Hi Jane,

Mary's death appears in the Ryerson Index. You can request a copy.

Death Notice 25 Dec 2004 and Funeral Notice 30 Dec (Border Mail Albury)

I am becoming concerned that we may be discussing a living person here as we have not located a death or burial for Reginald.

Cheers Kris

Hi all

Thanks very much for the death notice of Mary and the emmigration record.

It didnt dawn on me Kris that I could be in breach of the rules....I know this chap was age 71 in 1990 and was not in the best of health at the time but it is only 21yrs ago so I suppose he could be alive still and in his 90s now

Thanks again

Jane

The Border Mail, Dec 28, 2004
Death Notice:
ORTON, Mary Patricia (Pat) - passed away at Tallangatta Hospital on Saturday Dec 25, 2004, aged 85 years.  Dearly loved wife of Reg (dec).  Loved mother and mother-in-law of Angela, Jim and Julie, Bronwyn and Michael.  Loved grandma of Kim, David, Chris and Catherine, Mark and Jess, Tim and Elizabeth.  Great grandma of Jordyn and Jacqueline.

There are two other separate notices - one from Bronwyn, Michael, Tim and Elizabeth, one from fellow residents and staff members of Bolga Court Aged Care Facility, Tallangatta.

Funeral to Tallangatta Cemetery.  Undertakers: Riddingtons, Tallangatta, Corryong.

This aged care facility is still in the phone book:
Bolga Court Hostel

You may be able to find his death by writing to them.  Tallangatta is not a big place so you may be lucky to find someone at the Hostel who can help you.  The other place to try might be the undertakers.  Some of them are very helpful in passing on family information  - some aren't 

Riddingtons
Akuna Ave
Tallangatta, 3700

If phoning from overseas leave off the first 0 in these numbers.

Good luck - Judith
