Haven't looked at trees...

The Advocate 6 Dec 1944

Mabel Marion Brooks sought to have her marriage with John Joseph George annulled on the ground that the marriage was bigamous. Petitioner said that in June,1939, George went through a form of marriage with her and they had co-habited at Kingston. He told her later at the Royal Hobart Hospital that he had been charged with bigamy because he had been married and his real wife was still living. After George had given corroborative evidence, Sir John granted a decree.

Perhaps some certs MAY help. The 1909 marriage cert should give you information about John's place of birth, his parents' names including his mother's maiden name and father's occupation.

I did wonder if that was him in 1949, no occupation with his medical issues makes sense.

He was buried at Carr Villa Cemetery at Launceston on 1 Nov 1949. He was at that same address on the 1943 roll.  He was noted as an invalid pensioner in one of the news items.   Election day was 10 Dec 1949.

Yeah, it's still not comfortable, with lack of DOB and parents it's still up in the air, as you say a cert. of some kind may clinch it

Hi Guys, Thanks everyone for the info, Having trouble finding his parents. Thank you.

[waynos2009]

Thanks Cando. That would be great. (Do you need the registrations of four of their children - births are only available to 1920.)

Hi, If there is anyone living in Launceston, would they be able to get a photo of the headstone for me? I am living at Ballarat. Very much appreciated. I will be happy to give my personal email address to the person that has a photo. Thanks.
