For “Residence” 1974 of John Albert Stiller

STILLER | John Albert | Death notice | 29APR1974 | Death | 73 | late of Matraville | Sydney Morning Herald | 30APR1974

Residence at death. The NSW death index row 3594/1974 gives only district code 001, so this is the only place evidence for the end of his life.

For “Died” 4 SEP 1975 of Philip Kidd

Philip KIDD | DEAT | 04SEP1975 | 84 | late of Mosman

Ryerson Index row (gen ryerson --surname Kidd --given Philip --state NSW), columns Name | Event | Date | Age | Place. Age 84 gives a birth about 1891, consistent with a 1915 marriage; the birth date on his record is ABT 1891 from this age only.

For “Died” 12 NOV 1911 of Wenzel Grenenger

Wenzel GRENENGER | DEAT | 12NOV1911 | 78 | late of Burwood

Birth c.1833 derived from the age. The Braidwood/Burwood Grenengers descend from him. CORRECTION (2026-09-07): the Wenzel Grenenger writing home from Masumba Wa Nkasi and Deda, Central Angoniland, British Central Africa in 1903-06 was NOT this man's son but his nephew - the Braidwood Dispatch of 10 March 1944 has him educated at Braidwood public school and staying in South Africa after the Boer War, and James Ernest Grenenger's 1918 obituary says 'another son is in South Africa'. The Braidwood Dispatch of 8 December 1950 reports the death of 'Mr. W. A. Grenenger, of Nyassaland'. Wenzel's own son Wenzel Edward B (#82915) died an infant in March 1874.

For “Died” 2 MAR 1859 of Mary Cook

Mary SAVILLE | DEAT | 02MAR1859 | 50 | at Lansdowne, Manning River

The Ryerson Index row, quoted in its column order: name, notice type, date, age, locality. Ryerson indexes Australian newspaper death, funeral, probate and obituary NOTICES; the row is the index entry, not the notice text. The date matches the Lansdowne plaque ('HIS WIFE MARY / DIED 2 3 1859') and the cemetery transcription exactly, and the locality names the place of death, which no source read before this one gave. The age of 50 gives a birth about 1809. Quality 2: a newspaper notice is a report of the death, not the registration of it, and the informant is unknown.

For “Died” 3 NOV 1927 of Julia Collins

Julia SULLIVAN | DEAT | 03NOV1927 | 81 | at Willoughby

Ryerson Index row: surname, notice type, date, age and place as printed in the newspaper notice. The age of 81 is the index's reading of "in her 82nd year".

For “Buried” 1859 of Mary Cook

Mary SAVILLE | DEAT | 02MAR1859 | 50 | at Lansdowne, Manning River

Cited on the burial as well, because the notice locates the death at Lansdowne, which is where she was buried; the two together are why the burial and the death now carry the same place.

For “Died” 15 NOV 1960 of Edith May Sullivan

Edith May SULLIVAN | DEAT | 15NOV1960 | late of Enfield

Ryerson Index row: surname, notice type, date and the place as printed in the newspaper notice. Same name in full, same year and the family's own suburb as the NSW registration in the Burwood district, so the two rows are one woman and the day of death is taken from here. Ryerson gives no age, so no birth year is entered.

For “Residence” 1960 of Edith May Sullivan

Edith May SULLIVAN | DEAT | 15NOV1960 | late of Enfield

Ryerson Index row. "Late of" in a death notice is the residence, not the place of death, which is why this is a residence and the death event carries no place.

For “Died” 11 AUG 1956 of Harold Hampton Tydeman

TYDEMAN | Harold Hampden | Death notice | 11AUG1956 | Death | 77 | late of Fairfield | Sydney Morning Herald | 13AUG1956

Ryerson Index row (genealogy-cli ryerson command over ryersonindex.org, re-fetched this session), columns: Surname | Given name(s) | Notice type | Notice date | Event type | Age | Locality | Newspaper | Newspaper publication date. A 'Death notice' (not a funeral notice), so the dated column is treated as his actual death date, giving day/month precision beyond the civil registration's year. Age 77 implies b. ABT 1879. Also attests his OWN name as 'Harold Hampden' (contra 'Harold Hampton' on the civil registration and 'Howard Hampton' on a son's registration below) -- added as an aka name.

For “Died” 14 FEB 1961 of Frances Rose Tydeman

TYDEMAN | Frances Rose | Death notice | 14FEB1961 | Death | 77 | late of Fairfield | Sydney Morning Herald | 15FEB1961

Ryerson Index row, re-fetched this session, same columns as above. Death notice giving day/month precision; age 77 implies b. ABT 1884, a plausible contemporary of husband Harold (b. ABT 1879 per his own Ryerson row). Residence 'late of Fairfield' differs from the Auburn registration district -- a residence-vs-registration-office difference, not a contradiction; both are retained (placeId uses the registration district).

Ryerson Index, three rows for the same man merged into one raw (same source/subject), re-fetched fresh this session and confirmed byte-for-byte, columns: Surname | Given name(s) | Notice type | Notice date | Event type | Age | Locality | Newspaper | Newspaper publication date. Two independent papers (Sydney Morning Herald and Daily Telegraph) both give a 15 Oct 1973 death notice, and the Daily Telegraph also carried an 18 Oct 1973 funeral notice -- corroborating the death date. Both papers also attest the nickname 'Tim', added as an aka.

For Bessie Brown Stalker (d. 1970)

Bessie Brown DODDS | Death notice | 03SEP1970 | late of Thornleigh | Sydney Morning Herald | 05SEP1970

Ryerson Index row, fetched this session (gen ryerson --surname Dodds --given Bessie). Columns: name | notice type | date | place | publication | publication date. 'Bessie Brown' is a distinctive double given name found on no other Australian death notice; 'late of Thornleigh' matches the family's known NSW cluster (son-in-law Malcolm Walker died Thornleigh 1977; daughter died nearby Beecroft 2003).

For Ambrose Edward English (d. 1957)

ENGLISH | Ambrose Edward (Ted) | Death notice | 16FEB1957 | Death | 67 | late of Orange | Sydney Morning Herald | 18FEB1957

Ryerson Index row (ryersonindex.org, re-queried live this session via genealogy-cli --json and confirmed field-for-field: name='Ambrose Edward (Ted) ENGLISH', event=DEAT, date=16FEB1957, place='late of Orange', age=67, noticeType='Death notice', eventType=Death, publication='Sydney Morning Herald', publicationDate=18FEB1957), columns in the site's own order: Surname | Given names | Notice type | Date of death | Event | Age at death | Locality as printed on the notice | Publishing newspaper | Newspaper's publication date. This is the ONLY Ambrose (Edward) English anywhere in the Ryerson index (surname+given search returns exactly 1 row), so identity is not in doubt. Age 67 at a 16 Feb 1957 death implies a birth about February 1890. 'Late of Orange' is the notice's stated locality/residence, not necessarily his place of death (this source's own citations disagree on that point elsewhere in this tree), so it is recorded here as a residence detail only and is NOT used to set a deathPlaceId. The notice's own text (which would likely name a surviving widow) was not read -- Trove blocked scripted access this session; needs Chrome.

For William Cross Temperley (1884–1963)

William Cross TEMPERLEY | DEAT | 01JAN1963 | 79 | late of Canterbury

Ryerson Index row retrieved 2026-09-17 via genealogy-cli; columns: name | event | date | age | place text. Index to a death notice, not the notice itself. Age 79 fits his 1884 birth; 'late of Canterbury' is his last residence (the same suburb as his wife Annie's 1949 death), not a stated place of death, so no death place is set.

For Leo Paul Stiller (d. 1937)

STILLER | Cheryl Marie | Death notice | 03DEC1990 | Death | 35 | late of Orange, formerly of Parkes | Parkes Champion Post | 07DEC1990 || STILLER | Alice | Probate notice | 14MAY1998 | Death | | late of Parkes | NSW Probate Index | 19JUL2017 || STILLER | Reinhard (Roy) | Death notice | 13JAN2005 | Death | 68 | late of Fairy Meadow, formerly of Parkes | Illawarra Mercury | 18JAN2005 || STILLER | Michelle Lee-Anne | Probate notice | 03NOV2007 | Publication | | late of 'Auburn', Wee Waa, NSW | Townsville Bulletin | 03NOV2007 || STILLER | Keith Leo | Death notice | 10JAN2008 | Death | 56 | late of Dubbo, formerly of Peak Hill | Dubbo Daily Liberal | 11JAN2008 and 12JAN2008 || STILLER | Gregory Troy | Death notice | 24DEC2020 | Death | 41 | at Robina, late of Orange (born 19 Feb 1979) | Central Western Daily (Orange) | 09JAN2021, and two NSW Probate Index rows

RESEARCH LEADS, NOT CLAIMS. A whole-surname sweep of the Ryerson Index (all states, all years) returns 153 STILLER rows; filtered to this family's country — Peak Hill, Parkes, Orange, Dubbo, Wee Waa — it returns the six above and nothing else. Every one of them dies after 28 August 1996 or is otherwise outside a searchable index, which is why none has a provable parent: NSW births are published only to 1926 and deaths only to 1996, so the generation between Leo Paul's children and the living Narrabri Stillers is unreachable in the civil index. Two are worth more than the rest. KEITH LEO STILLER, dead at Dubbo on 10 January 2008 aged 56 and so born about 1951, is named for both his likely father and his likely grandfather and is recorded as 'formerly of Peak Hill'; if any of these six is a son of Keith Otto Kenneth Paul Stiller (#82645) it is he. MICHELLE LEE-ANNE STILLER of 'Auburn', Wee Waa sits in the very town where #82645 was enrolled for forty-six years. The Dubbo Daily Liberal and Townsville Bulletin notices themselves would name survivors and settle both questions; neither paper's 2007-08 archive is online free. TWO FIRM NILS, with the sweep as their positive control: there is NO Ryerson row for Beatrice V Stiller (#82639) and none for Leslie James Stiller (#82640) under any spelling in any state — no indexed death notice, which is weaker than a registration nil because coverage of small country papers is patchy by year, but it is a real search that ran and returned nothing.

For Henry Cole (1841–1914)

Henry COLE | DEAT | 15JUN1914 | 73 | late of Kensington and Bega

Ryerson Index row in its column order (name, notice type, date, age, locality). 'late of Kensington and Bega' is the discriminator chain in a single line: Bega is where he married in 1912 and where his children were registered from 1874, and Kensington is where he died.

For Ellen May Sullivan (d. 1963)

Ellen Mary SULLIVAN | DEAT | 13APR1963 | 87 | at Our Lady of Consolation Home, Rooty Hill

Ryerson Index row, recorded as a CANDIDATE and nothing more. If it is her, she died on 13 April 1963 aged 87, born about 1876. The attraction is that 1876 is exactly the gap the family's own notices demand a daughter in; the objection is that Ryerson prints Mary where the register prints May, and that the family has no other connection to Rooty Hill. Neither the date nor the age is asserted anywhere on this person. What would settle it: the death notice itself in the newspaper, which is past Trove's 1954 cut-off, or the registration certificate.

For Emily Ada Avery (1882–1945)

Emily Ada SAVILLE | DEAT | 01FEB1945 | 63 | at Taree, late of North Moto, formerly of Lansdowne

The Ryerson Index row, quoted in its column order: name, notice type, date, age, locality. It agrees with the cemetery transcription on the date and the age and adds what the stone cannot: she died at TAREE, was living at North Moto, and had formerly lived at Lansdowne, where she was buried. The death place on this person is set to Taree for that reason. Ryerson indexes the notice, not its text; the notice itself, which would name her children, is in the Manning River Times of early February 1945.
