KERCHER family in Queensland

[DaveHam9]

Qld. Marriage 1922/C01647 Loury Robert James Joseph - Kercher Elsie Lucy Elizabeth

The Brisbane Courier (Qld. : 1864 - 1933) - Friday 9 September 1921 p.6
ENGAGEMENT NOTICES
LOURY - KERCHER.-The engagement is announced of Miss Elsie Lucy Kercher, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Kercher, Toogoolawah, to Mr. Robert James Loury, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Loury, of Toogoolawah.


Looking for the birth of Elsie and the marriage of her parents.

I doubt very much it's this one:

Marriage 1907/B5229 Kercher George James - Jane Prettis Milham

I've done the LOURY side but have not found a death for Lucy. Elsie preferred the name Lucy, but don't know what might be in the records.

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks gibbo.

That's a bit curious. A marriage in Surrey but shipping record has F= Foreign not B= British port of departure.

No reg for Elsie in England 1900-1902.

 

[gibbo]

Thanks gibbo.

Thats what i thought and noted the port on my post.
You seen the 1911 census i posted?

[DaveHam9]

Yes, thanks gibbo.

It all fits but where is the reg?

I'm searching again using k* but it will probably time out.

 

[gibbo]

Got it! Damn spelling

Births Jun 1901
KETCHER Elsie Lucy E Farnham 2a 118

 

[gibbo]

Yes, thanks gibbo.

HOY! i got it Dave :biggrin: Stop modifying and read the post :2fun::2fun:

 

[DaveHam9]

Ok, thanks. :biggrin:

The k* is still running.


A death for Elsie/Lucy after 1980:

Elsie Lucy Elizabeth Loury 1980 Queensland Bowman

No burial on BCC site.

 

[gibbo]

Ok, thanks. :biggrin:

The k* is still running.


A death for Elsie/Lucy.

It wont run far :biggrin: Been K not like it has a good set of legs on it

Now that is a problem for a death for her, i havent been able to find anything at all but still looking.

Cemetery: Drayton and Toowoomba QLD
Person Id: 10133489
Surname: Loury
Given Names: Leofric Hamilton (Lefty)
Birth Date: 1910?
Death Date: 12 Oct 1964
Age: 54
Gender: Unknown
Portion: Ang 6A
Row: 2
Plot: 31

A Loury daughter married a Hamilton. So a Hamilton middle name for a Loury is weird.

 

[DaveHam9]

I killed the k* :2fun:

LOURY Robert George Death notice 17JUN2001 Death late of Camp Hill Courier Mail (Brisbane) 25JUN2001

but no Elsie/Lucy in Ryerson.

 

[gibbo]

I'll have another look tomorrow

 

[DaveHam9]

OK, thanks.

I'm off too very soon.

 

[DaveHam9]

Stuck for now.

I will search the E/R after 1980 next time at the SLNSW.

 

[gibbo]

She isnt at the Mt Thompson crematorium.
Maybe email the Brisbane cemtery and see if they have her there, and not noted online.

 

[DaveHam9]

Ok, thanks gibbo.

I have some death certificates from Scotland I purchased earlier this week to transcribe.

Also I have images from 5 shipping reels to transcribe as well.
