A Maintenance Case.- Minnie Isabella Davis, formerly of Beaconsfield, proceeded against Henry Triptree at the Police Court yesterday, before Messrs. E. L. Hall, P. M., and F. R.

Law, instructed by Mr. M. J. Clarke, for defendant. After hearing the evidence, the bench made an order for the payment of 5s weekly. Defendant was also ordered to pay £1 ls counsel’s fees, and 12s 6d court costs, in default of paying the costs, to be imprisoned for one week. He was also to find one £30 for surety for the fulfilment of the order.

May be of interest (this is the female child of Minnie Isabel DAVIS and Henry TRIPTREE) https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=803625.0

Hello cupoflife thank you for researching Triptree family, has been very helpful.
Sounds like Henry had a child to Minnie Davis, and did not marry her.then had
another child Maxwell Triptree, who was born in 1908, but he did not marry Flo
until 9/5/1914. I am only assuming this by Maxwells death aged 50 1958.
If on census does it say who is living in household?, also if I got Florence death certificate
would it say how she died.
Cheers

Hope this provides some useful info on what to expect on Australian bdm certificates, although the information on death certificates is only what the informant provides.

No census taken here but there are these electoral roll entries. Electoral rolls do not show relationships.
Henry Charles TRIPTREE - all entries in Launceston West, his occupation: waterside worker.
1919, occ: labourer, at 29 Wellington St, Launceston, an Elizabeth TRIPTREE, home duties, shown at 19 Wellington St. Could be a misprint of the house numbers?
1928
Henry Charles TRIPTREE, waterside worker, and Bertha Flora TRIPTREE hd at 4 Margaret St
Another entry shows
Henry Charles TRIPTREE, waterside worker, and Bertha Flora TRIPTREE hd at 224 Brisbane St
Quite common for electoral roll not to be up-ot-date so it's probably the same couple who have moved house.
1936
Henry and Bertha at 224 Brisbane St
Maxwell Henry TIPTREE, fruit picker, 8 Margaret St
1937, 1949, 1954
Henry and Bertha at 256 Brisbane St
No entries shown for either Henry or Bertha after 1954

An on-line tree has
Bertha Flora GIBSON,
b abt 1902
married Henry Charles TRIPTREE, 10 June 1926 at St Paul's church, Launceston
died 13 October 1957
buried Car Villa, Launceston, 16 October 1957
There are no references for these dates so the birth and marriage would need to be checked further. Car Villa cemetery site shows burials for 10 person with surname TRIPTREE, including Henry Charles, Florence and Maxwell Henry and a further record for Bertha (Bertha's surname spelt TRIPPTREE), showing her date of death as 13 October 1957.

Hello everyone here I am back again, asking for your help since my last post I have managed
to find Henry Triptrees son Maxwell Triptree. Born August 27th 1908, Mother Florence Nuttle
unmarried mother Mathinna Tasmania aged 23.
With previous research Florence married Henry Triptree in 1914, then she died in 1917.
Hoping to find information of where Florence and son lived, before her marriage or any insight
into her life such as reason for early death
Thanks for your kindness, Lavender Blue

Mathew J thank you so much for the info u posted, it was very helpful, it seems this is Maxwell mother. Wondering where they lived from 1908 until her marriage in 1914.
Sad she only lived 3 yrs after marriage maybe died in another pregnancy ?

Hi Lavender Blue,
I came across your post because I am researching into my family tree. My great grandmother Pearl was adopted and her parents are Henry Tiptree and Mini Davis.
We know from her personal stories about Henry and Mini but it has been fascinating to read these archives. She is the little girl Mini pursued child support for.
She had alzheimers before she passed but we managed to locate her sister and they met. I believe the sister was Mini’s second child to a different man.
Thank you for gathering this information on Henry Tiptree.
