Is this Nicholas Hill EDDY the horse breaker from Epping. If so he and Minnie, nee White both appear on the electoral rolls of 1909, 1914 and 1919.

There were a few other EDDY families in Victoria but this one ticks the boxes. As the children you already know about had their deaths reg. as Wddy I suppose you could assume the parents were married but I have not found it yet. Nor have I looked for other children - yet

Sorry about the typo. Wddy=Eddy
The member in here to ask is tonkin he is the expert on bd&m in Victoria. He has an earlier list, he may just have a later one.

Thanks Janilye - don't know if this is the horse breaker Nicholas Eddy. I think Annie White Eddy was born Annie White in Carlton in 1903 to Minnie White but father was unknown. Feel that Marriage details could help but not having much luck finding them myself.

That's not right aith8, Annie White born in Carlton in 1903 was the illegitimate daughter of Theresa 'Minnie' Mary WHITE, the daughter of Thomas WHITE 1859-1926 and Mary RODAM 1857-1930, Theresa known all her life as Minnie had 2 children to unknown spouse, George, 1901 in Carlton then Annie in 1903 in Carlton. Minnie on the 23 October 1909 married Alfred Peter THOMPSON 1881-1941 in Collingwood. Minnie and Alfred had together another six children their first Alfred was also born in Carlton.

This is Georg's birth, On his mother's death certificate 1943, he was still living he married Agnes McDonald in 1919 I don't have a date of death for him;

Thanks janilye. My original research was on Annie and Minnie White and this led me to Nicholas Eddy. Can't find a death cert for Annie or any further records and she is not mentioned in the Thompson family as is George. Thought she may have been "adopted" by the Eddy family. There is no birth certificate that I can find for Annie White Eddy.

Annie WHITE
Born: 1903 Carlton, Victoria.
Father: Unknown.
Mother: Minnie WHITE.

Annie White EDDY.
Died: 1913 Carlton, Victoria, aged 10 years.
Father: Nicholas Hill EDDY.
Mother: Minnie WHITE.

This will be your Annie.

Annie White EDDY died in Carlton in 1913 that is a given.
It is the birth that is confusing since Minnie who lived in Epping with Nicholas Hill Eddy is not the Minnie who married Alfred Thompson. I have the marriage certificate and death certificate for Theresa 'Minnie White.

janilye

All the Alfred Peter THOMPSON trees I've just looked at include AN Annie with this note;
Annie White was born at the Carlton Lying In Hospital - no fathers name, cert. no. 1799.

janilye

None of the White/Thompson trees give a death date for their Annie.

Sorry, my error.

I thought we were looking for information on Minnie WHITE and Nicholas EDDY.

janilye

we are tonkin but there were 2 minnie's.
I can only lay out the facts it's up to you to draw conclusions.
My personal conclusion is that Theresa Minnie gave birth to Annie in 1903 and put her up for adoption. Nicholas Eddy and wife Minnie (who's maiden name on Doris's death registration is also WHITE) adopted Annie.
Indeed you do need Nicholas Eddy documents.
With common names it is always confusing. Hopefully someone close to the family will see all this and come to the rescue.

Thank you both for your responses, my conclusion also is that Annie White and Annie White Eddy are the same person. Still confused though about the Minnies. Nicholas Eddy and Minnie White also had Wm Austin in 1906 - unable to find a birth certificate but death certificate details:

Death Place: Pran, Victoria
Age: 19
Father's Name: Nicholas Eddy
Mother's Name: Minnie White
Registration Year: 1925
Registration Place: Victoria
Registration number: 11232
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1906

Would be really helpful to find the missing piece of the jigsaw.
