Title: Elsie Vera Winifred GRANT
Post by: JackieQLD-au on Saturday 21 April 18 11:34 BST (UK)
Hi all,

I'm trying to fill some gaps in my Mum's birth mother's information.

Elsie Vera Winifred GRANT was b. 23 Oct 1905 at Somerville, Frankston, Victoria.
She had a liaison with Clive Richard GOLDSWORTHY and my Mum was the result.
The story is that Elsie tried to keep my Mum but just couldn't and ended up having her adopted out.  However, so saying that, Clive's mother, Harriet Kate GOLDSWORTHY (nee CROSS) came down from country Victoria and adopted her.  I have all that paperwork.

What I'm seeking is Electoral Roll/s information.

In 1935 she married William Ephraim James HEYWOOD and they had a son named James.
Another son, Kenneth Walter apparently died prior to 1962 from drowning -> possible in the Murray River.

I'm trying to find info on James and Kenneth.

Elsie passed away on 16 September 1962.

I have seen the following on Google...
JG Mackintosh - WorldConnect - Ancestry.com

Oct 23, 2005 - ... Ailsa MCKECHNIE 4 Living GRANT + Ruby Buckley WILLIAMS b: 1929 4 Living GRANT 4 Living GRANT 4 Living GRANT 3 Elsie Vera Winifred GRANT b: 1905 d: 16 Jun 1962 + William James Ephrain HEYWOOD b: 29 Sep 1894 d: 1963 4 Kenneth HEYWOOD 4 James HEYWOOD 2 John David GRANT ...

but I don't have ancestry to connect with this person.

If anyone can help, I'd be greatly appreciative.

Kenneth Walter's death notice:

His parents were at the same address as in the newspaper and prior to that they were at 12 New Street, Dandenong in 1937.

Oh WOW !!!

Thank you to all the wonderful people who have looked up this information for me.
I am particularly surprised to find that William was married prior to marrying Elsie.

I now have photos of the plaques at the cemetery and Death Notices....

It's just so amazing.... THANK YOU
