Constance DIXON death 1965
« on: Tuesday 23 October 12 06:50 BST (UK) »
Found a relative Constance Mary DIXON her death is listed on The Ryerson Index 30th March 1965 as published Sydney Morning Herald 31st March 1965.
Did not expect to find her in Sydney and now would like to know where she is buried, or how do I find a script of this newspaper notice? Any person out there willing to put me on the right track?
                                                      Regards Mike.

The NSW BDM online index shows the death of a Constance Mary DIXON, was registered at Hornsby.  The given names of her parents are recorded as Herbert and Elizabeth.

NSW BDM dcs are well detailed in three main sections.  The details about the deceased person as given by the informant include parentage and marriage/s and children of the marriage/s. The informant’s name and then address is noted. The details of cause of death is certified by a medico.  The details of the burial/cremation are detailed by the Funeral Director (includes where interred).   

Transcriptions of NSW BDM certs are a cheaper and quicker option than the real deal cert, and contain all the information available on the cert.

Constance’s dc is referenced 21924.

It appears that DIXON Constance Mary on March 30 1965 died (suddenly) at hospital

She was the dearly love wife of the late Frank Oliver Dixon, loved mother of Joan and Greg (killed RAAF) beloved sister of Agnes Willis and mother-in-law of Michael and fond grandmother of two.  At rest

Hi Mike,

I have sent you a PM for death and funeral notices for both:

Frank Warren Oliver Dixon - Date of Death 14/12/1959.

Both services held at Northern Suburbs Crematorium.

There are also probates for both at Kingswood State Archives. I have included the links in the PM to you.

There is also a service record (digital download) for Frank Warren Oliver DIXON

Rosball.... Cupoflife....MAJM.... Many thanks for your effort to trace death notice of Constance DIXON. You are all on the spot with your information, but I was a little over excited, should have checked a little better. My Constance DIXON middle name is Martha not Mary, born c1878 nee EKINS. married Percy J DIXON 1904 and had 5 children in Melbourne.
Your information helped me rule out a wrong lead. Many Many thanks Mike

Hi Mike

  here is Percy Jeffs Dixon's death and funeral notice http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article10981790

Funeral notice says he is buried at Kew at the Boroondora Cemetery.  Perhaps Constance is with him?

regards,

Cando. great that you found her death as her mother and father"s names all tie in with my information. Will try for DC. to confirm her resting place.
Rosball. I did know about Percy DIXON being buried at Kew and the Trove notices. Percy is with his first wife Helen nee Ekins ( sister of Constance) and a son Roy aged 1 ( his first born with Constance)
 Your help, time and expertise is a wonder to me and I only hope I can return the favor to you all THANK YOU.................Regards Mike
