Death in Victoria 1902 - Kemp

[Keith Bateman]

Just found an interesting death in NSW

7440/1910  KEMP  SAMUEL  SAMUEL  ELSPETH  WARATAH     Huh  Huh

What do you think?

ahhhhhh 

No age given?

"My" Elspeth had a maiden name of Kemp - so she shouldn't have had a husband as a Kemp but.........

If it was her son she might have made up the father's name!

I'm glad you get in a mess with initials and names - what do you think I do!! 


Bathurst - near Sydney?

Ages aren't given on the NSW BDM index

Samuel may have made up his own Dad's name - wonder who was the informant on his death? (well - on the one in NSW)

I think the other one is Bath, Somerset - Jenn is being a s.a. (but I didn't say that    )

Well you learn something new every day 

I have YET to find one of my lot from NSW!! 

I thought every Oz record came with a life history as well!

what about  the  queensland connection,  is  it possible  that  this  is another lassie  who  could have  taken  her child  and  headed of  the  barnsley/gates connection  in  the north?

I checked  the  NSW  BDMs  and  couldn't  find elspeth  death  going  on  what  we  know

If you pay the big money      (and buy the certificate) you get the lot - otherwise - it's mainly Victoria that gives age at death on the Index - not there in Qld either

If you pay the big money

Be still my beating heart 

Now, are my newly found relations worth spending money on them

Think I will get all the information I can (free!) - and then see which certificate would give me the most extra data!

The "trouble" is you lot have found sooooo many new relations of mine - I keep looking and seeing - oops I only have their birth details down!! 

Yes - Jenn - not thought about "others" crossing the borders into Queensland - another new line of inquiry for me.

Cheers

Couldn't have said it better if I wrote it myself  

I usually only buy certificates for my direct lines (and not always then). In days of yore, my parents bought quite a few (no internet assistance  ) so I regularily send a little prayer of thanks 

The main certificates I do buy are death ones (very different to England/Wales) as they have so much information & can help in finding recent family, where the crazy "privacy" laws give no BDM access. For immigrants marriage certs are often very useful as they can give place of birth (often only county  ) and parents.

I haven't recovered from paying over $30 to the Northern Territory to receive a certificate which said "There is no sign of this person in our records". What a waste of my money & their time - bureaucracy in its most perfect form - from a territory which my taxes support to the hilt!

Now it is not often that I have asked a politician for help (never before in fact!!)

You never know!!

P.S.
Thanks for the advice on which certificates to get - I have been sent one from Oz (a Bateman - but not mine at the moment!) - they have living children, dead ones - which drink they like  - everything!!
