Hi all I have someone born in Australia N.S.W 1913 died 1952 was in the Navy from about 1935 to 1948 I can not find them on the electoral rolls is this normal for people in the forces ????????? I have found his brother who was not in the forces. Also can some one tell me when you do an online search of the NSW birth deaths site if it brings up the name and age that some one died like this 13558/1912 RALPH THOMAS 73 YRS WOONONA WOONONA If you order the certf. will there be more info on it ?????? I can not find were he was born and who were is mother and father were. I have his marrage certf. that has nothing on it and depending on which site you go to online he has different mother and father listed. Thanks for your help Faith

Dear Faith, The Death records that appear like that indicates that the parents were unknown to the informant therefore not recorded. You can get a transcript which is cheaper, and often quicker than the registry. There are three agents on the website. I use www.marbract.com.au and have found Marilyn very good, as I believe the others are too. Maybe she changed to www.transcriptions.com.au over recent months. You will get more information in that the date of death, cause of death, place of burial/cremation will all be recorded. Parents (if known) and also marriages along with children, name and age, with numbers of any deceased children. I can't help with the Electoral Rolls other than you really need to know the Division and Sub-Division back in those times, and if they moved, it was often difficult to find them again. Defence people have a habit of being transferred interstate also. Have you checked the NSW Probate Index to see if they left a will, or had assets to leave? Papers for Probate Packets will be found at State Records, Kingswood. If you are not familiar with them on www.records.nsw.gov.au you will find a help sheet, called Archives in Brief No. 84. There is a later one too, which is about number 119.

Ancestry have electoral rolls on line to 1954 for all States except SA > Also can some one tell me when you do an online search of the NSW birth > deaths site if it brings up the name and age that some one died like this > 13558/1912 RALPH THOMAS 73 YRS WOONONA WOONONA > Some names would help > If you order the certf. will there be more info on it ?????? What they died of, and where, whether there was an inquest is sometimes notated, where born, often parents names, spouses name, names and ages of any kids, Occupation, Were buried. who by, name of informant. The example you quote could have most of this info except parents names > I can not find were he was born and who were is mother and father were. > I have his marriage certf. that has nothing on it and depending on > which site you go to online he has different mother and father listed. > Names and dates could help Bye MargM Sydney List Admin
