FLORENCE ROSE KELLY (nee Turner) formerly Marston
« on: Sunday 10 March 24 22:14 GMT (UK) »
Hi Everyone
    Another tangle to sort out today!!  I am trying to find out if the above Florence Rose Kelly nee TURNER was living with any other family members on the electoral rolls in the Balmain area, 1920>1930's onwards.

Florences two surviving children are:-

ROSE FLORENCE TURNER/ MARSTON b 1906 Victoria d 1995 Sydney who married Colin W D TORY.  (I just received this marriage certificate).  They married in 1923 and Florence Rose KELLY gave permission for her 17 year old daughter to marry.

ARTHUR SAMUEL TURNER/ MARSTON b 1907 Victoria died August 1979. He married Eleanor M DUVAL in Balmain 1928.

Florence Rose TURNER married Richard MARSTON in Victoria 1909.  She seems to be on the Electoral Roll in Victoria possibly 1913/1917.

So it looks like Florence has perhaps left her husband and came to Sydney with her two children.

There was another son RICHARD LESLIE b 1909 registered under both TURNER and MARSTON he died in Victoria in 1911.

I don't know how the KELLY name gets into the picture at all!  Was she living with a Mr. Kelly or just more fiction?? 

Thanks for any help once again.  Kindest regards Dianna

For the 1923 and1928 marriage certificates, what names do you see for witnesses?

What addresses are recorded?

How is MARSTON father accounted for?....occupation recorded?......notated "dec"?

From the BDM seems correct for the death of Arthur Samuel.  Some mistakes on Rose Florence Marstons marriage though!!

Hi Ladyhawk All looks correct!  Therefore if the Richard Marston who is buried with his son in 1965 is correct, Florence must have left him and come up to NSW!!! 

Doesn't look like she married John KELLY understandibly. 

Curious also that Colin TORY'S wife Rose Florence is not buried with him.  Still trying to find her burial in 1995.  Will get there eventually. 

DEATH 3 NOV 1995 • Point Clare, NSW Rose Florence TORY (from a tree on ancestry I think) don't know how reliable it is though.

Thanks very much Dianna
