There are a couple of Beatrice Quinns in SA of a similar age.
I think Beatrice Eileen QUINN born 1895 in Hindmarsh is probably NOT the correct one, as she marries in 1920 to JACOBS.
It might be worth looking more at Beatrice Osborne QUINN – born 25 Jan 1893 Adelaide, mother Mary Quinn, no father named,   Reg. 513/446

Wow!
Firstly thank you for the welcomes and a big thank you for the replies and taking a look. There is already a lot to unpack here.

Can you please list all the information on this birth certificate.  It will have good information about the parents.

What other BDM certificates do you have for the people you are researching?

Where and when did your grandfather Thomas James QUINN, born 1918, marry?

Where and when did he die?

Unfortunately I have zero certificates for anything so I know that is not the most helpful. I can always ask family but suspect I would have to obtain them myself.

However the information added by Essie in post 10 is correct. I haven't been able to find the date, it does seem to be locked away on genealogysa though. After 1943 it would seem as Margaret was still a Chant but likely before 1948.

     This marriage certificate should give you more information.

 That is probably more accurate as I have Eileen's DOB as 1916.
Agreed if I can find the cert it would be helpful. Definitely going to register at genealogysa as it looks like there is plenty of info there. Maybe.

Thank you for the welcome.

OK so Dorothy Beryl is new to me, possibly she didn't make it but gives a link as to why my family only ever knew Beatrice as Beryl.
And a again I had Sylvia down as 1914 plus the Imelda is new info too.

Also the marriage info adds their ages and church to what I had so that corresponds to a few things as well.

Thanks

You need to register to see the details – I don’t know what info it will contain.
I imagine the entries are for the birth of daughters Dorothy and Sylvia

Yes I have seen that, what I find interesting is using the surname Quinn before marriage. I guess it was normal to use the name of the father when being admitted?

I believe that DOD and grave to be the right one.

Beatrice Cecilia Quinn, of Port Lincoln, against Thomas Quinn of Rundle street, City, on the ground of desertion.

This is very interesting thank you!
The 'of Port Lincoln' is a new lead, would it of been the place where she was at the time or where she was from. I'll have to look into that. I have her on the electoral rolls in Thebarton but that is later on.

It gives Thomas's address at the time as Vaughan place. Man the name street/place brings back memories. I wonder if he was living in one of the establishments of the location.

I knew Thomas James was in a boys home so this suggests that maybe all the kids were or maybe just Eileen as well.

Thank you, this definitely suggests it's Thomas Michael. That is something I have not come across before. That is bound to help.

Welcome to Rootschat.

There was an inquest into the death of Thomas Michael Quinn, 6th column:

http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article128363263

Death notice, 2nd page, 3rd column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article92380881

He died due to a burst duodenal ulcer, 2nd column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article96318638

Cheers for the welcome.
This is fascinating, as far as I know the Thomas Joseph mentioned was an even dodgier character than my Great Grandfather. Thankfully the mentioned age difference caused me to rule him out earlier on.

It mentions the East End Market Hotel, hah. See post above.

This paints quite a picture.

Re Thomas Michael Quinn in the Police Gazette 1942 and 1940.

Thank you!

That second one and the mentions of scars correlates to the Thomas Quinn arrested in 1917 in Broken Hill.

There are a couple of Beatrice Quinns in SA of a similar age.
I think Beatrice Eileen QUINN born 1895 in Hindmarsh is probably NOT the correct one, as she marries in 1920 to JACOBS.
It might be worth looking more at Beatrice Osborne QUINN – born 25 Jan 1893 Adelaide, mother Mary Quinn, no father named,   Reg. 513/446

The Beatrice Cecile one seems correct, as far as we know she was a Pepper before becoming a Quinn. But searching that hasn't so far produced anything substantial.
I agree the Eileen one would be too young.

[sparrett]

The marriage certificate will help with her surname, but the certificates from South Australia are light on other information.
