THomas Patrick HENNESSY and Margaret HENNESSY nee Renehan

[judb]

Yes ma'm  and here it is:

Cootamudra Herald, Wednesday December 11, 1940

The death occurred in Sydney of Mr Thomas Hennessy, sen, formerly of Cootamundra.  He leaves a widow, five sons - Tom (Sydney), Frank, Vince, Len (Cootamundra), Leo (AIF abroad) and one married daughter (Ruby) who lives near Albury.  One son Denny dies at Cootamundra from injuries sustained in the Great War.

No mention of Margaret's name and her obit didn't mention her having lived in Sydney at all.

Will scan this but I have transcribed it exactly.

Thanks very much  for that Judith

That solves  what happened  to Thomas Patrick senior.

Could we assume  that  they lived separate lives, being Irish Catholic maybe a divorce wasn't going to happen.

The son Denis served in WW1 by his war record (as Dennis Hennessy) he was invalided out from Gallipoli  with  Influzena  that  caused him heart problems. 

once again my  heartfelt thanks

Greetings Jenn,
I had to ferret at the NLA and decided to look at electoral rolls.
 I found Margaret, Frank Sylvester,Michael Leonard, Vincent Joseph, Leo, Patrick Benedick in Temora St in 1937. The same in 1938 except Leo not there and in 1939 the same as 1937.
I didn't find any of them in 1940.
So I didn't go any further, thinking they had moved, however looking at this posting I see Margaret was still in Coota. I can look further another day if you like.
If any other names or years, just let me know.The NLA has all electoral rolls.. BUT!!!!!! today i found some years missing from the drawer!!!! mutter...
Cheerssss

Thanks Eds
for taking  the  time and effort to do  that for me,

I  would really  like a house number in Temora Street  but apprently  house  numbers were not introduced for many  years

   Youre most welcome
   I did see in the white pages 21 Temora St. I looked there to
   see if any remained. There is a L. Hennessy there.
   Cheers

Ah  yes  but no  relation  I  did ring him  though

thanks Jenn

[Eds]

      sigh..........................
      Would you like me to try and find past 1940? As Margaret
      died in Coota she HAS to be there.

Thanks Eds
However I  just received an email  from  the lovely lady at Coota who informs me  the family lived at 130 Temora Road.  So  that solves  that bit of  the puzzle as well but thanks for your kind offer

Good result Jenn - two obits and burial places for Thomas P and Margaret.

I have checked and there is no headstone for Thomas P at Rookwood.  I should have checked previously as the Thomas P who died in 1926 is buried with parents.

Cheers
