Curious case of Amelia DEED nee BUTTON

[sarra]

Regarding - DAPHNE AMELIA BUTTON.

There is a Personal Tree on Ancestry - it gives her birth date 1882 - place Wangoom (sic) near Warrnambool.

This person has 6950 people in her tree??.

Poor Mary Jane Delton died after falling in the yard doing the washing, according to the Adelaide Advertiser, 3 May 1910.  So it looks as though the death found by Cando is her.

Yet another divorce in 1925 - Doris Martha Delton 24 of Northcote granted divorce from Alfred Ernest Delton 26, driver, formerly of Kensington cause desertion, no issue, marriage 7 Dec 1918. (Argus, 12 Feb 1925)

Death Notice for Alfred Ernest D'Elton, (Argus, 9 April 1921)

I did a long post with info....including Judith's info and lost it

Australian Electoral Roll
1936
DEED Amelia  258 Adderley Street, West Melbourne HD
1943, 49 and 54
DEED Amelia 55 Abbotsford Street, North Melbourne  HD

These addresses are literally around the corner from each other.

There are two  marriages for Alfred Ernest DELTON one in 1918 and another in 1933.  His first wife Doris Martha ALLAMBY remarried an Alphonsus PARKER but does not appear on any of the electoral rolls with her 2nd husband....he is there alone until 1954.

However all of this information does not really help find Amelia DEED's death.

The death of an Amelia DEED in South Australia is not this lady...she is the wife of Samuel Alfred DEED.....thought I had found Amelia at at last

No, but it intriguing.

Would be interesting to know who were the parents of the lad in the ARMY named WILLIAM JOHN D'ELTON whose NOK is ALFRED D"ELTON. in 1940(does not say father, so may not be! BUT.....)
Born 1919. The year of the divorce application which named ALFRED D'ELTON as C R.

Was this boy AMELIA's?

I was just about to post the same thoughts Sue....

The 1918 marriage of Alfred Ernest to Martha Doris had no issue and there is no William John DELTON b. 1919 on the Vic indexes.  I have searched with no surname, mother Amelia and just Wm with mother Amelia 1919...nothing.... and Wm with mother Amelia between 1914 and 1920.   There are only two DELTON entries between 1914-1920 and both are marriages.   Perhaps he was born post 1920 and altered his age   If he was Amelia's and it is her on the electoral roll, then shouldn't she be named NOK?

That death notice in 1921 only said he was the brother of Josephine (Mrs W A Martin) and uncle of Alfred, Jessie and Aubrey.  I assume their surname was Martin.  There was no corrsponding Funeral Notice.

There is a birth notice for Aubrey Ernest D'Elton MARTIN, parents Mr and Mrs W A Martin, late of Albury, 25 April, 1915

Some births in NSW to Alfred Snr and Mary J:

1893 Laura J D'ELTON parents Alfred E and Mary J at ALBURY  3817 
1895 Alfred E D'ELTON  parents Alfred E and Mary J at ALBURY  3817

Thanks Judith....couldn't find Alfred E Jnr on the Vic indexes and thought there appeared to be a bit of a gap between births....quite a number on the Vic indexes.  They were married in 1889 and there are four births on the Vic indexes.

As Cando said earlier...lots of interestingbiplays but we still havent found the death details of Amelia. Is there any leads over in Western Australia? Why i ask is because i once saw a reference to an Amelia Deed / Button in WAcluded her as i didnt think it was relavent and now cant find the original reference to recheck - probably will be another dead end. Keep looking folks

Have you searched the online bdm's or cemeteries in Perth?
