Gai,that could be is as jessie was born in 1867 but i know she was in brighton in march 1915 as she registered her husbands death there. that is the last time she was heard of.
kev.

helen,

Gai,
my mistake it MUST be her !!
on her husbands death certificate the informant was a ja novis,which could indeed be his brother !
THANK YOU so much.

Hi Kevin,

That's Ok. Glad Staffslass has found where she was buried as I couldn't find any death or funeral notices in the newspapers.

Gai

Kevin, was the husband's name George Novis?

Thank you every one.great result
Kind Regards,
Kevin

Gai,

I just googled Adelaide cemeteries and did a search only tried this because I found some of my relatives this way for Queensland cemeteries.

One of our family sayings if no one knows the answer "google it" :D

yes her husband was george,i think he died in brighton in 1915.

I found the following in The Register, Adelaide, Wednesday 25/2/1914 - A report was made to the City Watchhouse on Tuesday by Dr. Violet Plummer that she had been summoned to the residence of George Novis, 201 Rundle Street, east, whose wife had died suddenly.

Sounds like it could be her.

ME girl,
is there any information on what may have happened to George?
Kevin

ME girl
i think george returned to england where he died in brighton in 1915
Kev

Brighton in England. Well that makes a lot of sense. No wonder why I can't find him in Brighton South Australia or Victoria.

Could this be your George.

Not sure about his date of birth but I can't seem to find any other George Novis entering the UK from Australia

I have been looking in Brighton, Australia too. If Jessie was 46 when she died and the fellow on the passenger list was only 27, could this have been her son? Kevin, do you know when and where George Novis was born or his age at death?

How sad, they had only just arrived in 1912. (trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper)

The Sydney Morning Herald, Wednesday 11 September 1912
H.M.S. MACEDONIA AT FREMANTLE.
FREMANTLE, Tuesday.
The following passengers arrived today by the H.M.S. Macedonia from London -For Adelaide: Mr G. Novis, Mrs Novis and child...

Was there a child with George when he returned to the UK?

Gai MEgirl or Cherlyn,
are any of you still there ?
Kevin

Sre any of you still there ?
Kev

Looks like George was by himself when he arrived in the UK as the image is typed and clearly states 27 years old and a butcher.

So they mystery is what happened to his father.

Kevin is there an age on the death certificate which ja novis was the informant?
