Hi All

I have Thomas Montague FRANKLIN born c1824, died after 1914. I have him on the 1914 Electoral Role living in Minyip. I wonder if someone can find his death record and parents names please. He married Ann Lawford (formerly Thompson) who died in 1877.

Many many thanks

Danielle

Thanks so much Cherilyn, you always seem to be there to answers my calls for help, so thankyou!

I wonder if not too cheeky, can you see if you can find anything on Thomas' parents, Hetta (Esther?) Montague and Edward Franklin.. I checked IGI and couldnt find anything.

Much appreciated.

Hi Danielle

*blushes*
my pleasure

I reckon Hetta is short for Henrietta...maybe try again with that name. His birth is too early for reg unfortunately...let me know how you go.
I will have a bit of a hunt too.

Cheers
Cherilyn

Thanks Cherilyn, never thought of Henrietta but that makes more sense. Had a look on the UK 1841 and also IGI and found no link between a Henrietta/Hetta Montague and Franklin but shall continue looking.

Thanks again

Danielle
