MAYES family descendants in Oz

[~MERLIN~]

Purely by chance, happened to notice this birth:
Kathleen M MAZE
Father:  William A A MAZE
birth: 1905 Glebe, New South Wales

William A A MAZE married Catherine W BUCKLE in 1904 & they have children registered under the name MAZE from 1905 onwards.

Hi All thanks for your help - hope I can return the favour sometine

Elizabeth " Bird" Walters was in a private retirement home near Sydney when I saw her - neither my wife or I can remember the address but will eventually get it from a UK relly .

Kathleen was defo born 1908 in Ireland - She married Roland Hill and we know they had a family pretty large from rumours

Elizabeth Mayes wife of William was born in Melbourne (surname unknown ) of Dutch descent we think . She came back to give birth to her eldest child Jane believed as in Sydney but I suppose could be Melb ?

Lastly in 2001 a lady called suzanne posted a request for news on her great aunty Caroline Cassin who married William Greeley Mayes - If she is reading this please contact as I can fill in the detail

  Thanks very much- I assume from the content that she had no kids of her own ?

Just looked up the obituary for you:

WALTERS, Bryd Elizabeth - July 31 1985, late of Ryde, loved sister of Jane, Gertrude (Ireland) and Kathleen, beloved aunt of their familes.

No mention of children or a deceased husband

Thanks

Her name appears as Byrd Elizabeth in all records I can see.

Byrd Elizabeth Walters appears to be living in QLD 1963-1968 perhaps even earlier, then in NSW 1977-1985.

Are you sure that 1975 death of Russell James Walters is the correct one?
The obit you requested shows that it's not her husband.

Looking at QLD records she is married to Russell Hepburn Walters.

Russell Hepburn WALTERS was her husband, here is the notice regards his Will & estate granted to Byrd Elizabeth Walters:
