Prowse Of Talbot

[Sani]

Hi All         I am looking for one Henry Prowse who married Eva Bailey in Talbot.    My grandfather was Henry Richard Prowse who marr Gladys Ross, so its not him, but his brother John marr Lydia Bailey. It is said that Lydia came from Adelaide as there is a few Bailey relatives living there but no word on Henry and Eva who would have marr between 1900 and 1920.  Hoping someone can help

Sani,

Perhaps you could explain where the HENRY you are seeking fits in with the other 2 man you mention.

The death of JOHN CHARLES PROWSE who married LYDIA shows this way on the Vic index


PROWSE John Charles
Father William
Mother Marcon Sara  HARRISON
Death Place: GEEL
Age 86
Age Code:
Year1967
Reg Number 17703

The death of HENRY RICHARD PROWSE

PROWSE Henry Richard
Father William John
Mother Sarah Jane  HARRISON
Death Place HEAL
Age 83
Year 1959
Reg Number 27845

There are also deaths of women who appear to be their sisters.

HENRY RICHARD did marry GLADYS MARGARET ROSS and one of their children was a HENRY PROWSE

PROWSE  Hy
Father Hy Richd
Mother Gladys Margt ROSS
Birth Place TALBOT
Year 1908
Reg. Number  7257

If this is the man you are seeking, his marriage would have been much later than the time frame you give though it still does not show up to my eyes.

OK. I have just revised the previous thread (thanks DEBRA) to which JANET666 and I contributed last year.

I feel quite confused by your  request at this point and will be best to leave the research to others I think.

Henry and Eva who would have marr between 1900 and 1920.  Hoping someone can help SANI
 

Why would you think a man born in 1908 would marry between 1900 and 1920?

Sorry  I am probably not explaining myself too well. Lets see if I can clarify myself a bit.
There appears to be two Henry Prowse' and I am trying to fit them together if possible. My grand-parents were Henry Richard Prowse and Gladys Margaret Ross married in 1905 and were the parents of Henry Prowse born 1908( he married Alice Vale in the 1940's) My grandfather's brother John Charles Prowse marr Lydia Ellen Bailey in 1920 ( she was born 1888) We know her sister was Eva Bailey whom we think married the other Henry Prowse and they both would have been born in the 1880's - 90's. As far as we can tell, the three couples were married in Talbot and were very friendly and attended family functions together.
If I try to go further into the tree, I'll end up confusing you more. Hope you can understand what I'm trying to do.

Hi Val,

Information gathered in the previous thread shows that there is no record of Lydia having a sister named Eva.  Her cousins were Eva and Henry BAILEY (brother and sister) who show on electoral rolls as living together at Talbot.  Eva never married and died in 1970.  There is also no record of an Eva BAILEY marrying a Henry PROWSE.

Have you asked surviving family what they know about Lydia's cousins Henry and Eva?  Lydia appears to have been close to them and I think you need to clarify whether or not your family have confused the relationships.

 Hi Debra     It was Lydia's grand-daughter who gave me the info and I tried to help her but got so confused that it drove me to distraction. That's why I thought to seek help in the hope that a new contact could be found, as it doesn't look like I'm going to get anywhere with the records. I might just have to forget about them.  Thank you all for trying to help me.
