Help with Fidler/Menkins
« on: Monday 15 July 13 06:56 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am trying to find out what happened to Doris Grace Fidler born 1912 who married Henry William Menkens in 1936 in Queensland.  Henry died in 1937 and the last bit of information i can find out about Doris (or Dot as I noticed she was called when I looked up some pieces in Trove) is her living with her parents in 1937 Queensland Voter List.
Can anyone help me please?
Kind regards
Bev

Also married with the same name - Heinrich.

1936/C4974
MENKENS    Heinrich William   
FIDLER Doris Grace

And as Doris was living in Townsville according to the 1937 Electoral Roll, do you think she re-married in that district.

Australian Electoral Roll
1936
FIDLER Doris Grace  102 Sturt Street, Townsville  HD
1937
MENKENS Doris Grace 102 Sturt Street, Townsville   HD

Pity she didn't have unusual given names  :)

Is it possible she is buried with her parents?

Thanks Both
Doris Grace and a brother Ronald Henry Fidler are very elusive.   Ronald is mentioned in Trove as well, but I can find no birth, marriage or death for him either.  If she remarried I can't find out her name as the Queensland marriages only go to 1938 which is only a year after her husband died.
Kind regards
Bev.

Report of her first marriage states dau of the late Mr D B FIDLER. Appears to be with her mother Grace and brother in 1937.

Her father died in 1924.
