Looking at Marjories birth, it looks like her mother was a 'Willan'

Heres a likely for her parents



Marriages Sep 1917 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bolton Thomas Willen Bury 8c 811
Willan Elsie Bolton Bury 8c 811


First names match the parents listed on Marjories death

His birth record just says John McDuff, he must have been still alive in 1979 then cause he would only have been about 57 years old

Rebecca,

There are no other deaths for John McDuff up to 1979. Just a query does John have a 2nd name?

Rebecca

Rebecca Report 31 Jul 2010 12:08

thankyou very much this is not the right John McDuff his father was called James McDuff and his mother was caled Emily. Majorie could be right cause i dont yet know her parents names will have to look into it

Hi Rebecca,

Births online in New South Wales only to 1909

Marriages to 1959

Deaths to 1979

??Possible deaths

Mothers Name: Mary

Reg No: 201488/1978

If you get the death certificate of John, it should have details of any children born, plus a number of other details.

you will get them cheaper

Is it info before or after 1951 that you want? If before, you would need to find their births. This could be John's:

Births Dec 1922 (>99%)
McDuff John Cowell Preston 8e 679

and this Marjorie's:

Births Jun 1921 (>99%)
BOLTON Marjorie Willan Bolton 8c 688

You should be able to find marriages for the parents on freebmd.
