    3. Louis, It sounds like Andy has found your man in Victoria, but there are some sites you might like to try to get extra information. His arrival should be somewhere on http://naa12.naa.gov.au/Login.htm Victorian BDM records can be accessed through http://www.coraweb.com.au/ see under available BDM Indexes for Australia. There is a cost of 99 cents per view and there are privacy limitations on available years. But you should see his marriage and death. The above site Coraweb is a great gateway to all Australian resources, but it's so big you need to find your way around. Ancestry.com has immigration records, electoral rolls and directories if you have a worldwide subscription. You might also try Ancestry for any Family Trees. The national newspaper archives is another resource that could have family notices and the like that may refer to him, but I think he cut off date is about 1952. Try http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home and use the Advanced Search option And finally, just Google his name using quotation marks. You never know what might come up. Peter in Sydney
