miles mcinnes on arrivals from australia

[Meg7]

Hi Karen and Lu,

The only ones in Victoria are the rest of our lot.  No Myles or Miles spare.  Could he have died on the ship going back to NZ?

Takes after his father by the sound of things.

Hi Karen and Meg

yes but i not sure if i can read then ok = h. mansfield , and elizabeth drummond.

Mmmm ... these marriage witnesses didn't lead me to uncovering anything else.

 do we have a date for   a death for myles in vic, maybe she came came back to her family in nz.

I guess it's still possible that he might be the Myles who died in NZ in 1950 (though index says he was 80 years - bc 1870 - still that could be wrong ?)    I'll check place of death registration (need to view microfiche, at library).

Hi

Just having another look at Blanche's cemetery record (Auckland, NZ) ... it doesn't actually say she was a widow ??
(Only states "home duties" ...  also has her listed as a "male"     )

AND ... Myles Bernard (living at Glenhuntly, Vic) enlisted (WW2) 28 May 1940 ... he names his mother ? (B. McINNES)as next of kin.
So wonder if that might indicate that his father (Myles) is deceased at that time ?

Ah well, we'll just keep digging.

hi lu, yes i thought the same as you, not much else to go on by, then his son myles bernard say and died there. is there a way you check the enrolled list on ancestrey as i only have a visitor pass .
i wander why myles husband to blanche isnt there after 1919 as she is still right  there till 1936. .with daughter thelma.

yes i stop that too ,thought it was funny saying she was a male.

Hi Lu and Karen,

Can't say too much here as it is a public forum and the information belongs to BDM Victoria.

But Myles Murdoch was a Linotyper doesn't say if he was dead or alive.  Robson is the maiden name for Blanche
Myles B was a retired policeman
He died 17 September 1983 and had been in Aus for 61 years so came here when he was three. Born in Dunedin

It names his wife, who I spoke to, and there were two children both sons.

We got the certificate in July 2002 which would be when Lee was living in Wales and we were doing all of this research.

hi meg, i would be very grateful if you come across there names, love to get in contact with a living rally might help fill in the more of the gaps.

Hi Karen,

They are both listed but not sure if they are still alive which is why I didn't post their names.

OK, 1931 Blanche Madeline 37 Briggs St Caulfield and Thelma Myles saleswoman 5 Briggs St.

1936 both at 176 Balaclava Rd Caulfield.  Thelma is still a sales woman.  Myles B would be too young to appear.

So if they came to Australia in 1922 Myles might not have come with them.

Most of the others listed are our family like Myles Alexander and Lee's lot in WA.

Mind you Sth Aus is not there so Myles could have been living there.

Not sure what to do next.

he could of remarried,or gone to live in queensland his brother godfrey lived ,or we have no idea he could of gone where his other brother ernest nerney mcinnes, i have no idea where he went either.

thanks

Hi Karen and Meg

. is there a way you check the enrolled list on ancestrey as i only have a visitor pass .

Here's the link to WW2 enlistments (not really much info on the index ... but sometimes it's helpful for a lead to something else).

Great work Meg (with those addresses and other info).  

Ah ... so ROBSON was Blanche's maiden name ?   (NZ Marriage index showed her as "Robinson").

EDITED to amend - ROBINSON is the correct maiden name for Blanche Madeline (w/o Miles Murdoch McINNES) :

*   Was there any sign of the other McINNES daughter that we know of  ?       Violet Irene - born 1901 (NZ)  ?

*    Does the VIC BDM have a marriage for her ?
      (She may have returned to NZ under a married name ?)

BUT   ....  Myles Murdoch is the BIG problem ... huh ?
