I am trying to find if a June Lillian Turner (nee Mills) married to John Armstrong Turner had any children. They were married in 1942 at Nth Sydney and lived in or around Rose Bay. John was in the Airforce in WW11 came out in 1945. He was born in the Hunter Valley. June was born in Box Hill Victoria her parents were Sophie Adelaide Mills (nee Unmack) her father George Mills. They came from Bendigo. June's grandmother was Lily Unmack, her uncles were Charles, Jules & Harry.
I have searched news papers BDM for both NSW and Victoria and I am unable to find anything further. The only thing I could find was at least I think Sophie's Death Notice she died in the Sutherland Hospital in Carringbah and was buried as a pauper. It all seems quite strange. They seem to have disapearred. If anyone can be of any assistance to me I would be most grateful. I would love to hear from someone that may have known them or family that is still alive. My grandfather was Charles Unmack. June is a second cousin.

Hi Lyn,
I am afraid we are unable to help with living persons. Do you know that June and John are deceased? If not I am afraid I will have to remove the thread.

Hi Kris
I would imagine that June & John are both deceased.
I am trying to find where they are buried and when they died. Could possibly be they were divorced not sure - it is quite a mystery to me.

Hi Lyn,
They were married in 1941 - http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/searchHistoricalRecords.htm
A John Armstrong TURNER died in South Australia in September 1963, but no sign of a June - she may have remarried. Perhaps someone can find a burial record and age for this John to see if he is a possibility.

1949 and 1954 Electoral rolls show John (clerk) and June (home duties) at 75 Chaleyer St, Rose Bay NSW
1954 is the extent of my access.

Hi Judith
I actually new that they were on the electoral roll in 1954 they lived in Challeyer St Rose Bay. Obviously they must have gone to SA from what Dundee has let me know
Much appreciated.

Hi Cando & Kris
Thankyou so much for all the details.
Now I am going to have to find if June his wife remarried and to whom! If it was in NSW or SA or even if she came back to Victoria.
This continues to be rather a big mystery as none of my family ever spoke of her.
She was June Lilian Mills prior to her marriage to John. I believe that her mother Sophie Mills (nee Unnack) died a pauper in 1966 in the Sutherland Hospital Carringbah NSW.
Once again thankyou - Lyn
