HI Marie

You may be correct with that too.
Maybe they got engaged and then broke it off.
Or married and divorced

He is cremated and remans colled - Fawkner Cemetery
But no sign of Emily Beatrice

Again I will check more in the next few days

Thank you for your help
Kev

Hi Alviegal

Thank you - it all looks correct.
I didn't have the sisters name mine was just Unknown.
So that now cleans up a little more for my friend.

Haven't had much time to check everything - very busy day
I will check everything in detail in the next few days but it all looks great.

Thank you for your help

Kev :-)

Well, I wonder what happened to Laurie Agnes? I've just checked Trove again and the 1943 item I posted earlier was an engagement notice, not a marriage. Presume the marriage didn't go ahead.

Thanks again

You may be right here.
His classification or duty coul dhave been a Coder in the Navy.
Maybe after the Navy he remarried? not sure there
He did live in the Moonie Ponds/Maribyrnong area from what I have found out from my friend.

Thanks Kev :-)

Seeing as Box Hill is mentioned on the marriage notice:

Australia, Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980
Name: Laurie Agnes Wright
Gender: Female
Electoral Year: 1943
State: Victoria
District: Deakin
Subdistrict: Box Hill

She's a clerk, living 47 Severn Street. At same address is Edith Florence (home duties and George Freeman Wright (electrician).

Think that ER might be wrong (or he remarried?)

This article from Trove has parents that match Edwin Arthur George Smith

WRIGHT-SMITH. - Laurie A., eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Wright, of Box Hill, to Coder Edwin Maxwell Smith (R.A.N.), eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. G. Smith, of Brunswick.

The Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848 - 1957) Tuesday 13 April 1943

Yes, that's the cremation I posted earlier

Possible for Edwin

Australia, Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980
Name: Edwin Maxwell Smith
Gender: Male
Electoral Year: 1954
State: Victoria
District: Maribyrnong
Subdistrict: Moonee Ponds

He's a bank officer, address 12 Arthur Street.

At the same address is an Emily Beatrice Smith, home duties.

That should be Edwin Maxwell Smith born 17/2/1922 Melbourne,

Hi Sylvia

I you are right.
He was 38 and born 1926 in Victoria.
Thank you - puzzle solved

I have another one which I will work through and post but its about James's brother Ewin Maxwell - I don't know his wifes name or marriage but they have one daughter Sandra M. Smith.

Thanks again

Hi Kev This looks like it could be James

Name: James Ewen Smith
Death Age: 38
Birth Date: abt 1926
Death Date: 2 Apr 1964
Death Location: Gundagai

Looks like they married quite soon after their engagement was announced:

Thank you Marie

I was assuming early 1950's. Have had issues with the new format of the NSW BDM when searching marriages. They require both partners names or you get nothing. Have written to them but nothing back.
I am helping a friend with her family - she is a SMITH.
Thanks again
Kev

All with the same crematorium details:


Janet May Smith abt 1930 2 Apr 1964 New South Wales
Kathleen Isabel Smith abt 1953 2 Apr 1964 New South Wales
