Mrs D. F. Cummins, of Blenheim, Pine street, has been advised by the military authorities that her son, Private Jack Cummins, has been wounded- second occasion. No further particulars, were furnished.


Riverina Recorder - Sat 17 Nov 1934
Mr. J. G. Cummins, of Melbourne is spending a holiday with his sister, Mrs E. A. Grabau, of "Lynwood". His portly figure has been umpiring for Burrawang.

Riverine Grazier - Fri 15 April 1932
REBNER— CUMMINS:— .OniFebruary 9th.at the church of Th£ Holy Name, New York City, by Rev. Father Meyer, Sister Kathleen, third daughter of Mrs. Cummins and the late Daniel F. Cummins, (late of Hay), to Henry S. elder son of Mrs Rebner and the late Mr. Rebner, of New York City.

DEATH
GETTER (Cummins):' On 19th January, at Los Angeles, California, Mary Ellen, wife of Charles Getter, loving mother of Francis, Jack, and Mildred, sister of Eileen Grabau, Balranald; Jack, Kit Rebner, New York; Doreen Johnson, Hampton, Victoria. -Aged 65 years. 'R.I.P.

on Mother Kate's death 1943 has - She is survived by one son and four daughters, two of whom are in the United States.

so John/Jack was still alive and kicking in 1943

wonder if this is him popping over to see his sister Kathleen - she was a nursing sister who went over in 1931/32..and married in 1933.

Thanks Val.

Marriage 1996/1919 GRABAU EDWARD A - CUMMINS EILEEN D - HAY

I didn't have this one

Riverina Recorder - Sat 17 Nov 1934
Mr. J. G. Cummins, of Melbourne is spending a holiday with his sister, Mrs E. A. Grabau, of "Lynwood". His portly figure has been umpiring for Burrawang.

Is that Jack/John or a 2nd son who died before 1943. ?? Can't find a death that fits.


Birth 16782/1893 CUMMINS JOHN J - DANIEL F - KATE - HAY * 14 Apr 1893

There does not seem to be a service record that fits.

118x Cummings and not one born Hay.

112x Cummins and not one born Hay.

J J J born Young - KIA 1916.

Burrawang is in NSW between Moss Vale and Robertson in southern highlands.

Oh. Where are we going?

...
Private J. G. Cummins, who returned to Hay on Saturday night, filled the place of some absentees by singing 'The Trumpeter' in good style, and in response to a hearty encore, 'Until.'

In two places we have J. G. but the marriage is Jno Josh. It's the right marriage because it's the right death

We have been here before and eliminated J G for some reason. We have more from Trove this time around.

KENDALL Jack Gregory : Service Number - 6521 : Place of Birth - Maryborough QLD : Place of Enlistment - Melbourne VIC : Next of Kin - (Sister) HUGHES R A

Perhaps last time we didn't realise Kendall was Kate's maiden name? So J G would be probably Kate's nephew who as Cummins became an 'adopted' son. ??

It seems rather odd that there are 2 marriage records for Dorothy May/Mary in 1920 - 1 to a Kendall and other to Cummins.

Then no service record for Cummins but 1 for Kendall and when looking at his medical records also has wounded - GSW to face 12/5/17 - could Jack Kendall be John Cummins?, his sister as NOK Mrs R A Hughes Whitton NSW & his address at time of enlisting is 17 Princes Terrace, St Kilda Rd Melb - parents dec and he was also a Clerk. religion RC - if he's son of Robert & Ellen nee McCarthy - then Mother was dead but father very much alive... I think he told some porkies to get into the Service.... has been known to happen. and on the marriage in 1920 saying son from USA - notice there's no initials to check on...

no John/Jack G Kendall on Qld BMD 1891-1893 and 1 x John in 1894 to John Kendall & Martha nee Harding - no marriages in Qld or NSW for a Kendall to Hughes by 1916

Martha died 1 Nov 1926 age 86 Qld - no mention of sister Mrs Hughes in funeral notice or of any Cummins

Thanks Val.

Not an easy one to work out.

Enlisted as Kendall with Mrs 'Hughes' as a sister. He should then be the son of Robert Henry Kendall and Ellen McCarthy, but no birth in Qld. index.

The letters to Maria have him as 'son' Jack Cummins. Is he Maria's son?

But the birth fits in the middle of the children born to Daniel & Maria.

Birth 16782/1893 CUMMINS JOHN J DANIEL F KATE HAY * 14 Apr 1893

The Riverine Grazier (Hay, NSW) - Tue 2 May 1893 p.2
Birth.
CUMMINS.-On the 14th April, at Toogimbie Station, the wife of D. F. Cummins, Engineer, of a son. Both doing well.

If that's the birth why say Mrs Hughes is a sister and why enlist as Kendall?

If it's the 1893 birth then Sarah is not a sister.

No death in NSW or Vic 1893 to 1917 for a J Cummins with mother = Kate.

So we have a birth for a J Cummins and no birth for a J Kendall.

We know Kate (Mrs D F Cummins) and Sarah (Mrs R A Hews) are sisters - daughters of Robert Henry Kendall & Ellen McCarthy.

So how can Jack be both a sister of Sarah and a son of Kate?

The last one I can find so would be a huge gap to 1893.

Birth 1883 KENDALL Ellen Shepherd Robert Ellen McCARTY b. #8415

am as confused as you Dave... without seeing the marriage cert for 1920 on both Kendall & Cummins to see whats recorded.. still feel he told some porkies to enlist without Kate's blessing using her sister as NOK..
as for visit to USA, Kate's 2 daughter's were over there.

Ok, born 1893 Hay, to Daniel and Kate. Enlists as Jack Gregory Kendall - but that is not recorded as a known alias - and writes to his mother Kate. Appears in the press as Private Jack Cummins.

Returns to Australia but in the engagement notice he is still J G Kendall- why?

Death aft 1943.
