I may have to contact the NSW State Archives re Alexina being in Newington Asylum. Could be interesting.

[Neale1961]

Place of burial for both Charles and Alexina – Rookwood, Church of England

Thank you for that.

I may have to contact the NSW State Archives re Alexina being in Newington Asylum. Could be interesting.

Newington Asylum was mostly for the elderly, though it also was available for the "ordinary pauper population", it began as an asylum (hospital) for infirm and destitiute women. After 1913 it was known as the Newington State Hospital and Asylum for Women.

Admission cards, patient medical reports etc only available at the Archives.

I'm wondering also now the proximity of HOPE LEE (nee White) Ernies mum and Ernie and his family in BELMORE.

On the Electoral Rolls from 1937 up until Ernies death in 1952 he was living at 25 FORSYTH St. Belmore.

1944 from Hope Lees notice in the paper she is in Westwood Avenue Belmore.

Is this just a coincidence??

Re the below I sent to the WA library. 

https://slwa.wa.gov.au/pdf/battye/police_gazettes/1908_Indexto30June.pdf
 
From the above link I have found
 
 Ernest WHITE on page P7 Apprehensions, WHITE, ERNEST 83
 
On page 22 for Prisoners Discharged WHITE ERNEST 104


There response was:-

The State Records Office WA (SRO) have the digitised version of the WA Police Gazettes for some years. You can move the bar along the bottom under the picture of the gazettes to view particular years and search them. You can find the 1908 Police Gazette by selecting this link. Select the image of the Gazette that appears, wait for it to load then scroll down to the pages you want, 83 and 104.

Page 83 has this:- See attachment
Page 104 per attachment

While there were quite a lot of photos of the prisoners there was none that I could find for ERNEST WHITE I think there is one for William HULME though, will see if I can find that again (page 151)

Ernest's release.  This is only for 1908 though, I need to go through the link again BUT I could not see a Gazette that corresponded with the 1909 Newspaper report of Ernie being told to "Leave the country"  I think that was 1909??

Also re the Belmore entry for HOPE LEE I'm now sure that is the correct one as her Granddaughter Norma Beryl Greaves is living there as well 4 Westwood Ave Belmore.

Thanks everyone.  Dianna

Looking at the Prisoners discharged for the week up until 28th August.  He was sentenced to 7 day's so should be included in this week.  I looked for the previous week as well, not there.  No photo.  Hmmmmm!! Dianna
