Name: James Simms Death Place: Prahran, Victoria Age: 73 Registration Year: 1977 Registration Number: 26412 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1904 The father on the above death certificate is "Unknown". However, I do not know, what his place of birth is. That will hopefully, be on the certificate. He appears to be alone on all the Vic electoral rolls between 1931 and 1977, with the occupation of "driver". If he is your man, from the death certificate, then, if you really want to, you can purchase the Probate Packet, from the website below. http://prov.vic.gov.au/index_search?searchid=54 James Simms Pensioner E Prahran 20 Aug 1977 834/014 VPRS 28/P8, unit 445 Mary Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
