GARDAM Robert - KING Maud Tasmania Marriage look up

[suemartin]

Hello,
I have traced a great Aunt, Maud King to Tasmania married to a Robert John Gardam. They were married before 1914 as I have electoral records of her as Maud Gardam nothing in Australia  as Maud King.

She was born in Darjeeling on 20th February 1884. Her parents were Ada Golding and Thomas H King. She had 2 sisters; Edith Lillian King b. 1891 Bareilly India, my grandmother and another Hilda Clare King b. 1892 Nowgong, India, whom I cant find anything on at all...
I dont know if the father died in India or if they all came out together to Australia. I cant find a death for him.

The Gardam's are a Tasmanian family but Robert and Maud ended up in Victoria sometime in between 1914 ands 1924. Anyway Im hoping someone may find something for me....

thanks
Sue

Looks as though there may be a report of their son's wedding in The Argus, Thursday 15 September 1938? (Stony Creek is about 30k from Leongatha)

Yes, it is!  The death notice for Robert John GARDAM is in The Argus, Monday 12 November 1945. showing the 9 children and one of them is the bridegroom above.

Any of the birth certificates of children born in Victoria will show the date and place of their marriage.

wow thats awesome. I have some of this but dates are great thanks so much...

I thought that perhaps Robert may have been married before as there are so many kids and some of them stayed in Tassie when the rest of the family moved to Stony Creek in Victoria.
Perhaps they were married in Victoria?

The thing is I never knew my Nanna had sisters I dont think even my mother knew that. Its just so weird. There must have been a big falling out somewhere Im guessing...  My Nanna Edith King married in Victoria in 1912.

Just trying to work out what age they must have been when they came to Australia. I suspect Thomas King may have died in India as there is no record of him after 1900. Unless they came here but I have searched logs etc and can find no Thomas King or Ada King.  I found a departure from Hobart  and arrival in Victoria on the Moeraki for Edith L King in March 1912 so thats got to be Nanna. Would people come out from India and go to Hobart? I would have thought that they would land in Melbourne first.

Anyway I really appreciate your help thanks so much...
