I'm looking for a marriage of James Henry JACKSON to a Catherine Jane ? , around the 1915 mark. James' parents were Joseph and Jane of Collingwood. James was KIA in 1918. TIA, Robyn of Geelong.

Hi all, I know this is very late, but here is my roll call for my Noble family of Melbourne. WILLIAM ROSS NOBLE and MARGARET MCGOWAN arrived in Melbourne in 1873 on the Ben Nevis. Their children were: (1) RONALD MCKENZIE NOBLE who married CATHERINE DODD. (went to NSW) (2) WILLIAM MCGOWAN NOBLE who married BLANCHE MILDREN. (Melb.) His children were: * OLIVE MARJORIE NOBLE married RUPERT CYRIL JERRAM *WILHELMINA ANNIE NOBLE married LES SLEEMAN WOOD * TORRENCE BLANCHE DAISY NOBLE may have married a Mr. SHAW. Other children were: (1)JEAN CHRISTABEL NOBLE, WILLIAM MILDREN NOBLE and ALFRED WILLIAM JOHN NOBLE. (3) NORMAN JOHN NOBLE married MABEL CHRISTINA O'BRIEN (4) ISABEL MCGOWAN NOBLE married JOSEPH WILLIAM LAHEY (5) ALBERT JAMES NOBLE. I can't find anything at all about him! (6) OLIVE MARIE NOBLE (known as Marie) (7) ALEXANDER HENRY NOBLE.All seem to have lived in Melbourne. Is anyone researching any of these families? Betty.

Hi listers, i am trying to locate some information on Mrs Anne Morgan who lived in High Street Preston in 1915. She died in circa 1917. I believe she may have taken in wards of the state as two relatives (siblings) give her as the n-o-k onb their WWI Attestation Papers and Allotee Records. How would I go about finding information on her charges? Being in NSW, I have no idea how to locate this info. Kindest Polly

Hello Is there someone who can lookup some death notices in the Melbourne newspapers for me? I am unable to access the newspapers where I live. Please contact me offline. Thank you so much Lavinia

Hello, is anyone researching this name? Marion CUNNING married John GREY (GRAY on some records) on 21 Jan. 1859 They lived at Tullamarine and Keilor. John died 27 May 1914 aged 81 years and is buried in the Melbourne Central Cemetery. I have no idea of when Marion died, nor where she was buried. I have all the children, including the entries with incorrect spelling and know where they and John are buried. Cheers, Bob
