Do n't know if this helps because the site I used only allows you to look up birth to 1912 in Ausralia.

Thanks noggin. Every little bit helps.

Death: 29441/1960 DREW. IDA JOSEPHINE, father: WILLIAM mother: MARY SYDNEY

This might be one of their children, was William's middle name LIONEL?

Death: 16469/1982 DREW, WILLIAM RAYMOND father: WILLIAM LIONEL Mother: IDA JOSEPHINE

This might be William's death. Pity it does not show age at death.

Death: 26066/1958 DREW, WILLIAM LIONEL father: JOSEPH Mother: MAIDER SYDNEY

Thanks again noggin.
Yes, Ida Josephine was my great-aunt she married William Lionel Drew in 1907 in Molong. I don't know what year they moved to Sydney (I believe in Bondi).
When you forwarded me the information re Irene P. Drew I checked in BDM and that is their daughter born in 1912.
Then there is, I believe, a son William born in 1907. (both born in Molong, NSW) There may have been more children, but I now have 2 more than I started with.
I don't know if Irene or William ever married, but if they did, I guess it will be their children if any, that I need to find. Don't know what my next step should be - any suggestions ?
Thanks for your help
Cheers

DREW Ida Josephine Death notice 27OCT1960 Death 76 late of North Bondi, formerly of Molong Sydney Morning Herald 28OCT1960

Thank you for your help. I am trying to find the death notices but I think the SMH notices are available only up until 1954 - I think.

I was researching my great uncle from Molong, Cpl Verdi Daly, A Squadron , NSW Mounted Rifles who served as a bugler in Boer War and came upon your post re my maternal grandmother, Ida Drew ( nee Daly) … Verdi's sister. Ida and Will certainly did move to Bondi with their children Irene Phyllis ( my mother ) and William Raymond ( my uncle). Ray married but his wife died soon after, they had no children. Irene married Ken Duncan in 1942. Sadly, both are now deceased. They had two sons: Bill ( myself ) and David. My brother is married but with no children. However, I have two sons, Michael and Andrew. The first is married and has one infant son, Lachlan. I have often visited Molong and the old Daly home.

I am also a great grandchild of William and Mary and have done a lot of research on Verdi and the family. I met either your mother or Patricia (or both) at Bondi many years ago as my father Patrick was very fond of his cousins and always kept in touch. I am heading to the country in May for a family reunion on the other side and will be calling into Molong again. I would love the address of the Daly house which I have never known. I am happy to send you any information on the family that you may not have, I am a family history tragic and you may also be able to fill in some of my missing links. I received an email from Jacoby about your post. My email is stoneville1@optusnet.com.au.

Hi Mentor
So glad that someone noticed my post from so long ago. Thought that would never happen.
You, Almam and I all share the same great grandparents in William and Mary Daly. Your grandmother Ida was one of 8 Daly girls. My grandmother Amelia was the first born of William and Mary Daly in 1876 in Orange. Both sides of my family are interesting to me but the fact that there were 8 girls in the Daly family made me think that there would be a few interesting stories therein. Almam and I are both constantly searching for photographs of any of those girls, your grandmother Ida included.
I do not live in NSW, I live in Victoria and so I am not able to visit places like Molong. but I would like to visit Temora, where the girls ended up for a lot of their years. Almam and I have both researched Verdi Daly and Almam has provided me with a lot of info on him. I am also interested in the son of Frank and Stella Hughes (Stella was your grandmothers younger sister) Glen Hughes who was a POW of the the Japanese in WW2. Do you have info on him ? Anyway, sure to be more correspondence in the future.
Cheers
Jacoby

Almam and jacoby,
Sorry I have not been able to get back to you earlier … things have been hectic here with ANZAC commemorations, organising re-enactments of the 1915 'snowballing' marches, emergency service commitments and youth mentoring . However, will be home tonight. Since it seems unnecessarily remote corresponding via this web site, why not have a chat over the phone. My mobile number is 0488 999 177. Meanwhile, for Almam, the old Daly family home / business is now the district's historical society headquarters in ( I think ) Bank Street and is called 'The Yarn Market' . It's a sort of gift shop … which seems rather appropriate since, I understand, the Daly family ran a news agency / store there. Only the brick section of the building remains: apparently the wood-built bedroom wing had to be demolished some time ago. There is a plaque honouring Verdi in the adjacent "stables' which now serves as a local museum / meeting place. I hope Jacoby knows the address of Aunty Ally Tootle's home in Temora. I recall being there when a schoolboy but cannot remember exactly where in the town it was. Bill
