Many thanks to all the kind ouls out there who responded to my request both on- and off-list. I do appreciate the feedback. The problem is I am looking for a needle in a haystack. We only have a family story to go on, no records. I am looking for my wife's great-uncle, Roderick MacKenzie, who was last registered in Scotland in 1959 the year his mother died. Family stories have him getting married to an English woman, having two daughters, going to Australia to live and dying there. We have no clue as to what order that happened. Did he marry in Scotland, England or AUstralia? Were the children born in the UK or AUstralia? We are told he divorced along the way, but again, no idea when or where. The fact that it is more recent doesn't help a BDM record search, I know. I was wondering if emigration records from Scotland or immigration records into Australia are available for modern day searches, and would offer us any clues as to timelines or the members of his party/family. Any and all suggestions are welcome. And Thanks again for all the help on Australian BDM sites. Regards, Gordon Harbison
