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

Umm, Annie, would you like to do one for either of my John & Sally Brown late 18thC with "native place west of England"  or my John and Mary Smith mid 19thC both "born in England"



Cheers,  JM

No prob JM, back to you in an hour

[deeiluka]

I'm sure that won't be her, JM.....Balfour's is a famous family and company here in SA....and I'm off to bed, but I'll check it out in the morning just to be sure.

(I used to love going to Blafour's with my grandmother when I was a  little girl. She always bought me a chocolate frog cake.       )

I checked it out JM, it can't be completed or something. 
The site worked, I just couldn't find any BALFOUR Elizabeth.
So I entered just a surname that I know should have dozens of entries and it said there are no entries for the data entered.

LB,

I was scavengering the electoral rolls for all the polling places in 1903 again last right ... I went as far west as Orange, and came back east to Lithgow .... then went to Windsor via Bell Line of Roads,  and up to Wilberforce and back to Vineyards.    I skipped  back up to Lithgow and started again, coming down the Great Western Highway .... all the way to Rooty Hill,  covering all the side bits off the road, etc.   I looked at every surname starting with E, I and L .....  I couldn't find her, and I couldn't find Martha Alice. 

She's hiding    .... 

[LoneyBones]

We all know she's bl**dy hiding...that's why we're doing a scavenger hunt. 


You must be awfull tired after all that running around,,,,that's a lot of territory you covered. 

I messaged my COOPER cousin, nothing back yet. She goes to the Sydney Records Office and has access to all sorts of files and stuff. Just hoping she might come up with something.

Anyone here remember the thread obout the love letters found on a bus?
It was taken of when it was realised that persons in the letters were still living but the lady involved had completely changed her name after her divorce!! Nothing like her birth name, married surname or any associated surnames.

Again another rare possibilty and if so impossible to find.

Hi Robyn,

I know the ending too... I will PM you with a link

Oops, sorry LB for the side track .... oh.... side track .... I haven't looked for EAB up around Oberon or on the roads around the J Caves ...

Ta Robyn for the clue   

[majm]

Err....

The Manager at Caves House in 1903 was a Harman Pinell SHIPWAY (I first read it as Slipaway  ) but I guess that's no use to this hunt as there's also an Emily Shipway on that roll...  twas only one page long,  I see the names of the cave guides, the engineer, the housemaids etc (I was thinking back to The Manor House) but alas none named Elizabeth or Martha ...

I'll get across to Oberon shortly, perhaps via Hamilton    much easier this way than when I was a child 

LB, does your Cooper cousin have info from the Electoral rolls,  .... I could help if you wanted to swap info about Cooper for info about Elizabeth A B Ennis or for Martha Alice 

Cheers,  JM
