As for getting articles from the Sydney papers not sure how to proceed with that. Again sorry if you feel I am being obstructive.

Hello  there John

If  it  is  not to intrusive  can  you  tell  us  where abouts you  live so  we can tell you  where to  find  records

kind regards Jenn

I ... will sit down a little later and  type every single detail on certs I have. ... John

Great!

John, I'm sure nobody feels that you are being in the least "obstructive" and there is certainly no need at all for you to feel "chastised".  If 'sins' there are, they are those of omission not of commission.  It really does help RootsChatters to help you if you provide all the information you have.

For instance, back in reply #9 I asked for certificate details and you kindly supplied them very promptly in reply #10; but later, in reply #34, you suddenly mentioned that George snr's dc stated that he had been in NSW for 50 years - an interesting, and possibly important, detail which hadn't been mentioned in reply #10.  Also not mentioned in reply #10 were burial details from death certs, nor were they provided in response to subsequent requests ...

A couple of other requests I've made (still outstanding) are
- George jnr's address in the 1914 electoral roll (you said in reply #5  that you had this entry but I don't think you've mentioned the address)
- info on census entries for Anne (MURCH) HOOD - you said in reply #16 that you had her in 1881/1891/1901.

I've found her in 1861/1871/1881 but not subsequently.
As I said earlier, in 1861 George HOOD Stonemerchant, 27, b Bolton Lancashire; wife Ann 36 b Axminster Devon; and two NZ-born MURCH children (Philip10 & Mary E 5) were in Hammersmith London.
In 1871, in Harlington Middlesex, we find Annie HOOD, wife, married, 47, a Schoolmistress b Axminster and her daughter Mary Elizabeth MURCH, 15, b Plymouth NZ.  Philip MURCH is elsewhere in the household of a Civil Engineer.
In 1881 Ann HOOD, mother-in-law, 60, b Axminster, is in Stoke Damerel Devon in the household of William W CHILCOTT, 32, b Portsmouth, Chief Engineer RN and his wife Mary E 25 b NZ.  Philip MURCH, a 30 yo Asst Civil Engineer b NZ is lodging in Portsea; in 1891 he's a Civil Engineer living in Portsmouth.
Mary E CHILCOTT seems to have died in 1889.
I didn't find Ann HOOD after 1881 and wondered if she might have died (there is a possible entry).

Best regards,

JAP

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.     

Just a random thought -

John have you considered that George b. 1890 may have been not the natural born child of George and Jane GOLDING.  George Jnr's father may have been a boiler maker and mother Jane SAMSON or LOWE.

Firstly some answers.

JAP
I am so sorry I only have Anne Hood on the 1861/71/81 census. It is Philip her son I have on the 1891/1901 census. The address on the 1914/15 electoral reg for George Junior is 12 Glen Street, Marrickville-Wood Machinist.This address appears to be the next street on from View Street the address given by George Jun on the George Sen death cert. Also Ada Ethel Hood-home duties is with him.

Cando,
I live in Ulverston Cumbria UK. There are a couple of things I am struggling with in all this. The sands directory you have all mentioned records Goerge Sen as being in Princes Street/Ave, Granville between 1903-1916. These records only give names, no ages or occupations,is that correct? Are there electoral reg for the period 1903-16 that cover this time frame. The reason for asking is that if these two George's are linked then George Jun may appear with George Sen around the 1910-13 period. As I mentioned in a previous posting I would like to search for newspaper details but am totally unsure of where to start on this from this end.

One final question, am I allowed to paste copies of the 4 certs I have on the postings or will I contravine any copyrights.

Sands Directories for the period in NSW give no ages or occupations - more like a postal directory.  There are electoral rolls for each year since Federation but I only have access to a disk for NSW for 1903 and online for 1930 and 1936.  I am wondering how you accessed the 1914/1915 electoral rolls for George Jnr as noted in your last post.

'One final question, am I allowed to paste copies of the 4 certs I have on the postings or will I contravine any copyrights.'

Hi John,
In short, yes, a copy and paste will contravene.  the reasons are complex. There are items on the RC board which will explain the ins and outs of it all. where I cannot.

It seems, therefore, that the only way you can let us see the details of the certificates is to either Personal Message them in entirety to a number of interested Chatters or to type out the items one by one on the board.

Anne's MURCH daughter seems to have died in 1889.
From FreeBMD:
CHILCOTT Mary Elizabeth, age 32, d Mar qtr 1889, Stoke Damerel, Devon, Vol 5b page 245

The following looks a likely death for Anne herself (remember, her MURCH son Philip was living in Portsea in 1881 and was still in the district - Portsmouth - in 1891):
From FreeBMD:
Ann HOOD, age 69, d Mar qtr 1889, Portsea, Hampshire, Vol 2b, page 318

Unfortunately, that doesn't progress us any further with finding proof that George snr and the George who m Anne MURCH are one and the same

Cando , Jap,
The info about the 1914/15 electoral reg came from an enquiry to the state library. I have written to them again to see if the two Georges appear together in George seniors home at Princes street between 1909-1913 when George would have been approx 21. I will let you know answer if received.
JAP, Thanks for info on Anne and her death-good research.

CANDO, I too am beginning to think that George Jun may well have been an adopted son and taken the name Hood-time will tell.
Be in touch soon.

John
