to find out about her two children.  Which I've been told might be Mary and Ronald.
Thank you, Rachael

That's right Mary and Ronald.
Mary married a John
And Ronald married Eileen
Sorry can not put surnames as they could be living
Ronald died in Brisbane.
Are you related Racheal?  Lyall are my side.
