Thanks gibbo.

There is no sign of a middle name for Augustus in those birth reg so it is probably the right death.

It's not this one:

BARNES Lydia Funeral notice 23JUL1935 Funeral Sydney Morning Herald 23JUL1935

Notice for Lydia mentions the same three children so it's the two deaths in 1939.

find it very strange that 2 sons
James Barnes b 1887 - died 1959 Burwood
Alfred John Barnes b 1898 - died 1951 Waratah
are not mentioned in parents funeral notices, haven't checked where/what happened to:
Violet b 1889 - married a Browne - died 1938
Henry b 1893
Ivy Lillian b 1895 - died 16 March 1930, she had baby Arthur Edward Platt 15 March 1930 and her burial notice SMH 17 March 1930

regards
Val

Thanks Val.

I agree. Strange.

That's an error with father as Augustus Stanley. That's a brother of Annie Violet/Violet Annie:

BARNES Augustus Stanley Funeral notice 10OCT1938 Funeral late of Parramatta Sydney Morning Herald 10OCT1938

I think some Electoral rolls might help.

The tree with Henry as Henry Francis is totally wrong.


I found another tree with ancestors of Augustus and Lydia but it lists no children for them.

North coast of NSW

Drake County is one of the 141 Cadastral divisions of New South Wales. Drake County was named in honour of Sir Francis Drake. It is located to the north of parts of the Clarence River, Nymboida River and Mann River.

The place is Tabulam. I've stopped at the cafe there for morning tea two years ago. :)

Does not look like it's connected.

This Grace's marriage

6907/1931 FREW DAVID C - BARNES GRACE L - RYDE

FREW Grace Louise Death notice 02MAR1987 Death 86 late of Abbotsford Sydney Morning Herald 04MAR1987

I'm off to the local library now for a few hours.
