Hi Could SKS look up the surnames Peorrei or de Peorrei on the burial CD's for Melbourne or suggest where I can do an online search. I havent done any research in Victoria before so I am not aware of available resources. I have a Jean Dorothy (de) Peorrei marrying in 1942, her father Thomas (de) Peorrie was dead at the time of her marriage. Jean's mothers first name was Renee (Renne). The family was living in Yarraville, Melbourne at the time of Jean's marriage. I am not having much luck in finding any records of births and marriages for this family and I thought maybe I could work backwards. The name seems unusual and hoping that a grave will give me some leads. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Laine Clancy
Hi Laine, Who were the witnesses at the wedding? Jeanne Dorothy TYSHING - d.1983 rego.02268 Parents: Thomas PEORREI & Rennemati (sic) from.... http://www.scotch.vic.edu.au/Gscot/06aprgs/46obit.htm Gordon Lew Tyshing (’35) was born at Moonee Ponds on 4 October 1919, and attended Scotch from 1933–35. He married Jean Dorothy Peorrei in Victoria in 1942. Gordon was the last of three brothers who attended Scotch, the others being Eric (1929–31; died 3 September 1964) and Donald (1930–34; died 11 August 1995). Gordon lived at Essendon, and died on 16 August 2005. I cannot find the PEORREI parents in Victoria under any variation. Nor Renne's death to 1985. No entries on the Vic shipping list until 1923. Though Jeanne may have arrived by herself & shortly before her marriage in 1942. Could not find any variation of the Poerrei family at Springvale & St Kilda cemeteries... http://www.necropolis.net.au/necropolis/ nor any headstones listed on the Melbourne General Cemetery CD. There are only 16 Tyshing families in Victoria... http://www.whitepages.com.au/wp/resSearch.do Perhaps a few phone calls and you may find some descendants who could shed some light. :) The Tyshing family (including Jeanne) are buried at Fawkner cemetery... Surname Given Names Date Of Death Service Date TYSHING Donald Lew 11/08/1995 16/08/1995 TYSHING Eric Lew - 7/09/1964 TYSHING Gordon Lew 16/08/2005 6/09/2005 TYSHING Jeanne Dorothy - 27/01/1983 TYSHING Lionel Robert 27/05/2007 1/06/2007 TYSHING Robert Lew 27/12/1984 3/01/1985 So Jean was 62 when she died, so birthdate around 1921. :) You could contact the National Archives - [email protected] http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/recordsearch.aspx and see if they have Jeanne Peorrei's immigration papers. I could not find any documents online, but not everything is on-line. Are you aware of any other variations of PEORREI or of it's origin? Perhaps French Polynesian? Kind regards, Sherrie.
