marriage mystery
« on: Sunday 18 October 09 20:32 UTC (UK) »
Hi

Leslie A Riches b. 1929 in Yarmouth, Norfolk
Father, Jack Riches, Mother, Phillis Dyball

The problem is, I cant find either of Leslies 2 marriages!! I've been told during his first marriage he had 2 children (don't know their dates of birth and cant find a common mothers maiden name to link them!!)
And during his second marriage he had a daughter, again, dont know date of birth!

Then at some point, they emmigrated to Australia, where he died

Help!!  Undecided

Moderator's Comment: Details of possible living people removed. Names of living people aren't allowed to be posted on Rootschat so if anyone can fill in more recent family details it would be best done by PM (personal message) rather than online.

Where have you looked?
FreeBMD is not complete, especially in the 1940s and 1950s.
You need to look in Find my Past or Ancestry, year by year, and quarter by quarter.
They are both Pay to View sites.
It is not allowed to discuss living people on Rootschat.
Someone may help you through the PM system.

Have searched through ancestry, no joy, and honestly, i'm not 100% sure they are still alive!
But if anyone can help me with this then pm me just to be sure!
Thanks for your reply

 - you can see his 1950 emigration.  He sailed from Glasgow, so perhaps you should check Scottish records for his first marriage.

hi
if you search the australian national archives you will find his file for assistance to migrate. its not been copied yet but you could apply for it. it shows he arrived in perth so maybe you could start your search there.

Thanks for all your replies,

I've since been informed, he moved to Australia before he married his first wife, which is probably why I cant find either record
He also emmigrated from Norfolk/Suffolk, he never went to Scotland

Thanks for your time and help
