Hi
I'm trying to find the death of Nelly Price, who was born on the 16th Feb 1894 in Queensland. Her parents were Cecil William Price & Bridget Mary Kinnane. Bridget died in 1952 and on her death certificate it says that she had 1 daughter who is deceased. I've looked on Trove & BDM, but can not find anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Raewyn :)

There is 58 years between Nelly's birth and Bridget's death. Have you looked for a marriage?
-
Hi
Yes. I've looked on BDM, Ancestry & Find my Past.
-
Didn't finish that sentence. I couldn't find a marriage for her.
-
Do you know when Cecil William died? and if so, do you have his death certificate. If he died a number of years prior to his wife, that will narrow the timeframe to search for Nellie's death.
-
Just out of interest, I see that a
CHARLES JAMES PRICE born 28 Dec 1905 Queensland, mother Bridget Mary Price, father just shown as PRICE along with a
death of a CHARLES JAMES PRICE 05 June 1906 only mother's name shown as BRIDGET MARY PRICE.
-
About the death certificate you have for BRIDGET.
Could you give more particulars of it please.
When you say she states "one deceased Daughter" do we take that to mean "one deceased child?" or are you only mentioning that there was one daughter?
Where was Bridget buried?
What was her last address? (even a district may help)
What was her marital status at time of death?
There are at least two women of the name on the E. Rolls.
I have not yet seen William Cecil Price with either of them.

Oops meant to add. :-[ Nelly may also be an abbreviated form of Eleanor etc. Perhaps have a look under another name.

This man was granted a pension after he joined the WW1 forces .
Also allowed was his son-
WILLIAM CECIL SYMONS
They were living at Cairns at this time. There is a daughter-Mildred mentioned too.

Hi
Cecil William Price died in 1949 in Wellington, New Zealand. From what I have so far it looks like he came to NZ around 1916 without Bridget. I have his marriage certificate to Bridget Mary. They were married on the 16th Jan 1893 at St Stephen's Cathedral, Brisbane. I also have his Will and Nelly is not mentioned in it, but Bridget is.
Bridget Mary died on the 5th March 1952 at Mollison Street, West End, Queensland. Her body wasn't discovered for 2 days. On her death certificate where it has 'Children' it says 1 female deceased. Bridget is buried at South Brisbane Cemetery.
The other Bridget Mary that comes up is her mother.
Nelly is her birth name. Nelly/Nellie is a common name in my family.
Yes, I did see another child to Bridget born in 1905, but have not researched it.
Thanks all

Hi Sue
That could be her. Even though her birth name was registered as Nelly, my grandmother was an Ellen, but everyone called her Nellie. Same with a great great Aunty. And Cecil William's birth name is William Cecil. He changed it when he arrived in Australia from the UK.
I'll look further into it.
Thanks heaps
Raewyn :)

Who is the informant for the 1952 death certificate please.....and knows that a daughter is deceased?
When did Cecil d. 1949 make out his will.....as indication of when Nellie, not mentioned, might be dead?.
-
Well done AKA Neil on finding Nelly/Ellen marriage registration. By the way, how's that Man Cold going :'( Bonnie
-
Yes. Thank you Neil.

The informant on her death certificate is Rockton Price, my great uncle. I'm trying to fine his son, who maybe a live, to see if he has any information.
Sorry there is no date on Cecil's Will to say when it was written.
Thanks.
-
Yes. Thank you Neil.

This would be very unusual if you don't mind my saying so.

Now, I am a little uncertain about the WW1 SYMONS man connection
???
The mother of the two children mentioned in the pension allowance for William SYMONS is Ellen (nee) SULLIVAN
Qld BMD shows they were born before 1910.
The William SYMONS of the war record therefore is probably another of the same name married to a woman named Ellen who is not Ellen PRICE :-\
