Hi Thank you for your help. We have now traced John Skilton. He passed away in 1997.
Great sadness to us all. Just wished we had started the search earlier. And I had found my way round the www. Many year's ago.

Kind regard's Joyce

Hi Joyce

The 'National Library of Aus' (Canberra) (on-line) has an 'Ask a Librarian' service. They will check their electoral rolls (past & present) - they should be able to trace him from what you already have (1980). (do give them all your facts).

Hi Kath
We have already checked that address and phone number in the White Pages. But the lady answering said she couldn't help..

Please is there any thing else we can try.

Kind regard's Joyce :-( :-(

Hi Kath
Thank you for your reply. He is John Albert Skilton.. He has a half brother in Australia who is trying to find him.
That's where the information has come from. I will pass on the info about the white pages.

Have you tried Australia's white pages?

I see from his marriage record that he has a middle initial "A".

There is a John A.Skilton listed in Queensland on the white pages:-

You should add Australia to your title, as a filter.

Have you done any research?

No point in someone looking for what you've already got

John emigrated to Australia in 1961/62.... He was living in Victoria with then wife Ronalda
They were both on the Electrol Roll. And then John on his own in Queensland 1980
We have no information since then. I know Ronalda remarried a David Joseph Christmas and died in Frankston.

I don't know if he has died. Please contact if you have any information that would help with my search.

Kind regard's Joyce.
