miles mcinnes on arrivals from australia

[Lucy2]

Hi Karen

Might be a good idea to post a look-up on the OZ board just to see if anyone can find burials / deaths, for Miles Murdoch and Ernest Nerney ?    (Fresh eyes, may just spot them  ... ?)

i dont see a death for him in dunedin,wander where he got too.

No, as I said, I think Miles moved with Blanche and the children to Australia.

I've just found more info. on the only other "Miles / Myles" McINNES who died in New Zealand (the others we'd ruled out previously).

McINNES - Miles - aged 81 - died 1950 (bc 1869-70)

[This chap died at Te Puke in the North Island but, (and am presuming he was cremated) - he is listed on the burial locator with his son Miles junior, who is buried at Hinds Cemetery, Ashburton, South Island :   Wife of Miles snr. (Ada) is also buried at Hinds ].

So, unless your Miles changed his name, then he ain't buried in NZ.

PS :    Heading to the library very shortly, so will try and find the funeral notice for Blanche Madeline.

Hi Lu and Karen,

Great work that certainly is him. If there was an inquest there might not be a death certificate (can check that Tuesday).

The thing is there are heaps of relatives here but did he know that?  Ellen must have spent time at Romsey to use the name.  Hey you know there is an extra child in the photo of Sarah and her husband and children in one of the Romsey history books.   Not sure what date it would be but I will bet some stayed at Romsey with family members.

Also, Ken McInnes sent your email onto me so I will email you back with any information I get from Myles's wife.  Yes he has Skye connections but not this family.

---   just another thing.

Has anybody checked out TASSIE ?  

I know we have Blanche, Thelma and Miles Bernard in later years in VIC.  

But Blanche was born in TAS  ... did the family move there firstly ... to be near her parents ?     Perhaps Miles Murdoch died in TAS ?

Hi Karen and Lu,

Seem to have missed a bit in all that.  Was there a notice?

Could do Tasmania on Tuesday but not look up the films because I won't have time.

The lady isn't answering her phone so I will keep trying there.

Should we be looking for a Giles McInnes?

Hi Karen and Meg

 ... did you mean "Giles ROBINSON"  ??   

OK  ... just some quick search results for "Giles Scott ROBINSON" ... and I think possibly that his real name is "Giles Escott ROBINSON" ?  (And he seems later to have been in QLD ?) 

From Australian newspapers

Brisbane Courier - 13 February 1884
Transfer of license from Julia DOWDALL* to Giles Scott ROBINSON for Avoca Hotel :


Brisbane Courier - 22 April 1885
Transfer of Licence for Avoca Hotel, Wharf Street, Brisbane from Giles Escott ROBINSON to James McCANN :

QUEENSLAND  BMD - Marriage

1883 - Giles Escott ROBINSON - Julia DOWDALL*

[* Julia DOWDALL was previous licencee of Avoca Hotel  :    Has Madeline ROBINSON, w/o Giles, mother of Blanche, died prior to 1883 ?]

Giles Escott (Scott) ROBINSON

Don't want to spend too much time on this chap, but if you do a "Google" search, you can find the following :

*  McCARNEY - Madlin (sic) (Madeline ?)
    ROBINSON - Giles Escott
    Marriage - 1868
[The above is from a website which gives details of persons who have stated their birthplace as Co. Tyrone, Ireland and also have a connection to VIC.   * Madlin McCARNEY is the person born in Tyrone.]

--   The "Ford/Lester" family tree on A*******y has a link to a "Giles Escott ROBINSON - b. 1843" :

--    NSW Police Gazette - 1890 (on CD) has an entry for Giles Escott ROBINSON :

Death of Blanche Madeline McINNES (Auckland, NZ) :

GRRR !!    I searched high and low for a funeral notice for her (both Auckland newspapers of the day) ... and found ZILCH !!

As the cemetery record only gave a date of death (and not the date of cremation) it occurred to me that cremation may have taken place some time later, if say, her family had to travel from Australia ?   (To boot, the funeral director mentioned in 1955,  seemed to have gone out of business and there was no reference as to where the firms records had been transferred).   Arrghhh !
