Albert Smith & Nellie Butcher

Lones I wonder where Albert was buried as I have searched the Parkes Shire Burial register and no Albert

Now to have found his grave would have rounded off the info nicely.

I think you have all done brilliantly as it is.  I cannot believe how much more info I have now.  Thank you very, very much.  I shall buy a couple of the certs and see what else I can find from them

Thank you all, you have made my day.  If I find a photo of Albert and Nellies marraige in the trunk, i shall post it so you can see them too, just for interests sake

a very happy Lones

Thank you again Cando 

This really could be him  , I shall contact them to see how much they charge for a copy of the obituary.  It should list his parents and children, this could be a real lead for me in finding the living relatives.  Thank you very much.  I shall let you know how I get on with it

Cheers again, wonderful stuff

Hello  there Lones

the Ryerson  doesn't charge  persay  they  do  urge  folk  to  make a  donation, you  just  have to register  and  then  post  your request  and wait to see if some kind soul  does  the  lookup  for  you.  However be warned  you  will  get  replies  to all  postings  that is  how  their system  works,  I  use a  separate email addy  for  them  otherwise  my  main  one gets too much  mail  every day. 

regards Jenn

[Lones]

Thanks for the info Jenn

I haven't heard of them before, but will take your suggestion and register and donate.  I only have one email address at home, so not much choice there...

Thank you

And finally

Australian Electoral Rolls
NSW Commonwealth - Calare
NSW State - Lachlan
Sub district - Trundle

1930
SMITH Albert  Gillinbine Farmer
SMITH Helen Eleanor  Gillinbine   HD
1936
SMITH Albert Hillsdale  Trundle   Farmer
SMITH Helen Eleanor   Gillinbine  HD

Perhaps Albert had to alter or re-register and am wondering if this is possibly the name of their property.

I also wondered if perhaps Albert was buried at Trundle - it is probably in the PARKES district for NSW bdm's.  Just a thought.  Forbes FHS have burial records for the Trundle cemetery.

Cheers
cando...who must do some work...proper work

Hi Cando

I didn't see the rest of your message before, so both son's are dead too.  That is sad, I was hoping one would still be around.  I shall follow up what i can and see if the obit brings new names and relatives

Thank you

Lones

Just caught your last post, thank you again.  I noticed that Albert and Nellie weren't on the electrol at Chillingollah in 1931 so they must have moved around then to NSW.  I will contact the FHS in FOrbes and see if they can helpo me

Cheers for all this info.  I shall get writers cramp putting in all in my records, there is so much of it....    Thank you both heaps

Lones
