I am tracing descendants of IRENE AUDREY Cronin nee CARRISON born 1898, and died 1977 Age 79 in Kew. She married CYRIL FREDERICK CRONIN 1918.
Irene known as "Nell" had two daughters Thelma and Iris Cronin
i. THELMA AUDREY CRONIN, b. 1919, Carlton; m. NEWING.
ii. IRIS CRONIN, m. BUCKLAND. (USA)
Nell took many 8 mm movies and I am hoping some have survived.
My connection goes back to Mary Ann Wilding.

The name CRONIN got my attention, thought I might be able to help, but Cyril Cronin doesn't ring a bell with me. My maiden name is Cronin and my forebears settled in NSW when they came out from Ireland.

Irene Audrey CRONIN does not appear on any electoral rolls with her husband at the same address. Did they separate early in the marriage? There is a Cyril Frederick CRONIN on the 1949 NSW electoral roll, but really no way of knowing if it is Irene's husband.

Names of any issue of Thelma and John's marriage should be detailed on Thelma's death certificate.

Hopefully Thelma's death certificate will give you some leads to further your search for descendants.

1929: Divorce for Irene Audrey CRONIN age 30 Of Alexandra Pde and Cyril Frederick CRONIN, 30, motor driver, previously of Melbourne shown in NLA digitised newspapers.
http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/4050446?searchTerm=cyril+cronin
There are other mentions of a Cyril CRONIN who was a bit of a naughty man, mostly in Qld but no way of knowing if it is the same chap (on looking at the chap in Qld it's possible he is too young). A couple of Melbourne mentions also which may be him.
