HENRY AARON HART 1847-1914

[phillip]

I am looking for any Australian information on Henry Aaron Hart b 1847 Mile End Middx and died 1914 Burwood Sydney. He is buried in Rookwood Jewish Cemetery as are some of his siblings.
Henry was the son of Aaron Henry Hart and Ann Rebecca Crawcour.
Henry was living at Rose Lawn Cottage Oval Kennington in the 1861 British Census but appears to have left for Australia by 1871 Census.
His siblings Phoebe m Albert Aaron Goldsmid and they settled in Austrlia as did his brother Bernard m Rachel Pyke; his sister Grace m William Hanson; his sister Rosina and possibly his other sisters Flora and Eve.

Any information appreciated.

Hi Phillip,

is your Henry the same Henry Aaron HART who was divorced in 1903? [NSW Divorce Index No 4690, respondents name May Gertrude HART]

and/or is he the same Henry who married in the Kennington area in March quarter 1871?

HART Henry Aaron Lambeth 1d 310
(Hannah BROOKE or Eliza KING)

I can't answer these key questions because I have no other data on Henry other than I suspect he was married. What I need to do is buy his Australian death certificate which will show such details. I have no idea of what business he was in although his father Aaron was a boot and shoe manufacturer in partnership with his brother John.
I appreciate your looking.

Hi Phillip.

You may already have this but if not the Rookwood Cemetery Transcriptions CD has this:

Hart, Henry Aaron, Died 4 Oct 1914, Age 69

Inscription: Erected by his dau Reca

Denomination Jewish, Section 2, Row 8, Grave 87

Very many thanks for this piece of data- it confirms that he was married and had at least one child. Henry's sister Phoebe who married Albert Goldsmid died in 1909 Burwood and it looks as if the siblings barring Grace who was in Victoria lived in the same area of NSW.

(Note the inscriptions are abbreviated on all the infomration I have given you. This was probably the transcribers doing rather than the stone mason)

You definitely need this certificate Philip. The NSW certs are a mine of information - depending on the informant's own knowledge of course.
But you should get how many years the deceased lived in colony, names of wife(s), children (living and dead) as well as parents etc. Go for it.
