Hi
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction.i am a member of ancesrty.com and cannot find anymore info..
I have so far is her name Muriel Essie Phillips...she married Allan William Arthur Richards in 1930 Kurri kurri NSW
Allan then passed away in 1932 and she remarried in 1937 to a John Lee.
We cannot seem to find anything about her Birth Death or Parents..
Any help in maybe pointing me as to where I should look would be great
Thank
Rhys

Hiya Rhys - is Essie a nickname for Esther - or was her name Essie ?
added
could you post her year and place of death please
OK found that - 1965 in Kurri Kurri ( for other members to see - Muriel Essie Lee )
.....................................................................
Muriel is buried in Kurri Kurri General Cemetery - if there is a headstone it may give her birthdate ??
-
Do you have names of siblings?

You'll find a photo of her headstone here: http://austcemindex.com/?given_names=muriel&family_name=lee&state=NSW
what a great site - just looked at the photo of Muriels grave - says she was 54 when she died in 1965 - so we now know she was born 1910 / 1911
great work that Jamjar and thank you for that site - definitely one site to note down -
I am sure Rhys will be pleased to see that photo of the grave of Muriel ... :)

You're welcome.
I can't find a birth for her or for any siblings to a John and Elsie Phillips in NSW.

neither could I - and I couldn't find any children to Allan Richards and Muriel Essie - so if Rhys was looking for info of "his grandads wife " and his grandad died in 1932 - I presume Muriel was his Second wife and he had children to his first wife ??
I am a little puzzled - doyou think I have that right ?.....or have I veered off track ?

You can only search for births on line until mid 1916, so you won't find birth's after that.
What I can't find are births to Muriel's folks that would be online, as is it indicated that Muriel was born 1910ish.
There is a Muriel E, but born to a father William.

Either of the marriage certificates would give you Muriel's age and place of birth, her parents names including her mother's maiden name and father's occupation. Information given by her which would be more accurate than information on her death certificate. Info on death certificates is only as accurate as the knowledge of the informant.
You can purchase a transcription of certificates in NSW for $20 from an accredited transcription agent. The transcript is emailed to you.
