Australia / Ernest Rouse/ Rowse
« on: Saturday 16 August 25 02:29 BST (UK)  »
We are working on a database of mine fatalities here in Blackball,  New Zealand.
Ernest Rouse died on the 25th Oct 1908 in a mine collapse.
All that is known is he was 30 and came from Adamstown,  NSW.
I need to eliminate, or confirm that he is in fact  the Ernest Rowse born in NSW Lambton  to Joseph Rouse  /Rowse and Jane Viol in 1877 17378.
Hopefully some knows what happened to this Ernest.
We would love to connect our Ernest with home.
As with a lot of these mining deaths the informant was his crib mate, so no information  for the death certificate
Hopefully...

Her father George died in 1946 nz,  and she is mentioned in his obituary as Ettie McCabe.

Is there a mention of her in any of her siblings obituary's? Might help narrow some dates down to find a death for her and or a definite surname if she remarried etc.

None of the obituaries are on line or digitalised at this stage unfortunately. no wills or probates at archives found either at this stage

Perhaps Ettie is a familiar for Esther?
Yes, they are both the same person. Esther seems to be a mistranscription of Hesba

The Westport papers haven't been digitalised yet.
The obituary notice is transcribed on Family search.
The Ettie, name is referred to there.
There are two researchers that have researched her family but Pearl  just disappears.
I'll post the links when I get home from work
