MOORE family

[lynnthompson]

thanks for your message. I have only seen the service record which gives Bryan Moore as the NOK.  As the Moore family originate from Ireland over there even to this day the next of kin would always be the eldest son, not the wife or any older daughters.  Don't know if this explains it.  We are applying for the death certificate of Thomas Moore but being an impatiient so and so am trying to get the information that I can tell the elderly rellie that there was more than one child, maybe still living and other siblings and also children and grandchildren etc.   Hey we are 37 minutes from Christmas Day.  Happy Christmas and thanks to all for the help you are giving me.  I am finding this all so exciting and all get your information from.   Regards  Lynn

Hello  there

Please Please where did you get the date of death "23rd March 1962."  and DO YOU  KNOW WHAT AUSTRALIAN STATE HE DIED IN?

I guess you  must if you are obtaining a deathcertificate

the reason   I  keep  asking  this  question is  we  may be able to find where he is buried and  then  to see if  his wife is buried with  him ALSO sometiems a headstone can be very revealing

Hi  Happy Christmas. thought I would turn the old computer on while waiting for the family.  Someone on Genes Reunited found that he enlisted in the Army in I think 1942 was demobbed in 1945 next of kin Bryan in Rockhampton Queensland. They gave me a death date of 23rd October 1962.   If only I can find an address or something on one of the children it would be such a great New Year gift for the family!!   I presume he came to NSW firstly and then maybe moved to Queensland.  Unfortunately the family tried for years and years to find him after he had emigrated.  They were a very close, large family and I think it is only since the onset of programmes like Rootschat that I have been able to get anywhere.    I really do appreciate all your help.  Anything I can do this end or anything I can do for you.

Regards

Lynn

Hi All,
Yes , Jenn.  I had seen the next of kin 'Bryan" on ww2 and NAA. records  Have you looked at this entry yourself Lyn? My query about it is this....

WHERE does it say son?

Nowhere that I can see.   Have I missed it?

 We really do not know that Bryan is a son.  Lyn is assuming that. I think the person on Genes  Reunited may have assumed something that is not written there. Only the full record, [not the entry shown on ww2] will give details of the person.



Just to add that the defence forces took next of kin to be not a matter of choice or 'tradition' but legally the person legally closest to you.   You  would have to give a good reason to nominate someone other than a wife unless she was dead or estranged.

Hi Lynn

Do you know the names of Mary Josephine's parents?

I note is that his date of birth on the WW2 record is incorrect by one year. Not unusual -   which State have you applying for his death certificate?  Just curious.

Cheers

Sorry for not contaqcting you all recently due to a hospital stay, fortunately not over Christmas.  The parents of Mary Josephone Moore as far as I am aware I only have the father George Gallagher.  ERverything is so sketchy as no one knew anything about him for a periods before he emigrated but he was married in Liverpool and one Mary Shaunessy was bridesmaid and that is about it.  Am still patiently awaiting the death certificate but do not hold out much hope for details of whereabouts of child, children.  Thanks to you all.  Happy New Year.

Hi Lynn - Trust you are on the mend.

Where in Australia did you apply for the death certificate -  Queensland or New South Wales?

Cheers

Hi cando  I applied to Queensland as it seems hedied there in 19162.  Do you know what I never thought it would be this hard to trace hoepfully living members of a family.  Have hit a brick wall with my Aunt saying why can't we find them etc.  Just keep going I suppose.  Thansk for all your help though.
