Find Ancestors

Hi Kelly

What were her parents names please? I assume Hubbard is her maiden name. Did she definitely not have any middle name?

:-)

Hi Reece

Sorry I can't see any trace of him. Perhaps if you can tell me his wife's name? Do you know where she was buried/cremated? That may assist assuming they are together.

Hi Cherilyn,

Thank you for your kind offer.

I have found a Edith Hubbard on a passenger list going to Brisbane Australia.

I am trying to find out if this Edith is one of my relatives but I am struggling to find any more information.

The passenger list details are as follows:

Name: Edith Hubbard
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1885
Age: 23
Arrival Date: Aug 1908
Arrival Port: Brisbane, Australia
Departure Port: London
Ship: Ormuz
Nationality: English

I have looked on the queensland BMD but can't seem to find anything so I was wondering if she may have travelled to another part of Australia

Any help would be truly appreciated.

Kelly.

Hello Cherilyn,

Thanks for your kind offer.

I am looking for the death of my first cousin, Wallace John FROST b. 26 March 1906 Ulmarra, NSW, please.

Having searched, I cannot find anything after his discharge from the Army, I have his marriage date and wife, who died in 2004.

Might he have gone to another State, I wonder?

PM me if you feel it is appropriate and very many thanks for all your help.

Reece

Hi Kathleen

I have sent you a PM in reply to yours :-)

Cheers

My great-uncle, Frederick Bentham, born 1881, married Rose Lilian Whitehead at Epsom, Surrey in 1908. I was unable to find him on 1911 Census and understand that he and his wife emigrated to Australia some time after mid -1908 and before census time in Spring, 1911. I know that he died in Dandenong some time in 1943. I would appreciate knowing when the couple sailed to Australia and if they had any family.
Thanks in anticipation of receiving some info.

Thanks Cherilyn. I think I am going to have trouble finding Edna, so far I haven't been able to turn up a death in Australia, and of course she may have returned to UK. The definite possibility is that she remarried and finding that out will be nigh impossible. Similarly, finding Mavis. If anyone has any suggestions on where I can try next to find them I would be grateful. Many thanks again, cheers, Jenni

Louis & Frances DARE were in NSW by 1901. But only the 2 youngest children born here Raymond Carrington & Ruzaile Philip (known as Philip). So no Leonard was not Australian by birth.

The given names Antonie and Ruzaile suggest a European connection. There is a variant of the surname, Da Re, suggested in marriage reg for Leonard & Edith I believe. This is Italian.

Edna would be almost 90 by now. You could try a volunteer for Tasmania at www.raogk.org to check for remarriage but I suspect too recent (privacy laws prevent public access).

Does seem odd Edith was in Tassie when Leonard was in NSW & UK.

Hi Cherilyn,

That was very quick work. I have spent days looking and turned up very little.
This is the Leonard Dare I am looking for. He was formerly married to Edith Samuels. I take it that he was an Australian. The link I am following is his marriage to Edna Joyce Anson in 1946 in London after the birth of a daughter Mavis. They left the UK in November 46 on the Themistocles. Have found Edna in Triabunna Tasmania on the 1949 Electoral roll, but nothing else for her or for their daughter Mavis. Would love to find her if she is still alive - every possibility I presume. I know I am following several threads here, but do so much appreciate the fantastic help I've received. My grateful thanks to all. Jenni

Thanks, Jax. Frustrating when this is not mentioned! (I do warn against duplication in my original post).

The children abovenamed were daughters of Leonard DARE & Edith SAMUEL, who married in Sydney, NSW in 1914. It is possible they divorced as they are listed as separate addresses (suburbs) in the marriage notice for daughter Louise (her 2nd marriage), in 1952. But may be a different family entirely!

What were Edna's parents names? There is a death in NSW for Edna DARE with parents Harry & Hannah in 1974. See www.bdm.nsw.gov.au

Interestingly, Edna is also buried at the Jewish Cemetery in Rookwood...
no scrap that, she was Antonie's wife.

Just thought I would add I have given the death plus all the passenger lists I could find on Jenni's thread on living relatives

Hi Jenni

Wonder if this is Leonard's arrival in Brisbane?
DARE Leonard - born 1888 - incoming passenger card - arriving Brisbane on the Bulolo (1948-50)

And death on Ryerson Index:
DARE Leonard Death notice 18AUG1953 Death at Middlesex Hospital, London Sydney Morning Herald 20AUG1953

I don't know if any of these names are familiar:

DARE, Leonard.-August 18, 1953, in London, father of Margaret Bradshaw, Louise Scott-Fell, and Barbara Catts.
DARE, Leonard,-August 18, at Middlesex Hospital, London, beloved brother of Ruby, Marian, Antonie, Lionel, Richard, Raymond, and Phillp. At rest.

Parents of Leonard's sibs above were Louis & Frances. Louis died in Paddington, NSW in 1906 aged 40. Frances died in 1928 aged 63. Leonard and sibs are mentioned in her funeral notices. She was interred at the Jewish Cemetery in Rookwood. See NLA Trove newspaper site.

Hi Cherilyn,

Saw your kind offer to check Australian records, you probably have been inundated, but I am having no luck in tracing an Edna Joyce Anson who married Leonard Dare in St. Marylebone on 27 November 1946. She was born in Wandsworth on 11th August 1922 . Her name shows on the 1949 electoral roll at Triabunna, Tasmania, but can't turn up anything else. She possibly divorced and remarried or was widowed and remarried as her husband was 58 at the time of their marriage. Can't find anything about him either. Any help, suggestions gratefully appreciated. Many thanks, Jenni

Thank you Cherilyn, for the information .I shall try that website at a better hour. You are truely a blessing to all of us seekers. thanks again

Cherilyn

I have been in touch with you some time ago about my aunt Florence Hunter
who was on her way to Australia when WW2 started. you were very good finding the cousins in NSW but I have been told she became a nun. Is there any way I can find out if this was so. Thank you for your help so far.
