Find Ancestors

I'm sure I searched and couldn't find an obituary! Yes, it looks like that one was born Vincent.

No mention of a husband in her obituary. :

We do know, though, that your Robert is the teacher married to Patricia, since the other Robert, according to his sister, isn't/wasn't. :-)


I do still wonder about the death notice

VINCENT Patricia Anne
Funeral notice 04DEC2015
Death 61

since that would be just the right age, and wonder whether you can investigate with the QLD library.

So - nothing we hadn't already discovered.
Disappointing.

I received a reply from the librarians as follows.

We have completed researching your question and our response is below.


I have checked the New South Wales Electoral Rolls to see if Robert Malcolm Vincent was enrolled. Unfortunately, there were two Robert Malcolm Vincent's.

One was a Jackaroo in Cooma, NSW in 1972, then in 1977 he was a Grazier in Scone, NSW and in 1980 he was a Station Overseer in Glenrock, NSW. I did not find anything after this year in New South Wales.

The second was listed as a Teacher in 1977 at a place called Badgers Holt, Windellama Road, Goulburn, NSW. There was a Patricia Ann Vincent at the same address. I also found that there was a Robert Malcolm Vincent was a teacher in Tennent Creek, Northern Territory in 1981. I could not find anything more after this year.

I looked to see if Bernard Baynard Vincent was at the same address but he wasn't. Bernard was a Teacher so perhaps it is the second Robert that you are looking for.

I also checked the Ryerson Index - this indexes select newspapers throughout Australia for funeral and death notices. I did not find an entry for Robert Malcolm Vincent.

In New South Wales there is a probate index online from 2013 onwards, but, I did not find an entry for Robert. This may mean that he did not die in NSW. I am only aware what is done for NSW Probate. Other states and territories could do things differently.

You would have to go to each state or territory to see if there is a death notice for him. Here is the link to each state : https://www.australia.gov.au/information-and-services/family-and-commu...etc

Good luck with your search.

Sorry and thank you

When you have info, it's good form to let us know.

Not necessarily all the personal details, but "I am in touch with his brother A who hasn't seen him since 1979", so we don't go hunting for him in hope that he would lead to Robert.

Fingers crossed for the librarians.

Alyn told me today this Choccy. The father is Bernard :)

That FB page states his father died (with a picture of them both) on the 17th September 2010 aged 92 years

I have the information of when the family went to Australia already :)

I have Alyn as a friend on Facebook as from today, we have been chatting for a couple of weeks but he has not seen Robert since 1979 so he has no idea of anything :(

Hm, hm, ?

'Twould be odd if so ...

Alyn on FB and looks as though Darealijolo may possibly a 'friend'?


(I assume this has been posted before?)

Good find, Choccy!

If the librarian can provide you with a published obituary for the death I considered:

VINCENT Patricia Anne
Funeral notice 04DEC2015
Death 61
late of Boondall
Courier Mail (Brisbane) 09DEC2015

it could well clarify whether your Robert was her husband, and whether he died in 2015 (since she died very late in the year).


What a mine of info from Choccy there. I am definitely not great on Aussie travel records myself!


Surely there is only one Alyn.

Just google "Alyn Vincent" and tons of stuff.

There can only be one, the right age ........


He is a major Vincent motorcycle fan, which gives me an opening to listen to one of my favourite songs

So the teacher who married Patricia may well be your Robert.

Not sure where we go from there, though! Wait for the Librarian, I suppose.

Got a reply back from Annie and she said that Robert is still alive, never married some one called Patricia and no to the other questions :(

I have emailed Annie back asking some questions, so will wait for reply, will let you know what she says :)
I have already asked a Libararian and have a week till get a reply so fingers crossed :)
