Kath Selina Chrystie ( born Melb W)m Hy Douglas HALL 1906 Victoria and died 1924 Heathcote
and
By Catherine Selina Hall's death  she was 48 years old so  gives a birth year of 1878

I think that should be born c1876 and that is two years before the marriage of Alexander and Ellen Darcy TAPLEY  in 1878.

I found this marriage


CHRYSTIE Alexander to  TAPLEY  Ellen DArcy
1878  Registration Number  2734
It states on the index that he was born in Jamaica and she was born Devon.

Terra



Thanks Terra.......and troods
Now that's interesting.  I think I found Alexanders family (not him) on 1871 census and a sister
Catherine was born in Jamaica.

Raylen

I wonder if Ellen was correct with her place of birth on the marriage reg...

TAPLEY Ellen Darcy
Father John Cowell  Mother Ellen DARCY
At Prahran   1860   Reg# 18526
Death Place:

Cheers

By  her death  she was born 1839c

"Evelyn Chrystie died aged 62 in1901 at Box Hill reg no 12704
father Chrystie Darcy  mother unknown"

assuming it is  the correct death  which it does seem to be given  the vicinty and her age etc

Jenn do you think that Ellen Darcy TAPLEY and the death for Evelyn CHRYSTIE are for the same person?

Had a quick search on free bdm for Ellen TAPLEY b. between 1838 and 1860...none in Devon.
Births 1838
TAPLEY    Ellen Sparkes     London 2/139    
Births Dec 1843 
TAPLEY    Ellen    Bridge 5/40    
Births Jun 1851   
TAPLEY    Ellen    Dudley 18/372

I guess some certs are needed.

in my own opinion  I  think  the death  could be correct  but  don't know about the marriage

Walter William Chrytie's death also  has mothe as Evelyn Darcy

Think I may have solved the Ellen/Evelyn puzzle.

I will list the following regs and it should be self explanatory

Births
TAPLEY Ellen Darcy
Father John Cowell  Mother Ellen DARCY
At Prahran   1860  Reg#18526
 
TAPLEY Herbert John Cowell
Father John Cowell  Mother Ellen DARCY
At  Hotham  1863  Reg#9273

TAPLEY William Herbert
Father John Cowell  Mother Ellen DARCY
At Williamstown   1865   Reg#12334


Deaths

TAPLEY Ellen Darcy
Father John Cowl  Mother Eveline DARCY
10 years   1870   Born Prahran   Reg#8999

TAPLEY
Herbert John Cowl
Father John Cowl Mother Eveline DARCY
7 years  Born Prahran   1870  Reg 9000

There is this death but it is the year following Ellen Darcy/Eveline marriage to Alexander CHRYSTIE :-\ :-\ 

Death
TAPLEY John
Father John Taylor  Mother Harriet WOOLCOCK
59 years  Born Kent   1879  Reg#1228

However there are two John TAPLEY's on the indexes, and one has Cowell as a 2nd given name.  This could be the John TAPLEY's [whose death is above], marriage reg

TAPLEY
John
BANKS Caroline
1852   Reg#3740
Denomination Methodist/Wesleyan  Parish Melbourne  Fiche 897

Added later
Found this marriage on free bdm

Marriages Jun 1856 
TAPLEY    John Cowell    Newton Abbot    5b/287
D'ARCY    Ellen       Newton Abbott    5b/287
    
Cheers

On the ANL's beta digital newspapers site http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home there are some notices in The Argus (Melbourne paper)

Death notice, published 12 Jan 1923 for what looks like Alethea's brother:

TUCK - On 11 January 1923, at the residence of his sister (Mrs Chrystie) Cottage St Blackburn, Charles Tuck.......etc.  It goes on to say Charles is aged 67 and his parents "Jane and the late Jack" are "of Moorabin"  

Thanks notice published 23 December 1916
Mrs Chrystie and daughter thanking people for attending funeral and cards etc.  Address given I think is "Balchrystie, Blackburn"
I assume this is for Alexander's death, but definitely only says 'daughter'  no name given, but not 'daughters'

13 Sep 1945 List of prisoners of War from Siam has
CHRYSTIE R V., Sig, Coburg, Sigs

May be of some use to you. Judith
