James REDMOND [800] ¹⁴⁵⁸

  General Notes:

James wrote a will in 1912 in which he leaves bequests to the Catholic Churches and the convents of Coonamble and Cooma. He states that his daughter Mary Redmond was in the Holy Cross convent at Cooma and had been there for 5 years at the time his will was written in 1912. He states in his will that she will turn 21 on 8 February 1917, at which time all monies held in trust should go to her. I can find not birth of a Mary Redmond in 1896. On James death certificate it states that he got married at the age of 52, approximately 1896 but place of marriage and to whom he married is marked as unknown. I have been unable to find a marriage that corresponds with this information, nor a birth for a Mary Redmond that fits this information.

Obituary - There passed away yesterday an old colonist in the person of Mr James Redmond at the age of 75 years. The deceased, after his arrival in Australia, spent the most of his time in New South Wales, near Sydney, where he was a successful farmer. Ill health and approaching age induced him to sell his property when he, with his daughter, came to Kerang and resided with his nephew, Mr D. Bannan, of this town. The change, though beneficial at first, had no material benefit on his general health, and after a residence of a few months he passed away yesterday as stated, the immediate cause being syncope, supervening upon dropsy. The funeral takes place to-day, the cortege leaving St, Patrick's Church at 11 a.m. for the Kerang cemetery.
