Irene May McENTEE

[bacall]

I am helping a relative who is trying to find information on her grandmother Irene May McEntee born in South Australia (possibly Kadina) and died in Adelaide December 30th 1935.  She was 32 years old and a photograph developer.  She may have died in a private hospital on South Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia.

I do not have any other information.  This is my first post.  I am a new member.

Hi Bacall

Welcome to rootschat

Starting with what we know and it appears that Irene's official status was single at her time of death.

Death
MCENTEE Irene May
30 Dec  1935   32 years  Status Single  No relative noted
Residence North Adelaide   Death place Adelaide   Ade  HX  576/5134
Cross Reference BARNES Irene May

BARNES Irene May
30 Dec 1935  32 years  Status Single  No relative noted
Residence North Adelaide   Death place Adelaide   Ade  HX  576/5134
Cross reference  McENTEE Irene May

I can't see a birth for an Irene May McENTEE in South Australia.  I would suggest purchasing a transcription of her death certificate which will give you the following information.

From the SA Resources board -

Death Certificate Information
1908-1947
    * Date and Place of Death
    * Name
    * Sex
    * Age
    * Occupation
    * Usual Residence
    * Birthplace
    * Length of Residence in Commonwealth
    * Age at Marriage
    * Number of Issue Living and Deceased
    * Cause of Death
    * Place of Death
    * Informant

Transcripts are available from
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,280572.msg1367795.html#msg1367795

I will mention that on occasion, I have waited simply ages for transcripts from SAGHS.

You could also try the following if you do not live in Metropolitan Adelaide - residents are required to do their own research at the Unley Library.

You need to make two more posts and then you can use the personal messaging [pm] system.  Click on the green icon on the left and under the username of the person to whom you wish to send a personal message. I have sent you a pm with some additional information.

I originally came across Irene May McEntee's name in another post on this site when mariac was asking about Clarence McDonald.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=230116e3868af64e47ab5d8fc75d75b9&topic=371468.msg2457346

This post would appear to refer to Irene's mother and father, 2 grandfathers and her siblings.

McENTEE Michael  22 years  Single  Father Thomas McENTEE
WHITFORD Marlan 20 years  Single  Father Elijah WHITFORD
19 Apr 1885
At the Sacred Heart Church Kadina    Dal 143/381

The person I am helping to find out about Irene McEntee (her grandmother) was unaware of the existance of her relatives. 

Is there any information about the birthplace of the earlier generations?

Thank you very much.

Hi bacall

It would have been useful to have linked the thread you had previously found in your first post.  You actually had Irene May McENTEE's birth already.

This is obviously the birth to which you refer ....in Western Australia not Kadina.  Many South Australians left the mining areas eg Kadina etc and travelled to the mining areas of WA at the turn of the last century.  Many also went to Broken Hill.  My OH's forebears are amongst those that went from  Kadina to both areas.

From the Biographcial Index of South Australians - not 100% accurate and there are many errors and omissions but a good resource.  I would say there is quite a bit of submitted information on these two entries.

Thank you so much for all the help - sorry about not including the original link - I am new at this and didn't think to do so!  The information is overwhelming as we had nothing previously.

Now that I have the name and year of birth of Irene, Ellen, Mary, William and Francis McEntee, I would like to know if and when they married and if they had children, and when they died.  We know that Irene had one child, but Irene did not marry.  I read that Ellen married (in the other link)

Marriage

I will go to the indexes as BISA is not always accurate but then there are also registrations missing as well.  I always like to validate any information where possible.
