If anyone can help with a birth for Thelma, I'd be very grateful. She married in NSW in 1936. She died in 2007 and her age was given as 90. Her second name was given as Irene in the newspaper Death notice.
The lady I am helping at our family history volunteer group has no idea where she was born, and is going to get a marriage transcription. However, I know some of you kind RC-ers have access to information that just may give us her birth and her parents' names.
Fingers crossed! ;D

Hi Dee,
Would that 1935 marriage be to Archibald C T Moss, ref #17714, registered Carcoar?
I will try to help, and as I am back at home with my offline NSW resources, fingers crossed I can find some info on them both.
Cheers, JM
-
Spot on, JM....and many thanks. :)

If she was born in NSW in 1917, she should be on the old fiche copy of the birth index which ran to 1918 although the online index only runs to 1911.

This may be her husband's birth in NSW.

NSW ER 1903 MACQUARIE, polling at Carcoar (there were many other polling places in that electorate)
NONE for surname Crain; None for surname Moss.
There are several with surname MOSS at the Lyndhurst polling place in that electorate
I will have a good look tomorrow.
Perhaps eregli_gene has access to the old fiche copy and can look for her there this evening.
Cheers, JM

Thanks Sue.
The lass I'm helping has all the information on Archibald's background. She's done well in tracking him back.

If we can find a connection for Thelma to the Crain families of Adelong, Mt Adrah, Gundegai etc, there's a website I've found that could be very helpful to further research.

Some of us have other resources ;D

Brilliant, thanks Merlin! :D :D
You'll have made the lass I'm helping very happy. With that information she'll now be able to make more progress by herself.
(Our volunteer group doesn't do all the work for people who come in to the local library Family History sessions.....we just try to point them in the right direction and give them a little help along the way. :D )
Dee.....who shall now switch off for the night! ;D
-
Well found Merlin.
Bruce S & Ada M CRAIN. ;D
Cheers, JM

Welcome from me too
I have looked at my NSW Electoral rolls and other offline resources. I will post re CRAIN and MORTON circa 1903 and 1913 tomorrow morning ....
PS I have not ever knowlingly met face to face ANY RChatter so you are one up on me and I am so pleased that you have met Dee for (in my humble opinion) Dee will guide and give good counsel with a smile and good humour and with respect for the protocols rules guidelines and practices of this fantastichobby of family history.
May you enjoy the journey as much as the delight when you reach each point along the way.
Cheers JM PPS Dee is not allowed to blush as I wont permit it well as I am in NSW and it is evening thats 2 reasons why I cant see SA from here.

NSW ER 1913 COOTAMUNDRA, polling at Gundagai
CRANE, Ada May, Spring Flat, dd
CRANE, Bruce Stanley, Spring Flat, groom

MORTON, Arthur Ernest, Gundagai, painter
MORTON, George Frederick, Spring Flat, butcher
MORTON, John Alfred, Gundagai, labourer
MORTON, Julia, Spring Flat, dd
MORTON, Mary, Gundagai, dd
NSW ER 1903 HUME, polling at Gundagai
MORETON
Anne, Hanley st, dd

Just a quick update have found lots of info including my husbands great great grandparents on both his parents sides and grand parents side once found thelmas maiden name I actually found a family tree of hers once again thank you everyone for your help it is very contagious and was up till 1am this morning searching
-
I did warn you it could be addictive, Rodken! ;D ;D
We've been very happy to help you.
Dee :)
-
Yes but what a fantastic addiction ... and with no cure in sight nor any medical research being undertaken to look for one. And RChat to help feed the addiction and to help others with similar addictions ...
Cheers JM

Not sure what "other resources" Merlin was using, I went to the library today and I can confirm that she appears in the fiche copy of the "Pioneers Index", which runs to 1918,
as
Thalma (sic) I Crain, 1917, parents Bruce S and Ada M, registered at Gundagai, reg 1917/23127
Not sure how many libraries still have these fiches, very useful for looking for births between 1911 and 1918.
-
thank you any info found is a bonus, still learning and its great that wonderful people who know what they are doing can pass on info and where to look etc once again a big thank you im definately hooked traced husbands family history

Hello, Thelma was my grandfathers sister. My grandfathers name is Cecil. My dad remembers Aunty Thelmas husband Archibald and apparently Archibald was famous for making a cup of tea but by the time they got the cup of tea it would be cold. Just a little bit of info that my dad Stephen Crain told me tonight when I asked him about Aunty Thelma. Would love to know if anybody has information about Ada ( Morton), my great grandmother. Thanks in advance, Kerry.

Hello Kerry.
Welcome to Rootschat. :)
Hopefully Rodken will get an email to tell her that''s there a new post on this thread. However, what you need to do is post twice more on this thread and then you will be able to use the personal message system on here. We're not allowed to post email addresses because of spammers, so it would be good if you could use the Modify button and remove your email address. Otherwise a Moderator will automatically do so.
I've already noted the address as I may be able to get in touch with her through our group at the library where I helped her with her research.
Dee :)

Thank you Dee, much appreciated :) Have deleted my email.

Does anybody have any photos of Ada Morton. I am at a loss with finding anything about her. My grandfather told me she had left the family home and had more children with another man? I am wondering if anybody knows anything about this as well?? Thanking you for all your time
