Kailis in Sydney

[cressie]

Hi All

Can anyone assist re clarifying some extracted records for the Kailis family in Sydney.

I am aware of George Michael Kailis and his wife Neranzi dying in Sydney in 1945 and 1966 respectively. George being the son of Michael George Kailis and Flora (nee Paspalis). I am chasing details of any children of this family.

There is a Charlotte Claridge Kailis marrying an Edward Joseph Jordan at Kingsford in 1947 and an Anastasia Kailis marrying an Arthur John Christian at Paddington also in 1947. I am unaware if these women are the daughters of George and Neranzi or from some other family.

Also a Paraskevas Kailis married a Mary Peronis at Paddington in 1951 and am unsure where he fits in. There is a Perry Nicholas Kailis who died in Sydney in 1995, who could be Paraskevas, or someone else. Either way I have neither linked to any parents.

If anyone has details for the above it would be appreciated. There are over 120 Kailis's plus spouses on the geni site at www.castellorizo.org for anyone is chasing info on other Kailis family members in Australia. It would be great to complete the Sydney lines.

Best wishes

Hello Allan,

In the marriage of Anastasia Kailis and Arthur John Christian in 1947, Anastasia, a cousin of mine, was the daughter of Kiriakos Kailis and Evangelia Soultani. The family lived in Perth and Darwin. Anastasia's sister Helene married Louis Harmanis, who together with their son Kerrry were well known figures in the WA mining industry.

So sorry, Allan, Anastasia's not the one you're looking for.

Regards,

Hi Alec

Thanks for the info. Yes I am looking to match up all NSW entries for Kailis and you have answered one of my four queries. I already had her listed on the geni database but as "Anne" and without a known spouse. Thanks for clearing that up.

Alan,

Perry Kailis, who died in Sydney in 1995 after long and committed service to the Castellorizian community, was indeed one and the same as the Paraskevas Nikolaou Kailis who married Mary Peronis to whom you refer.

Paraskevas was the son of a doctor, Nikolaos Paraskeva Kailis, who had married Maria Ioannou Kalafata on Castellorizo in 1916. Nikolaos was to die suddenly at a young age in the early 1920s.

Paraskevas' siblings were a sister, Polyxeni, who died very young in 1919 and a brother, Ioannis, who died in 1991.

Hi Nicholas

Thanks for the info and clearing the matter up. The only unresolved Kailis record now relating to Sydney is Charlotte Claridge Kailis marrying an Edward Joseph Jordan at Kingsford in 1947. By her name I suspect it may be an Aussie woman marrying for the second name (records always show previous married name and not maiden name) but I cannot locate a first marriage to a Kailis anywhere.
