Thanks Genboy, that's great info. I've searched for Alfred Hoys formal death records to no avail.
I'd be keen on finding his grave details at Rookwood too, I've already found Margaret Greenwoods.
I'm GG son of these pair.

« on: Wednesday 20 March 19 22:26 GMT (UK) »Ah brother Alfred, he was a successful shopkeeper in Warialda, NSW. His nickname was 'Stephen' as I suspect he was nicknamed after an an older brother Stephen who died in Fulbourn,Cambridge before he was born. His brother (my ancestor) Thomas went from Lambton in Newcastle to build Alfred's store in Warialda in the early 1890s. But in the mid 1890s Alfred fell in love with his housekeeper/nanny Margaret Greenwood and ran away to Pennant Hills, Sydney (near Fulbourne Ave - a giveaway).
He spent a lot of trouble 'not being seen', and it took years of research to track him down; but I found he changed/used the name as just 'ALFRED', and his sons from this relationship took that name as their surname. There are DNA matches to these children's families and mine. He's buried at Rookwood Anglican as Alfred HOY.

'majm' put forward the possibility the Charters Towers, George Hoy d1922 was from the one from the 1855 'Constitution' from Cambridge England, and I think he maybe. He was my GG Uncle. He has been missing from the records from 1867 (George Hood M date), where he was a baker from Mailtand, NSW (near me), with brothers Alfred and Thomas Hoy (matches his children's names). I stumbled across him in QLD records and tracked him back to the AKA George Hood marriage in Sydney. Then I got his D cert from QLD, which states he's from Maitland, NSW. His brother William was running bad debts and using George's name, so I suspect he used a pseudonym to escape court action. Another of his brother's changed his name too and hid in Sydney, dodging all record keeping - its a family thing:) Although not conclusive, the born in Maitland on his D cert is compelling. I think I'll get the M cert and some children's B certs for more info. getting expensive if I'm wrong.
Please prove me wrong or otherwise. Comments?
