MOYLAN Thomas Joseph

[philt]

The above TJ Moylan is the grandfather of someone I am helping to research her family history. However with this fellow I have hit a brick wall. He was born in 1883 in South Australia and lived in Perth. He was married with 3 children and his wife died in 1909. I can locate him in the rate books in Perth in 1912, and the last trace of him I can find is a newspaper article where he is listed as having attended in 1915. I have looked through indexes of different state records but am unable to find any trace of him after 1915 that is definitely him. His father was James Joseph Moylan and his mother Ann Ryan. If anyone can suggest where I might look next then tell me. When in Perth he was a stovemaker at Metters. Cheers Phil

The Ryserson Index pinpoints death notices for two different Thomas Joseph Moylans.

MOYLAN   Thomas Joseph   Death notice   29MAR1953   Death   51    late of Moonee Pond    The Age (Melbourne)   31MAR1953   

MOYLAN   Thomas Joseph   Death notice   12AUG1954   Death   66       Sydney Morning Herald   14AUG1954   

Going by age second one shows the birth year of the NSW TJM to be 1887-1888. It could still be worthwhile looking up the death notice in the Sydney Morning Herald to see what it says.

Thanks for the replies. I have spent hours in Trove and state BDM indexes. If there is a death record in Ancestry I have been into trove to check details, especially the ones mentioned. never him. The funeral of Annie Moylan, his mother seems to be his last sighting. I seem to be having trouble replying to posts individually hence this post. His children were Leonard 1904-1956, Thomas 1907-1977, and Frederick 1908-1984. All were born in Perth. All died in Perth. There are a number of Thomas Joseph Moylans in interstate voting registration books etc, Some have family which rule mine out and some are single individuals. I have no way of knowing if the single individual could be him. In Ancestry one individual family tree lists his death, but they are mistaken. It aint him. Cheers Phil
