Victoria(possibly but area not def) death+marriage-SMEE, Winifred

[Billyblue]

And no death for her found in NSW 1951-1980, all Smee deaths that period are males.
No marriages 1951-1960 either

Hi to all of you who are trying to find any info on Winnie for me ..... she is really proving to be one elusive lady !!!!   
Her birth is rec on BMD as Q3 1914 @ Tynemouth area of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Northumberland. As far as I'm aware she would have spent most of her life in the North Shields area of that part of the country until she emigrated to Aust. On the travel recs to Aust her employment is given as domestic duties, it is also possible she may have  been able to work as a dressmaker or needlework of some description as quite a few members of her family did.
I had already thought that her middle initial of 'A' could have been for Ann or Annie as this was her maternal Gran's first name.
Is it at all poss that the death rec in NZ could have an incorrect YOB ?? does it give any other info on her please ??
Don't know if any of the above will be of any help to anyone. I have a large supply of huge shovels/spades if anyone is interested, they might help with your digging !!!!!!   
Please don't give up on me 

Thanks & bye for now

Hi Jen

Thanks for that, I think we can safely say that this isn't 'our Winnie' but I wish I can find something def about her. She just seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth once she arrived in Aust !!! Yet I know she was alive for at least a few years as my husband can remember his Mum (Winnie's sister) baking & sending her a Christmas cake for quite a few years.
Would anyone be able to look at the electoral rolls for me .... just a thought

Bye for now

I checked the electoral roll till 1954  in NSW QLD VIC WA  but no luck

What about her son did hehave any contact at all?

Jenn

[YJC]

Unfort we do not have any contact with the son or even know if he is still alive. My husband has not seen him for many, many years.

Update re Winnie Smee ..... it now appears that Winnie retd to the UK & probably stayed here, not sure of dates. However, a possible marr rec (Smee) in 1982 & death in 1987 - both Watford, Herts- look as if they may be her ,I'm still checking .
No wonder we have all been having probs finding her in Aust !!!!

However, I would still be interested if anyone is able to find any info about her whilst she was in Aust. The details re her sailing, 29/8/1951, Southampton-Melbourne are DEF correct but don't know how long she remained out with you.

Bye for now
Yvonne
