Re: Australian Lookups offer - PARRETT

[sparrett]

Hi,  I've  trawled through the awful local Library microfiche collection here in Vic searching for the following.  I wonder if you might be more successful.  I am pretty certain Vic is the only state of interest.  Thanks if you can spare the time.
 
(1) Lily Aileen Parrett.  b. 1894 (Aust)  Fath. Alfred Arthur Parrett.  Moth.  Martha Parrett (nee Daniels) who  lived around Richmond/South Yarra in 1890's & onwards   No further info.  Did she marry or die we wonder.

(2)  Jessie Parrett. b.14/2/72.  Fath. George James Parrett.  Moth. Eliza Parrett.  Accompanied other family members to Aust. in 1895 per "The Orient"   1912 Electoral roll lives in Richmond aged 40, unmarried .

I cannot find anything further on her.  May have made a late marriage, died or gone home again to England!

By the way, does anyone know a way to find passenger list for this era of people going to Uk from Aust?  Best Regards, Sue

Hi Sparrett,

Are you looking for details of Alfred Arthur Parrett as well?

Wendy

[sparrett]

Hi Wendy,  No , He is not my primary interest at the moment as iihave a bit on him.  however, if you absolutely "fall" onto something, do pass it on as one never knows what can be unexpectedly turned up in this fascinating game!

[Wendy Mc]

An Alfred A Parrett died in 1953 cause of death struck by car. Wasn't sure if he was yours or if you knew about it.

Fascinating or frustrating?? LOL  Both I say,

cheers,

Wendy

Hi Sue,

My source is the Inquest Index for Victoria 1840-1985

No age given but the reference  no. is 224

Inquest date 19/2/1953
Notes- other date is 4/3/1953

You will get more info when you order the certificate using the reference No. 224

Go to:- www.dvc.vic.gov.au/

and you can download images immediately for a reasonable fee (A$17-50) I think.

Best of luck and hope I haven't upset you with this info.

No, no not at all.  A very fair inningsI would say.  Hardly an untimely end!!

His death was at  Sth Fitzroy probably at St Vincent's hospital.
I may take the next step as you suggested.  thanks for the lively little snippets. S

Hi Sparrett
On 1936 Australian Electoral Rolls, Lily Aileen is still living with her parents Alfred (an importer) and Martha (home duties) at 33 Fawkner Street, S. Yarra.


In December of 1916, on board "Ventura", Miss Jessie Sparrett, age 44, Nurse, born England, stopped over in San Francisco on her way to London.

Hi Valerie,
That was kind of you to dig up my old rellies.
[Every pun intended!]
Chatting to an older family member, I learnt that Lily had a severe hearing problem and never married.  The extended family were not particularly caring of her I am told.

Yes, it looks like Jessie returned to London, though I do not know how she became a 'nurse' after always being a shop assistant.

War time I guess so perhaps she got a calling.  I don't suppose she ever returned to Aust. 

Thanks for your information.

Hello  there Sue  and  Val

I am  wondering  on  the Nurse  maybe  she travelled as a nurse companion?  Do  you  know  what  I  mean...  someone  who  was a travelling companion  to a aged or infirm  person.
 It  would be interesting  to see if she was travelling with someone.

kind regards Jenn
