DAVIES sisters - Sebastopol

[MissyJ137]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to find a marriage or death record for 3 of my great grandmother's sisters. There is very little that I can find so am hoping that someone can help.

Charlotte Mary DAVIES born 1874 Sago Hill (near Ballarat)
 - 1903 Electoral Roll, Bala Street Sebastopol, Dressmaker
 - 1909 Electoral Roll, Bala Street Sebastopol, Dressmaker

Annie DAVIES born 1878 Sago Hill
 - 1903 Electoral Roll, Bala Street Sebastopol, Tailoress

Winifred Catherine DAVIES born 1882 Sago Hill
 - 1909 Electoral Roll, Bala Street Sebastopol, Weaver

Their parents are Charlotte THOMAS (1841-1903) and David DAVIES (1836-1902). All daughters were unmarried at the time of their parents deaths.

Many thanks,
MissyJ

Thanks for the link Merlin. The previous thread is about the parents David and Charlotte. I've been stuck at this same point for about a year without finding any more info on the sisters.

Hi Missy
Not finding anything for the 3 sisters.
Noted in their Mothers Charlottes  Will http://www.access.prov.vic.gov.au/public/veo-download?objectId=090fe273802f1261&format=pdf&docTitle=Image&encodingId=Revision-2-Document-1-Encoding-1-DocumentData
that they were all allowed to live in the house Bala St Sebastopol until they married. Might be worth finding land records for the property to see when it was sold.
Also would be worth finding and checking the Death Notices for their other siblings John, Margaret, and Susannah to see if there is any mention of them.
Sorry couldnt be of more help.
Cheers Leonie

Hi Leonie,
It's like they've just disappeared! Do you know how to find land records when I don't have a house number as all the way through the probate documentation and electoral rolls it's only listed as "Bala street".

I'll have to go to Ballarat Public Records Office to get land valuations and the Ballarat library for death notices from the newspaper archives for their other siblings. I've searched the Ballarat Cemetery and can't find any deaths listed under their maiden names so had assumed that they had all married at some point.
Cheers,
Missy

Just to investigate all options, Rootschatters with more access maybe able to provide further information on 5 deaths between 1938 and 1980 with father David Davies and mother Charlotte
If this is your Annie then she lived to a very good age
Death 1980 Annie ? father David Davies; Mother Charlotte

Had a look at Trove?

Yes, there is no mention of them at all.

I wonder if this will be any use in pinpointing the house number in BALLA Street.
It is from 1904 Post Office Directory for Vic and gives a little information about the neighbours which could narrow down the search.
