VIC - Marriage(s) -Look up please

[JAP]

Hi Jenn,

I'll try another of my scenarios 

People (especially those who inherited under a Will  ) were often quite practical when it came to expense connected with purchase of grave plots.

Perhaps (or perhaps not) James COURT who m Harriet J HEASMAN in 1905 in Wellington, NSW (Harriet assumed to be the widow of William R; she d 1918, Wellington as Harriett J COURT, parents Edward K & Rebecca) was the "friend" who was 'responsible' for William's passing in 1897.

Regardless ...

If James pre-deceased Harriet, perhaps she - before she passed away - left instructions that she was to be buried with William (especially if she owned that grave and there was room for her), and instructions (and provision) for the headstone.

There's a James COURT age 76 d Wellington in 1916 (he might already have owned a grave in Wellington or elsewhere where he would be buried)

On the other hand, perhaps James outlived Harriet and had the headstone erected as a memorial to them both.

I wonder whether any of them left Wills ...

PS: A James L COURT was buried at Spicers Ck Cemetery (between Wellington & Gulgong), 2 Aug 1916, age 78 (his death registered at Wellington).  There's a photo of his headstone.

Hi again Sleat,

Here are some addresses for possible lookups (for any of the names).

1841-1851 (at least) the HEASMAN family was in Melbourne; William HEASMAN a Carpenter.

1862 - Annie HEASMAN m Alexander MORININI.  Both resident Hepburn; marriage in Castlemaine (post #312).

1865 - Rachel HEASMAN m Donald CAMERON.  Both resident, and married in, Daylesford (post #271).

PS: To all: It's occurred to me that the Castlemaine Historical Society might have information about this family - they do have some wondrous records ...
My children's Gggma married (her second plus one not formalized - she'd had 12 children) a former convict (his fourth marriage - and he'd had 14 children) in Castlemaine in 1889.  The CHS found, for another descendant, a lovely story.  The ex-con was apparently a hard hard man.  But the CHS found the following contemporary report about his fourth marriage: 'However the mills of God grind slowly, we are told, and some years after the death of his wife he married a widow from the "auld sod" and the neighbours heard his agonised cry of "for God's sake someone come and take this woman away, she's killing me ".'

Adding  in  to  the saga  on  William  R  Heasman side

his  wife by  her death inscriptions on  the headstone was  born  1853c and  by  her death details  on the NSW  on line bdms

here is  her birth

Harriet Jane NEWBY born 1854 Prah, Victoria  reg n 2162

father Edward Newby  mother Rebecca Richards.

now  by  the indexs  I  think  that  Edward  died  in 1854 reg no 5541 aged 30 born in Norfolk parents unkown   and  Rebecca remarried an Edward Bishop  in 1858 reg no 1266

This is  only an assumption  on  my  part because there was  no  other  births  in victoria  to  this  couple,  however  there  may be in  nsw  will  have to  check,  also  checking where and when  they came from

regards Jenn

The family  arrived  in Victoria  in  1852  onboard  "the Windermere"
Edwin Newby aged 28
Rebecca         aged 24
Edward          aged 7
George           aged 5
Frederick        aged 3
Thomas          aged 1

Edwin's aged  ties  in with Edward Brough newby's death  in  1854

That's good that Harriet was born in Vic!

Given the peregrinations of the HEASMANs, that's another plus that the William R HEASMAN/Harriet J NEWBY 1878 marriage is 'our' William (and their deaths in Wellington).

I guess that Edward/Edwin K could easily be a mis-transcription for Edward B.

What a shame that there don't seem to be children to William & Harriet ...

Hi

Has anyone found James Bradley's family from his 1st marriage?
I found the death of a James Bradley in Sydney in 1899-father's name listed as Job.
Wonder if they moved to Sydney after their marriage-still no sign of Amelia.

Hi

Yes this is the family of my grandmother's cousin Ted.Have been doing through my papers and they did live at the address Annie Morinini died at.Which means my grandmother would of known or met Annie Morinini as she was very close to her cousin Ted.
I do have a couple of photos of which will be Annie Mornini's great grandchildren and great great grandchildren.
Who would of believed it!!
Going on the hunt today for a bit of information on Mr Bransgrove.
