Queensland Electoral Roll Look-up - Gwendoline Vera WILSON - COMPLETED
« on: Saturday 24 September 11 23:00 BST (UK) »
Is anyone able to assist with a Queensland Electoral Roll look-up please  :)

Gwendoline Vera WILSON (born HANSON)

I already have the following electoral roll information sourced via Ancestry.

1930 and 1933 - "Vererna" Dennis Street, Lakemba NSW - h.d. (residing with husband)
1936 - 27A Hall Street, Bondi NSW - h.d.
1943 - Ralston Street, Wilston QLD - Saleswoman

Some background information.
Birth:  7 June 1907, Lady Bowen Hospital, Brisbane QLD
Marriage: 31 December 1927, St David's Church, Arncliffe NSW
Spouse: Ernest Reginald WILSON

Ernest Reginald WILSON re-married 4 April 1951 at Sydney NSW (spouse Lavenia SMITH)
This marriage cert shows Ernest as the "Divorced Petitioner"

Ernest died 18 September 1967 at Murwillumbah NSW
His death cert shows there was "No Issue" from his marriage to Gwendoline Vera WILSON (born HANSON)

Many thanks,
Jenny

Hi
Was she listed as Hanson or Wilson after the divorce?

Hi
If she was the daughter of Norman Victor Hanson and Bona Vera Wyatt perhaps she went to SA to be with her father, it looks like he died there in 1957.

Hi mum mum,

Her father, Norman Victor HANSON, died during WW1 in Belgium.
Her mother, Bona Vera WYATT, died in 1920 in Sydney NSW.

Cheers, Jenny.

Hi
So was the Norman Victor who died in SA a son of theirs, I was trying to see where the rest of her family were. Is it your tree on ancestry that has the death date of 2006?

Hi mum mum,

I know of no Sth Aust family connection.  I think you are looking at a tree on Ancestry which belongs to someone else.

There are several occurrences of Norman Victor HANSON; I know of another from Victoria born about the same time, who also served in WW1.

Cheers, Jenny.

The chances are very likely that Gwendoline WILSON did marry for a second time, but locating when and where eludes me at the moment.  It could have been in NSW, QLD, or Tasmania, as she had relatives in each state.  I thought I would follow the QLD trail as that is the last electoral roll entry I have for her.

I've contacted living descendents of her siblings and none have any recollections of family discussions of her.

Thank you for the suggestions above; over the weekend I checked Ryerson for their death notices and both individuals appear to be the wrong age at date of death.

Cheers, Jenny
