Hi, I am trying to locate family details for a family living in Australia. they arrived in 1969 from Scotland via Southampton. I have the Australian arrival records
Stuart Fraser Simpson 1945 Scotland -2015 Queensland (Professional Engineer)
I would like to find the death records for Stuart and the Divorced late 1970s

Stuart remarried in 1979 in Australia. Elizabeth-Ann Simpson died in June 1999 in Australia. I can not find a birth/arrival or death record for Elizabeth-Ann
Simpson. I believe they both had the same surname, Simpson had no children

Wife Hazel Elizabeth Shaw
Hazel came back to Scotland with three children in the late 1970s.

Regards
Ian

Did you contact the person who posted the tree?

Hi Erika, thanks for your help no I have not tried to contact the people in the tree I did not want to bug them. This family tree poster is the elderly sister of Stuart.
She and her family have posted only details that they are happy to pass on to the public.

Then why not contact the person on Ancestry to see if they will help you help your friend.

The info isn’t online, so we who are complete strangers cannot help, and unless there is a rift in the family, asking a question shouldn’t be too much of an issue. Anyway, they can simply decline to help - or ignore your request

The info you have posted seems to have been taken entirely from the Ancestry tree
