Strange death dates for EDMONDSON family in Victoria
« on: Sunday 20 October 13 01:28 BST (UK) »
I'm just creating a database to makes things easier for me when I make my trip to Victoria and I've noticed something very intriguing.

Margaret EDMONDSON (nee Boyd) died on 19 April 1895 at Wooragee.
The same day as her daughter, Mary Georgina.

Then 2 months to the day on 19 June 1895, Margaret's husband, George Downey EDMONDSON dies at Barnawartha.

If it was more recent, I'd say a car accident.
However, I've checked TROVE and I can't find anything on the deaths or anything.

If anyone can help with information regarding a newspaper article on this or obits or anything would be appreciated.

GOLDSWORTHY / TREMAYNE & variations / UREN & variations / BOWDEN  / SIRL in Cornwall
HOOPER in London
FRIEZER / FRIESER in England, Indonesia and Netherlands
TWIST in Lancashire
SEARLE in Dorset
JAMIESON / RENNIE or RANIE / EDMONDSON / CAMERON in Scotland
DOWNING / McKEOWN / MILLS / HANES and WYLIE in Ireland
McKEOWN in NY and Boston / RAPSEY in New Zealand
and many many more.  These are just the main ones

Hi Essie,

You are correct.
I don't know why I have incorrect dates of death for both Edward and Mary.
Then again, I lost abt. 1500 people on my tree when computer crashed...so nothing would surprise me.

Thanks so much for that.
You've solved a puzzle and fixed a problem in one fell swoop.  :)
