William Selby BLAIR -death reg.Vic.

[sparrett]

Hi All
I think from family chat......
William Selby Blair died  in Mildura, Vic. in the 1950's
He was married to Hannah Elizabeth Coulson in 1912 in Qld. but was in Victoria a few years later.

I cannot see a birth for him in Qld

Is anyone able to see this death/birth as I am searching for his parents names and will get cert if possible.

There is every likliehood he was born in Scotland, but would like to eliminate one thing at a time

Thanks ,

Sue

Hi Sue,

I see there was William Selby BLAIR buried at Cheltenham Old Cemetery aged 74, unfortunately I do not see a date.  

He appears on the Electoral Roll for Queensland in 1913 and then in Vic by 1936 Sandringham. I do note the birth of a William Selby BLAIR in Ipswich in Suffolk Sep 1889 4a 792.

If it is same person he would have died about 1963 which does not quite fit with the family lore

There is an immigration record for

BLAIR Mr W S departing London 30 Sep 1908 aboard the MARATHON ticketed to Melbourne. He was aged 19 (a clerk) Country of last permanent residence England - intended permanent residence in Australia.

Traveling with

BLAIR Mr M 44 Typist
BLAIR Miss M C 16
BLAIR Miss J H 11

The occupations seem wrong (I note William Selby BLAIR is an Engineer on the electoral roll entries) but William Selby BLAIR from Ipswich was the son of Mathew S BLAIR (an electrical engineer) and Amelia J. 1901 sisters Mary C 8 and Jessie H 4 so I think it is the same family 


Hopefully someone will help further with the death.

Cheers Kris  

PS Good one Mandy - fits with what I have found.

By the way Sue,

Mathew S BLAIR aged 36 in 1901 was born in Roxburghshire Scotland according to the census

Hi Judith
Thank you.
It was the very common old classic story of him being absolutely helpless in the domestic area and hiring a housekeeper to help and one thing leading to another

I'm not sure I even have her details as she was totally not spoken of.

As always, his first wife "was a wonderful, wonderful woman"

Hi All
The immigration details above from Kris, show this group arriving 1908..
 
BLAIR
Father Mr.M.  [Mathew]  aged 44
Son. Mr W [William] aged 19
Daughters.
Miss M. [Mary C.] aged 16
Miss J. H. [Jessie]

Their mother and wife AMELIA JANE BLAIR [nee WHALEBONE] is not showing.

There is a death in England of one Amelia Jane Blair Sept 1/4 1907 8c 362 at Barton I. which is in Lancashire. This is probably her. But not certainly

My requests are,
Does anybody know of a death for AMELIA JANE BLAIR [f. Thomas, m. possibly Charlotte] in Victoria after 1908.  In case I have missed her on the immigration.

Does anybody know of marriages/deaths  for the daughters..

Mary C. Blair [f.Mathew Selby m. Amelia Whalebone]
Jessie H. Blair [as above]

Sue
