The Suffolk, Captained by Deith (same as EC Gaunt's captain)  arrived Brisbane Sept 12, 1908. He states the voyage to take 60 days. I don't think this is the same voyage that EC Gaunt was a part of.

However, I did recheck EC Gaunt's passenger list on the SS Suffolk ...there is 3 pages of the crew list on the 4th page are the passengers where it states that they left LIVERPOOL to CAPE TOWN, SA then to MELBOURNE .... how long would that take?

deb ...trying to figure out if Olive is his daughter ... ;D

Debs, about six to eight weeks, allowing for cargo to be discharged and ballast/more cargo loaded.

I can't wait for that birth cert for Edna Frances....

Also, what are the chances that the witnesses to Edith Gaunt nee Corrin's marriage to George Forsyth could possibly be
Edward Cecil Gaunt and Elizabeth Connolly  ;)

As an aside, searched The Times 1907-1915 for any sign of a divorce Gaunt v Gaunt .... not found a likely one, but noticed there's often a third surname mentioned ... probably either a nee name or a co-respondent's name.  Found it ODD though that Divorces were heard in the PROBATE & DIVORCE & ADMIRALTY court  ;)  ... what a combination for those judges to need to have deep understanding of those various Laws.

Cheers,  JM

Nothing new.http://www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id=2196

Thanks YT - not new but interesting to see the ship on which he was serving!

Deb - stop looking for passengers - he was crew!!  Or are you looking for passengers for some other reason I haven't yet fathomed??

Though I don't like it much Deb, I think your 'story' has some merit!!   ;)

I really don't think Emily left a will - we've searched and searched and are still searching - Edward left her bankrupt - she may not have had anything to leave!!   Yeah,  I know . . . . .!!!! 

Her father was well heeled - but he doesn't seem to have left her much in his will - presuming her husband would take care of her I suppose.   and he may not have had time to realise the state of affairs, as he died a week after Edward.

Re birth cert for Edna F. -  Jaywit and Toni have warned that it may not enlighten much anyway.


Round and round the mulberry bush, the monkey chased . . . . . . . . . .  ;D ;D

OK JM - if Edna's cert. PROVES that Edward was her father, I might go for the next marriage cert.    ;)

There is ONE thing that does not really make sense to me...

I know that the family advised the Tas Supreme Court in 1934 that Edward Cecil GAUNT was last seen on the SS Suffolk in 1908 etc ....  BUT .... How/who/when was that discovered ... was it in 1927 or was it in 1908 when he then went missing .... a rhetorical question of course....

The Passenger list (which includes crew) has E C Gaunt, aged 38, native place MAIDSTONE ... so initially I had presumed that would be Maidstone, Kent UK .... BUT ....

Did I overlook that there's Maidstone near Devonport in TASMANIA ?  Yes, I did overlook that cause it did not occur to me to even check that until now.... It's only a locality NOW ... wonder what it was back in the 1860's .... and and and ... there's a Maidstone in Melbourne Victoria too .... 
 
Wiggy ...  Edward and Emily GAUNT ... did they or their respective parents or other family members have property at Maidstone, Tasmania  or Maidstone, Melbourne ;D...

Cheers,  JM

I'm trying to stay calm here

. . . .  but I might have found Edward Cecil leaving Australia!   I mean how many Cecil Gaunts are there in Aus at the time -    :-\   ::)   ;D

From Melbourne  -  Cecil Gaunt 32 on the Narrung to London via the cape Dec. 1896   (1896 - 004)   

I'd only looked in Tasmania before - being a bit narrow minded in these things - he could easily have left Tasmania as plain Mr Gaunt.  Will search Tas again!  or Victoria incoming!

Fingers crossed

BUT ....

don't overlook that other Cecil Gaunt ... the one born in Victoria who became Lt Col Cecil Gaunt ... could that chap on the Narrung to London be Cecil Robert Gaunt .... http://adbonline.anu.edu.au/biogs/A080647b.htm

Oh my fingers are crossed, I do hope you are finding ECG and NOT CRG

yes well he could - and I can't find ECG leaving Tasmania - but then he might have sailed over in on of the family yachts   ;D    ;)    8)

Oh well - that age was absolutely correct for my guy though - was Cecil Robert exactly the same age???    says she clutching at straws!!     Must go back and see!    I wish I could keep just a little of this info in my head!!!

re Cecil Gaunt .... I do think he is Cecil Robert Gaunt ...he travels back and forth a lot ...

ECG ... never seemed to lie about his name even when marrying for the 2nd time and also , hopefully , being EC Gaunt aboard the SS Suffolk ....

Cecil seems to also be traveling when ECG is making babies  ;D
