The newspaper site's working again !

Martha Alice Deacon was Thomas Henry Deacon's executrix, and they were formerly of WA... so it's worth following up more.  Martha Alice Deacon was living so close to Cyril William Ennis's address in Perth in the early 1900's

Fingers crossed they were bro and sister.... 

The newspaper details are Thursday 12 November 1942, Argus, MELBOURNE,  so Martha Alice Deacon (hoping she was nee ENNIS) was alive and living in Melbourne in 1942 .... 

Cheers,  JM

6 August 1942, Thomas Henry Deacon, of 2 Scheele St Surry Hills, Melbourne... dearly beloved husband of Martha... alas, no mention of any children for the couple.

The Argus, Saturday 8 August 1942

Edit to add Funeral to Burwood Cemetery .... (same date for same paper) moi thoughts are for any other names on his headstone, or for next gravesite

Strange...not coming up on WABDMs. No Martha Deacon either. Do you know how late their records go to? NSW has deaths to 1979.

No, don't know, but

Lilydale Cemeteries search
http://www.lilydalecemetery.com.au/ has the grave for Martha and Thomas DEACON
as BURWOOD,
6, 86.  

NO interment dates, and I cannot find notice for her service ... perhaps twas later than 1949...  (I've even looked for notices mentioning scheele street !)

Still looking for anything to indicate she was Elizabeth's youngest   not found anything else to give a hint, apart from living nearby to Cyril back in 1903 and 1906.

JUST READING DEE'S POST, THANKS DEE...

Oh well LB, back to the drawing boards by the looks of it.


Cheers,  JM

Hi Dee,

So no sight of Elizabeth A B Ennis (nee Davis) or of a William Larson (Carson as alternative if documents were originally handwritten etc)

Cheers,  JM

A search right up to 1985 of Eliz* +Father = Davis or Davies brings nothing that looks like her....no Ennis/Ennes/Innes/Innis/ etc and no Larson with variations.

Wow, she's an elusive lady with an elusive youngest daughter ...

I've spotted a Mrs Ennis, in 1885 at Mount Victoria (Blue Mtns NSW) taking over as manageress at The Manor House ...  Its an advert, so no mention of a child with Mrs Ennis.  But noticing there was no mention of any Mr Ennis ...

SMH Thursday 11 June 1885  .... Martha Alice would have been about 12 .....

I don't have electoral rolls for 1880's but I'll try to find a Country Directory for around 1886  to see what's what with that establishment 

Cheers,  JM

Edit to add, I forgot to mention, Mount Vic .... not too far from Bathurst where EAB Ennis' son was their Mayor around that time
