Arthur Henry IRWIN

[sparrett]

Also on the ame site you will see this

Mr A. Irwin. Application for Passage from Egypt to Australia for Mother-in-law to Australia.  It is dated 1922.

This is the year of the child's birth.

Armenia, where you say Izabelle was born, is in the Arab republic of Egypt.

It looks as if she was invited out to be with her daughter and grand children.

On the marriage certificate, dated 7/10/1916 it says her father, Antoine Keligian, was deceased, but no mention is made of the mother.

The full details of this document can be got too.

Izabelle was only 19 when she married .

Sue and Archivist,

That's a most interesting file on the NAA website.  It makes you appreciate again how lucky we are to have free access to such records.

At http://www.awm.gov.au/find/index.asp there is also a digital image of Arthur Henry's Embarkation Roll page....gives his address in 1914.

I thought there might be Red Cross records as he was injured, but there are not.

Also on NAA there is an index entry for
DENIS [sic] IZABELLE IRWIN. 

He/she  [I,m sure dee has confimed female!] was born 1922 in Hawthorn.
 This enlistment is for ww2 and is not digitised.  However, you can get a copy for a fee.
Sue

On the WWII nominal role - same spelling - she is listed as an aircraftwoman - joined 30 dec 1942, discharged  7 Aug 1943

And I do agree with Dee - our War Service records are so very good ( they were even better when free - sadly I hadn't found all my relatives records when they changed the rules    )

At least all the WW1 Service records are still free, Trish, and a wonderful resource for us here in Australia, and for others researching from other parts of the world.   

But like you.....I hadn't applied for all those I thought could be interesting before the rules changed.

Hi All,

What a great resource Australia has. What great news about Arthur Henry. My mother (Caloundra, QLD) was married to his son, Maurice Graham Irwin. Arthur Henry's parents were Alfred (born 1887 in Hackney, London) and Anne M ? (born 1856 Bethnal Green, London). It's great see some progress on Maurice's mother Izabelle Kiligian. Thank you very much for all your kind help.
