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

editied to fix road name

MRS. ELSIE PRATT and family, of George and Millen Streets, Kingswood, wish to thank all those kind persons who assisted on the occasion of the. accident and subsequent death of her husband and their father; especially those who organised a tennis tournament, and others who helped in many ways with expressions of sympathy and floral tributes.

Well, looks like a death transcript is going to be required after all.
Thank you all for the information.

Looks like Elsie is buried with son Phillip. Joseph isn’t there.

Joseph Robb PRATT died on 22 August 1957 so it appears that the Nepean Times Announcement of gratitude in May 1957 was from another Elsie PRATT

Thanks JM. I’m suspecting Joseph didn’t spend much time in Wagga.

What I’d like is to discover now is how many children he had. So far it looks like a possible one with Charlotte and then Phillip with Elsie.
Someone sent me a photo of Joseph’s brother George Bell Pratt, but I can’t recall who. I know It wasn’t anyone in my living family. Pity really as they might have known Joseph, too.

Hi Jamjar,
Ok about having the Queensland info.

I have NOT found Euphemia PRATT on any NSW roll prior to WWI, and notice she is NOT on Gerry's 1910 Qld roll offering... :) I checked Newcastle etc and the polling place of Hamilton (1905 marriage sighting) - possible death indexed at NSW BDM online for 1960 as Euphemia Jean PRATT.
I’m looking for information on Joseph Robb Pratt.
This is his death: 18303/1957 PRATT Joseph Robb parents ROBERT and ELIZABETH BALMAIN

I am sure that Euphemia Jean was wife of Joseph Richard as per Ryerson sightings... both late of Lakemba, both died 1960 SMH 23 March for Euphemia and SMH 9 July for Joseph.
