This looks like the same person as the one on the passenger list as the date of birth given is the same.

Hi Kathleen & Thelma
Sorry for the delay in replying but we have just had a horrid storm and it knocked out my internet connection, But it certainly does seem like the same man, thank you for the info, I have only just found out about him & there doesn't seem to be anyone else left in the family who knows about him. really appreciate your help

Marcie...

Hi... as you know I found Herbert's death in 1996 and then found out he had married in 1963 and my trail dried up...

I have today had a stack of electoral roll books out and gone through them one by one because I knew where they both were in 1981... and had a fair idea with his death record in 1996. It took me awhile to find which electorate this place was but I managed to find his wife's address through to 1999. In 1995 a daughter appeared on the scene she would have been 21 to be able to vote. She may have got married as her last entry was 1996.. I checked out the marriages for 1996 - 97 nothing there and we cannot do anything newer than that.

As luck would have it there was another daughter who made an appearance at the same address in 1996 and she stayed after her mother had gone till 2004. I was worried that the trail had gone cold again but have found who I think to be her in Australia and have sent her an e-mail.

I will keep you posted.

Dear Persie,

Are you sure Marcie will see your message?

It was last September when she posted.

Unless, of course, you are in contact with her some other way?

Which wouldn't surprise me. ;-)


:-D :-D :-D

But of course this has been an ongoing thing for quite awhile on a bit of a drip feed...

Now I have something a little more concrete to work with...

I thought you might pop along to help... :-) :-)

Note to self: Must remember to let Cyns know what I am up to... ;-)

Marcie has another thread which she had ticked as done.. http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/living_relatives/thread/1281190

Hi Persie
Thank you so much, you have done more than I ever would have expected, really appreciate this, hoping the the contact is interested, it has occured to me that perhaps she might be slightly miffed that her grandma left her father and went with someone else, must run in the family as my father (Elsies brother ) did exactly the same to my late brother and myself
I,m on tender hooks now
regards Marcie
