Thanks Val.

This is one of the harder ones and not just because it is Victoria.

A death with father George to match father of Edward.

Married to a Mary Ann but can't be sure it's the one with Hilda in 1916.

 

[DaveHam9]

They may be brothers and may both be upholsterers but proving it will not be easy.

Searching for Charles or Edward Norman AND upholsterer gets nothing of use.

Dave – a bit of a long shot… if Edward’s wife Ada Elizabeth died after giving birth to the twins (they died April 1900 too) and Hilda would be around 5 yrs, went to live with Edward’s brother Charles and wife Mary Ann and Edward took off..

Found a Vic Assisted & Unassisted Passenger list for 1889 which has

Thanks Val.

I think that looks possible.

We know from the marriage the father is George. And we know that is daughter Hilda in 1916.

No Will on PROV for George senior.

There is only one death in the index in 1929 and a tree has a George born 1841 St Neots, Huntingdonshire and died Bairnsdale, Victoria on 9 Aug 1929.

Can't see a notice in Trove yet.


I'll have a look at George junior.

NORMAN GEORGE C 12394/1908 GEORGE ANNIE - SYDNEY * 15 Dec 1908

Can't see a notice in Trove. Not listed at RC Rookwood.

Not in Deceased Estates Index.

Need to find a bit more to confirm the picture.

Death 1928 NORMAN George EventDeath Father Unknown Mother Unknown (Unknown) Vic. Reg. no6047

Searching the exact string "Charles Norman" or "George Norman" gets no hits in Trove.

fulltext:"Charles Norman"~0

 

[DaveHam9]

No progress with this.

 

[Bootzy]

this lot are very illusive...

Name: Geo Norman
Birth Year: abt 1838
Age: 51
Death Place: Sandhurst, Victoria
Registration Year: 1889
Registration Place: Victoria
Registration Number: 9769

Wonder if this could be a possible for father – anyway of finding if it was after arrival in July 1889 as age fits..

Thanks Val.

Nothing in Bendigo Cemeteries database.

[DaveHam9]

Same address.

Jewish Herald (Vic. : 1879 - 1920) Fri 5 Jan 1900 p.9
Mr. C. Norman, upholsterer and cabinet maker of 67 Toorak-road, has had many years' experience in England with some of the most eminent firms in the trade, and is prepared to do good work at a moderate price.

Late Maples London.


Why a clerk in the shipping record?


I can't see Charles in 1881 census.

 

[DaveHam9]

I've spent the afternoon at the local library looking at census records and electoral rolls.

I looked at Charles over the years to check who else might have been at the same address.

No help though.

Not sure what to think.

Charles advertising in Jewish Herald so unlikely to have been born Ireland.

I'll email the cemetery and ask if there is any Jewish connection to Joshua Jordan Memorial Lawn. Sent.

[DaveHam9]

Searching and searching Trove for Edward.

 

[Bootzy]

Woo hoo – think I have found Edward Norman..

California Passenger & Crew List has an Edward Norman on steamship “Sierra” sailing from Sydney 13 May 1902 arriving San Francisco - California 2 June 1902, age as 37 yrs, single, an Upholster from Melb


Now did he stay/die over there ? and where is he on census rolls..

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Val.

That age fits with the age in 1889 shipping record.

If that is the right arrival for George and his three sons then very curious Charles is not advertising before 1900 and in the Jewish Herald.

It would explain why Charles can't be found in 1891 census. 1881 ??

No sign of Edward in the departures from Victoria.

Dave

 

[DaveHam9]

No reply yet from Springvale cemetery.


The 1906 San Francisco earthquake ??

No further sign of Edward.

 

[DaveHam9]

I've received a reply from Springvale Cemetery. There is no Jewish connection to the Joshua Jordan Memorial Lawn.

Why was Charles only advertising in the Jewish Herald?
