Looking for info on Joseph Crombie
« on: Tuesday 03 January 17 00:00 GMT (UK) »
Looking for some information and leads around a Joseph Crombie (born approx 1883).brief summary of Josephs details

Joseph married Margaret Jeffery in Irvine Scotland on the 2nd Jan 1918,..no children,..and tragically Margaret died the following year on the 2nd March 1919 aged 38 years.. from influenza.

Joseph looks to have made the decision to emigrate to Australia on the 18th July 1927.

Joseph returned from Australia on the 25th June 1938 (aged 56).

HOWEVER,..

I have further information that Joseph may have returned to Australia,,..but did return to Irvine between 22nd June 1953 until 8th October 1953 (aged 71) before returning to Australia,..although I need to get this clarified.

Therefore to assist with my 'hurdle' I need to But firstly find another UK departure for Joseph (before June 1953) or a death certificate as I believe he would have died in Australia.

Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated.

King regards

Gary Crombie

There are a few Joseph CROMBIE deaths in Australia, do you have any idea which State he may have been in?

There is this (only possible) death in NSW in 1962, reg no 14644. His parents' names were probably not known by the informant, so on the Index it says "80 years late Narrabeen". And on the Ryerson Index of death notices it says died 12 June 1962, there was a death notice in the Sydney Morning Herald on the 13th, will try to look it up.

I have managed to locate the travel document that indicates Joseph's return to Australia therefore,...I feel he must have died in Australia and I am unsure if he had any children or married.

Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated

All his travel documents state he is travelling to Sydney. And can only get a rough birth from a census - 1883.

The death notice for Joseph in 1962 says "loving husband of Nellie". There is a marriage of Joseph CROMBIE and Nellie Geno WYNN at Paddington in 1955 (reg no 10181), so again, just a possibility.
