Find Ancestors

Same query on another forum has some interesting suggestions:

http://www.genealogy-specialists.com/threads/murdoch-finlayson-munro.5561/#post-76683

This one mentions that he may have had a sister Rachel who stayed in Scotland, also that Murdoch may have left Scotland around 1949.

I'd lay odds that the poster on there is the same as on here

There is this one, no other person living at the same address



Name:Murdo Munro <<Barman

Gender:Male

Electoral Year:1954

Subdistrict:Richmond <<Shelly St

State:Victoria

District:Yarra

Country:Australia
--------------------------------------------------------

And this, again alone



Name:Murdo Munro <<Barman

Gender:Male

Electoral Year:1963

Subdistrict:Richmond

State:Victoria

District:Yarra

Country:Australia

Just to be clear -
I only posted the marriage of Martin and Carmel in order to prove that Murdoch was NOT the M Munro who migrated in 1949 with wife C F Munro.

And the extra info posted by Gins further proves that.

The poster about Murdoch on genealogy-specialists is the same as the one asking about Florence Gertrude Furbank on the same site.

Thought as much - the poster had to be the same

Good find, Gins

Not sure what else can be found

Ruling people out can be just as helpful as ruling them in!

I can't see Murdo* after 1968 on the ER's. Not sure if there was an option to elect not to be included on the ER?

He's Murdoch here.



Name:Murdoch Munro <<Barman

Gender:Male

Electoral Year:1968

Subdistrict:Richmond <<Church St

State:Victoria

District:Melbourne

Country:Australia

On the other site, the poster says that nothing is known about ancestors............so how can the woman in Australia say she is connected to him?

Unless she thinks he was her father..............

How about this one - long shot:

S Lt Munro
in the Fremantle, Western Australia, Passenger Lists, 1897-1963

Name: S Lt Munro
Gender: Male
Birth Date: abt 1923
Departure Place: Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
Arrival Date: 12 Oct 1945

Sub-Lt in RNVR, born Scotland, single, arriving in Perth, from Ceylon, with other servicemen of various sorts - Army / Navy / RAF..

Looking at the free search on SP, there are births for: Rachel & Murdoch Finlayson

I searched from 1920 - 1929

Just a punt!

Inspired............

'Frustrated' more like!

I have asked my contact for more info on her relationship to Murdoch Munro and will broadcast as and when I get a response. Her attempts to get a Death Certificate from the locals has been met with rejection as she is not next of kin. The Mission deals with homeless people which may mean he has no parents identified and/or fell on hard times before his death.

The post on genealogy specialists is from me as guessed by MarieCeleste. Sister's name was possibly Rachael. I have also posed the question on 3 Facebook genealogy sites.

Your contact should be able to get the death certificate from here
