Hi Graham I will dig out the deaths cd in a minute and have a look and will also check the free NSW deaths online (as are Vic, but you have to pay for them) for you. In the meantime, Eaglemont is a Melbourne suburb, rather ncie, and nearly suburbs are Heidelberg and Ivanhoe. The postcode N22 changed to all numbers in I think the 1960s so it is a very old address you have. I will check it up for you too and let you know. I presume you have the death cert for Florence - I think it should be available now, as from memory the deaths privacy period is only 10 years. It should tell you about family, husband etc - they are far more informative than the English ones.

I have been advised that this is the one to use for the information that I am trying to obtain on my ancestors. So here goes with the request once more. I am trying to find out about: Florence Violet CREE b.19 may 1896, Brynlinalt Lodge, Chirk, N Wales, UK who died at YHOR (Yarra Home of Rest ??????) on the 8 Oct 1985 aged 89. She married Charles WF CREE at Chirk Parish Church, N Wales on 5 April 1920 They emigrated to Victoria soon after (date not known) they lived at 2 Wimbledon Grove, Eaglemont, N22, Victoria, Australia. They could not have children so adopted a daughter (name unknown) who due to mental illness had to be placed into a home. Florence left a will which was granted 24 January 1986. What am I after? What happened to Charles WF CREE, what did he do? What did they do? Who was the daughter? Which home did she go in? Is she still living? Where can a copy of the will be sought as that would answer many questions. When did they arrive and what ship? Tall order, but it would enable me to close this particular branch of my family history. Any Information would be most appreciated.
