Cando, there is no inscription for George Hood 1915, not on cd

There is a Jane Hood died 24/8/1931 67 yrs, she is the wife of a John Hood died 12/8/1923 (Insc' Husb in 63rd year)

Can't remember back over the post but wouldn't she be too young for a match

Hi Cazay,

That's a very good find.

I guess that rules out Jane HOOD who d 1931 - as this Jane Hood's husband was John and he died in 1923.

'Our' Jane HOOD's husband was George and he died in 1915.  The age would not have been a problem - 'our' Jane (ms GOLDING) married in 1887 and was of 'full age' at the time of her marriage.

I'm still tempted by Jane LOW who d 1945.

Cando,
Sorry if you feel I am not passing on enough certificate info. I only have George sen's marriage, death and George Junior's marriage and death. If I have missed anything that will help sorry and I will try harder. I cannot get details as Jap suggested of Roys birth as I have no access to these records. I did hear from Rookwood via e-mail today that both George's do not have headstones -so another loss. As for getting articles from the Sydney papers not sure how to proceed with that. Again sorry if you feel I am being obstructive.

John I became a tad frustrated that you didn't respond to two or more requests for George's place of burial which would have been detailed on his death certificate.  I found the burial on the Rookwood Independent website today.  All the details listed on certificates need to be listed otherwise it involves lots of searching. 

Back to basics John....what you need to know is -  are these George's related...ie father and son.  I am troubled by the occupation 'boilermaker' and the mother's maiden name on George Jnr's marriage cert in 1924.  Surely a 24 year old would know the occupation of his father and there is certainly a difference between a "painter" and boilermaker and the maiden name of is mother. 

Hopefully you can find an obit or two to help things along.

Cheers

Hi All,
I really hope no-one will mind my just totoally chipping in here as an interested watcher of this thread.

John, It would be REALLY helpful and a way of making  a summary of potentially useful facts if you would please.....
Type out the entire contents of the certificates you hold.

It has been suggested before and it would help in ways we may not see as obvious as yet.
Go for it!!

Interred in the grave adjacent to George Snr is a William Henry HOOD who died in 1908 aged 23 and from the bdm indexes had parents Henry and Ellen.

Interred in the same grave as George Snr is Eugene MARALIS [MORELUSS on the cemetery register]  who died in 1886 aged 14 months with parents Henry and Elizabeth.

Cando, and others
I feel fully chastised now and will sit down a little later and  type every single detail on certs I have. Your last listing was interesting. This William Henry Hood was William Henry Hawthorne Hood died aged 23 on 5.3.1908. I have his death cert as I thought he was a William I had lost who's parents were Henry Hood and Ellen Cawood. Not so, mother is Ellen Amelia Ashby. William was born in Hawthorne Victoria and had lived in NSW for 20 years.
