Thanks Merlin

I suppose it makes sense but I thought all  the Mayes  girls renained in NSW !  If Russell  was a Fruit salesman then his life in Qld is logical ?  Presume if the notice you limked is correct then his wife Byrd has "gone walkabout" back to Sydney - he is not mentioned as you say in her Obit  - and certainly no reference passed back to the UK
Perhaps I will hear more when I get to communicate with the descendants of her sister Kathleen Hill ...

The death registration in Qld extend to 1964 and it would appear that Russell may have died between 1964 and 1968.

Have just lost an informative post re Russell Hepburn WALTERS >:(

Late for me now but briefly he was married in SA to a Sylvia Newton THIELE with whom he was on the electoral rolls to 1954 and then on the rolls in 1958 in NSW with Byra [sic] Elizabeth.  He was an 'investor'. Bankrupt in 1927. 

I can't find a marriage in NSW.  Perhaps they married in Qld and online records are not available for that period ie between 1954 and 1958.

I will type it up tomorrow.

Hi

Can we return to core Mayes Family - can't find death of Kathleen M Hill nee Mayes also am new to Ryerson Index but can't find several death announcements - I go to the correct date for SMH annd find either there is no paper for that day or that the right day does not include the stated announcement -  Help please - that goes for several that you have mentioned in connection with Byrd - Bissell , Walters etc

Next what happened to Mr Hugh Thompson & his wife Mary who travelled with Jeanie Oliver Mayes who entered on the Afric in 1913 ?
Need suggestions on how toidentify the next generation down ?

Cheers

I am puzzled why you can't find your people on the index?  If I have mentioned their names are on the index there will be a death or funeral notice. The archived Sydney Morning Herald is only available for searching for the years 1956-1989.

You can request a lookup of a notice from the website if you are having difficulty locating a particular copy of SMH.

Do you have their parents' names please.  Difficult to identify in the death indexes.  You can search here.

To whom are you referring as to date we have helped with a number of the MAYES family.  Death certificates in NSW name the issue of a marriage ie if known to the informant.

We are all volunteers on the forum and I for one consider it is a two way participation ie between the person requesting information and those who choose to assist because they enjoying helping others find their family in Aus.  I am sure you will understand we appreciate some sort of feedback or appreciation taken for the time to research and type up the information.  Please accept my comment in the spirit in which it is written. :)

To date I have found no electoral roll listings or deaths for Kathleen M or her husband Roland F HILL...and I have spent quite some time researching.  Do you have either of their second given names please?

Cheers  :)
