Looking for mother of Stanley John Leonard from Albury NSW

[sparrett]

This may be the correct property, Norong Park which was run by a family named JACKSON about the time of Ellen’s address being there.

Ellen Ireland - Leonard. She lived in Preston, Brunswick, Northcote. She died in 1935 approx in melbourne.

I have given you the electoral rolls listings for Ellen.  I cannot see she lived in Preston or Northcote.  Are you confused with the MOORE's who lived in Northcote?

She was also at Rutherglen in 1921.

Stanley served a two year apprenticeship with the Acme Nut & Bolt Co at Jeffcott Street, West Melbourne, so could this be her as well. The only LEONARD at the address.

I had been searching for an electoral roll registration for Stanley in the 1920's and it seems
Stanley was in Albury by 1926 when he was fined for falling to register to vote.

The Record  13 Dec 1924

“Because It Was Too Easy”

A young man named Stanley Leonard appeared before the Bench in the South Melbourne Court on Wednesday to answer a charge alleging he was likely to desert his wife Caroline of 173 Victoria Avenue and two children.
Accused’s wife said that after she had found out her husband had thrown up his work as a fitter at the Newport Workshops she discovered he had packed his bag and secreted it in the yard at their home.
Leonard declared he had no idea of clearing out.  He had packed his bag to be ready to move out of the confectionery business when it was sold.  He left his work at Newport because it was too easy and he preferred an active job.
Mr W G Smith, PM, said the case would be adjourned for 14 days, to give the accused an opportunity to do something intelligent meanwhile.  If Leonard did not satisfy the Bench he was genuine in respect to supporting his family, he might find himself going to a place where work would be found for him.
Mr Rogers appeared for complainant.

Sydney Morning Herald 27 Dec 1927

ALBURY.-
On the Sydney road a man named Stanley Leonard, of Hume Weir, sustained severe injuries to the right leg, and as a result the limb was amputated below the knee. He was coming in from the weir between 6 and 6.30 p.m. on a motor cycle, and when passing round a grocer's delivery wagon on the road, collided with a motor driven  by George Bishop, Inspector to the Hume Shire Council. Leonard was taken to the hospital, where it was found that he had sustained fractures to the right leg in two places below the knee.

Ah, so there is the accident.
This must be when he was taken for treatment to Albury Hospital and met nurse Edna who was then aged 20.

Oh my...You Ladies are amazing It took me ages to find the bit of info I had.
Preston (once again family recollections) was mentioned by Mum as somewhere that Granny Leonard took her on her visits. Stanley was a member of the Preston Gun Club ...I cant remember the correct  name..he received a medal there.
It may have been the Moores. Her death cert. mentions Brunswick.
You found the accident I didn't remember the details well
And the "it was too easy" court article..wow. There you go he couldn't face up to telling her he was leaving his job and did he tell her he was leaving her!!! I loved my Grandmother she was a lovely Lady.

I wonder what Stanley did in the 3 years before the accident.

Nurse Edna didn't know what she was getting into. From reports, they had a hard life together. He drank, was humorless and didn't work much so they were poor with a large family.

Possibly this is the rifle club - established 1910

Hi All,
Still waiting for the  Birth certificate 10743 / 1889 LENARD   Stanley      ps  Edward / Helen              Albury.  I ordered a hard copy  an image may have been quicker.

I bought this before and I must have thrown it out because it didn't fit what I thought at the time.

It will take 9 weeks to send...it has been 4 weeks so far.

Am making some changes to the Chinese ancestor info. having found Henry John Robert Gee Sing D. 1942 Kangaroo Flat Bendigo - mother Maria Lydia George!!! George Gee Sing was her husband. I think she is the mother of my grandmother Lillian Louisa Agnes Stevens. There is no Mary Ann Solomon. Maria Lydia is all over TROVE Bendigo and Deniliquin.
