Just nudging up in the hope that Amanda will see this as she has not responded to this thread or a PM. Seems a pity for her to miss out on the info. that she was after...

HI all, I've sent a PM to Amanda asking her to return to the thread and give us some feedback on the information found so far.

OOOH I just found this:

It seems that Rookwood Cemetery is the family cemetery (Priscilla is there also). You can join the website for Rookwood Cemetery and then do a deceased search. You may find out a lot more there..I have tried but my pc is playing up!

There are a number of other notices for this person but with these names, these must be a connection I asusme to the great aunt Tirzah...

Now there is a tree on Ancestry with Percy's details and Dorothy as his spouse but not much else. I'll pm you with the contact details for them if you Ancestry access.

Hope that all helps a bit. ..

This wa sthe only Dorothy Walker & Moran marriage I found:

Name: Dorothy M Walker
Spouse Name: Percy F Moran
Marriage Date: 1932
Marriage Place: New South Wales
Registration Place: Burrowa, New South Wales
Registration Year: 1932
Registration Number: 6899

Ahh silly sytem just crashed..

Okay first of all I would think that the Tirah mentioned in the death notice was born after 1910 and therefore will not be shown on the NSW searches as they display only to 1910.

I'll keep going see what turns up!

HI Amanda, I'll keep hunting and see what I can find!

You can message me if you want me to check up other stuff, happy to help.

However I don't think Dorothy married the Moran I looked at in the death registrations as the parents didn't match.

Helen if you found anything else can you advise what you sent through by PM (just so I don't repeat any work you have done)

Cheers

Thanks Helen,
I've kind of lost wind now having had an official email from Genes Reunited because I've been reported for asking about the same person twice.

Being a novice to this ,I thought I was helping by posting info I'd been given to further my search further.

I am sure us novices are tiresome to you experts (I don't mean this directed at you Helen) but being reported for wasting your time ,kind of feels like being bullied by those that know the ins and outs of researching.
I really appreciate the help that is given on the'Community'. I just wish people who are such experts could be a little more forgiving towards us novices.
Thank you for all help given.

Thanks for that Helen, all help and advice appreciated. :-)

Hi Grace,

Me again!

I have just found out some information from my senile Mother so it is not reliable.

She says that Tirzah R Moran is unmarried so possibly her Mother Dorothy M Walker married A Mr Moran??

There was mention of a sister Rachel born c1938 too.

thanks
