DEATH OF MR. 'MAUDffi'
BARRETT
89 -Year -Old Spent an
Adventurous Life
Another Jink with South Melbourne's
past was severed last month by the death
of Mr. Maurice (Maudie) Barrett, who
had been a well-known identity in South
Melbourne since the roistering days of the ?'
late 19th century. It had been his proud
boast that throughout his 89 years (he
would have been 90 on Christmas Day) he
never suffered a day's illness. And al
though for the last six months he was.
bedridden at the Old Men's Home, he was
so through old age and not ill health.
A familiar figure along the waterfront,
he had many narrow escapes from death
in an adventurous life as ship's fireman.
Twice he signed on for voyages but missed
the ships. On both occasions the vessel
was never heard of again after leaving
port. On the second occasion, his death
was reported in Australian papers and a
considerable stir, and no little uneasiness,
was caused when he appeared amongst
his former cronies some three years later.
He was awarded a Royal Humane So
ciety certificate some years ago for saving
two people from drowning.

Noelene Joan Lee Sorry I am a little confused.

I have

  • Celia Windsor LEE being the daughter of John LEE and Eliza JONES
  • her husband Maurice BARRETT being the son of Morris BARRETT and Mary JOHNSON
  • the other Maurice BARRETT being the son of Edward BARRETT and Norah FITZGERALD

How is Norman Sydney LEE, Enid Shirley GOODALL, John LEE or Hilda Victoria WEBSTER related to them?

Give me some time and i will be able to get the information for you. You could also look up the Lee Family Tree by Anne Tate from New Zealand she was a Mormon. She got all the information through the Mormon Church before she died of Cancer several years ago.

I don't think the details on Eva Shirley Truran can be correct

She is listed as the daughter of Maurice Barrett and Celia Windsor Barrett

Her birth and death details are the same as her mother.

Norman Sydney Lee was born to John James Sydney Lee (1878-1922) & Hilda Victoria Webster, John James was born to John Lee (1848-1911) & Sarah Ann Tysoe Lever, John Lee was born to John Lee (1817-1866) & Eliza Jones, John lee was born to Samuel Lee & Maria Urion

The dates in this profile Eva Shirley Truran belong to her mother Celia Windsor Lee

  • birth 7 July 1855 Texteth Park, Liverpool, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom
  • death 10 December 1942 Fitzroy North, Victoria, Australia

The correct information for Eva Shirley BARRETT is

  • born in 1888 in Dunolly, Victoria, Australia
  • died 1956 in Preston West, Victoria, Australia

This is supported by primary records of

  • Victoria Birth Record 2500/1888 - Eva Shirley BARRETT born 1888 Dunolly to Maurice BARRETT and Celia Windsor LEE
  • Victoria Marriage Record 9250/1911 - Arth TRURAN married Eva Shirley BARRET in 1911
  • Victoria Death Record 9582/1956 - Eva Shirley TRURAN died 1956 at Preston West, age 68, born Dunolly to Maurice BARRETT and Celia Windsor LEE
  • Victoria Death Record 13744/1942 - Celia Windsor BARRETT died 1942 Fitzroy North, age 86, born Liverpool England to John LEE and Elizabeth JONES
  • https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/206824191 - The Age - Mon 21 Dec 1942 Page 5 Family Notices
    • BARRETT. - On December 20, at her daughter's residence, Celia, loving wife of the late Morrice Barrett, loving mother of Connie (Mrs. Hall), Elsie (deceased), Eva (Mrs. Truran), Gladys, Harold (de-ceased) and Leila (Mrs. Gay), aged 86 years. Peace, perfect peace.

Hello Leanne
Yes, I think I now have that corrected. Thanks for the information. Sorry if I was being stubborn. I do appreciate your input.

Kindest Regards

Noelene
