hi cando
i have just spoken to nana she has confirmed the spelling as BEGBIE...She is a little disappointed that Elma Ruth who could possibly be a half sister only died 3yrs ago. This all seems to fit, looks like cyril died 18yrs before jean we are assuming jean then went on to meet Newman seen as she is buried as Newman we are also assuming she never remarried just took on the surnames of Begbie and Newman. It was rumored that she had 2 more children after leaving Jack and lived in Elsternwick/Glen Iris...
sorry cando the infomation i was refering to that i sent via email is as follows:
the date of death for Jack Cleave Blakey is 3/8/2008 (4th child of Jack and Jean Blakey) and Benjamin stanley blakey is 10/2/1993. Basil and Beryl are still alive. Please let me know if you would like any further information children etc..
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL THE INFORMATION SUPPLIED!!!

kind regards
Kristy
