For William Cross Temperley & Annie McDonald

TEMPERLEY, Annie.—December 23, 1949, at her residence, 62 Kilbride Street, Canterbury, dearly loved wife of William Cross Temperley, and dear mother of Arthur, Gilbert, Thomas (de-ceased), Roger, and Colin, mother-in-law of Bon, June, and Enid.

Names the couple's sons Arthur, Gilbert, Thomas (then deceased), Roger and Colin. Arthur, Thomas R, Roger (NSW birth 28545/1919) and Colin M (28379/1922) are recorded. Gilbert is not: no TEMPERLEY birth for him in the NSW index 1914-1925 (checked with Roger and Colin found on the same search), so he was probably born 1926 or later, outside the published window.

For Edward Clifton Ahrens & Gertrude Lillian Scotter

He is survived by Mrs.Ahrcns and two children.

OCR 'Mrs.Ahrcns' kept verbatim (misprint of 'Ahrens'). Best evidence found for this marriage: a contemporary paper naming her by the married title — not a marriage registration. NSW BDM's online marriage index was searched by Chrome this run (groom AHRENS Edward Clifton, bride SCOTTER Gertrude Lillian), both narrowly (1932-1936) and broadly (1925-1940), and returned a genuine, controlled 'No Matching Records found' both times. unionType is left as 'married' on the strength of this evidence and the two children; no MARR event is added since no date or place is attested anywhere.

For Harry Edward Trueman & Caroline Williams

TRUEMAN. October 2, 1943, at his resi- dence, 17 Arlington Street, Dulwich Hill, Harry Edward, beloved husband of Caroline and loving father of Ben, Alice, Lillian, Arthur, and Doris, aged 73 years. Interred October 3, 1943.

The husband's side of the union, from his own death notice (the same quote is already on him as citations 49598-49600). "beloved husband of Caroline" in 1943 and "relict of the late H. E. Trueman" in 1950 name the marriage from both ends, which is what justifies unionType married with no marriage event. The five children named are all children of his FIRST wife Alice Mary Ezzy #21733, are already in family #6630, and no child is attached to this family.

Names six of the couple's children: Dorothy May (b. 1897), Albert (1899), Eileen (1902), Leslie (1905), Ronald (1909), Edith (1912) — all in the NSW birth index to John A × Margaret at Burwood/Canterbury. Only Ronald is created here.

For Wenzel Grenenger & Jane Sarah Finch

GRENENGER.-The friends of Mr. and Mrs. W. FINCH are kindly invited to attend the fune-ral of their late beloved BROTHER-IN-LAW Wen-zel Grenenger; to leave his residence, Burwood-road, Burwood THIS MONDAY at 3.30 p.m. for St. Thomas's Cemetery, Enfield.

Quoted as the Trove OCR stands. A second notice in the same column is inserted by 'Mr. and Mrs. J. BEADMAN' for their 'BROTHER-IN-LAW, Wenzel Grenenger', and the first is from 'Mrs. W. GRENENGER and FAMILY' for their 'late beloved HUSBAND and FATHER'. W. Finch and the Beadmans are the William Finch and Teresa Beadman named as Jane Sarah's siblings in her own 1933 notice; by 1911 her sister Harriet had been dead 32 years, so the brother-in-law relationship runs through Jane Sarah. Cited on the family because it is the evidence that the union was recognised as a marriage — no NSW marriage registration has been found for them.

For Michael Sullivan & Julia Collins

C. Ceme-tery, Rookwood, via Burwood station. H. and T. HART, Undertakers, Burwood and Ashfield. || SULLIVAN. The Friends of Mr. and Mrs. JOHN GRENENGER are kindly invited to attend the Funeral of their late beloved SISTER, Julia Sullivan ; to leave her father's residence, Lily-street, Enfield, THIS TUESDAY, at 8.45 a.m., for R. C. Cemetery, Rook-wood. H. and T. HART, Undertakers.

Two funeral notices printed one under the other, quoted as the Trove OCR stands (including 'Frends' and the line-break hyphens) and separated by ||. The second is the discriminator this whole identification rests on: Mr and Mrs John Grenenger — John August Grenenger #82881 and Margaret #82882, married in 1896 — bury Julia Sullivan as their SISTER from her father's house. Read with the death notice two days later, it makes Michael and Julia Sullivan of Lily Street, Enfield, Margaret's parents.

For Michael Sullivan & Julia Collins

SULLIVAN.- November 3, 1927, at her residence, Nardie, 3 Owen-street, Willoughby, Julia, relict of the late Michael Sullivan, of Enfield. In her 82nd year, R.I.P.

Quoted as the Trove OCR stands. Cited on the family because 'relict of the late Michael Sullivan' is a record naming the marriage, which is what the union type needs before it can move from unknown to married. No marriage registration has been found: not in the NSW index 1850-1875, and not in the FamilySearch Irish indexes, where the couple's marriage of about 1862-63 does not appear. The Caheragh marriage register on registers.nli.ie is the place to look.

The Sydney Morning Herald · Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

For Michael Sullivan & Julia Collins

SULLIVAN. September 1, 1941, Hannah, second daughter of the late Michael and Julia Sullivan, of Enfield, and loved sister of Margaret (Mrs. J. Grenenger), Ellen and Edith. Requiescat in pace.

Cited on the family for the BIRTH ORDER, which is a question about the whole sibling set rather than about any one child. Two notices count the daughters. This one makes Hannah (Johanna, born 22 September 1866) the SECOND daughter; the 1908 notice makes Julia (born 1880 at Newtown) the FIFTH. The known daughters in order are Mary 1864, Bridget 1865, Johanna 1866, Margaret 1868, then Julia 1880. Both counts can only be true together if MARY, born 12 April 1864, was already dead when the family counted — which would make Bridget first, Johanna second, Margaret third — AND if a fourth daughter was born between Margaret in 1868 and Julia in 1880, which is where Ellen fits. NOTHING IS ASSERTED FROM THIS: Mary #83050 keeps no death, and Ellen is given no birth. It is written down because it is the arithmetic that a Caheragh burial register or an Irish civil death registration for Mary would confirm or destroy, and because it predicts an 1869-1879 baptism for Ellen that the Caheragh register should hold.

For Michael Sullivan & Julia Collins

SULLIVAN. September 1, 1941, Hannah, second daughter of the late Michael and Julia Sullivan, of Enfield, and loved sister of Margaret (Mrs. J. Grenenger), Ellen and Edith. Requiescat in pace. || SULLIVAN. August 16, at Sydney Hospital, of pneu- monia, Julia, fifth beloved daughter of Michael and Julia Sullivan, Lily-street, Enfield, aged 28 years. R.I.P.

The two notices that count the daughters, quoted as the Trove OCR stands and separated by ||. THIS NOTE REVISES the birth-order note on my proposal 2339 and should be preferred over it. The daughters in order of birth are Mary (12 Apr 1864), Bridget (29 Aug 1865), Johanna/Hannah (22 Sep 1866), Margaret (1868), then Julia (1880) and Lucy A (1882). Hannah is called the SECOND daughter and Julia the FIFTH. Taken at face value Hannah is third and Julia fifth only if no daughter was born between 1868 and 1880 — the two counts cannot both be satisfied by the children we have. Two readings fix it, and each needs one daughter to have died before the family started counting, plus a FOURTH daughter born between Margaret in 1868 and Julia in 1880. (A) MARY died as an infant: then Bridget is first, Hannah second, Margaret third, the unknown fourth, Julia fifth. (B) BRIDGET died as an infant: then Mary is first, Hannah second, and the rest the same. Reading B was not visible before this search and is now the more economical of the two, because MARY has a candidate death registration in 1889 that reading A has to throw away, while Bridget is the one child of this family with NO civil registration at all — only a Caheragh baptism — which is a weak but real hint of a short life. NOTHING IS ASSERTED: neither Mary #83050 nor Bridget #83051 is given a death here. What settles it is the Caheragh register — a burial for either girl — or an Irish civil death registration in the Skibbereen district 1864-1875. Either reading requires a daughter born about 1869-1879, which is where Ellen, whom the 1917 probate and the 1941 and 1946 notices all name, belongs.

For James Beadman & Theresa Ada Finch

THE FRIENDS of Mr. JAMES BEADMAN are respectfully invited to attend the Funeral of his deceased FATHER-IN-LAW, Mr. Samuel Finch; to move from his residence, Birchgrove-road, Balmain, TO-MORROW (Sunday) AFTERNOON, at quarter to 2 o'clock, and proceed to Enfield Cemetery, WOOD and COMPANY, Undertakers, 807, George-street.

Read by me from the clipping of the 1886 funeral notices (media 386). James Beadman calls Samuel Finch his father-in-law and Samuel's sons call Beadman their brother-in-law in the notice printed beside it, so Beadman had married a daughter of Samuel Finch; the cemetery index says which one, giving Theresa Ada Finch as 'w/James'. Jane Sarah Grenenger's 1933 death notice names 'Teresa Beadman' as her sister. No marriage registration has been looked for: the NSW marriage index needs a browser.

For Thomas R. Worth & Harriett Elizabeth Crossingham

CROSSINGHAM. In sad and loving memory of my dear mother, Harriett Crossingham, who departed this life August 2, 1908. Inserted by her loving daughter Harriett Worth. (Manning River papers please copy.)

Quoted as the Trove OCR stands. An In Memoriam placed on the second anniversary of Harriett Maria Crossingham's death - 'August 2' against the headstone's August 23 is a typesetting slip, the notice having run on 23 August 1910. It is the reason this marriage was looked for: a daughter of Harriett Maria signing herself Harriett Worth in 1910, twenty-six years after the registration above. 'Manning River papers please copy' says she was no longer living on the Manning.

Names Susan Carter as James Henry's wife ('the beloved husband of Susan Carter'). No marriage record has been found in this pass, so the marriage date and place are not established; unionType is set to married on the strength of this notice alone.

Death notice of her father Harry Edward Trueman #21732. Trove OCR, line breaks collapsed to spaces, no characters altered. The five children named match the five in the tree exactly, which identifies "Lillian" as Lillian Gladys Trueman and evidences the father-daughter link. She was living in Goulburn in 1943, so no address is given for her.

TRUEMAN. October 2, 1943, at his resi- dence, 17 Arlington Street, Dulwich Hill, Harry Edward, beloved husband of Caroline and loving father of Ben, Alice, Lillian, Arthur, and Doris, aged 73 years. Interred October 3, 1943.

Trove OCR, line breaks collapsed to spaces and no characters altered ("resi- dence" is the OCR's hyphenated line break). Age 73 agrees with the recorded birth of 13 July 1870; the five children named match the five children in the tree. "Caroline" is a wife not in the tree - his recorded wife Alice Mary Ezzy died in 1909.

Quoted exactly as the Trove OCR renders it ("77 Lakemba - treet" is OCR for "77 Lakemba-street"). Death date 8 January 1935 and age 93 both agree with the record (b. 29 May 1841). "Mr and Mrs. H. E. Trueman" is her son Harry Edward Trueman #21732; the three other couples are presumably her daughters and their husbands (Coles, Caldwell, Starr) - reported, not proposed, as those daughters are outside my lane.

OCR as printed by Trove ('lather' = father, 'Sun' is OCR noise before '(Haywood)', read together with the funeral notice below as 'Marjory (Mrs Sam Haywood)'). Wife 'Edith M. Stuart' matches #35619 Edith Marion Henley (m. 1901, fam 10820), not #35607's only recorded wife (Mary Elizabeth Hayes, d.1886). This is the discriminator: identifies the Redfern 1932 death (reg 5601/1932) as belonging to #35605, aged 49, not #35607, aged 75.

Death notice, Trove article text rendition read in Chrome. Gives date and place of death (her residence, Canterbury) and identifies her as the wife of William Cross Temperley. Consequently the Queensland 1971 'Annie Temperley' death (parents William and Mary Hughes, 1971/C/4724) is not this Annie.

In-memoriam inserted by her workmates, Trove OCR as it stands ('Ever remembered by her workmates'). Attests the name 'Rene' and the anniversary 29 September. Its YEAR, 1941, contradicts the contemporaneous death notice, funeral notice and obituary (all 1943) and her brother's June 1943 notice naming her as living, so it is treated as an error in this later insertion; quality lowered accordingly.

It is a second, independent statement — after the 1908 funeral notice in which Mr and Mrs John Grenenger bury their sister Julia Sullivan — that Margaret was a daughter of Michael and Julia Sullivan of Enfield.
