Janine Go to genforum scroll down to countries select Australia then put on a message to Gordon Beach. He lives in Australia and has had wonderful results. It definatley is worth 5 minutes work and what do you have to lose. Good hunting Pat

Hi Deb - Yes I've not only checked her maiden & married name but also her mothers maiden name. If she returned to the UK would there be a record somewhere. I am assumming only that she had done this as she was not registered on the Australian electoral roll. Cheers Janine

Could she have remarried? Are you checking under both her maiden name and married name Debbie

My grandmother was Kathleen Drake b.1915 Morley. At some stage she came to Australia & married Stephen Lasham & had a son (my father) 1939. Stephen returned to UK and Kathleen gave up my father as a ward of the state. At the time of his birth she was living in Bondi - I have had the electoral rolls searched and she was not listed. I have contacted Canberra and had her searched as well - Nothing. I (on the side) had a friend check NSW BDM's - Nothing Checked the Ryerson Index - Nothing. I don't even know if she returned to UK. Any suggestions as to what I can do now? Many thanks Janine
