Perhaps you might give us a little bit more to work with ;)
Do you know when and where they were born or married etc
What time frame are we looking at
do you mean she died at Young in NSW or that she died young?
thanks Jenn

Hi hd,
If you haven't already done so, you can find births, deaths, and marriages for this family in the online Queensland indexes https://www.bdm.qld.gov.au/IndexSearch/mainMenuSubmit.m?main_menu=IndexSearch
I seems that Emily Jane and Samuel died within 12 months of each other in 1901 and 1902 and are buried at the Toowong Cemetery.
There are a LOT of people reseaching this family who have posted detailed family trees online at Ancestry, and perhaps you are one, but if not, this site can be accessed free of charge at most public libraries in Australia. Contact with relatives would be the best way to find and share family photos.
Queensland archives may be able to help with enquiries about children who were orphaned http://www.archives.qld.gov.au/research/indexes.asp
Perhaps a general enquiry here might also help to find records http://www.jewishqld.com/Home/contacts

Emily Jane's death notice http://www.rootschat.com/links/0b0i/
It seems that Samuel died from a broken heart http://www.rootschat.com/links/0b0h/
Emily had quite a lot of family around, are you sure that they did not look after the children when their parents died?
Debra :D

Thank you everyone for your quick replies ;) Sorry i didn't put in to much info, i do know a little about Samuel and Emily.I have been to Toowong cemetery which was very interesting as they are surrounded by many family there which is a wealth of info as well. My interest comes from there daughter Clara,may be they were living just with Jewish family and friends after mother died.Have been told all children went to foster care except Clara who was sent to a Industrial Home for girls???also i have never seen photos of Samuel and Emily none in our family albums .
BIG thanks to everyone who have replied your information and leads are very welcomed CHEERS... ;D

The AIF database shows that Clara is listed as NOK for her brother Jacob
The address shown on the WW1 record lists Clara's address as c/1 of Mrs Quesnell, Merthyr road, New Farm
Ethel May Quesnell and Charles Fredrick Quesnell appear at this address on the electoral rolls

Helen.
Pleased to be able to help.
I see there was a Baron Grimish as well in Brisbane in the 1921 & 1925 Electoral Rolls and he was in WA 1910 & 1916 then Sydney 1836 & 37.
Baron (35) also appeared on the 1895 Electoral Roll in Brisbane as well.

Thanks again Gerry, you are very helpfull.I think Baron Grimish was Samuel's nephew,the son of Isadore Grimish (i think) i have come across his name before.I am trying to find out what happened to Samuels and Janes children after the mum died 1901.one thing i have been able to find thanks to all the great researchers is Clara (my gran) was at New Farm State School 1901 and so was her brother Bernard Aaron,so may be she did live in Jewish foster care around New Farm Thanks again gee this things just get deeper and deeper don't they. CHEERS ;)

Helen,
I can see from the Queensland Schools Pupils Index that Clara Grimish and Bernard Grimish (registered as Barnard) were pupils at New Farm State School in 1901.
