Josephine Ruane Death
« on: Thursday 25 January 18 21:14 GMT (UK) »
Morning,

I have been asked to find a friend's grandmothers death that has puzzled the family for decades.

What do I know about her?

Her name was Josephine RUANE and she was born was born in 1883 to MATHEW and MARIA in LISMORE   (NSW BDM Cert 29583/1883 )

She got married in 1906 to John G GIESE  in CASINO (NSW BDM Cert. 6910/1906 )

Josephine and John had multiple children..........and then she disappears......well at least from NSW records.

I can't locate a remarriage, a death or a cemetery record, and Ancestry is not very forthcoming either!

Not sure if she travelled over the border and is hidden in the QLD or other records........but I would love to get a death date and hopefully cemetery location for Josephine.

Cheers

Siouxsie x

Well-found Matthew  :)

I was just looking at the obits and funeral notice for the John George GIESE who died in 1951 and trying to match up the children mentioned   There is no mention of his wife or widow.

Wow.........Debra, you are a superstar. Many thanks.

And Ros.......many thanks, and ditto to Matt.

Now the question is..........when did she marry Alfred Howard........not listed as Howard in NSW or QLD.

This is a woman who went to great lengths to disappear from her family........it will be interesting to unearth her secrets.

His is not a very unusual name, but do we think this is the same chap under a magistrate's order?
