I am wondering if someone could help me. I have a death: Margaret Elizabeth Brereton Died March 1938 at Marrickville NSW. She was buried at Rockwood Cemetery I have a funeral notice on Trove (no other names) and the death registration which states the parents as Thomas and Eliza. I am trying to prove, one way or the other, if this is the wife of James Ellis Howard. They were married in Hobart in 1868 and had two children, died 1904 and 1919. They separated by 1877. Is there somewhere I can get more information on this death other than purchasing the death certificate. Thanks Andrea

Hi Andrea, I couldn't find a birth or marriage for Margaret Elizabeth BRERETON in New South Wales, but she appears in the votings lists during the 1930's, not earlier. You could try contacting Rookwood Independent Cemetery to see if they have any further information - http://www.rookwoodindependent.com.au/index.php?option=com_facileforms&Itemid=17 Otherwise the death certificate will be the only place you will find any more info. If you use a transcription agent its cheaper than paying for an official certificate, and you can request partial information or check-and-verify before you pay for the full certificate - http://www.transcriptions.com.au/pages/marbnsworder.php Cheers Trish Nowra NSW > Margaret Elizabeth Brereton > Died March 1938 at Marrickville NSW.
