Hi Genni

I haven't checked death notices as yet.  The date of death was 30 Oct 1946.

Although family members have mentioned that he changed his name to avoid his ex-wife, they have been very silent on details.  So I think I will have to keep my ears open and lead the conversation to it.  :o

I haven't checked hospital records and not sure how to.  ???

According to the details on his death certificate he should have arrived in VIC about 1920.  On his son's marriage certificate in 1935 he was noted as deceased. 

So not too sure when or how the family made contact with each other.

Many thanks to all. 

Most of your suggestions I have tried.  Just trying to get some fresh input into this family  :)

According to the grandchildren, Lucy was interred with George.  They claim that they visited the gravesite.  They have also mentioned them going under different names.  But I found the death certificate of George under his correct name.

The cemetery where he is supposed to be buried, has no record of his burial or of any Lucy being with a THOMAS.

I was hoping that maybe they had extended the time frames with BDM and they might appear  ::)

I will just keep on looking for them

Thank you all

Thank you Chris.  I will certainly give it a try, especially as I only recently had some luck with trial records in Norfolk.  Just need to know who to ask.

Many thanks

Hi Christine

Many thanks for the info.

Will check it out.  

I have found out how unreliable death certificates were in the past, and have not put much credence in them.  But I have not confirmed the marriage - that is if they did  :o

The spouse he deserted remarried in 1941.

I do have the 1st marriage certificate, his death certificate does not mention the name of his 1st spouse only the 2nd, with no children mentioned either.  The death certificate does mention parents, barely - and yes they do match - with the miniumum of information.

Thank you for your time.

Mary QUILL married in TAS to Samuel MORRISON.  I haven't confirmed her death yet, but I think it is in TAS.

I have the death for a Helen & Blanche - both names associated with Ellen & Mary.  They seemed to interchange them on their children's births.

Hi everyone
I have had a wonderful time inspecting the results of your expertise.  And yes it has tempted my appetite to experiment a bit myself, with my own program, but that is a little bit later down the track.

Could someone please clean up my Grandmother and her family.  I can't wait to see how well it comes up.

Many thanks

Australia / George Joseph THOMAS m Lucy ? Where? Aus
« on: Tuesday 20 February 07 00:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone

I have been trying to find George Joseph THOMAS 2nd marriage (maybe) to Lucy ????? might be in QLD or VIC.

George disappeared from his 1st marriage sometime after the birth of his last child in 1911.  George died in Melbourne VIC and his death certificate states his 2nd marriage was in QLD, but the informant was a staff of the hospital.

George's grandchildren did visit him, in his later years, when they found him in VIC and he assumedly was married to a woman named Lucy.

So I am looking for any help in finding a marriage between 1911 & 1946 (his death).

Many thanks
