Christian names only?

ESSIE.  It looks like you are saviour.  If it's true, it's a facet of family history that has been a complete mystery to us. I'm sure my youngest sister, who has put a lot of research into this side of the family, will thoroughly check it all out. TEDED (Martha's grandson)

One mystery solved with Alice  - and not only was there another daughter but a son as well.  Indeed some truth in that family story!

But the whereabouts of Daniel McBride SCOTT is still unkown. Was there a marriage breakup or had Daniel died prior to 1898?

Now also an added mystery pertaining to the BASSETT surname.

Yes, one mystery solved, and of course more questions found!

I have double and triple checked the 1903 roll for Nymagee, no sighting of anyone named David McXXXXXXX etc, and of course there's definitely only ONE Alice Helena BASSETT listed there,

So when did Mrs Scott become Mrs Bassett ... well, sometime between 1900 (when she was either Miss Upton or Mrs Scott as per the b.c. rego) and 1903 when she was on the electoral roll, without a Mr Bassett listed (I stress again, Mr Bassett may have chosen NOT to enrol .... or perhaps he was not there, or perhaps ... he was not a British Subject, ie not born in any of the Colonies, nor anywhere in the then British Empire .... or perhaps he was enrolled within that electoral but at a different polling place ....

The rolls I am looking at are NOT keyword searchable, so it is not an easy task... sorry ...

1903 NSW ER The Darling,

polling at Bennett's Flat
Emily Arabella BASSETT of Tooloon, d.d.
William BASSETT, of Fairview, grazier

polling at Coonamble
Emily Arabella BASSETT of Tooloon d.d. (JM comments      Emily was probably enrolled twice, just to make sure she was able to vote for that first time for females !!!)

Polling at Girilambone Copper Mine
Flora R BASSETT, of Girilambone Mine d.d.
Francis BASSETT, of Girilambone Mine, teacher

Polling at Warren
Thomas BASSETT of Warren, a labourer

I have gone through just each polling place, these are all I can spot for BASSETT, the other surnames ... well I am not sure if I will find them, Bassett is usually on the first page and thus easier to spot.  I may have missed some, if so sorry.

Cheers,  JM

From Essie's reply (#22)

Death in 1922 NEWTOWN  district  #2036
BASSETT  Alice H 
Parents THOMAS &  MARGARET

Perhaps the Thomas Bassett on the roll as at Warren in 1903 could be related...

UPTON 

NSW ER 1903, The Darling, Nymagee

Henry UPTON, a miner at Nymagee (no street address)
Maria Anne UPTON, at her domestic duties at Nymagee (no street address)

As there is no street address on this copy of the roll, do not presume Henry and Maria Anne are at same address, or are related to each other. 

Cheers,  JM

You are all very clever RootsChatters!!!
I have just come home from work to find the mystery of many years - or part thereof - solved. Alice Eleanor Upton was my great grandfather's sister. The Henry Upton (in above quote) was also her brother.
There has been great work done on this family of late -

Thank you again for all your hard work.

Just saw the latest replies - Alice's parents were Thomas Upton and Margaret Connolly - so that is her!

Re David SCOTT

EDIT TO ADD, JM had looked up wrong given name .... see later posts.

Has anyone looked at the following probate packet at the NSW State Records Office at Kingswood
http://srwww.records.nsw.gov.au/indexsearch/keyname.aspx

SCOTT David
Condobolin
date of death 24/02/1904
Probate granted 20/06/1904

There are two likely deaths indexed for 1904 NSW
David Scott son of John and Agnes registered at Orange ref 2598
David Scott son of David and Anne registered at Carcoar ref 12770
I doubt either of these would be for a death at Condo, but the locality in the NSW SRO is where the main part of the real estate was, rather than where he death occurred or was registered.

PS, NSW SRO keyword search should also be considered as a pointer for any divorce records


Cheers,  JM

So pleased that your longstanding brickwall is falling down   

Please when the various transcripts of the various BDM certs do arrive, do consider posting the details from these...

Especially the one for Alice for 1922.

Cheers,  JM
