I'm seeking any info regarding death of Michael Paulos SERGIS a Greek or Greek Cypriot national who came to Australia C1920. He was sponsored by one Ilias CHRISTOU who may or may not have been a relative (Source NAA). SERGIS was issued with Alien Regn Cert No 62 at Vestey's in Darwin (Source NAA) and married in Cairns in 1930,but the registration records his name as Michael PAULOS.
He was reputably murdered in Cairns during an attack/robbery at a Newsagents in 1934 or 1935.
I have searched using name combinations in Qld BDM,TroveNLA site (Newspaopers),Cairns Cemetery records all to no avail.
Thank you in anticipation

To Wilson, Jessie Arclisse

Hi there,
Michael may have been buried at Tully. Jessie was living there in 1943 (electoral roll), and this post also might indicate that they were residing in Tully.

You will need to contact the Cassowary Coast Regional Council http://www.cassowarycoast.qld.gov.au/
Do you need info about Jessie after this marriage?

I had a look at our Tully Cemetery CDs at QFHS library today. Couldn't pick up either Micahel or Jessie.
I looked for SERGIS and PAULOS and also by Michael and Jessie, latter with no names which could be remotely mistaken for these two surnames.
These CDs are only MIs and photos and headstones, so they may be buried there without headstones, of course.

Hi Dawn,
Jessie was buried in Cairns as Jessie Arclisse HOWE after she remarried, but can't see any possibilities for Michael there.

I was having doubts about this being him, but the man Jessie appears with on later electoral rolls is Henry Charles HOWE - could they be Jess and Henry?
Mick is buried as Mihail DIMITRIPONLOUS - a good try I guess!

Debra,
I see in the Cairns Post for 30th June 1944 a Jessie Arelose Poulos was charged with asault, this would have been Michael's wife, it seems that Poulos was commonly substituted for Poulas.
It might be him but the murder was supposed to have happened in 1934/35.
Some info for ozcornman to consider.

Gerry the 1934/35 death date given does coincide with the second time that Jessie's child was placed into care and then adopted, so I wonder if the story hasn't become a little confused over time (as they do), with the two events being presumed to have happened at the same time. My vote is that this is the correct person, and his death cert might provide evidence of his marriage.
Excellent find, by the way!
Debra :)

Thanks Debra, I think its the correct person as well and further to your burial information for Milail there is a Qld death registration.

Thank you,thank you one and all and please excuse my absence from the forum,but I'm in Brisbane and been preoccupied lately with stuff called H2O...too much H2O. I think every one knows I'm referring to the catastrophic floods we have just experienced. I survived the 1974 lot in another location, and had a few anxious days recently, when the water levels came up. I'm ok,but my friend on whose behalf I started this post was possibly going to go under,but he's safe and well. He had water lapping at his property in the 1974 flood and this time was saved by subsequent development around his place and maybe the big Wivenhoe Dam???
My friend has been looking for the details of Michael P ( How many names can you have? This guy was Heckel & Jekyll on steroids!!!) for some years and knew of his demise ,but was not certain of the date,so we apologise for making the task difficult for everybody from the start. And the variations in surname made it interesting too!
So thank you again Sue,Gerry,Cando,Dawn M. and Debra for your wonderful assistance. As they say in the classics...."If its on Roots Chat..it works!"
Debra
My friend would like to correspond with you regarding Jessie,to whom he is related. He is open to exchange info,but he is computer-less,so if you PM me, we can work out how that can happen.
Thank you again

Unfortunately the dates fall outside the range of indexes, so it is unknown whether Jessie and Henry were actually married. I think Jessie's death certificate would be worth having a look at if you don't already have it, especially to find details of children.
Glad to hear you got through the big wet ok.

Hi Debra
My friend's Grandmother is Jessie's Sister and he wonders are you related to Auntie Phyllis who married Uncle Wally MORGAN?
Thanks
