[judb]

I checked back to Dec 7 but no death notice for this chap only a funeral notice which tells nothing ....
SMH December 10, 1940
Funeral of Thomas Patrick Hennessy from Labor Motor Funerals 24 Enmore Rd, Newtown at 9.45am for the Catholic Cemetery, Rookwood.
Nothing in the Telegraph either 

No notices at all for the 1926 chap.

Sorry - no help at all.

Hi all

The Nat Lib has films of the Coota local paper I noticed yesterday, from the 1880s on, I think.  Shall I have a look for Margaret Hennessy 1944?  And are there any other dates I could try for anyone else? I haven't used the Coota paper before so have no idea of the content but most of those old papers have good information. 

Will be at the lib probably on Friday.

Jude, are you able to check  the Coota papers for perhaps a death or funeral  for Thomas Patrick Hennessy 10/12/1940  to see if it might be  the right Thomas?
