Australia Lookups completed / Look-up - NSW Births 1910-1918 - COMPLETED

Hello,

If a kind person has access to the NSW Births 1910 – 1918, are you able to do a look-up for me please?  :)

I'm looking for children of Robert James CROOK and Edith May WYATT. 
I have the birth cert for their first child, Ruby Edith CROOK b. 1909.
I also have the marriage cert for another child, Robert Bertram CROOK where I have calculated his dob as 1913.

Robert James CROOK married twice and his second wife was the informant on his death cert.  His first marriage and the children of that marriage are not recorded on his death cert.  There were no children from his second marriage.

My research for a death cert for Edith May WYATT has been fruitless to date  :(

Many thanks,

Jenster

Have you considered two marriages of a Gwendoline WILSON in NSW, post 1943?

19731/1960  BAKER  JOHN RICHARD  WILSON  GWENDOLINE 

2628/1947  KENT  LEONARD WILLIAM  WILSON  GWENDOLINE 

Dawn M

The chances are very likely that Gwendoline WILSON did marry for a second time, but locating when and where eludes me at the moment.  It could have been in NSW, QLD, or Tasmania, as she had relatives in each state.  I thought I would follow the QLD trail as that is the last electoral roll entry I have for her.

I've contacted living descendents of her siblings and none have any recollections of family discussions of her.

Thank you for the suggestions above; over the weekend I checked Ryerson for their death notices and both individuals appear to be the wrong age at date of death.

Cheers, Jenny

Hi mum mum,

I know of no Sth Aust family connection.  I think you are looking at a tree on Ancestry which belongs to someone else.

There are several occurrences of Norman Victor HANSON; I know of another from Victoria born about the same time, who also served in WW1.

Cheers, Jenny.

Hi mum mum,

Her father, Norman Victor HANSON, died during WW1 in Belgium.
Her mother, Bona Vera WYATT, died in 1920 in Sydney NSW.

Cheers, Jenny.

She was listed as WILSON after the divorce.

Is anyone able to assist with a Queensland Electoral Roll look-up please  :)

Gwendoline Vera WILSON (born HANSON)

I already have the following electoral roll information sourced via Ancestry.

1930 and 1933 - "Vererna" Dennis Street, Lakemba NSW - h.d. (residing with husband)
1936 - 27A Hall Street, Bondi NSW - h.d.
1943 - Ralston Street, Wilston QLD - Saleswoman

Some background information.
Birth:  7 June 1907, Lady Bowen Hospital, Brisbane QLD
Marriage: 31 December 1927, St David's Church, Arncliffe NSW
Spouse: Ernest Reginald WILSON

Ernest Reginald WILSON re-married 4 April 1951 at Sydney NSW (spouse Lavenia SMITH)
This marriage cert shows Ernest as the "Divorced Petitioner"

Ernest died 18 September 1967 at Murwillumbah NSW
His death cert shows there was "No Issue" from his marriage to Gwendoline Vera WILSON (born HANSON)

Many thanks,
Jenny

Hi JM,

You have provided some really good advice for me to ponder, thank you  :)

Both children were married in Wollongong.  And going back through certificates I notice the d.c. for Edith's mother says "Late of Wollongong" - something I had missed earlier :(

I need to go back to NSW State Library to check Wollongong electoral rolls.  The reference section of the SL has been closed for renovation, but reopens next week.  :D

I will also research the naturalised Charles Crook to see if there is a family connection.

Thanks once again to everyone who responded, you have provided some very good tips for me to follow-up.

Cheers, Jenny.

This is on page 19 of 27 in the war record, so Edith is alive and living in Redfern in 1940.
>>This address refers to nok and address at time of enlistment, which was Oct 1916 and the address is correct for that year.

Which one died first - Robert James or Dawn?
>>Robert James died first with Dawn as the informant.  The place of birth for Robert is correct on his d.c.  Place of marriage is shown as Sweden.  Previous marriage and children are not listed on Robert's d.c.

What are names for Dawn's parents.?
>>Unknown

It is just not possible that Robert James Crook could travel from Australia to Sweden at the height of WW11, marry and return to Australia.
>>Totally agree.
