Hi there,

Sorry it's been so long but I was in NZ and have only just got back. I have a little update for you:

Received death transcriptions for John & Sophie.

John - died 22 Jun 1930. He'd had an accident and died in Sydney Hospital - "LACERATED LEFT FOREARM; PNEUMONIA (SEE NOTE**) - **NOTE IN MARGIN READS: IN COLUMN 5 (CAUSE OF DEATH) ADD: PNEUMONIA SUPERVENING UPON ACCIDENTAL INJURIES - FELL FROM AND CRUSHED BY (NEXT WORD ILLEGIBLE) OF A MOVING MOTOR LORRY. FINDING AT INQUIRY - E A MAY JP, 9 JUL 1930 - A C L BAYLIS, DEPUTY REGISTRAR GENERAL, SYDNEY, 9 JUL 1930"

Sophie - died at home on 30 Nov 1929 of "CHRONIC MYOCARDITIS, SYNCOPE"

On both there is reference to only 2 sons - Leslie J and Bede N. Their ages coincide with the years we have discussed.

Both were buried at the Roman Catholic Cemetery at Woronora.

As for John's birth, I will order a transcription of the following (as jamjar suggested:

Could he have changed the spelling of his surname?

10036/1873      NAUGHTON      John  Mary A      John      Mary Jane      DUBBO   

I like his middle name. Kinda like a boy named Sue.

There's a Sydney Naughton born in Hay.

I'll let you know how it turns out. Well worth a try!!!

Cheers,
Julie

Woohoo!!!!!!! Thank you all so much for all of your suggestions and input for this thread. I am extremely grateful for all the information and leads you have supplied. I'll now go after his wife - Sophie Haley.

Again, many many thanks!!!!

Nice work JamJar

Julie has one brick knocked down  that is for sure
, even if he has an odd middle  name,  mind you  one of my uncles had Linda as a middle name, named after the nurse that delivered him

No worries! I guess this particular one is now put to bed - to a point. However, so many more avenues have opened up due to the help I've received. It just keeps getting better and better!!!!!

Cheers,

Hi Julie,

Do you mean the Woronora Cemetery in Sutherland, Sydney?

If so, I'm right by there and can look for a headstone, if you'd like.
