Any info marriage/death Margaret MITCHELL Melbourne

[Emmybeth]

Hi Ros
Just to let you know I have spent a few hours searching uk bmd records and not had much luck there with the list of unusual names either. Found a few births, no marriages and only one death. Looked at Victoria records for Margaret but I found nothing either. Maybe she moved to another state.
Thanks for your help and I will keep searching.

That's a shame Linda ... 

I'll have a look around the other states and NZ.

I'm sorry Linda - I haven't found anything ...  I've checked other states for deaths with those parents (or one or the other).  I've been through the Victorian marriages of Margaret Mitchells and checked the deaths of that Margaret to check the age (if they had died before 1987).  I've checked trove (newspapers) for any mentions ...

Still thinking ...

Another rootschatter, muss, mentioned that she couldn't find most of the other "Yorkshire girls" from the article marrying in Victoria

Something is amiss...  I have not found any reply by muss on this thread, nor any obvious modifications by any of our volunteer moderators. 

May I please learn which unusual surnames have already been checked.

Thanks for trying Ros. I found possible marriages for Margaret to Young Pascoe and Newbon but no death in Victoria or UK to match these. Ursula Tooby returned to UK and died 1977. Mary Flatley returned by 1931 as she married then.
Guess Margaret will remain a mystery for now.

I found a marriage for Mary K Flatley in Victoria in 1927     Not as uncommon name as we thought 

I'll keep thinking Linda ...  And I'm sure others will be along with some good ideas.

According to the (incoming) passenger list available at the National Archives of Australia, there’s at least one other passenger surnamed MITCHELL on that voyage.

685
Frank MITCHELL, boarded London, to Independent Hall, Collins St, Melbourne (pg 58 of 79)
 and

600 (?)
Margaret MITCHELL, boarded London, to Federal Mills, Geelong (pg 55 of 79).

 Same voyage, but this time from a list compiled as outward from London (I did not look for Frank on that list).

Ticket 852
Miss M MITCHELL,  16, Beacon Parade, Halifax, Yks, 3rd class, to Melbourne, aged 34, English.

Perhaps she adjusted her age.

JM thanks for that. Maybe it is not my Margaret on that voyage at all  I only know she left 'with her sewing machine' some time after 1921. Family stories say to Australia. As she was a dressmaker going to Federal Mills seemed to fit.
Back to the drawing board 
Ros just checked births for Mary K Flatley again there is only one possible Mary Kathleen in 1906. Of course she may have been registered as Mary and there are a few of those. She married Thomas J Needham.
