LOOKING FOR ANYTHING ON NORAH NIXON (nee DOWLING ) after 1953

[Brian1]

I have managed to trace Norah Dowling born 1893 in Melborne who married Archibald Duncan P Nixon on 12th June 1916 in the Congregational church, Dowling Street,  Moore Park, Sydney. Archibald died 5th November 1953 in Mosnan NSW.
How do I find if they had any children or when Norah died?

Probate for Archibald Nixon - Date of Death 06/11/1953 http://investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/Entity.aspx?Path=\Item\840639

Probates contain useful information and often include, death certificate, children etc

The only death notice I can see for Archibald does not mention Norah at all - only that he is the younger son of the late Mr and Mrs W J Nixon of Hurstville.  Privately cremated.

Thanks Judith for the info.
I do know they were married but its strange she is not in any of the death or funeral notices. This would make me suspect that she had either died prior to him or that they had parted

Hi there,

There’s an index mention of a Norah Nixon  re Elizabeth Dickson Brinkman v Johann Hermanus Brinkman, 16 Jul 1928 to 9 Apr 1931, at Archives Investigator   NO WAY to tell from that index entry if it is the ‘right’ Norah.   
http://investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/Search.aspx

I have looked at the 1930, 1937 Electoral roll and Elizabeth Dickson Brinkman was at Hurstville. 

Would you be interested in the 1939 marriage of a John Hermanis BRINKMAN and a Nora Heloise NIXON, registered at Woollahra (#2680)   There’s a death for Elizabeth Dickson BRINKMAN at age 71 SMH 31 Jan 1939, late of Hurstville.

There’s a death for Johannes Hermanus BRINKMAN in 1970 (#6190)

There’s a death of Nora Heloise BRINKMAN SMH 28 Dec 1996, at age 95.

Interesting... In the funeral notice for her brother John Edmund DOWLING, she is referred to as “Miss NORA”. SMH Friday 17 July 1925 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16227806?

Death notice of brother Michael DOWLING (death 26th Dec 1971, aged 68). SMH 31 Dec 1971 http://www.rootschat.com/links/0x7x/ (page 12 in this link)... "beloved husband of Alice, fond brother of Norah Dowling"
159/1972 Michael DOWLING; Father – Harry; Mother – Margaret; Sydney
