Exhumation is my game

Hi Pauline,
Scunthorpe General and the local doc. would certainly not release uncle Cyril's medical records, but I see no reason why, with a bit of pleading and begging they could not have a look and tell you when treatment began and ended - assuming they have the records that is.
Was he a sociable chap do you know? Would he have been a regular in the local pub, or been a member of any clubs and organisations? Was he alone or did he have a wife and children with him?
As far as the electoral roll is concerned, I believe you have to be resident for one year before you are included, but I don't think he would be allowed to vote here if he was an Australian citizen.
Also, I am not sure that he would have been able to claim any benefits, but this is something you could perhaps investigate.
Other than that, I think I am as stumped as you, but I will keep scratching my head for you! Maybe somebody else will have a few bright ideas.
Jill

Hi Pauline, 
your uncle would not have been 'made' an Australian citizen. Citizenship is applied for by choice and granted providing the person fulfills the criteria to become a citizen.
Some migrants live their entire life in Australia without becoming a citizen.
They are Australian 'residents' and still have full voting rights in their country of birth. Others hold duel nationality and have rights in both countries.
Hope this helps.
Darcy
