Hello all I am trying to find where my Grandfather Edward Albert (Ted)Goodrich is buried (without much luck I might add). He was born at Drake NSW in 1880 & married my Grandmother Alice Ada Mansfield at Tenterfield in 1901. The family moved to Moogoon Rd Goondiwindi where they had a property (selection). The house burnt down in 1919 - he was away working at Woolerina Station near Bollon Queensland at the time. He was estranged from the family sometime shortly after 1924 & I have had no success in finding a record of his whereabouts or his death after that time. I have paid for a complete search of the closed records in NSW & QLD & have searched the open records myself to no avail. Checked electoral records last entry I found was 1924 (still with his wife). Any suggestions? ( I know he probably didn't want to be found). Julie Graham Canberra

Hi Julie i just had to reply to your email, as i too live in Canberra my maiden name was Graham, and like you i have been searching maternal grandfather who did exactly the same thing,in 1920 without a trace i did not know that there were closed records that could be searched.

Well, you could try the St George council, they might have property records or the DPI. lands dept. might have records also. Balonne Shire Council might even give you another source to look at. robyndehood. ----- Original Message ----- From: "carol werner" <carola4@optusnet.com.au> To: <AUSTRALIA-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2003 9:17 PM Subject: [[AUS-CEM]] Re: [[AUS-CEM]] Looking for Goodrich > Hi Julie i just had to reply to your email, as i too live in Canberra my > maiden name was Graham, and like you i have been searching maternal > grandfather who did exactly the same thing,in 1920 without a trace i did not > know that there were closed records that could be searched.
