Edgar Jerome HENDERSON in WA?

[Lilygirl]

Hi

Am wanting to find out when/how Edith Mary Beecroft nee Clegg came to Australia.

I know she married in 1925 Edgar Jerome Henderson but don't know where (would assume might be WA) so maybe can find their marriage details too if possible.

She was in England in 1912 when her husband died at sea as a ships doctor. Article in newspaper on his death mentions him leaving a wife and child in England.
She had a daughter Ruth Beecroft born in  1907 and  daughter Margaret Rebecca Beecroft born in 1909 both in Hyde, Cheshire that would have come with her.


She was living and I assume died in Western Australia

Hi Lilygirl,

Edgar Kerome Henderson died in 1928 aged 67 and is buried in Karrakatta Cemetery in Perth.  There is no sign of Edith so she may have remarried.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for that.
I don't think that's her death but sure if him.
I have a feeling she remarried but not sure why I'm feeling that way?? Will have to hunt further.

It's funny Edgar was an architect, her father was also back in England! wonder if there's some connection there or just coincidence.

Thanks again,
Lilygirl.

HI,
I see also on the mcb site [listed above by Ros and Bob] that Ruth Ball, dies 1979 aged 72 is at Karrakatta too.  Last address Maylands.
Also there is her husband, George Richard who shares her grave .
There is also shown a George Ahtol BEECROFT Ball died 1995 aged 64 .He is from Leederville.  Age, name etc. suggest son of Ruth and George.
Can't find Margaret.

This is part of information I got when I googled Edgar's name

"Congregational Hall has a close association with H. S. Trigg, grandson of the founder of the Congregational Church in Western Australia.  Congregational Church has a close association with the architect Edgar Jerome Henderson (Criterion 2.3)

In 1906, the size of the congregation had grown to the extent that a Church could be built next door.  Congregational Church was built, in 1906, to a design by E. J. Henderson, and expresses Art Nouveau influences in its stained glass windows. 

Edgar Jerome Henderson was born in Melbourne, and practised in Victoria where he did some church work:  Sale Cathedral (1885) and housing in Moonee Ponds and Essendon.  By 1896 he had moved to Western Australia and was working on the Convent School, Highgate (1898) in a partnership style Jefferies and Henderson.  By 1904, he is listed in his own practice and designing various commercial and residential buildings"

On National Archives website that Magoo gave is an Edgar Henderson Architect, listed as one of seven Western Australians receiving New Years Honours ( 31 December 1960)

Another relative perhaps.......

Do have to wonder if Edgar architect was son of my Edgar maybe from previous marriage who knows, but I'm sure I will find out eventually with more digging!
Thanks again,

Ciao for now
