William Selby BLAIR -death reg.Vic.

[tropicalj]

Interesting Sue  nothing  in Victoria to 1942  will check  further though and nothing in Qld to 1929

William Selby Blair seems to go back and forth  to Qld  by  the rolls....
William Selby Blair Male 1913 Queensland  electorate of Lilley Toombul
William Selby Blair Male 1914 Victoria                               Kooyong Hawthorn
William Selby Blair Male 1919 Queensland                       Lilley North Pine
William Selby Blair Male 1924, 1931, 1936  Victoria          Henty Sandringham


Can't even seem  to  find Matthew Blair on  the rolls.

Hi Sue,

I think the girls may be

Mary Charlotte Jun 1892 Chelmsford 4a 492

Jessie Hardie Mar 1897 Edmonton 3a 479

There is an earlier Jessie Hardie Jun 1891 Chelmsford 4a 497 - Dec 1892 Chelmsford aged 1 4a 231

There is a Mary Charlotte BLAIR in the Vic Electoral Rolls unmarried in 1936 at 305 Carlisle St St Kilda (clerk) a couple of previous for her

1914 Grafton St Elstonwick (Clerk)
1919 40 Charnwood Rd St Kilda (Clerk)
1931 305 Carlisle St (Clerk)

she is the only Blair present in each entry

It may help with marriage/deaths

Cheers Kris

I found a Jessie H Blair marrying in NSW to Robert Lewis Campbell GREAM

on  her death details on  the Ryerson  she had Haldane as a middle  name

Going  by  Kris's information  it  may rule her out,

Thank you Kris and Jenn.

The name Jessie Hardie Blair will be correct as this was the maiden name of her Grandmother [Matthew's mother]....married in Scot. 1863.

Wonder if Mathew Selby Blair went home to Eng.

Perhaps neither girl married after all.

Great help. Thanks.

MMmmm...
Think I have just found MATTHEW SELBY BLAIR's remarriage in Adelaide thanks to the NLA Newspaper site!!

He seems to have married in 1910 to Martha Ward at St Giles Church Norwood.
Perhaps SA is where I will find his death.
