Thomas Lane

[DownUnder70]

Thomas SNR being a butcher was just something my Aunty has said, that he did as well as Thomas Jnr. He was listed as a driver on his marriage cert and a carter on his death cert though.

That 1954 voting roll I suspect was a mistake it should have said Thomas Jnr butcher as he lived with his mother Sarah Louisa until her death. My father visited them just before she died.

Yes Muriel Annie was one of the daughters.

Can you please list all the information on the marriage certificate.

Electoral Roll 1954  possible explanation -

Thomas LANE,  m. 1906, a labourer, is dead by 1954.
His son Thomas LANE b. 1907, a butcher, is Thomas Snr because he has a young adult son, Thomas.

Hi Karen

*  Does the above mean that you now have the Death Cert. of Thomas LANE, senior ??

Thomas Jnr never married or had kids.

No i viewed the probate details for Thomas online and it lists him being a carter.

I was thinking I might order the death cert online today though. Might give more info.

I misunderstood ... thought you'd meant Thomas Snr. 

*  Yes, (given the ease with which VIC BDM images can be downloaded), I think it's a good idea to purchase the death record.

Hi Karen

Thanks for the additional info re: LANE (MALLOY) - back in your reply # 22.    Well found by you. 
[Have had a bit of a look around for that new name ... and will get back about it.  Gotta go now (grandkids await)  ]

The LANE - SCOTT marriage certificate, 1906, would also be useful to get. It would ask, of bride and groom, birthplace, age, occupation, name of mother, name and occupation of father, address now, usual address, names of witnesses.  Probably a church service, so location and denomination of church would be useful.

Thomas is young at marriage so he has likely arrived from NZ with another person. The details on the marriage certificate might help to locate other family members.
