Flora Grundy, Tasmania

[Jessies Mum]

Getting myself completely confused.  Have two Flora Grundys in my husband's tree.  Both born Tasmania - one to Joseph and Sarah (nee Morgan), one to William and Jane (nee Morell).  Trying to ascertain which one married Thomas Buck and moved to South Australia.  Birth around 1870's.

Hi Jessies Mum,

According to my Grundy Tree both were Flora Amelia (just to make things less confusing!!!)

The daughter (born 20 June 1874) of Joseph Grundy and Sarah Morgan married Thomas Michael O'Connor.  She had 3 illegitimate children before her marriage. I don't have anything further.

The daughter (born 29 Oct 1873) of William Grundy and Jane Morrell married Thomas Buck.  I don't have anything further than their wedding date.  (But you seem to know they moved to SA so I obviously need to look there).

To put this into perspective: John Grundy and Maria Hales had 8 children including William, Henry and Joseph.   The William and Joseph are named above.  The Henry is my great great grandfather.

I haven't looked at my Grundy line for a while but do have a fair bit.  Would love to share info with you.

Oh great!  The names Flora and Amelia obviously went very well together back in the day!

Am thrilled to know Debbie that you are actually connected also, just brilliant

Really appreciate your help.

Flora and Thomas CONNOR married after 1896 when the info on certificates was expanded.  It confirms her parents as Joseph and Sarah.

Flora and Thomas Buck had a son - Aubrey Leonard, born 1895 in Mount Gambier

So who is this then?  This is really familiar to me and I am sure we have gone through the ISLINGTON/GRUNDY thing before but can't remember the outcome.

Mother known as "Flora RILEY".  The word 'monse/munse' in Flora's letters should I think be 'months'.

Mrs. W. Riley desires to thank all kind friends for letters, cards and expressions of sympathy, especially people of Sprent, during her sad bereavement, in the loss of her son, the late Private Aubrey Buck, killed in France, August 25th 1916. Sheffield, October 21.

Thanks Debra,

Looks like we all have a lot more work to do.  I haven't looked at this Grundy line for ages.  All I had on both Floras was what I mentioned above.

Have to actually do some work this afternoon, but looks like I won't be getting much else done over the weekend...  These Grundys always were tricky.

Hi Debbie,

I've just registered so that I can post to this thread :-)

John Grundy (who married Maria Hales) was my GGGG grandfather.

I'm getting so confused as there's references to him marrying two Maria's - Maria Hales and Maria Willis. E.g. on Joseph Grundy's (b1848) birth record it mentions Maria Willis, but I'm assuming my GGG grandfather's (William Grundy b1829) mother was Maria Hales??

Are you able to clear this up?? Do you know when Maria Hales died and where she is buried? Or when/where Maria Hales and John Grundy were married?

Thanks,
Kalli
