Martin, I see your Frank George DORAN migrated to Melbourne Victoria in 1924, have you located an index reference for this man's death registration? If he died in Victoria it is possible to search for the reference (there's a small charge for the results in that state. If the information contained is the same as on Queensland certificates then this man's parents may be listed on the index, as well as on his marriages. check out http://www.coraweb.com.au/bdmau.htm also check this out http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/script/veteran.asp?ServiceID=A&VeteranID=458493 his ww2 service record may contain details of his parents...this shows his next of kin as Florence Doran. hope this helps cheers Bob in Brisbane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin & Glenys Bishop" <mandgtb@virginmedia.com> To: <MIDDLESEX_COUNTY_UK@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 14, 2010 11:43 PM Subject: [MDX] Frank George DORAN born Marylebone Qtr 3 1910. > Hello > > I am a new subscriber to this list.
