-----Original Message----- From: aus-nsw-sydney-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-nsw-sydney-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of aus-nsw-sydney-request@rootsweb.com Hi Christine I looked at the Ryerson Index of deaths since around 1970 and there is only one William Gough listed died aged 72 in 1985 at Rydalmere, the age is not right, but Rydalmere is near Parramatta. I looked at the National Archives Website for WW2 service - there are two entries for William John Gough born 1923 in Swansea Wales. One has the records up ditigally to view on the web - the other will have to be a request for a paper copy. (www.naa.gov.au - recordsearch - search now as a guest - just put in William John Gough, and you should get four results). You can also search on the passenger list index (bar at top) and get one William Gough who came to Aus in 1938. It looks like he married Mollie, listed as his next of kin, and her death notice, I assume it, is listed on the Ryerson Index.

If anyone is researching the GOUGH name or knows of the person - I would love to hear from you. William John GOUGH - born in South Wales in 1923. He had served in the English and Australian Navies. Was last known in the Parramatta area of NSW about 40 years ago. Any assistance - would be most welcomed. Regards, Christine -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
