Oh WOW !!!

Thank you to all the wonderful people who have looked up this information for me.
I am particularly surprised to find that William was married prior to marrying Elsie.

I now have photos of the plaques at the cemetery and Death Notices....

It's just so amazing.... THANK YOU

Hi all,

I'm trying to fill some gaps in my Mum's birth mother's information.

Elsie Vera Winifred GRANT was b. 23 Oct 1905 at Somerville, Frankston, Victoria.
She had a liaison with Clive Richard GOLDSWORTHY and my Mum was the result.
The story is that Elsie tried to keep my Mum but just couldn't and ended up having her adopted out.  However, so saying that, Clive's mother, Harriet Kate GOLDSWORTHY (nee CROSS) came down from country Victoria and adopted her.  I have all that paperwork.

What I'm seeking is Electoral Roll/s information.

In 1935 she married William Ephraim James HEYWOOD and they had a son named James.
Another son, Kenneth Walter apparently died prior to 1962 from drowning -> possible in the Murray River.

I'm trying to find info on James and Kenneth.

Elsie passed away on 16 September 1962.

I have seen the following on Google...

but I don't have ancestry to connect with this person.

If anyone can help, I'd be greatly appreciative.

Hi Cando and Bitzar,

Cando,
I didn't know about Mary.  I don't have access to census records.
I've not searched Scotlands People and it's been years since I searched this family on familysearch.org.
Will have to go have another look now.

Bitzar,

I checked Chewton Cemetery online.  There is no pic of a headstone.  Maybe she didn't have one in the first place.

Thanks to you both.
The thot plickens and I hope I can find something somewhere.

Hoping someone can help me.

According to information given to me years ago by my cousin (all stuff is packed so can't check)....
Isobell Baxter was born in Scotland and married George Downey EDMONDSON.

She apparently died in Forest Creek (which is now Castlemaine area) and I can't find her burial.

I've also looked on Vic BDM's and can't find her death.  It supposedly happened 8 June 1852.

Nothing in Trove either.

Hoping to go one more step back on her line.

If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

To Everyone that has helped me.

I got the information from my cousin.
I do apologise as the birth date, it was actually his baptism date.

Thank you

Jackie
