Thank you matthewj64 and Jamjar for your information.

Hi cando,

As usual, your suggestion is probably correct that she died before civil registration began.  I haven't got the death certificates of the parents as Emma is just a distant "twig" on my tree who has had me baffled for a while.
Thanks for the baptism record.

Thanks again for the helpful information.

P.S.
It's Ronald Albury MAGGS, not Russell.

   Oops.  Have amended.

Thanks for the extra information.  It all helps fill in the bigger picture.

 Hi all,

Looking for some help please.


Elvie Mary Irene Maggs   born c1921. 
Father: Robert Thomas Maggs Mother: Edith Ellen BRITNELL

She married Thomas Cooper Thomas 1938 in Victoria
He died  October 1951 in Victoria. Can’t find any death notices for him.

In Elvie’s brother’s death notice 18/4/1945 she is named as Mrs. Anderson
Victorian Electoral Roll
Name: Elvie Mary Irene Anderson
Residence: 1943 - city, Gippsland, Victoria, Australia
Is there anyone else with her at this address?

She married Russell Ronald Albury Maggs 1946 in Victoria. Her maiden name was given as Maggs
He died 20/3/1960

Elvie died as Elvie Mary Irene McDonald 4/2/1969.
I used the “Ask a Librarian” feature for the State Library and got a fantastic response.
They provided all the death and funeral notices that were published.
It lists all her children, but given they may still be alive, I won’t name them.  What I’m trying to find out is, who fathered the children.
There is one male named   J* married to L* ,   and 4 girls.
A* married to C*,      N* married to S*,    N* married to R*,    and G* who is the daughter
of Russell Maggs, engaged to L*

Elvie is only a distant "twig" on my tree, so I'm reluctant to get a certificate at this stage but I'm intrigued by her life.

Any help with this would be appreciated and please remove this post if I have breached any privacy rules.

Thanks,
Raylen

I am looking for some help to see if I can find out what happened to
HARRIETT ARNOLD born c1850 Kent, England.
Father:  Henry Arnold ,  Mother: Caroline Warman.

I have Henry, Caroline and Harriet arriving in Australia on “Lady Flora” 1851 with Henry’s
parents,  William Burville Arnold and Hannah Tucker, and all 10 of Henry’s siblings. 
* I haven't seen the original passenger list, only transcribed copy.

I can account for everyone else but Harriet.
Harriet is not mentioned in either of her parent's death notices and I can’t see a marriage or death for her. 
Appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks

Raylen

Elizabeth Johanna (Fraser) Hansen. b. 1870. Elizabeth married Knud Erasmus Hansen.
Their parents: Thomas Fraser and Catherine (Campbell) Fraser.

In 1892 They were in Broken Hill.

Barrier Miner (Broken Hill, NSW : 1888 - 1954), Thursday 28 January 1892, page 3
An Exacting Husband.
KNUD ERASMUS HANSEN, pleaded not guilty this morning to a charge of having assaulted his better half, Elizabeth Joanna. According to the evidence of the wife, Knud Erasmus came home on Sunday, and, after having his dinner served up to him, insisted on her standing behind his chair and keeping the flies off the food. This she refused to do, and Erasmus proceeded to chastise her for this disobedience by seizing her by the throat and throwing her on the floor. She then went to the house of defendant's mother and remained there during the night. The defendant denied having treated his wife roughly, and stated that she had scores of times refused to keep the flies from his food while he was eating. The bench found accused guilty and decided to issue an order prohibiting all publicans from supplying defendant with liquor. For the assault a sentence of seven days imprisonment was inflicted.

Not seeing a death for her at the moment.
