Australia / Re: Alfred Drury - where did he get to?
« on: Thursday 15 April 21 08:24 BST (UK)  »
Sorry, it is Albert Drury I am seeking, The Alfred is an error on my part. Thanks for picking that up.
No, it is Myrniong, a town near Bacchus Marsh in Vic. where he was born. Maribyrnong is a suburb of Melbourne.      Do the wedding certificates state if a parent is Deceased?  If so I would think the daughter's biographer would have picked that up, but may be worth a look.  Vera Grace, age 40, wed Cyril Frederick Jolliffe in 1942, the year her mother died, they lived at Yallourn.  Albert's wife died in 1942 as Elizabeth Drury, so she had not married again, there is no mention of Albert in her obit.
How she raised 2 young children is unknown.

Australia / Alfred Drury - where did he get to?
« on: Thursday 15 April 21 06:19 BST (UK)  »
We all love a mystery, but this one has me stumped.    Alfred Drury was born in Victoria in 1867 to John Drury and Elizabeth Lucy (Owen). He wed Elizabeth Evans in Vic in 1890.  They had 2 daughters: Ivy Evelyn Annie born 1896 at Malvern and Vera Grace born 1902 in Flemington.   Ivy married a Wedgwood and was a founding member of the Liberal Party.     I have all the info on them I need.  What I am seeking is: "Where did Alfred get to after 1907?"   He is in the papers as a farmer at various locations and he ended up running a Dairy in Brighton St Newmarket/Flemington.   In 1900 an Albert Davis was charged with threatening to Shoot Albert after Albert had sacked him.  Albert had been charged for having a cow loose in the street in Emerald Hill in 1900, and again for having Boric Acid in his milk in 1903.    Albert placed a Disclaimer in the paper in 1907 stating he was not the Albert Drury who had appeared in Court a few days previous.  This is the last I can find on him.    He was a beneficiary in his mother's will signed on 17th Oct 1907.     An Australian Parliament Biography, on Albert's daughter Ivy, states in part "...her father, a Farmer at the time of his marriage, ran a Dairy in Flemington, but he disappears from the public record after about 1908".     I would be grateful if anyone can throw some light on his disappearance.   All I have so far are theories.   ???

Thanks Hanes, Yes, this letter was identified in an old thread on this Family.  I have viewed not only the letter, which did not reveal a lot, but also there is a will or two online for some members of that family.   it has been an intriguing journey trying to marry up these Buckstons/Buxtons with my more recent Buxtons.    I have heard back from the Imperial War Museum, Memorial Div. and they intend to put the photo of T B's Memorial on the website.
Thank you all for your kind assistance.
Bob

Since my last post, I have received the permission I mentioned.   I have supplied a copy to IWM (Imperial war Museum) They had a transcription of the wording, but not a copy of the image.
Hopefully they will include the image on their website.  The Museum is currently closed due to Covid.
But hopefully someone is managing the website.
Cheers, Bob

Hi Traveller, Thank you for this, if it is on Facebook what conditions are placed on its use?    Since I posted my request on Rootschat, I have contacted the Church and the Warden has kindly sent me several Buxton headstone images and this Memorial.  I am currently awaiting on permission to use this one for non-commercial publication.
Thank you also Barryd. Its good to know who fought with him,,,,if one is not Scottish that is.

Derbyshire / Memorial for Capt. Thomas Buckston.

I am seeking a copy of an image of the Memorial for Capt T Buckston who fought at the battle of Culloden. He was in the 36th Regiment of Foot, R.N.    The memorial is on the West wall of the South aisle of the All Saints Church, Mill Lane, Bradbourne, Derbyshire Dales, Derbyshire.    A transcript of the inscription on the Memorial is online but no image of the Memorial.   Any help in achieving a copy would be appreciated.
Regards, Aussie Bob

Thanks Fizzy, I will keep that in mind but am not that involved with this family to worry too much about it..  I just thought some local tree or knowledge may have already connected these 2 lines.
As usual, you have all been very helpful and I appreciate it greatly.

Cheers, Bob
