Marriage of John Bolton and Mary Ann Green 1911

[Ladyhawk]

Mary Ann bn abt 1866 Chorley, died 21st Dec 1925, Lithgow NSW.

Do you have an address for Mary Ann?

There is this electoral entry

John Bolton
Electoral Date:   1930/1932
Electoral Place:   Lithgow, MacQuarie, New South Wales, Australia
Residence Address:   Hassan Walls Road, Lithgow
Occupation:   Ironworker

[Joyce C]

I saw this entry but dismissed it, as far as I know John & Mary Ann settled in NSW most probably in the Lithgow area as this is where Mary Ann died.

When Mary Ann died in 1925 address is same as the 1930 electoral entry i.e Hassans Walls Rd, Lithgow.

[CaroleW]

So if the address & area are correct as per her death cert - why did you dismiss the 1930 entry?

If John was a similar birthyear as Mary and alive in 1930 - then you have a timescale from 1930 to around 1950 for a death for him which may give you more info
