Hi Angela

Edna M Crewe and Graham married in England 1950,,but must have had any children in Aus,also they dont show in full names migration up to 1960 from uk but they could have flown as some did with assisted £10 pom.)

a cousin flew for £10 in 1961.

Edit: Graham was born in 1924 in Bristol Gloucestershire his parents was Albert T Boyce and amelia B Gunning

Hi Angela.

Here is the deaths listed on Victorian index's, showing the Reg. No's
Death certs in Australia normally supply quite a lot of info. Place of birth,cause of death,parents,last place of address, informants name and how related to the deceased,how long in the country, how long married, ect,ect...including any living or deceased children and names,ages of children.......of the deceased person/s.

Surname: CREWE
Given Names: Esther Caroline
Father: Rose Herbert G

Given Names: Edna May
Father: Crewe Ambrose
Mother: Ester Caroline ROSE

Age: 49
Age Code:
Year: 1974
Reg Number: 12997

Deaths on cd. Index for the state of Victoria only allow searches up to 1985.

Edna May BOYCE was buried at Portarlington,so checking the Cemetery index for Portarlington there is a Graham BOYCE listed here who died very recently ( Oct 2010 )...so only 4 months ago, and possibly why you couldnt find reference for his death.
There was only one Graham BOYCE listed so feel reasonably sure he is your Graham.
Looking at the Burial location ref:*2***70 they are buried together.

Have checked a few Cemeteries around Melbourne for Esther Caroline CREWE...but nothing found.
A purchase of her death cert "should" give her burial place.



Just to add.
Someone knew the birth date of Graham BOYCE ( listed on burial ref ) As his wife and MIL were already deceased, it could be a clue that the imformant giving the info knew him well .........decendants/kin?

Angie.

Maybe Victoria has one central registration place then where certificates are applied for ,,,,theres many Aus members who will put you right,,when they come site..

Kay
all i know is that both Geelong and Kew are in the registration district of Victoria, going by the Australian death index 1787-1985.

Hi Cherryblossom
sorry was abit confused by what kay said.
angie

Angela.

you will need to apply to the nearest register office where the deaths where,,,,,

Geelong and Kew if they are classed as towns they should have a registration place.

I think Kay means that you would have to purchase them from Australia.

Hi Kay
Yes they both died in Victoria , australia
angie

Angela,,,,Australia.
