Find Ancestors

Hi Grace,
Thank you very much for all the info.
I am very confused.

No one can find a birth record for the Tirzah mentioned in the obituary of Primrose.

I have a marriage record for her to Kenneth Hugh Woods 1943 Ryde, NSW reg 13007 and an electoral roll record in 1936 NSW, Parramatta, Ryde West.

(Essentially I am trying to find details about a Tirzah R Moran of Chermside born c1936. I have found letters from her dated 1996 refering to Aunts Jane and Barbara, also an Aunt and a Great Aunt Tirzah.
I believe her mother must have been Dorothy M Walker so I am trying to find out who Dorothy married so I can work out Tirzah Moran's maiden name).

So the marriage of Dorothy M Walker I am looking for must have been about 1930. And her children would have been Tirzah R b 1936 and son Roger born c1933.

Maybe the area on the above electoral register will give an indication of the are for Dorothy.

Thank you so much for all your help and anything further.
Amanda :-D

Let me know if you want Primrose's wedding notice to John...

So at least we know Dorothy was alive at the time of her mother's death

No luck....doesn't appear to be there so she may still be alive or registered after the BDM search close off date.

Do you have any clues as to where she may have lived, anything at all?

From say 1930 to 1940 there are at least 7 possibles..I'll list them and then check deaths

Hi Amanda,

Okay so this is the correct birth entry:

Name: Dorothy M Walker
Birth Date: 1910
Father's name: John W Walker
Mother's name: Primrose W
Birth Place: New South Wales
Registration Year: 1910
Registration Place: Burwood, New South Wales
Registration Number: 2223

Just set out a bit differently from NSW BDM.

Unfortunately there are a lot of Dorothy M Walker marraiges...fairly common name

Hi .... it's a NSW birth 2223/10.

I notice John W & Primrose W Walker also had 2 other daughters;
Jane R Walker b1904 and
Barbara E Walker b1907.

I notice 'Ryerson Index' shows Primrose Walker d 8/1/1954 at Sefton age 83yrs ..notice in the SMH 11/1/1954.

Maybe a 'look-up' of the death notice will give a few clues.

How do I nudge this post up so I am not posting it twice and get told off?

Thank you Ann
I don't think that is my Dorothy.
I have a registration number 2223 Australia Birth Index 1788-1922
