Ellery or Glendenning Families N.Q.Ravenwood/Townsville Area

[sparrett]

Hi Mama,
I hope by now you have worked out the Naa site.  Cazay, I am sure will agree, it is a bit tricky.  It seems to use unfamiliar government jargon to 'assist' your navigation.

Just in case you have not yet looked for yourself, here is the most interesting  results from the  Edward Feltham search.  The name Hannah may be significant

Feltham, Edward James. Service number 10331. Date of birth 13/8/1899, Place of birth unknown, Place of enlistment, unknown Next of kin Hannah.
 Not much to go on!
Good luck, Sue

The following two would be part of my "tribe" cousins to my father

Thomas Henry Ellery born Charters Towers, enlisted Townsville, Next of kin John Ellery (this entry is digitised and you can read through it)

John Ellery Q130211, born 23 May 1901 Ravenswood, enlisted Townsville, Next of kin Maud Glendenning

Regarding Edward James Feltham, there was a "Ted" Feltham, Son of Arthur and Amy (Hauer)Feltham  who are buried in the Ravenswood Cemetary but he was not a relative of Hannah Malpass although he was a cousin to my father.  But I will follow that up.
Thanks for your help.

Are you trying to contact current day relatives or just looking for names and dates from QLD indexes?

I would just like to know what happened to them and yes if I could trace some living relatives that would be a bonus.
I am trying to find out when Hannah Malpass died and if Caroline (Lena) was  a Glendenning or Ellery and when she died.  I have a marriage photo of the wedding of Maud and Bob with my mother as bridesmaid and she looks about 19/20 years which would make it about 1927/28. Maud was the niece of my Grandmother Louisa.  Louisa,Hannah, Caroline and Ellen (the youngest) seemed to be good friends as I have a few photos of them together.  I knew Ellen as she lived with my grandmother and probably died about 1944.  She had no children.  Once you start a family tree it's hard not to see it out!  If I found any living relatives who were interested I would be happy to share what I have found out and the photos with them.
Thankyou,
Mama

Cazay,
Thanks for these sites. They were excellent and I found quite a few names (not Malpass,Glendenning or Ellery though) but other family members.

Hi Mama

Sometimes surnames are mispelt and misread, the NAA site had C instead of G but thought it was a match anyway.

I would say the name was mispelt or misread, NAA had C instead of G but still looked like a match.
