[tedscout]

Margaret Mary CORBETT was born in 1863 in Cranbourne Victoria. On her death certificate dated 13 June 1932 (in the name of Margaret Mary WOODLAND) she has 2 marriages.

1st marriage to Michael MOORE at age 15 in Cranbourne - they had 4 children the youngest is Margaret aged 47.

2nd marriage is to Syndey WOODLAND at age 30 years in Cranbourne - they had 2 children the eldest was Ada age 36.

The person who registered the death was an authorised agent.

I cannot find a marriage between Michael MOORE AND Margaret Mary and I cannnot find a death for Michael MOORE.

I hope someone can help me find this information. Thanks in advance, cheers Ted

I can't see either of them YET up until 1901. I can check the later indexes if you want 

BUT I did notice Ada's birth 

CORBETT Ada Woodland b. 1894  CRANBOURNE #19835R
Father: Unknown
Mother: Margt CORBEN

MOORE Ada Woodland b. 1894  CRANBOURNE #19835R
Father: Unknown
Mother: Margt CORBETT

I've found all the children's births Merlin - I just want to find the marriages so I can buy the certs and see what they say - its driving me nuts.

Do you think that some of the records in Cranbourne got lost?

I think it is more likely that Margaret wasn't the marrying kind. 

She obviously wasn't married to WOODLAND when Ada was born, and in 1909 she was on the electoral roll as Margaret Mary MOORE at 36 O'Grady Street, Clifton Hill.  Also at that address are her son (?) Richard MOORE and Mary CORBETT.

In 1914 she is Margaret Mary WOODLAND, still at at 36 O'Grady Street and Sydney is now with her.  Richard and Mary are still there as well.

Checked all the marriages up until her death = ZILCH!
To be honest I don't think she married either of them but I would like to be proven wrong 

It's always possible that some records are missing but the births & deaths for those years & area are all appearing on the index, marriages only give place of birth on some of the early indexes but not place of marriage. So you can't search by place name 

There are lots of deaths for the name Michael MOORE!

Do you have any of the children's birth certificates with any details about Michael or Sydney on them? Or Sydney's death certificate?

Debra - that was my worst thought when I started researching tonight, now I think you have decided it for me.

I was hoping marriage certificates would help me find her mother Mary Corbet nee Walsh.

As Margarets father was dead I was hoping to find that Mary Corbett had given permission for the first marriage. After all she was only 15, and an address of where they were living at that time.

I want to put a time line together of their places of residence after Richard Cobrbett (Mary Walsh's husband and Margaret Mary's father) died.

Mary Corbett - Margaret's mother died at 36 O'Grady Street.

Richard Corbett's - biography is getting more like "Home and Away" everytime I think of another path to research.

Thanks for your help, Cheers Ted

Red post: Thanks Merlin - I think the death certs are the next place to look, Thanks

I'm off to bed - I have to cook breakfast at 7am for 50 hungry Cubs, but does anyone know how I can find out who owned 36 O'Grady Street during that time?

Richard was wealthy when he died and he left everything to Mary as long as she didnt marry. Its just a thought but ............

WA BDM seems to be broken for me at the moment, but I noticed in this article that  "Syd has latterly resided in West Australia, but returned to Victoria....."  http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/69567266

Perhaps they married in WA?
