Hi Marion.

Instruction to get to his war service records:

1. Go to http://www.naa.gov.au/
2. Click on the link labelled "RecordSearch" near the top right hand corner of the screen.
3. Click on the link labelled "Search Now - as a guest user"
4. A new window will open. Type "John Norman Ivy Ryan" (without the quotes) in the first box and click on the "Search" button. You will get one result.
5. Click on "Display"
6. Click on the link labelled "View digital copy". Another window will open, with scans of the original docs.
7. To move through the document, click on the right-arrow where it says "Page 1 of 81" at the top of the window. If you wish to go straight to a page, type the required page number in the box and press the Enter key.

Hope that helps! With regard to the certificate info, you will have to purchase copies of the register entries from https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/home. "Click on Search Family History Indexes", then "Historical indexes", then "Search the historical index". I would advise that you download the two death certs first as these will have the info on their marriages and children. It will cost you 99 cents to view each index entry and a further $17.50 for each scanned image that you download. Well worth it as you will gets lots of info from the death certs!

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Marion

The two possibles are:

to Cora May WILSON in 1938 (reg 785)
to Freda Alice Selina ARROWSMITH (nee ROSS) in 1939 (reg 3183). Freda was born in Jumbunna Vic in 1905 to Thos Hy & Isabella.

The John Norman in Fawkner Memorial that Carol found is memorialised beside Freda Alice (who died 3 May 1986 aged 81). Not that this tells you for sure that this is 'your' John.

However, Cora is memorialised as Coralie May, died in 2000 aged 88, so possibly too young to be the right wife..?

Just to add...

Wm Hy Geo FIELD died in Ringwood Vic in 1976 aged 78, son of Wm Joseph & Rose nee MARSHALL (reg 24816). I can't find his birth in Victoria.

Amazing, thank you again. I hope to try and find some children of Ivy's living in Australia, if she had any....as she was my Great Aunt.
