Looking for a NSW death - Laura Olwen Jones
« on: Monday 11 June 12 14:44 BST (UK) »
Searching for a death of a distant cousin who emigrated to Australia with her 3 sons on 30th April 1955.

She was LAURA OLWEN JONES  and born in Blaenau Ffestiniog on 19th June 1917

I have located her in New South Wales on the 1958 and 1963 Aussie electoral rolls on Ancestry as Laura Olwen Jones but no sign of her in 1980. I suppose she could have married for a third time after 1963 but so far all attempts to find a death by christian names and DoB have drawn a blank.

Any help greatly appreciated

Hi

Your person ofinterest may have married a 3rd time as you have noted.

NSW BDM restricts access to marriage records of less than 50 years so it is not possible to confirm or eliminate that possibility at the moment.  Sorry.

As your person was born 1917 they may well still be alive and if living in NSW then they are protected by our Privacy provisions.


Cheers JM

Thank you for posting the obit notice, I have been waiting for a copy of this for two weeks after submitting a request via the RYERSON INDEX. Some members appear to be slow although I did get another clip within 2 days from another Ryerson member. Laura's obit confirms childrens names etc

I am also waiting for 2 other obit clips from the RYERSON MEMBERS, both brothers of Laura

Ryerson look ups are done by volunteers and I wondered if you noted the following on their website when you posted your requests.

From their website.....
http://ryersonindex.net/request.php

..................Volunteers have lives too, and many reasons can get in the way of providing an immediate response to your request. In addition, many volunteers are retired, and can often be away from home and computer for extended periods.

Think very, very seriously about donating towards the cost of further indexing.


They provide a wonderful service and the index is an invaluable resource.
