Vic Death Lookups - Earl

[Raylen]

on  the 1903 and 1909 Electoral Roll
Selina Earl Home Duties is living at the same address in Maryborough  Alma Street
as Maud Earl Sales woman

Jenn

On the  1903 electoral roll it looks like Edward? Earl  Grocer? is living in Alma Street too
 ( Very hard to read )
Possibly Selinas son?

Can any other eyes see this any clearer?

Also 1903 electoral roll
Percy Fairbank - painter     living with his brother
Charles Edward Fairbank - baker
High Street,Maryborough

Thanks Guys for that overwhelming amount of imformation. My father is coming to visit next weekend, so I will try and sort out all this and present him with some interesting facts. Hopefully together we will work it out.

Will let everyone know what the outcome is.

Hi,

Hope I am not wearing out my help here, but I have digested the info, and have a couple of questions.

(1) Mary Anne Fairbank (Thomasine Earl's daughter) didn't get married until 1905, is she listed on the 1903 electrol role - she would have been 19?

(2) Still not sure who the 3 youngest lived with. Although Seline Earl lived till 1927, her husband, William Henry Earl died in 1885. That would have been before Thomasine had died (1888) and left the kids.

If Richard Earl raised them, then I have some inconsistencies with his wife. I have some pictures of their graves and it states his wife as Gerturde Elizabeth.
See attachments

(3) From the 1903 Electrol role a Edward Earl was  a grocer. Can anyone with BDM access confirm that this person could have been Selina's son?

Thanks so much

Clair

Genni - what can I say.

Thankyou SO MUCH for going to so much trouble to get me some very vital information. You have filled in so many gaps. I can not thank you enough, and I can not wait until Dad get all this information. He will be thrilled.

Did a little more checking, I hope this isn't going to get to confusing.

If anyone looked after the Fairbank children, I'd say it would be Selina Earl EARL nee ROBERTS.  She didn't die until 1927 in East Malvern Reg: 2205 Parents: William ROBERTS and Mary Ann EARL.

Mary Ann EARL married William ROBERTS Sept QTr 1837 Liskeard (William died somewhere between 1851 & 1858)
Mary Ann ROBERTS married Edward BENNETT June Qtr 1858 (Ref: 5a Page 589)

I think in the light of overwhelming evidence I agree. So I am surmising that Selina's mother, Mary Ann Earl, was probably Thomasine's aunt (sister to Edward Earl). SO Selina and Thomasine were cousins. Must have been close for her to look after the children.

Can anyone look up the 1841 census for Callington, Cornwall to find out if MAry Ann Earl was

Found the following death entry:-
Mary Ann BENNETT died Maryborough aged 71 1891 Reg: 6954 Parents: Richard EARL & Mary GIDDIE
Checking the "Western Ocean" passenger list, entry on same page as Thomasina.
Edward BENNETT 31
Mary  A BENNETT 38
Richard E BENNETT 16
Mary A BENNETT 13

I think this confirms that Mary Ann was Edward Earl's sister

Wow I think I am getting somewhere.

Hi Clair

We are obviously cousins via the Fairbank link.  It would be interesting to have a chat.
