Their son, Harold Kendall Franklin enlisted in both the Army and Air Force during WW2 and I have his parents names and his death information from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. I have the death of Arthur Edgar in WA - buried at the Karratta Cemetery. 2. the death of Cornelius Thomas Franklin, born in Tas 1857, son of Benjamin and Margaret Franklin, lived in northern Victoria (Nathalia/Narioka) up to 1902, and has possibly travelled to WA after 1902 with his son, Arthur. 3. Albert Franklin, son of Cornelius and Parysatis Franklin, born ca1880 in Victoria (Parysatis died in Vic in 1886). No record can be found of the death of Albert in Victoria up to 1985 nor NSW up to 1945. I don't have access to any WA records so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in anticipation, Hilary Franklin, Kilcoy, Qld. ==== AUS-WA Mailing List ==== Q: Why do WA's cyber-genies hang out at the Perth DPS & use DPS-CHAT-L ?

Hi Helen, Thanks for your help. WA research is new for me. I would like to take up your offer of a grave photo (if there is one), please. First Names Last Name Application Number ARTHUR EDGAR FRANKLIN KB00097109 Names are only recorded in capitals See legend for application code details Aged (Years) Date of Death Suburb 76 01/05/1953 KOORDA Grave LocationKARRAKATTA ANGLICAN ZN 0743 This offer by you is much appreciated. Genealogists are a caring group :)))) I've also found about 40 of my Nind family buried in WA. in the cemetery search. I haven't checked whether they're at Karrakatta but will do so and ask for photos over a period of time if that's OK with you. As I said , this is really appreciated and I hope that I can help someone with research in this area of Queensland sometime. Kind regards, Hilary
