Is it possible he was a convict?

I currently have 4 birth dates for Georgina Perfect 1871, 1875, 1870 1863 but going by date of death looks like 1863

glad to help

thank you MEgirl. Have been searching for a funeral notice but obviously not in the right place. You're a gem.

Thanks everyone - you're amazing. The information the family has conflicts with the records but I'm inclined to believe the records! Family records show that George Henry died 21/11/1975.

Found this:

The West Australian (Perth WA) 24/3/1949

Bergin - On March 23 at Fremantle Hospital Georgina Bergin of 73 Silas Street, East Fremantle loved mother of George H. Kenny (Nedlands) loved mother-in-law of Beryl, loved grandmother of Alan and Margaret. Aged 86 years. Peacefully sleeping.

and same day:

Bergin - The Friends of the late Mrs. Georgina Bergin of 73 Silas Street, East Fremantle, loved mother of George H. Kenny (Nedlands) are respectfully informed that her remains will be interred in the Anglican portion of the KARRAKATTA Cemetery.

The Funeral is appointed to leave our Private Chapel, 355-357 Hay Street, Subiaco this (Thursday) morning at 11 o'clock arriving at the cemetery at 11.15 o'clock PROSSER SCOTT AND CO. Tel. L.2682 W1804 B3399 F1066

George Henry was born in 1893

Janie. Your best bet would be to purchase the marriage cert in W.A of Georgina Perfect to Thomas Anthony Bergin 1900

At the least........ info on the cert should give you a birth place,age, parents names, ect..... and any other marriages.

Half the information and trees on Ancestry ( regarding Australian records ) is missing,wrong,mispelt, and most of it is rubbish.

GEORGE HENRY KENNY
Date of Death 21/11/1975 82yrs

I don't know that she's dead! Can't find a birth or death record for her. I know she married Thomas Anthony Bergin in Perth Western Australia in 1900 and that her son George Henry Kenny was married in 1922 and at that time she was a Bergin. There is a bit of controversy and mystery with the thought that he went to war with one name and returned with another.

Did Georgina die as Bergin or Kenny?

Thanks all. Yes it is confusing. Dark shadows in the closet and all. Looked at freebdm and found a Georgina born in 1868 which makes her an old mum at that time.

This looks like the death of their son. Why don't Australians put dates on their information!

Deaths 1787-1985

George Henry Kenny
Death Place: Western Australia
Age: 82
Father's Name: John H
Mother's Name: Georgina
Registration Place: Perth, Western Australia
Registration Number: 4549/75

Mmm..........seen those and I'm as confused as you I think!

Hmmm Astra, there are two trees on Ancestry (same tree owner) and one tree has her marrying Kenny in 1895 Georgina' birth date 1876 and his death 1902

The other tree has her birth date as 1880 and marrying Bergin in 1900

A little confusing!
