Author Topic: Look up a Death Notice please (Read 797 times)

I am trying to find a death notice for my grandmother, Maria Louise Cole. Along with her husband,Owen Joseph Cole and three children she emigrated to Canada approx 1902. I think they were somewhere in the prairie states.
My grandfather and children returned to England around 1908 and then went to Australia in 1909.
When he arrived there he was accompanied by his eldest son, Robert. No sign of Maria or her daughter and son.
I hope someone can help me here, it would be appreciated.
Cheers Dot.

The family appeared on a passenger list arriving 16 May 1903 - Lake Manitoba going to Winnipeg Manitoba.

Owen J Cole aged 42 years
Maria L Cole aged 28 years
Kathleen Cole aged 6 years
Robert Cole aged 11 years
Frank Cole aged 2 years

Ignore the age of Owen as 112 years, he was 42 years, it was mistranscribed.

Online tree has Kathleen in a school in England in the 1911 Census. By 1936, she is in Australia and she dies there in 1993. Frank (Walter Frank) is in an infirmary for children in the 1911 census. By 1925, he is in Bruce Rock, Australia (where his father is also noted in Robert's WWI attestation papers). He dies in 1980 in Perth.

Thank you so much, Sandra and Eileen Wilson.
Yes, this is definitely my grandmother, Maria Louise Cole.
I have found her at last thanks to the wonderful people at Rootschat.
How sad to realise she had only been in Canada a short time when she passed, and so young too.
My father was Robert Cole.

Thanks once again Sandra and Eileen Wilson for taking the time for me.

Kind regards, Ozdot.
