NSW Marriage 963/1874 BLACKBORROW HENRY - GARDNER HARRIET - SYDNEY

The Sydney Morning Herald - Thursday 10 July 1919 p.6
DEATHS
THORNLEIGH [sic].-July 9, 1919, at Sydney, Lilian, dearly loved wife of the late Charles Thornleigh [sic] and beloved mother of May, also dearly loved daughter of Mrs. H. Blackborrow, aged 34 years.

It would seem that Harriet was alive as of that date but Henry was not.

Looking for deaths for Henry and Harriet.

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks Rupert.

I continue to have problems with NSW BMD.

Thanks Geoff.

I was gardening between showers but now it's solid rain. :biggrin:

The 1917 notice mentions Ben and Florrie and Annie. Daughter Lilian died in 1919 so she was not mentioned. ??? One daughter was Florence May:

BLACKBORROW Florence May, Petersham-road, music teacher
BLACKBORROW Harriet, Petersham-road, domestic duties


Where is the death reg for Henry for 1915?

Where is the death reg for Henry for 1915?

Dave

Goodness knows, where ever it is, I suspect there will be an error in the record

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Or a reason for no reg such as an inquest.

NSW BMD worked for me.

Death 3550/1915 BLACKBURROW HENRY - JOHN - MARY A - LIVERPOOL

Not in Ryerson under either spelling.

 

[horse]

Excellent, I wonder why Anc. didn't have it

Maybe it was my error :biggrin:

 

[horse]

Interesting that Harriet was on her own between 1909-1915

Geoff

 

[horse]

Ah! That's the error, it's under Blackburrow :biggrin:

He died in Liverpool Hospital but I can't find any notice in 1915.

The Sydney Morning Herald - Wednesday 23 February 1916 p.10
IN MEMORIAM
BLACKBORROW.-... Henry (Harry) Liverpool Hospital ...

 

[horse]

Ah! If he was in there or other institutions for a while that may account for Harriet being on her own...

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Probably no way of finding out when Henry was admitted.
