Hi Yvonne,
I'm sure all here will be interested to hear whether Winnie made a late in life marriage in Eng.

Do keep us up to date ;D

Hi All

Just to let you know that I have now received a copy of a marriage cert for Winnie Smee & it is our Winnie. It seems she marr over here in 1982, she was 68 & her husband Wm Low was 81 !! All the details from the cert tie up so I'm happy it is our elusive Winnie - EUREKA. I'm assuming the death rec in Watford, 1987, for Winnie Low is also her

If anyone discovers her on any recs in Aust I would still love to hear from you as she is still a mystery whilst in your country ??!!!

Many thanks for everyone who has been looking for me.

Bye Yvonne   :)

Hi  Jenn

I'm not really sure about Wm Low. However, I've found a couple of poss birth recs in UK + what I believe to be his first marr & birth of 2 daughters all in Watford, Herts - this info ties up with what I had already been told by a family member. I'm therefore assuming he was English & is the same man Winnie had a relationship with before she emigrated to Aust.

Thanks for all your help.
Bye Yvonne     :)

Hi all - just to let you know that I have now (finally !!) been able to locate Winnie on the Aust Elect Rolls for 1958-1977 incl. It seems she was in the area of  Toorak,Victoria  for her entire time in your country.
Many thanks to all of you who have either helped or attempted to offer assistance. I think the query on Winnie can now be called RESOLVED.
Bye Yvonne

Hi Yvonne

I didn't participate in the thread but spent sometime searching.  I had already looked up Winifred's electoral roll listings for you and now see you had already found them ;D  I will type them up in case you did not actually look at the image of the rolls with all the detail.  I also checked googlemaps streetview to see where she had lived.  You may like to do the same :)

1968
SMEE Winifred Ann 529 Malvern Road, Toorak  Hospital employee

Hello Cando - Many thanks for that & I'm sorry  ::) that you appear to have wasted your time on my behalf !!!!!!!!!!!!
You have found exactly the same info as I have & yes I was able to access the elect rolls. I've also googled her addresses to have a look where she lived.
Winnie has proved to be a mystery once she landed in Aust, until now that is, so I really pleased to have finally located her.

Once again [i]A BIG THANK YOU. [/i]
Bye Yvonne  :) :)
