Completed wth many thanks

I've been back Census searching....and it seems the name Euston regularly got transcribed as Enston or vice versa. Unfortunately the images are not appearing on Ancestry as I search.....database down!

But......this really looks like the family of the Walt. H that had parents Thomas and Mary......and 1901 was listed on Peter's other thread.....and the Bernard part makes it very interesting indeed.....

Name mistranscription again!

Looking at both certificates just posted

Does anyone think that they look similar?
(or do I just HOPE they do  )

Raylen

   I mean the signatures....................silly me!

[deeiluka]

Some similarities in the signatures but one definitely reads Euston and the other Enston.

I am sure that the Walter that married Ruby Prigg is the Walter that appears in the Census results I have listed. The occupation of Thomas on the certificate matches, and so does the birth place, as Stratford On Avon is the district where births of the children occurred......I had just started tracking them on FreeBMD.

[deeiluka]

There are 88 deaths in the year 1914 with names ending in 'ston'. Unfortunately I couldn't eliminate males when sorting.

None stand out as being an obvious mistranscription of Euston.

Just thought I'd pop these details on here so we aren't jumping from one site to another.

Do we know that he was actually in Victoria when his wife died?

(She asks wondering if I've missed it somewhere along the line  )

Raylen

Raylen....if he wasn't the same man being rather naughty..... maybe he was the one who married in NZ and she died back there.......

I've been going through the 88 deaths eliminiating for various reasons, such as wrong sex, too old, all the Johnstons, same name as father and checking back on records......and there's no possibilities that I can see left!

BUT ..................his death certificate  points  to  the  information  that  he was  in  Victoria Australia  for  26 years so arrival  around  1904........ wife died  in  1914.

Do you think Peter has any hair left? I'm sure I won't by the end of the day......
