OBITUARY

MRS. E. M. WHITNEY
Mrs. Ethel May Whitney died at her residence in West Dubbo early this morning after a few months illness. She was 63 years of age. Born at Girilatnbone, she was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Sutton. As a young girl, she came to reside in the Delroy district and for the past 20 years, lived at West Dubbo. Her husband, Mr. James Samuel Whitney, predeceased her in 1947. She is survived by a large grown-up family. Burial took place this afternoon after a service at the Presbyterian Church at 3 o'clock conducted by the Rev. M. O. Fox.

 

[gibbo]

If the 1947 and 1951 deaths are the right ones, then he was 30+ years older than Ethel.

These are the only births i can find. You sure its the same fella who married both Rosina and Ethel and not 2 different families? His Samuel for the births to Rosina yet John S to all the births to Ethel.

15894/1887 WHITNEY HERBERT S J ---- SAMUEL --- ROSINA C DUBBO

In the engagement notice for Herbert his father is noted as John from Dubbo. So its probably right they are one family.

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Gibbo.

Looks right. Obit lists the surviving 3 + 10 children.

 

[gibbo]

Says he came from Goulburn but can't see a birth in NSW.

95 in 1947 so born approx 1852. I cant find a birth for him neither.

 

[DaveHam9]

No. I checked to 1860 in case age was out.

Not that important being way out on a branch of my tree.

Case closed for this one then.

 

[gibbo]

I think a look at VIC wouldnt hurt if you wanted to keep going with it.
