Australia / Re: DWYER of Mia Mia (Vic)
« on: Monday 26 November 18 13:52 GMT (UK) »Hi, This is an earlier post but a name caught my attention. Mary Navin, and the area is similiar to where my ancestor Honorah Navin lived. She arrived on the Eliza Caroline, as an Irish famine orphan in 1850. She married Christopher Montgomerie who was a timber miller and worked in the Kyneton, Bendigo area. Just wondering if Mary Navin and Honorah Navin were related?
I spent ages working on the line of Michael Joseph, only to discover he wasn't who I thought he was, but luckily he turned out to be related, being the son of William Dwyer - I brought William's death certificate last week, to confirm that he was the one to marry Mary Navin. I was so relieved that he was, else I had just wasted nearly three weeks of work on the wrong line. That William, my husband's Patrick, and your Thomas are all brothers, sons of Michael Dwyer and Ellen McCarthy (who lived to 101). Patrick and William were born in Tipperary, Thomas in Melbourne. The usual girls as well, Ellen, Mary, Bridget, Honorah, and another son Michael McCarthy Dwyer who I haven't followed up yet.

Have started looking for census information on this guy to glean more info. Can anyone suggest where to look. I have searched ancestry and TROVE. But there is not much coming up.

Hi All,
Still waiting for the Birth certificate 10743 / 1889 LENARD Stanley ps Edward / Helen Albury. I ordered a hard copy
an image may have been quicker.
I bought this before and I must have thrown it out because it didn't fit what I thought at the time.
It will take 9 weeks to send...it has been 4 weeks so far.
Am making some changes to the Chinese ancestor info. having found Henry John Robert Gee Sing D. 1942 Kangaroo Flat Bendigo - mother Maria Lydia George!!! George Gee Sing was her husband. I think she is the mother of my grandmother Lillian Louisa Agnes Stevens. There is no Mary Ann Solomon. Maria Lydia is all over TROVE Bendigo and Deniliquin.

Oh my...You Ladies are amazing It took me ages to find the bit of info I had.
Preston (once again family recollections) was mentioned by Mum as somewhere that Granny Leonard took her on her visits. Stanley was a member of the Preston Gun Club ...I cant remember the correct name..he received a medal there.
It may have been the Moores. Her death cert. mentions Brunswick.
You found the accident
I didn't remember the details well 
And the "it was too easy" court article..wow. There you go he couldn't face up to telling her he was leaving his job and did he tell her he was leaving her!!! I loved my Grandmother she was a lovely Lady.
I wonder what Stanley did in the 3 years before the accident.
Nurse Edna didn't know what she was getting into. From reports, they had a hard life together. He drank, was humorless and didn't work much so they were poor with a large family.

There was no Divorce
'Perhaps Ellen worked for George and wife Agnes at the Queenscliff hotel. The move into pastoral properties in the western district appeared to be 1948 with the purchase of Yarram Park.
The hotel today.
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01f7m/
So where did Ellen live from 1889 when she was at Albury until 1913 at Queenscliff?
Was this domestic employment at Rutherglen?"

1922, 1924
LENARD Elizabeth Ellen Norong Park, Rutherglen HD
Good Find...most likely she did start working in Queenscliffe. Both Eva and Ellen at different times worked as housekeepers.
Ellen may have lived with the Irelands in Preston. Stanley lived with a cousin Moore in Brunswick I think when courting Eva.
Still waiting for Stanleys birth Cert.

Stanley used the Lenard spelling also on his WW1 registrations
