Vic Death lookup please? - 1902 to 1914

[ChristineR]

Hello there,

I am looking for the death of Matthew DWYER in the Great War Index please?
His son stated that he had died when he enlist 1915, I have checked 1914 and up to 1901.

If he is my Matthew then his parents should be Patrick Dwyer and Ann Lynch,
and he was born abt 1855, probably at Kilmore.  I couldn't find his birth reg, but his age is on his father's death certificate, and the Kilmore came from the Marriage index. 

Thanks
Christine

Many thanks Trish and Jenn,

I posted, not realising it was so close to bedtime - which I have to have a bit earlier, because I am actually working a bit harder than normal 

I didn't have James death thanks - I only just discovered this branch of the family.  I hadn't realised that another brother had emigrated from Tipperary too, so tracking them down.

Jenn, did the Matthew death have a place?  They seemed to be in the Rushworth area later on.   That Matthew is pretty well the right age.  Only the certificate will tell.

Trish, the first Matthew died, though his burial isn't registered so I presume it was before reg started, and they were in the backblocks somewhere!  The two of them are listed on the death cert, sorry should have mentioned that.

Many thanks
Christine

Hello  there Christine

sorry  bout  that left the death  off both  of  them

Matthew  was at Melb E

James at Rworth


also  the certificate  may  not  be of  much  help  to  you  as  he doesn't  have parents  listed
regards jenn

Hi Christine

As both James & Mary DWYER (DWIRE), Matthew's brother & sister were christened at the Roman Catholic Church at Kilmore, there is a fair chance Matthew was too.

I wonder if the local historical group has indexed the Church records?

hello

Iknow  dwire  runs  thru  dfence


couldn't  resist  excuse  my  rather  awful joke  for  today

but  was  feeling  rather  happy  cos  I  just  unearthed
by ggp names  It  is  amazing what  happens  when  you  phone  there was  no  parents  names  on  their  marriage  in 1888  which  after reading stuff  wasn't  necessarily transferred  but  the church  wasn't  there  any  more now  a  hall  so  asked the Cootmundra  council  if  there was another RC church  in  coota  yes  gave  me the  number  i  rang  and  asked  what  happened to  St.Columbus Church  records  lovely lady  said  we  have them  and  what  can  I  help  you with  dear so  told  her  the tale  waited  a  couple  of  minutes  she  came back  and  said  of  yes  parents  are  here  which  was bloody  marvelous  cause  her  name  was Hennessey and toobesure an awful  lot  of Hennessey in  the bmd  so  happy  little vegemit  no  chance of  finding  the  birth  in ireland  but who  know?

regards Jenn

Glad to hear of your good news Jenn   

The death certificate would tell me if he is the Matthew that married Janet Stewart.  But I think I will go for the marriage first - if he is not my Matthew who married her, then I do not care any further about the Rushworth ones!!
But, as pointed out by Trish, the others were baptized Kilmore so a fair chance he belongs - but there were some other Dwyers there too, which may well be my rellies too.  So perhaps I will try the death first after all 

Trish, thanks for the hint - I went off and checked the Kilmore Historical Society holdings - and they have "Christ Church Kilmore Parish Archives (CD-Rom)"  but might not be the RC Church!

thanks again, cheers
Christine

Hi All
Jenn, you've had a great day!  Happy about that for you.

I am beginnning to see that as the interest in Genie studies
 expands, more and more info is becoming available and, as in Jenn's case, these old and valuable records are being preserved and passed on freely [I mean that in all senses]

If we just keep digging we might all have Jenn's good news.
