1914
FEARN Louisa  400 Smith Street, Collingwood   Home duties

1919
FEARN Louisa 282 Waterdale Road, Heidelberg  Home duties

Louisa died in 1922 in the Melbourne East registration district. Often registrations at Melbourne East are for deaths at the Melbourne Hospital.    I have searched the online databases for Fawkner, Springvale, Kew and St Kilda. She is not buried at Footscray or Melbourne General.  There is a cemetery at Heidelberg and if she is buried there, there is no headstone.  My great aunt is buried at Heidelberg and the cemetery trust holds the burial registers but has not responded to my numerous requests for a grave location.

Louisa's death certificate would give you information including her place of death, her usual residence, cause of death and place of burial.

You can purchase an image of her death cert online [$17.50] and immediately download.

You need her surname, year of death and registration number...and your credit card

I can't find burials at the any of the online databases of the larger cemeteries, however Preston cemetery's deceased search has been disabled for sometime and Preston is north of Northcote so they could be buried there.  I understand the management may be installing a new system of marking grave locations.

There are marriages for Frederick's children.  If you want them just ask.

Do we know when Edgar James Gregory died?

Also could someone give me some idea how far apart these places are please.

Thanks

Yozzer, are you also related to these people?

[rosball]

He died 26/5/1939  http://www2.mcb.wa.gov.au/NameSearch/details.php?id=KC00000229

Distance from Melbourne to Perth about 3500 kms

Here is a table of distances of capital cities

adding : same website gives distances from major cities to capital cities http://www.travelaroundaustralia.com/travelling-around-australia.html

Wow Cando - you have been busy    Almost an entire tree! 

[cando]

Do we know when Edgar James Gregory died?]

Yes if you read through the thread you will see he died in Perth in 1939.

Perhaps you could use google maps to find the places of interest .

Louisa Redfern(nee Collier) was sister to my great grandfather Edwin Collier b.1847

Thankyou to all those people that responded to my post.The response has been overwhelming. I have learned such a lot from your replys!
Just one query?
Were Rubina Elizabeth Gidney and Ruth Esther Rowell the same person?

Best Wishes
Yozzer

[cando]

Were Rubina Elizabeth Gidney and Ruth Esther Rowell the same person?

Yes.  Rubina Esther/Ruth Esther was born in 1879 and her mother married in 1884.  I don't see her name as Rubina Elizabeth anywhere.

ROWELL Florence born Carlton
GIDLEY Thomas born Victoria

I have just found this thread and got confused reading it. But I am looking for an Arthur Fearn, born 1882 in New Zealand, and disappears from NZ (unmarried) about 1913. I suspected he went to Australia. Is there any chance that anything on this thread is relevant to this?
