Hi there,

Sorry I didn't realise you were in Townsville.  You propably have all the information I posted before.
I will propbaly get Margaret Fraser's death certificate I think it will be the only way to get some answers.

Hi this my first attempt at this so I hope get it right.
I am having trouble finding anything about her after the divorce as well. I am in touch with someone else who is also trying to find information about Adaliza and we have both hit a wall.

Hi Tulla, and welcome to RootsChat

The person you are in contact with is my new found cousin and we are working on this together.

She has told me about you, and thank you for sharing the information you found at the Archives regarding the Divorce with us.
Did the Divorce papers give the address of where they were living at the time of the Divorce please?

I live in the UK.

Hello Ambers

I will be going back to the QLD State Archives to check if there was an address on the divorce papers.
I read it all but didn't think to look for an address, I don't recall seeing one.
Thank you

I see that Margaret Stewart is buried with one of her sons Thomas Frazer/Fraser Stewart.

I am having troubling finding John Stewart death too many John Stewart's, do you have his death details at all?

I have searched the electoral rolls available to me  by using the Adaliza but very very few women with that name and none of them are her.


thanks Jenn

John Stewart senior died in Brisbane on 11/10/1906 . I have John's  little cardboard memorial plaque.
I don't have any solid evidence about his parents but when looking at the QBDM records I assume the parents are John Stewart & Susan Boyd as one of their daughters was named Susan.

Cheerio

Hi Jenn Thank you for that,

I have just this moment found his Funeral Notice in the Brisbane Courier 12 October 1906

Notice 1: Children mentioned. Thomas F  Stewart ,  John Stewart b1875, Archibald Stewart b1879, and James 1881.

Notice 2:  Miss M Stewart, Mrs. M Mathieson,  Miss Ellen Stewart b1884, Miss S Stewart b1870, Miss Ellen Stewart1884.

I have added their birth years for the people I recognise from info I gained on-line BMD's

I haven't been able to tie up marriages of the girls mentioned at their mothers Funeral in 1932...possibly there were some second marriage.

Most odd that we can't find her
I am trying to find out if she actually received any money/ property after the Divorce ,as the outcome of the Writ she served wasn't mentioned in the paper...if he didn't pay up the place was going to be seized.
