Somehow Olive becomes Mrs Aitken. ??

 

[DaveHam9]

Confused here as well. Only one son (Frederick junior) and one daughter (Olive = Mrs Aitken) but ...

Thanks gibbo.

Normally the names in the funeral notice are in sequence. So Norman should be a grandson.

I'm stuck with Ernest William. He is listed as if he is the eldest son.

Thanks gibbo.

For one to be a grandson that means Frederick junior married and had a son or two sons. ??

Ok, if junior married Mary Ellen then Ernest William is listed out of sequence. If Norman is a second son of junior then he is listed correctly.

The notice does not even say HUSBAND so it could be wrong in other ways.

Who did junior marry?

 

[gibbo]

Birth
PARKES NORMAN
2750/1900
FREDERICK W
MARY

 

[DaveHam9]

Can't be the son of junior who was born 1888. If the son of senior then why not listed as a son on Mary's notice?

No death before 1940 for that Norman to not be listed.

 

[DaveHam9]

I can't find an Ernest William who fits.

This fits the one who died in Bulli.

It is in the too hard basket.
