Find Ancestors

So exactly why was another thread started -- contrary to the rules? and how much effort has been duplicated now ...

Hi there.

I have since received further information.

I have found out that I have 5 siblings who are all children of Edna May McKenzie (McKenzie being her maiden name and KING being her married name). Edna married their father in Townsville in 1953. Her ex-husband passed away in 1993.

She was not married to my father, they were engaged but when he found out about the pregnancy he broke it off with her.

Any thoughts on being able to try and find these siblings?

Thanks.

I have requested a copy of Hector's death certificate to see what information it provides, and also a copy of Edna's marriage certificate.

Guess I'll wait to receive that information and take it from there as don't think there's much else I can do at the moment.

Thank you for the replies, they have been most helpful!

Unfortunately NOT.

What you can do is contact the State Library of NSW.
They have an "Ask the Librarian" service and could find her (for a fee) on electoral rolls since the 1954 entry.

You would at least know when she 'disappeared' from the roll, either through an other marriage or death.

This would give you a 'time-frame' to search.

Many thanks!

Is there anyway to find out if she did marry again?

I also could not find her death under Annie Rita Terrance... she may have married again.. after 1959 ..(on-line access)

Hi again.

Just having problems finding a date of death for Annie Rita Cupitt.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks for assisting with those searches.

Wow, 3 deaths and re-marriages? Is that bad luck or what?

I am interested in finding out as much as I can about Edna May King (nee MacKenzie) and her parents Hector Alexander MacKenzie and wife, Annie Rita Cupitt.

Not too worried about going too much further back just at the moment, until I get my head around these few people first.

How do you do the search where it comes up what their occupations etc were?

UPDATED INFORMATION.

I have since received information that Edna's parents were a Hector Alexander MacKenzie and an Annie Rita MacKenzie. I only have names, no place of birth or dates of births.

Edna was also born 19 June 1935.

Can anyone help with searching further?

The library replied and told me they weren't able to do the search for me. I would need to visit a library myself.

I also have a possible date of birth now, 19/06/1935.

Am still searching...

Thanks Valerie.

To be honest I am not sure if she is alive or deceased.

I have emailed the Library to see if they can assist any.

Any other suggestions greatly appreciated!

Kym - you could contact the 'NSW State Library' (on-line) which has an 'Ask a Librarian' service ...they will check the (NSW) electoral rolls for you...from approximate year Edna married (1955-65+) ..... The 'Ryerson Index' (on-line) shows a couple of deaths for an 'Edna May King' but age doesn't match - though there's one shown d 8/5/2004 at 'Austin Hospital' -notice in 'Herald Sun' (Melbourne) 10/5/04. (Ryerson's will do a 'look-up' for you)...... If this is your Edna then the 'VIC State Library' will check the Victorian electoral rolls for you (pre 2004) -and possibly find her husband. ...Valerie (WA)

Thanks! Will check it out anyway. :)

Possibly too late for now, but many people recommend getting a transcript of BMD info rather than the actual certificates - faster, and half the price. If you google "Joy Murrin" you'll find the service often recommended here.

Many thanks, I appreciate the replies as I am starting from square one.

I have requested documents from the NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages but believe this can take weeks, if not months. Just trying to do a bit of my own homework in the meantime to see if I can come up with anything.
