Thanks gibbo.

I have a large gap until this marriage

2360/1905 McDONALD RANDOLPH - WRITER MARY A - RYLSTONE * 18 Jan

 

[gibbo]

Did their mother, Helen marry?

 

[DaveHam9]

Parish of Looanga County of Inglis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglis_County

Not sure because Rylstone is much further south.

 

[DaveHam9]

I have no further info on Helen gibbo. No birth or marriage or death.

 

[DaveHam9]

There is another Randolph

MCDONALD RANDOLPH 4950/1861 JOHN A SARAH - BATHURST

I think the New England ones are ruled out as my guy was a railway porter 1903 onwards.

1932 NSW Electoral Roll - Parramatta - Beecroft
McDONALD Mary Ann, Ulindah, Hannah st., Beecroft, home duties
McDONALD Randolph, Ulindah, Hannah st., Beecroft, railway porter

MCDONALD HELEN 4/1852 V18524 52 MALCOM FLORA

MCDONALD HELEN 411/1853 V1853411 52 NEIL MARY A

Presbyterian baptisms

I searched on FS for those and just got a blank screen.

 

[DaveHam9]

There is a marriage in W'gong for a Helen I but I don't think that fits.

4578/1876 WILSON EDWARD HAMILTON - MCDONALD HELEN I - WOLLONGONG

I searched for Helen * death up to 1950 in NSW with parents Malcolm & Flora and Neil & Mary

PAVLETICH HELEN 12334/1921 NEIL MARY H - GRANVILLE

Presbyterian Rookwood age 68. No mention of any family.

Maybe that one is unmarried ?? Can't find a marriage using pav* No birth as Helen pav* ??

 

[gibbo]

No mention of his family in his marriage notice.
