Thanks gibbo.

Stuck re Henry.

 

[gibbo]

Stuck re Henry.

Yeah Henry isn't making it easy.
I did find this that might help narrow dates down on him a bit. Son, Martin Richard Phillips has a military record and has his mother as his next of kin [until he married] Address looks to be Western Australia but having his mother noted and not his father left me wondering if he died before 1916 when Martin joined. So maybe looking at a death for Henry Charles before 1916.

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks gibbo.

Yes, it is WA.

This is a typical complicated one.

Two divorces that may be linked although not proved. Remarriages for both parties followed by another divorce.

 

[gibbo]

Yeah I read that article about the divorce earlier.
Do you know when the family were in VIC?

 

[DaveHam9]

Not sure about Vic. gibbo.

Birth 3034/1891 KILFOYLE Verdie Linda - Wm - Alice Ann STEVENS b. North Fitzroy, Vic.

but both marriages were in WA.

Phillips family may never have been in Vic.

 

[gibbo]

Was Martin a only child? He is the only one mentioned in his mother's obit.

 

[DaveHam9]

Not sure about that gibbo.

It's the only one with father = Henry Charles and the only one in district Encounter Bay.

 

[gibbo]

Ok we know Mary Jane died 1937 and he is noted as late Henry Charles. Gee don't know much about Henry do we

 

[DaveHam9]

No. Perhaps he vanished or died around 1882. Seems no more children.

 

[DaveHam9]

I'd say this one in NSW can be ruled out.

PHILLIPS Henry Charles Death notice 08JUL1936 Death at Roseville, formerly of New Guinea Sydney Morning Herald 09JUL1936

No age.

 

[gibbo]

Ok we know Mary Jane died 1937 and he is noted as late Henry Charles. Gee don't know much about Henry do we

And he isn't noted on his son's military records dated 1916 so im assuming he wasn't on the scene then.

 

[DaveHam9]

Strathalbyn is a long way north of Encounter Bay.

I've been searching Trove again in 1880s looking in that area.

William Henry Phillips but no Henry Charles.

 

[gibbo]

I have to log out and pack the laptop away, heading home tomorrow so packing the car tonight to leave early in the morning. If nothing more has been found I will have another look in a day or 2 once I get home and sorted.

 

[DaveHam9]

Ok, thanks gibbo.

I can't find anything in Trove that helps.

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Val.

Good to get the name of Henry's father but it may not help find Henry's death.

Ok, we had a suggestion Henry had died by 1916 now possibly by 1908 or 1903.
