Australian Electoral Roll

CHATFIELD Rhoda May  52a Beatty Avenue, Victoria Park   HD

Rhoda Olds
you have a record for: Rhoda Olds married to Charles Earnest Chatfield in 1948 in Western Australia.

It should be Rhoda May Old. She was my grandmother. She divorced Charles and married my grandfather.

She was born may 25th 1931 in Perth WA
she had 2 sons to Charles.

Richard Charles Chatfield born in 1949, died march 19 2003 in Perth WA

Robert John Chatfield (Chaddy) died 1988 in Kalgoorlie WA.


I cannot see a marriage in WA to the end of 1965 and she died in Mar 1965 so why was she buried as a CHATFIELD?.

 Rhoda's father?:

Death, WA, 1946 #23, registered at Canning WA
Charles E OLD

There are death notices for this man, Charles Edward OLD, aged 61 (b abt 1884), whose wife is shown as Ethel Mary and he has step-sons Allan and Trevor WEARE.  There is no mention of a previous wife or children.
http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/46158295

However on the next day is a death notice which states that he is the father of "Rhoda and Dorothy (USA)" - no mention that Rhoda is deceased.
http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/46158517

Outgoing UK passenger list show a Chas E OLD, farmer ticketed to Fremantle, 3rd class passenger on the Omrah out of Tilbury (London) March 1911, with his wife named "Mrs"  ::)
Fremantle inward passenger lists correspond with Mr and Mrs Chas OLD arriving 4 April.

Quite a long gap to Rhoda's birth, though  ???
