Hi Chevron,
Welcome to RootsChat 
Unfortuanately we are unable to assist with living persons but I have left the thread so as our members may be able to offer advice or help you further privately. Can you please reply a couple of times so that we are able to communicate with you through our secure PM system. I have left you the URL for the Telephone Directory to see if there is a listing. I can see the person you are after seems to have arrived without family aboard the CASTLE FELICE which departed from Southampton 22 Oct 1957. Destination Melbourne. The entry lists his date of birth and a Belfast address which I will be happy to PM you once you have made a couple more posts.
All the best in your search
Cheers Kris 
Added - I have checked the telephone directory and find two persons listed in Victoria with the correct initials so may be worthwhile contacting them

Hi Kris. I have a death notice from Au. stating my Aunt Minnie (Mary) died in Sydney N.S.W. on the 1st May 1957.She and Jackie left Belfast  Father Robert died Belfast 1939. I have wrote to the library with no luck also checked election registry found one J.L. wrote to them but turned out to be an elderly lady no connection. I also have other McClure's but do not know where they are.
Thanks for the reply
Chevron

Hi Chevron,
I wonder if the information you have is correct.  On looking for mum I believe she was on the same ship, which would make the death you have incorrect. There is no Mary/Minnie McCLURE/MACCLURE listed as dying in NSW in 1957 or around this time.
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/search.htm
I believe they arrived in Melbourne so perhaps she died there but not on the date you have as the ship left Southampton on the 22 Oct 1957
I am going to PM the shipping but this looks like Mary
McCLURE M (female) date of Birth 10 Aug 1904, Married address 46 Cumberland St Belfast, occupation - Wife
Now the details I have coloured are not in the original ink. They have been later added in a different pen. The original did not contain a date of birth, marital status or occupation for this passenger. She is not the only passenger where details have been added at a later time. I did not realise she was on the ship originally as she is not listed on the same page as the boy - though address is the same.
I am sure one of our members will be able to see if there is a death listed for Mary/Minnie in Victoria.
Cheers Kris

Thanks for trying Cando and Judith. I don't know what to think. She can not have died on the date Chevron has, as she had not left England at that time. I cannot see a death listed in NSW to 1978 (extent of death records) Nothing in SA either. Waiting on Chevron I guess to see if she knows anything further. I had hoped as they arrived into Melbourne she may have died there........Kris

Hi to you all. This has been a puzzel to me for a number of years. This is the information I have.
(*) 51 Downing St. Belfast.Mother Mary Luney aka Minnie born 1904. Father Robert McClure b Dec 1903 d Dec 1939.
The story I was told was Minnie was taking John (Jackie) to Au. to her family as Minnie was sick, and as the ship was entering Sydney harbour Minnie died
that is as the story go's
Now as to the Death of Minnie I got it from Australasia.org showing a Mary McClure died 1st May 1957 Sydney NSW 1579 showing father Looney Spouse Robert McClure. This is where I got the orignal information and date's from. The post about this seems to check as to birth dates but??? maby some one ca sort out this from AustralasiaBDM. Thanks Chevron PS notice differant spelling of Looney/Luney

Hi Folks,
I don't know the site, but here is what Chevron is talking about. (Took a bit of finding) There is a submitter who it appears would be contactable if you were registered. If somebody has the certificate, we should be able to find the registration, even if the wrong date has been posted.
http://www.ausbdm.org/search.php
We know the date at least is wrong as she had not even left England at that time. The CASTEL FELICE was also calling at Sydney but these passengers had tickets to Melbourne. They date of births fit as Chevron has agreed.

Ignoring all the other "evidence" I searched in Victoria and found the following but not in 1957. Note the surname of the father and a burial record for John Luney McLURE in 1991.
MCCLURE Mary Thompson
Father Luney John Mother Isabella THOMPSON
At Sunshine 56 years 1960 Reg#11791
http://www.fcmp.com.au/
Fawkner Memorial Park wishes to advise that the location of the cremated remains of the late Mary Thompson McCLURE aged 56 are located at Garden Of Remembrance 1 Comp. Roses Bed E Rose 31. Date of service 5 Sep 1960.

Great find Cando.
The son John Looney McClure was born 13 April 1936. Certainly them.
