Kathleen Marie Rose HEATH

[bertoli22]

Hi, I'm trying to find a death record Kathleen Marie Rose HEATH my grandmother's first daughter from her first marriage. She is a bit of a mystery lady.

Kathleen Marie Rose - known as Marie- was born 15 Jan 1910 in NSW, daughter of Eleanor Veronica Heath (nee Perrin) and John Heath.

Marie's father John Heath died in 1911.  Her mother Eleanor remarried in 1914 to Charles Bains

Marie married Noel Moate in Marrickville NSW in 1929 - she was using the name Heath at the time.
She had three daughters (living), all still in NSW

Marie left her husband and children and lived with  Percy  Honeysett (who also left his wife and children).  Percy Honeysett died in Queensland in 1959 he is buried in Lutwyche Cemetery, Brisbane.   His wife  (?Marie) is believed to have died before him. 
Marie and Noel did not divorce and she did not contact her children after she left. Percy Honeysett's first wife  died in Hornsby in 1963.

I have searched the NSW BDM for Marie as well as online cemetery records but no luck.

Marie may have used these names: Heath, Moate, Bains or Honeysett.

I would love to be able to find out where Marie is buried as one of her daughters wants to end the search and visit her grave before she herself dies.

Any ideas as to where else I can look?  Any help, tips etc will be wonderful.

hello  there

Now  this is a bit difficult 
looks  like  he is buried  in  the Anzac  cemetery so  would be unlikely  she is in  with  him  and  it does indeed  not show anyone buried with him

what  about  tracing  the Honeysett side of  things  perhaps  his children  may be able to throw some light on  it for  you

other  than  that you  might  have  to search  the microfilms in  qld for her deaths

Hi Jenn
Thanks for that - I will probably have to check the film.  The Honeysett/Moate departure/ split was quite acrimonious and i don't think that Percy kept in touch with his family either (apparently he staged his death so he wouldn't have to tell anyone)

In the past Marie's daughters tried to locate her via the Red Cross etc but no luck.  i've been through every online database possible.

Hi,
The digitised NAA record for Percy Albert Honeysett is not very enlightening...other than to show that he was a good deal older than her
If it is the same man, was a rabbiter when he enlisted in 1915 aged 18!!!
I could not see that he was an Anzac in that recrd.  I'll look again now

Did Percy and Marie have children together? because these would be the ones most likely to be in contact with their mother when she died.

You could also look at newspaper death notices for Percy to see if there is any indication that Marie is still alive or if there are children.  Or purchase the death certificate, which will only be as good as the knowledge of the informant.

Hi Christine and Sue
Percy is the Percy Albert  in the NAA records and was older than Marie- as was her husband..
 When Percy died he was supposed to have been identified by his ANZAC medals etc.   I don't think that they had any children but don't really know.

It appears that he proceeded overseas to France when he left Australia.  An ANZAC is a soldier of Australia or New Zealand, and does not only apply to those who were at Gallipoli.

I'm checking on Honeysetts in Ryerson as we speak

[bertoli22]

Does anyone know if there is an online Qld obit index?  Ryerson doesn't seem to have  qld entries- at least  not for honeysett . 

To view the obits in the papers would i have to order the microfilm through the state library? (i'm in WA)?

I haven't done any research in Qld  so don't really know my way around.
