Thanks Beg for that "pick up" in old NZ papers re: Coralie Elvira Ward death. Perhaps there are more than 1 Coralie Elvira, as I definately have a marriage for Coralie Elvira Trevelyan to James Arthur Schott in 1879 on Tas Pioneer Index. If it was the same one that was married to Walter Ward, one would think she'd carry the surname of Ward into her 2nd marriage.

The other strange thing is, I've found at least 2 different Coralie Elvira/Elvere Schott's on Australian Electoral Rolls. One, as a Nurse/Matron & the other a Teacher (both living alone) & past "her" 1936 death??

The mystery continues  ???

New Zealand Completed Requests / Possible Birth & Marriage

I am looking for the possible birth & marriage in NZ of Elvira Coralie Trevelyn or Coralie Elvira Trevelyan. She supposedly married a Walter Ward in Dunedin in 1876 & then the next record I have for her is her 2nd marriage to James Arthur Schott on 25 Sep 1879, Hobart, Tas. She died on 1 May 1936, Hobart but I cannot find her birthplace anywhere?

Regards!

Thanks for that Wivenhoe! Strange that she has the name "Clara," as it never appears on her birth or marriage certificates. I have Henry William's WWI record (must look at it closer hey!) That's interesting that Caroline & James weren't living together...interesting!

Thanks for that...I'm off to Trove again!

Cheers!

Australia Lookups completed / Caroline ARMSTRONG (nee JUBB) Completed
« on: Sunday 08 May 11 09:35 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for the death of Caroline Armstrong (nee Jubb) Born in Launceston on 13 Apr 1855, she married James Armstrong on 30 Mar 1878, Carlton, Vic. James died on 5 Oct 1926, East St Kilda, Vic. On his death certificate it states his marriage to her but not whether she's alive or dead. I've been through all the VIC indexes & no joy & looked at Ancestry's Australian Census' & deaths, to no avail. They had 4 children, all in Victoria: Ada Elizabeth, Henry James, Henry John & Gertrude May Armstrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone re: Sign Painter! I now realize that he isn't the right Henry Holbrock I was searching for, so I won't take up your offer of Clifton buildings, Weste.

Thanks again.
