Chris, Sorry cannot give you anything definite to go on but if you check this site http://helplist.org/aus/index.shtml#Wales and find someone that can do some look ups on BDM 1889-1918 and Between The Wars CD's they may find something......I found these on BDM on line and perhaps SKS on the above site maybe able to tell you where these Births/Deaths occurred and you can work out whether they are connected. Death 6117/1923 Eliza A Derrick Father George Mother Elizabeth Birth 10577/1898 Lily M L Derrick Father John Mother Eliza Birth 29166/1896 Lilian Derrick Father John Mother Eliza Death 12949/1896 Lilian Derrick Father John Mother Eliza Birth 7257/1894 Susannah J Derrick Father John Mother Eliza Is there a possibility that he went to war ? Check Australia War Memorial Site, you never know. I had a missing person and I eventually found him in a grave in France !! Hope this is of some help... GLGH regards Jennifer
