Australia / Re: Death in Mildura VIC 1899- Edward Mostyn THELWELL
« on: Sunday 04 April 21 03:31 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I just came across this thread (some 9 years after it was posted!).
Edith Lawrence, who "Major" Edward Mostyn Thelwell made his executor and beneficiary, was in fact a relation of mine. She was the sister of my Great Grandfather Frederick Lawrence, who (along with a brother Philip Lawrence and another sister Elsie, and parents Herbert and Mary), all settled in Mildura before giving the game away and relocating to Toora around 1900 to become Dairy Farmers.
Now we are very curious as to the nature of the relationship between Edith and Edward, and about this place "Ravensworth".
Edith did subsequently marry in Toora to John Gardener, who was also in Mildura and had emigrated with the family from Birmingham.
Cheers MT
