  • Australian death look up

    Don't have world sub, but found this

    Australia Death Index, 1787-1985


    Birth, Marriage & Death


    Name: Phillipps Pearce
    Mother: Phillippa Rowett
    Father: Jno Pearce
    Birth: year
    Death: 1921 - location

    hoping that its actually Phillippa, would be grateful if somebody could confirm for me

    You don't give the location info (presumably doesn't come up without a sub).

    Given that A and S are adjacent on a keyboard, I'd be staggered if that were not a typo for Philippa.

    PS - It doesn't show up on the (free) NSW BMD site.

      I had a bit of a look on the Trove newspaper site, but didn't get any useful-looking "hits".

          That should certainly be no problem if you have access to a library edition. In my experience it's only the personal messaging and the access to other trees that you don't get in the library edition.

            These are the details from ancestry, all you will get without the actual death certificate.

            Name: Phillipps Pearce
            Death Place: Rutherglen, Victoria
            Age: 90
            Father's Name: Jno Pearce
            Mother's Name: Phillippa Rowett
            Registration Year: 1921
            Registration Place: Victoria
            Registration Number: 7496
            Estimated Birth Year: abt 1831


            Seraching the VIC BDM indexes gives 1 result for
            PEARCE Phil*pa
            but none for Phil*ps

            so you might be right.





            You can download the death cert direct from Vic BDMS for $AUD17, instant access

              There are quite a few private family trees on ancestry with photos of Philippa Pearce's headstone at Springhurst Cemetery.

              Phillippa Pearce Junior also shows up on the Victorian Electoral Roll for 1914

              PEARCE Philippa, junior, Springhurst, Nurse

              also

              PEARCE Philippa, senior, Springhurst, home duties
              PEARCE John, Springhurst, farmer
              PEARCE Joseph, Springhurst farmer
              PEARCE Joseph, senior, Springhurst, no occupation
              PEARCE Ruby Alice, Springhurst, sewing mistress
              PEARCE Sarah Elizabeth, Springhurst, home duties

              Does this help ?

                Thanks very much for info, yes it is a big help, now not sure quite how or if she fits in, that seems to show she was married so not Phiiippa thought it was, will try and contact ancestry tree holders.

                  Hi
                  I think it shows she was unmarried and lived with her parents and sister and poss. brothers in 1914. The electoral roll only gives the address, which for a rural area like Springhurst is not a street address, so they could have all lived in separate dwellings or together. Her death info indicates she was not married (as her surname is the same as her fathers).
