Hi Bernadette,

I just had a look at the Dec 1906 death certificate of Elizabeth's mother, at Adelong; Mary SCOTT

I can see that she had two sons with David SCOTT and one pre-deceased her. He was William SCOTT, and his death notice is in the Tumut Advocate, 28 Feb 1905.

He died 22 Feb 1905.
380/1905 SCOTT WILLIAM DAVID MARY ADELONG

Maybe, this is the death of Mary's SCOTT's last husband, David SCOTT in 1868?

As at 26 May 1915, when Etha Elizabeth TODD married Alfred Henry SCARR, it shows her father as Joseph TODD (deceased), Miner of Young.

Just looking for anyone (Joseph TODD, Young) matching that description. I think the following soldier, is too young. Age 44 in 1916 ...

Hiyas,
When did Etha's mother remarry and what does that marriage certs state?
I gather it states she was widowed but why did it take her so long to remarry??? did she have to wait for her first husband to die??

I don't think he died until a short time before Etha's mother remarried.

Hi Bernadette,

My internet connection is not that good, and I cannot get the death certificate (that you have on your tree), of Sarah TODD, 1908 Jamieson, Victoria, to download.
You show Joseph TODD's parents as Joseph and Sarah TODD, of Jamieson, and I think they would be a good match. I just need to see Sarah's death certificate, to see if Joseph is mentioned, and if so, if he is alive.

I can see from your tree, that you have one of Joseph TODD's sister getting married on 27 June 1886, at Adelong.

Martha Ann TODD to Alfred MADDEN.

7513/1886 MADDEN ALFRED TODD MARTHA A ADELONG

Her death as Martha Ann LENT, on 17 August 1937, at Corowa.

20272/1937 LENT MARTHA ANN JOSEPH SARAH COROWA

http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/102702021?searchTerm..." corowa&searchLimits=l-decade=193|||l-year=1937

Do you have Martha TODD's 1886 marriage certificate?
Maybe Joseph or Elizabeth TODD, were witnesses.

Can you please list the date of death for Sarah TODD, at Jamieson?
Can you please list the children and their ages, showing on that death certificate?

Hi Bernadette and Kellie,

Today is a new day, and my internet will allow me to download the death certificate from the Simmons Family Tree, of Sarah TODD, mother of Joseph TODD.

Death: 14 June 1908
Sarah TODD nee ALDOUS
Location: Jamieson
Married Melbourne, 23 years, Joseph TODD
Children:
John Dec
Thomas 51 years
Joseph James 47 years
Martha Ann 46 years
Louisa Jane 42 years
Rebecca 42 years
Caroline Zilpha 38 years
Edward Henry 35 years
Walter 32 years

Informant: Edward Henry TODD, Jamieson, Son.

Ages are a bit hard to read.

So, Joseph TODD, was still alive in 1908.

He is "supposedly" deceased, as at 26 May 1915, when Etha Elizabeth TODD married Alfred Henry SCARR.

Hi Mary,
Joseph James birth, if you check the record attached to the tree was just James. He must have been known as Joseph James later on.
Maybe his death is registered as James?

Hi Mary and purple halo,
Is there a birth cert for one of Joseph's children or does the marriage cert state he was born in VIC about 1860?
I cannot read the marriage cert at all.

Hi Kellie,

Great work there.

I can download the marriage certificate of TODD and CAMPBELL, 14 February 1881, Adelong. It is attached to the profile of Elizabeth Catherine CAMPBELL, in Bernadette's tree; Simmons Family Tree.
Birthplace for both Bride and Groom, is left blank. Age of Groom is left blank. Age of Bride "Under 21 Years". "The consent of Mary SCOTT was given to this marriage".
Mary SCOTT, was the mother of the Bride.

You are the first to suggest to Bernadette, that she should purchase a birth certificate, of one of Joseph's children, to ascertain his age and birthplace. That is fantastic Kellie; we should have thought of it earlier!

This would then "hopefully", link him as being the son of Joseph and Sarah TODD. I think he is their son, because a sister of his, Martha Ann TODD married in Adelong.

Now to search for the death of a James TODD, possibly being your Joseph TODD.

Not sure, if the marriage certificate link, will work...

Hi Bernadette,

Re my very early comment...

Not sure if this story in Vic (Mansfield), is about your Joseph TODD. 1 Oct 1869.

Mary

... and, your reply......
"No I don't think so, could be.
Many thanks"


It is your Joseph TODD, the husband of Sarah ALDOUS. They lived in the Mansfield and Jamieson areas for a long time, with a residency at Adelong, in between.

Hi Bernadette,

Using Kellie's suggestion, to search for the death of a James TODD, I came up with one in NSW and one in Vic. The one in NSW, was in September 1907, which was prior to the death of his mother, so unlikely to be him (unless his family were never informed).
