Don't think so Val.

1943 - 1974 living in Auburn.

However there is something odd. Bessie not with William after 1964.

William is junior but just odd that he uses it in 1974.

I'll look for that notice in SMH at the library on Wed.

Can't see a marriage in NSW that fits a Bessie Catherine.

A Tree on A has Bessie died around 2007 Sydney, had a daughter Noeleen who married Bruce Robinson 1929 -2016 and they had a son Craig Robinson 1958 - 1958

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Val.

Noeleen was one of two daughters who had married by 1975, the death of their father.

Around 2007, so might be hard to find in newspapers. No result searching SMH Tributes index.

Not RC Rookwood - burial or burial of ashes.

Not Woronora or ESMP or Macquarie Park.

Not Northern Suburbs. Here is the 1998 one.

Spent the afternoon at the local library and while there looked for Bessie Kathleen May and did not find her anywhere with any surname in the electoral rolls in NSW.

I haven't got the 1965 E/R, in 1968 Bessie is not listed.. the only female at that address in 1968 is Esther May..

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Esther May is William's mother.

Looks like they split up 1964 or 1965.

Until I found 1990 I had nothing after 1964 for Bessie.

Dave

 

[horse]

Esther May is William's mother.

Looks like they split up 1964 or 1956.

Yeah looks likely, she may be using any other of her first names for whatever reason...

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Curious.
