Joseph Robb Pratt

[Jamjar]

I’m looking for information on Joseph Robb Pratt.

This is his death: 18303/1957 PRATT Joseph Robb parents ROBERT and ELIZABETH BALMAIN

I’m hoping for anything in NSW - I have his Qld birth - that will indicate who he married and whether there were children. Electoral rolls maybe?

There is nothing on Ryerson for him, nor on Trove with Robb as middle name. There are some Joseph R.

He may have married Charlotte Houghton in WAGGA 1896 and had children, Florence, Isabella and Elsie. This is found on a GENI tree. However, I see that a Charlotte Pratt in Wagga has quite a few children after the 1897 birth of Florence and no father name is listed on NSWBDM.

The GENI tree has Charlotte’s death as 1949, but doesn’t say where. I can’t see it on NSWBDM.

There are two other Joseph R marriages to consider:

1417/1905 PRATT Joseph R to CARDWELL Euphemia J HAMILTON

1038/1920 PRATT Joseph R REEVES Elsie PETERSHAM

I do know it may be a case of having to purchase his death certificate.

It looks like Isobella Evelyn wasn’t his.

GENI has her marrying William Conquit and the is supposedly her death:

10332/1926 CONQUIT EVELYN I parents GEORGE F and CHARLOTTE WAGGA WAGGA

Good find Wivenhoe 

On the electoral roll, the wife is shown as Elsie Mary PRATT.  She and Joseph Robb PRATT are living at 11 Hanover St Balmain.

Then it appears that in 1958, Elsie Mary PRATT is living at 34 Keith Kells Road, Ryde

Below is death notice for an Elsie Mary PRATT who died Dec 1960, late of Ryde - it is a possibility

Well, looks like a death transcript is going to be required after all.

Thank you all for the information.
