South Australian Electoral Roll - Keeble (completed))

[sparrett]

I wonder who was the woman who placed the advertisement  in the WA paper in 1915 regarding the whereabouts of GEORGE KEEBLE.
  I have not seen JOSIAH’s second marriage but perhaps it is there.

The decree for dissolution of his marriage to SOPHIA GANE, GEORGE’s mother was obtained by JOSIAH in 1888 in Wilcania.  The advertisement in 1915, was some years after JOSIAH’s death in 1896.

Wilhelmina was Josiah second wife, they were married in Victoria in 1891.
I am not sure why she would place an advertisment looking for George, so long
after his fathers death.  She died in Victoria in 1960. 

Josiahs first wife Sophia went onto marry the person named in the Divorce proceedings - Charles Grainbauer.

The children bore his name, and by the looks of things, none were biological.  Some have
two birth certificates registered, or have been corrected.

The births were registered as KEEBLE - father unknown or WESTHEAD - father unknown, but the same birth registration number - note the registration numbers and only three certificates have R noted.

According to Lachlan's WW2 service summary he was born after the limit of available birth registrations in Vic.  I wonder how many other children Rachel had?

What information leads you to believe that George Henry KEEBLE left Mildura in 1907?

You mention that George's grave has a headstone, someone would have had to organize that.  Perhaps he left a Will with instructions.

Transcriptions of death certificates are available in South Australia at about half the cost of a certified certificate, just in case you even need another one

The decree for dissolution of his marriage to SOPHIA GANE, GEORGE’s mother was obtained by JOSIAH in 1888 in Wilcania

Wilcannia.....this looks more and more like George Henry KEEBLE in 1898.

NSW Police Gazette 16th November 1898, page 389.

A George Keeble was tried at the Wilcannia Police Court on 25th Oct 1898 for stealing from a person and sentenced to 3 months hard labour.  Bound over in the sum of £40 and one surety in £40 to be of good behaviour for 12 months and report to the Wilcannia Police every 3 months.

The decree for dissolution of his marriage to SOPHIA GANE, GEORGE’s mother was obtained by JOSIAH in 1888 in Wilcania.  

There is birth in Wilcannie in 1892. Advertisement mentions Wilhelmina "Lena KEEBLE"

1892/38531
KEEBLE Jessie G
Father Josiah W   Mother Lena
District Wilcannia

I don't think you will find any further electoral roll info other than what has already been posted by Sashar and me.

The legal notice was simply a notice that an application would be made to the NSW supreme court to have Josiah's Will probated and George Henry was named an executor.  Well that's how I interpret it

Cheers

I wonder if  father JOSIAH  and son GEORGE moved around the country together after the end of the marriage of JOSIAH and SOPHIA.

A reference to George Keeble in WA as clearing some land .  Says he was miner 2 years previously.

It is family folklore I suppose you could call it about George leaving before any
children were born.  He was married in 1904 and the first child was born in 1907.
The first childs name has the name McVeigh in it, a clue to his paternal lineage.

Rachel bore 13 children from 1907 to 1930, she was also a midwife.

Georges death fell just outside of the time period where I could get a transcription,
so I had to resort to getting the certificate.

There is a Probate notice for Josiah 1987, the other notice in the paper from Wilhelmina was
from 1915, with her trying to find George Keeble, and was placed in the Barrier Miner Newspaper from Broken Hill,
and we now know he in that area in the 1930's so perhaps he was in that area in 1915 as well.

I hadnt put the Wilcannia occurances together, so perhaps you are right there.  Great find in Trove, I hadnt
come across the George Keeble in Wilcannia!

thanks again

EDIT....The remarriage of the exwife
Sopia KEEBLE remarried......

Ferdinand Grambauer died in 1943.  He was a squatter in the Rockhampton district with large tracts of land.

Cool, hadnt yet searched for their obits.

All fits in with the dates I have for them.

Rachael Vida Keeble (nee Westhead) is my wife's grannie Keeble.  I do not believe she had any children to George Keeble however I do know that she had many men pass through her life.  I also believe that some of those children bare the surname of their father. Eg. Alice Lavinia McInerney Keeble and sister Margaret Rachael Mary McInerney Keeble.  During WWI she communicated with a McInerney who died overseas in action.  I believe Alice and Mary are products of that relationship. Another Harold Keniverus "Campbell" Keeble, another August Victor Foster Keeble.  My wifes mother and 4 of her siblings are the product of a relationship with a "Foster."  The oldest child a boy who died in his teens from a snake bite also bore a surname which I cannot remember for the moment.  I did some research and found that a person with the same surname was in Mildura at the time this boy would have been conceived but eventually ended up in Melbourne where he died.  George Keeble I am told is buried in the Peterborough cemetery.  One of Rachael's grandchildren traced him there apparently many years back and spoke with some old guy who new him.  All the children appear to have been given the name Keeble even though no Keeble appears to have been around at that time.  She had 14 children.  My mother-in-law is Myrtle Eugene Augusta Keeble however her records clearly show her father was Foster.  Some of the men in her life are John Henry McInerney, *** Alexander,  Frederick Foster, Frederick William Kolpin, John B Minford, Claude Lipscombe.  If anyone has any better info please let me know as I am stumbling through this at the moment.
