1943 NSW Electoral Roll - East Sydney - ?
JARRETT Percy Brown,

Can't find in index after that.

Why did Christina wait until 1960? Wait 7 years for Percy to be declared dead or did he die just before or during 1960?

IN DIVORCE.
(Before Mr. Justice Gordon.)
JARRETT v JARRETT.
A decree for judicial separation was granted in the suit of Christina Jarrett (formerly Rigden) against Percy Brown Jarrett. His Honor had previously held that the desertion alleged by the petitioner had not been proved, and dismissed the suit; but, at the request of petitioner's counsel, re-opened the case for further argument. The present decree was the result of further consideration after additional argument.

You sure this is a second marriage for Christina? She would have been nearly 80 years old at time of this marriage.

[DaveHam9]

Thanks gibbo.

In a word, no. :biggrin:

I'd better check a few things.

 

[DaveHam9]

It seems her parents are John and Hannah.

No match with that death I posted.

However that does not agree with a tree:

Father: Frederick Elms
Mother: Mary Jane Rigden b: 1853 in Ashford Kent

Marriage 1 Percy Brown Jarrett b: 1879 in Folkestone Kent
Married: 1901 in West Ashford, Kent, England

Was she born before her parents married or is that wrong and her parents are John & Hannah. ???

 

[gibbo]

Did the kids marry in NSW?

 

[DaveHam9]

Name: Christianna Rigden
Event Type: Census
Event Date: 1891
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Relationship to Head of Household: Boarder
Birthplace: Ashford, Kent
Schedule Type: Household
Registration District: Westhampnett
Sub-District: South Bersted
Ecclesiastical Parish: St Johns Bognor
Parish: South Bersted

That also does not fit if she was born 1882.

 

[DaveHam9]

Children of the 1901 marriage:

Births Jun 1902
Jarrett Ivy Bertha M W.Ashford 2a 886

Births Dec 1903
Jarrett Myrtle Grace L W. Ashford 2a 894

Births Mar 1906
Jarrett Doris Chrissie W. Ashford 2a 943

Births Jun 1908
Jarrett Norah Elizabeth W. Ashford 2a 936 ??
The expected page range for this district is 973 to 988


Births Dec 1909
JARRETT Olive Ethel M W. Ashford 2a 908

 

[DaveHam9]

Births Jun Qtr 1882
Rigden Christiana Steyning 2b 327

Sussex.

So we need a reliable 1891 and 1901.


Marriages Dec Qtr 1882
Elms Frederick Steyning 2b 558
Rigden Mary Jane Steyning 2b 558
Rigden May Jane Steyning 2b 558

 

[DaveHam9]

John & Hannah are probably related but not her parents.

It seems the first 4 daughters married in NSW. Don't know about Olive.

I think the death above you found might be him. I could only find another 2 with the same name and they died in the 1980's.

Ryerson index .. this help any, maybe a copy of the notice might mention kids names to help confirm.

EDMUNDS Christiana Death notice 29MAY1969 Death aged 87 late of Kingsgrove Sydney Morning Herald 31MAY1969

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes thanks gibbo.

Paupers grave so nobody knew his real age.

That 1882 birth is the only ch* Rigden in Sussex 1875 - 1887.

I can't find her in 1891 or 1901 in FS as Rigden.
