Richard Edward Matthews Leederville, Perth, W.A.
« on: Monday 13 December 21 13:17 GMT (UK) »
Hi all, looking for a death for Richard Edward Matthews born 1866 UK and his wife Rosa nee Culverhouse 1870.
Their son Herbert Edward Matthews born 1893 UK served for Australia in both World Wars and received the Military Medal in WW1. When he received the medal his parents were notified at their address in Leederville, Perth, WA.
30 Sep 1922 Herbert marries Omilpha May Riley in Sydney, NSW and parents are entered as Richard Edward Matthews and Rosa Culverhouse.
Try as I might I can't find an embarkation date from UK or a death for Richard and Rosa any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pete.
Mainly researching the Lees from Herts but also compiling a one name study of Culverhouse

Brilliant, thankyou. That's them, I always forget to look in Findagrave  :D When I entered them on to my tree I also found another Culverhouse buried there. Thanks again.

You may also be interested in this - a silver wedding anniversary announcement:

(so definitely in Australia before 1916)

A few other family notices and items also available on trove:
https://trove.nla.gov.au
(use different search terms eg "matthews leederville" and limit to Western Australia)

Modified to add:
The earliest I can see Richard and Rosa on electoral rolls in WA is 1914.
