HAGUE, Lawrence Wilfred

[Jamjar]

By purchasing a transcript of her death certificate, I think. Or, by finding a marriage registration, which I have had no luck with.

I’m thinking that they weren’t married, as in her family members’ death notices in 1941, 1944, 1945 it mentions a Miss Hettie/Nettie Platt.

Added: It appears the whole family were deceased by 1948.

Sister Olive (Davis) in 1928 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article62341500;
Lillian in 1941 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article63554383

Do you have the death of Lawrence?

The waters are getting muddier yet.  I do believe Lawrence married Henrietta Platt because on Page 21 of his military papers, her name is written out specifically as his wife.  Her address is listed as 78 Myre(?) Street, North Ward, Townsville.   I cannot however prove this.  When he was discharged, paperwork and medal were sent to Mrs. Jack Siddaway, 3 Bower Street, Manly NSW. 

Now another piece of the puzzle has cropped up.  I have a Kenneth Hague, born 14 April 1924, father Lawrence Hague, 3 Fourth Avenue, South Townsville.  On his military papers, next-of-kin was originally written as Barbara Ellen Hague, this was crossed out and 'father, Lawrence Hague' written in.  Barbara Ellen Pearce Hague was the second wife of Lawrence Wilfred Hague Sr.  Again, Queensland BDM is unable to provide any information, or at least nothing that I could find.  Is it possible that Lawrence Jr. was the son of Lawrence Sr and Myrtle Gladys Williams, and Kenneth was the son of Lawrence Sr. and Barbara Ellen Pearce?

 Is there SOME way that I can prove either of these?   ANY help will be appreciated.

Henrietta is buried at Townsville’s Belgian Gardens Cemetery. There are quite a few Hague buried there.

She is buried with Henrietta Louisa and Lillian Mabel Platt. Next to William John and John William Coleman Platt.

Re marriage, it has been known for women living with their mate to adopt his surname when not married. My step-mother lived, had a son to my father and is buried using his surname when not married.
