Australia / Re: Mother & Son (Eastern Australia)....
« on: Saturday 06 April 24 05:55 BST (UK) »
UPDATE: I don't think it's the same person. Just looked at the marriage record and it's for 1935!
Hi Stuart,
There is a death for a Ruth Irvine McDonald on the Ryerson index. Date of death 7th September 1991, aged 85, with the notice published in The Age on the 8th, 9th and 10th May. That makes her date of birth a couple of years out but just wondered if worth looking at with the same surname as you! I can't access the death notices but can see part of it. I'll PM you the link as other names mentioned may still be alive.
Kind regards,
Andrea

Hi Jim,
Sorry to hear there hasn't been any progress with the headstone. May need to give them a follow up if you haven't already! I hope someone will be able to have a look for you to check whether it's there or not. All the best!
Kind regards,
Andrea

Hi Grant,
It's been some time since I looked at this family so I just had a quick peek to re familiarise myself!
I found that I had saved this article stating that Laurence was originally from Italy.
https://www.coasit.com.au/images/ihs/journals/IHSJ_vol07_no1_1999.pdf - page 23.
However, the Adelaide hospital admission records that records his death, states that his country of birth was Malta!
Do you have a connection to the family?
Regards,
Andrea

Hi Garry,
I hope this is your Bertha! As she was cremated, it doesn't look like there is a grave site for her.

I noticed on Jean/Jeanie's nursing application that she did her training at the Deaconess Hospital in Edinburgh. I thought I'd have a look and found this website.

Also this: https://www.rcpe.ac.uk/sites/default/files/jrcpe_48_1_mcneill.pdf
Their records may nor may not offer any new information but just thought it was worth mentioning in case you wanted to investigate further!

My apologies if it's already been mentioned or you already have this information but there are Nursing Register records for Jean Whiteford Ross on Ancestry, with the last one showing for 1954 and her address as Duneton, Stonefield Rd, Blantyre. There is also a nursing application for 1929 confirming her DOB as 22nd March 1902. I'm intrigued by this lady so good luck with your continued search!

Hi Peter,
Not sure if you have seen these videos or not. While they don't help with the information you are seeking for Waupaca, they provide a good visual context for Frankston during the different decades and are quite interesting!
