Mary and john are the parents of jane veronica gratton who was born in graytown victoria in 1878 and died 1st of sep 1954. Jane veronica is the second wife of arthur hangan and i have alot of information on them both but with the various spellings of GRATTON, GRATTEN, GRATTAN, i have found it very confusing to find much on her parents. Any help would be greatly apprieciated cheers, julie.

Thanks heaps, yes i have jane veronicas death cert and it states her parents names and marriage etc but i would love to get a date on mary or johns deaths or births so that i can order there certs, but there were a few of them and i am unsure which to order. Cheers, julie :)

Hopefully Jane's Victorian birth cert will have details of her parents marriage, their ages, full names (including nee), her dad's occupation, where Jane's mum and dad were both born, etc and of course details of any older siblings for Jane, where (as in an address) Jane was born, etc.
Fingers crossed
Cheers, JM

Oh cheers for that :) i just had an email from a distant relative of janes death certificate but it only stated her birth/death/marriage details and a sister and her parents names. I will get a copy myself in case some info was left out. Thankyou again, julie.

I am suggesting you get Jane's BIRTH CERT .... ;D
Reason : This is (first hand) information Jane's Mum or Dad provided about themselves when registering her birth.
Cheers, JM

This link will show you the info you can expect to find on BDM certificates in Victoria

As JM has said, the birth cert of one of their children or John and Mary's marriage cert will provide more reliable information than a death certificate.
This may be their marriage in Victoria:
John GRATTEN
Mary O'SULLIVAN
Married 1867

Firstly i would like to say thankyou so much, even the smallest information can bring a smile to someones face and you guys spend your days doing that :) i went to seymour a few weeks ago and found mary and john at the pioneer cemetery. There graves had been damaged but there names were on a wall plaque. I was unable to find janes at the old cemetery. So thankyou all again for your patience with someone who is at the moment suffering from baby brain ;) i now have all of these new avenues to explore which should keep me busy, i am beyond excited :) cheers, julie.
