My great Aunt Myra Ethel Ann Golley (1902-1957) who lived and died in Port Lincoln South Australia, married a Gus Linquist.
There-in lies my dilemma.
All I can find is an Ernest Gustaf Ferdinand Linquist who died on 7 Nov 1955 in South Australia. I am hoping this is my "Gus".
I believe there may have been a daughter named Lorna Linquist.
Any help please?
-
a possibility I guess
Surname: LINQUIST August Norman born 21/9/1890 at Blackwood Adelaide
father Andrew John Linquist mother Isabella Seal
Book 465
Page 184
But SKS may be able to look at the marriage details for his fathers name

Hi Terri
The relative of Myra Ethel Ann named on her death record was Ernest Gustaf Ferdinand LINDQUIST deceased.
Did not find a marriage record in SA up to 1937.

Thanks Essie - I was taking a total 'stab in the dark'. Thank you so much - it does look like the right person. I have a feeling he was probably a friend of Axel Stenross ( who started the Museum in Pt Lincoln)
How do I find death information like you did?
Thanks too, tropicalj, i was looking at those people but just not sure.

Hi Terri,
SA BMD's are available in Book, microfiche and CD. You will find they are available in most libraries in SA and major libraries interstate. They are also available for purchase in all formats. Complete SA BMD's are not available online. Ancestry does have some which they have accessed from publically available sources. They are often incomplete, and should not be trusted for accuracy.
Cheers Kris :)

Hi.
are you saying i can purchase a CD with BMD info for South Australia? Can you tell me how to do this? Is it a comprehensive listing or am I going to be as frustrated as I am now trying to get info from the web?
Thanks
Terri Brown
Sorry if these questions sound lame but it seems like pulling teeth sometimes just trying to know what and who to ask advice from
-
Yes Terri,
They are available to purchase. To get full coverage it is not one disk - there are 6 disks involved for all available civil registrations. (2 for births, 2 for marriages and 2 for deaths) - they are not cheap! If you are interested I suggest you google for suppliers. ;)
Cheers Kris :)

The Museum was created in honour of Axel Stenross a local shipwright by some of Port Lincoln wooden boat historians.
Google - local.yahoo.com.au/search/axel-stenross-maritime.../port-lincoln-sa
I used to visit the slipway when I was a child with my father who was a close fiend of Axel's. I will ask my mother (aged 84) if she remembers any of the Lindquist's.

Hi Jack . My mother came from Pt Lincoln also. Her parents were Mary Alice Maud Golley and Victor Vaino Haapanen. He was also a friend of Axel Stenross and arrived in Pt Lincoln in 1922 on the 'Port Caladonia'.
family rumour says that Mary had quite a reputation for 'playing up' -possibly even with Axel. The large Golley clan married into the Danzic, Berryman, Waters, Kean, Bascombe and Lindquist familys
-
Hi Terry
I have just returned from visiting my mother in Port Lincoln. Unfortunately she has no recollection of the Lindquist name. The Bascombe and Danzic families are still in Port Lincoln and there is Berryman's in nearby Tumby Bay and Lipson.
Sorry I could not assist.
Cheers

Would love to hear form you Terri, My mother's maternal mother was Mary Alice Maud Golley but I have not been able to name her father. I know it was not Victor. She was born in 1939 and died in 1996. She visited Pt Lincoln when her paternal mother passed away but I don't believe she found any answers. I had the name Axel Stenross as a lead ( not from my mother ). You are obviously a 1/2 cousin and I would love to hear from you Regards Wendy

your email address has been removed so makes it hard.My mother was born Marleen but name was changed when she was adopted. I know the next female born was Marleen also. i don't want to put too much on here as my mother was a very private person. It looks like we can PM each other but I need do do 3 postings before I can use this PM thingy and then I have to work it out..and yes I knew that Mum had a sister Valma
-
Ok, now this is my 3rd posting so I'll have to work out this PM thing. Didn't think I would get a reply and my heart is now racing..

Hi...Would her hubby be William C Deavin?
I have MAMG in my tree but I have issues here as well.....it does not seem that there are two of them??
Thanks...James M
-
Just realized, James you are from the decendants of one of Phillipa Morrish family (she who married Zachariah Golley and lived in Mt Gambier)
-
Yes Terri - sent you a PM...as I am confused as it seems that there may be more than one of them?
I have been in touch with Golleys in SA plus I intend to back check a possible Morrish/Morish connection there as well in the near future.
Thanks...James M

I wonder if this 1942 divorce notice would help you...on grounds of adultery and the person is named.

Thanks cando... Yes I found that. Was really exciting. My grandmother certainly lived a wild old life. i have been finding even more children she had (and adopted out when they were born) and I'll be meeting a new cousin i have found when I go to Adelaide in March for some research
