[malayastar]

I am looking for the birth date and parents of Robert Cooley who was born about 1883
He died September 12, 1950, suddenly, at Broadmarsh Tasmania.
He was married to Susie Bartlett Pullen who died 21 August 1946.

thank you Tim Cordwell

Hi Tim

Could only find 4 entries for a Robert Cooley

Here they r just briefly so you can eliminate

Robert Golden Cooley 1872 John Todd, Mary Ann, Hobart Tasmania
Keith Robert Peter Cooley 1898 Frederick William, Margaret Johanna, Green Ponds Tasmania
Robert John Cooley 1901 Charles Courtney, Isabel Annie, Launceston Tasmania
Robert Tod Cooley 1905 Harry William Albert, Hobart Tasmania

Just ask for registration numbers & I will post.

I did notice that Robert Cooley married Susan Pullen in 1907- so that rules out the last 3 

Also found the death of that Robert Golden Cooley in Green Ponds Tasmania in 1910.

Are you sure he was born in Tasmania,or even in Oz?

Also are you familiar with <trove.nla.gov.au>
newspaper site

You will find several articles in the Mercury newspaper on Robert Cooley, seems there where 2 Robert Cooleys not sure which one is yours but look like they could be a lot of help also severl death notices for various Cooleys.

Happy hunting

I'm in Hobart so if you need further help please message

Thank you for all your help

I have been looking through Trove, apparently Robert took his own life at his property at Broadmarsh.
I have also been to Cornelian Bay today and found the grave it basically says "Cooley".
I think my best bet is to obtain a copy of there marriage certificate, this should tell me Roberts birth date and place and hopefully parents, being 1907 it should be available at the Tas Archives, is that correct ?

kind regards

Hi malayastar,

according to the Cornelian Bay Cemetery CD Robert was aged 67 at his death therefore he would have been born about 1883.
Robert is buried with Susie Bartlett Cooley.Susie died in 1946.

You will be able to get copy of marriage at the tas archives now in the library building in murray street.  only problem is that tasmanian cert give very scant info.

have you tried the tasmanian federation index (not online) it has births 1900-1919 also marriages 1900-1930 they have copies at the library and also family history groups.  I have my own copy if you need a look up.

if you have the time to travel it might be worth a trip to kempton to have a look at the RC cemetery

i'm out for the rest of the day/night but will check online first thing in the morning to see if you need help
