Stone, John Edward

Hi there,

May I ask if you have Thomas Russell STONE's marriage cert, and if John Edward STONE was noted there as a witness?

There is a John Edward Stone on 1913 ER in Belmore NSW with Mary Ann - do you know who/if he married?

May I please mention that this was NOT Belmore as in a locality in NSW, (and there is a locality by that name in suburban Sydney NSW) but rather that is simply the name of that particular electorate.  So the electorate in 1913 was Belmore and the polling place was Chalmers Street.    At that time, the City of Sydney's wards included one based around Chalmers Street and that ward was known as Belmore in the late 1800s.   Perhaps it was named Belmore after the park (Belmore Park) that is still located at the eastern end of Central Railway Station, Sydney CBD. http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/learn/sydneys-history/people-and-places/park-histories/belmore-park   

 So that particular John Edward STONE was registered to vote (add: in the 1913 NSW ER) in respect of 515 Riley Street, and his occupation was recorded as carter.  That 'Riley Street' runs from The Domain to Cleveland St, and 515 Riley Street would be in the suburb of Surry Hills. 

Belmore (the suburb) is quite some distance from Sydney CBD, and is NOT in the local government area of the City of Sydney.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belmore,_New_South_Wales

Here is a link to the City of Sydney Archives,  free to search, and includes Assessment Books, Directories, photos, maps,  etc  http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/learn/history/archives

Here's some info re that electorate of Belmore.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Belmore
It was originally in northern Surry Hills bounded by Elizabeth Street, Liverpool Street, Oxford Street, Riley Street and Foveaux Street

And NSW Governor Belmore

  Parks named after him in Sydney and Goulburn testify to his popularity in New South Wales

May I note that NSW electoral rolls are in alphabetical order by surname, then given name of the elector.  The roll does not confirm who is married to whom, or give details of children or other members of any household.  So they are not set out like a UK 'census' document.  It was not until the 1920s that it became compulsory to enrol. And to be eligible to enrol you needed to be a resident, aged 21 years and over and a British Subject.

NSW BDM has a marriage indexed for a John E STONE and a Mary A CORDER, but that was registered in 1905, in Sydney, and our OP has 1909 as the migration year.   That NSW BDM marriage is reference #88/1905 and drills down to 21 December 1904.  An official transcription of that registration should give first hand info from the groom about his origins, including details of his place of birth, his age, his occupation, his mum and dad (including dad's occupation),  and help confirm or eliminate him as brother of your Thomas Russell STONE.
