That was the only John & Catherine I could find.Hello cp,
Sorry about that. If you had asked me I'd not have known where Blackwattle was either.
I've had the 1913 E/R prepared for months. Didn't realise until I added the 1913 to the database I had something missing, viz. John's death reg. and doubt about his parents being John & Mary.
Deaths that are 1926 but parents don't fit:
# 5126/1926 RILEY JOHN JOSEPH ELIZABETH SYDNEY
# 19959/1926 RILEY JOHN CLEMENT IRENE M PADDINGTON
--------
The Sydney Morning Herald - Friday 24 June 1904 p.10
FUNERALS
RILEY.-The Friends of Mrs. MARY ELIZABETH, HARRY, ROBERT and JOHN RILEY are respectfutly invited to attend the Funeral of their late dlearly loved HUSBAND and FATHER John Riley, to leave his late residence 23 Mead-street Waterloo, THIS AFTERNOON, at 1.30 for the Necropolis.
That notice fits the John & Mary buried together and they had a son John. But is that John the same one who died in 1926 and was married to Catherine GANDON ? In other words, did Catherine have brother-in-laws Harry and Robert RILEY?

Hello cp,
I'm making no progress. I can't even see the death of Robert and Harry with parents John & Mary. There are dozens of RILEY deaths with those parents. From the children buried with John we know the John who died in April 1926 was the spouse of Catherine and he was born about 1857. It's not the one born in Maitland, who died young.
If Harry & Robert are brothers of this John where are they in NSW? John, Robert & Harry have a sister Etta.
Death # 5365/1920 JACQUES ETTA JOHN MARY REDFERN
Lots of funeral notices for related families and no mention of the GANDON family.
Looks as though that John & Mary are not the parents of the spouse of Catherine.
So we are back to these deaths:
# 5126/1926 RILEY JOHN JOSEPH ELIZABETH SYDNEY
# 19959/1926 RILEY JOHN CLEMENT IRENE M PADDINGTON
The Sydney Morning Herald - Thursday 9 May 1889 p.1
MARRIAGES
RILEY-GANDON.-April 8th, 1889, at the Glebe Presbyterian Church, by the Rev. Andrew Gardiner, John Riley to Catherine Gandon, daughter of William Gandon, Glebe.

Dave

Hello cp,
Thanks. Yes. That's the right family. There should also be a Joseph GANDON d. 1893.
One of the 1926 deaths can be ruled out by this:
Marriage #4720/1919 RILEY CLEMENT FITZGERALD IRENE M V NEWCASTLE
Marriage # 2025/1875 RILEY JOSEPH MORRIS ELIZABETH BERRIMA
That probably rules the other one out as John was born about 1857. So where is his 1926 death reg?
# 173/1926 REILLY JOHN F ROBERT SYDNEY ??
# 16178/1926 REILLY JOHN JOHN SARAH KOGARAH ??
Regards,
Dave
