Myra Madge BROWN

[red3]

Hi
I am trying to find Myra Madge Brown.
She was the  adopted daughter of  William John and Laura Brown. 
 
The birth appears to have been recorded in 1971 under the name Myra McLeod Brown.

She is mentioned in William's will which is available at NZ Archives 1928. (Will written February 1922)

Myra Madge married Kenneth Steward Eather on the 28 June 1922 Auckland NZ. (NZ Herald 1 July 1922)
The marriage notice gives Kenneth's father as J Easter of Australia.

The last record of her is from Family Search - Passenger record on the Moeraki for Sydney 29 June 1922 travelling with her husband.   Eather KS aged 27 - Gentleman and Eather MM aged 21.

Can anyone see what became of Myra?

Thank you Red3

The birth appears to have been recorded in 1971 under the name Myra McLeod Brown.

From that can deduce her date of birth was 2nd August 1900.  (Might help for subsequent  records)

Have you the cert?

I have not given any bequest to my adopted daughter Madge Myra Brown (who is now temporarily living with me again) because of her loose, improper conduct and because of her having left home several times in defiance of the wishes of myself and my wife and because I am utterly disappointed and grieved over her

23 Feb 1922.

Red3, not directly Myra, but Kenneth looks likely to be the death registered in NSW in 1989 to a Samuel John, and Anne.  Have you seen this?

Ww1 record  though gives father as John Roland Eather , mother Hanna.
Hanna died 1952. Will is online. Only daughters are named.


Cannot see Kenneth on a single electoratal roll

Had not seen those bits on Trove. Thanks

In the Papers past marriage notice father of Ken is  Mr J Eather of Australia

Just pinning these snippets on the EATHER family in case they help round something out or eliminate someone:
