	Hi Gemma Have you searched just Govt Records (state Archives) at www.staterecords, or the births death marriages at www.bdm.nsw.gov.au ? B D and M indexes in NSW are on-line from 1788-1906, deaths to 1976, marriages to 1956. The state of victoria is covered by NSW until 1853. Their BDMs (incl earlier ones) are on-line too, separately. Western Australian BDMs and Queensland BDMs are also separately on-line. Doyou have their parents names ? In NSW, you can search deaths by parents names which might help locate them. Di

Ive looked on NSW government records site and have got no-where. Can i search anywhere for a marriage or death?
