YEOWARD - Melbourne & Adelaide

[cavair]

I am seeking information about /contact with family & descendants of Dudley Urmson YEOWARD (b 1896 Isle of Man) ) & Eric YEOWARD (b1894, IOM)   Dudley died in Melbourne 1954 and son Dudley Robert married in Adelaide 1949;   Peter Dudley Y,  son of Eric married in 1940s in Canberra or Adelaide.
Particularly looking for what happened to their mother Nellie (nee Crabtree) who  lived in Cheshire, after IOM, till late 1930s  - her husband John died 1908, then she had a son Nigel by Richard Nightingale BANKS in 1913. Richard is my great uncle and we know she followed Richard to Canada in 1912 with Dudley & his sister Brenda,  but they all returned to UK before son Nigel was born. Richard then disappeared back to Canada in 1923 and died in LA in 1933.

Nellie & Nigel were at my grandfathers funeral in 1937 in Stockport, Cheshire and mentioned in his obituary as sister-in-law & nephew,  but we never knew of this family or our grandmothers brother Richard till a few years ago!   

We would love to know what happened to Nellie - did she keep in contact with her children in Australia, or did she die in Australia?  I have seen a posting on Rootschat (I think) from a Yeoward grand daughter but cannot find it again!

Many thanks
Richard

Hi,
www.naa.gov.au  (National Archives Australia)
has 3 digitised YEOWARD records available for viewing online.
Possibly you have viewed them, I haven't read them but they would be a good spot to start.

The residential telephone listing shows only 9 for that surname in the whole of Australia so you may be able to write to all/ some of them to see if there is a connection. Four are in South Australia which may help.

TROVE (digitised newspapers) has the death notice for Dudley Urmson YEOWARD listed in The Argus (Melbourne), Monday 10 May 1954.  The funeral notice is in the same issue.  He was cremated at Springvale.
