Thank you Cando.

I only found out about the pm option today through rootschat and have already moved my queries there.

Hi.

Mum has everything Grandma had she tells me.

She's going to see if there's anything Grandma may have forgotten about but I have the written notes on James and Frances that Grandma had and she seemed to only have put in the information she was sure of.

Myrtle has mentioned a couple of things that happened around the time they were in Loch but definitely some sort of estrangement occurring there somewhere.

I met my great grandmother a few times when I was little, we have the 4 generation photo taken when I was about 8.  She was the first family member I knew of who had died and we weren't allowed to go to the funeral.

Considering it's family affairs, maybe Myrtle didn't really want to say much about her mother-in-law?

I have a question that's not directly involving Frances, but do you know much about your uncle Lindsay Clarke?  Details after January 1944?

All interesting.

Talking to Mum about this yesterday and I find that Frances Beatrice Whitticombe and James Patrick Clarke actually lived at Loch for some years.

James moved in with Myrtle Annie Craythorn [my great grandmother who died in 1972] and her husband Lindsay Gordon [Samuel] Clarke at Loch/Almurta until his death but Mum isn't sure whether it was because his wife had died or not.    James was still living there when he died and the place of death probably was the Wonthaggi hospital. 

Myrtle told Mum this.

I noticed today that someone in the Townsend family also has very little information about Frances and has her listed as marrying a Whittaker.

That's my uncle.   My mother is his older sister.

I take it you've had him look at grandma's stuff then?

I probably can't do much more than that myself.

A quick family tree.
Frances Beatrice Whitticombe mother of Lindsay Gordon [Samuel] Clarke, father of Isabel Nellie Frances who is my grandmother.
She is now 90 but might have something in her family tree gear.
Frances was her grandmother so I guess you two would be cousins.

You're talking about my great great grandmother.  Frances Beatrice Whitticomb married James Patrick Clarke on 23/5/1884 at Stathalbyn SA according to my grandmother's records.
Frances was believed born on 29/6/1856or61 and died June 1935.
James Patrick Clarke was buried at Grantville in Victoria after his death on 9/5/1943.

I may be able to find something more if Grandma has it but since she's in a nursing home now I'm not sure how I'd go.

Your Alice was the sister of my great grandfather Lindsay Gordon [Samuel] Clarke.

Does this help?
