Find Ancestors

If someone has some time can they please try to find the death of the above gentleman, please? I spent hours on it yesterday and failed. Here's what I know:

Born in London in 1887. He married Thirza Whitcombe in Bedwellty district, Wales, in 1904 and they emigrated to Australia, settling in Queensland. They had five daughters. I have found the immigration record. Thirza died in 1955 in Rockhampton, Queensland,in 1955 from severe burns. I have a copy of a newspaper cutting about this. I cannot for the life of me find a death recorded for Frederick. The daughters were Florence , who died soon after birth, Ceridwen, Esther, Doris and Annie Elsie who died in 1947. I've found marriages for three of them.

NAME: Frederick George Titus Cordingley
GENDER: Male
ELECTORAL YEAR: 1963
STATE: Queensland
DISTRICT: Capricornia
SUBDISTRICT: Rockhampton North

several trees have him on ancestry but there is no date of death

Does the newspaper cutting refer to her as a wife or widow of Frederick

What about the marrige certs of the daughters. Do they give any info on Frederick

Haven't got FMP world access but someone may be able to find them on the electoral rolls

Thanks, Maddie, I don't have that. Shirley, the newspaper just mentions her and says what happened. I don't have the marriage certs. I bought credits a while ago and found the records. I've looked at the trees on Ancestry but, as you say, no-one has his death. With the number of credits I've bought I could have updated my subscription to World-Wide!

.....................deaths go up to 1986 and nothing showing for Frederick so looks as though he probably died outside of Queensland.
Maybe you could contact them to see if they can help?

Thanks, Catherine. I suppose he must have died elsewhere. I'll have a look at that site now.

Did you mean he was born in 1887? You have his birth as 1877.

Re Daughter Annie Elsie
Tuesday 26 January 1937, Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton, Qld
MARTIN-CORDINGLEY
A very pretty wedding was celebrated at the residence of Mrs J. Rodgers, Blackwater, on Saturday, January 16, when Annie Elsie, fourth daughter of Mr and Mrs F. G. T. Cordingley, Rangal, was married to Edward Norman Martin, eldest son of Mr and Mrs Mar- tin, of Collinsville. The Rev. Toft, of Emerald, was the officiating clergyman.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Did they have a son too?:-

Saturday 31 December 1949 Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton, Qld
On holidays at Yeppoon are Mr and Mrs F. G. T. Cordingley and Mr and Mrs F. Cordingley, jun., and their son Darrell, all of whom motored down from Bluff.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday 17 January 1935 Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton, Qld
Mrs. J. Crowhurst is spending a holiday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. G. T. Cordingley.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday 10 March 1938 The Central Queensland Herald (Rockhampton, Qld
Mrs F. G. T. Cordingley, of Rangal, is spending an extended holiday with her daughter, Mrs N. Martin, in Scottsville, North Queensland.

This doesn't help with death but does relate to Frederick:-

.......................from what I have seen, Australian records do include parents names so may help track down a death????

Sorry, yes, he was born in 1887. Thanks for all that. That's really helpful. I have a copy of a newspaper cutting reporting the death of Edward Martin in a car crash in 1946 so they weren't married very long. I didn't know there was a son. Thanks, again.Lots here for me to look at.

I've brought this up again to see if anyone can help with any fresh ideas. I've followed all the suggestions kindly offered by everyone and I'm still no nearer to finding Fred's death. I've come to the conclusion that he must be 128 years old by now.
