Hi,
My father is also grandchild of Muriel Jean Deed. Was your grandfather Harold Stanley also known as Cyril? There are electoral roll records that report C.Begbie, Jean, Keith and Elma in 1954. All at address 196 Glenhuntly rd, Elsternwick (ref post reply #38 from cando).
Does this information tie in with yours unipen?

Regards,
Sheryl

Regarding Jean Muriel Newman (nee Blakey nee Deed) and maybe Begbie?
(note plaque at S'vale mentions children Peg and Keith.. this would be Keith Begbie I presume)
We know from her birth cert (courtesy weemalla) her mother was Amelia Deed (nee Button)
We know from her marriage to JS Blakey ( I have reg. entry) her mother was known as Amelia Deed (assuming there were no sisters called Amelia that witnessed the marriage)
We know from cando: (apologies for not quoting.. how do I quote just a section?)
"A possible death for Jean Muriel...age is right....father's full name and mother's surname are correct.

NEWMAN Muriel Jean
Father Deed Benjamin  Mother Mildred  BUTTON
Murrumbeena  80 years  1979  Reg#20523"


So why Mildred Button you ask cando.. If we can prove that Mildred Button in 1979 is the same as Amelia Button born 1882, then I'd feel more confident that the Muriel Jean is Kristy and my great grandmother AND maybe we should be looking for the death of Mildred rather than Amelia, to close weemalla's initial question.

Kristy.. you mentioned 'Pearl and Harold' via fb.. who are they children of?

I have one concern re dates that don't add up. There was a mention of Cyril Begbie marrying in 1919. Jean Muriel didn't run off until 1922.. after the birth of her fourth child to JS Blakey. I'll have to chase this record.

Wow... you people are amazing! Wish I had have found this site sooner.

My cousin put up a post earlier regarding Jean Muriel being our great grandmother and finding info for our grandmothers 90th birthday (Jean Beryl, she didn't like Beryl)

Jean Muriel DEED m Jack Stanley BLAKEY 1915 # 7447
1. Benjamin Stanley b 1916 Caulfield
2. Basil George b 1919 Caulfield
3. Beryl Jean b 1920 Caulfield


Jean Muriel did have a fourth child before she scarpered and my grandmothers knowledge is this (copied from my FTM files):
Muriel left Jack Stanley Blakey when Jean was about 2 years old. She left without taking her children, and stripped the house of everything, including all photos. It is believed Muriel left Jack for Cyril Beggbig. He also left his wife and family. Jean expects the two of them had other children.
Note that this is my grandmothers understanding, and she was two at the time.

Interesting comment from cando re Newman entry... If Muriel did marry Newman and this is the correct death entry.. has anyone checked death index for Mildred Button instead of Amelia.

Funny.. I drive past Springvale cemetary every day.. I'll try and stop and check out Muriel Jean Newman.

For interests sake in this investigation (?) I have included a photo of Muriel Jean Deed, Jack Stanley and son Ben.

Thanks for everyones efforts, you have given me another level on my family history.. which is always exciting. Hope to be able to repay in kind at some stage.

Cheers,
Sheryl
