TRACY/TREACY in Melbourne, Australia, 1870s
Jactyisha
My great great grandmother was buried in 1913 in the Melbourne General Cemetery which was already occupied by the remains of Richard M Tracey (buried 25 April 1874) and Mrs Ellen M Treacy (buried 23 April 1874). Richard died tragically on 22 April, and Ellen,his mother, died the day before.
As they were buried on the 23rd and 25th April 1874 in the same grave, then Catherina Dorothea Schultz(written as Dara Schultz in the cemetery records) was put on top of them in 1913, it all seems very strange to me.
Anyone knowing anything about the connection between the Treacys and Catherina Dorothea (usually called Doras - probably problems with her strong German accent)? Any information on Mrs Ellen M Treacy? I note a person by that name who lived in Richmond (perhaps near the Schultz family) in the 1860s - is that the same Ellen M Treacy who was married to R M Tracey? (without getting too hung up about the problem of the spelling of the name).
Thanking you....

asheppard on 2012-06-20 21:21:22Do you have a copy of Catherina Dorothea Schultz death certificate. It should hopefully give you more information.
Have you contacted the cemetery and asked if they have any other details of the burial,date of burial or any other information about her, they should be able to give you some details.
I have a similar case of an unknown male in our family grave it turned out to be the husband of one of the daughters. His surname name was incorrect on the cemetery records and it took several months for the VIC BMD to track him down under his correct surname name, using the death and burial dates.
Is this the record for the death

Death Place: Cheltenham, Victoria
Age: 90
Father's Name: Blader
Registration Year: 1913
Registration Place: Victoria
Registration number: 8748

There is this marriage which is a possible connection to the above death fathers surname Blader could be Blede
Name: Catherina Dorothea H Blede
Spouse Name: Anton Fridrick Wilhe Schultz
Marriage Place: Victoria
Registration Place: Victoria
Registration Year: 1851

couldn't find anything on Anton Schultz so far.
There are a few possibilities for R M Treacy
Richard Moore Treacy marriage
Name: Richard Moore Treacy

Haven't found the connection to the Schultz family, does the death certificate for Ellen M Moore 1874 give any clues to her parents.
Jactyisha on 2012-06-21 21:36:17Thanks for all the effort you have gone to on my behalf, but yes I did have all that information and that is why I was sending out a request to anyone who has this Mrs Ellen Treacy in their tree. Perhaps it is just one of those great mysteries? I have been able to glean a great deal about Anton and Catherina Dorothea Schultz but this is too puzzling.
Thanks again
