John PHILLIPS & Eliza KING

Death 1935 RANDWICK 
 PHILLIPS  JOHN 
Parents JOHN  ELIZA 

RANDWICK   - (thats the area the hosp is in isnt it?)

[majm]

Yes miabar,

I think the Prince of Wales Hospital (Randwick) was responsible for many of the Returned Servicemen from WWI ... I know that a number of those chaps spent considerable time there, my late Grandfather received SGW and also mustard gas issues from The Western Front.  On his return he was orderly at that hospital and from private family papers he attended to quite a number of patients who were Returned Servicemen, also some of the Nurses and Sisters at that hospital had also served in the Clearing Stations at "The Front"...  Grandfather's papers refer to it as a Repat hospital and I have always understood this to be Military Repatriation.

Cheers, JM

I do think miabar's on track for the parents of John who was born Bathurst 1861 ...
Those death registrations for John W PHILLIPS 1897 at Newtown and Eliza PHILLIPS 1917 at Newtown can be followed up ...

I'll see if I can find Eliza on the 1903 Electoral Roll

Back shortly...  EDIT 1 Elizabeth PHILLIPS, domestic duties at 11 Raper St Newtown/Kingston in LANG electorate (no other PHILLIPS at that address, lots of PHILLIPS in that local area)  EDIT 2 NONE are John, NONE with occupations associated with Loco Engines or Railways...

Cheers,  JM

Thankyou, I've found the two death certificates, I'll send away for them to find out if there the right ones, but I've had no luck on the electoral roll yet.

Time now to call it a day, Thanks once again for your time & patience.
Till we next chat

Hi Neil, the death cert shows the PHILLIPS name, but we don't know if it was ever done legally.

REF No: 30409/1958  PHILLIPS  NORMAN JOHN  JOHN  BEATRICE MARY  PENRITH

Birth Cert shows :
REF No : 1090/1894  RICKETTS  NORMAN J     BEATRICE  SYDNEY  

and Thanks Jm, I'll check that out

Just to throw in a little more re the above

Marriage at Penrith in 1930

Norman John Phillips married Kathleen M Green  referance 924/1930.


nyteowl do you know of this marriage above or feel that it may be connected seems odd that the coincidence of Penrith and Same name is there?

I am searching for information on John Phillips (birth -1895)  married Eliza King (birth-1912) I'm not positive on the dates though.

They had one son John Phillips died 10th July 1935. Unsure if there was any other children.
The son was married 3 times.
1st wife:  Ellen Langley m 1884,
2nd wife: Beatrice Ricketts m 1901, (my great grandmother)
3rd wife:  Mabel Hardcastle m 1904.

Information on John & Eliza, or any other info greatly appreciated.

That may not be your Eliza's death in 1912.  The index seems to indicate that her maiden surname was HAWLEY, and there is a HOWLEY/PHILLIPS marriage in 1869.

PHILLIPS is quite a common name and I think you should follow up on JM's suggestion by getting a transcription of John's marriage certificate/s.  Death certs can be useful, but they can also lead you on a wild goose chase.  If you are interested in getting a copy of John and Beatrice's divorce papers then there is usually a copy of the marriage certificate included.

I did find a John PHILLIPS/Eliza KING marriage in Gloucestershire Worcestershire in 1851.

Death 1917  NEWTOWN
PHILLIPS  ELIZA E
Parents:  JAMES K     SARAH M     

I think this is Elizas death in 1917

[Dundee]

I believe that in post #49 Merlin has established that this is Eliza MURRAY, born in 1861.  John W. PHILLIPS (born c1857) is buried with Eliza's parents at Rookwood.
