Hi Teresa,
I would love to make contact with you.  I have some information about this family which I might add is not really mine.  I was doing this research for my brother-in-law.
 If you could somehow personal message your email address that would be good..  I am not sure how to do that.
Cheers   
 Bev

Hi
I am Hannah Dwyer's  great grand daughter....
My grandfather was William Bede Dwyer born in Morven Qld.
I share your frustration....cannot find the birth certificate nor the marriage certificate.
Am also trying to track her parents - Joseph and ? Thompson....
Hannah did not speak of her family and from what I was told there was a split in her family when she married into the Dwyer family. I am guessing it might be the Jewish family /religion that caused the split.  I am yet to prove my "theory" but I think Hannah immigrated to Australia from the UK...I have found a couple of immigration records but yet to link it together. I remember Uncle Joe along with Uncle Arthur and the others..... and my Mother has memories of both Joe & Edith.  I have the records of the children/dates of birth/where they were born. They moved around a lot searching for work ....
They finally settled in Ipswich because of work with the railways.
My grandfather joined the Australian Navy and was on the first Australian Naval Ship to enter Japan...he was also in the merchant navy and went to China before it was open to the world.
 I have 2 prints he brought back from Shanghai that I treasure.
Please let me know what you records you need (other than the 2 we are both looking for)
Jules

Hi Jules,
As you have not yet responded to my personal message I will assume that you haven't received it.  I am very interested in making contact with you to trade information.  I would love to hear more about Joe and Ethel.   It appears you need to make three posts before I can Personal message you.
I have also send a message through My Heritage Family Tree Builder.  ( I hope I have the right Jules) I have given you an email address there as well which you can make contact if you want.
Hope to hear from you soon;
Cheers Bev

Continuing on with search for ancestors   
Still searching for Hannah Dwyer nee Levy or Levi ancestors.
I have received her son Arthur Reginald Dwyer's Birth Certificate stating he was born at Hoggs Creek, Dundee District of Glen Innes NSW  on  19 Feb 1891.
          1: She was 34 and Thomas Patrick was 40 at the time of his birth.
          2: Thomas and Hannah married on 22 June 1876 in Seymour Victoria. 
          3: Hannah was born in Sale Victoria
          4: Thomas at Redfern Sydney NSW.

My dilemma is I cannot find their marriage details nor Hannah's birth details.   I am trying to locate her parent's names so I can proceed in my search to find how they came to Australia.
Can anyone suggest a way forward??

I have discovered that the Levy is connected to the Jewish religion. Many Levy's buried at Jewish Rookwood Cemetery in Sydney.
I have also found this birth record in Vic BMD which may have some bearing:
LEVI Hannah- Event Birth: Father's name: George - Mother's maiden name  Ann (Toogood) - Reg. year 1857 - Reg. no: 15717
Hannah's  death record in Qld BMD: 1945 -  C618  - Hannah Dwyer  - Joseph Levy - Thompson
 Thompson or Toogood) ?? If the grandparents  died in early years the grand children may never have known them so may not remember names etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.. Thank you :)

Hi Gerry
That would explain Edward's  death in Brisbane. They had been living in Cairns prior to his death and things would have been tough with no money coming in.  That would fit in with the rent scenario.  Poor Edith her first husband died in 1918 leaving her to rear a young family and now this.

Hi, A bit more information on Edward and Edith Twomey.

Many of the earlier Queensland State Electoral Rolls held at the Queensland State Archives were annotated by Electoral Officers for things such as, not voting, a death, a change of name, a change of electorate etc and with respect to Edward and Edith Twomey we find a few interesting facts.

The 1923 Qld State Electoral Roll.
The Electoral District of Windsor.
Edward Twomey, Kennedy St, Windsor.
Edith Mantle, Kennedy St, Windsor. With Mantle crossed out and annotated Twomey.

Edward qualified to be on that roll on 21st Nov 1922 and Edith Mantle on 5th Jan 1923.

1925 Qld State Electoral Roll
The Electoral District of Windsor.
Edward Twomey, Kennedy St, Windsor, timber worker.
Edith Twomey, Kennedy St, Windsor, house wife.

1926 Qld State Electoral Roll
The Electoral District of Windsor.
Edith Twomey, Kennedy St, Windsor, house wife. Annotated "Cairns"
Edward Twomey, Kennedy St, Windsor, timber worker.  ditto

This indicates a move to the Cairns Electorate.

1927 Qld State Electoral Roll
The Electoral District of Cairns
Edward Twomey, Minnie St, Cairns, Sawyer. Qualified to be on the roll, 6th April 1926.
Edith Twomey, Minnie St, Cairns, house wife, qualified to be on the roll, 26th March, 1926.

This would indicate a move to Cairns in late 1925 or early 1926, depends what the qualifying period was.

1928 ditto 1927.

1929 Qld State Electoral Roll
The Electoral District of Cairns
Edward Twomey, Minnie St, Cairns, Sawyer. Annotated "Dead"
Edith Twomey, Minnie St, Cairns, house wife.
The 'Dead" annotation indicates that Edward had died but more interestingly was written in very feint hand writing what appeared to be "Diamantina (Sect 19)".  Does this mean Section 19 of the Electoral Act, probably and "Diamantina" does this refer to where he may have died, if so its a long way from Cairns.  Maybe a death certificate is needed!

1930 Qld State Electoral Roll
The Electoral District of Cairns
Edith Twomey, Minnie St, Cairns, house wife.  Annotated "Obj" which refers to an objection, in other words did not vote which means that Edith had moved out of Cairns to somewhere, she was not on the 1931 Cairns Roll.

Cairns Post, Thursday 6th June 1929, page 4.
MAGiSTRATES COURT,
M. V. Michilios v. Edith Twomey, rent due, L15 with 15/- costs.

Hi Gerry,
Yes this family were in Cairns. Their second son Leonard Henry Twomey was born in Cairns (as per WW2 records) so they did move there in 19 24/ 25  but Edward and Edith both died in Brisbane and are buried there. Edith in Toowong and Edward at Balmoral along with Maurice James and his son Maurice James.   Edward and George's first born Edward Patrick George was either stillborn or died in his first year of life.  He is in an unmarked grave at South Brisbane General Part A QLD - Portion 2F - Inscription Id: 8290152 - Buried next to Grandmother Sarah
Bev
PS:  Unless he died in Cairns and they transported his body back to Brisbane....
