"margaret i didnt fully know her married name. mum mentioned a shield for her ..then she mentioned the name fenton" I had a reply typed to you, and the computer crashed. Name: Margt Theresa Shield (You were asking about her on another query) Mother: Ellen Murphy Father: Jno Knox Birth: abt 1869 Death: 1932 - Fitzroy, Victoria As mentioned on the other query, there was a Margaret Teresa KNOX married in 1885 to Thomas DECIS. You could purchase that marriage certificate, to verify, if she was your lady, or not. In 1931, the Footscray electoral roll has Margaret and James Edwin SHIELD living together. In the early 1900's he is on the electoral roll with Mary Jane SHIELD. There seems to be a family tree on Ancestry for James Edwin SHIELD (died 1933 Footscray), but it does not mention a second wife, named Margaret. Also, if you were to purchase the 1932 death certificate above, it should list the names of her husbands, and confirm, if she was your lady.
