Australia / Re: Marjorie Callear and son (from UK - 1950s) - where do we start to look?
« on: Saturday 19 July 25 15:17 BST (UK) »Marjorie remarried but her death is recorded as Callear, so she may have divorced Clive Huxley Taylour. When she married him, her son was about 8. Did he take his step-father's surname? Did he retain that surname when Marjorie changed hers back?
Several notices in the Personal announcements section of the The Age, July 21 1976
Beloved and loving husband, Dear father, Beloved youngest son, Dearly loved brother
Dearest Son in Law & loved Brother in Law (these are Marjorie’s family - names match those on 1921 census Marjorie is transcribed as Majoris JAMES 1912 West Bromwich, Staffordshire living in Worcestershire England with her family
Not added names as only know that Marjorie is deceased - unfortunately there is no mention of a stepsonIf you have a subscription the image can be viewed on Anc*y Australia, Newspaper Vital Notices, 1831-2001 here's the link http://www.rootschat.com/links/01tvk/
For info. Marjorie’s mother is on the same 1947 passenger list (line 16) it looks as if she passed away in Australia 1979 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/244334181/margaret-may-james
Perhaps looking for a death notice for Marjorie and/or her family members to see if he's mentioned there
I do not currently have an Ancestry subscription as I only tend to do the family tree during the cold winter months! This is just a challenge that popped up.
Coincidentally, Marjorie's mum is laid to rest at the same cemetery as another Callear (one who is closely related to me but not Marjorie). All that way and yet they end up so close together!!
