DEATHS
JOHNSTON, David Leslie.-July 18, 1963, of 52 Glebe Street, Glebe, dearly loved husband of Vera, loved father of Veronica, David and Leslie and fond brother of Eleanor and William, aged 56 years.

No idea who John is in 1949. Not a brother or father.

This is a brother.

1936, 1939, 1943 & 1949 NSW Electoral Roll - West Sydney - Glebe
JOHNSTON William John, 31 Glebe street, labourer
JOHNSTON Dorothy May, 31 Glebe street, home duties

1954 NSW Electoral Roll - Watson - La Perouse
JOHNSTON Vera May, 69 Yarra road, Yarra Bay, home duties
JOHNSTON David, 69 Yarra Bay road, Yarra Bay, labourer


I'm not sure what is going on here. Address in the death notice fits the early rolls. David Leslie calls himself Leslie for a few years but David with Vera May in 1954 and not at Glebe address.

 

[horse]

John is at 52 Glebe Street in 1954, on his own.

John is at 52 Glebe Street with Leslie [David] in 1958 [no one else named Johnston]

JOHNSTON John, 52 Glebe street, railway employee * I have no idea who that is

Maybe William's son?

[DaveHam9]

There is only one marriage for a David Johnston to a Vera.

Death for John?

Not in Ryerson with 'late of Glebe'

 

[horse]

There are a couple of trees using William, one says there is a William b. 1903 and d. 1903, not checked yet, no mention of David/Leslie. There is a possible William b. 1904 parents = William and Evelyne.

Probaly 2x David & Vera?

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

I didn't have that one.

That's way I wondered 2x ??

Only one marriage found so far.

One more odd thing re 183 Victoria avenue, Chatswood. I looked up the valuation rolls at the Chatswood Library and there is no No 183.

Oh! I'll check the address in other years in the rolls..

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Dunno Geoff.

Another Vera M.

Marriage 4214/1916 JOHNSTON JOHN - MITCHELL VERA M - AUBURN

 

[horse]

Oh! I'll check the address in other years in the rolls..

Not seeing that address, even with Johnston?

Geoff

 

[horse]

Getting overrun with Vera M's

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Apart from 1963 any other year with 2x Vera M Johnston?

It has to be the right one at this address because this is his grandmother.

1930, 1933, 1936 & 1943 NSW Electoral Roll - West Sydney - Glebe
JOHNSTON Rachel, 52 Glebe street, home duties

Grandfather John died in 1925 so that's not the railway employee.

 

[DaveHam9]

No death in NSW 1930 - 1989 for a Vera M Johnston.

No death in Ryderson that would support 2x Vera M in NSW.

 

[horse]

Apart from 1963 any other year with 2x Vera M Johnston?

Doesn't look like it..
