Help with John HEADRIDGE in Queensland

This more recent immigration may be of interest too.  The second given name of Isabella caught my eye.

Thank you Thank you ALL very much
for the quick and speedy response.
We have been pondering John and family fates for a long time
ever since a relative gave me the undated and non specific newspaper
article.

How does one checkout the death of John and his wife?

also the obvious Australian marriages of off springs?

and off course the ultimate a live relative cointact.

this is  a link  to  the Australian White pages,  there are only 2 Headridges in Australia, perhaps  you  could contact  them?

Qld deaths are only one line till 1929  and on micro fishe lookup after  that till 1964 at a library or family history society.

Hi,
I am sending this link.
It is one of a few  references found on the 'the major search engine' which is about this person who I think may possibly be the living relative you would like to contact!

and off course the ultimate a live relative cointact. angusg

angusg,

I can check for Headridge deaths to 1964 at the Archives next time I go but not sure when that will be, perhaps next week, as it's been on my "to do" list for some time.

However if John was still bowling in about 1961 when that article appeared in the paper, he may well have died after 1964. 

He's not listed on the Brisbane City Council cemeteries index - I don't know anything about likely cemeteries in the Wynnum area.

John Headridge
died 16 August 1961
father Archibald
mother Jean Johnston

Janet Lindsay Headridge
died 10 Nov 1931
father James Greenhill
mother Jane Gordon

There are LOTS of Greenhills on the bmd fiche, only a couple of Headridges.

This looks like one of yours too:
Jane Gordon Greenhill = Percival Stafford
13 Oct 1909

Also this immigration:
Headridge Archd age 25 ship Kaikoura arr 24 Sept 1911 IMM/125 p 248 film Z1966
I looked at the film - not much info - he was amongst a huge group of Railway Workers - looked like the ship was full of them.
 
Hope that helps a little.

Very Much oblidged to you.

Is the jane Headridge+ Stafford a mariage?

I have not as yet identified who archibald headridge was.

He is not a brother to John becauise he was a joiner
in Edinburgh lived and died there. 1874 gto 1954.

However the fact that he was a Railway worker is intriguing.


Will see if I can figure out who he was.

Thanks agasin.

Hi Angus,

Good luck with sorting it all out.  Archibald looks like a relative doesn't he? Cousin? 

Yes, Jane Headridge married Percy.
