Hannah had a daughter in 1907 Alma Daphne CRANE 1907/C10415

So if there is anyone out there with information about Alma or any other family it will be greatly appreciated.


Alma Daphne CRANE: DOB = 8/8/1907

There was also another child born before she married:

Sidney Charles CRANE: DOB = 21/2/1910

The father's name is not listed for either of these births on the index.

This is getting exciting Terripat  I sent your details to Janette Assay and she is happy too and contacted you.  I contacted a cousin in Rockhampton  some years back and they didn't seem so interested as I was deeply into ancestry and wanted to find out more about Dads Sister Hannah so it's nice we are getting together on this now .My email address at present is (*)

Still after thursday this week could change as I am going broadband at last.Can send you photos of hannah and a lot of their family plus grandma Crane   Looking forward to hearing from you again soon. I will contact Almas son too .Regards Dell

Hi Dell, Janette and Merlin,

This is great I spoke with my mother in law June (nee Assay)
she doesn't have an email but she asked Janette if your Dad was known as "Boy" she said her father (dec 1956) had an older brother who was fondly known as "Boy"?
Janette do you have a brother?  I think Junes brother and sister have been in contact with someone from Rocky and also Aunt Veras daughter. She was to Charlies second wife Winifred.
She knows Auntie Iris, Vera, Les?, she never knew of Auntie Alma, so Alma must have been raised by Elizabeth Crane/Burton (nee Brooks) and then there is Sidney and James who was stillborn.
So does anyone know what Hannah died from she was terribly young still aged 32?
Alfred served in the WW2 and there is some information about Charlie and Hannah being registered as Japanese for both World wars Charlie was not interned  during the first but he was sent to a camp during the second.  I thought it unusual that Hannah registered herself as Japanese along with her husband because she was English (she must have been some character)
We went to Rocky and we visited their graves Charlie, Hannah and Winifred are altogether and amazingly right next door is one of my ancestors a Mcmah.
Have you read about Hannahs death  on the Trove website?
Sorry Dell the moderator removed your email address so you will have to send it via a Personal Message.

Warm Regards
Teri

hi all, well this certainly is hotting up, terri whose wife are you, because i think you are Gregs wife, hopefully i am right. June was married to my uncle Alfie who died on the way home from a funeral(if i am correct) and she has 3 children, 2 girls and greg, one of the girls names is Yvonne. I hope this makes sense to you. yes, my dad was known as "boy". and yes he was Alfie's older brother. then i think aunty Iris and aunty Dulcie and uncle Ronnie, then there was by a second marriage "Gertrude Winifred", gerti as known by my mum i can recall.they had, uncle lesley aunty Vera, i hopefully have not left anyone out.Aunty Vera's daughter is my cousin Donna. i knew that grandad got intered in the war, and i remember my mum saying that all his children were fighting for australia and my grandmother couldn't get any money to live on. Terrible times..at some stage Aunty Alma must of come and lived with the family, cause my dad knew her..he must have because he was calling her name when he was dying...i recall my mum saying that Hannah died of a heart attack, uncle Ronnie was 1 year old..very young..but she had been through 1 hell of a lot in her life..
how did the grave look, the last time i saw it10 years ago ,it was nice and clean, and 1 other thing my grandfather did, was to let a man who had no money when he died to be buried in his plot with Hannah, i don't know his name..
I look forward to this epic journey continuing,
Janette

Hi Janette,
I am married to Junes son Andrew, (June is Alfies oldest daughter) Greg is his uncle, and Alfs only son.  Yvonne is Junes sister and at the moment she is overseas on holiday.
June had 6 children, Andrew is the oldest he had four brothers two whom died at a young age (childhood) and a sister Desleigh who passed away 1979 age 19.
June married Andy 1956. Andy died in 1976,  only 2 grandchildren  Yvonne married Graham 1960 and they have three children and nine grandchildren  Uncle Greg is only four years older than my husband (his nephew) and he has one daughter who is 14/15 now. He was a late starter.
Did your Dad have a relationship with Grandmother Crane/Benson?
Well seeing as your Dad was known as "Boy" then his niece June knows him as a matter of fact Uncle Greg got a photo done up for June and because he was only 4 when Alf died it's actually your Dad not Alf they are very similar looking.  I don't know whether Alf died on his way home from a funeral but I think I will PM you with my email as that would be best given that we are talking about rellies that are still kicking.
Talk soon
Teri
