MARLBOROUGH EXPRESS, VOLUME XLVII, ISSUE 164, 14 JULY 1913

DUNEDIN, Julyl2. ''■ Thomas Dexter, a city corporative laborer aged 42 years, a single-man, died suddenly this morning as he was getting ready for work. It is supposed that he took a fit.

That can't be him, after all. That would make him about 15 when he married.

Thanks Gibbo.

Daxter,Dexter, Baxter.........not a name I'd like to research.

1890 NZ Gov Gazette has a Thomas Daxter done for larceny 28 Oct Dunedin last seen in Dunedin - wonder if he took off to Oz and Elizabeth followed..

The Age Wed 8 June 1898

If Thomas Daxter does not communicate with his wife Elizabeth Daxter within three days, she intends to re-marry - (married 18th June)

I didn't put it all in, Val wasn't sure if they are copyright, though in separate posts and handwritten is OK..

So, is that her in post #32?

[Bootzy]

Yeah, looking that way, Val.. A few errors, but with that name almost certainly right [with reservations].

Geoff

 

[p.risboy]

That makes sense. No death for him as yet. Not surprising really.......more than likely on the run, possible dies as an unknown man.??

Mackay not far from Charter Towers and Townsville. I wonder if Gibbo knows about this.

[p.risboy]

Just out of interest, I've ordered the actual marriage cert, for Sydney Thomas Bedford. I don't expect anything different, from what I now know.

But, I might be surprised.
