Looks to be 2x Barbara Johnson in Newcastle area but probably 15-20 years between them.

1926 - one to be married shortly.

Is Ernest married to Evelyn May? Marriage? Her death?

Earlier rolls thanks - Weston is a clue.

Thanks,

Dave

Is Ernest married to Evelyn May? Marriage? Her death?

Earlier rolls thanks - Weston is a clue.

Possible..

NSW E/R 1937
Ernest Johnson
Electoral Place: Weston, Hunter
[Salesman. With Annie Elizabeth, dd. Evelyn May, dd. Hilda, dd. Weston]

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

So Ernest married Annie or Evelyn or Hilda or none of them.

Dave

 

[horse]

Yeah, no obvious answer to which one he married without trying to check back.. Will have another look..

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Closest in NSW index is this but it's a long way away and the extra initials ??

1098/1908 JOHNSON ERNEST A E - COPINGER EVELYN M - BROKEN HILL
1098/1908 JOHNSON ERNEST A E - JACKSON EVELYN M - BROKEN HILL

Can't see a birth for Hilda with father = Ernest. Or Ann* Or an Evelyn.

 

[DaveHam9]

If Evelyn died 1942 - 1950 I can't see a death that fits in Hunter area.

Marriage in post #3 is the connection.

Looks to be the right Barbara with Ernest and Kenneth.
