I am researching Nellie Hudson b 1896. married Leslie Halliday Magennis, had 6 children, and disappeared from the family between 1937 and 1943 (based on electoral roll). youngest child was around 4. Husband had an affair and fathered a child to Florence Pearl O'Neill around this time. Does anyone have info on Nellie? Family desperate to find out what happened to her. Lyn Baker

Hi Lyn, This one is a long-shot for you, but may be worth investigating further. Deaths - 17558/1950 Mary Esther Nellie BEARCROFT Died 1950, Petersham Parents: Anthony and Esther As these are the same names of the parents of Nellie HUDSON, I thought it may be more than a coincidence? Mary Esther Nellie BEARCROFT is buried at Rookwood Catholic Cemetery, buried 23/8/1950, aged 75 This makes her a lot older than Nellie though. There is no record in NSW BDMs for birth of Mary BEARCROFT or marriage for BEARCROFT to Mary UNKNOWN. There is no record for the birth of Mary Esther Nellie BEARCROFT on the UK BMDs.

This isnt her here in the NSW marriage index for 1933?? 11257/1933 THOMPSON ALBERT P MAGENNIS NELLIE D M PARRAMATTA Buy Now she would of been barely 20 being married in 1916, and this would be 35 here??? cheers Jewelly Shift your problems to challenges.  When you have problems, you worry about them.  When you have challenges - you are working, applying, and attacking your plan to get results. This shift in thinking from problems to challenges is important in making tension an asset. --- On Fri, 6/11/09, Lyn Baker <lb352528@bigpond.net.au> wrote: From: Lyn Baker <lb352528@bigpond.net.au> I am researching Nellie Hudson b 1896. married Leslie Halliday Magennis, had 6 children, and disappeared from the family between 1937 and 1943 (based on electoral roll).
