LoneyBones Scavenger Hunt - Part 2...Everyone Welcome To Join In

Hi there,

Not sure, but .... Wilhelm LARSON in business partnership (hay and corn merchants) in Victoria 1 June 1885, notice dissolving a business partnership in Collingwood, Vic.  Wilhelm could be William.   The business continued with the partner operating it without Larson.   Could that be a pointer to perhaps when EAB moved to Adelaide  or could be a red herring

There are so many red herrings I could start a canning factory.   
I was just going through my NZ cousin's paperwork...there's a reference to a reference to a conversation held in David Jones cafeteria in 1956 which was sounding very promising until the teller of the tale mentions Albert's (the son who went to Melb. searching) daughter Dorothy.  Albert had NO CHILDREN!! So the teller of the tale was obviously bonkers.
Why didn't my NZ cousin see that before he published? Geees louise. No wonder I have a headache.

I'll go have a look JM.

Also,

The Decree nisi to be ruled absolute SMH Friday 4 November 1881 http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13498208 someone must have paid legal reps to lodge that application for that ruling. 

I'm actually quite surprised that that ruling was not in that A4 envelope...  In that envelope, did you get copies of the NZ 1851 marriage cert ... NSW Supreme Court can't dissolve a marriage without proof it existed in the first instance     

I'm lost for words actually....

OK, A4 envelope arrived.
But don't get excited.
Forty thousand pages, all in the most atrocious handwriting
I can find no evidence that the divorce was made Decree Absolute. Should be about 12 months after Decree nisi.

Cheers,  JM

Nuffink......
It was all aledged marriage and said wife...... really only about half a dozen pages....all just reiterating the one statement by John Ennis and one statement by Mrs Medlar. Then reports back and forth between legal briefs....very briefs.

Umm...

1903, Electoral Roll, Sydney CBD

ENNIS, Emily Maud, seamstress at 5 Rose Road, (around Central Station area, polling place "Belmore" ) No others with that surname at that address... probably another red herring ... but I'm thinking of the Emily Louisa born 1871 and that EAB was seamstress ...

Edit 1 to add
LYLE, James, at 5A Rose Road, basket maker

Here's another one   
Elizabeth Eleanor ENNIS married John Hart COGDON, 1881, in Bathurst, NSW.
They are both on the electoral rolls for Queensland, 1903-1913, then Elizabeth (Elanor) disapears.
John COGDON died in Queensland 23 October, 1926.
The only thing close to a death for Elizabeth Eleanor is Nellie COGDON-REDE, 1929 in Leeton, NSW.
So, this looks like another Elizabeth ENNIS has done a runner.   
Very interesting though, the first electoral entry is for "Elena BALFOUR COGDON" in Cairns, QLD.
Since Cairns is where I live, this was a bit of a surprise, to say the least.

Have you tried Ninnis? There is an Elizabeth Ann Ninnis who dies in 1910 in Clare SA. No relative named.
