Hi Listers, How do I apply for death certificates from Perth WA please? What information will I find on a death cert from 1920s - 30s? Will it say how long the person had been in the country? Best Wishes, Jane in Scotland

I seemed to miss the original message for this request. I would be interested in knowing more about Norah O'Neill - do we know where she is from originally? do we know who her parents are and where they settled or did she come out from ?? on her own?

Can any-one help with a marriage and children and death of a Coral LIEBICH and Patrick FOX Sheelagh Wiles [email protected] http://www.tribalpages.com/tribes/hunter2000

For all those listers that have helped me, thank you. I would like to share another poem with you cheers Lyn I think that I shall never see, the finish of a family tree, as it forever seems to grow from roots that started long ago. Way back in an ancient time, in foreign land and distant clime, >From them grew trunk and branching limbs, that dated back to time so dim. One seldom knows exactly when, the parents met and married then; Nor when the twigs began to grow, with odd-named children, row on row. Though verse like this is made by me, the end's insight, as you can see. "Tis not the same with the family trees, that grow and grow through centuries. - Author unknown

Hi Kerry Many thanks for your reply - you have given us the impetus to try again. My sister-in-law is off to WA shortly so has been given all the instructions to go searching! Regards Katherine Everton Auckland, New Zealand >

Hi Katherine I have found that some registrations are not on the Pioneer Index. My Grandmother is not there either born around the same time. However when I first started with my family tree one library I went to had a hand written set of indexes and she was on that. I would suggest you write to Birth Death and Marriages P.O Box 7720 Cloisters Square Perth West Aust and ask them to do a search. You will have to pay alittle extra but could be well worth it.

Hi, I am new to this list and hope some one can help me. We were always told that my father-in-law was born in Perth in November 1900. His parents were not married and when his father died in 1903 his mother returned to NZ with her older sons (from her marriage) and the 3 year old. He took her married name, and in his late teens signed a document saying that he was known by this name (Everton) and would continue to be so. We have never seen a birth certificate, and cannot find an entry in the Pioneers Index CD under either parents name (Everton and Rotheram) or any likely substitute such as mother's or either grandmothers' maiden names. I am sure that registration of births was compulsory by then in WA - but was this scrupulously observed? Were any checks made against doctors or midwives records? I don't know if he was baptised, but guess it would have been likely. The family lived in Mount St, Perth. Can anyone suggest churches local to there (father was C of E, mother ??), and tell me where the baptismal registers for these would be now. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks in anticipation Katherine Everton Auckland, New Zealand

WHAT EXACTLY IS A TRANSCRIPTION AGENT AND HOW DOES ONE GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM? cheers Lyn

Hi Glen,That would be Bassendean....Rolf Harris was the 'boy from Bassendean'! He was much later of course. It is an older suburb about 10ks east of the City and on the same(north) side of the Swan River . It is also on the railway line. Subiaco is also an older suburb only a few ks west of the city also on the railway line (to Fremantle) and bounded on the other side by Kings Park and West Perth. Hay Street continues right down into Perth and East Perth. The Perth cemetry (Karrakatta) is on line.. www.mcb.wa.gov.au . All the best in your search. Denmark is down south as is Bunbury. Oh I know where Hahndorf is..I've been there..very pretty... cheers, Linda Sargent -----Original Message----- From: riskman <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, 21 August 2003 17:37 Subject: [AUS-WA] Fox Family members in the 1900-1960 >Hi List, > >I am hoping someone with the WA BDM details on disc and microfiche could do a look up for me - > >(1)James Fox a carpenter and his wife Marion left Port Augusta SA around 1895.

Hi List, I am hoping someone with the WA BDM details on disc and microfiche could do a look up for me - (1)James Fox a carpenter and his wife Marion left Port Augusta SA around 1895. By 1899 they were living in Subiaco with their son James and daughters Mabel and Marion. It is unknown if they had more children in WA.By 1908 the family was living at 42 Coughlan Rd, Subiaco. In 1911 it appears that James changed occupations to that of a bookseller and newsagent at 156 Hay Street, Subiaco. By 1913 James may have died as Mrs. M. Fox is listed as owner. Could someone please do a look up for James' death in this year.Marion appears to continue with the store until 1936, when she moves to 1327 Hay Street, Perth. In 1944 she appears to live at 61 Parker street, S. Bsndn (not sure what suburb this is so would appreciate advice) - by 1949 there is no mention of her - again would appreciate a look upfor her death in this year. (2)James (jnr) married Pearl Rossell on 29/3/1916 at the age of 22 then left for WW1.The pair had at least one child that - James Rossell Fox - I am not sure when he was born, but do know he went to WW2. In the electoral rolls James jnr may have become a bank manager by 1958 where he and Pearl lived in Randall Street, Denmark (again no idea where this is).By 1963 i think they were living at Australind in Bunbury - ?retired here then no record of either after 1965. (3) No idea of what happend to James Rossell - but have sent away for the war records. Would appreciate any advice or help listers could give, Kind regards Glenn in Hahndorf SA
