Born March 1944 in Sydney..Possibly changed spelling of surname to Reid or Reed.
He is my brother and I haven't seen him for over 50 years. Any information appreciated. Many thanks

If he was born in Australia then adding that to your thread heading may get some response from australian members who can access australian records

Surname Fahse. Germany. Essex .South East London My avatar is one of our wedding photos of 1957

Marion - if your brother has been living in Australia - you can ask the 'National Library of Aus' (Canberra) (on-line) -it has an 'Ask a Librarian' service -they will check electoral rolls (past & present).
(they may also check newspaper death notices if given approx date/s and less common names).

(the 'Ryerson Index' (on-line) shows a Raymond George Reid d 16/12/01 age 72yrs 'late of Macquarie Fields' ... fortunately his age doesn't match -so beware if the library sends you this info too.)

Valerie, Thank you for the info.. I did not know about the National Library so I will definately contact them. I also did not know about the "Ryerson Index".. You have given me great info to follow up on. Thank you again. <3

I don't think Shirley was saying IF he was born on Australia. Her suggestion about adding Australia to your thread heading is a good one!

Oh, I'm sorry Shirley and Thank you greyghost. I have added Australia to the heading. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
