I have the Kelso stuff, that's in my direct line. It should be Edith Bonnin
This is from my COOPER cousin;
<Echo 1/8/1919
Mr. G.H. Cooper one of the oldest and best known residents of Mount Victoria, passed away yesterday afternoon. For over thirty years he controlled that successful tourist centre The Grand. His advocacy of the beauty of the Jenolan Caves trip and the advertisement he gave to it probably paved the way for the present stream of traffic to the Caves. For the past four or five years he has been more or less an invilid, but with energy stood at his post. Mrs. Cooper and an adult family survive and to these the sympathy of Mountain residents goes out.>

Nothing else yet.

Errr...

Tuesday 7 June 1910 The Advertiser (Adelaide, SA : 1889-1931)

BALFOUR.-On the 4th June, at Davenport-terrace, Wayville, Elizabeth Balfour, of Balfour's Cafe, in her 70th year. Interred at West-terrace Cemetery, 6th June.

Possibly not her, wrong age ...
 
I'll check the Resources board to see if there's an online cemetery website ... Back shortly

Edit to add .... I can't figure it out I clicked on ... Dee would know ...

http://www.familyhistorysa.info/births-marriages-deaths/cemeteries/ (search all S A Council Cemeteries), found search engine, and it "fell over" on moi...

Cheers, JM

Following this up as I said I would.....

Elizabeth BALFOUR aged 69 of Wayville and wife of John BALFOUR died on 4th June 1910 at Wayville.
Ref = Ade  349/285

Her marriage…..

John BALFOUR married Elisabeth MCDONALD 1st January 1867 at the residence of  James Calder.
Fathers = John BALFOUR & Donald MCDONALD
Ref = Ade 70/347

And just a little history, quoting Spotlight On……

“The Balfours bakery’s history can be traced back to 1853 when a family immigrating to Adelaide began business as bakers and confectioners. In 1914, Balfour Wauchope commenced operations in Adelaide as a new business venture, with the emphasis on cake shops, cafes and tearooms and a bakery to supply them.”

So definitely out of the loop.....

I really like the lead of Mrs Ennis and the Coopers........

Umm, that looks interesting Robyn  .

I've not found our missing 2 and need to have a quick break, cause I'm reading same names over and over ...

Also, just because the NSW BDM online doesn't show a death registered, does NOT mean that a death was not reported, particularly in late 19thC

By that I mean that there's plenty of examples where BDM Sydney (Head Office) either did not receive, or did not write up into their records, the quarterly returns that the civil registrars (usually attached to the Court House, or the Police station ... ie a "secondary appointment for the Crown Sarg or the Sherrif etc) were paid to send to Sydney.  It was a mish mash system until around WW1 ...  Also, IF an inquest was held ... eg around 1888 (as in one of my lot) in central west NSW, then the coroner's findings were all that was needed, and NO death cert was ever required to be issued, (eg for probate, the coroner's report was sufficient evidence to permit probate action to commence).

Also, sometimes the BDM online index seems to indicate a bdm event occurred in a particular year, but errr.... the reference number is actually the year that the BDM Head Office got around to (or perhaps received the) returns from the rural registrars.  I have found one instance where the transcript shows it was informed in 1884, but the transcript and online reference is clearly indexed under 1907.  I then got the real deal certificate, and sure enough, death clearly 1884, and clearly registered in 1884.  I wrote away to BDM and they sent my fees back with NO explanation.  They did NOT ask for the cert back.  I phoned.  They explained the register at HO was written up in 1907.  I asked for answer in writing .... that was errr .... several years ago.... I'm still waiting for the postman with that letter. 

But, it happens ...  So, when online looking through NSW BDM, never limit yourself to just a year or two or three, look further, particularly if the event occurred OUTSIDE of what was then Metropolitan Sydney.  (any thing with a post code higher than about 2249 was OUTSIDE of Sydney until at least WW2 era).

Sorry for the chapter and verse explanation.

Cheers,  JM

Oh, oh oh, I'll go check that one out Robyn.
I just sent a letter to the Editor of the Blue Mountains Advertiser asking if any readers know about Mrs Ennis at The Manor House/Coopers Grand. Couldn't find any OLD  Blue Mountains papers, so found one for today. You never know yer luck 'til yer give it a go.

That's OK JM, a whole batch of entries from Wagga Wagga never made it to the NSWBDMs. The Wagga Wagga Historical Society have a few of them, but my grandfather and great uncle never turned up.  Luckily my cousin visited Wagga and went out to the cemetary. 

[Tephra]

That's a very interesting explanation JM.   

[LoneyBones]

I also emailed The Manor House at Mt Vic. One can only ask, nothing lost if they ignore me.   

[Tephra]

They wont ignore you Leonie       You'll be inundated with info
