Hi Diane, Did they come to Victoria? If so go to a local library and use digger database of bdm and get their deaths. Then go online to Department of Justice website which gives a link to bdm and purchase their certificates $17.50 each if you get the one you download to your printer. Their death certificates should give you details of where they married, when, how many children they had, parents names etc how long they lived in Vic. Another avenue is any children born in Vic would have details of ther parents marriage on the birth certificate. When using database it is quite possible that Willson may only be spelt with one "l" so use Wil*son. Its important to get all the information from Australia so you can pinpoint an area in Ireland to search.

We are not sure if they married in Ireland or in Australia where they settled and had their family.The family name of BOYD has been carried down to present day and we have been led to believe it was his mothers maiden name, but this is only hearsay, so no proof on that. We think is father was JOHN WILLSON but again no definite proof. Any help would be greatly appreciated or directions as to where I can go next. thanking in advance Dianne Melbourne |Australia ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NIR-ARMAGH-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message _________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!7 Mail has just got even bigger and better with unlimited storage on all webmail accounts. http://au.docs.yahoo.com/mail/unlimitedstorage.html
