***COMPLETED - WITH THANKS*** William Edward George Gittus - Tasmania 1900

[~MERLIN~]

The only thing that is missing is when the pair married, it was obviously in Tasmania, [perhaps prior to their son's birth in July1933].
If it's any help, Phyllis was born in Burnie 1914.

This is the only Phyllis VINCENT born 1914 at Burnie:

VINCENT Phyllis Doreen b. 16/10/1914 #5564
Place: 4½ Mile Emu Bay Railway BURNIE
Father: Colin VINCENT
Mother: Florence VINCENT nee Vincent


Her parents marriage:

VINCENT COLLIN m. VINCENT FLORENCE 14/05/1902 BURNIE #0127

Hi All,

In my very first post, I mistakenly gave some wrong information stating it was Phyllis Daisy Vincent, who married William Edward George Gittus. In actual fact, it was Phyllis Doreen Vincent, who was born on the16th October 1914 at Burnie in Tasmania.

Phyllis Doreen Vincent, is the daughter of Collin Henry Vincent & Florence Vincent - nee Vincent [Not related], and not Henry Vincent & Alison Polson as I stated].

I've also learnt that Phyllis either divorced or separated from William, and ended up marrying a Charles Henry Johnson.

Phyllis is buried under the name of Phyllis Doreen Johnson, she died on the 18th August 2003, and is buried at Cornelian Bay Cemetery- Hobart, Tasmania.

Charles, her spouse, died on the 23rd August 1973, and is also buried at Cornelian Bay Cemetery.

I have no record of them being married. I have sent an e-mail asking for a photograph of the grave-site, and hopefully they will forward one too me.

I am sorry for any inconvenience I have caused, by giving wrong information.

Cheers

Hi George,

The Phyllis Doreen Johnson who is buried at the Cornelian Bay Cemetery died on the 13/08/2003 and was buried on the 18/08/2003.
The information given on the CD on the burials and Cremations at Cornelian Bay Cemetery I have says that this Phyllis Doreen Johnson was born 22/01/1914.She is buried with her husband who was William George Johnson who was buried 23/08/1972.
They are buried Church of England,section TW,grave number 27 and unfortunatly there is no headstone for them to gather any more information on this Phyllis.

The Charles Henry Johnson who died on the 23/08/1974 (not 1973) was cremated on the 26/08/1974 and has his next of kin as P Johnson wife.His ashes are placed at Cornelian Bay Cemetery: Garden Bed,Section B,number 1082.
Also placed in the same place are the ashes of Phyllis Doreen Jean Johnson wife of the above who was born 1/01/1919 and died 17/12/1997.Next of kin of Phyllis is a B Woolley (daughter)
It has the full first name of the daughter but she may be still living.
The cremation plots are yet to be phtographed but I can go to the Cemetery and take a phot of their cremation plot if you would like to see if there is more information on the plaque for you.

Not sure what you can make of all this as someone may have given you more wrong information.

Just hoping the CD I have hasn`t been transcribed wrongly.If you call the Cornelian Bay Cemetery they may be able to check the records for you.I have only usually come across incorrect spelling of names on the CD and not incorrect dates.

Sorry for making things harder for you George.

Hey Johngirl, haven't seen you here for an age.

The dates you have given are the same as on their website.

OK, there is a Phyllis married to an Alfred Gittus with a daughter Aileen. So, the article where Phyllis tells someone to back off Aileen is likely not the Phyllis married to William and therefore not a daughter of theirs.

When did Phyllis become such a popular name?  Obviously a Tassie thing.

Hi johngirl,

This is an overview of what I think is correct, as at 8.53pm 03/06/2012.   

I think your view on the matter is most likely correct.

I also think that where it becomes confusing is when a person has multiple spouses, more so when they have the same Christian names.

Phyllis all up, had three spouses"

1. William George Edward Gittus.
2. William George Johnson; [re-tweaked by you, and formerly known by us as, Charles Henry Johnson].
3. An Unknown Spouse, name not known, [so it only confuses the matter even mentioning him].

I have contacted the Tasmanian Family History Society to provide me with Phyllis Doreen Johnson's Death/Obituary Notice. Having this should provide more helpfull information.

I have been in contact with the Cornelian Bay Cemetery Trust, who said that they will provide me with a photo of the grave-site tomorrow, this also  should provide extra information.

It's obvious that I have been given some incorrect information, which I have passed on in this thread, which only makes things harder for every-one, for this I apologize.

I shall forward on what I receive, both from The T.F.H.S., and The Cornelian Bay Cemetery Trust, in due course.

Thanking you all again.

P.S. johngirl, no need to take a photo, as it has been arranged, but thanks anyway.

Regards

Hi George,

Yes its all very confusing.

Back in about 2004-5 three ladies photographed all the headstones at Cornelian Bay Cemetery ,their Website is called Graves of Tasmania.You can now view photo`s of those headstones that they have taken on their website.They have still a fair way to go uploading them but have done the Church of England,section TW and there isn`t a headstone for Phyllis and her husband William Johnson unless of course one has been placed since the ladies photographed all the graves.

http://gravesoftas.dyndns.org/gravesoftas%20new/Cornelian%20Bay%20Live/Church%20Of%20England/Section%20TW.htm

Just wondering if Phyllis had three spouses the unknown name spouse would have to have been number one or number two as she is buried as a Johnson so William Johnson would have been her third and final husband am I correct or did she not marry the unknown named spouse/partner and he was her last spouse /partner.Getting my self more confused I think.

Hopefully Phyllis Doreen Johnson`s obituary will help.
