Hi JM

You have been recommended as being V good on NSW records - so I'm back asking about Wm Mayes b Sept 1862 in Ireland .

I have now been told that he possibly was a founder 1887/owner of the Centennial Food Emporium in Sydney and that he regularly travelled back & forth between NSW & Ireland from 1884 to his death in 1943  possinly not as much after 1923 when his wife in Ireland died. Do realise from stuff you have sent that he lived with his son Wm Greeley Mayes as recorded in census .

Can any of this be supported by records ?  Passenger lists-  Is there a death notice published in the SMH or similar ?

Any help much appreciated

I think this is his death notice

Adding : it is quite easy (but addictive) for anyone to search through http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/  the
digitised newspapers up to 1955

Sorry Cando you gave this death notice in reply #5 - my mistake

Sorry all if you have already linked the death notice - I have so much stuff supplied by you good friends that I missed it - When I gave an update to my SIL I could not find it and so requested again - di dum di dumb

Hi

Sorry for the very late reply. Just found this website. Jeannie Oliver Mayes (Snr) is my great grandmother. Her daughter Jeannie Oliver Mayes (married name Giles) was my grandmother. Happy to help with whatever info you need.
