Would any of my fellow Rootschatters possibly be able to help please regarding any possibly newspaper announcements about the death of Sarah Cole on 27 August 1957 at Chippenham Park, Deniliquin and subsequent inquest into her death on 10 September at the Deniliquin Court House?
According to Sarah's death certificate she drowned but unfortunately its a little too late for anything to appear on Trove. I'm interested in any reports which might confirm the full name of her son George Campbell (or for that matter a middle initial and his wife's name) whose birth date on the death certificate is out by a couple of years
(editing for clarity) and is already deceased having died in 1972. Doesn't help that Campbell is a bit of a common surname. That said, if Sarah is who it is believed she is, then rather than being 74 years old according to her death certificate, she was actually about 82.
Her second husband was some years younger than her which may explain some of the error.
In case anyone thinks of looking, yes there are a couple of ancestry Public Trees listing her but there are errors on them, some caused, assuming I'm correct about her identity, by a few little fibs she told when she remarried in 1924.
I've not seen a copy of her 1924 marriage certificate but the ancestry tree of her great granddaughter suggests she told a few little fibs on it regarding both her age and her parentage. I'm a little reluctant to contact any of the tree owners because I know from another researcher that it is a bit of a delicate subject with some of her descendants.
I've purchased quite a few BMD transcripts as it is relating to this sideline and don't really think anymore would conclusively help. Its a shame that there isn't anything yet on Trove which might.
Any help appreciated, I don't need any other information as have a lot of research on her.
Thanks
Nicola
