Just purchased the death certificate for Henry William PARKER.
The informant was his brother Richard PARKER of Antwerp.
Died 31 Dec 1960
Jeparit Hospital
Usual Place of Residence: Jeparit
Name: Henry William PARKER
Occ: not any
Age: Male 85 years
Cause of Death: Acute Bronchitis 3 days, Pulmonary Oedema 10 days, Congestive Cardiac Failure 5 years
Name of Father and mother : Robert PARKER farmer Caroline PARKER formerly FLACK
Born: Albury
Lived in NSW for 55 years and Victoria for 33 years.
Married at Tullyve Victoria at the age of 20 to Caroline RICHARDS
Widower
Children
Alfred William 65 Years
Daisy age unknown
Norman age unknown
Nellie age unknown
Lillian age unknown
So he was listed as a Widower, but did his brother Richard definitely know that Caroline was deceased.
Children's names also a surprise
I don't have a Norman born to him unless Ernest was known as Norman.
I don't have a Lillian born to him.
No Ernest, Alice or Mary shown as children.
It may be the case that Richard PARKER did not exactly remember the names of Henry's children correctly.
Cheers Leonie
