Can anybody help please, Henry and Marguerite Spurrier, Victoria.

[Dryden]

Hi.

I'm interested in hearing from anyone who’s has information or is descended from Henry Augustus Stanley Spurrier and Marguerite Amy Marie Spurrier nee Moussary, they migrated to Australia sometime between 1909 and 1914.
   
Henry and Marguerite were married in 1903 St Pancras London England. They had the following children:-
Leon Augustus W born 1906 St Pancras.
Lilian Augusta born 1908 Holborn.
Margaret Ellen E born 1908 Holborn.
Francis Henry born 1909 Holborn.

Henry and Marguerite are listed in the Australian Electoral Rolls, 1901-1936.
1914 – 32 Iffla Street, Emerald Hill, Melbourne Ports Victoria.
1919 – Christmas & Fullham Roads, Alphington, Bourke, Victoria.
1924, 1931 – 12 Park Ave, Alphington, Batman, Victoria.
 In 1936 only Marguerite is listed living at 12 park Ave, so presumably Henry died sometime between 1931 and 1936.

Their son Leon Augustus Walter Spurrier is listed as:-
1931 – Western Camp, Yallourn, Gippsland, Victoria.
1936 – Leon and Joyce Spurrier 63 Parkside, Yellourn, Gippsland, Victoria.

Happy New Year.

Kind Regards Dryden.

"district of FRAN"  I would take to mean Frankston, so I looked up the cemetery listing online (I think it is headstones only)

Only one Spurrier - There is the death of a Rose SPURRIER, 24/6/89, aged 85,  wife of Frank - this could be the wife of Francis.

Maurice SPURRIER married Alva May SPICER in Vic 1937
no: 7989

They were cremated at Fawkner cemetery - Henry and Marguerite are buried there.

Hi

This could be the family arriving in 1911

SPURRIER 
MR   Age 36   APR   1911   OMRAH   Port B   Fiche 822   001
SPURRIER
MRS   Age 33   APR   1911   OMRAH   Port B   Fiche 822   001
SPURRIER   
SON WITH   Age 11   APR   1911   OMRAH   Port B   Fiche 822   001

If it is them - there only appears to be one child on board.

Also on findmypast

SPURRIER                  F     1911     London     Australia     Sydney     
SPURRIER    H A T       M    1911    London    Australia    Sydney    
SPURRIER    Leon        M    1911    London    Australia    Sydney


Am wondering if you have the birth certs of the following -

Lilian Augusta born 1908 Holborn.
Margaret Ellen E born 1908 Holborn.
Francis Henry born 1909 Holborn.

as I note that Lilian was registered March qtr 1908,  Margaret Dec qtr 1908 and Francis Henry Dec qtr 1909  all Holborn.   Births very close to one another

Cheers

A bit more from

There is a facility on the website to request a lookup by the volunteers of the Ryerson Index.   

There are only 11 SPURRIER entries on http://www.whitepages.com.au/wp/initResSearch.do
for Victoria.  Perhaps there is a descendant ?

This birth certificate will give the names and ages of all previously born children - living and dead.  When and where the couple married. It will also give the ages and birthplaces of Henry and Marguerite, plus Henry's occupation.
