Vera NICHOLS

[horse]

I have several in my tree with and without the 't' or the 'e' on the end you have to consider all.

Yep, been checking all 3 at same time, easy to overlook though..

 

[horse]

I've got the right death and the right siblings:

The Sydney Morning Herald - Saturday 20 July 1963 p.72
DEATHS
JOHNSTON, David Leslie.-July 18, 1963, of 52 Glebe Street, Glebe, dearly loved husband of Vera, loved father of Veronica, David and Leslie and fond brother of Eleanor and William, aged 56 years.


We might have to rely on tracing the children.

They may have looked apart in 1963 if David had died and Vera had moved to another property

Who is with that Vera?

On her own..

 

[DaveHam9]

We need an age, unless you know he was a sibling of David Sr.

Don't know anything yet. Will look that one up in the SMH archive.

No age. Married to Gwen. Son of Alfred and brother of Edith.

Died after Nov 1984 so not in the BMD.


So that is curious that Mervyn and Gwen are living with a David Leslie.

Wow! Nice find...

 

[horse]

Mervyn & Gwenyth were at 112 Paine St. in 1949, so David Jr. must have been staying with them in 1968, not other way round...

 

[DaveHam9]

We have a death but not out of the woods yet.

 

[DaveHam9]

Mervyn & Gwenyth were at 112 Paine St. in 1949, so David Jr. must have been staying with them in 1968, not other way round...

Mervyn son of Alfred and David senior son of William so I don't know that's David junior with Mervyn or not.

 

[horse]

Mervyn son of Alfred and David senior son of William so I don't know that's David junior with Mervyn or not.

On reflection, not validated

 

[DaveHam9]

Making no progress with SHEPPERD/SHEPPHERD/SHEPHERD re marriage or deaths.


Marriage 9910/1925 NICHOLLS WILLIAM G - SHEPHERD VERA M - SYDNEY

I suggested 2nd marriage for one or both.


Can't find a birth for Vera or marriage or death of her parents.

Can't find a death for William or a divorce.

 

[horse]

Of course, Mervyn and Gwenyth mar. in 1841, so David Leslie could well be their son...

 

[horse]

Just getting to Shepherd now...
