Find Ancestors

John J Tennant my 2x great grandfather married Edith Mason In 1932 Liverpool uk. From this marriage 2 children were born

William H Tennant 1932 and Eric R Tennant 1933

Using Ancestry I found the following record

Name:
Eric R Tennant

Birth Date:
abt 1934

Departure Place:
London, United Kingdom

Arrival Date:
24 Jun 1947

Arrival Place:
Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia

Age on Arrival:
13

Vessel:
Largs Bay

I would be interested to find out if William or Eric stayed there and married possibly had children and also what might of happened to their mother Edith Mason of which I have no dates. Thank you in advance

It would be useful if you could try to find out Edith Mason's birth year.

Was she your great grandmother or a different marriage for John J Tennant?

EDIT:
I see she was 41 years old when she arrived in 1947.

jj tenant was a brother to my great grandfather

Well he went with his mum Edith aged 41 and William H aged 12

Address they are going to

442 Putchwood road, Belmore , Sydney

Thank you where is the address is that listed on the crossing which I also looked up

Oh, I see - that's not what it says in your opening post - you say he's your 2 x great grandfather so I thought it was odd that you didn't know about your direct line!

I appears that John J went to Australia too:

Australia, Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980
Name: Edith Tennant
Gender: Female
Electoral Year: 1949
Subdistrict: Marrickville
State: New South Wales
District: Grayndler

At 19 Cadogan street with John J, a cleaner. Boys obviously too young to be on rolls at this stage.

I only know what I have researched as I was fostered from birth. Didn't even know I had over 40 cousins till I started this...

Name: Edith Tennant
Gender: Female

At 22 Cleone Street, with John James (now a carpenter) and Eric Robert, a machinist. No mention of William H.

Just her and John James, still at 22 Cleone Street.

From the Ryerson Index:

TENNANT John James Death notice 27AUG1986 Death 80 Sydney Morning Herald 30AUG1986

Don't know if this is the correct William H:

TENNANT William Henry (Harry) Death notice 03AUG2010 Death 89 at Euroa Hospital Herald Sun (Melbourne) 05AUG2010

ADDED
TENNANT Eric Robert Death notice 28AUG1986 Death 53 Sydney Morning Herald 30AUG1986

How sad, it appears Edith lost her husband and a son at the same time.

Thank you ever so much MarieCeleste I appear to have a lot to work through.

You're very welcome Mark. Unfortunately the sons' marriages would be too recent to be on-line.

Mark -your may like to use the 'Ask a Librarian' service available (on-line) at all (Aus) State Libraries - they will check electoral rolls (past & present) and newspaper death notices (if given approx. dates). i.e. 'NSW State Library' and 'VIC State Library').
