Cecil Howard DUFFY (Born 1888)

Unfortunately no catalogue entry for Westminster Gazette at Australian National Library.  Perhaps a library in Dublin may hold archive copies?

Nothing in The Times around 1922.              Judith

No death or funeral notices in The Age or The Sun unfortunately.  Hardly surprising!

Hi Judith,

By any chance could there be a funeral notice for his wife, Amy Duffy, who passed away on  10 Feb 1956 in Fairfield, Victoria? At that stage her daughters would have been aged 37 and 32.

Additionally would the be a funernal notice for Amy's brother, William Austin Pengelly who passed away on 16 Dec 1976.   William migrated to Australia in 1927 and lived in the family home with Amy as noted on ER 1931, 1936, 1937, 1942 and 1949.

Many thanks,
Mark

Jenn.. Surprise surprise lol his wife Amy and her brother, William Austin Pengelly were laid to rest at Faulkner as well. funny that there is a record of them at the cemetery though it's like Cecil's record has been deleted?! Another mystery lol how can someone just disappear?

There is also a Probate notice stating that
Clara florence Lewis is the executrix of the will.

Here is a death for Clara she was cremated at Faulkner   
 Clara Florence Lewis  July 28, 1983, aged 73

Cheers Sue

Thanks Sue... would you have the link to the Probate notice?  I am interested to understand who Clara is as I would have expected Amy's brother, William (Austin) Pengelly to be executor.  Clara is not a relation to Amy - could be a friend? Cecil's sister?  Its interesting to note that Cecil is not mentioned at all in the notice.

To help clarify who the people are in the death notice;

Ena Brockley (later Ena Rogers - nee Duffy) - my grandmother (no birth cert locatable)
Samuel Brockley (Ena's estranged husband at the time)
Betty Bartlett (former Betty McMenamin - nee Duffy)
Harold Bartlett (husband of Betty Bartlett)
William 'Austin' Pengelly (Amy's brother from England who migrated to Australia in 1927)
