You have no idea how excited I am. I wish I could buy you a drink.

I have a relative who has records to show he was married & died but not born. His father died but no other record can be found. I suspect they changed their name after the son was born but before he married.
Family stories say someone in the family was Jewish and changed their name.
Any ideas on how to find out?
Can you trace an address on a census??
I am in Australia so that would make it a bit harder I guess
