Title: Cootamundra NSW - Jeanie (Jane) Caskie nee Beattie b1879 Scotland
Post by: Yvonne_W on Saturday 01 August 15 13:18 BST (UK)

Looking for a death or burial record for Jeanie Caskie nee Beattie in NSW. She arrived in Australia with her son & his family in 1952 aged 72. She is on the electoral roll in Cootamundra NSW IN 1958.

Many thanks.

That's wonderful - thank you so much. Its definitely the correct person, parents tally. And Christina Caskie is Janes daughter in law. I know nothing about Australian records so would never have found these!
Thanks again.

White Pages (telephone directory) shows 4 entries in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT)for that surname.  Look under residential.

http://www.whitepages.com.au/

If you search TROVE newspapers you will find a few snippets but not much more than already found although, perhaps, one of the grandchildren mentioned in a death notice may be in some photos.  I searched using just the surname and then choosing ACT newspapers from the "Refine your search"  box at the left of the page.
