Hello thereTrooper
As Rootschat is about the deceased and not really about the living, what sort of information are you chasing.
Do you want to know when and if they died etc?
If so we need a bit more to proceed with. What was John's year of birth, did he have any middle names?, where was he born and who were his parents. The same information for his wife please
thanks Jenn

Hi
It appears you have sourced the addresses from Ancestry Electoral Rolls...as you have named the sub districts.
I see no registrations for the name CALVALEY on
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/search.htm
for either John or his wife Jessie Eleanor. Nothing on the Ryerson Index .http://www.rootsweb.com/~nswsdps/dpsindex.htm
Cheers

Hi,
Using the spelling CALVELEY, there are some registrations on the site given by cando.
Includes Jessie Eleanor's death in 1947. Parents names given.
John Stanley's death whose father is John and he is also listed.
There are others.
Take a look.
Ryerson also has a couple of CLAVELEY's

Was he a son of your John?

Thanks for noticing the incorrect spelling Sue....I thought I copied and pasted the name from the topic heading into the indexes..... Came up spot on Electoral rolls. :-\
Good finds Sue.

Well cando,
It is most unlike me to notice spellings very much and I spend a lot of time pressing the modify button to fix my gigantic mistakes in my own posts.
Pissed instead of passed and such like.
Have been known to spend a day searching fruitlessly for a person I've spelt wrong throughout every search engine. :'(
I never thought to just paste the name in. I'll try it now.

From Australian Electoral Rolls 1900-1936
CALVELEY John Bourke Street Parramatta Rigger
CALVELEY Jessie Eleanor ditto Home duties
CALVELEY John 368 Maylands Road, Maylands Labourer
CALVELEY Jessie Eleanor ditto Home duties
From Passenger Record
John 43 Occupation Rigger, with wife Jessie 42 , and children Winifred 20, John !6, Eric 10 and Rex 1. Also on the same passenger number a Mrs Sarah HUGHES aged 64 - all last address 54 St Anne Street, Birkenhead.
Looking at the marriage of John and Jessie on free bdm I see her maiden name was HUGHES - is this her mother on the passenger list.
Surprising what one can find when one uses the correct spelling ;D ;D ;D
Cheers
