Valmai was alive as of this notice:

BEAMAN.-In loving memory of our dear husband and father, Benjamin Beaman, who passed away at Clump Point, May 29, 1932. "Sadly missed." (Inserted by his loving wife and family, Ben and Valmai)

I can't find a Valmai Marnane in the E/R index, not even in 1930.

A divorce and one of three possible remarriages ??? Or Valmai married 4 times.

Are there really three different Valmai Noreen's in Queensland ?

Not like Noreen is a common name to have, second name or not.

Thanks gibbo.

That's one I didn't find in TROVE.

The date in the BMD is 9th. I didn't search 3 weeks later.

She was still married to Robert in 1934. No one puts a article in the paper when i go on holidays :2fun::2fun:

Mrs. Robert Marnane left last Thursday by White car, for Topaz, where she Is staying for a few weeks with friends.

Curious. She must be in the E/R as "Mrs Robert" then.

That's curious too.

I can't find a birth reg for the one listed arriving in 1900.

No sign of any birth or baptism in England for Benjamin.

You had the below in post 1 on here

Valmai Noreen Johnston 1943 Queensland Griffith
Valmai Noreen Jeffrey 1949 Queensland Petrie
Valmai Noreen Hughes 1954 Queensland Ryan

I can eliminate the last 2. They are the same person. Hughes with maiden name Jeffrey.

No Valmai tho anywhere

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks gibbo.

There are not many MARNANEs from Ireland in Australia. There is another family in NSW that appears mostly as MURNANE.

If it is Robert then he moved a long way south.

Fisher: It is located in the Sunshine Coast area north of Brisbane and includes the towns of Caloundra, Mooloolaba, Beerwah, Maleny, Woodford and Kilcoy.

 

[gibbo]

You know what year your Robert was born? It might help confirm if this burial could be him or not.

Well now:

26 Mar 1900/C05515 Marnane Robert - William - Elizabeth McLuckie



Oops. This is the one I should be chasing.

Valmai Noreen Johnston 1943 Queensland Griffith

The only other ref to "valmai noreen" is the engagement notice in 1949 for Jeffery.

 

[gibbo]

I still cant find her. Got Robert in 1951 but it seems she didnt go on holidays with him.

Cairns Post (Qld. : 1909 - 1954)(about)
Saturday 15 September 1951

Mr. R. Marnane, after holidaying in Atherton with relations, returns to Brisbane this week.

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks gibbo.

I can't find marriage to Johnston. The name is too common to start picking possibles from the Electoral rolls.

The sub-division is not in the index but I found these in an old topic:

Valmai Noreen Johnston Female 1943 Queensland Griffith Kurilpa
Valmai Noreen Johnston Female 1949 Queensland Griffith Kurilpa
Valmai Noreen Johnston Female 1954 Queensland Ryan Toowong

We are stuck for now.
