Dundee I do think this might be her. Mother is Jane and father is David. I was hopeful that after years of taking a break from research, more information might be available online.

Cass it's been a while since I researched my own, I forgot about my earlier posts Thanks

Australia / Jane Scott Bett Death
« on: Monday 24 November 25 02:42 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there

I could do with some help please. I am looking for the death of Jane Scott Bett (spinister) born 1902 Kinross, Scotland and I believe died in Hornsby, Sydney, NSW. Jane was last seen on the 1980 census, Masonic Towers, Lower Road, Berowra,  Hornsby, NSW. As far as I am aware Jane was living alone. Uncertain if she had family in the area.

i have searched Ancestry, Australian Cemeteries Index, Find a Grave. Trove, NSW Government  family history search. Where else can I look for this information

Thanks

hanes teulu, Andy J2022, rosie99 & jonwarn

Thanks so much for responding and for the clarity.

hanes tewlu, i think it maybe the difference between where one sources their records. I have (ancestry) place of death at 15 Thistle Grove and couldn't decide if this was his residence or where he died - he's a builder by trade so I thought it possible, it may have been a work site. Electoral register seem to differ from how the census is taken

Jonwarn Yes, I think this is Thomas's father you refer to in the newspaper clipping. Thanks for the information. I'm still working my way back and although I know Thomas's fathers name is Thomas, it's as far as I have got.

Which newspaper site do you's recommend for research, usually a good source of information. I use our online paper often for NZ research, it is free though - thankfully.

Andy J2022 Thanks for elaborating further. Although a complicated system, your explanation makes sense and understandable now how Thomas name still appeared on the ER, even after death. Also of interest - who's entitled to vote. On the 1851 Middlesex census Charlotte (wife of Thomas) is listed as Proprietor of houses, I wonder if they may have owned the properties listed - research for another day!

rosie99, I think you might be right, now that I have read all responses.

Thank you all for you help

London and Middlesex / Electroal Register
« on: Sunday 09 November 25 00:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi There

Thomas Burt Long born 1801 London. Thomas died in Dec 1848 CRDI  & was buried 14 Dec 1848 Cemetery Register, Bromptom London

On the 1841 Census Thomas is living at Little Britain St Botolph Aldersgate, Cripplegate, Middlesex, London with wife Charlotte and children John. James Katherine & Frank

On the Electoral Register Thomas is living at 48 Little Britain London

Thomas is at London St James 27-30, 32-34 St James Square and in the same years can be at 4-8 Half Moon Passage, Aldersgate Street. I’m uncertain what this means.

I don’t know if I have 2 Thomas Burt Longs. There is a son Thomas Balicourt (not Burt) Long. I’ve not found another birth or death for Thomas Burt Long


According to https://www.thelondonarchives.org/your-research/research-guides/electoral-registers#:~:text=The%20qualifying%20date%20is%20the%20most%20important,coming%20into%20force%20in%20the%20following%20February/March.
From 1832 -1949 the qualifying date when register was taken is usually from June/July each year and the Register then comes into force at the end of the year.

Thomas is on the 1849 -51 Electoral Register London St James and I am hoping someone maybe able to explain how this is possible when he died in Dec 1848.Wouldn't you need to alive to be on the Electoral Register or is this possibly properties he owns in his name still and that's why it's listed as I did note woman weren't listed on the Register.

Your help is appreciated

Regards

World War Two / Re: German Autopsy reports WWII

Yes, I just modified my post realising they can't be requested. Three positive cases are an achievement. I know Martijn has gone to great lengths to find proof etc regarding this airmen. It's not easy.
Not the same but I did research a young man in NZ who went to war under his brothers name and CWGC confirmed my findings but it was a lot of work but easier than trying to prove an unknown identity.

Good on you for researching and attempting to identify casualties, it is not easy but extremely meaningful. Thanks for your help

Thanks Phillip

I've just read the documents are not online (as you said, not available to the public) Can they be requested and if so, what is the criteria please. Opps just realised, the documents can't be requested.
I will pass your advice on
