Rescued - Ernest Norman Marks (Melbourne)

[Paul Caswell]

Hi All,

I found Ernest in a box of photos on a stall at a craft fair and couldn't resist him. I would love to give him a good home with a descendant if we could find one.

There is this death in Victoria 

 MARKS   Ernest Norman  died in  1971  aged 82  at ARMA ( probably ARMADALE)  father  Bernard  mothers name  not known  registration  no 10640

this  would  indicate that this particular  Ernest Norman MARKS was  born  in  1889  which  in  my  vrey limited experience  would  be around the  period of time  the photo was taken 


this  is the  birth details

MARKS  Ernest Norman  born 1888 at  MElbourne
father Bernard mother Jane BENJAMIN  reg no  31136

Thanks Jenn,

Excellent sleuthery!

So that puts the date of the photo at about 1890. Do we have any details about the photographer Stewart & Co. working at 42 Bourke St. East at that time? Just to confirm.

Is there any hope of finding a marriage for him?

Paul,  did you  find the photo in  England?

I found a connection  that  might prove why  that was

Irene Hannah  Marks married
Donald Ellis Henochsberg   who  was born in  London  and died  there  and so  did Irene


the couple  married in  England in  the third quarter of  1924

Stewar & Co  were  photographers in  Melbouren  there are plenyt of adds  for them in  the online old newspapers

[sparrett]

The HENOCHSBERG.s came  to Melbourne perhaps for  a visit,

HENOCHSBERG Donald Ellis
born 1892
year 1925
from  Liverpool  to Australia Melbourne 


HENOCHSBERG Irene H
born 1892
as above

More information about these passengers may be available, but  I am not in a position to see it.

NZ Marriages go to 1932 and  I cannot find  them  marrying  there in  or in Victoria
