Joseph Giles and wife Rita Ellen
« on: Tuesday 25 July 17 15:42 BST (UK) »
Looking for any info on Joseph Giles please. Born England 1909 and went to Australia - date unknown
I have found him in 1941 living in Kelvin Grove, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
He gives his middle name as Leighton (that was his father's name)
His wife is Rita Ellen.
I can find her living until 1958 - last residence at 11 Thynne Ave, Norman, Bowman, Queensland,Australia.  I have a death date for Rita of 15 Oct 1958.  Another record, with the same date records the burial of an Ellen R Giles who was the daughter of Thomas Lewis and Annie McCorey.

I cannot find a date for Joseph arriving in Oz. I cannot find a date for him marrying Rita and I cannot find a death for him!
Any help please!

This girl was one of several to the couple.

I am guessing STAR is St Arnaud

Thanks - Bingo - I have Clarence Roderick living in Kelvin Grove, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia which is the same street as Rita Emma and Joseph.

But Now I am confused! You have Percival Walter Scott marrying Emma Rita Lewis in 1908 but there is also Clarence Roderick Scott and Emma Rita.....do you think she married 2 brothers? Or is that her son?
Thanks for all your help!
